Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 132 Naruto, he is like a sun

"Naruto, maybe things are not as simple as you think,"

Orochimaru's face showed no joy or sadness, but he was sweating profusely.

"To you, these are just two heroes of Konoha, but to Tsunade, they are her everything."

The opposing debater put in some effort.

“How many people in this world can be completely indifferent?”

"If sacrificing two living creatures could revive your loved ones, Naruto, perhaps you would choose to do so."

There is some truth to this. Humans are selfish creatures, and concepts like justice are too abstract for them.

But love is very concrete, visible and tangible.

In the original novel, Shizune's original words at this time were "Your brother and uncle would definitely not want you to be like this!", but Tsunade was still shaken.

It means this is useful to her.

"Tsunade..." Jiraiya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Naruto's eyes, which meant: Let me try again.

Naruto: "He has a point, but after resurrection perhaps all your good memories will be completely shattered."

"You went against their wishes, and after resurrection you will only argue with them and add to their suffering."

"Or let's put it bluntly: you'll only feel good at the moment of resurrection, but after that, you'll just be faced with a mess."

"Enough, Naruto!" At this time, Tsunade suddenly interrupted Naruto, making the latter's heart sink.

Although this does not mean that she agrees with Orochimaru, it also shows that she is unwilling to accept Naruto's unpleasant advice.

She knew that intellectually Naruto was right, but it would still be too cruel for Tsunade to just give up.

Sasuke frowned, and he whispered to Sakura from behind: "Why don't we just attack Orochimaru directly?"

Sakura said nothing, just shook her head.

Tsunade's attitude is crucial, but she is not in a position to explain the reason in detail to Sasuke.

While Tsunade was hesitating, Orochimaru did another thing.

He bit his finger, and blood began to drip slowly. Everyone saw Tsunade trembling all over, her pupils shrinking slightly, her feet turning pigeon-toed, her hands subconsciously clutching the necklace in front of her, and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Naruto looked at Tsunade and felt a little touched.

He studied psychology, and Tsunade's micro-expressions and body language were sending a strong signal: she had been living in great pain for a long time, and this pain could not be soothed by a few words.

How could a grandmother-in-law, who is over fifty and whose memories of her life after the war are all painful or numb, let it go easily?

So she used gambling as a way to numb herself, just like love-deprived European and American high school students choose to take drugs.

The option of resurrecting a loved one is simple, but simplicity does not necessarily lead to happiness, but rather to a loveless future.

"Wait!" Naruto interrupted Orochimaru's spell again: "Orochimaru has finished speaking about his conditions, but you haven't heard what my bargaining chip is."

"My goal is the same as his, so you might as well shop around and hear my thoughts."

His tone was so resolute that Shizune couldn't help but look towards Naruto.

"Resurrecting a loved one essentially means making your life better. In that case, I have an alternative plan that will allow you to completely let go of your past."

After that, Naruto took out the wrapped memory fragments. Ordinary people couldn't tell what they were: "I can help you overcome your hemophobia and the shadow of your lover's departure, as long as you are willing to return to Konoha with me!"

"Resurrecting a loved one is one option, but letting go of obsessions and living a good life is also another option. And this option is better than the former!"

Naruto's emotions were so strong that everyone except Orochimaru Kabuto felt their hearts tremble, especially Shizune. At this moment, her impression of the boy changed drastically.

She initially thought Naruto was disdainful of the master he served.

But later on he insisted on the bet and has not given in even a little bit until now, essentially trying to get Tsunade's return.

This made Shizune both moved and surprised: When did such a person appear in Konoha?

But without thinking too much, Shizune turned to Naruto without hesitation: "Tsunade-sama, let's choose Naruto's plan! If these two knew about this, they would definitely hope that you can live a good life."

Jiraiya walked forward, took a look at the wrapped fragments, and said to Tsunade: "Although I don't know what this method is, Tsunade, listen to Naruto, this is the path you should take."

Sakura: "Tsunade-sama, for the sake of your lover's dream, let go of your obsession and live a good life."

Shizune: "Lady Tsunade!"

Sasuke looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt a little emotional.

He suddenly recalled what Naruto had done to him in the past. Although the specific circumstances were different, they had the same purpose.

Naruto has been saving the people around him, without seeking any benefit or consequences, and sparing no effort to pull the people around him back from the edge of the endless abyss.

Like a shining sun.

It's a pity that Pillar is a man. If it were an Uchiha girl of the same age, she would have been completely "captured" by Naruto by now.

At this moment, Naruto also felt that the original body was actively absorbing the positive emotions around it and becoming stronger.

Sasuke also walked up and said, "I don't know who you are, but I suggest you listen to Uzumaki Naruto for once. You won't regret it."

