Chapter 550 The Choice Is the Future of ‘Tomorrow’!
A question naturally arises here - why Otsutsuki Hagoromo cannot obtain eternal life! ?
There is no official explanation for this in the original work.
You must make a guess.
There are two explanations that may be relatively more likely. One is that there is something wrong with the Ten-Tails itself. As a part of Kaguya's power, Hagoromo cannot fully integrate the power of the Ten-Tails, but needs to suffer backlash.
That's why in his later years, when his strength was weak, he took the first step to separate the Ten Tails.
This is the first guess.
The second guess is that Hagoromo's bloodline concentration is simply not enough, and the Ten-Tails is just a carrier of power. The only thing that can truly evolve his life level is that the sacred tree incarnated by the Ten-Tails absorbs the original power of the planet. And then bear the fruit.
Unless Hagoromo lets the Ten-Tails transform into a sacred tree again, and absorbs the energy again to produce a fruit for him to swallow, otherwise, he will never be able to become a real 'Otsutsuki' in this life!
In addition, of course there are many other possibilities.
It's just more unreliable.
But for Menma, what he can be sure of is that it is absolutely impossible for a mere Ten-Tails to give humans the energy to obtain eternal life. He cannot even supply it to one person, let alone the entire world, with over 100 million humans. ! ?
Not even the Immortals of the Six Paths can do it.
You Uchiha Madara can do it! ?
Menma's question was almost heart-wrenching.
Uchiha Madara fell silent again.
I chose to believe in the words of the ancestor of the Six Paths Sage and embarked on this path. But now it seems that the ancestors could not do this, or it was obvious that they deliberately concealed some important information. I am also on this path. Why?
"I..."
There was a hint of uncertainty on Uchiha Madara's face, and he wanted to continue to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they seemed to be stuck, and he could not make a sound for a long time.
"Yes, Madara, what Menma boy said makes sense. There are so many people in the whole world. Even if the peace in the dream you mentioned is true, these people have to eat, drink, and defecate if they want to live, right? How can it be so easy? Can you do it? Let alone live forever. If you can't do this, the human species will be extinct in just a few decades. Is this kind of peace really what you want? "
Hashirama on the side also directly joined the army of persuasion.
Madara's Eye of the Moon plan.
From Hashirama's point of view, it really is the ultimate invincible terror. As Menma said, what's the point of such peace! ?
It’s just another way to destroy the world.
No matter how blunt a blunt knife is, it is still a knife, and it will still kill you in the end. Compared with Madara's madness, no matter how Hashirama looks at Menma now, he is pleasing to the eye. Isn't it the unification of the ninja world? Isn't it because Konoha is going to disappear? Those are all small problems. If a person is alive and can live freely, then it is completely OK.
It would be a pity if some people died.
But in past wars, more people died.
As long as the ninja world is unified, everything may still develop for the better, at least we cannot deny the possibility.
Anyway, now that Madara is here as the ultimate negative teaching material, Menma is on the righteous side!
Hashirama is now very glad that he has not achieved the peak strength of his life, and Menma can be far better than him.
otherwise.
The previous battle.
Don't say that you defeated Menma, if it really happened, both sides would suffer.
This world is about to usher in the world-destroying future that Madara is about to create. No matter how stupid Hashirama is, he can still accurately judge the intention of his close friend who has been staying near the Valley of the End!
It's just lice on a bald man's head - it's obvious!
"The path you have chosen is wrong, Madara Uchiha."
Tobirama on the side also continued to hit the target with a calm expression.
In fact, if I must say it, Tobirama still quite agrees with Menma's approach, and to be more precise, it was when Konoha was first established. They had their own Anika in the Ninja Village, and Uchiha Madara, whoever could take it When he came out as the top being who could sweep the entire ninja world, Tobirama didn't say anything on the plan put forward by Uchiha Madara to destroy the ninja villages of all major countries, but he also wanted to implement it in his heart!
In the final analysis, Tobirama is an 'egoist' in the purest sense!
It's just that his 'self' doesn't mean himself, but the group he values! The first was the Senju clan, followed by the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
As long as it is really for the great justice of Konoha, for the interests of Konoha, and for the consideration of all the people who identify with and attach themselves to Konoha Hidden Village, Tobirama will be fearless and unwavering, even if he is cooperating with the devil.
This is why it is said that it is good for Tobirama and Izuna.
They are more natural leaders than their brothers.
They will not consider anything that does not meet standards, common sense, or is unrealistic. Tobirama sneered at the Eye of the Moon plan mentioned by Madara. This is something that only people with a weak brain would believe. matter.
oh.
It should be said that he is a brainless person!
Uzumaki Menma had already made it so clear, analyzed the pros and cons so thoroughly, yet Uchiha Madara was still so stubborn.
Tobirama almost wanted to laugh out loud.
It can be said that at this moment, Uchiha Madara had no idea that he had once again refreshed the lower limit of his IQ in Tobirama's heart.
This is a guy with a head full of knots.
"Sir Madara, you have not only failed now, but you have been a loser decades ago. It does not refer to actions, but to this point. In your heart, you are disappointed with yourself and have given up."
Menma looked at Uchiha Madara with indifferent eyes, pointed at his heart and said slowly.
"Because it is absolutely impossible for a person with a truly strong heart to find such a peaceful way. What is the essence of illusion? As an Uchiha clan member, you should know better than anyone else, the peaceful world in the eternal dream? Even if you said the above Everything mentioned can be realized, and there are indeed no risks or problems here, but isn't this a kind of self-exile and self-escape? It is a kind of complete daring to face reality and face it directly? What a cowardly act of life!”
