Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 609 Statues
"I've heard of Konoha's Hokage Rock, but that's not what I'm talking about now."

The Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes slightly and shook his head slowly. Then, as if he was recalling something, his expression vaguely showed a hint of thought. Before Lei Luo could continue to ask questions, he continued on his own:

"It's a silver-gray statue. It's carved with you standing up. Some of its material is like marble, and some of it is like some unknown metal. Its length, width and height are about ten times larger than your own. look."

"That statue was placed at the top of a building with a very peculiar style of construction. At first glance, it looks at least a hundred meters above the ground, like a sword piercing into the sky."

"Statues, heights, clouds..."

After silently reading these key words spoken by the Great Toad Immortal several times, Lei Luo didn't understand, so he asked directly:
"What does that mean? In other words, is it some kind of metaphor? Something that's actually going to happen? Am I going to build a giant statue of myself in the future? Am I so narcissistic?"

"Or is this statue made for me by someone else, and then placed on the top of a towering building? What is the purpose? To flatter me? To pay homage to me? Will I still die in the future?"

Perhaps because he heard the last question that Lei Luo inadvertently asked, and some connotations revealed in it, the Great Toad Immortal gave Lei Luo a meaningful look.

It didn't answer immediately, but raised the frog's paw unhurriedly, signaling the young man below to be calm, and then slowly said after more than ten seconds:
"I saw more than just this statue, but I thought it should be the most important, so I said it first."

Lei Luo frowned: "The most important thing?"

"yes……"

Speaking of this, a trace of exhaustion suddenly flashed across the face of the Great Toad Immortal, as if thinking of something unhappy, its tone was slightly lowered:
"For the past few years, I've seen a weird future, really weird, because the future, it's not as fixed as it used to be, it's... always changing."

"Variety?"

"Yes, it is change."

The Great Toad Immortal took a deep breath, as if to relieve the depression in his heart. While touching the Buddhist beads hanging on his chest, he leaned back and sat on the seat in a relaxed manner, explaining:
"War, or peace, or prosperity, or decline, or survival, or destruction... The future of the ninja world seems to have become very uncertain."

"Every time I dream, the scenes I see are different. If I simply describe it, I have sweet dreams occasionally, and nightmares occasionally."

The big toad fairy became more and more mysterious. Lei Luo said that he couldn't understand the thinking of the magic stick, and immediately asked with a frown: "Can you be more specific? I mean, um, a specific picture?"

"Specifically..."

"Sometimes, human beings will start to kill each other inexplicably, and the world will fall into a raging war. It is a war that is far more tragic than the Ninja World War. No, it cannot be called a war..."

Looking at the pensive frog face of the Great Toad Immortal, Lei Luo thought for a while, and then searched for a word in a tentative tone: "Riot? Chaos?"

"Yes, chaos can also be called disorder. Everyone, including ordinary people and ninjas, nobles and civilians, kill each other regardless of the occasion or region, as if insane, and there will never be a moment of rest."

"It's just... like hell."

Perhaps the scene in the nightmare was so terrifying that it left a lot of psychological shadows on Immortal Toad. It seemed unwilling to continue describing it, but changed the topic:
"Sometimes, peace really comes to the ninja world. The ninjas get rid of their fate for thousands of years, and no longer fight over trivial matters. Human society becomes prosperous and stable."

"This should be considered a sweet dream, because I really didn't even see a dispute, a fight, or a killing scene in this dream. Everyone was enjoying themselves, as if the era of mutual understanding between people has finally arrived .”

Speaking of this, the Great Toad Immortal smiled at Lei Luo, the smile was gentle and sincere, as if this beautiful dream was what it had always been yearning for.

The so-called utopia...

Lei Luo stared at the Great Toad Immortal thoughtfully, and kept thinking about the scene the other party depicted in his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt incomprehensible:
Do people understand each other?how can that be?He, Lei Luo, is not a three-year-old kid, not some shit idealist, he is fundamentally different from a guy like Jiraiya.

In Lei Luo's view, as long as human beings exist, there will never be an end to conflicts and conflicts, and this does not depend on anyone's will.

The history of mankind is a history of war. There is no need to deny, justify, or reject, because this is the nature of human beings. Lei Luo has always followed his own nature to come to today.

Even if one day in the future, the world truly enters an era of peace, Lei Luo still does not believe that there will be no conflicts or differences between people.

Quarrels, riots, bloodshed, crimes, fights... Even in a peaceful society, this phenomenon is not uncommon. The big toad fairy is either talking nonsense, or its prophecy has gone wrong.

The expression on his face somewhat betrayed the thoughts in his heart. The Great Toad Immortal glanced at Lei Luo calmly. Seeing the suspicious look flashing across his face, it didn't explain anything, and then began to describe another Dream.

Or rather, other dreams.

"Occasionally, several suns will rise on the earth, and the dazzling firelight accompanied by scalding heat waves will turn the whole world into ashes."

"Occasionally, all countries and all regions are shrouded in icy winter, and the ice and frost cover the oceans, mountains and rivers, as if there is no end in sight."

"Occasionally, a ray of light will suddenly fly from the sky, and then the mountains and rivers will reverse, the volcano will erupt, the earth's crust will collapse, and waves of tsunamis will rush to the world, destroying all living human beings."

Taking a peek at Lei Luo, he found that the black-haired young man had no fluctuations in his expression, as if he didn't care about the future world at all. Immortal Toad couldn't help but asked in surprise:

"Are not you afraid?"

He raised his head flatly and stared at the Great Toad Immortal for a moment, Lei Luo raised his arm, touched his chin, and replied casually: "It's very interesting, you continue to talk, I'm listening."

Lei Luo's performance at the moment is almost like "not believing", "You are scaremongering", "You are kidding me" and other words written on his face, but after all, he did not speak out to express his views.

After all, the Great Toad Immortal is related to his cultivation in Immortal Mode, Lei Luo has to give the other party some face, not to mention that if he scolds directly, wouldn't it appear that he is very uneducated?

He, Lei Luo, has always considered himself a quality person.

Especially, in the face of resources at your fingertips.
