I sell sweets in Konoha

Tangia is one of the delicacies of the Berber people who are mainly nomadic traders, and this people who are mainly nomadic traders are unlikely to have any very exquisite tableware after chasing water plants or traveling for trade. In North Africa and Eastern Europe During the different journeys between Central Asia, they also continued to absorb the food culture of peoples from various regions, different civilizations, and different beliefs.

It may not be elegant to start with directly, but it is indeed one of the most common eating methods of some nomadic people.

Now also for Indra.

Naturally, it is impossible to get started with Tangjia when it is freshly baked, but it is just right to prevent it from being hot for a while.Big chunks of red meat, big chunks of vegetables, big chunks of bread and big soups, this large and coarse style made Indra feel a different kind of relaxation.

At this moment, he could let go of all his defenses, all his rules, all his obsessions and fantasies, and return himself to his most primitive state, etiquette?attitude?Quality?

Throw everything aside and start cooking!

The large pieces of red meat have become soft after five hours of stewing and roasting, and the flavor of every seasoning is almost immersed in it. The meat is soft but not rotten, oily but not greasy in the mouth, chewy but not wasteful. Teeth, this is a taste between stew and roast.

It has the soft and delicate taste of stewed meat but also has the tough and elastic characteristics of barbecue.

This is a different kind of feeling that is slightly contradictory but unified, and its subtlety makes people want to stop.

The long baguette is definitely one of the perfect matches for this dish. Of course, it doesn’t have to be a baguette. If the Berbers made it themselves, they would probably choose another kind, roll it very thin, and bake it together. Pancakes baked on hot stones.But it’s not entirely true if you say it’s a noodle pancake. This kind of noodle pancake can be cut into long strips like noodles and spread on top, which is also a perfect match.

All in all, pasta is absolutely indispensable as one of the staple foods in this dish.

Tear the bread into small pieces and smear it with the soup. The rich aroma of wheat mixed with Tangjia's soup is like roasting but not roasting, and stewing but not stewing. It is absolutely addictive.The pasta will neutralize the fat in the soup, and the fat in the soup will make the bread smooth and refreshing. When you put it into your mouth, the taste will spread in your mouth instantly.

What a treat!

Enjoyment, I have realized that eating can be so comforting. Indra, who has so many delicacies besides rice, is deeply immersed in it and cannot extricate himself. There may also be something to do it by yourself. A lot of hard work goes into it.

When the food was finished and there wasn't much bread, he carefully wiped the plate with bread and then ate it in one bite.

After finishing the last bite, I still felt a little unsatisfied. Seeing that there seemed to be a little bit of soup left on the plate, I picked it up without hesitation and licked it clean.

This operation stunned Tomoko.

"Is this... the ancestor of Uchiha so embarrassed?" Tomoko asked Junko next to her in a low voice.

"Actually, both Madara and Hashirama can lick plates." Junko, who had already seen it, said without any emotion, "I don't have to wash it after licking it, so there's no need to make a fuss."

There is no need to be surprised at all, isn’t this normal operation?For this era, many seasonings have not appeared, and the way of eating is also very simple. Even some foods that seemed to be equivalent to black technology in her era are first-class delicacies in this era.

Junko could completely understand the impact of such a lot of condiments on Indra.

"Is there any more?" Indra continued to ask as if he still hadn't had enough.

"If you don't mind eating Sena-sama's portion as well." Junko said without mind at all, "Anyway, it's up to you to explain it yourself in the end, and we won't say anything for you."

Ah...this? !

Indra looked at the last remaining portion and thought about his wife.

"Can it be kept secret?" he asked after struggling.

"If your wife thinks you haven't eaten anything." Junko said with a smile: "You have been training outside all day, you are tired and tired, and you must want a good meal, so I have prepared a lot of sumptuous dishes for you... Well, at least it’s a sumptuous meal for this era.”

"As long as you can guarantee it, praise and eat at the same time, and even lick the bowl clean like you are doing now."

"We will definitely." Junko said with certainty, "I'll keep it a secret for you."

But most likely you can't.

