Chapter 172: Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain. Once they start, they can never be stopped.

"What do you mean!" Yahiko couldn't help but turn around and asked.

Yahiko's dream is to make people understand each other, achieve peace, and save the Rain Country.

Now some people say that this ideal has already been realized by someone else, so how could he not be curious.

Luo Hao asked: "Have you heard the story of the Six Paths Sage sharing chakra with the world?"

Yahiko frowned, "Of course I've heard of it. Even a three-year-old child knows it. What does this have to do with mutual understanding?"

Luo Hao raised his lips: "But do you know the original use of chakra?"

"Could it be!" Yahiko widened his eyes.

Luo Hao recounted the history of the past: "Yes, in the beginning, chakra was a tool to connect people and enable them to understand each other."

Yahiko did not believe what Luo Hao said and retorted, "But...if it is really as you said, how could the world become like this now?"

"Because of desire!"

"Because of selfish desires!"

Luo Hao said firmly: "They cut off the connection of chakra and turned the ninjutsu into ninjutsu, and those who master ninjutsu are called ninjas."

"So... ninjas are creatures born with original sin. They are one of the sources of cholera in the ninja world." Luo Hao continued.

Nagato paused, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he was young, when his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas.

Luo Hao said coldly: "The existence of ninjas is deformed and twisted. They are a perverted product. They do not engage in production and have no clear status. They are essentially just a group of mercenaries."

"At the age of six, they have to start learning the techniques of killing. Apart from the techniques of killing, they don't know anything else. With such a group of potentially dangerous elements around, how can peace be achieved?"

"It's a simple truth. If they don't kill people, they will starve."

"You know what it feels like to be hungry." Luo Hao's voice was not loud, but it reached deep into their hearts.

The three of them stopped. There was a time when they were just refugees from the Rain Country, living a precarious life with no idea where to put their next meal. They knew exactly how that felt.

"When people are hungry, they can do anything." Luo Hao said dimly, "So, they can only complete the task, regardless of right or wrong, and regardless of the consequences."

“But once you fill your stomach, you start craving more.”

Luo Hao said in an old and long voice: "Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain. Once they start, they can never be stopped."

"Once they have a meal, they will desire more. You desire more, and he desires more, but there are only so many things in the world." Luo Hao coldly revealed the evil of human nature.

"If you have him, you don't have him anymore, so jealousy and greed arise. When jealousy and greed reach a certain level, evil will appear, followed by killing and war."

"Ultimately, hatred is born out of this."

"If peace could come simply through mutual understanding, so many people wouldn't have died."

Luo Hao paused and took the initiative to approach Nagato, which made Yahiko alert.

"Don't come here!"

Luo Hao completely ignored Yahiko's meaning.

As he walked, he said, "In the beginning, fire escape was used for cooking, and earth escape and water escape were used for farming."

"Chakra is not a tool for killing, but a wish that connects people. From this point of view, chakra is really good."

Luo Hao passed Yahiko and stretched out a hand to Nagato: "Link the chakras."

Nagato did as he was told subconsciously, holding hands and connecting their chakras.

"See? This is the evidence."

Nagato was stunned. He felt a red color from Luo Hao, a red that was hard to describe and surpassed all other colors.

It is so warm, and also so scary.

"Cut off the ninja, cut off the ties." Luo Hao declared loudly: "Let everything enter a new era. This is your destiny, Nagato!"

"Nagato, don't listen to his nonsense." Yahiko was very angry. It was his dream to make people understand each other. As long as he could achieve this goal with great difficulty, peace would surely come.

Now Luo Hao told him that even if they understood each other, nothing would change. People would still continue to fight and war would still come. How could he accept that?

"If the Ninja Clan is really as good as he says, then how could the current situation have occurred?" Yahiko tried to refute.

"Because the Six Paths Sage was as naive as you at first, he believed that as long as people understood each other, everything would be fine." Luo Hao said coldly:
"But in reality, he's just a father who can't even solve his children's problems."

Luo Hao's eyes sparkled: "The Ninja Clan has failed from the beginning. Your so-called mutual understanding is destined to be a road to failure."

"You have to understand one thing, people have selfish desires." Luo Hao said: "Just like you desperately want Nagato to stay away from me, this is your selfish desire. You can't even understand my philosophy, how can you talk about making the whole ninja world understand each other."

“So, we have to seek a new path to redemption.”

Luo Hao’s meaning is very clear. The idea of ​​mutual understanding between people is not feasible. Come to my side and let’s find a new way forward.

Yahiko obviously couldn't accept it, as he was being pulled and stepped on. For someone like him, it was too difficult to make him give up the path he was pursuing with just a few simple words.

