The Strongest Technician of Konoha

Chapter 142 The So-called Ninja

After some pleasantries, Kakashi took Sasuke and Sakura on their way home.

Naruto stayed and was taken to a certain restaurant by Xuan Yu.

"Brother Xuan Yu."

Naruto had no appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls, he looked at the desolate street outside, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I seem to understand a little bit, Brother Xuan Yu, why did you ask me what a ninja is?"

"Oh?"

Xuan Yu looked at him with great interest: "It's your first time leaving the village, right? You've gained something so soon? Don't try to perfuse me by saying that ninja is a very powerful big shot."

"No way." Naruto shook his head: "Before, we met ninjas from other countries on the way here."

Then, Naruto told Xuan Yu what happened in the canyon before.

Although Xuan Yu knew what happened at that time, and even investigated what happened here, which was only a lot more than Naruto knew, but he didn't interrupt him, but listened patiently.

Then, Naruto told Xuanyu Kakashi that he rescued a member of a so-called mob armed organization and obtained information from him.

"Tsk tsk. As expected of Kakashi-senpai." Xuanyu tsk-tsk-tsk marveled: "Under such circumstances, he was able to save a person without anyone noticing it. It's really detailed."

After Naruto finished speaking, he inexplicably lowered his eyes.

"Brother Xuanyu, for a ninja, is the mission absolute?"

He clenched his fists tightly, his little face full of tangled expressions.

"In order to complete the task, even if you have to face ordinary people with little fighting ability, or even unarmed civilians, you must kill them all without hesitation. Even if you know your actions are evil, you must unswervingly execute them. down, eh?"

Da da da
Xuanyu tapped the five fingers of his right hand lightly on the wooden table, making a rhythmic sound, resting his left hand on his cheek, his eyes were on Naruto's small face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an unknown smile.

"Slightly, it has grown a little bit."

Eh?
Answering the wrong question made Naruto's heart skip a beat.

"Brother Xuan Yu, what do you mean?"

Naruto, who had reacted, looked at Xuan Yu nervously, with obvious anticipation in his blue eyes.

However, Xuan Yu didn't intend to go deep into the sentence just now, but after stopping tapping with five fingers of his right hand, he began to talk about Naruto's question just now:

"Correct a little."

He raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger, as if he wanted to explain something.

"A qualified ninja has no distinction between good deeds and evil deeds. After all, for many people, the ninja itself is just a tool that can be used. A tool has no feelings, and naturally there is no good or evil. You If you want to judge good and evil, you have to start from the source of the problem, this is like the kunai in your hand, if you use kunai to kill people, can you say that kunai is doing some kind of evil deed?"

Hearing this, the expression on Naruto's face froze.

Then, the look began to become heavy.

"Ninja, is it just a tool without emotion?"

"This is someone else's, or many people's conclusions. Remember what I told you? After all, what you get from other people's mouths is just information that can be used for reference. You have to recognize it with your own eyes and thinking. Know to find your own answers.”

Xuan Yu said calmly: "Also, don't ask me the question I asked you before, I won't tell you my conclusion until you find the answer with your own thinking and cognition, because even if I say Even if you don’t understand, you just met ninjas from other countries for the first time and experienced what happened in the outside world for the first time, and you are still too young.”

Naruto:"."

"Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not convinced."

Naruto curled his lips and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.

Seeing this, Xuan Yu chuckled meaningfully: "Heh, since that's the case, then I'll talk to you about my affairs for a while."

Hearing this, Naruto pricked up his ears almost reflexively.

Under his curious eyes, Xuan Yu slowly opened his mouth:
"For me, goodwill and malice are just the opposite of a card, and they are a kind of human emotion. The good and evil deeds based on this emotion are themselves just behaviors to satisfy a certain need in the heart. The human heart is only self-satisfaction, so whether it is self-interest or altruism that follows the original heart, it is essentially a desire. Venting anger is a desire, and pity for the weak is also a desire. Since it is a desire and a personal feeling, there is instability. There are hidden dangers and it is unreliable, so if you want things to develop in a direction that is beneficial to everyone, how should you treat people's feelings?"

Naruto:"."

To be honest, I didn't understand much.

These words were still too early for him, a 12-year-old boy who hadn't experienced much in the world.

He was finally sure that he was indeed still far behind.

"Look." Xuan Yu shrugged: "I've said it all, you don't understand what I'm thinking now."

Naruto immediately lay down on the table like a deflated ball.

"Brother Xuanyu, you know so many things and are so strong, there must be nothing you can't do, right?"

"who said it?!"

Xuan Yu slapped the table violently: "At least I won't be able to give birth to a child."

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but twitch his eyes, even knowing that Big Brother Xuanyu would say some inexplicable things sometimes.

But this time Xuan Yu didn't make any nonsense.

"Naruto, what do you think is the greatest pain in human beings?"

Ok?
Although Naruto didn't understand why Xuanyu asked this suddenly, he still thought about it carefully, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and his face became a little weird for no reason.

"Lonely."

He spoke his answer.

For him, the most painful thing is being rejected, being left out in the cold, and having to practice, play, and live alone.

He hated that feeling.

Therefore, the appearance of Xuan Yu is no less than a savior to him. It not only guides him to practice, but also allows him to use various powerful techniques to completely get rid of the title of the tail of the crane and become the most powerful ninja among the graduates. To the point where he can even compete with a master ninja like Kakashi, and he also accompanied him in his childhood, freeing him from the lonely hell.

Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Xuan Yu with gratitude.

But Xuan Yu has long been used to this.

"It really is this."

Xuan Yu scratched his temples, and then yawned long. He didn't know what he did last night, and he yawned continuously in broad daylight.

"Then you want to know my opinion?"

咕咚
Naruto swallowed, then nodded heavily, and said without thinking:

"miss you!"

"Then I'll tell you."

Xuan Yu put his elbows on the table, his calm eyes gradually became darker.

"I think the greatest pain of human beings is that they cannot cross the gap between knowing and doing, and have to accept the limitation of their own existence."

"Eh?"

At the beginning, it was the words that Naruto needed to think carefully for a while before he could understand.

"Knowing is one thing, but doing it is another. If you don't know, then it doesn't matter, and naturally there will be no pain. But if you know, but you can't do it, that feeling is a kind of torture. For example, when you first asked me to be your teacher, I told you about the problems that have been bothering me."

Hearing this, Naruto's mind immediately recalled what Xuan Yu said to him in the back mountain more than four years ago.

Even an existence like him has a problem that he wants to solve but can't do anything about it, and this problem has been Naruto's goal since he met Xuan Yu.

Thinking of this, he nodded.

He probably understood what Xuan Yu meant.

"I have to admit that human logic is limited, rationality is limited, and cognition is also limited. No one can draw a perfect circle, no one can create a perfect art, and no one can create a perfect A perfect world where everyone can be happy."

Xuan Yu sighed slightly.

"My abilities are too limited, so all I can do is what I think is right, and then accept that what he did backfired."

When he said this, in Naruto's eyes, there was a deep helplessness on his face.

Naruto vaguely felt that this big brother Xuan Yu who was almost omnipotent in his heart was brooding over a regrettable incident.

"Everyone's limitations are different."

Xuan Yu stretched out his hand, tapped Naruto's forehead lightly, and said with a smile:
"So, what I can do doesn't mean you can do it, and what I can't do doesn't mean you can't do it either, Naruto, I've always had a lot of love for you Looking forward to it."
