Naruto Sakaki

Chapter 23 Jiraiya's Decision
on the way back.

Sakaki and Jirai also paced side by side, but there was a distance of more than one foot between them, as if some force prevented them from approaching.

Jiraiya was all over his body, exuding a strong courage, and asked: "Sakaki, what were you doing just now?"

"Absorb Chakra!" Sakaki didn't seem to feel anything, with a smile that didn't change a bit, "It can also be said to be 'eating' Chakra."

"The reason why you don't eat normal food is because you eat chakra?"

"That's right!"

"So, that's why you shot at that man just now?"

"Well... that's it, I'm 'hungry' and want to 'eat' Chakra, and he happens to have Chakra on him..."

"Hungry? Then what will happen if you don't 'eat' Chakra?"

"Probably similar to people who starve to death if they don't eat!"

"Why did that man suddenly grow old?"

"After absorbing the chakra on the opponent's body, and then absorbing a little more chakra of the yang attribute that I want most, the absorbed person will become old."

"So, if I don't come to stop you, what will happen to that man?"

"Death!" Sakaki replied very honestly.

"Aren't you going to take his life without absorbing all his Chakra?"

"so what?"

"Don't you think it's too cruel?"

"Cruel? An existence like a ninja relies on his own power to act recklessly, dominate everything, and do whatever he wants. Even if he is 'punished', it is only because of his lack of power, not because of what he has done. Punishment! So to be fair, I just dominated the opponent with a stronger force than the opponent under the rules set by the ninja."

This is the answer that Sakaki came up with for ninjas after witnessing and experiencing many things in the war-torn land of rain.

As for why I heard a few laundry women chatting about a bully ninja coming to their village during the day, wantonly oppressing the villagers, even directly killing the whole family of a certain villager, and a dove occupying the magpie's nest, Sakaki definitely never Never heard of it!
Having said that, after the chakra was absorbed by the sakaki tree, the man lost the power to act recklessly, and was beaten to death by the resentful villagers the next day!

Jiraiya also heard Sakaki's answer, and the courage exuding from his body became more and more frightening. For the first time, he really felt the horror of Sakaki.

Jirai has also seen the scene of Sakaki sucking up snakes, and I heard from Tsunade that Sakaki has the ability to absorb chakra, but I don't think there is anything abrupt about it.

After all, it happened on the battlefield, where countless ninjutsu for the purpose of killing each other bombarded each other. Compared with this, Sakaki's absorption ability seemed to be nothing special.

However, he discovered that the absorption ability of the sakaki tree is not used to kill people, but to 'eat' chakra.

This may sound awkward, but it can be understood in this way.

When a person wants to kill, he can have various reasons, such as self-defense, protecting his companions and other legitimate reasons to kill someone, he can understand it, just like he did when he unlocked Nagato before.

If it is a negative reason, if a person wants to kill another person, he can also stop it, or even guide the other person to be kind and not to kill.

But what if one just wants to 'eat' chakra?How can he stop it?How to guide?Tell him not to 'eat', to starve to death?

The reality of needing to 'eat' chakra, coupled with the cold personality shown in the answer, the child Sakaki is very, very dangerous.

Jiraiya also thought of this, and Tsunade's exhortation could not help echoing in his ears.

——If this child shows a hostile attitude towards Konoha, I hope you can make a timely decision!I have a feeling that this kid will be a very scary existence, and I don't want him to become Konoha's enemy!
The child Sakaki is really scary, do you want to make a decision?

Jiraiya stared closely at Sakaki, and asked the last question: "Sakaki, you've 'eaten' a lot of people's chakra, right? What happened to those people in the end?"

"Indeed, there are quite a few of them. Those people are basically dead... Uh, Mr. Jiraiya, don't look at me so scary, as if I have done something terrible! Actually speaking, compared to killing people, it's like A powerful ninja like Jiraiya-sensei must have much more experience than me.

It's the same killing, teacher, you have killed more people, and your companions in Muye Village have killed more people, but why can you look at me with such an expression?Can you ignore the reality of killing yourself just because of the legitimate reasons of guarding, defending, bloody fighting, etc., or some barely-speaking past reasons such as war? "

Faced with Sakaki's counterattack, Jiraiya took a deep breath and replied, "I have never ignored the reality of killing myself. No matter what the reason is, killing is always wrong!"

"Know that killing is always wrong, but you can't stop killing, right?"

"This is a reality that I cannot deny! But as your teacher, I have the obligation to guide you in a direction that is at least not bad!"

Jiraiya's courage reached its peak, and he stretched out a powerful hand towards Sakaki.

Sakaki's eyes were serious, and he was ready to fight: If you can't be persuaded, do you want to start?Then let's fight, don't think that he will be caught without a fight!
"Absorb my chakra!" Jiraiya's guidance is not resorting to violence.

"What does it mean?"

"You should not be 'full' yet, so what are you waiting for, my chakra is for you!"

Facing the big hand that Jiraiya stretched out, Sakaki directly held it with his hand, and Jiraiya's big hand came back, and the grip was very heavy.

absorb!

Strands of chakra gushed out of Jiraiya's hands, and after being absorbed by the fruit core, they transformed into four-color chakras of red, yellow, blue and blue.

After 'eating' that man's chakra just now, the still unsatisfactory 'hunger' finally disappeared, and Sakaki showed a slightly satisfied expression.

At this time, Sakaki suddenly felt that the Chakra transmitted from Jiraiya's hand was getting less and less, until a little Chakra could not be absorbed.He increased the power of absorption, but still couldn't absorb Chakra.

Jiraiya is such a powerful ninja, it's impossible to only have such a little chakra, and looking at Jiraiya's energetic appearance, how can he look like a person who has been drained of chakra?

"Sakaki, is that enough?"

"Why, I can't absorb your chakra anymore?"

Jiraiya withdrew his hand, his face showing a sense of relief that most of the problems had been solved, he explained: "I transferred all the chakras near the arm, so you can't suck chakra, and only need willpower Enough, if you control the stability of Chakra, it will become very difficult for you to absorb it."

Sakaki thought silently: So, is this the weakness of the ability to absorb chakra?

After a few days, Jiraiya was pleasantly surprised to find that the chakra that was sucked away by the sakaki tree recovered again, although the recovery time was longer than that required for chakra normally consumed by performing ninjutsu. Many times.

In this way, in Jiraiya's eyes, the threat and harm of Sakaki's ability to 'eat' chakra has been reduced countless times.

Jiraiya also thought: If he can be properly guided and some of his thoughts can be changed, Sakaki will be able to find a way to live in harmony with others.

Zilai also thought so, and really worked so hard.

"From now on, Sakaki, you can 'eat' my chakra. The chakra you get from hurting others is not sweeter than the chakra you get from me, right?"

"Sakaki, if you really need to 'eat' other people's chakra, I hope you can understand that this is a kind of harm. Some people you may be able to punish, but others you cannot harm anyway."

"Sakaki, think about it..."

In fact, Jiraiya doesn’t preach much. When encountering many things, he will not blindly teach Sakaki and them how to do it based on his experience, or affirm this or deny that. Actions, with his heart, with his slightly confused but absolutely bright smile to guide them to get the answer.

The effect of this set on Sakaki is unknown, but Jiraiya's painstaking efforts were not in vain on Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. They have really achieved considerable growth, and it is the kind that Jiraiya hopes to see. growing up.

——That is the seed of light and the hope of change.One day in the future, the seeds will grow into towering trees, and hope will spread throughout the world.