"You're wearing a mask, hiding your face, and following us stealthily," Yahiko pulled Nagato behind him. "I don't believe what you said. When the time comes when people understand each other, peace will be eternal. This situation will not happen now."

"Haha, I didn't do anything, but you are so wary of me. How can I talk about understanding?" Luo Hao chuckled and looked at Yahiko who had a stubborn face.

"Nagato, Konan, let's go." With that, Yahiko strode away.

Konan and Nagato also followed behind him. Just when Luo Hao and Nagato passed each other, Luo Hao whispered to Nagato.

"I will wait for you here at the same time every day. Sooner or later... you will understand." After Nagato and the other two left, Black Zetsu spoke: "That Yahiko is a bit troublesome! We need to find a way to get rid of him."

Luo Hao listened to what Hei Zetsu said and said nothing.

Just quietly watching the raindrops fall into the small puddle, creating ripples.

After a long moment, he said, "No need. In this cruel world, someone as naive as him won't survive long."

"Either you die, or you are smoothed over by the mundane world. All you have to do is wait quietly."

It was the same in the original work, the naive Yahiko believed what Hanzo of the Salamander said.

Then he was taught a lesson by Hanzo of the Salamander and Danzo of Shimura, which made Nagato understand "pain" and become the god of resistance.

This matter had nothing to do with Obito, but was the work of our Guoying.

…………

Time passed, and Luo Hao grew another year older.

That day, Luo Hao sat cross-legged on the ground, comprehending the profound meaning of "stillness".

Observe the movement of natural energy in the entire ninja world from a perspective of the unity of man and nature.

With a tiny body, you can see the vastness of the universe.

From this perspective, Luo Hao has surpassed all the immortal arts practitioners in the Naruto world. Perhaps only the old monsters from the three holy lands can surpass him.

White Zetsu floated up from the ground.

Luo Hao pushed himself out of a static state. He could feel nature and also capture traces of Bai Zetsu.

"Well, where are the people?!"

"Ban, Golden Flash is watching too closely." Bai Juejue helplessly spread his hands: "I waited for several months to find an opportunity, but as soon as I caught Yuan Yelin, Golden Flash came."

"I was so scared that I ran for my life. I was almost killed by him." Bai Juejue was still smiling. "By the way, when are you going to tell me what it feels like to poop?"

Luo Hao ignored his words and directly ordered: "Go get some of Yuan Yelin's chakra and become her appearance."

"Madara, it will be easy to be discovered if we continue like this," Black Zetsu reminded.

"Hmph, just Uchiha Kenji." Luo Hao looked down on him.

At this moment, Uchiha and Senju reached a rare consensus.

.........

Konoha
Time passes quietly, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of the year.

The cold wind and white snow have quietly appeared in Konoha, but the whole Konoha seems particularly enthusiastic at this time.

In Konoha Village, Minato Namikaze stood on the balcony watching the falling snowflakes, and suddenly he smiled.

Recalling the conversation in the Hokage's office, he had received recognition from Sarutobi Hiruzen and was about to succeed the throne as the Fourth Hokage.

He was about to fulfill the dream he and Kushina shared.

"Minato, you seem to be in a good mood today." Just then, a voice interrupted Minato Namikaze's thoughts.

"Senior Nawaki!" Minato Namikaze's face was filled with a smile.

Senju Nawaki patted his shoulder and said leisurely: "Congratulations, Minato, you will be a permanent sister in two days."

"If senior hadn't withdrawn from the competition for the Fourth Hokage, I wouldn't have become Hokage." Namikaze Minato was very self-aware. He was much inferior to Senju Nawaki, both in prestige and strength.

Do you understand the value of Konoha's number one prince?

"Oh, I'm not that interested in Naruto anymore." Senju Nawaki waved his hands quickly.

He quickly changed the subject and asked, "No news about Obito yet?"

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly and said, "The Anbu are almost at full strength, but there is still no news."

"Normal, he is Uchiha Madara after all."

"Where is Lin? How is she?" asked Senju Nawaki.

"Some time ago, a white monster tried to kidnap Lin, but I stopped it."

Qianju Shengshu frowned: "Is that so, you are not avoiding people anymore?!"

"Where's Kakashi?"

"He is on a mission at the Mist Ninja Battlefield."

Senju Nawaki murmured: "The Mist Ninja Battlefield..."

For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

.........

Mist Ninja Battlefield
As the Iwagakure and Sand Villages surrendered and withdrew one after another, the pressure on the Mist Village began to increase.

As soon as Konoha took a breath, it immediately mobilized its fighting force to deal with a tougher bone to chew.
