Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Human Heart Is the Most Complex
Soon, the four generations confirmed the fact that the immortality of the tailed beast was indeed true.
At least after he searched for a while, he really found the Nine-Tails, but his appearance was a little miserable.
Inside the iron gate, Sakura stepped on the void, and her momentum gradually increased: "Very good, your strength is much stronger than Ichio." Unfortunately, your temperament is too short-tempered, which makes me feel that communication is too difficult. β
"Stop, stop, stop! The old man is convinced," Nine-Tails struggled back, and at the same time spoke loudly, "Human powerhouse, you can talk about anything." The old man is not as irritable as the guy who guards the crane, and he has always valued harmony. β
"That's it! It's a shame, no, it's great. β
Sakura has some regrets, she knew that she started with the weakening fist first, and as soon as she got started, it was an ordinary fist, and it seemed that the nine tails were scared.
This is really not a tailed beast, the tailed beast shouldn't be very iron-headed to continue to be strong, as long as it doesn't die, it has to continue to fight!
Could it be that this tailed beast is a fake?
However, her purpose was not originally to fight, so she didn't pity it for long, but talked directly about business: "Since you already have the intention of friendly exchanges, then let's start talking about it!" β
"Now I will talk about two things, one is about your freedom, and the other is about the safety of your tailed beasts. Come to think of it, there are really too few pure and kind people in the human race like me, but it's understandable that the ninja world is like this. β
The Nine-Tails opened the fox's mouth, and couldn't help but complain about the latter words, but asked: "What safety can we Tailed Beasts have, if there are no humans to disturb us, I don't know how comfortable life is." As for freedomΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The words of the Nine-Tails are from the bottom of their hearts, when they were teaching the Six Paths, their favorite thing was a fox sleeping lazily, and the degree of laziness ranked first among the nine tailed beasts.
However, because when it comes to chakra, the Nine-Tails has the most points, so even if it is the laziest, its strength is also the strongest one.
Before being found by humans, the Nine-Tails had been living quite comfortably.
It wasn't until it became a human pillar that it couldn't be happy anymore.
Mito is okay, but it's just a small black house, and when it's Kushina's turn, it's not just a small black house.
In short, the past is unbearable, and it always makes the fox sad.
For this reason, the Nine-Tails are always wary of humans, and just now Sakura found an excuse to beat it up, making the Nine-Tails very suspicious of Sakura's intention to let it out.
Regarding the distrust of the Nine-Tails, Sakura just said lightly: "Do you think, an existence that can press you to the ground and rub it, except for the brain disease, who cares about your strength." β
No, there really are people who are so sick in the brain.
Although he thought so in his heart, Nine-Tails didn't answer, but just said, "Then you go on, I'll listen." The old man wanted to know what would affect the old man's safety. β
Tailed beasts are essentially chakra aggregates, and even the first generation only pressed them to the ground and rubbed them, but could not kill them.
Although, just now because he couldn't beat Sakura, he chose to do it from his heart, but Nine-Tails didn't feel that Sakura's ordinary fist could kill them.
Unless the chakras that keep them alive are absorbed, there can be no danger.
"Let's go see Naruto first, after all, he is your host now, and if you want to set you free, you must always meet the tenant and the landlord." Sakura said, walking towards the iron gate and waving to Naruto outside.
Seeing this, Naruto pulled the somewhat sluggish four generations and said, "Let's go in, father, now that Sakura has communicated with the Nine-Tails, its mood is still relatively stable." β
The four generations had nothing to say about this for a while.
However, no matter what the process is, the Nine-Tails are temporarily stable, and the four generations will follow Naruto to meet the Nine-Tails. He also wanted to know if his child could really reconcile with the Nine-Tails.
In the past, the Tailed Beast has always been preached as an evil being, so humans can use the power of the Tailed Beast without guilt.
After all, tailed beasts are "evil"! Therefore, the suppression of the tailed beast is an act of "justice".
It's just that when they need to reconcile with the Tailed Beast, these resentments are not easy to resolve. How to express one's stance in order to resolve the endless resentment?
When the Nine-Tails saw the four generations, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart broke out again: "The four generations of Hokage, you are not dead yet. Hmph, are you here to see the old man's jokes? β
Although he roared angrily, Nine-Tails endured it again and again, but he really couldn't hold back and didn't make a move.
