Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

Chapter 674: Last Words [Part ]

“If you ask me, you’re just crazy. Why do you want to die when you can live?” The Fourth Raikage still had a hot temper.

He should indeed be angry. You Ya was from the same era as his father. He suppressed his father for an entire era and then suppressed him for an entire era again.

The Hidden Cloud Village is steadily improving, and the Fourth Raikage always believes that he will catch up with Yuya one day.

Especially after knowing that Yuya had stepped down, the Fourth Raikage didn't care about Hinata at all.

Hinata's pure eye ability is indeed terrifying. It is known to have the effect of eliminating all released ninjutsu.

In this situation, except for the possession and strengthening ninjutsu such as chakra armor, most of the other ninjutsu of the Fourth Raikage were strictly restrained.

But the ninja world today is no longer an era where the strong are respected.

Yuya rewrote the rules of the entire ninja world.

war?

Which village in Konoha Village dares to say that it can completely withstand the modern war?

Even Otsutsuki Momoshiki was defeated, and the top leaders of other villages who knew about this war had made their assessment.

If Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had not landed in Konoha, he could have brought devastating consequences in any of their villages.

But the Leaf Village held on.

This eliminated the possibility of them going to war with Konoha.

But in the end, even if war cannot be fought, a trade war is still fine.

You Yadu has already resigned, are they still going to be afraid of a little girl?
then……

You're telling me now that you want to commit suicide?

What a joke!
Just watch carefully and see how our Hidden Cloud Village surpasses your Konoha!

Youya rolled his eyes, took a puff of his cigarette and didn't bother to pay attention to the idiot Fourth Raikage.

Ohnoki also looked at the Fourth Raikage speechlessly: "Do you know how to comfort people? If not, just shut up! Damn it, your brain can make the dead angry again. You have no ability except talking hard, and you still want the Hidden Cloud Village to surpass Konoha?

How about looking in the mirror?"

The Fourth Raikage looked at Ōnoki with gritted teeth and was almost about to fight with him.

Mei Terumi from the Hidden Mist Village stood up at this moment.

She looked at Youya with a complicated expression: "Are you...really going to commit suicide?"

Youya nodded and then laughed, "Why do you have that expression? If I commit suicide, you in the Hidden Mist Village will probably be the happiest."

There is a reason why the Hidden Mist Village is still the weakest among the five major ninja villages.

After the civil strife in the Hidden Mist Village, the village was in a state of disrepair. In order to develop the village, Yagura, the predecessor of Mei Terumi, made it a priority to ensure that the villagers had enough food.

To this end, he sold out a large amount of the village's interests, including the already scarce minerals and resources of the Hidden Mist Village.

Even the unimportant but high-level state institutions in the Hidden Mist Village, such as TV stations, are under the control of Konoha Village.

Karatachi Yagura spoke the truth to Mei Terumi before she went on stage.

He knew that he must be at the bottom of the historical evaluation of the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, but he did not regret doing so.

After all, people need to eat.

Mei Terumi also knew the consequences of the civil strife.

During those years of civil unrest and war, a bowl of white rice could make a woman sleep with you, and a bag of rice was enough to drive many people crazy and make countless people willing to work for you.

That tragic civil war made everyone in the Hidden Mist Village understand a truth.

If the interior of the Hidden Mist Village is not stable, something big will definitely happen.

It is true that Karutagi Yagura caused a lot of blood to flow to Konoha Village in order to stabilize the internal situation.

But during his tenure, at least there were fewer people starving to death.

This is the greatest political achievement.

Mei Terumi doesn't think that Karatachi Yagura did anything wrong, so if she really wants to blame someone...

The Konoha Village that takes advantage of others' misfortune?
That’s not right. After all, they are giving you aid, so it’s normal for you to give them some resources in exchange.

only……

Compared to finding problems within the village, setting up Youya as a role model is undoubtedly more in line with the interests of the Hidden Mist Village.

So Mei Terumi chose to stigmatize Yuya.

But that’s all.

If I really want to talk about my feelings towards Youya...

