Chapter 24: Firm Goal
Looking at Konoha in front of him, Naruto suddenly asked, "Sasuke, although I know you won't let me down, I still wonder why you made such a decision."
Sasuke also looked at Konoha in front of him and said, "When you told me all this yesterday, I really couldn't accept it. My brother made such a big sacrifice for the village, and it was not worth it to sacrifice the lives of so many clansmen. But although I still don't understand what the village means. However, I believe in you and my brother. I believe that you must have your reasons for making such a choice.
Later, I thought of your wanting to eliminate the sadness and darkness in this world. I think if there is no sadness and darkness in this world, then my brother may return to the brother I loved before. So I decided to realize your dream with you, because this is also my dream."
Naruto was slightly stunned when he heard Sasuke's answer. Naruto didn't expect Sasuke's thinking to be so simple, but it was because of the simplicity that he grasped the root of the problem. As long as the world is peaceful and there is no sadness and darkness, Itachi will be able to come back.
Naruto smiled and said, "Sasuke, I have to admit that you are a genius. Although your idea is very simple, many people can't think of this simple idea."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto with disdain and said, "Do you think I am a big fool like you? Such a simple question can be difficult for me, Sasuke, what a joke. And I won't feel honored to be praised by a fool like you." Naruto was so angry that he jumped
up and down after hearing what Sasuke said. He wanted to teach this arrogant kid a lesson, but he thought about Sasuke's experience and let it go. He
thought to himself, "Well, considering that you just experienced a big change, I won't bother with you, a little brat. The adults don't remember the mistakes of the little ones. I will let you go for now and deal with you next time."
In fact, Naruto was afraid that he might be punished by Iruka if he fought with Sasuke here. Every time he saw Iruka's nagging, Naruto finally thought about it and let it go.
After Naruto calmed down, he said, "Sasuke, you want to know why Itachi would make such a great sacrifice for the village, and what a village is. In fact, I can tell you."
Sasuke turned back and stared at Naruto and said, "Can you tell me? You know."
Naruto nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I know what a village is and why Itachi would sacrifice for the village, because my father also sacrificed for the village."
Sasuke then remembered that the father of this idiot in front of him was the Fourth Hokage.
After Sasuke calmed down, he said, "Then will you tell me?"
Naruto nodded and said: "Okay, Sasuke, you know that Konoha Village was founded by the First Hokage and your Uchiha family."
Sasuke replied: "Yes, I know this. I heard from my father that Konoha Village was founded by the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara. But does this have anything to do with what I want to know?" Naruto replied
: "Of course it is related. This is also the reason, Itachi, why so many people sacrificed for the village."
Sasuke was surprised and said: "Is there any other reason?"
Naruto said: "There is a reason. In the era when the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara lived, the average life expectancy of people was only 15 years old. Just imagine how terrible it is for people to have a life expectancy of only 15 years old."
Sasuke replied in surprise: "Why is people's life expectancy so low."
Naruto replied sadly: "Because War, in that war-filled era, people like us who were only 7 or 8 years old had to go to the battlefield and fight for the survival of the family. Just think about it, how long can people live in such an environment. "
Sasuke replied: "So the first generation and Uchiha Madara built the village, right?"
Naruto replied: "Yes, in that era, it was simply a fantasy for people to grow up in a relatively peaceful environment. But only some people who love fantasy will work hard for this impossible thing. And the people who realized this fantasy are Uchiha Madara and the first generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama. "
Naruto stared into Sasuke's eyes and said seriously: "And Itachi brother is the one who inherited the will of the first generation. He will bear so much for the village for his dream. And Sasuke, your dream is the same. "
"You are right, but I want to know the origin of the village. Tell me everything you know." Sasuke said to Naruto seriously.
Naruto thought for a moment, nodded and said: "The origin of the village can be traced back to the meeting between the first generation and Uchiha Madara. According to records, the two of them have been friends since childhood, but their families are in opposition." Sasuke was surprised: "Uchiha and Senju are in opposition?"
Naruto replied: "Yes, they are in opposition. When they first met, they didn't know who each other was. They only knew that the other was a teenager with the same dream as themselves, and both wanted to protect their younger brothers. It was not until later that they found out that due to family relationships, the two of them became enemies from friends."
Sasuke interrupted: "From friends to enemies, I think they must be very sad."
Naruto nodded and continued: "The saddest thing is that Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izumi, died in a battle at the hands of Senju Hashirama's younger brother, the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama."
