Red sand dust

After dealing with the others, Uzumaki Naruto was not slow enough to tell his private affairs in public. Instead, he and Hatake Kakashi found a secluded place to chat alone.

"My father is the Fourth Hokage?"

Facing Naruto Uzumaki's attacking gaze, Kakashi Hatake shook his head in embarrassment:

"you do not know?"

"No one has ever told me this. Growing up, I was called a monster..."

Uzumaki Naruto said some cruel words calmly.

Indeed, before he became a ninja, except for a few acquaintances, everyone regarded him as a scourge.

Children's emotions are so simple, and they naturally respond to the attitudes of adults. Even Uzumaki Naruto once doubted whether he was really a monster.

Human beings are highly social, intelligent creatures. Most individuals need to find their own place in the world. Being different from ordinary people is often not a good thing.

Not to mention idiots with weird thoughts and behaviors, even geniuses who are not understood by others are easily rejected by the surrounding environment.

It is quite rare for people like Uzumaki Naruto to grow up smoothly and not have a twisted personality that turns to the point of retaliating against society. Looking at his peers, Gaara, Daimaru's brother-in-law, the environment in which he grew up is even worse.

Children are easier to control, but when they grow up and are experienced jinchuriki, they will inevitably end up defecting like the four-tailed jinchuriki, Lao Zi, and the six-tailed jinchuriki, Yugao.

Hatake Kakashi said apologetically:

"I thought you had guessed it yourself, and Lord Jiraiya would tell you..."

Uzumaki Naruto shook his head and sighed slightly:

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I probably feel that even if it is clarified, nothing will change..."

Hatake Kakashi explained,

"The Sandaime may have had his own considerations. As for later, he probably felt that you no longer need the blessing of your ancestors' reputation!"

"That's not what I'm talking about, Kakashi-sensei! You can't have a background, but I don't have one. I used to watch the children playing games in the park being picked up by their parents, and I was the only one using the rides..."

Uzumaki Naruto said in a low tone,

"Monsters don't have to have parents, people do..."

Some things, as you grow older, you may not care about them too much, but that doesn’t mean they will be forgotten.

"I was negligent!"

"Actually, I have some vague guesses. The Lustful Immortal must know, but... I don't dare to ask!"

It's best if it's true, but what if it's not?

Uzumaki Naruto's IQ is not so low that he cannot see other people's attitudes clearly, it's just that his brain is not working hard in this direction.

There was once a little uneasiness in my heart, but many things happened later, some "insignificant" things, and I suppressed it until now.

In fact, to a certain extent, it makes sense to regard the jinchūriki as humanoid monsters.

"Really!"

Hatake Kakashi was a little shy.

As a leading teacher, I did not do a good job in some aspects. Another reason is that there is a generation gap between teachers and students, and there are omissions in caring.

At this time, the bond of peers becomes even more important. Uchiha Sasuke, a teammate and competitor, and the introduction of the love triangle, Haruno Sakura, play a crucial role.

After weighing it for a moment, Hatake Kakashi continued to say:

"The vast majority of the villagers actually don't know that you are the child of the village hero, the Fourth Hokage. After evaluation, our teaching team believes that your life experience will not have much impact on you. However, we have ignored a child's Feel..."

In the daily practice of ninjas, the late Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina did not play any role, but for a child like Uzumaki Naruto, they were definitely not dispensable.

This embarrassing situation makes the Konoha ninja who talks about the "endless will of fire" a little embarrassed.

The glory of "jade" that has been fought for for decades can't shine on the fourth generation of Hokage and his children?

"I don't mean to blame, Kakashi-sensei, it's just that it feels a bit unreal..."

In the past dreams, Uzumaki Naruto also imagined what his parents were like, but he actually saw them in the illusion created by the "Waterfall of Reality". Apart from excitement, the remaining emotion was grievance.

In addition, although the image of the parents is still within the scope of speculation, but...

"It's very ordinary!" 』

"We will talk about the past things later. Naruto, what exactly did you encounter in the illusion of the 'Waterfall of Reality'?"

Uzumaki Naruto did not hide the news about how he would compete with the Kyuubi and how his parents saved him at the critical moment of the stalemate.

