Konoha: There is definitely something wrong with these Sharingan eyes

Ryusuke did not join Hatake Sakumo's team. He returned to Konoha with the large army. The battle with the Sand Ninja has not yet fully started, and there is no need to accumulate troops on the front line for the time being. Moreover, as the first person to participate in the battle in the Kingdom of Rain, it is time for him to rest and adjust.

Back at the entrance of the village, Ryusuke did not accept the grand triumphal ceremony celebration with the large troops, but went straight to Konoha Ninja Hospital with the wounded.

Uchiha also turned a corner, separated from the lively cheering team, and went back to the Uchiha clan to report to the great elder.

The Konoha Ninja Hospital is noisy. There are injured people everywhere. The medical ninjas are very busy and short of manpower. It was not easy for Ryusuke to find Mikoto. Mikoto carefully applied medicine to him and put on gauze to wrap it up. Then Ryusuke asked: "Naoki, how is he?"

Mikoto was silent for several seconds, then said a little lowly: "It's not good... Naoki can't continue to be a ninja..."

Ryusuke was not surprised. With the injury of the rope tree, it was no longer possible to perform ninja missions. "Then where is he now? Is he awake?"

"Well, he woke up not long after receiving treatment and is now recuperating in the last ward on the sixth floor." Mikoto pursed her lips and sighed softly, "This was a big blow to him, and he was completely lost. The same soul..."

"Well, then I'll go take a look at him. Don't worry. Go and do your work. Don't work yourself too hard." Ryusuke patted Mikoto on the shoulder, said a few words, and then quickly stepped onto the stairs, hurriedly Go up to the sixth floor.

When he came to the end of the corridor, Ryusuke saw Shikaku, Zhiwei, and Zha sitting on chairs outside the ward. They were sitting there in a daze. It wasn't until Ryusuke walked up to Zhiwei that he realized there was someone in front of him. He raised his head and took a look, a little surprised, and said dullly: "Are you injured?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Ryusuke did not push the door directly in, but sat down next to Zhiwei and asked: "How is Shengshu's mood?"

Zhiwei replied: "Becoming Hokage is Naoki's dream, so... he is in a very bad mood, and it will probably take a long time to accept it."

"Yeah, let me go in and have a look..."

Ryusuke stood up and nodded towards everyone who was blaming himself. Without knocking on the door of the ward, he pushed the door directly in and saw the rope tree lying on the hospital bed.

Shengshu was lying on the bed, his body covered with gauze, with only one face exposed, like a mummy, motionless, his eyes looking at the white ceiling blankly.

The broken left leg was particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, Roden Tree." Ryusuke walked to the bed and called softly. Ryusuke clearly saw that when he made a sound, the body of Naoki on the bed shook slightly.

Naoki's dull eyes that had lost their color trembled for a moment, then slowly turned around to look at Ryusuke.

"You look so embarrassed..." Ryusuke looked at the rope tree and chuckled softly.

"Ryuusuke..." Looking at the companion he wanted to catch up with, Naoki finally couldn't help crying, "I...I'm finished..."

"Fart, why is it over?" Ryusuke comforted him.

"My leg... my leg... is broken... I won't be a ninja anymore..." Naoki sobbed, unable to speak a complete sentence.

"Fart, it's not like you're dead, so what's the pain?" Ryusuke retorted mercilessly.

"But, but, I can't be a ninja!"

"Will you die if you are not a ninja? Does Konoha Hidden Village have more ninjas or non-ninjas? Does this world have more ninjas or civilians?"

Naoki didn't expect Ryusuke to say that. This series of questions made him speechless for a while and he didn't know how to answer. The friends outside the ward were also a little surprised.

"There must be more civilians. According to you, they are all doomed and have no hope. They should all be complaining and crying day and night?"

Naoki just stared at Ryusuke blankly, unable to say a word.

