Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 369: The Extremely Ridiculous Idea

Can you convince Naruto?

unknown.

But after all, the plot in this life is very different from the original, and Naruto's own life trajectory has undergone earth-shaking changes since 12 years ago. Menma can only try his best.

Whatever the outcome, it was not something he could control.

After three to five minutes of silence.

Naruto's not-so-bright little brain finally came back to his senses slowly. The contents that seeped into his brain bit by bit, and Naruto finally understood it all thoroughly.

"One country, one ninja village, is that the same as what the first generation said? This is indeed a true path to peace."

Naruto muttered, his eyes lighting up in sync as he spoke.

When Menma heard Naruto's words, he was surprised and looked Naruto up and down.

Could this guy really be persuaded?
Judging from the posture, it is obvious that he agrees with my point of view?
Menma raised his eyebrows and was about to say something.

"So that's how it is. I understand what you mean. If every ninja in every ninja village and every citizen in the ninja world become one family, then there is really no need to worry about any conflicts or disputes. Even if there are, they are internal conflicts, just like us brothers. They are the kind of problems that can be solved by sitting down and talking to each other. Brother, I finally understand your intention, and I will definitely help you. I will help you convince the village, oh, the village of Konoha, and the ninjas in other countries and villages. Let's sit down together and have a good talk about forming a truly peaceful country and ninja village!"

Naruto looked at Menma with excitement and said impatiently.

Naruto, who was talking to himself, didn't notice that Menma's expression had turned gloomy. When he heard Naruto's previous words, Menma thought that it was a probability of less than one in ten thousand that Naruto would actually be persuaded by him. It seems that the influence of Ashura's chakra is also very limited. Although Naruto is still the same Naruto, he is still the type who can be persuaded.

but.

That last sentence still exposed Naruto's true nature.

What does it mean to convince others? To sit down and have a good talk about forming a country or a ninja village?

How naive a person must be to say such a thing?
Of course, Menma did not deny that such a method was indeed theoretically possible, but was this theory only one in ten thousand? Not even one in a hundred thousand or one in a million! ?
Do not!
It should be said that it is infinitely close to 0!

Want to have a good talk?
Let the daimyo of other countries give up their status? Let other ninja villages give up their titles, let the Kages voluntarily admit defeat?

Is this possible!?
Even a powerful Hokage like the First Hokage, with such a high charisma, wanted to gather all the ninja clans to form Konoha, but he still almost failed! ?
To put it bluntly, he is a "naive" person like Uchiha Madara.

If Uchiha Izuna were to take charge of the clan, the Senju and Uchiha clan would never stand together.

It should also be said that among the ninja clans that formed Konoha together at that time, only the Senju and Uchiha clans had real life-and-death feuds.

The conflicts between other ninja clans were only minor ones in ordinary missions, and they had not yet reached the point of life and death. When they saw that the benefits of merging together were greater than the costs, they would of course be happy to do so. Not to mention that the establishment of a ninja village at that time was merely to add another ninja village organization above the clan.

This does not mean that all families should be abolished.

There is an essential difference.

The idea of ​​one country and one ninja village that Menma is proposing now is to abolish other countries and other ninja villages.

This is damaging the fundamental interests of other countries and ninja villages.

Blocking someone's financial path is like killing his parents.

Now, this move is more than just blocking people's financial resources! ? Not to mention that the hatred between the major countries is comparable to that between the Senju and Uchiha, or even stronger.

"It seems I'm overthinking..."

Looking at Naruto who was still excitedly talking about the so-called 'happy new world in the future where people understand each other', Menma was also thinking self-deprecatingly in his heart.

"Naive and stupid, Naruto. I thought you had finally come to terms with this, but I didn't expect you to still have such ridiculous and childish thoughts."

Menma's expression turned cold, and he interrupted Naruto in an extremely arrogant tone.

"Eh? Huh? What do you mean, brother..."

We were having a nice chat before.

Suddenly, I heard Menma's words, which became extremely cold.

Naruto's heart trembled subconsciously, and he looked at his brother with a look of astonishment and confusion on his little face.

"Sit down and have a good talk? Build a country and a ninja village together? Naruto, who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? Do you know what a country and a ninja village mean? Let them give up and merge together? You should know by now that I am trying to merge Takigakure and Kusagakure, but that is based on the fact that I am the actual controller of the two ninja villages, so I can do this. But what about other ninja villages? What qualifications do you think you have to make the daimyos of those countries give up their status and power? Make those Kage give up their identities? And abandon the name of your own ninja village, why? Just because of your mouth!?"

Menma looked at Naruto with cold eyes and spoke word by word.

"Me? But this is for world peace. I think the people of the ninja villages in various countries should understand..."

Naruto said as if he was a little anxious.

"Yes, the people will understand, but what about those in high positions? Do you really not understand, or are you so naive that you think the so-called peace can convince them to give up their status and power? Unless such a merger is based on them, they will accept it. But there is only one main body after all. Don't say that it is impossible for me to give up the dominant power. Even if I can, who do you think it should be given to? Which ninja village will definitely be recognized by all countries and ninja villages!? Naruto, use your brain to think about it for me! ”

it is ridiculous!

If humans were truly the kind of creatures that could give up everything else for the sake of peace, the so-called disputes would never have occurred.

Humans are often selfish creatures.

"But...but..."

Menma's harsh words deeply hurt Naruto's heart. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

He seemed to understand what Menma meant.

But I don’t think it’s that exaggerated.