His cold tone immediately caught everyone's attention, and it was then that Orochimaru turned his gaze back to the pillar.

Orochimaru's mouth twitched. He remembered that he had given Sasuke a special gift.

So this is how the kid repays himself?

If he had a forum account, he would probably post on it: Does Naruto have to make things so difficult?

Just as Orochimaru was about to explode, he heard Tsunade, who had hesitated for a long time, slowly say: "Orochimaru... after I let me heal your hand, what are you going to do?"

"Continue to destroy Konoha?"

Everyone was silent. Naruto felt relieved when he heard this and remained silent as well.

It's stable. Orochimaru at this time was eager to destroy Konoha, so he expressed his thoughts bluntly in the original work.

This is also the fundamental reason why Tsunade broke the deal.

However, Orochimaru looked at everyone, then at Tsunade, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I have no interest in destroying Konoha right now."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and the one who frowned the most was undoubtedly Naruto.

He was a little confused.

That doesn't make sense... The plot has indeed undergone a lot of changes, but there haven't been many changes on your side, Orochimaru?

It's nothing more than launching the 'Konoha Collapse Plan' ahead of schedule, but the rest of the story will still roughly follow the original plot... In other words, they pay more attention to me, right?

Could it be that the debate I just had made him change his mind?

In fact, Orochimaru's idea is very simple.

Destroying Konoha does not mean running to Konoha and razing it to the ground.

He now had a better idea: Uzumaki Naruto.

This boy is first-rate in both character and ability, and he is also the chosen junior of Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he continues to develop in this way, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes Hokage.

In that case, why not just continue to fight for him?

As long as Uzumaki Naruto is won over, the future of Konoha will be gloomy, which is also a kind of indirect destruction.

Besides, Naruto's pressure made him unwilling to continue being honest.

Tsunade didn't respond to Orochimaru, but turned to Naruto: "You said you wanted me to return to Konoha, but after I go back everyone will force me to become the Fifth Hokage?"

Naruto also had sweat on his forehead.

He instinctively judged that this question was crucial, but the key was that this question did not appear in the original work.

He didn't know the correct answer and could only guess Tsunade's psychology.

Jiraiya saw this and was about to say something when Tsunade stopped him: "Jiraiya, I want to hear what this brat has to say."

Naruto was silent. Was he telling the truth or a euphemistic lie?

What psychological principles are involved here?

He subconsciously connected this situation with what he had learned, but he soon realized that doing so was too dogmatic and rigid.

Since we are trying to persuade Tsunade, we must use words that come from the heart.

Naruto said:

"Yes, I want you to succeed me as Hokage. Everything I said before was to cheer you up."

"I'm not asking you to return to Konoha to force you to take office. There's no need. You will be inspired by the Will of Fire yourself."

"Reform of medical policy, the ambition to stop the war...these dreams are waiting for you to pick them up."

"You are just trapped by your own inner demons, it doesn't mean that your ambitions have changed."

"Why don't you go back and try? Maybe those two in heaven would also like you to do the same."

The last sentence left Tsunade completely silent.

She stopped asking questions, but didn't give an answer for a while. Looking at the hesitant Tsunade, Orochimaru said simply, "Tsunade, think about it first. You don't have to reply to us on the spot."

He seemed to want to continue competing fairly with Naruto.

And Kabuto, after exchanging a glance with Orochimaru, added: "Please give us an answer here in one day."

After hearing this, Mingying's pupils shrank slightly.

This time is obviously shorter than the time in the original book. If I remember correctly, the original book should have taken a week.

But there was nothing to say, Jiraiya also expressed his opinion: "It's the same for us, Tsunade, you should think about it."

The final winner will be announced in one day.

The conditions given by Orochimaru were very clear, but by removing the unfavorable factor of [destroying Konoha], the persuasiveness was greatly enhanced.

Naruto's plan was very rational and intuitive, but it couldn't directly satisfy Tsunade's needs.

Naruto knew very well that perhaps he needed to give Tsunade a new opportunity to completely change her mind.

Either overcome your hemophobia on the spot or offer a better bargaining chip.

No matter what you do, it's going to be difficult.

……

The time comes at night.

Jiraiya found a restaurant and invited the three of them to eat and drink. This was the second time this situation had occurred.

Sasuke was busy eating, not affected by Tsunade, while the other three people ate less.

"Lewd Immortal, how likely do you think she is to agree to us tomorrow?"

Jiraiya turned around and saw that the usually confident Naruto had become a little hesitant.

"Who knows?"

Jiraiya took a sip and said lightly.

He obviously sees things more open-mindedly. As a toad sage who has more life experience than Naruto in all his past and present lives combined, he understands the principle of 'don't force what is not destined to happen'.