"Okay." After hesitating again and again, Indra finally defeated his desire with reason. After all, he was no longer hungry and there was no need to compete with his mother...wife for food.

"Let's talk." Indra took his attention away from the remaining vegetables and bread that he was going to bring back to his wife and said, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

"That one you are referring to?" Junko asked pretending to be stupid.

"People don't need more love than charity." Indra repeated: "Are you blaming me? As my descendants, is this how you evaluate me?"

What happened in the past, being betrayed by the Ninja people and not being recognized, this was definitely Indra's heartache, and he almost didn't want to hear anyone mention it.

"If you are not willing to listen." Junko did not answer directly but said: "Then forget it, we don't want to talk to you about these things that have happened, and to worry about whether it is right or wrong."

Indra's expression is a bit strange. It's not an exaggeration to say it's distorted, right?He didn't like others to talk about this matter, but it happened that it was his descendants who talked about it.If he were a person of this era, if he accused him of being wrong, he would probably have him praised on the spot, but these two...

Not quite.

And to a certain extent, he also wants to hear what people in the future think of him.

"Go ahead." Indra said, "I would like to hear what you descendants think of my ancestor."

"Extreme love and extreme hate, people whose dreams were shattered by reality but regained their goals." Junko thought for a moment and concluded.If we use the official evaluation as 'Excellent and aloof, the God of War who initiates eternal wars', this is not appropriate.

Because Indra is outstanding but not actually arrogant. He is a person who loves others deeply, but his love is not simply poured into a certain person. He hopes for peace more than anyone else. .An arrogant person will not care about others, an arrogant person will not be angry because of other people's evaluation, and an arrogant person will not change because of others' incomprehension or a little instigation.Therefore, he is a person full of love in his heart. He desires to be recognized more than anyone else, and he desires to be loved more than any other person.

The evaluation of provoking an eternal war is even more inappropriate. War is one of the eternal melodies of human society, and the start and stop of war essentially have nothing to do with love.

Love can't stop war, but the strength of a super can bring peace for a period of time.

It's just...

"God is not that easy to be a god." Junko added: "Because God has to be aloof, God has to be moody, God does not necessarily have to respond to requests, and it is best for God to stay away from the human world. If a God falls into the human world, then he is just a person with extraordinary abilities. It’s just a person of ability.”

"And the relationship between people is more of a cooperative and win-win relationship, Lord Indra? Are you happy because you protect other people, help other people, etc.?"

Junko asked and answered her question: "Of course not, you didn't realize it yourself. You are happy because you have received recognition and gratitude from others. When people no longer recognize your dedication and protection, if you don't have any ideas, .”

"The current Ninja Sect will not appear either."

"As for people," Junko added, "it's best to have a partner who can trust, learn from each other, and grow together. And a god who can see things from above and take care of everything at the same time. .”

"It's easy to get resented."

Chapter 115 Human Declaration

Indra left without leaving a word.

"By the way..." Tomoko said a little worriedly, "Is it okay for you to say that?"

"Even if you are just pretending, are you overdoing it?"

"Pretend..." Junko said with a slight displeasure: "What do you mean by pretending? I am really trying to persuade Indra, even though I am so earnest in my words. If he has some problems that he is not aware of, , then this new ninja will be the future Uchiha."

"Sooner or later, he will be tortured by himself."

"What do you mean?" Tomoko asked in confusion: "I remember everything was Hei Zetsu's conspiracy. How come he couldn't do it on his own?"

"I feel that Black Zetsu is really the best scapegoat in the ninja world." Junko complained: "As long as there is something that cannot be explained, Black Zetsu will take the blame."

"Although Hei Zetsu indeed instigated the relationship between Indra and the Ninja Sect." Junko explained: "But based on the facts, if Indra himself had no problems, he would not have been instigated by Hei Zetsu. And it is accurate. Let me say that Indra's betrayal of the Ninja Sect is not a single problem, but a concentrated expression of multiple problems. Throughout history, many such things have happened. You can understand these as the problems of ancient throne succession. If it cannot be dealt with The issue of succession to the throne, at least, can lead to bloodshed within the palace and among high-ranking officials if the party is in conflict with each other."

