Naruto: My name is Naruto Nianma
Chapter 191: Old Age (4)
"That's wrong!" Menma discovered the problem, "After the elderly and children starve to death, there should be enough food for the remaining people!"
Jiraiya looked at Menma like he was a fool.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Menma said doubtfully.
Jiraiya said slowly: "How can anyone starve to death if there is only one mouthful left to eat?"
Snapped!Menma slapped himself hard on the head!
How on earth did you ask such a stupid question?
Isn't this the ninja world's version of "why not eat minced meat"?
However, Menma then discovered another problem: "Since there is no food, how did those men survive?"
Jiraiya didn't answer Menma's words, he just looked into the distance sadly.
"Could it be..." Menma's eyes widened as he thought of a terrible answer.
Jiraiya said slowly: "Yes, it's what you think!"
"..." Menma remained silent and didn't speak. After a while, he asked, "What happened next? What happened to the few men who survived?"
Jiraiya's face became serious and he said: "I killed them. When I know how they survived, I will kill them! A person, no matter what the reason is, as long as he eats people, then he will Can’t live in this world!”
Menma was silent, he didn't know whether what Jiraiya did was right or wrong.
Jiraiya looked confused and continued: "After becoming a ninja, I killed many people, but I never felt that I did anything wrong.
Ninja, either you kill me or I kill you.
But it wasn't until that day, when those men fell, that I doubted myself for the first time.
Am I really right?Can I really be guilt-free?Is there really nothing wrong with the belief I have always held? "
Menma looked serious, not knowing how to answer Jiraiya.
Jiraiya let out a long sigh and said, "You know Menma, over the past few decades I have often wondered, if I hadn't appeared in that village, would things have been different?
If I had not saved that old man, that village might have continued to exist;
If I had not changed the customs of that village, although some people in the village would have starved to death, they would not have descended into cannibalism.
I even kept thinking, did I kill the wrong men when I killed them?After all, they just want to live!
After all, the root cause of all this is myself!
In the past years, I have traveled through most of the ninja world, passed many such villages, and seen many people living in poverty.
I've been thinking, what can I do for them?How can I change the world?So I looked for answers everywhere, I practiced hard, I became a disciple of Mount Myoki, I accepted a boy with the samsara eye as my disciple, and I tried to find a way to change the ninja world!
But I wasted half my life, but in the end I accomplished nothing!
Now I have lost my original ambition and placed all my hopes on the illusory prophecy of Miaomu Mountain.
I look forward to one day finding the child of prophecy, leading him, teaching him, and helping him to achieve the goal of changing the ninja world.As for myself, I no longer expect to be the protagonist in the story.
Hahahahaha——, how about it, Menma, Master, I look ridiculous! "
Jiraiya laughed boldly, his eyes flashing with crystal light.
"I will do it!" Menma said suddenly.
"What?" Jiraiya turned to look at Menma.
"I said I would do it. I would do things like revolutionize the ninja world!" Menma had a firm face and spoke loudly.
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed loudly, stretched out his big hand to ruffle Menma's hair, and said with a heroic smile: "Hahaha, then I'll be waiting!
Okay, don’t delay here anymore, let’s go to the village below first. I also want to see how you solved the same situation as Master! "
After that, Jiraiya strode forward towards the village down the mountain with Menma.
Heavy snow covers the entire mountainous area, and the continuous peaks surround this small village with only a few dozen houses like white beasts. A thin blue smoke rises lonely in the gloomy cold wind.
The snake was hibernating, and the river that passed through the village still had broken ice, but it was already gurgling.
Menma and Jiraiya walked into the village, and the villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at them with curious eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" A relatively strong-looking man came out and asked the two of them with a very strange accent.
"We are travelers outside the mountains. We have fallen here because of the heavy snowfall for days. We hope to stay here until the spring flowers bloom." Jiraiya stepped forward and said.
"Come on, come on!" The man showed a very unwelcoming look, "We don't have any extra food here for you to eat!"
"We won't eat your food. The dry food we brought with us is enough to survive this winter!"
As soon as they heard that there was dry food, the villagers' realization immediately focused on Jiraiya, showing malicious eyes.
Jiraiya had seen scenes like this too many times, so he just sneered and stamped his foot on the ground.
Suddenly, dozens of cracks appeared under Jiraiya's feet, and the entire land shook violently, shaking the villagers unsteadily.
The villagers were immediately horrified. What kind of strength does it take to do such a thing?
The leader of the villagers was also very scared, but he still had the courage to say: "It's okay to let you live here, but you have to pay the rent!"
"Yes, yes, pay the rent!" The villagers' desire for food defeated their fear, and they all echoed.
Jiraiya nodded, took out two rice balls from his arms, threw them to the leader, and said, "This is tonight's rent!"
The man was overjoyed, but instead of stuffing the rice ball into his mouth, he wrapped it up solemnly and handed it to the woman behind him. Then he stretched out his hand to lead Menma and the two into the village: "Please!"
Seeing this scene, Menma nodded. It seemed that this man should be a good leader.
The man took Jiraiya and Menma to a dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the village and said, "You can live here. Although it is a bit old, at least it can protect you from the wind and rain!"
Menma looked at the building in front of him, with its muddy exterior walls and thatched roof.
Looking at the broken walls around it, this one was supposed to have three rooms, but two have been demolished, leaving only the theme building in the middle still intact.
The man then explained: "This house originally belonged to Ohno's family, but Ohno fell ill and died when winter came, and everyone in their family also died, so it was vacated.
The two small houses next to it have been demolished by the villagers and used as firewood. If you come a little later, this house will not be saved!
By the way, my name is Chenping, and I am the leader of this village. If you need any help, you can come to me, but it must be exchanged for food! "
Jiraiya looked at Menma like he was a fool.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Menma said doubtfully.
Jiraiya said slowly: "How can anyone starve to death if there is only one mouthful left to eat?"
Snapped!Menma slapped himself hard on the head!
