Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 49

“Isn’t that right? There are too many countries and ninja villages in the ninja world, which is why wars happen. If we unify the ninja world and achieve unification, then wars will no longer occur,” Naruto said, raising an eyebrow.

This was confirmed in his dream memories.

A unified country can often enjoy peace for hundreds of years.

Compared to launching a Ninja World War or small-scale skirmishes between ninja villages every ten or twenty years, this is a far cry from the past.

This is clearly an advantage.

"The harm of war is too great. Do you understand how many people will die if we do this, Naruto?" The Third Hokage felt that Naruto's thoughts were dangerous. He even thought of one person: Uchiha Madara!

Why would Naruto think that way?

"It's worth sacrificing for peace. To use the lives of one generation to create decades or even centuries of peace for the future, even if it means sacrifice, is something I'm willing to do," Naruto said earnestly.

In his dream, he remembered that there really was a generation that sacrificed their lives to create decades of peace for future generations.

"Don't bring up such dangerous ideas again. The purpose of our ancestors in creating the ninja village was so that future generations could live in peace," the Third Hokage said, frowning.

Naruto pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, but he felt that his idea was correct.

The country in my dreams and memories has proven that this is the right direction.

It's abnormal that the ninja world has so many divided nations these days.

As for the peace mentioned by the three generations.

Naruto looked at Konoha Village at this moment, even though they had won a battle.

Destroyed houses, dead and wounded ninjas and villagers—have they achieved peace?

What are the First, Second, and Third Shinobi World Wars anyway?

If it's because of fear of war that other ninjas die and are sacrificed.

If he is powerful enough to conquer the other countries and achieve unification by himself, then that should be enough, right?

Naruto, still quite young, begins to contemplate how to pacify the ninja world after the invasion of Konoha.

He began to truly grow up.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan's base was located on the edge of Konoha and was not invaded or damaged, which saved Sasuke a lot of money on repairs.

The time that followed was sorrowful.

The village began to restore the buildings damaged during the invasion and held a mass funeral for the ninjas who died during the invasion.

Naruto and Sasuke, dressed in black, silently walked toward the memorial stone.

As they passed by the villagers, the villagers bowed slightly in the direction of Naruto and Sasuke.

The bowing here is not because of Naruto's identity.

"Thank you, young master Naruto and young master Sasuke, for defeating that tailed beast."

"Yes, thanks to the two young masters, the village was spared from massive destruction."

"If it weren't for the two young masters' timely intervention, my family's newly renovated general store would probably have been crushed to dust by that furry big guy." An aunt wearing a blue apron wiped the corner of her eye, her voice still filled with lingering fear.

An elderly man said tremblingly, "If it weren't for the two young masters standing in front of us, the memorial tablet would probably have been filled with even more names."

A little girl with pigtails ran timidly to the two of them, clutching a candy in her hand. She said, "Brother Naruto, this is for you. My mom said that you chased away the bad thing that eats houses, so my doll wasn't buried in the ruins."

She tilted her rosy cheeks up, her eyes sparkling, and said, "From now on, I want to be like you and Sasuke, learn amazing skills, and protect the village!"

Sasuke paused slightly, his eyes catching a glimpse of the little girl's clothes fluttering in the wind, and his tightly pursed lips seemed to soften for a moment.

Naruto smiled gently and said, "Then we'll take it."

He took the candy from the girl's hand and patted her head.

With a candy the little girl had just given him in his mouth, Naruto said somewhat indistinctly, "Sasuke, I've figured something out."

Sasuke responded vaguely, "What?"

"If we want to maintain peace, we still need to achieve unification," Naruto said calmly, stating his thoughts.

"Unification?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow and widened his eyes slightly, seemingly shocked by Naruto's statement.

No one had ever told him about such a grand prospect, and he had never thought about it before.

His thoughts were the same as everyone else's: if someone invaded Konoha, he would drive the invaders away.

His mind was bound.

Besides, this is not something 12-year-olds should be thinking about.

After all, his greatest wish was to kill Itachi, avenge his parents, avenge his clan, and revive the Uchiha clan.

He hadn't yet considered something as profound as unifying the ninja world.

“Hmm.” Naruto nodded. “I talked to the Third Hokage about this, but he said it would cause a lot of casualties among our other comrades, so I thought…”

He turned to Sasuke and said, "If we can do this with our own strength, then no other ninjas will have to die."

Sasuke's lips curled slightly. Naruto's words made his heart pound. Could he pacify the entire ninja world all by himself?

His fists clenched involuntarily; only Naruto would say something like that!

"Yes, you're right, I'll do this with you!" Sasuke nodded solemnly.

Naruto smiled with relief. He was truly a good brother who would support him in times of trouble.

The atmosphere here was silent. Not a single ninja spoke. Everyone held white chrysanthemums and silently paid tribute to their comrades who had sacrificed their lives in the counterattack.

Finally, the Third Hokage said a few words to end the worship ceremony.

"Wherever leaves flutter, there will be fire burning, and that firelight will illuminate the village, and then new leaves will sprout again!"

After the ceremony, Hinata bowed slightly to Hiashi Hyuga, left the Hyuga clan's group, and walked towards Naruto.

"Sigh, is my sister going to my brother-in-law's again?" Hanabi tilted her head and looked at Hinata's back as she spoke.

Hiashi Hyuga looked in Naruto's direction, remaining silent. He knew about the events of the counterattack.