With Uzumaki Naruto's eloquence, it would be nice to be able to explain the situation he encountered clearly and without any fallacies.

"Is it the remaining chakra will that was sealed with the Kyuubi?"

Kakashi Hatake, who couldn't help mumbling to himself, did not doubt Naruto Uzumaki's words. People who have been dead for a long time can be resurrected again and again, leaving behind a chakra that affects future generations. It's really nothing special. .

In the past, it would definitely attract various investigations, but now there is no such concern.

In the past two years, the top combat power of the ninja world has improved too quickly.

When the reputation of "Copy Ninja" was at its peak, Hatake Kakashi thought he had the ability to compete with Orochimaru, one of the "Three Ninjas", but it turned out that he had thought too much.

Of course, Hatake Kakashi, who has been waiting for three or four years, is now really confident to face an opponent at the "Five Shadows" level. There is not much hope of winning, but at least he will not be crushed by killing intent like before. He barely dared to move and fight back.

Not only Uzumaki Naruto and his friends have grown up, the seniors have not relaxed either.

Next, the two continued to communicate in depth, and Uzumaki Naruto also demonstrated the power that could be unleashed after basically mastering the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body.

The individual Nine-tails Chakra mode and the Sage mode have almost the same combat power, but the former focuses on long-lasting and stable offense and defense, while the latter's explosive power is even more amazing.

But after the two were still integrated into one, something magical happened. The new fairy fox mode was not only perfectly compatible with the characteristics of the nine tails, but also increased the increase of the fairy mode to a very exaggerated level.

For example, perception, with Uzumaki Naruto's talent, he can actually sense malice from a very long distance. This can only be done by masters like Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo who have mastered the very special Yin Escape Ninja Technique.

"Reconciled with the tailed beast?"

"No, the big guy inside me has a bad temper. With the help of my parents, I can barely suppress it..."

It was like this from the beginning. How could the unruly tailed beast give in so easily?

Although Uzumaki Naruto's method is rough, it is also effective. He must be convinced first, then use it, and it will not be too late to gradually change him in the future.

Even though this was not Uzumaki Naruto's intention, now he couldn't wait any longer.

What's more, this is still the territory of Yun Ninja, so it's better not to delay things too much when asking for help.

only……

Uzumaki Naruto looked in a certain direction.

There had been a burst of very obscure chakra there. After the perception had been greatly improved, it was basically impossible for any ninja to sneak up on him, and it was even easier to detect secretly peeping eyes.

Yun Ninja, who originally thought he was worried about being monitored, now seemed to have something wrong.

…

In the Land of Rain, Koyamabuki, who left in time with the invisible chameleon, gracefully waved his small black wings and wandered around Daimaru.

Not far away, Konan, who had been remembering for a long time in front of the flowerbed where Nagato's body was placed, finally came to his senses, and then seemed to be mumbling something to himself.

"What a poor woman!"

Xiaoshan was lamenting that one of the top ninjas in the ninja world actually lost his fighting spirit after almost all his former partners died. He had no strength, but was unable to control his own destiny.

"It's a bit pitiful, but it's not so unbearable that she would be let go! The Renegade Ninja Organization has done so many bad things over the years. Even if she didn't do it herself, does she still look innocent?"

During the Ninja World War that year, there were countless wandering orphans along with Konan, Nagato and Yahiko. In the end, only three of them were lucky enough to be valued by Jiraiya and teach them ninjutsu.

If the "Akatsuki" they formed were not too naive, they would not have encountered the joint encirclement and suppression by the Amegakure Village led by Sansho Hanzo and the "Root" organization led by Shimura Danzo.

Because of the orders of "gods" and "angels", how many of the rain ninjas who worked as warmongers in the ninja world failed in their missions and ended up in hell?

Daimaru truly feels that these guys who have so-called lofty ideals but cannot realize them are not only hateful, but also a bit sad.

If you can't even protect your close friends, how can you talk about changing the world and erasing the sins of the ninja world?

Do you really think that being called "god" and "angel" by others means that you are otherworldly?

For young people, overestimating their own strength and having unrealistic illusions is indeed a way to die.