"In severe cases, fighting with each other will directly lead to the division and civil war of a country." Junzi said: "In fact, what happened to the Immortal of Six Paths is the standard method of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones to create chaos."

"Do you remember what the characteristics of Asura are?"

"Oh~ I remember, Cranetail." Tomoko said directly: "Asura and his reincarnation are similar, a late-stage player like a goose."

"That's right~" Junko spread his hands and said: "On one side is the elder brother who is powerful and ambitious and wants to inherit the throne, and on the other side is the younger brother who is less talented, weak and not very capable. The result is that the stronger side If you lose the election and the weaker party takes over, doesn't it mean that you are going to fight a civil war?"

The Six Paths Immortal had done this thing, which has been a difficult operation since ancient times. As for Hei Zetsu's instigation, it was just an external cause.

It can't even be regarded as an external cause, because even without Hei Ze's instigation, Indra might not have been able to achieve enlightenment on his own and put aside his ambition to assist his younger brother.

Isn't this a joke?Without correct guidance and correct persuasion, it would be simply too difficult for Indra to achieve enlightenment by himself. This is something that there is almost no possibility of him attaining enlightenment on his own!

She didn't know much about the history, but she could probably understand it after watching a lot of palace fighting dramas.

"Then why do you think he will make the new ninja sect jump? I think Indra has a high prestige in the ninja sect." Tomoko asked again.

"It's very simple." Junko added: "Indra wants to be a god like his father, not a person like his father. And the political entity established by such a person is not stable."

"Strongman politics?" Tomoko asked based on what she understood.

"I think it should be called demigod." Junko felt that it should be more accurate to say: "Let's put it this way, Indra absorbed some of the reasons for previous failures but did not absorb them completely. His current position and mentality It’s a bit strange, I want to be a god like my father but I also know that I can’t become a god like my father because of my failure.”

"And the reason why he has such a high prestige now is that he knows that it is not possible to be a high-level god and only he has great power, because he has already failed once. But now he teaches others to learn ninjutsu and helps them become stronger. It's definitely not a decision from God to human after painful experience." Junko explained: "He is still the same God, but out of the need for revenge, he needs these people to help him, so he teaches. Therefore, at this time, the relationship between him and Orochimaru The mentality is somewhat similar.”

"My kindness to the people in the Ninja Sect is not entirely out of sincerity, at least not for all of them, but because they are talented and can be cultivated as cannon fodder for my future revenge."

"But it's definitely different." Junko added: "Orochimaru is more of a naked use, but Indra is not. He also put in a lot of sincerity to treat these people as those who used to be Ninja sect. Treat those friends.”

"But he is also very afraid of what happened before. It was not that his father chose to make his younger brother the leader, but that few people in the entire Ninja Sect were willing to follow him. Almost all of them betrayed him and became his enemy."

"In general, these contradictions are definitely not visible now." Junko said a little worriedly: "The inevitable consequence of these contradictions is that the Ninja Sect lacks cohesion and centripetal force. It is still in the early stages of development and these contradictions are not obvious. , once it passes this initial stage, develops and grows, and the contradictions will gradually manifest when the population becomes large.”

"And such a Ninja Sect cannot accept failure, especially Indra's failure. Once he loses once, his prestige may be ruined, and the Ninja Sect will fall into turmoil and a precursor to division."

"I personally don't think that Indra, who has always maintained such a mentality, can face these challenges in the future." Junko spread his hands and said: "What's more, the person he faces is Asura, another giant of the Ninja Sect in this era. It is impossible to win every battle, and for a Ninja sect who cannot withstand failure, has a complicated leader's mentality, has an unharmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates, and lacks centripetal force and cohesion, there is no need to support Indra himself. Ascend to heaven, and after it grows strong, it will collapse on its own due to the conflict of interests between various factions.”

"Even if Indra uses his powerful strength to restrain the Ninja clan, once he dies, you can imagine the next plot with your toes."

Either there will be division, internal friction, and reunification, or there will be division, internal friction, and complete division.

Anyway, Junko feels that if Indra keeps such a strange mentality, the future of this ninja sect will be...

