cool, no need to explain
Madara: This world is peaceful.
Hashirama: ...
Madara: You lost.
Hashirama: ...
Madara: Why don't you talk? Nothing to say?
Hashirama: I'm just... very happy... very happy to see everyone in the village safe and peaceful...
Madara: ...
Hashirama: Madara, if the world really becomes like this, would you be happy?
Madara: What I want is a peaceful world, just like the world you see before you, without war, without killing, without... ninjas.
Hashirama: Without… ninjas?
Madara: Can't you see it? The peace of this world? Can't you see it!

Naruto was lying on the sofa playing with his phone. Minato was watching TV next to him. Kushina and Hinata went to take a shower. Hinata would sleep with Kushina at night, and Naruto would sleep with Minato.
Naruto scratched his right leg with his left foot: "Hinata can just sleep in my room, I can sleep in the guest room.".
"The guest room is piled with some stuff, so it can't be used for now.". Minato said back while holding the TV remote, "It's you, though, you suddenly brought Hinata here and we weren't prepared at all, you almost had to sleep in the living room tonight.".
"emmmmm...". Naruto raised his head, "Dad, how did you win over Mom back then?".
Minato looked at him strangely: "Kushina and I were childhood friends, just like you and Hinata, is there a problem?".
"No.". Naruto shook his head, "I just think you're especially slow sometimes.".
Minato had a strange look on his face.
Speaking honestly, he could accept it if anyone said he was slow, but Naruto...
If Hinata hadn't plucked up the courage to confess, Naruto would probably still think Hinata was a 'very good person'.
Forget it, Minato smiled and shook his head: "You need to know, sometimes understanding and not understanding is just a fine line, you understand but you can't understand, and when you don't understand, it's best to really not understand.".
"?".
Naruto scratched out a question mark.
Minato just smiled and didn't explain, anyway, Naruto will understand after marriage.
The TV stayed on a certain international news channel, and the smile on Minato's face instantly became a little smaller.
He calmly changed the channel and asked, pretending not to care; "Speaking of which, when are you and Hinata planning to get married? If I remember correctly, you'll both be adults in two more years, right?".
"Yes.". Naruto nodded, then touched the back of his head,
"I don't have any problems, but Hinata's father seems a little unhappy. Some time ago, Hanabi also told me that her dad is preparing to imitate 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter' and give me five riddles that I have to pass in order to marry Hinata.".
Minato's eyes lit up: "Sounds interesting.".
"What's interesting about it.". Naruto complained, "Hanabi said that the first challenge her dad gave me was to create a blue ball with my bare hands... how is that even possible? I'm not a god.".
"This kind of idea...". Minato had a strange look on his face, "Could it be that Hiashi-sama is also a fan of 'Hokage Ninja'?".
"Who knows.". Naruto shrugged.
'Hokage Ninja' is a novel written by Jiraiya, the husband of the current Daimyo Tsunade of the Land of Fire. Because it was so popular, it was made into a live-action drama. Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit as soon as it landed on TV.
The main character, Menma, is even regarded as an idol by countless primary and middle school students, and even adults are following the drama. Unfortunately, it has only been updated to Menma's good friend Nibashira defecting from Neon Village. The later stories are said to still be in production.
That blue ball is Menma's ultimate move, a powerful technique called 'Super Light Wheel Limited Dance Howl Paint Style'.
Oh right, this name was given by Minato. Jiraiya was his professor during university, and the two have a very good relationship.
Naruto couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. This name is worthy of Dad... he chose it so well. Unlike that old man Jiraiya, he insisted on using 'Rasengan', which doesn't sound powerful at all. Dad's name is still better.
After speaking, Naruto turned to look at Minato, his eyes clear: "So... which channel did you just switch to?".
Minato's smile instantly froze.
"Hmm?". Naruto tilted his head, his eyes as clear as ever.
Minato sighed helplessly: "You found out, it's actually about Orochimaru's side.".
Naruto's smile also disappeared instantly. He sat up from the sofa: "I want to watch.".
"No.". Minato shook his head without hesitation.
"I want to watch!". Naruto's voice was slightly louder.
"No!". Minato refused directly, his tone extremely firm, "Even if you know Sasuke's current situation, so what? What can you do? You also know Orochimaru's status in the Land of Rice Fields, with your current abilities, you can't get Sasuke back from him at all.".
Naruto clenched his fists, not saying a word.
Seeing this, the firmness in Minato's tone couldn't help but lessen a little:
"Naruto, that was Sasuke's own choice. The Land of Fire can't interfere with someone's thoughts, and the Land of Rice Fields' international status is too special because of Orochimaru's existence. There's nothing we can do.".
Naruto was a little unwilling: "Why? Just because Sasuke is a survivor of that experiment? That's not fair! The Land of Fire is clearly one of the Five Great Nations, yet it can't even deal with a small...".
"Naruto!". Minato interrupted Naruto, his eyes serious, "This is a peaceful world. It's because we are one of the Five Great Nations that we have the obligation to maintain this peace. If everyone acted according to their own ideas, then how could peace exist?".
After speaking, Minato took a deep breath: "Also, as the town chief's son, it's really inappropriate to say such things.".
Minato... is the town chief of Konoha Town, and can be said to be the person with the highest status in Konoha Town. Moreover, because of Konoha's position in the Land of Fire, no one would disagree with the existence of Minato being described as above ten thousand people and below one in the Land of Fire.
And the Hyuga family, where Hinata is located, is a top-notch business family in the entire world, and Hinata is the eldest daughter of the current chairman.
Naruto lowered his head, his eyes becoming a little dim: "Can't we be... more direct?".
"This is the world, Naruto.". Minato patted Naruto's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, I will continue to communicate with the Land of Rice Fields. Orochimaru is, after all, someone from our Land of Fire. I believe that one day, Sasuke will return safely.".
"Communication... always communication. If communication could solve problems, great-grandfather wouldn't have died in... the Land of Lightning.". Naruto pursed his lips, his tone stubborn.
Minato sighed.
Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, they were both Naruto's great-grandfathers. Senju Hashirama was seriously injured in a sneak attack by a traitor and passed away after lying in the hospital for a while. As for Senju Tobirama, as the town chief of Konoha Town, he shouldn't have had an accident.
But unfortunately, on the way back from a trip to Kumogakure Town in the Land of Lightning, Tobirama was targeted by a rebel organization in the Land of Thunder. In the end, he risked his life to take his subordinates and die together with the rebel organization, and all Konoha could do was condemn the Land of Thunder for their carelessness in the arrangements.
Because this is a peaceful world, they... cannot wage war.
Technology can destroy humanity in an instant.
War also means...
Mutual destruction.
