The Suna ninjas surrendered in droves, and were then taken to Konoha's prison and tortured by Morino Hiki.
The massive amount of placer gold used by Rasa in this invasion was fully accepted by Konoha and used for post-war repairs and economic development. It won't be long before the village will have several more hospitals, post offices, large supermarkets and other infrastructure facilities.
After the Third Hokage counted the amount of sand gold, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if the Fourth Kazekage used these things to develop the economy of Sand Ninja Village, why bother using them to invade Konoha?"
Jiraiya curled his lips: "Teacher, you don't know how shabby the Wind Country is. Even if he digs ten times more mines, he can only guarantee temporary prosperity. As for Konoha's land and natural resources, But it can bring prosperity for generations to come.”
"That's right." The Third Hokage shook his head helplessly, seeming to be laughing at his own thoughts.
Not only the Suna Ninja Village, but every Ninja Village is greedy for the land of the Land of Fire. Every time Konoha is invaded, they are also very clear about the other party's purpose.
But, so what if you know?
It does not mean that you can coexist peacefully if you understand other people's thoughts.
Legend has it that in the distant ancient times, the Immortals of Six Paths once established an organization called the Ninja Sect. People relied on chakra to connect with each other and could clearly perceive each other's feelings.
It was an era when everyone could understand each other, but it finally collapsed, and soon after the collapse, it entered the chaotic Warring States Period.
Why?Because it’s not because I understand you that I can agree with you.
Your worry is what to eat today, and my worry is also what to eat today. The difference is that you are thinking about how to fill your stomach, and I am thinking about whether I should eat beef or mutton for my next meal, and whether it is time to lose weight.
As soon as our chakras are connected, well, we both know each other's pain, and it's time to draw our swords and chop each other.
I know your Suna Ninja Village is very poor, but what does this have to do with me, Konoha?
You invaded me. I can understand that you don't want to stay in the sandy land, but what if you understand?Will I stick out my neck and chop it for you?
Your Suna Ninja Village needs to be fed, but Konoha doesn’t need it?Although we have a lot of food, we are not rich enough to feed two countries. What will I do if you are full?
Therefore, although everyone knows many things well, ninja wars still happen again and again.
There are only two ways to prevent today's tragedy from happening again. One is to cut off a piece of meat from the Kingdom of Fire, and exchange the food of the Country of Wind for the food of the Country of Wind.Another way is to blow wind from the sky and suddenly turn the desert in the Kingdom of Wind into an oasis.This way they no longer have to fight over food.
Then you can start fighting over other issues.
Neither the Third Hokage nor Jiraiya had the ability to change this situation, because in the end, they were just humans, not gods.
All they can do is stand where they should be and protect the people they should and can protect.
At least for Konoha and the Country of Fire, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya are also heroes. They have protected Konoha and the Country of Fire many times in the ninja wars, allowing many ordinary people to live to this day and still have a full meal. meal.
"Speaking of which, where did Naruto's child go?" The Third Hokage began to care about Naruto. In his eyes, this child was the future of Konoha and the biggest treasure of Konoha so far.
"He was chatting with the Jinchuuriki of Sand Ninja Village in the torture room." Jiraiya said.
"Oh, it's Gaara's kid... We are both Jinchuuriki. They should have a lot to talk about." The Third Hokage imagined the scene of them communicating with each other.
"That's the theory, but...Naruto, that kid doesn't seem to know that he is a Jinchuuriki."
"Ah? Doesn't he know it yet?" The Third Hokage was suddenly confused: "But this shouldn't be the case. Didn't the Fourth Generation use his chakra to tell him the truth?"
From the perspective of the Third Hokage, Naruto obtained many ninjutsu and inheritance from the chakra left by the Fourth Hokage, and because of his own superior talent, he achieved his current achievements.
However, since the Fourth Hokage had already met him, why didn't he tell him about Kyuubi and his life experience?
Jiraiya scratched his head: "Maybe... the Yondaime wants him to live as an ordinary person? Forget it, I can't figure it out. Maybe the chakra left by the Yondaime is limited and only enough to teach It’s his ninjutsu.”
"Maybe the Yondaime has his own plans, or maybe Naruto already knows about it and just doesn't say it."
"It's possible. That kid gives me a particularly mature feeling. The city is very deep. Maybe he just pretends not to know and wants to get along with everyone as an ordinary person."
The two people's thoughts quickly changed and they began to speculate on Naruto's motives.
In the prison, Naruto unlocked the sealing technique that bound Gaara and handed him a chair. The two sat together and communicated face to face.
