Chapter 295: Ch. 295. Compared with heartache, this pain is nothing. [1]
Naruto:
- "State? What state?"
Following Hashirama's gaze, he lowered his head and looked at his body.
All he could see was that the skin on his palms, backs and arms was all bloody and bloody. He touched his face again, and the same thing happened:
- "Are you talking about my injuries?"
Hashirama said:
- "You have been eroded by the Kyuubi's chakra, you are seriously injured, and your whole body is in severe pain. You are no longer capable of doing anything else."
- "Give up!"
- "I'll give you two choices, either surrender without mercy and return to Konohagakure to be punished."
- "Or, I will pull out the Kyuubi from your body and you will die."
In Hashirama's eyes, any behavior that wants to destroy Konohagakure is not allowed.
Uchiha Madara can't do it, and Naruto can't do it even more.
If you don't give up, then you will die!
Naruto roared:
- "Severely injured?"
- "This little injury is nothing compared to the psychological damage caused by Sakura's death."
- "This little pain, what is it compared to the grief in my heart?!"
He was once hated by everyone. Although he was in pain, it was not as painful as it is today.
Although the injuries on his body were very serious, relying on «Heavenly Grudge» life force control, he could be healed in just 3 seconds.
But he didn't do that.
He did not treat the injury immediately, but felt the severe pain radiating from every inch of his body.
He punished himself for this.
Punish yourself for not protecting Sakura!
He looked up at Hashirama and said:
- "I don't know who you are, but today I must kill Orochimaru and Danzo."
Hashirama frowned:
- "This matter is probably a misunderstanding. Even if you want to kill someone, you have to find out the truth of the matter!"
- "Sakura died, so you put all the blame on Konoha. Isn't that unreasonable?"
- "Otherwise, let's investigate the matter first."
- "If it is true as you said, Sakura was framed and died by Konohagakure's elder officials, then I will help you seek justice, kill the people behind the scenes, and avenge Sakura."
- "If things are not what you think, and Sakura died because of an ordinary mission failure, then let's end the matter here and return to Konohagakure and continue to serve Konohagakure, how about that?"
- "I know that your father is the Yondaime Hokage Namikaze Minato. Isn't the village your father once protected with his life worthy of your continued protection?"
Hashirama already knew from Orochimaru that Naruto was the son of the Yondaime Hokage.
So he couldn't bear to kill Naruto.
He wanted to say a few more words, it would be best if it could help Naruto get back from his lost ways.
Naruto did not answer, but asked:
- "Who are you? Why can you help me seek justice?"
Hashirama was speechless. Didn't he just say that I created the people of Konohagakure?
Why is this Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki so stupid?
But facing Naruto's question, he could only answer:
- "I am the Shodai Hokage, Senju Hashirama!"
- "I created the Konohagakure. I only hope that this village will get better and better."
- "If it is true as you said, there is a high-level conspiracy to kill the ninjas in village, I will clean up the house without you having to do anything."
- "Whether it's Danzo or the current Godaime Hokage Orochimaru, I won't let him go."
Hearing this, Naruto not only did not believe it, but instead sneered:
- "Hmph, these are lies. Do you think I will still believe them?"
- "The Shodai Hokage is dead a long time ago. Besides, even if you are the Shodai Hokage, why should I trust you?"
- "Just the same conspirator as the Sandaime Hokage!"
Hashirama was filled with doubts.
He asked:
- "You were born and raised in Konohagakure, but why do you have so many prejudices against Konohagakure and Sandaime Hokage?"
Naruto roared:
- "Because everyone in Konohagakure hates me!"
- "They said I was a Demon Fox and that I killed their relatives and their parents..."
- "They isolated me. The way they looked at me was full of disgust and indifference. They wanted to kill me!"
- "How can I not be prejudiced in a village like this?!"
Hashirama said:
- "This is impossible!"
- "You are the son of the Yondaime Hokage. The Yondaime Hokage died to seal the Kyuubi. You are the Hero of Konohagakure."
- "You are the son of a hero. Even though the Kyuubi are sealed in your body, the villagers have no reason to hate you, let alone isolate you."
Naruto laughed:
- "Hahaha…"
And the laughter grew louder and louder until it finally resounded throughout the forest.
Naruto:
- "Why?"
- "Okay, I'll tell you today why."
- "Because Sandaime Hokage completely blocked the fact that I am the Yondaime Hokage's Son!"
- "Because, Danzo fabricated me as a Demon Fox and passed this news to the villagers, but Sandaime did not stop it!"
- "Because Sandaime Hokage wants to be the only light in my life and wants to completely control me in his hands."
Hashirama fell completely silent after hearing Naruto's words.
He didn't doubt Naruto's words.
During the Chunin Exam, Sandaime Hokage reincarnated Uchiha Shisui several times and used the «Kotoamatsukami» to control other people. He knew all this.
The Sandaime Hokage's rhetoric at that time was for Konohagakure.
But Hashirama knew that Sandaime Hokage had done whatever it took and was completely possessed by the devil.
Hashirama sighed:
- "I'm sorry for what happened to you, but Hiruzen Sarutobi has been killed by Mizuki. Your hatred has been avenged, and there is no need to mention the past again."
- "But you are the Yondaime's son after all, and you grew up in Konohagakure."
- "Your home should be Konohagakure."
- "I am the Shodai Hokage. If you come back to Konohagakure with me now, I will reveal your identity as the Yondaime Hokage's son. All the villagers will accept you and apologize to you."
- "When you master enough knowledge, I will let you become the Rokudaime Hokage. Do you think this is okay?"
