Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Came into this world by chance.

What drove him to return to Konoha was nothing else but this problem.

He really wanted to know how the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, his biological father, Namikaze Minato, viewed ninjas and Ninja Village.

In his view, ninjas are deformed products of the times.

Ninjas who do not engage in production, live by tasks, and fight with each other, will eventually be eliminated by the times if they do not make changes.

Among the evaluations of many people in Konoha on Namikaze Minato, there is one that he still remembers so far——

The Fourth Hokage is a peace-loving Hokage.

Although the Namikaze Minato of this world is not from his world, they are both similar flowers and have similar thoughts, which has a high reference value for him.

As long as people live for a long time, they will think about some messy things.

Either benefit the country and the people, or harm the country and the people, or live in seclusion in the mountains, or appear holy in front of others...

Under the effect of Long Yin's divine power, he died again and again, and was resurrected again and again.

He has long been numb to death.

So, of course, he had some other ideas about spiritual eternity.

Can he rely on his own strength to do what he can to this troubled world and to those poor and suffering people.

But these things are just some vague ideas at present, just a seed buried deep in the soil.

He needs to seek nourishment, to conceive it.

He is very grateful to Namikaze Minato and Uzumaku Yukuna, it is they who gave him life and allowed him to appreciate the brilliance of life again.

Therefore, he really wanted to know what the two of them thought about the world.

After two months of getting along, his mother Uzumaki Kukina's thoughts were clear to him, very simple.

The demise of the childhood vortex country, the turbulent war, and the pain of losing the country and family have greatly affected her worldview——

She longs for a peaceful and stable environment, a stable life, and a happy family life.

Being able to become Hokage, Namikaze Minato naturally has some ways of thinking that are different from ordinary people's 'kage'.

Naruto wanted to know how he pursued peace.

"Ninja? Ninja village?" Namikaze Minato looked at Naruto for a long time, seeming to understand what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Ninjas are a product of the Warring States Period, and Ninja Village is a product of mutual contracts between ninjas."

"Daimyo, princes, nobles, and civilians from all over the world, in order to achieve a certain purpose, spend rewards to issue tasks to Ninja Village. The ninjas accept and complete these tasks for survival, honor, or other things."

"A sad but realistic cycle of death."

"So what do you think about peace?" Naruto nodded and asked instead.

"Peace, a beautiful scene that requires everyone's efforts." Namikaze Minato sighed, "The growth of ninjas will not stop, but the number of tasks is limited."

"For limited missions, the fast-growing ninjas fought and fought each other, and the seeds of hatred were planted."

"Once hatred is born, it will never stop. If the ninjas of Konoha kill the ninjas of Sunagakure, the ninjas of Sunagakure will take revenge on the ninjas of Konoha. The same is true for the ninjas of Konoha. If so, it will become An endless cycle.”

"In order to break this cycle, individual efforts are not enough, it requires the efforts of everyone in the ninja world."

"I understand." Naruto nodded.

Namikaze Minato really thought about how to achieve peace.

But only if you really understand, you will understand how heavy these two words are; if you really think about it, you will find out how difficult it is to realize it.

To this day, he does not have a workable plan, or even an idea, on how to achieve peace.

……

The next day.

Naruto tendered his resignation to Namikaze and Minato.

He has stayed here for a long time. It is a blessing to meet him, but it is not beautiful to be greedy.

"Where will you go after you leave here?" Uzumaki Yukina rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked softly.

Knowing that meeting is doomed to parting, even though she had met today's arrival long ago, when this moment really came, she still couldn't help crying.

"To verify some things, meet some strong people, climb one mountain after another, and witness the beautiful scenery one after another." Naruto chuckled.

"You say that you are like a poet who has traveled far and wide." Uzumaki Yukina broke into tears and smiled.

"Haha, maybe next time we meet, I'm not sure if I'm a troubadour." Naruto laughed.

"I'll take you out." Namikaze Minato said when he saw that the goodbyes were almost complete.

"Excuse me."

Naruto nodded slightly to him. Although he lived in Konoha for two months, the fact that he is a black household has not changed.

Flying Thunder God's Jutsu, a time and space ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage and popularized by Namikaze Minato.

A powerful ninjutsu that can travel freely between different time and space through specific spell marks.

Namikaze Minato put his hand on his shoulder, and their figures disappeared in an instant.

Uzumaku Kona looked absently at the place where the two disappeared.

Outside Muye Village, in the forest in the northwest area, two figures suddenly appeared, frightening the surrounding birds and leaping from the branches in the forest.

"This is the periphery of Konoha, I believe you are familiar with it." Namikaze Minato said, "I don't know your next itinerary, so I can only send you here."

"That's enough, thank you." Looking around, Naruto nodded slightly.

"...Naruto." After hesitating, Namikaze Minato stopped him.

Naruto looked at him suspiciously.

"Have you ever thought about returning to Konoha? I can see that you also yearn for peace in your heart." Namikaze Minato said slowly, "Your status is special, as long as you are willing to go back, I believe Master Tsunade and the others will Accept yours again."

"Konoha yearns for peace, returning to Konoha, I believe it can better help you pursue your ideals."

"You can't go back, and it's hard to put a broken mirror back together." Naruto shook his head, "Once a crack occurs, it will never be healed."

"If I say that at the very beginning, I didn't actually have the idea of ​​leaving Konoha, but their various behaviors contributed to the formation of my idea, would you believe it?"

Namikaze Minato looked at him for a long time, then sighed slightly, "I see."

"Sorry, I said a lot of hurtful things to you, but I really hope that you can accept Konoha again."

"I have accepted Konoha several times, but Konoha has not accepted me." Naruto refused. Years of exclusion, indifference, and surveillance could not be changed in a few words.

"In addition, I have not seen what you call the consciousness of seeking peace from Konoha."

"I can only say this. All my current views on Konoha are gradually formed through events and experiences."

"Nothing is inevitable. What kind of cause is planted, what kind of fruit will be born."

"I have never experienced your suffering, so I am really not qualified to say these words." Namikaze Minato laughed at himself and shook his head.

"Goodbye." Naruto nodded slightly, turned and left.