"Nine-Tails, is that your name?" But it was Naruto who came to the front of the tailed beast at this time, looking up at the mountain-like body, "First meeting." Hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. β
"I can feel your resentment, your anger, and your yearning for freedom." Naruto said sincerely, "I've experienced painful times, and I think you've been miserable these years. β
When Naruto was communicating with the Nine-Tails, the four generations who were originally a little embarrassed on the side gradually burst into tears. Naruto doesn't seem to have some resentment when he talks about his past, but it's more uncomfortable than resentment.
Why, such a good child, would suffer such misfortune at an early age.
The Nine-Tails don't care about the situation of the four generations for the time being, after all, the more they look at it, the more angry they become, but if they do it now, it will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Listening to Naruto's words, the Nine-Tails felt a little touched in his heart, but it was still very vigilant: "So, do you mean to set me free?" Even if you don't talk about that power, just say that after the tailed beast is extracted, the human pillar force dies, how do you solve it? β
Although the words are still cold, if you taste it carefully, you can know that the Nine-Tails is a little moved.
It's not that it doesn't want to be free, it's just that it can't, and it suspects that humanity doesn't want to.
"I'll try, will you try to trust me once?" Naruto looked at the Nine-Tails and said slowly, "Although, I can't safely separate you right now, but as long as it takes time, I'll do my best." Would you like to trust us once before that? β
Listening to Naruto's words, the Nine-Tails pondered.
As an intelligent creature, the Nine-Tails is also capable of thinking, but most of the time it does not need to and does not want to think.
Reason with humans, won't humans make it?
Or maybe think about it and don't have to do it?
No, it won't.
Now one is that Naruto's side is really talking to it, and the other is that it really can't beat Sakura. And the desire for freedom made Nine-Tails can't help but think in his heart, maybe this time it's not a scam.
When Naruto and the Nine-Tails were talking, Sakura looked at the four generations and hesitated, "The four generations of Hokage-sama, is it because you stay here that the Nine-Tails don't trust us much. β
"Is that so? However, the power of the Nine-Tails is indeed very strong. The fourth generation hesitated to speak.
And if the four generations don't speak, as soon as they speak, they perfectly destroy the results of their son's mouth just now.
Nine-Tails glared angrily: "Sure enough, you have no sincerity at all. β
"Take it easy, let's sort out the cause and effect first. Let's start with the beginning! Sakura spoke gently, allowing the Nine-Tails to regain her composure, "The legend is that the world's usual legend is that the Tailed Beast is evil, so I want to know what the Tailed Beast did at the beginning of the timeline?" β
"Of course it's sleeping, no, it's practicing alone in the deep mountains and old forests." Nine-Tails said and quickly changed his words, and then said angrily, "If it weren't for the human coming, who would be idle and go to the human world." β
"But the first generation of people was brought because the tailed beast was too powerful, so they divided the tailed beast to maintain peace." The four generations argued, "Although the Tailed Beast is not very strong compared to an existence like you. But for a normal ninja, the power of the tailed beast is indeed too strong? β
However, after this was justified, the four generations thought about it themselves and felt that something was wrong.
"Well, I see."
Sakura nodded: "Because the tailed beast is too strong, he grabbed the seal and tried to control this power, even if he hurt others and himself, he never reflected on himself, but defined the tailed beast as evil?" β
"Or is it because the first generation is the Hokage-sama of Konoha Hidden Village, everything he decided is right?"
Under the silent gaze of the four generations, Sakura calmly stated the history of the village since its founding: "Since the establishment of the pattern of five villages and five kingdoms, a total of three ninja wars have broken out, and the number of deaths is far greater than that of the Warring States period. As for the civilians, let's not talk about it, maybe in the eyes of the upper ninjas, the lives of civilians are not fatalized at all, right? β
"Well, let's not talk about the pros and cons of the five-village five-state system for the time being. Let's talk about the treatment of tailed beasts, has the practice of human pillar force solved the problem of tailed beasts? It wasn't solved, and as a container to bear the tailed beast, so the malicious person pillar force, got the treatment it deserved? Nor did it. β
After a few questions and answers, Sakura calmly stated, "For the errors that have been verified. What we have to do is not to avoid it or even deny it, but to face it and solve it. β
When the words fell, Sakura temporarily stopped, waiting for the fourth generation to answer, but he was silent for a long time before sighing: "Maybe, I'm dead after all, so I won't care about these things." And Naruto, I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you. β
Naruto just emphasized, "Not really, father. You've given me enough, it's not you're at fault, you're just looking at something wrong. I've never held a grudge, and I even like this Konoha a lot now, and I hope it gets better. β
Hopefully, it will be able to transform and be reborn.
