Chapter 465: Naruto and Sasuke's Choice, the Teachings of a Loving Father
Ninety-nine percent of Naruto and Sasuke's chakra was drained away. When they woke up, they felt very weak, powerless and very hungry.
Fortunately, the Minato couple had already prepared food, and the two of them survived after wolfing down the food.
"Almost all the chakra in my body is gone, and Ashura's chakra is gone too..." Naruto felt that he had become much weaker. Before, he could sense Ashura's chakra.
"It's the same for me. Not only is Indra's chakra gone, but even the power in my eyes is gone..." Sasuke covered his dim Rinnegan with his hand, and the six magatama inside had completely disappeared!
"That evil guy, he took away our power!"
Both of them looked very ugly.
"That's not the case. We all misunderstood Liuyun Jun. He is not evil. He..."
Before Minato Namikaze could finish his words, Naruto couldn't help but interrupt him: "Dad, are you crazy..."
"Just listen to what I have to say first..."
Minato told the two of them all the information he learned from Liuyun.
"What! He told you all these things? Is he lying to you..." Naruto's face was full of disbelief.
Sasuke was very calm. Although Minato's words shocked him, he would not blindly deny that Uncle Liuyun. He would only objectively analyze the rationality and truthfulness of these words:
"Naruto, what Uncle Liuyun said might be true. Do you remember that the Sage of Six Paths once said that his mother Kaguya... came from outer space?"
Hearing Sasuke's question, Naruto immediately calmed down, and then nodded solemnly. He had indeed heard from the Six Paths Sage that the Otsutsuki clan came from outer space, and that people of this race were basically not good people.
"Son...you have to understand one fact. Our life and death, and even the life and death of the entire world, all depend on his thoughts. What good will it do him to deceive me? We can't help him in any way..." Minato said with a sigh.
In his opinion, Liuyun was willing to share these things with him simply because she respected him.
"..."
Naruto was speechless after hearing his father's words.
"You two are only alive thanks to your mother... If it weren't for the relationship between Asuna and Mikoto, and the resurrection of Ryuun-kun's mother, you two might be dead now..."
As soon as Minato said this, Naruto and Sasuke's faces turned pale instantly.
"By the way, where is my mother? Where did my mother go???" Sasuke only then realized that his mother was missing.
"Mikoto was left in the Shadow Mansion. Kushina asked me to tell you that when you wake up, just go to the Sound Village by yourself..."
Hearing this, Sasuke was obviously relieved, but when he thought about going to Otogakure Village to meet Liuyun again, he couldn't help feeling timid.
"I'll go home to recover my chakra first, and then I'll... go to the Hidden Sound Village..." Sasuke evaded the question.
To be honest, he himself didn't have the face to visit again, especially now that he knew Liuyun wanted to face the alien enemy alone.
"Wait a minute, I have something to explain to you..."
Minato repeated the words "There can only be one ninja village in the world". As soon as he said this, Naruto jumped up and down again.
"What! Uncle Liuyun is too strong, isn't he? Even though I can understand the pressure of facing the enemy alone and his need to absorb everyone's chakra...
But isn't it too much to take away the chakra seeds, destroy all ninjas, and only allow the Hidden Sound Village to exist? Isn't this going to kill the ninjas?"
Naruto looked furious. In his eyes, dictators were evil!
"Maybe there will be no more wars after unification? Dictatorship may not be a bad thing. Your mother, Mikoto, and I have already decided to join the Hidden Sound Village..." Minato said this helplessly.
These light words instantly made Naruto blush with anger.
"Your mother and Sasuke's mother have already made a promise to Ryuun-kun that you two will join the Hidden Sound Village. That's why he didn't extract the chakra seeds from your bodies..."
"Let him take it away, but Sasuke and I will never yield to him, and we will not betray Konoha..."
Naruto was stubborn and still insisted on sticking to his beliefs and principles, but his good friend Sasuke's words immediately broke his defense:
"Just represent yourself, don't take me with you. If you don't want to join, then just stay in Konoha and be an ordinary person... I still want to continue to be a ninja, so joining the Hidden Sound Village is no problem..."
Sasuke was afraid to face Uncle Ryuun, but he was not resistant to joining the Otogakure Village. Instead, he was very happy about it.
"Sasuke! How could you…"
"Since you don't want to join the Hidden Sound Village, I won't force you. But your mother and I promised Liuyun-kun that he would join the Hidden Sound Village, and we can't go back on our word. Naruto, you should live a good life here from now on. I will send you living expenses regularly. It would be nice to find a suitable and virtuous wife, raise children, and live a stable life..."
Ninja represents combat power, but in the final analysis it is just a profession. It doesn’t matter if you don’t become a ninja. After all, many villagers in Konoha Village are not ninjas and do not practice chakra.
The average life expectancy of ordinary people is even higher than that of ninjas. Naruto has already died once, and Minato doesn't want to see his son take risks again. He now only wishes that his son can live safely until old age. It doesn't matter whether he is a ninja or not!
"Dad! Even you... damn it!!!"
In the end, Naruto chose to compromise with tears in his eyes...
He is already an adult. If he doesn't become a ninja and doesn't have any skills, he will probably just become a useless person who lives off his parents... He simply can't imagine such a miserable life.
After Sasuke left, Minato looked at Naruto, who looked dejected, and sighed softly, then began to comfort him:
"Good boy... Dad knows you're sad, and he understands how you feel. After all, our dream is to become Hokage. We are more unwilling and sad than anyone else to see the demise of the Konoha Ninja Village..."
Naruto was obviously stunned when he heard these words.
'Yeah... Dad's dream was also to become Hokage. He was more heartbroken than anyone else about leaving Konoha and joining the Village of Sound-Gakure...' Naruto felt a little regretful for having given his father a cold shoulder just now.
"It is an inevitable trend that the ninja villages of various countries will become history. Although Konoha Village may not have a Hokage in the future, if we can't become Hokage, we can still compete for the title of Hokage..."
"what???"
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Your father, even in his thirties, won't give up easily. My ideals, aspirations, and ambitions are still there... You've only just turned sixteen. There's still a long time to go, and plenty of opportunities. As long as you're brave enough to take risks, there's definitely a place for you in this world. Why get discouraged?"
A word can awaken a person from his dream. The words of Minato, the kind father, finally woke Naruto up.
"I know Dad!"