Isn’t peace what everyone pursues?

Then other things should not be important, or nothing is more important than peace? This is also in line with what Grandpa Jiraiya said about a world where people understand each other? Just like what the first Hokage did, right?

Did I understand it wrong?

Naruto looked at Menma with a confused look on his face.

Facing such eyes.

Menma was also stunned. Suddenly, he realized that Naruto seemed to be only 13 years old, in the true sense of the word.

This age is in the world of Menma’s previous generation.

Just a junior high school student.

How mature can one’s world view, outlook on life and values ​​be?

This is a distorted world. The peaceful world that the first Hokage hoped for, where children would not have to go to the front lines, is just an illusory dream.

Don't talk about Naruto.

Killing people is not an exaggeration in this world.

Furthermore, in Menma's previous life, he had heard of children killing people, and it was not an isolated case. Just like the ninjas in this world, there existed so-called "Boy Scouts" somewhere in that world.

This reminded Menma of a sentence from his previous life: they were not born in a peaceful era, they were just living in a powerful and peaceful country. It was normal for Naruto not to understand.

Child, what can you understand?

Menma smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

"It seems that you still don't understand. Just stay here quietly for now, Naruto."

After Menma gave Naruto a deep look, he decided to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, brother, if you say this is impossible, then how are you going to achieve a country and a ninja village!?"

Seeing Menma about to leave.

Naruto suddenly became anxious and stepped forward again to block Menma, asking with a hint of urgency.

"What means? Do you really want to know, Naruto?"

Hearing Naruto's urgent question.

This time, Menma put away his previous indifference, and the smile that appeared on his face was obviously full of "malice".

The moment I saw it.

Naruto's whole body trembled subconsciously.

In his heart, he was resisting to hear Menma's answer. There was a voice in his head that repeatedly warned him to reject his brother's answer.

But the words come to your lips.

It was like the tremendous courage that was mustered in my heart.

Naruto took a deep breath, nodded heavily and replied: "I want to know how you are going to do it, brother!"

Firm words, resolute eyes.

"That's what we want..."

The moment Menma's pupils revealed a peculiar light, he smiled lightly, then his expression changed, and he said in an extremely cold tone: "That is naturally the means of blood and fire, Naruto, aren't they unwilling? Aren't they going to resist? Then all those who oppose, all those who refuse peace will be destroyed, from the spirit to the body. In this way, the opponents will disappear, and the obstacles to peace will naturally disappear. At that time, all countries and ninja villages can be forcibly merged to establish a truly unified world, a truly peaceful and tranquil society!"

Great unification!
Great unification under the mode of force.

This is Menma's goal.

This is also the path that Menma thinks is the most correct.

This was the only path to peace that had been proven over thousands of years in the Celestial Empire where Menma had lived in his previous life.

A unified country cannot eliminate all contradictions, and internal disputes will occur one after another at different time points, but they are ultimately still within the acceptable and suppressible range.

The dominant power is always in the hands of the "government".

As long as those in power keep a clear and calm mind at all times, they can govern fairly and treat the people justly.

A world under a new order of peace and tranquility is something we can look forward to!

This is Menma’s goal and also Menma’s expectation.

However, Naruto obviously would not agree with this.

At that moment, his posture was as if he had been struck by thunder, his eyes were wide open, and he revealed a hint of shock.

"Isn't that war?! Won't that mean bloodshed and death?! How can there be peace with this approach?! Brother, do you know what you are talking about?! You need to wake up, this is the wrong approach!"

It was only a second or two later.

Naruto reacted immediately, tightly grasping Menma's right arm with both hands, with a look of disbelief, and shouted urgently and loudly.

In Naruto's opinion.

My brother’s thoughts are terrible.

Using war to create peace?
Isn't this a joke!? How can war bring peace!? This is totally an inequality!
It is not certain that success will be achieved, not to mention how many people will die in the process.

Even if it succeeds in the end.

Can a country and a ninja village formed in this way usher in peace?!

Doesn't the hatred between them still exist?!

by that time.

"How are you going to face the remaining people whose relatives and friends have died? Are you going to kill them all? Isn't that a more horrible act? Peace created by means of hatred is a false peace. It will only create a wrong chain of hatred, brother!!!"

It was as if Naruto wanted to use this method to wake up his brother and tell him that this was a wrong approach.

However, Menma was completely unmoved and simply looked at Naruto with indifferent eyes.

Wrong approach?
Casualties in war?

Is there also the issue of hatred after unification?

No, these are not problems, because these are all correct practices that have been fully proven in Menma's lifetime.

This is not the only and correct way.

There is no way to know the facial numbness.

Because he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

But what he can be sure of is that this must be the most appropriate and practical approach at the moment.

"Please stop making such ridiculous remarks, okay? Use your brain and think carefully about what I said before. What is true peace? Hmm?"

Menma snapped.

"Wrong approach? The resulting chain of hatred? That's just your opinion, Naruto. The road to peace will not come automatically, but we need to fight for it with our own hands. Have a good discussion? If you are always so naive, you will stay here for the rest of your life. Remember, Naruto, war is just a means, a necessary means to peace! Think about it carefully!"

There was no warmth in Menma's eyes.

With a strong swing of his right hand, he easily broke free of Naruto's hands, and then did not give Naruto any chance to speak.

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of his body, he left immediately.

Naruto was left alone standing there, staring blankly at the direction where Menma left. He seemed to be in a trance at that moment.
