Chapter 271: Attitude
"The era of ninjas is over. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as he returned to Konoha, Iruka was called by Tsunade and Jiraiya to the former Hokage's office, and now the "Konoha General Office Office", without any politeness of reunion after a long absence, Tsunade said directly to the point.
"More than three months ago, Sasuke suddenly launched a worldwide ninjutsu, forcibly depriving almost all ninjas of their power, Naruto Although they found the base camp of Sasuke's organization, but Naruto was defeated by Sasuke, life and death are unknown, and others can't resist Sasuke's power, and now they are still controlled by Sasuke, since then, no one in the ninja world can stop Sasuke's actions, and now, the five shadows, including me, as well as Jiraiya, these long-famous ninjas, have all completely lost their power and become ordinary people."
"Your student is really amazing, he actually directly subverted the ninja system in just one month."
After a pause, he continued sadly: "Thanks to him, strength is no longer the benchmark of personal value, and the sacrifice of ninjas is no longer needed to maintain the peace of the village, in other words, the era of peace that has been pursued for generations has finally come completely with the end of the ninja era. ”
"Yes."
Iruka lifted the teacup and took a sip, then just held the teacup and walked to the windowsill, staring at the obvious lack of people below, his face indifferent.
"The world's biggest problem has been solved, and it sounds like a cause for joy to do, but how can I not feel the slightest bit of joy in you two? Is it because you have a penchant for power? ”
Tsunade shook his head, denying Iruka's question, but instead of explaining, he pulled a file from his desk, opened it, and handed it to Iruka.
"You take a look at this first."
"What is this?"
Iruka took the file and glanced at it slightly, and the next moment, he was suddenly stunned, and as if he had expected his reaction, Tsunade sighed and said in a heavy tone:
"A list of Konoha ninjas who committed suicide last month."
Looking at the hundreds of names on the form, Iruka frowned, although it was full of unfamiliar names, it didn't mean that Iruka would be indifferent to it.
Zilai also sighed, and said with great regret:
"For some ninjas, chakra and ninjutsu are everything to them, the only reason to live, and if they can't use chakra and lose their qualification as ninjas, they are equivalent to losing the meaning of their existence, although Tsunade and I have long passed the age of pursuing those things, even if we lose our strength, we will only sigh a little, but they are different, they suddenly lose their dreams, and it becomes a matter of course for them to do stupid things in an extremely confused situation."
"Yes......"
Iruka put down the file, his face a little complicated.
"This is just one of the many problems of the era created by Sasuke Uchiha, and other problems such as the problem of the whereabouts and employment of the original ninja after the disintegration of the ninja village, the system of each country, the business system, etc., are becoming more and more serious, although Sasuke Uchiha can use absolute power to eliminate all darkness, but his power cannot be used to shorten the distance between people, each other's hearts, and let this status quo develop......"
Smack!
Iruka put the teacup on the windowsill, and before Tsunade could finish speaking, he interrupted: "There are two possibilities, one is that although the world does not have any darkness or any color, it will only sink in the increasingly blank material and spirit; The other is to overcome all difficulties, slowly heal the wounds with the passage of time, and finally usher in a new life, and no matter what the outcome, the world will completely enter into peace, the difference is only the form of peace. ”
Hearing this, Jiraiya nodded at the same time as Tsunade.
"Is that what you're focusing on cultivating Sasuke?"
"Sort of."
Iruka shrugged her shoulders and put the form back on her desk, her face relaxed again.
"The new era is full of uncertainty, even I don't know whether the era created by Sasuke is good or bad, and I don't even know if this is the final appearance of the era, the future is full of uncertainty, and I'm just an observer, although I'm in this world, I won't use my own will to affect the future of this world, I will only see it with my own eyes, so don't expect me to change the status quo, it's absolutely impossible, even if Sasuke's actions will make this world a mess, Even if he falls into the abyss of no return, I will not stop him. ”
Without waiting for Jiraiya to tell Tsunade the reason why he was in such a hurry to find himself, Iruka directly expressed his attitude, and after hearing his words, the two of them did not have the slightest surprise on their faces, but a "sure enough" expression.
"Isn't there room for negotiation?"
"Nope."
Iruka replied decisively, and continued: "I can't do anything to my students, this is the trust that the teacher should have in his students, and I believe that they will be able to complete the task I have entrusted to them perfectly, and at the end of the day, hand me a satisfactory answer." ”
Noticing that Iruka didn't just mention Sasuke, who had become the "protagonist" of this era, Jiraiya frowned.
"Are you still expecting Naruto? Although he is only missing now, he has not returned to the village yet, so I am afraid that he will ......"
"The results are not yet out, everything is still full of uncertainties, it is too early to draw conclusions, Naruto is a child who can often bring me "surprises", and I will always look forward to that child's activity until I am sure the dust has settled. ”
Leaving these words, Iruka left, he was not particularly familiar with Jirai, at least not to the extent that he would invite a guest for tea when he met him on the road, and he had no interest in Tsunade, an old woman in her fifties, so even if he didn't see them for a few months, he had nothing to talk to them about.
Unlike ordinary ninjas, even if Sasuke's jutsu that covers the entire world will always run automatically, Iruka will not be affected in the slightest, so when Iruka uses the teleportation technique to leave, absolutely no one in the whole world can stop him.
"Well, it seems that we can only wait quietly for the final result."
Jiraiya shook his head, looking helpless.
........................
After leaving the Konoha General Administration's office, Iruka did not rush back to the teacher's apartment, which had become deserted, but activated his ability and flew in the direction of the Land of Thunder.
With his current strength, in less than half a minute, he appeared in the sky above a certain mountain peak in the Land of Thunder, and the moment he appeared, the black-haired young man who was standing on the top of the peak, standing straight against the violent cold wind of the high mountain, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which had lost focus, gradually returned to his due radiance as a person.
"Iruka-sensei, you're here."
"Heh......"
Iruka was not surprised that Sasuke was able to sense his presence in an instant, it would be strange if he couldn't perceive him, and after chuckling, Iruka's figure flashed and appeared in front of Sasuke in an instant.
"Long time no see, Sasuke."
