Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 40 The Whirlpool Zhuangzi

"Daydreaming...what's wrong with that?"

Hearing Naruto's words, Obito's gaze became somewhat fixed, and he murmured softly, "This world is inherently full of falsehood and despair..."

"You are the only one who is fake, and you are the only one who is desperate."

Before Obito could finish speaking, clone number four looked up at the sky and instinctively retorted.

Like the original Naruto, Naruto's skills are mostly in his mouth.

The difference is that the Crown Prince uses verbal persuasion, while he uses verbal attacks... his main goal is to completely destroy the enemy!

"Knowledge and wisdom are the main means by which people understand the world, which is also known as perspective."

"However, knowledge is infinite, and people's perspectives change with their experiences, gaining different insights at different stages of life."

"Today's wise sayings may seem like absurdities tomorrow, but perhaps one day in the future, we can gain a deeper understanding from them. This can be said to be an inevitable path for the growth of the human mind."

"Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very foolish thing to make a subjective judgment about something at a certain stage, based on strong personal emotions."

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless; all things grow, autumn harvests and winter stores; the sun and moon revolve, yin and yang, the four elements; in governing the world and managing the country, there are scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants; may I ask, which of these do you understand? How many books have you read? How dare you define the world?"

Obito was dumbfounded.

If Naruto talks to him about emotional issues, he can say a few words.

But he really didn't understand what Naruto was saying...

"I may not understand, but so what? Even if I did understand, what could I change?!"

A blush crept up Obito's ears, and he felt as if he had returned to the time when Kakashi mocked him.

The difference is that this brat is even more annoying than Kakashi!

That mouth seemed to be coated with poison, constantly stabbing into people's hearts.

"Ignorant and self-righteous, no wonder Lin doesn't like you."

Clone Number Four chuckled, while the other three clones also burst into laughter.

The childish yet piercing laughter echoed from all four directions, and in the center of the chain net, Obito's head visibly turned red again.

"Have you three still not come up with a solution?"

Clone Number Four looked at the other three: "If it doesn't work, why don't we just use our hands to pry it off?"

Tell me the answer!!!

Before his other clones could speak, Obito began to roar wildly.

"Damn brat... no, Naruto Uzumaki, you're definitely not an ordinary brat! Since you said that, there must be an answer, right?!"

Tell me! What do you know?

"You want this eye, right? Here you go! I'll give you everything! Just tell me!"

"Oh?"

Clone Number One's eyes lit up: "Can mere words achieve this effect?"

"What talk? This is philosophy!"

Clone Number Four arrogantly tossed his head: "I am a philosophical clone who inherited all the travel experiences and life insights of the original body. From now on, please call me Whirlpool Zhuangzi!"

Clone Number One nodded: "Okay, Whirlpool Stump, please answer his questions and, while you're at it, gouge out his eyes."

What a strange tree stump...

Zhuangzi sighed, "Alright, feel free to ask any questions you may have."

"You say Infinite Tsukuyomi is a pipe dream, but if you knew what you just said, would that change the world? In a world filled with hatred and war, how do you expect to eliminate the hatred between people?!"

The question, uttered in a Japanese accent, carried a clear sense of urgency.

Seeing Zhuangzi walking towards him, he suddenly struggled again.

"Don't come any closer! I've already pre-programmed Izanagi. Once activated, this eye will be completely ruined! But the technique can be canceled before it's activated. Tell me your answer first!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited."

Zhuangzi quickly stopped in his tracks. Since it could be cancelled, everything was negotiable.

"Let me give you the answer first: all the pain and hatred in the ninja world ultimately boils down to a problem of political system."

Obito frowned: "Political system?"

"That's right. In essence, war is an extension of politics, and politics is the pursuit of interests."

Zhuangzi explained slowly and deliberately, trying to make Xian Er understand his meaning.

"Individual interests, collective rights, the ambitions of those in power, unequal distribution of resources, etc., can all be factors that ignite war."

"In wars filled with bloodshed and violence, people's evil intentions are amplified with the killing, thus giving rise to more hatred and suffering."

As Zhuangzi spoke, he shook his head slightly.

"Hatred, pain... that's for sure. If the ninjas didn't hate each other and fight each other, how could those daimyo and nobles sleep soundly?"

"So they say that ninjas are just tools to complete missions, and those who don't follow mission rules are trash. The most ridiculous thing is that, as the targets of psychological manipulation, the ninja community actually has a surprisingly high degree of agreement with this statement..."

"PUA is..."

"You're saying I should thank you for slapping you?"

Obito's eyes twitched, and as he thought about it, he gradually realized what was going on.

"That's why I didn't become a ninja. I could single-handedly eliminate famine worldwide, so why should I be a tool for missions? Am I starved for love?"

Zhuangzi shrugged, and Obito was speechless.

"You ask me if the knowledge I possess can make the world a better place... The answer is yes!"

"But this is too complicated to explain. First, the ninja world must be unified. Second, laws, technology, people's livelihood, education and other aspects must be developed in tandem. It involves a huge amount of knowledge and work. It would take three days and three nights to explain it all, so I won't go into details."

"You ask me if hatred can be eradicated, the answer is no, but it can be prevented from continuing through law and education."

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Obito was in a daze, feeling that his worldview had been severely impacted.

It's like an engineer finding a problem with a circuit diagram, spending ages looking for the issue, only to be told by someone that it's a musical staff—it's fundamentally wrong.

"So... the ninja village system was wrong from the start, ninjas shouldn't have existed in the first place, all of this was wrong from the beginning?"

The child has become obsessed...

Zhuangzi sighed heavily: "We can't be too absolute. People in every era have their own missions, and right and wrong must be considered in the context of the times."

"For the Warring States period, the ninja village system was undoubtedly a step forward. Even though it turned chaotic fighting into a larger-scale war, it is undeniable that it established order from chaos, which is a great step forward for any form of civilization."

"As for ninjas... they're not much different from mercenaries. There's still market demand, but there's no need to insist on doing this line of work. Isn't making movies more lucrative than doing missions?"

"And even if the path of a ninja is destined to be filled with killing and death, wasn't it your own choice?"

"What? You can be a hero, but you can't stand the pain? You get all the benefits, huh?"

Why did you become a ninja?
