Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 134
"The reason for becoming stronger?"

Sasuke paused, his eyes showed confusion, he suspected that Yukimura was deliberately making things difficult for him, otherwise, what reason would he need to become stronger?
To become stronger and more powerful, to become the most powerful ninja in the village, shouldn't that be the dream of every ninja?

"There must be a reason for what people do."

Yukimura said again.

"Wanting to make a famous name in the ninja world, earning a lot of money, gaining praise from family members and peers, becoming Hokage, and even wanting to be favored by more girls are all things that make people One of the reasons to try to be strong."

"So, what's your reason?"

"I……"

Sasuke's eyes flickered for a moment, and he lowered his head to think for a moment. It could be seen from his expression that he seemed a little dazed at the moment. Then, he raised his head and didn't answer the question right away, but hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask.

"What about... Naruto? What's his reason?"

Since everyone needs a reason, then there must be a reason for Naruto to work so hard to become stronger.

"of course."

Yukimura nodded and replied.

Naruto's reason, although he has never heard him say it himself, but anyone who has read the manga knows it in his heart.

"This is Naruto's reason for wanting to be recognized by everyone around him."

He looked at Sasuke, and replied word by word in an affirmative tone.

That's right, gaining everyone's approval is the reason for supporting Naruto to go all the way.

Very simple and very pure.

As for the others, becoming a Hokage who is better than others is just a means for Naruto to achieve this goal.

"That's his reason?"

Sasuke frowned, this reason sounded very simple at first glance, it was not as lofty as glorifying one's ancestors or becoming a hero, it seemed very simple.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is not easy at all to make everyone around him agree with him. Even, if you look deeper, this goal is much more difficult than becoming Hokage or something like that.

Because the human heart is a very complicated thing, even if it is a good thing, it is impossible to always get a good response.You can never accurately guess the thoughts in other people's hearts, so you can't make others satisfied with you forever. Even Hokage, it is impossible to completely get the approval of everyone around you.

Although some people have said that only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage, this sentence is correct, but this everyone cannot completely represent everyone, only most of them.

Therefore, Sasuke can imagine how much effort Naruto needs to put in to achieve the goal in his heart.

"But……"

Sasuke hesitated, he still didn't quite understand, why did Naruto choose such a difficult thing as the goal of his efforts?
"Sasuke, do you know Naruto?"

Yukimura asked, for Sasuke, does Naruto have any other meaning besides being a classmate of the ninja school and a companion who performs missions together?

"Of course I understand."

Sasuke replied without hesitation, but just after saying this, he was taken aback suddenly, because he found out that he actually didn't know Naruto as well as he thought.

He knows Naruto's strength, Naruto's character, and the fact that Naruto is an orphan.

However, there are many things he doesn't know, such as why Naruto became an orphan, and who are his parents?

And, why did he try so hard to gain the approval of others, and what was the real reason?
His understanding of Naruto is only on the surface, but he doesn't know the real Naruto.

"About 13 years ago, a big event happened in Muye Village. Do you know what it is?"

Yukimura leaned on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and asked again.

"of course I know."

Sasuke immediately nodded and said, the incident 13 years ago was a huge change for any villager in Konoha, even a child who has not experienced it personally will know about it from his family. For Ye Village, it can be called a huge disaster.

"The nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konoha, and was sealed by the Fourth Hokage at the expense of himself."

Sasuke replied.

"That's right, then do you know where Nine Tails is sealed?"

Yukimura looked at him seriously and asked again.

"This one……"

Sasuke was at a loss for words for a while, and he suddenly realized that he never seemed to have thought about this question.

That's right, since it's a seal, there must be a location.

Fu Yue only told him about Nine Tails being sealed, but he didn't mention where the seal was.

"It seems you don't know."

Yukimura nodded knowingly, plainly.

It's not surprising that Sasuke didn't know about this.

Shortly after the Kyuubi incident, Sandai issued a ban to prevent villagers from mentioning that Naruto was Jinchuriki. Therefore, although most adults at the time knew Naruto's identity, the children who grew up later did not know it.

"Then let me tell you, the current Kyuubi is sealed inside Naruto's body."

Yukimura said in a deep voice, and before Sasuke could recover from the previous shock, he threw another bomb again.

"Moreover, the fourth Hokage who sealed Nine Tails and sacrificed himself was actually Naruto's biological father."

"what?"

Sasuke raised his head abruptly, his face full of surprise, Fuyue had never said such a thing.

"So, Naruto, he belongs to the Fourth Hokage..."

With a look of astonishment, he murmured in a low voice.

Does that boy Naruto have such a prominent background?

But why...

"The fourth generation of Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails in the body of his own child, making Naruto a container for the Nine-Tails and protecting Konoha Village, but it is precisely because of this that Naruto has since become a homeless Returning orphans."

Yukimura said calmly, and slowly lifted the veil of Naruto's identity in front of Sasuke.

"This is what Naruto is burdened with. Because of Kyuubi, he has had to live under the eyes of the villagers who hate him since he was a baby. When other children are enjoying a happy childhood with family and friends, All Naruto has is an empty home and a bunch of icy stares."