Naruto defeated Shukaku and Orochimaru, resolving the two biggest problems. In Konoha, he is probably the strongest person there now.

He's so young!

He was somewhat glad that he had listened to the Third Hokage and hadn't hindered Hinata and Naruto's relationship.

If Hinata and Naruto got married, the Hyuga clan could have enjoyed another hundred years of glory!

"Let's go back." After saying that, Hiashi Hyuga led the Hyuga family back.

Naruto then repeated his thoughts to Hinata.

Hinata solemnly declared that she would always follow in Naruto's footsteps.

This warmed Naruto's heart, and he couldn't help but pat Hinata's little head. This girl is so cute.

Chapter 76 The So-Called Perfect Jinchūriki

Naruto re-enters the sealed space.

The fox inside him started acting up again, actually preventing him and his grandfather Fukasaku from entering Sage Mode together.

How can this be allowed?

He had to find out what the Nine-Tails was up to.

On the grassland under blue skies and white clouds.

A large fox is watching television intently.

Naruto snapped his fingers, and the television that was playing immediately turned off.

This greatly displeased Nine-Tails, as no one likes to have their power suddenly cut off while they're watching a show.

"Kid, what are you up to?" Kurama glared at Naruto and said angrily.

"What are you up to?" Naruto retorted without hesitation. "Grandpa Fukasaku wants to help me train in Sage Mode, so why are you resisting him!"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly, raised its head, and swung its nine tails: "I hate toads! I don't want to share a room with them!"

"Besides, you already have my chakra, so why would you need to learn Sage Mode!"

"Although the Four Symbols Seal can slowly convert your chakra into mine, it's too slow. Sage Mode can greatly enhance my strength," Naruto said, scratching his head.

After studying sealing techniques, although he couldn't master all of them at once, he still knew the effects of those techniques.

The Four Symbols Seal on his body can convert the Nine-Tails' chakra into his own.

But this is being done slowly.

"Hmph, I will absolutely not let that toad in!" Nine-Tails snorted coldly.

"Hmm?" Naruto narrowed his eyes, instantly transforming from blond hair into a fox.

"Nine-Tails, are you jealous?"

"Woof woof woof...*##￥****￥#%#." The Nine-Tailed Fox's words were very unpleasant, and the sound was automatically muted.

Naruto scratched his head, looking a little troubled: "Although I'm very happy that Kurama likes me so much, I need power right now. Maintaining Sage Mode for a long time is exactly what I need."

Nine-Tailed Fox gritted its teeth. "That brat, did he even listen to what he just said?"

Who's jealous? Who likes him?

You delusional brat!

But it was also a little puzzled: "With your current strength, even that third-generation kid is probably no match for you, so why do you say you still need power?"

Naruto explained his thoughts to Kurama.

"Unification?" The Nine-Tailed Fox chewed on the word, revealing a mocking smile. "Hmph, what a naive brat."

“Since the Warring States period, the killing in the ninja world has never stopped. Hatred has long been planted in everyone’s heart, and resentment and hatred have spread throughout the entire ninja world.”

"In this situation, how can you achieve unification and get everyone to put aside their hatred?"

He was a collection of resentment and hatred, and he was well aware of how terrible these negative emotions were.

“Once I’m dead, these emotions will stop!” Naruto said calmly.

Nine-Tailed Fox's pupils contracted, and he said incredulously, "Do you want to kill everyone in the world?"

He thought he was evil enough, but he never expected that the blond kid in front of him was the real evil brat!

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly do such a thing!" Naruto rolled his eyes at Kurama and said irritably.

"I mean time, time!"

"Human hearts are complex. Who can eliminate all the hatred in the hearts of everyone in the world? It's impossible."

"That's impossible, but if we can achieve complete unification and everyone is bound by rules and regulations, they will restrain their actions and reduce the sources of hatred."

"Time is the most powerful force. As long as I can achieve unification, I can maintain world peace for hundreds of years."

"Then the hatred in people's hearts will become a rootless source. If there is hatred in the hearts of one or two generations, what about three, four, or even more generations later?"

"As long as the killing stops, time will eventually wash away all the emotions."

"On the contrary, if the ninja world continues like this, the hatred between individuals will escalate to the collective, and then to the entire country, and another ninja war will be launched, and then the hatred will continue endlessly."

After hearing Naruto's words, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) fell silent, a rare occurrence.

He pondered Naruto's words, and after a long while, he said, "Who can guarantee that after unification, there won't be another division?"

"I can't guarantee that!" Naruto answered truthfully.

"As I said, the human heart is complex, and everyone has emotions and desires that cannot be erased. But at least this peaceful environment can remain stable for hundreds of years. I will ensure this peaceful environment before I die!" Naruto said, spreading his hands.

"But I believe that with hundreds of years of peace, hatred will be greatly reduced, which is much better than the current era where a Shinobi World War is launched every ten or twenty years!"

Kurama gave Naruto a deep look: "You brat, you actually have such depth of thought?"

He's absolutely phenomenal.

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. These were all things he had seen in his dream memories, but some of them were things he had come up with after thinking about them.

"Why are you telling me this? You've now researched sealing techniques, which can strengthen the seal and completely isolate me. I won't be able to affect your cultivation of Sage Mode," Nine-Tails said.

“I could do that, but I don’t want to!” Naruto said.

Kurama stared at Naruto: "Why?"