"If Hashirama-dono has always been immersed in the conservative past, with no pioneering spirit at all, and just wants to live the conventional choice of 'yesterday', then Madara-dono, what you have done is to arbitrarily cut off All the connections, unwilling to face the past, let alone the courage to meet the future, just want to bury your head deeply into the ground, and have been living your life, constantly repeating 'today', Doesn’t this seem even more ridiculous?”
As if he couldn't help it, Menma sneered and spoke word by word.
"Yesterday has passed, and today will pass sooner or later. Only tomorrow will keep coming. The future I want is a future with constantly updated tomorrows. It is a future that is in my own hands, my destiny. , I make the decision myself, this is also the choice made by human beings from their heart, so, Sir Madara, you are a complete loser and a complete coward!"
Come to the end.
Menma's tone also subconsciously became high-spirited.
Tomorrow may not necessarily be truly happy, and the road ahead may indeed be bumpy, but at least you can choose the future by yourself.
Regardless of failure or success.
Even if you just buy a lottery ticket, there is only a theoretical probability of winning the jackpot, right?
All of this needs to be chosen and undertaken by oneself.
Passively waiting for your fate?
No!
That was not the future Menma wanted.
Even if you really want to lie down or wait for death, it is still your own choice. If others impose it on you, your face will be numb and you will be extremely resistant.
I must give an example.
Just like when most people were young, they didn’t like to hear the words from their elders: ‘Everything I do is for your own good! ’
You could call it rebellion.
Anyway, human beings by nature are not willing to passively accept everything imposed on them by others.
Hashirama is just a little more conservative after all.
Uchiha Madara wants to force all mankind to stop at this node and never move forward. Even if there is no conspiracy in the Infinite Tsukuyomi Jutsu, Menma is 100% impossible to accept it.
Does such a world and such a future make sense? Is it valuable? ?
The answer is obvious!
When Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara heard Menma's words, their expressions couldn't help but be shocked.
There's nothing in Tobirama.
Although I was surprised that Menma could actually say such words at this age, it was not a huge shock in essence. Tobirama was an extremely calm and rational person at all times, and it was difficult for such a person to be ignored by others. What touches the heartstrings, in this life, Tobirama will only be touched by his Anika, and that's not because Hashirama's words are so touching or reasonable, but purely because Hashirama is him Because of his biological brother.
Not to mention Menma.
But Hashirama and Madara were different.
Why can two people with completely different personalities become lifelong friends?
Or is it the kind that can be compared to a real brother? Is it really because of the chakra influence of Asura and Indra?
Maybe.
But it's definitely not an important reason.
The point is still that in essence, both of them are the ultimate 'simple people'.
It is the kind of existence where it is easy to fall into an environment of self-awareness, and then continue to hypnotize oneself to continuously deepen this self-awareness.
Such people are often easily attracted to someone at a certain point because a certain sentence touches the heartstrings!
obviously.
at this moment.
Menma's words were like completely opening a special door in Hashirama and Madara's hearts.
Both of them looked at Menma blankly at this moment.
After a long time.
Hashirama just shook his head slightly and said with a bit of self-deprecation: "Is it the old-fashioned yesterday? It seems that it is indeed like this. At the beginning, I seemed to have said this to my father, but I didn't expect that it would change in a blink of an eye. , I have become as stubborn as my father.”
Menma's words.
Undoubtedly, it made this ninja god recall things from his childhood.
Didn't I have a similar conversation with my father at that time?
Now I didn’t realize that I was also walking the same path.
Yes, for the sake of Konoha, I have forgotten my original intention. I can choose to disband the Senju clan with my brother generously. The current Konoha is just an expanded version of the Senju, and the people are still those same people. , changing a title will not bring any particularly big changes. In the end, it still depends on how the people above do it!
It doesn’t matter what you thought before.
At least now Hashirama really appreciates Menma.
Only young people like this are qualified and capable of taking on the responsibility of being the future leader of the entire ninja world.
"Boy Menma, you are the right one. The future of this ninja world is left to you!"
Hashirama laughed and said with his hands on his hips.
At this moment, Hashirama also truly untied the knot in his heart, not only in actions, but also in his heart, he chose to believe in Menma for everything in the future.
Tobirama on the side also shook his head a little helplessly.
My Anijia is such a character.
Still the same recipe, same taste.
But Menma does seem to be a person worthy of trust and trust. If Konoha is gone, it will be gone.
Anyway, it's because of my own inability and the fact that I entrusted me to someone else.
Fortunately, it is enough for people to stay alive.
The second-generation Hokage could only comfort himself silently in his heart.
Hashirama figured it out all of a sudden.
Madara was still in endless trouble.
Again, the more someone like Madara, the harder it is for him to turn back once he chooses a path. Let alone hit the wall, even if he is directly hit and killed, he really may not think it is the road. If you make the wrong choice, you will only feel that you hit a wall in the wrong way.
The previous spots obviously belonged to this pattern.
He kept looking for patches for the Moon Eye Project, kept hypnotizing himself, and even tried to hypnotize Menma, Hashirama, and everyone else.
Because he has really reached the end of this road, even if there is really an endless abyss ahead, Madara has the courage to jump down, but does not have the courage to choose the way back.
This is the last inner barrier that Madara sets for himself.
However, now this barrier was ruthlessly shattered by Menma.
What a cowardly move to escape reality! ! !
This sentence penetrated deeply into Madara's heart, causing Madara's expression to become obviously distorted.
"A complete loser? You are right, Uzumaki Menma, maybe I was destined to be a loser the moment I lost to Hashirama decades ago, hahahahahahahahaha, really What a meaningless life!”
Uchiha Madara laughed out loud, but in these laughter, the endless sadness could be heard.