Gaara didn't have any thoughts of being violent. That day he turned his state to full and was casually humiliated by Naruto. Now that he was violent, he was just humiliating himself.
Naruto asked about Gaara's life experience, but Gaara's first words shocked him.
"What? Your dad is the Kazekage???"
Chapter 98 Sand Ninja Village can’t afford a psychiatrist
"Your father is the Kazekage, how can you be like this?" Naruto immediately felt incomprehensible.
Gaara is a one-tailed jinchuriki, and the Suna Ninja Village is notoriously bad at sealing, so their jinchuriki can't even sleep well, because once they sleep, the seal will loosen, and then the tailed beast will break the seal. And out of the possibility.
After knowing that Gaara was a One-Tail Jinchuuriki, Naruto could somewhat understand why he always seemed so irritable, especially in the morning.
This guy never got a good night's sleep, so he was naturally irritable.
The grievances accumulated by the social beast after staying up all night for a week are enough to use a grievance bomb. Gaara has not slept for more than ten years, and his grievances are probably reaching the sky.
Tragic, really miserable.
After hearing Naruto's question, Gaara gave him a very strange look: "Is there any connection between my father being the Kazekage and having a good life?"
"Huh?" Naruto felt even more incomprehensible.
"Your dad is Feng Ying, the most powerful person in the village. Even if he doesn't engage in any personal gain, his treatment is enough for you to live a happy life."
"Haha...if he wasn't the Kazekage, maybe I would be happy." Gaara sneered.
"What do you mean by that?"
"You won't understand. I have been treated as a monster by the people in the village since I was a child, and I have been alienated by them. I have never felt the love of my relatives..."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Naruto patted Gaara on the shoulder: "To be honest, I grew up like this too!"
"You?" Gaara looked at Naruto strangely.
This is wrong. People who grew up with this experience, not to mention being cynical, must at least be Sima-faced, right?
But Naruto bared his big teeth, smiled like a big treasure, and looked like a bright and cheerful boy. Has he ever suffered a brain injury?
"If you're going through the same thing as me, why don't you look sad at all?"
"I was sad, but that stage has passed. Because I got a partner later, I am no longer sad."
"Partner? Do you also have that kind of thing? I don't understand..."
Gaara said that when he was a child, he had no friends around him and was surrounded by people who wanted to kill him. Even his uncle Yashamaru, the only one who was good to him, came to assassinate him.
The assassination of his own uncle was a pain in Gaara's heart that could not be healed.He grew up in such a depressing environment, and the reason why he didn't go crazy at first was entirely because his uncle Yashamaru loved him.
Yashamaru guards him, preventing him from being harmed by people in the village, and preventing him from harming people in the village.
He also told Gaara that the sand that had been guarding him was transformed after the death of his sister, Gaara's biological mother.
Every time Gaara wanted to hurt himself because of pain, the sand would gently block him, preventing anything from hurting him.
Gaara was very happy to hear that it was his mother's love for him, and even his attitude toward others became much gentler.
However, that night, Gaara was assassinated again. When he used sand to kill the assassin and uncovered his mask, the face under the mask turned out to be that of his uncle Yashamaru.
"No, wait a minute, why would the villagers come to assassinate you as the son of Kazekage? Is your father dead? Oh, I'm sorry, this is right, I mean he shouldn't be dead at that time, right? ?”
"Because the person who assassinated me was sent by him." Gaara said through gritted teeth.
"Huh?" Naruto suddenly felt that his CPU was burning.
Who is Gaara?One-Tail Jinchūriki, the village's most important nuclear deterrent.
Who is his father?The Fourth Kazekage is the most powerful person in Sand Ninja Village.
Shouldn’t the most powerful person and the person with the strongest force guarantee work closely together and build a good relationship?
What's more, they are still father and son, so they should have this kind of affection, right?
The most powerful person in a village sends people to assassinate the most powerful person. What kind of thinking is this?
"I want to ask, what does your dad think?"
"It's just to test whether I can control Shukaku's power. If I can keep Shukaku from going berserk under the most extreme emotions, then I will be a qualified Jinchuuriki."
"Huh? No, it might be a bit rude to say this, but your dad is sick, right?"
Naruto thought, isn't this just like testing the compression limit of a piece of glass?The outcome of this kind of test can only be broken glass.
Gaara shook his head at this and said, "I don't know, Suna Ninja Village can't afford a psychiatrist."
Naruto was immediately stunned. How could the Sand Ninja Village be so chaotic?
No, can a person be so miserable even if his biological father is the shadow of a village?
At this time, Gaara turned around and asked Naruto: "You lived the same life as me when you were a child. Are you also a Jinchuuriki?"
