Naruto: Dragon Jinchūriki

No matter how far the war progressed, the tavern was still the same as before. There were not many customers for more than ten days. Only the Thousand-Armed Rope Tree, which was bruised and swollen every day, remained unchanged.

"Grandpa Zu, were you also so cruel when you taught my grandpa?" Shengshu cried sadly.

"cruel?"

"Isn't this cruel enough? I have to endure countless tortures every day!"

"That only means you're terrible!"

"My grandfather also practiced this way?"

After such a long period of training, the rope tree looks much more mature than before, but this question has been buried in his heart for a long time, and today he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"That boy Hashirama is not as useless as you."

"Then how long did it take my grandfather to complete this kind of training?"

"How long? He hasn't done this kind of training."

"what!"

"Ah what, what's all the fuss about."

"Then why do I do this kind of training!"

"There is no reason, because if I ask you to do it, you have to do it for me!"

Shengshu was speechless. This was an unanswerable answer. He couldn't disobey Helian Ye's request.

If you disobey your grandfather's request, you don't know what kind of punishment you will receive, so it's better not to try it.

Anyway, the rope tree is basically used to it now. He goes to the woods behind to fight with wild beasts every day. After the fight, he returns to the tavern with bruises all over his body. Helian treats him overnight and continues the next day.

This period of training has indeed made the rope tree feel improved. At least when facing those beasts, it will not be easily knocked away.

The current Rope Tree can handle it with ease even when faced with the siege of three beasts. It would be a bit difficult for four beasts, but he wouldn't be able to hold on with five beasts.

At least it was much better than running around in the woods when two wild beasts could chase him at the beginning, and he also began to pay great attention to the summary after the battle and find out his shortcomings.

On the second day, he would always conduct individual training on his weaknesses before going into the woods to fight with the wild beasts.

"Grandpa, you always say that Konoha is on the wrong path, but I still can't figure out where it is."

"Bad boy, have you been lazy during this time?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Then how do you have time to think about such useless things?"

Helian Ye's face looked very ugly. He originally thought that Naoshu had put down the matter of Konoha, but he didn't expect to bring it up again at this time.

"Konoha was always built in the hands of my two grandfathers, how could I forget it."

"So what? If you go wrong, you go wrong. It has nothing to do with who established it."

"But aren't my two grandfathers your students? If grandpa sees that Konoha is going in the wrong direction, why don't you help grandpa correct it?"

Although Nao Shu was no longer obsessed with returning to Konoha, when he went to bed every night, he would still think of the people and things in Konoha, and he would also think of what Helian said to him that night.

He tried again and again to find out what He Lianye said was wrong, but he could never find any direction. Occasionally, he would ask, but every time he would be scolded.

"Grandpa, just tell me, I promise! I will resolutely follow Grandpa's arrangements in the future!"

"You're too young!"

"You always say that! I'm no longer young, I've long been able to stand alone."

"you sure?"

"Very sure! Grandpa, I just want to know what is the peace that my two grandfathers have been guarding. Is it just to prevent war from happening?"

Seeing the appearance of Shengshu, Helianye stared at Shengshu's eyes tightly, as if trying to find something in his eyes.

Shengshu was also stared at and felt a little nervous, but he did not dare to speak. He was afraid that Helianye would deal with him, so he could only wait silently for Helianye to speak.

"Well, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."

"really?"

"of course it's true."

"Great!"

"Why are you making such a fuss? Do you still want to hear it?"

Helianye's expression changed, and Shengshu immediately became quiet, eagerly waiting for Helianye's explanation.

"I remember telling that boy Hashirama that true peace is impossible to achieve. At best, we can only achieve limited peace."

"why is that?"

"It's very simple, because no one can erase the desires of others. As long as there are desires in the ninja world, there will still be fights."

"Well, what is limited peace?"

"Let me ask you a question first, what do you think peace looks like?"

“What does peace look like?”

"Yes, what peace should look like."

Shengshu couldn't react for a while. He had never thought about what peace should look like. He only knew that peace meant the absence of fighting.

"If there is peace, there should be no more fighting, right?"

"But as I said just now, as long as people's desires are still there, there will still be fights. How can we make the fights disappear?"

"Make the fight disappear? Use your strongest strength to make no one dare to resist!"

Helianye shook his head. This answer reminded him of that time. Zhu Jian had a similar reaction at that time, and the answers were also very similar.

"Is not it?"

"Can you suppress it for a moment? Can you suppress it forever?"

"Grandpa, can't you do it too?"

"I just live a long life, not immortality."

Shengshu fell silent. He had always thought that his grandfather had achieved immortality. After all, he had not seen any changes in his grandfather since he was a child.

But now his grandfather has personally admitted that he is not immortal, but his lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, although he has no idea how much this much is.

"What should I do?"

"This is the meaning of the limited peace I told you. Let all fights stay within a limited range and no longer spread. In this case, at least for civilians, it will be peaceful."

"So grandpa and the others established Konoha so that the war would only happen between ninja villages and ninja villages?"

"Yes."

"Then why did Grandpa Grandpa say that Konoha is heading in the wrong direction?"

"Because the structure of Ninja Village still has not controlled the war. Although the scope of the war is smaller than during the Warring States Period, it is still small and limited."

"But didn't you say that only limited peace can be achieved? As long as the scope of the war is controlled, isn't it true that the goal has been achieved?"

Helianye shook his head again. As expected of Zhujian's grandson, the rope tree was indeed very similar to Zhujian in many ideas, but this was not the answer Helianye wanted.

Even though Hashirama gathered the ninjas in the form of a ninja village, ninjas are still weapons. They are weapons in the hands of the great names of the country. As long as they still have weapons in their hands, they will always want to start a war.

This is just like once a person has money, he will think about how to spend the money. Although there will be some misers, they are a very small number after all.
