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

Chapter 62 Kawaii

Fugaku Uchiha is dead.

Naruto was not surprised at all.

But the lingering smile on the corpse's lips puzzled him.

Unless one is an elderly person, dying with a smile on one's face is, in his view, more like a surrender to fate.

This idea is very immature, but it's also recklessly stylish.

I may be lying down, but I refuse to accept my fate.

I disagree!

It perfectly reflects the mindset of contemporary young people.

Naruto doesn't like to judge other people's lives from a god-like perspective—unless they are his enemies. On the contrary, he enjoys it immensely, his mouth always seems to be laced with poison.

As a witness to the Internet age, Naruto knows very well that the struggle for interests is not actually terrible, because interests can be negotiated and divided.

Without considering the continuation of the race or the survival of the nation, most of the truly irreconcilable enemies are those born out of differences in ideology.

Like the Hundred Schools of Thought, political parties, and religions…

Therefore, from this perspective, the idea of ​​mutual understanding between people, advocated by the Six Paths, is actually the best trigger for igniting conflict.

Because we clearly understand the differences in our ideologies, we realize that if we cannot persuade the other party, then we can only destroy them in a practical way.

This is also why Naruto wasn't afraid of Madara Uchiha, because they shared the same ideals; the difference was that Naruto knew the Infinite Tsukuyomi was a trap.

Before human technology reaches a certain stage, absolute peace is impossible, but there is more than one way to achieve relative peace.

Perhaps I could research a ninjutsu that allows me to read my own memories, and then I could just throw a copy of Marxism-Leninism in Madara's face and let him see what the tide of the times really means.

Hmm, we'll have to ask Ino, that rich girl, for help with this...

With his mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, Naruto placed a white chrysanthemum in front of Fugaku's grave.

The ninja's funeral was extremely simple, with no mourning hall and no feast...

All that remained was the hatred in the eyes of the Uchiha and a few Cloud Village ninjas who came to offer their condolences.

Sasuke stood beside Mikoto, sobbing. When he saw Naruto looking over, he sniffled and stopped crying.

Naruto became interested and stopped moving, standing to the side and staring at Sasuke.

Sasuke kept a straight face, his eyes starting to redden again, trying hard not to cry.

A few seconds later, Sasuke couldn't hold back anymore, and tears welled up in his eyes again. Finally, to Naruto's astonishment, his pupils gradually turned crimson, and his two single-tomoe pearls slowly rotated.

Sensing this chilling eye power, several ninjas with sensory abilities turned to look.

"That's... the Sharingan?"

"Sasuke has awakened his Sharingan!"

Some of the Uchiha clan members around them looked excited, feeling that there was hope for the revival of the Uchiha clan.

"Isn't this child under six years old yet?"

"As expected of the son of the Fugaku clan chief!"

That makes sense, after all, your clan leader risked his life for it...

Naruto barely suppressed the urge to retort.

For this clan, the greatest joy must be opening their eyes to the world, right? Even the atmosphere of a funeral seems to have changed…

Naruto didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Mikoto, and left.

Two days later, news came from Konoha.

Danzo Shimura did not die.

Naruto was not surprised at all. With so many Root ninjas covering their retreat and wielding techniques like Izanagi, even without as many eyes as in the original story, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, due to the collusion among the elders, there was no basic accountability whatsoever, and the blame was entirely placed on the Uchiha clan.

It's said that Jiraiya had a huge argument with the Third Hokage because of this, and almost quit his job...

It was Mabui who told Naruto this news; A intended to train her to move from being an advisor to a decision-maker, so he retained her as a secretary.

She had been paying attention to people and news related to Naruto, so besides A, Naruto was the first to receive the news.

"According to Savaya, Danzo had already been killed by Fugaku at that time, and it's unclear why he survived..."

Mabui looked at Naruto: "Although I don't know how he did it, this kind of technique must have some kind of limitation or cost. Should we take this opportunity to send someone to completely eliminate him?"

Why kill him?

Naruto chuckled, "From Jinchuriki to the Uchiha, don't you think Konoha has been declining with him around?"

"Oh, this..."

Mabui paused, then said, "It seems that's really the case?"

"We'll take him down sooner or later."

Samui, who was maintaining his knives nearby, raised the blade with a cold and stern expression.

"It's not cool at all to let innocent children bear the blame."

"Samui is angry for Naruto, right?" Mabui said with a smile.

"I just can't stand it."

Samui glanced at Naruto and found that the other was staring at her expectantly.

The aloof and delicate woman turned her head away somewhat shyly: "Of course, there is indeed a tiny bit of a connection, just a little bit..."

Bang!

Naruto took a long box out of the sealing scroll and handed it to Samui.

"Shall we open it and take a look?"

Samui opened the box, and inside lay a long, pure white sword.

"This is…"

"Happy birthday!"

Naruto's azure eyes held a gentle smile: "The sword is named Shirayuki, and it was commissioned to be forged by craftsmen from the Land of Iron."

The chakra blade, modeled after the Zanpakuto Sode no Shirayuki, has excellent chakra conductivity, making it perfect for a cold beauty like Samui.

Samui's birthday is January 7th, which happens to be today, but unfortunately, I had to attend a funeral this morning.

Do you like it?

Naruto asked with a smile.

"It must be very valuable?"

Samui stared at the white longsword and asked.

"I have no interest in money."

Naruto's words were sincere and heartfelt.

He really has no interest in money. Whether it's living expenses or anything else, it's all funded by his good older brother.

Originally, I made a replica of Tensa Zangetsu to practice my sword skills, but when I chatted with Mabui, I learned that it was Samui's birthday, so I made another one.

Essentially, they are all chakra blades. Although these things are expensive, they are not ridiculously expensive. A single blade costs hundreds of thousands of taels, and a better one costs over a million.

"Thank you, I'll go home now."

Samui, carrying the knife case, got up and left.

Naruto and Mabui exchanged bewildered glances at her calm demeanor, unsure whether she liked or disliked her.

Soon, at Sam's house.

Bang!

With a long, round, snow-white leg, Samui kicked open the bedroom door and walked into the room carrying a knife box.

Inside the bedroom, the walls were covered with Naruto's photos and posters, and the bookshelves were filled with Naruto's albums and film reels.

On the messy bed were Naruto pillows of various sizes, and a huge Naruto doll with nine orange fox tails and slightly rough workmanship.

After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Samui found a knife rack, took out Snow White, and carefully placed it on the knife rack.

Then, with a cold face, he knelt in front of the knife rack, staring at it for a long time before suddenly getting up and throwing himself onto the bed piled with pillows, hugging a life-sized pillow and rolling around.

"Naruto, kawaii..."

"Kawaii kawaii kawaii kawaii—"