"You can't answer, right? Because they are all dead, and they are all alive and well. Why did the first Hokage create Konoha? Is it to cultivate more ninjas and let everyone become ninjas? You should be the most It is clear, but the answer is definitely not. The first Hokage-sama wants to make everyone happy and live a peaceful life, not to fight as a ninja. Are you right?"

Naoshu responded blankly and stopped crying.

"Ninjas are amazing. But civilians are also amazing. Think about it carefully, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the house you live in, the road you walk, the kunai you use, and what is your favorite Their forehead protectors and vests are all created by them. Without these things they created, ninjas are nothing. So, besides ninjas, aren’t other people also great people, don’t you think?”

"Well, well, that seems to be the case." Shengshu replied calmly.

"That's right, why are you giving up on yourself? There are still many important things waiting for you to do. Think about it again, think about your sister, think about your grandma, they are all caring about you , thinking about you. As the only man in the family, you should be their support. Are you unwilling to cheer up for them, or do you still feel that you are finished? "

Shengshu stopped talking, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and the expression on his face also changed.

Ryusuke took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Besides, you are still alive, Noshu. How many people died on the battlefield, from the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Wind, there are countless people. There are many people older than We are still young. You should have seen it and experienced it, and you should understand how luxurious it is to live. Living is victory, and it is the only victory!"

"Living is the only victory..." Roe Tree murmured to himself, repeating this sentence.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, so I won't disturb your rest. However, I will say one last thing - don't let me underestimate you, Rope Tree."

Ryusuke gently patted Naoki's shoulder, turned around and left coolly, but heard Naoki behind him say: "Thank you, bastard Ryusuke."

Ryusuke felt relieved, laughed twice, waved and walked out.

After coming out, I found three more people in the corridor: Tsunade Hime who looked anxious and worried, Uzumaki Mito who was full of worry, and the red-haired girl holding Uzumaki Mito's right hand - Uzumaki Kushina.

Tsunade hurriedly rushed into the ward. She had just returned from the battlefield, and before she could enjoy the cheers of victory when she returned to Konoha, she was told that her brother was seriously injured and was hospitalized. She ran home anxiously, picked up her grandma, and went to see the rope tree together.

Uzumaki Mito, who rarely leaves the Senju clan, had to walk out of the house "abnormally" when he heard that his grandson was seriously injured and went to the hospital to visit him. Mito Uzumaki was an adult after all, with a calm personality. He did not rush into the ward and waited outside the door for Ryusuke to open the rope tree.

"Thank you, Ryusuke." Uzumaki Mito expressed his gratitude to Ryusuke very sincerely.

Ryusuke replied very politely: "You're welcome, I'm a friend of the rope tree, and everything is what I should do. Come in quickly and don't worry about us."

"Okay, excuse me." Uzumaki Mito pulled Kushina into the ward.

Ryusuke was still sitting next to Zhiwei. Seeing that Lu Jiu and the others all looked remorseful, he couldn't help but say: "Hey, hey, hey, you guys don't have to be so disappointed. It's good to be alive. On the battlefield Going up, being injured and dying, aren’t they normal things?”

Inuzuka Claw hugged Kuromaru and huddled on the chair, saying in a low voice: "Yes, it's a normal thing. It's just that when I think about my lack of strength that the rope tree was injured, I feel... unhappy. It feels so good.”

"You guys..." Ryusuke scratched the back of his head and suddenly felt a little irritable, "Forget it, I don't care about you, you guys can probably adjust on your own. Let's go, I'm going back to sleep."

Ryusuke didn't wait for his friend's reply, he stood up and left, very coolly.

The friends looked at each other with wry smiles, and finally Shikaku said: "Ryuusuke is right. It won't help if we gather here to regret and blame ourselves. Let's all go back. Next, we will probably have to fight on the battlefield. You have to seize the time to become stronger."

"Well, let's go."

The friends then entered the ward, visited the rope tree one more time, and then went home.
