Chapter 285: City of the Gods

"Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be your name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth,

as walking in heaven.

Our daily diet,

Give it to us today.

Forgive us our sins,

as we have forgiven men's sins.

that we may not be tempted,

Deliver us from evil.

For all is yours in the kingdom and in the power and in the glory.

Forever.

Amen. ”

The sun shines through the sky like a warm thunderbolt, shining through the rolling dark clouds on the wet land, and the mottled skin of the high-rise buildings piled up by pipes reflects the blurry light.

"I've been hearing the news for a long time, but it's still shocking to see it." Kishiran admired, and where the beam of light shone, countless people's prayers rang out, "Nagato really did something terrible. ”

Tsunade and Shizune are also very shocking, and the light moves slowly, like a miracle.

"Stopped?" Silent was stunned, the beam of light shone on everyone, stopped moving, and countless people in the strangely shaped building poked their heads out and looked at the people of Anran who were shrouded in light.

Tsunade frowned dissatisfiedly, and Kishiran held Terumi in his hand, sensing a strange spiritual pressure approaching.

Another more brilliant light descended, a solemn bell echoed, and a yellow-haired man dressed in a robe appeared before everyone.

"Yahiko?" Anran raised his eyebrows, and the other party still had a black rod stuck in his body, but he had a warm smile on his face.

"Welcome, four generations of Mizukage, and Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas." Yahiko smiled, "Come with me." ”

Kishiran didn't refuse, and followed Yahiko into the tallest building, "What about Konan and Nagato?" ”

"Konan is on a mission, Nagato he ......" Yahiko paused, stretched out his hand to the sky, "He's there." ”

"It's so powerful, it's all heavenly." Anran sensed it carefully and nodded.

"To be honest, I'm a little scared of you," Yahiko blinked, "The legendary master of the Corpse Soul Realm, no matter what, I'm dead. ”

"Dead?" The silence was shocked.

"The Corpse Soul Realm is only in charge of making trouble," Anran explained, "but what is your situation?" ”

"After I died, Nagato kept my soul in good order, but the war wasn't over yet, so I didn't move." Yahiko's expression was unnatural for a moment, "After meeting Jiraiya-sensei, Nagato had a new idea, so he used reincarnation to resurrect me by nature, and he deserves to be Jiraiya-sensei, I don't know where I am higher than me." ”

"New ideas?" Tsunade had also heard about Jiraiya's wishes, "What's that?" ”

"Faith." Yahiko replied, "The root of the war is interests and hatred, and at the moment the issue of interests has been resolved by Mizukage's policies and Hokage's actions, and all that remains is hatred." ”

"The elimination of hatred requires mutual understanding between people, and this is also the idea of Mr. Jiraiya. But this is clearly impossible. Speaking of this, Yahiko sighed, looking a little lonely, "So I want people to sympathize with each other because of the pain, and after my death, Nagato has been working hard for it." But pain breeds new hatred, and it will cause a lot of casualties, and we cannot afford to consume lives like this in the face of the great enemy. ”

"So Nagato really became a god." Kishi looked up at the sky, looked through the dark clouds that have been dispersed all year round in the Land of Rain, and saw a huge stone ball floating in the air.

Earthburst Celestial Stars.

"Faith in God can transcend hatred and pain and bring people together." Yahiko had an excited look on his face, "When everyone has faith in their hearts, war will disappear completely. ”

——

Late at night, everyone rested under Nagato's arrangement, and in the dark night, Tsunade asked Kishiran, "Is it really possible that Yahiko said?" ”

Anran's fingertips escaped, the invisible barrier unfolded, and he reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt that was beautiful in the past, and Anran sneered, "Whimsical." ”

"I feel good...... "Mute is puzzled, "the land of rain is indeed peaceful." ”

"The purpose of unity is not just to eliminate war, but also for the future." Kishi explained, "The so-called development and progress is to constantly challenge the authority of the gods, once there is awe in the heart, how can you dare to challenge the gods, dare not challenge the gods, let alone development." ”

"So...... The existence of the gods directly locked the progress of the Land of Rain. Tsunade quickly understood.

"'Give us this day our daily bread. Forgiveness of our sins is as forgiveness of the sins of men. He will not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For all is yours the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Repeating the prayer of the believer, "Everything is God's, and God will give everything you want, so what else is there to work hard for, and what is there to strive for?" ”

"Unless the gods become tools and excuses for some people." Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew it.

"Huh?" Mute listened even more confused.

This is very normal, although the three people act together, their visions are completely different.

Mute represents the majority of ordinary ninjas, and what they see is the peace that faith brings to ordinary ninjas.

From her point of view, it doesn't matter what she believes in, it's good that ninjas can survive in peacetime through their own efforts and live in peace and contentment.

Tsunade represents the upper echelons of the family, and as the village of the original Hokage, she has personally experienced the decline and even extinction of the powerful Senju clan.

In her opinion, the so-called faith is nothing more than another form of family, and in some way, even more terrible than family.

It is the talent that restricts the development of the family, and it must be the talent with blood ties.

In the ninja world, where bloodline is paramount, having bloodline and not bloodline are completely two concepts.

What does the family depend on? Strength and fertility, not only to marry early and have children, but also to have more eugenics, no matter how you fight within the family, as long as the bloodline can continue, it is enough.

In this process, you must not rely on outsiders, and the family that has become strong without blood ties will slowly become a vassal of outsiders, which the family must not bear.

On the other hand, if the family is wary of outsiders, outsiders will not do their best for the family, play with their lives, and enjoy it to others, who would be willing.

But beliefs are different, as long as you believe in the gods, everyone is a family.

Faith has a similar composition to a family, but it has a capacity to expand far beyond that of a family.

The center of the family is the bloodline, and if you don't marry a wife of the family, or get into the family, it is impossible to enter the core of the family. And the center of faith is the will of man, as long as you believe that you are one of us.

As for true belief or false faith......

Tsunade felt like no one cared at all.