The only feeling that Mei Terumi had was:
I wish I could be a member of the Hidden Mist Village.

This is also the common voice of other villages.

If You Ya was in their village, they would promise to give up their positions and let others take over. Any hesitation would be a doubt on You Ya's ability.

pity……

Sighing, Terumi Mei looked at Youya, and after a moment she spoke softly: "I won't advise you, this is all your choice, but...

If you die, the ninja world will probably not be so peaceful in the future."

You Ya sneered: "Don't say that. It's as if this era is so peaceful only because of me."

Well, although this is indeed the truth...

Youya took another deep puff of cigarette, then whispered to the others, "Don't worry, Hinata is my successor. Doesn't this incident prove that she is quite capable? She won't let the things you worry about happen."

"Are you so confident in her?" Luo Sha couldn't help but ask.

You Ya nodded: “Of course, she has proven her ability to me over the past few years.

Of course, since her main goal is to develop the village, it's normal that you don't know."

The others didn't speak.

Gaara looked at Youya quietly, and all Gaara could see in Youya's eyes was carefreeness.

Someone who is not afraid of death...

Gaara pursed his lips.

His mother died two years ago.

In fact, it was a miracle that his mother could live to the first two years given her physical condition.

But Gaara was still very sad at that time.

After all, my mother is dying and any normal person would feel sad.

But in her last moments, Gaara's mother told him that she was not afraid of death.

Gaara was in great pain and disbelief at that time.

How could there be anyone who is not afraid of death?

Although his mother said that it was because Gaara and her children gave her the power, Gaara still didn't understand.

Until now...

Gaara looked at Yuya who had a calm face, and felt extremely touched in his heart.

And Yuya is not dead. Yuya is in very good health. Compared with Sarutobi Hiruzen of the same age, he is in a far different state.

Under normal circumstances, Yuya would definitely be able to live to Ōnoki's age.

But Youya chose to give up...

Gaara was shocked.

In his heart, his understanding of life seemed to have deepened a little bit...

"What do you think the future of the ninja world will be like for the Third Hokage?" Luo Sha asked Yuya.

You Ya rolled his eyes and said, "You bastard, even when I'm about to die, you still want to exploit my value? Do you have to be so shameless?"

Rosa looked at the complaint on Youya's face, and vaguely seemed to see the figure who had come to their Sand Village in the past, and was still full of vigor and vitality...

At that time, he was just an ordinary elite jonin following Chiyo. At that time...

What was he thinking?

Sighing, Luo Sha shook his head: "Sorry, I was abrupt."

Youya chuckled and did not answer Luosha's question, but looked at the boy following behind Ohnoki.

"Your name is Deidara, right? I heard that you're a guy who's always trying to make bigger explosions?

Why don't you just blow up the Iwagakure Village?"

Deidara looked confused.

I'm not crazy. I could just blow up a corner of the village, but why did I have to blow up the whole village? !
You Ya smiled and shook his head. Forget it. These people wouldn’t understand if I played jokes on them.

Speaking of which, there are obviously parallel worlds, so why do these people never collect information about the parallel worlds themselves?
You Ya was very confused.

In fact, these shadows did not want to collect, but because Youya did not take the lead, they felt that if Youya did not do it, then they would not give Youya any reason.

If Youya knew they were thinking this way, he would definitely laugh out loud.

I'm not taking the lead because I know how the plot develops. What do you mean by not collecting it?
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it is collected or not, it will not affect the progress of this world.

Instead of collecting the history of parallel worlds, it is better to focus on your own world.

Oonoki looked at Yuya and started cursing.

It was obvious that Ōnoki felt that Yuya was deliberately trying to lead Deidara astray.

Well, in a sense it is true.

You Ya and Si Ying chatted for a long time, for half an hour.

Half an hour later, the four shadows came out one after another.

The expressions on the four people's faces were very dazed.

After all, these four people understood it.

You Ya is determined to commit suicide.

Although I don't understand, isn't it just that the Thousand Hands disease causes people to forget some things?

Why go to the point of committing suicide?