Of course, they are not too wrong. The masterminds behind the scenes, Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, are the culprits of all tragedies.

"If you can't even settle the Kingdom of Rain, how did you come up with the idea of ​​mediating the war between Iwagakure and Konoha?"

Daimaru asked seriously. Nagato's dirty body, who was standing not far behind, suddenly opened his eyes, hesitated for a moment and then replied:

"Conflicts caused by poor communication and lack of understanding can always reach a consensus as long as there are appropriate dialogue channels..."

Daimaru chuckled, thought about his words and said:

"Who told you this?"

"What, isn't it right? Yahiko proposed this idea, and Xiaonan and I both support it..."

"Well, with your experience, it would be great if you can realize this!"

The so-called objective law of "natural selection and survival of the fittest" actually exists. The pessimistic view and the law of the jungle of the weak and the strong have never been out of date.

However, there is a fundamental difference between humans, social intelligent creatures, and beasts that act purely on instinct.

From the simple "restraining oneself and restoring rituals" to "preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires" to "studying things to achieve knowledge", the "knowledge" here refers to conscience, as well as the Renaissance from divinity to humanity, various trends of thought Progress actually means acknowledging objective reality and insisting that human beings are the primates of all things.

The Great Ninja War, in which the five major ninja villages were involved, was actually the result of the struggle for living space and the outburst of various conflicts. It was definitely not explained by lack of communication and lack of understanding.

In the past, the residents of the Kingdom of Wind were short of food and clothing. Do they want the residents of the Kingdom of Fire to also go hungry and give half of their food and clothes to strangers?

If you don't understand, it's easy to create conflicts, but what if you understand?

There are too many contradictions that need to be resolved, and it cannot be solved by setting up a neutral mediation organization.

If it really works, at the Five Kage Conference, the leaders of each village can communicate face to face and candidly, and there will be no such thing as a Ninja World War.

Knowing is one thing, how to do it is another.

"Both you and Yahiko are dead, leaving only Konan alone. What do you think will happen to him in the future?"

"You ask me what's the use of a dead person?"

"Isn't this curiosity?"

Daimaru said teasingly,

"Speaking of which, although they have a close relationship like family, Yahiko and Konan are lovers. You, the guy you have a crush on, are really a failure..."

As if being told the central issue, Nagato immediately fell silent. The indifferent expression on his dirty body completely concealed his mental state.

Regardless of what the "dead people" around him thought, Daimaru continued to joke:

"The Akatsuki organization that changes the world and works hard for peace, to put it bluntly, is Yahiko's ideal. Unfortunately, he has the heart to be a savior, but he does not have the destiny. I am very curious, you who are determined to inherit Yahiko's will, really think Did you do the right thing? Let me tell you a piece of top-secret information. Xiaonan actually doesn’t care much about the great ideals of the Xiaonan organization. He just instinctively supports his sweetheart! If you were willing, you could actually live in seclusion with Xiaonan and start a family. Live a peaceful little life..."

To put it bluntly, Konan and Nagato are not strong people determined to change the world at all. The backbone of the three children who have supported each other since childhood is Yahiko. After Yahiko died and the pillar fell, Konan and Nagato had no idea at all. , continue to maintain the activities of the "Akatsuki" organization, just because they don't know what to do.

It is precisely because of their lack of confidence that Uchiha Obito and Zetsu easily distorted the "Akatsuki" organization into what it is now.

"If Yahiko saw his little friend doing such stupid things under his own banner, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the Pure Land..."

"How can you, a winner who was born in a great ninja village, understand the thoughts of people from small countries like us?"

Nagato retorted somewhat unconvincingly, and Daimaru curled his lips disdainfully:

"I am so stupid to discuss this with you! In short, now Uchiha Obito is coming with his cavalry to snatch the Rinnegan Eye. Do you think I should save her?"

After a pause, Daimaru smiled playfully:

"Don't just ignore it because you are a dead person. Xiaonan is still useful, but I'm still hesitant about whether to use it or not. If you cooperate with my plan, it's not impossible to consider..."

The inflexible earth body is too restrictive, but if Nagato can actively cooperate, Daimaru can also relax a lot.
