Chapter 67 Meeting Others

Before Naruto could run away, a long tongue rolled him back.

Toadada looked dumb and turned a deaf ear to Naruto's yelling.

"be quiet!"

Jiraiya had a bit of a headache.

At this moment, Kakashi is still on the hospital bed, and the damage caused by Tsukuyomi Space seems to be really serious.

If he was knocked headlong by Naruto, the shouting would reach Sasuke's ears.

"In short, our practice is not over yet."

"But we have no strength anymore!"

Naruto yelled.

Naruto, who had been training all morning, was relatively exhausted at this time, and Sasuke had just used a psychic technique, which exhausted the chakra in his body.

"Cultivation sometimes requires strength, sometimes it requires brains. But now, it requires heart."

Jiraiya motioned for the two disciples to sit down.

The three of them formed a small circle under the tree and sat on the ground. The breeze was gentle and the sun was shining brightly.

A few crows flew between the branches of the trees.

"I still remember the first time I took you two to practice. The scene at dusk that day was the same as now."

When Jiraiya said this, the memories of both Naruto and Sasuke were brought back.

At that time, they had just started practicing the advanced version of water walking and fell into the river from time to time.

Jiraiya demonstrated his exquisite control of chakra using the Fire Dragon Jutsu, roasting the clothes of both of them.

Later, the three of them sat around the fire in the dusk, and Jiraiya gave specific suggestions for Naruto's situation.

"That day, I told you the principle of 'seeing yourself', do you still remember?"

Jiraiya asked.

The two nodded.

From that day on, Naruto stopped practicing the exquisite control of chakra, and instead studied how to establish a connection with the demon fox in his body, and then borrow powerful power.

"You want to become stronger, win the recognition of everyone, and become Hokage.

"You want to become stronger, kill Uchiha Itachi, and avenge the family."

Jiraiya repeated what he said that day.

"As for me, I want to pass on my ideas, cultivate ninjas with firm will and strong strength, and bring permanent stability and peace to the ninja world!"

However, this time, Jiraiya added his own ideals and clearly stated his requirements to his disciples for the first time.

"In this world, people come and go, gather and disperse. Many people are noisy and don't know why they are here, and they don't know why they are gathering with each other.

"Even a lifetime of confusion, being imprisoned in a small room. Not understanding each other, causing pain to others, and at the same time suffering the pain caused by others, it is meaningless, and ultimately a life is wasted.

“At that time, although the three of us had different goals, we were still able to work together in the short term, and it seemed like we were enjoying ourselves.

"However, if we cannot understand each other's existence, this bond will soon be torn apart as the target is separated, and it will eventually cause pain.

“Being aware of each other’s differences, trying to understand each other’s differences, trying to accept and see their goals as your own is to meet others.”

Sasuke fell into silence. He knew that Master Toad had noticed the rift between him and Naruto and was trying to persuade them.

On the other side, Naruto also seemed to understand.

"Have you ever really thought about what you can do for Sasuke if he wants revenge?"

Jiraiya suddenly turned his head and asked Naruto.

Naruto was startled.

All this time, he had only heard Sasuke mention this matter, but he had never thought about it deeply, let alone what he wanted to do.

For himself, Sasuke is indeed a very special existence.

If a person is alone for a long time, it becomes difficult to truly trust anyone.

Maybe, someone will appear who cares about him and gives him warmth, such as Iruka. Maybe, he will also make many playmates to play games with and keep company with, such as Shikamaru and Inuzuka Kiba.

However, in his subconscious, he does not feel that these people can truly understand him.

He clearly knows that everyone's living environment is different.

He will only firmly believe that there is one person who can truly understand him, and that is the person who has suffered the same pain as him.

And the understanding from this kind of person is his real life-saving straw.

He will firmly believe that only this kind of person's understanding of himself is the true understanding.

Only such people are truly trustworthy.

To Naruto, that person was Sasuke who also had no home and was often alone.

His persistence comes from this, and his bond comes from this.

However, Teacher Jiraiya's words alerted him for the first time.

As Naruto, he had been looking at Sasuke's back from his own perspective.

But he never looked at Sasuke's perspective and looked at what he was seeing.

Naruto closed his eyes and began to imagine.

If, one day, someone kills Sasuke, Jiraiya, Iruka, Kakashi, Sakura and others...

Just thinking about it made Naruto's blood boil with rage.

Or, the one who killed these people was Sasuke himself

I'm afraid, that will be another kind of cold purgatory that is completely different from my own loneliness.

It turns out that this is what Teacher Jiraiya said, meeting others

Naruto looked at Sasuke with sadness in his eyes.

"I don't need this crane to do anything."

As soon as Jiraiya's words came out, Sasuke felt extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Naruto suddenly looked at him like this again. Sasuke felt so embarrassed that he wanted to die and wanted to crush both of them into a ball and throw them out.

"In other words, have you ever thought about why Naruto wants to be Hokage? What can you do for him?"

Jiraiya continued to turn around and ask regardless of Sasuke's life or death.

Sasuke was startled.

So what, actually I am also planning to become Hokage.

To be honest, although his ears heard the words about Naruto wanting to be Hokage, Sasuke never really thought about it.

how to say

Naruto, you are a fool.

He has no idea what being Hokage does, nor does he know the specific path to becoming Hokage.

He just knew that Hokage was the most respected profession in the village.

If Uncle Ichiraku was the person with the highest status in the village, Naruto would definitely aspire to be a ramen cook, and he would be even happier if he didn't.

However, Sasuke is a smart kid.

He could hear the meaning behind a sentence and understood what Jiraiya-sensei wanted to say——

It's nothing more than hoping that I can think about things from Naruto's perspective.

But unlike Naruto, Sasuke doesn't know how to do this, but doesn't want to.

His own problems were too severe, too complex, and too heavy.

The pressure of living alone when his entire family died made him always carry a heavy sense of guilt.

Before successfully taking revenge, Sasuke felt that he was not worthy of thinking about others.

The great revenge has not been avenged, so we are talking about friendship and understanding here.

For Sasuke, feelings are a luxury.

All his time, all his energy, all his strength, he just wished he couldn't spend 100% on revenge or getting stronger.

Whenever he relaxed even a little bit, he felt like his dead clansmen were spurning him.

Jiraiya stared at Sasuke's face with mixed feelings.

As a son of prophecy, if he is unwilling to "meet other people", how can we expect him to meet "all living beings in the world"?