Without going too deep, Naruto nodded to Sakura, then stretched out his palm and said, "Nine-Tails, you should have the ability to sense good and evil!" Trust me once, how? β
"Now, add me one."
Sakura also stretched out her palm, with a gentle smile on her face.
Her words just now still made Nine-Tails feel more comfortable, and even felt that this time she should be able to believe it, but she was still a little panicked in her heart.
Simply closing its eyes and opening them again, the Nine-Tails stretched out its claws, and then it felt a vast and endless spiritual energy like a great sun, and as cold and indifferent as moonlight.
However, it can be confirmed that these two are indeed not malicious.
At this time, Nine-Tails' somewhat apprehensive heart relaxed a little.
Come to think of it, they really didn't lie to it just now, they just had a good conversation, why did they have to do it first? Obviously, it's much calmer than Ichio, and it's not irritable at all.
Retracting his claws, Nine-Tails had a complicated expression: "You are indeed different from others. Humans are complex creatures, with all kinds of minds and some very pure people. β
"Anyway, we're starting to communicate amicably, which is a step forward."
Sakura smiled and said, "For the next few years, you help Naruto. Naruto, on the other hand, is trying to make you free in the shortest possible time. This will not be a relationship between a human pillar force and a tailed beast, but an equal, friend relationship. β
Naruto also bowed his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to set you free now, it's just that I can't do it for the time being." I don't think that without the strength of the Tailed Beast, I won't be able to grow to the top in the future. β
There was a sparkle in his eyes, a conviction of his own wisdom.
After watching them communicate amicably with the Nine-Tails, the four generations stroked Naruto's blonde hair and sighed, "Naruto, you've grown up. Unfortunately, there is not much time left in this chakra, and I will not be able to see you again. β
"But I believe that with such a friend, you will be able to go further and further in the future."
In this way, before dissipating, the four generations, as an ordinary father, made their final goodbyes.
As for the matter of the Nine Tails, with the current five generations of people under their care, there is no need for him to bother with a dead person, and the attitude towards the past policies and the high-level leaders in the village really chilled Watergate's heart.
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Is it really okay to face the Nine-Tails like this?" Jiraiya asked with some concern.
Although he knew that Sakura's physical skills were a little invincible, in the world of consciousness, it was not necessarily related to physical skills. And judging from past experiences, Sakura never seems to have revealed her level of illusion.
To this, Sasuke replied with certainty: "Don't worry, Sakura will definitely be fine if Sakura goes in." Sakura's strength is actually a strength without flaws. β
Well, in Sasuke's heart, Sakura has gradually deified.
After all, no matter how strong he was in the past, every time he went to challenge, he was defeated by one move.
After graduating, he experienced some transformation, and when Sasuke felt that he should at least be qualified to see the true power, he realized that he was still far behind.
On the one hand, he remained humble, and it was rare that he did not have the arrogance characteristic of the Uchiha clan. On the other hand, Sasuke also admires Sakura's existence very much.
As long as it's Sakura's words, most of them should have deep meanings.,It doesn't matter if you can't understand it for the time being.,After writing it down, the brain can make up some profound truths.γ
"Perhaps!" Jiraiya said, continue to wait.
After a long time, when they were a little worried, Sakura and Naruto both opened their eyes.
Then Jiraiya hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, have you talked about it?" β
Kakashi also said, "If you really can't do it, don't force it." β
"It's settled." Naruto smiled back with a reassuring smile, then thought of something and asked Sakura, "By the way, Sakura-chan, what exactly are you talking about the crisis of the Tailed Beast?" β
"Well, this point, Jiraiya's predecessors should also know!" Sakura replied without making it clear.
Although she can destroy the organization by herself now, this is not necessary, and it will affect some changes in the future.
Without external dangers, it is easy for people to fall into a state of eating and waiting for death, even if many people know that changing it will make it better.
After Sakura pushed the ball over, Jiraiya said helplessly, "It's just some suspicions, and they haven't really fully confirmed their purpose." However, there is a lot of information about the tasks they have taken on in the past. β
"Is it one of those things that take on tasks in large quantities and at low prices?" Naruto recalled the information that Jiraiya had given him, "That information was indeed very useful. But about the safety of the tailed beasts, is it also the attention of the group of people who are playing the tailed beasts? If you gather the nine tailed beasts, your strength can indeed increase greatly. β
It's just that he still has a lot of doubts in his mind.
"I don't know much about these things, if you are interested, you can find a time to look it up." Sakura stretched her waist and looked a little lazy, "But don't waste the task for the next period of time." β
"It's rare to enter a period of development, but you can't mess it up!"