But since Youya has already made the decision, they can't say anything.

After Mei Terumi walked out, she sighed and looked at Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki standing beside her.

"The Third Hokage is letting you two in."

Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. After all, they thought that after the Kage, the ones who would go in would be the representatives of the contemporary Konohagakure such as Sarutobi Asuma.

But now that I've been named, it's not impossible to go in now.

Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina took a deep breath, then slowly stepped forward and pushed open the golden door.

But when she saw Youya sitting there with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette and his head supported by his hands, Uzumaki Kushina's tears came out immediately.

You Ya was completely speechless.

He had already chosen the most acceptable posture, but Uzumaki Kushina still cried...

"ε=(ο｀*))) Oh, don't cry, little pepper."

Uzumaki Kushina wiped her eyes and said to Yuya with a choked voice: "No one has called me by this nickname for decades."

Youya raised his eyebrows, laughed, said nothing, turned his head and looked at Minato Namikaze: "Minato, it seems that your status in the family is not very good. You haven't dared to call Kushina like this for decades."

Minato Namikaze could only smile bitterly.

Youya sighed, looking at Uzumaki Kushina who was rubbing her eyes and Namikaze Minato who looked reluctant, he couldn't help but sneered: "Hahaha, I say, aren't you two a little too serious? Why are you like this? For ninjas, birth, aging, sickness and death are normal things, aren't they?
In ninja school, the first lesson is to learn to accept death."

Namikaze Minato remained silent.

Uzumaki Kushina held Yuya's hand. Although Yuya's hand was a little old, it was still strong.

“If it weren’t for you, I would have been controlled by those bastards of the Uzumaki clan, and I wouldn’t have met Minato, let alone have all the happiness I have now.

Brother Youya...

Have you forgotten what Grandma Mito told you? She told you to take care of my...

If that’s the case…how could you…how could you…just abandon me like this…”

Yuya was silent.

Looking at the tearful Kushina in front of him, Yuya seemed to see himself when he was a child through Kushina's red hair. Hashirama Senju saw himself looking for something useful in the garbage dump of Konoha Village at that time...

At that time, Konoha Village was very poor. Except for the big ninja clans, most villagers lived in wooden houses built by Hashirama Senju using Wood Release.

However, a house alone is not enough.

Food, bedding, clothing...

At that time, Konoha Village was in ruins...

At that time, Yuya had just come to this world and understood what was going on in the Ninja World a few years after the war ended...

In order to survive, he had to do some sneaky things.

I also have to go to the scrap yard of Konoha Village every day to see if I can find anything useful...

Until that day, he saw Senju Hashirama...

There was a look of worry between Hashirama Senju's brows as he looked at the scene in the village.

He ended the war and created the ninja village system.

His Wood Release technique can allow everyone to live in a house, but it cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone...

That day, Youya made a decision. He ran to Senju Hashirama and boldly introduced himself...

after that……

Senju Hashirama took him home, and Uzumaki Mito cooked him a meal that he would never forget...

In fact, Uzumaki Mito’s cooking skills are not outstanding, and the meal was not very delicious.

But Youya never forgot that taste...

"laugh"

The cigarette butt between his fingers burned to the bottom, burning Youya's fingers.

You Ya felt pain and came back to his senses.

And as if she saw Yuya lost in his memories, an expectant look appeared on Uzumaki Kushina's face.

You Ya silently pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray beside him.

There are already more than a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray.

You Ya suddenly laughed.

Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato looked at Yuya with nervous expressions.

They were looking forward to seeing Youya say the words they wanted to hear...

As long as Youya is willing to give up, they will never let Youya die.

Youya laughed and shook his head, looking at Uzumaki Kushina with a serious face and said: "You are right, I will always remember the promise that Master Mito made to me."

Uzumaki Kushina's eyes lit up: "Then..."

Yuya interrupted Uzumaki Kushina and looked at her seriously, “But that’s why I can’t forget this promise.

The promise the man made...

Even if I die, I must never forget it."

You Ya's expression was full of indifference and...

Determined...