Hard to say.

"Then these three or two sentences are enough for you?" Tomoko asked.

"Of course not." Junko shook her head. She didn't think she had this ability.

It takes less than a day to freeze three feet. Being able to convince others with a few words is enough foreplay. It's time.

But I may not be able to do it myself, but there is a high probability that someone can.

"This is about it. To untie the bell, you need someone to tie it." Junko said, "Indra can really change his mentality. There is probably only one person who can get out of this entangled state."

"His brother Asura is the only one who can make him make a human declaration."

Chapter 116 Aha, how about going to find Asura?

"So you agree with Asura?" Tomoko asked curiously, "Do you agree with Asura's philosophy?"

"Love affects everything?"

"Love affects everything." Junko said angrily, "This is simply childish."

As someone who has received education in modern political ideology, has dabbled in relevant books, and was also a politically active figure in the past, the political ideas in Naruto are beyond childish.

Even the so-called Will of Fire is rubbish that is completely unnecessary to discuss.

This thing is not even comparable to a religious group. It has no clear core of belief, almost no theoretical basis, and no guidance for action and behavior. If such a thing were left in the previous life, almost the entire small opposition party in Fela could be crushed. Pressure stuff.

Junko almost looked down upon him.

but...

"Everything has its consequences." Junko changed the topic and said: "You can choose a general among the dwarfs. Asura's success cannot be said to be how good his ideals are, it is just that people at the same time are more rubbish. Compared with the feudal remnants of other groups in this period... ah, no, this era is a group with a strict feudal hierarchy. Asura's thoughts at least transcend this era and embody the freedom of our era and world. , democracy, and humanistic ideas of fraternity.”

"Although it's okay to still be naive, there's nothing you can do about it. The limitations of the times mean you can't expect him to understand everything at once."

People who stand in the world of future generations and have seen more social changes and beautiful human social pursuits and fantasies are qualified to criticize the superficial ideas of this era.

But at the same time, I don’t have much qualifications to criticize, because this is the germ of progressive thinking.

No idea or social progress in this world is achieved overnight and becomes mature in a flash.The mature party and theory have experienced countless baptisms of blood and fire, and have been slowly improved through the lives and social practices of countless ancestors.

"It can only be said that the general direction of Asura is correct." Junko explained: "At the same time, it can unite and stabilize a group that is not very large, but it will not work if it is put on an entire country. To put it simply, let go It works in a family because the conflicts and interests of a family are relatively clear and simple, but in a country where the conflicts and interests are complex, it will stop working quickly."

This is why the Ninja Sect under Asura's rule did not eventually evolve into a country but into a family, and even later evolved into two families.

The pattern is there, and there are inherent deficiencies and no latecomers to supplement and improve it. This leads to the fact that Asura's concept is more suitable for a smaller and simpler family rather than a larger and more complex country.

"Looks like my stupid brother isn't that good either."

I don't know when Indra suddenly jumped out and said: "You are always so childish."

"Huh?" Tomoko said a little surprised: "You haven't gone far, ancestor? Did you hear what I just said?"

I originally thought that Indra was stimulated by Junko's words and ran far away. The ancestor didn't seem to run very far. He probably just strolled around for a while and then returned. What he just said was probably too much. I was so confused.

"Select the general from among the dwarves." Junko spread his hands and said, "Asura is already the general."

"Then you mean I am a dwarf who cannot be pulled out?" Indra asked angrily.

"At least that's the case for now." Junko said without caring about Indra's emotions: "You are indeed the dwarf who can't be pulled out."

"Huh, you're so sure." Indra snorted coldly.

"If you are not convinced, you can go to the ninja sect currently led by Asura." Junko suggested in a normal way: "I just said, although Asura's ideas are not suitable for governing a country, if only Maintain it in a family or a small group similar to a family. His concept can still manage the family in a decent way."

"However, I don't think you have the courage to walk around or admit your shortcomings."

Many things require courage, especially when it comes to things that don't seem very big.Even these things require more courage and enough calmness and wisdom.

For example, if you deny yourself, 99% of people in this world do not have the courage to truly admit their mistakes.