Sasuke was surprised: "The second generation killed Uchiha Madara's younger brother, so the hatred between them cannot be resolved? ? How did they build Konoha together in the end? "
Naruto replied: "Indeed, after Senju Tobirama killed Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Madara replaced Uchiha Izumi's eyes in order to avenge Uchiha Izumi, and evolved the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. He came to seek revenge on Senju Hashirama, and the two fought for a day and a night. In the end, Uchiha Madara was defeated by Senju Hashirama. "
Sasuke was surprised and said: "The first generation actually defeated Uchiha Madara who had the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The first generation is too terrifying."
Naruto said proudly: "Of course, otherwise why do you think the world would call Senju Hashirama the God of Ninja."
Seeing Naruto's pride, Sasuke replied lightly: "It's not you, why are you so proud, just tell me what's next."
Naruto replied unwillingly: "I will reach their level in the future, and I will surpass them to show you."
Sasuke said helplessly: "I know, can I tell you what's next now?"
Naruto was shocked when he saw Sasuke's indifferent expression. He
continued listlessly, "After Hashirama Senju defeated Madara Uchiha, he persuaded Madara to join hands with him to create their childhood dream together. But Madara was weakened by the death of Uchiha Izumi and his defeat by Hashirama. He no longer had the will and reason to pursue his dream, so Madara Uchiha rejected Hashirama's proposal. But Hashirama was unwilling to give up his brother and tried hard to persuade him."
Naruto paused and continued, "Finally, Madara Uchiha proposed a condition. As long as Hashirama Senju agreed to this condition, he would be willing to join hands with the Senju to end this chaotic world."
Sasuke asked, "What is that condition?"
Naruto replied, "Your condition is to let Hashirama Senju Kill Tobirama Senju or commit suicide."
Sasuke was surprised and said, "What, Uchiha Madara actually wanted Senju Hashirama to kill his own brother."
Naruto replied, "Yes, but Hashirama didn't want to hurt his brother, so he chose to commit suicide in the end. Maybe Hashirama's sincerity moved Madara, and in the end Madara stopped Hashirama's suicide, and came with Hashirama to the place they had planned in their childhood to build the current Konoha Ninja Village. By the way, the name Konoha was given by Uchiha Madara. "
After listening to the origin of the village, Sasuke thought seriously, and then said, "Since Konoha was
built , why is there so much sadness? "
Naruto looked at Sasuke seriously and said, "This is what we are going to do next. The first generation was just the starting point for achieving peace. After he and Uchiha Madara established the village, villages were built all over the world. The strongest of them are the current five major ninja villages. When he was still alive, the world gained a brief peace because of his strength."
Naruto suddenly said seriously, "But he underestimated the hatred of this world. When he died, the hatred suppressed in each village broke out. Although the first generation distributed the tailed beasts to each village in order to balance the strength of each village, he still couldn't suppress people's desires and hatred, which led to the later... Several Ninja World Wars have occurred in the past."
Sasuke said at this time: "That is to say, what we have to do now is to eliminate these desires and hatred, right?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke with appreciation and said: "Yes, what we have to do is to eliminate these desires and hatred, so that the world can have real peace."
Sasuke said at this time: "And to do this, you must have enough strength and status, so you want to become Hokage, right?"
Naruto said firmly: "Yes, when I become Hokage, I must make sure that there will be no more wars in this world, only peace. Sasuke, will you help me?"
Sasuke said firmly: "Of course, now this is not just a big fool like you. The dream of Itachi is also my dream. I will let my brother put down his burdens and be the gentle, strong and kind brother instead of the traitor who is wanted by everyone. "
Naruto also nodded and said, "Well, let's work together to get Itachi brother back, and realize the peace of the world together."
Sasuke replied, "But now we should work hard to improve our strength."
Naruto also said, "Yes, we must improve our strength as soon as possible, Sasuke, don't worry, I will help you kill Danzo. If for nothing else, it's because he will do whatever it takes to achieve his own desires."
At this time, Sasuke said firmly, "No, Danzo, I want to kill him myself, I know you are afraid that I will impulsively seek revenge on Danzo, don't worry, I still want to create world peace together. I won't do it unless I am absolutely sure. "
Naruto looked at Sasuke and suddenly laughed: "Haha, Sasuke, do you know that Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara once stood where we are now. Hashirama said that he wanted to build this forest in front of him into a village, and now you and I are standing here and saying that we want to achieve world peace. But I believe we will succeed. Because I am not Hashirama, and you are not Madara. So we will definitely succeed, right?"
Sasuke replied coolly: "Of course, we will achieve world peace."
