Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 314 The duel between Yoru and Nagato

After being retorted by Yoru, Konan and Nagato were speechless.

After all, what Ye Yu said was the truth.

Nagato wasn't a stubborn person to begin with.

It was only then that he truly noticed Ye Yu, even though he had previously thought Ye Yu might have some strength.

But they didn't value him very much.

"who are you?"

Yoru calmly replied, "Kyoubun Yoru, the Fifth Hokage's bodyguard."

Nagato's gaze narrowed slightly. "No wonder. You're so young and haven't experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War. Do you even know what war is?"

"You simply cannot comprehend the pain of war, nor can you understand how much suffering those caught in the midst of it endure."

Yoru looked at Nagato calmly. "Yes, I can't understand, but what does the suffering of the ninja world have to do with you?"

"Can't you even take care of yourself? What does it matter to you whether other people are suffering or not? And what right do you have to decide for others whether they are suffering or not?"

"Your Akatsuki organization has caused so much chaos in the ninja world over the years. You say I don't know the pain of war, but since you know how painful war is, what are you doing, causing so many wars for others? Knowing that war is painful, why do you still create war?"

Nagato angrily retorted, "If they don't know how painful war is, how can they cherish peace?"

Ye Yu laughed and said, "That makes a lot of sense, but do you know what? The people you killed by creating wars never had the chance to experience your so-called peace. Compared to them, what does your so-called wish for peace have to do with them?"

"Moreover, the ninja world is generally peaceful right now, yet you have become the culprits who create war and destroy peace."

"You claim to be doing this for peace? I don't believe it at all. You just want to realize your own ambitions and hope that the ninja world will operate according to your wishes. But on what basis?"

"I won't talk about others, but have you asked the people of your Rain Kingdom whether they would be willing to let you take the resources of the Rain Kingdom to create chaos, whether they would be willing to die for your vague so-called ideals?"

"You've never asked, have you? I don't even need to verify it. People like you live in their own world and never consider other people's feelings. To be honest, I'm afraid the people of the Land of Rain would prefer Hanzo, the former leader of Amegakure, to you, the creator of chaos."

"It's just that they don't have the power to change you, and you won't care about their thoughts."

"You can't even govern the Land of Rain properly, and now you're talking about bringing peace to the entire ninja world? It's a joke."

Nagato gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Yoru. Since Yahiko died, no one had dared to speak to him like that or contradict him so directly.

"You're talking nonsense. I just want to bring peace to the ninja world."

After Yoru exposed his actions over the years, Nagato realized that Yoru was actually quite right.

He just didn't want to admit it.

"You are just too young and too ignorant. You have no idea how to make the ninja world peaceful forever. Only I know, only we know."

Nagato was drenched in sweat, but Yoru's words nearly drove him to a breakdown.

They even began to doubt the principles they had always adhered to.

That's actually normal. His so-called ideals were just Yahiko's legacy. When Yahiko was alive, Nagato didn't have any ideas.

Rather than saying he actually had any ideals, it would be more accurate to say he was simply trying to realize Yahiko's ideals.

Yahiko was just a young man back then, and very naive at that; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for Hanzo and Danzo's tricks.

Yoru shook his head. "That's how ninjas are. They possess great power, but their minds haven't evolved along with it. Rather than saying that this world is chaotic, it's more accurate to say that the existence of ninjas is the reason for the frequent wars."

"How terrifying it is to have great power when your thinking is wrong."

What Ye Yu said wasn't wrong. The Land of Rain is not small in area, and its technological level is very high, judging from the many tall buildings they have. And those tall buildings require a very high level of technology to build.

Moreover, it has ample arable land, and is located next to a land of fields.

If technological strength is transformed into productivity, although it cannot provide convenience for ninjas, as long as it improves the convenience of ordinary people in the Land of Rain and creates a lot of wealth, it can be given back to the ninjas.

After all, ninjas don't need a lot of technology, but they do need money and food.

Developing technology will certainly create wealth that agriculture could never have imagined.

With Nagato, a powerful figure, overseeing the Land of Rain, no one has the ability to actively invade them, and Yoruha himself certainly has no interest in doing so.

Apart from Yoru and Sasuke, there is currently no one in the ninja world who can rival Nagato.

With such favorable conditions, Nagato actually chose to create chaos in the ninja world and even pursued his dream of world peace.

Ye Yu became increasingly speechless as she thought about it.

However, that's how ninjas are; ordinary people use ninjas as tools. Before, Yoru was very resentful because he was a ninja.

But after experiencing so much over the years, if ninjas are unwilling to be merely tools, they are a disaster for the world; the more powerful the ninja, the greater the disaster.

After all, Yoru wasn't a pure ninja; in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person.

Therefore, they can think about problems from the perspective of ordinary people.

It can be said that ninjas are not good people in this world; on the contrary, they are the source of chaos.

If ninjas were merely tools, that would be fine. Tools are neither good nor bad; it all depends on the person using them.

But ninjas are precisely people with thoughts; they possess immense power. If they can't understand something, it will lead to rivers of blood, and ordinary people simply cannot stop it.

The most frustrating thing is that ninjas have great strength, but they don't have the brains to match it.

Their thinking is still at the level of ordinary people, and due to the special nature of the ninja profession, their thinking is even inferior to that of ordinary people.

Even the most intelligent ninja is incredibly naive compared to worldly political masters.

Ye Yu remained silent for a long time.

He just looked at Nagato and said nothing.

As time went on, Nagato's eyes began to dart away, because his resolve was wavering.

Even Sasuke, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought.

Xiao Nan looked at Ye Yu with piercing eyes.

The guy in front of me seems quite different from the others.

They were quite different from the ninjas she had ever met.

After a long silence, Ye Yu finally spoke, “War will never disappear, nor will peace, but the world will not be in a state of war forever, nor will it be in a state of peace forever. You cannot make the whole world peaceful forever. If you want to achieve that, it is just a fantasy, and trying to realize a fantasy will definitely cause a very serious disaster.”

"As long as there are people, as long as there are intelligent beings, as long as there are beings capable of thinking, these beings will have interests at stake. How can you guarantee that all intelligent beings share the same thoughts as robots?"

"Although you can't keep the whole world at peace, you can keep your country at peace. You are capable of doing that, but you have wasted so many years on things that are illusory and impossible to achieve. I think if the people of your country had a choice, they would rather choose Hanzo than have you as their leader."

"You have brought them nothing but pain!"