"Me? Are you kidding? How is it possible? If I were a Jinchuriki, I would be 12 years old and still not feel the presence of tailed beasts?"
"That's true. I have been able to feel Shukaku's presence since I was a child." Gaara smiled mockingly to himself. "I heard that Konoha has the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails. It's a pity that I didn't get to see its jinchuriki this time. What a pity... Anyone who can be the nine-tailed jinchuriki must also be very strong."
"Don't think about it. The identity of the jinchuriki must be the top secret of a village. How could we possibly know it?" Naruto patted Gaara on the shoulder.
"You are right, not every village will be as crazy as our village."
Gaara still can't forget that night. His uncle personally overturned all the gentle words he said to him before, and told Gaara that his mother died with hatred for Suna Ninja Village and everyone. Doesn't love Gaara at all.And he came to assassinate Gaara because his sister died in childbirth due to his birth.
Those words directly caused Gaara to collapse completely, and also made him realize that he was completely alone in this world, no one loved him, and he was just an isolated monster in the world.
He carved the word "love" on his forehead with sand, vowing to only love and fight for himself from now on, and become a Shura who only loves himself.
After hearing about Gaara's tragic experience, Naruto expressed deep sympathy. Being born in such a place was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Sure enough, the popular saying in the five major countries that "people born in the Kingdom of Wind can only live a relatively failed life" is not without purpose.
"Uzumaki Naruto." Gaara suddenly raised his head and asked him.
"what happened?"
"What does it feel like to have a partner? I can't understand it."
Gaara looked at Naruto in confusion. He said that he got out of the abyss of pain with the help of his partners, but Gaara didn't understand, what was it like to have a partner?
He had never had a partner, so he didn't understand.
Naruto thought for a while, walked up to him and stretched out his hand: "If you don't have a partner to make you understand this feeling, then I will be your first partner!"
Chapter 99 Uchiha Itachi
"Partner?" Gaara looked at the hand that Naruto stretched out, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
No one had done this to him for a long time, like reaching out.
Everyone is afraid of him, afraid of him, afraid of being killed by him, so how dare they reach out to him?
Even his father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, probably wouldn't dare to be so close to him without any precautions, and would still reach out to him.
Gaara wanted to ask, "Aren't you afraid of me?", but when he turned around, he felt that his idea was too ridiculous.
He was brought here after being knocked down by Naruto with three punches and two kicks, Shukaku was beaten, and Naruto couldn't possibly be afraid of him.
He tremblingly stretched out his hand to Naruto, and their palms were clasped together.
Gaara instantly remembered when he was a child, when his uncle Yashamaru was still alive. At that time, Yashamaru was the only one who would stay close to him and hold his hand to play with him.
All kinds of thoughts came to his mind, countless sorrows could not be described. Gaara's vision was gradually blurred by tears. It was only at this moment that his longing for his uncle surged into his heart uncontrollably.
When important people have just left, people often have no feelings or even feel numb. This is even more true for Gaara, because he killed his uncle when he was assassinating him. In the following time, he only had endless hatred and hatred for his uncle. Puzzled.
Until today, Naruto held his hand, and the memories that had been buried in the softest part of his heart came out instantly. He suddenly remembered that in this terrible life of his, there had been a period of happiness. , there was once someone who made him feel gentle.
Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and Gaara murmured to himself with tears streaming down his face, as if he was asking himself, or as if he was questioning his uncle over there across the boundary between life and death.
"Why...why on earth did you do such an outrageous thing and say such outrageous words...I never thought of hurting you."
"Why on earth did you do that to me? I don't believe this is Uncle Yashamaru's original intention..."
Now that Yashamaru and Rasha are dead, the people who can answer this question are no longer in this world.
Naruto patted Gaara on the shoulder: "Don't be too troubled by this problem. Even if he really wants to kill you, the tenderness and kindness he once brought to you have definitely existed in your life. ”
He used his breath to carve a curved line on the floor, pointed at this line and said to Gaara: "Our life is just like this line. One end is where we come from, and the other end is where we are going. We can’t decide where to go, and we can’t decide where to go.”
"Only this middle section belongs to our freedom."
"You see, this period of twists and turns at the beginning is exactly the time when we can't choose, but until here, we are still far from the end."
"How we take the road ahead and who we want to be are our freedom."
"If you really long for friendship, love, and family affection, then pursue it with your own efforts. People can choose their own way out. There is nothing truly impossible in this world. You once thought you could not have friendship, but You see, our hands are held together now."
Gaara looked at the line carved by Naruto below and murmured: "Pursuing...what should I pursue?"