"For you, the chief student in the school, the so-called becoming stronger is just a small way to get the praise of your family and the envy of your peers. Even without these, you are still the young master of the Uchiha clan. Living in a big house, enjoying a beautiful life that no one else can imagine, having the love of father, mother and brother, and being envied by the children around."

"But for Naruto, becoming stronger, becoming more powerful, and gaining the affirmation of others, making everyone around him agree with him, is the only thing he can work hard to achieve. Because other than that, He has almost nothing."

"You feel that being surpassed by Naruto is a very unpleasant thing, but, what Naruto has been striving for, in fact, you have always had a lot."

"I see."

Sasuke's lips twitched, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. Although he couldn't fully understand this kind of life, even with a little reverie, he could feel how hard it was.

He understood the harm that Kyuubi had caused to the village back then, and because of this understanding, he also understood the attitude of the villagers towards Kyuubi, which was utter rejection and hatred.

No wonder, many adults have such weird and cold attitudes towards Naruto.

"That Naruto guy, has he always lived in such an environment?"

He lowered his head and whispered in a voice only he could hear: "Is this why that guy is fighting?"

"That's right, that's why Naruto worked hard and became stronger quickly."

Yukimura nodded and continued.

"Perhaps in your opinion, Naruto's transformation from weak to strong only happened in a short half day. However, for this short half day, Naruto endured the hardships of the death of both parents and being alone from childhood to adulthood. Life, enduring the pressure that ordinary people can't imagine, and under such pressure, still step by step to the present."

"He is not only practicing hard, but also living hard, living hard for his own dreams and for the affirmation of the people around him. This is Naruto, and this is the truth why Naruto can quickly become stronger. "

After finishing speaking, Yukimura looked at Sasuke and asked.

"Now, do you still think Naruto's growth is very simple?"

"I……"

Sasuke was silent for a while, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after the words got into his throat, he found that he couldn't say anything.

Sasuke, who has a family and relatives, can't imagine what kind of life Naruto has lived all these years since he was a child.

Being hated by adults, alienated by children, lacking the care of family members and the support of friends, this kind of life is the growth environment that Naruto has experienced since he was a baby.

However, even so, he never showed frustration and dissatisfaction at school because of this kind of life. In the eyes of others, he was always laughing, making noise, fighting, fighting, and arguing with others, but never Can't complain about anything.

Maybe, in the empty and silent night, he would occasionally cry secretly, revealing his fragile and lonely side.However, when facing outsiders, he will always be the unremitting Uzumaki Naruto with a tenacious smile on his face.

Naruto, he is really working hard all the time.

Sasuke thought to himself, he seemed to understand the source of Naruto's strength.

"What you are after is to become physically stronger, to make your body stronger, invincible, and invincible. However, this kind of strength is only superficial strength, because your heart is still warm Sasuke Uchiha, who grew up at home under the protection of his father and elder brother, like you, no matter how strong you appear on the surface, you are still just a paper tiger that can be broken with a single poke."

Yukimura paused, pointed to his chest and said.

"As for Naruto, he is not just superficially tough. In the past 13 years, after various trials and hardships, his heart has become very strong, and he has become stronger than most people. It is also because Only in this way can he walk so firmly on the road of ninja, and continue to walk on the same firm way in the future."

"That's why Naruto can become powerful."

Speaking of this, Yukimura suddenly fell silent for a moment, because at this moment, a flash of enlightenment flashed in his heart.

He suddenly realized that the kind of person he mentioned who only had a strong body but lacked inner training and could not grow up included not just Sasuke.

Living under the protection of others, blindly pursuing physical toughness, but always in a state of escaping inwardly, when things happen, you only want to hide when you can, and escape when you can. Isn't this a portrayal of yourself now?

From a certain point of view, at this moment, deep in his heart, he may be more fragile than Sasuke in front of him. At least Sasuke has left the village and fought against the real enemy, and Yukimura, for so long, what he has experienced Most of the battles are just sparring with your companions under the condition of absolute safety.

Is such an approach really correct?
He couldn't help thinking like this.

With this ostrich-like mentality, living under the wings of others for the rest of your life, no matter how well-trained your body is, when you really face a crisis, will it be as you said, a one-shot break, only What about the superficially tough paper tiger?
At this moment, Yukimura suddenly felt that his long-term life plan did not seem to be completely beneficial.

It seems that Sasuke is not the only one who needs to become stronger...

He laughed at himself, what is this, pouring chicken soup for himself?
"Okay, it's getting late, let's stop here today."

Thinking of himself, Yukimura became somewhat dispirited, he stood up, walked to the door, and planned to send Sasuke away.

"Mr. Yukimura."

At this time, Sasuke suddenly stopped him from behind, Yukimura turned his head, and saw Sasuke slowly raised his head, his eyes were clear, from his eyes, Yukimura seemed to see something that he had never seen before.

"I don't have any particular reason for becoming stronger."

He looked at Yukimura, and said seriously with a firm tone.

"I'm just pure, I don't want to lose to that guy."
