Chapter 1190: Realm of Thought
White hands dug into the soil and carefully preserved the roots of the flowers. Bai cherishes all life, even flowers and grass, because he knows the sorrow of death.
When he was a child, he lived with his parents in a small village in the Kingdom of Water where ninjas were prohibited. He was originally very happy, until one day, when he was about four or five years old, the blood power in his body awakened, and the blood of Ice Shield was inherited. Limits are revealed.
Blood inheritance limit is a kind of blood power, which is inherited. Basically, it is the power to complete the change of the properties of two different attributes of chakra without training. In other words, you are born with the talent to become a jounin, and your starting point is much higher than that of ordinary ninjas.
The limit of Bai's blood inheritance is the ice shield that combines wind and water attributes. If this was discovered in a ninja village, he would become a key training target, but he was born in a village that avoided war and was extremely afraid of ninjutsu. So after Bai showed his power, his father personally led the villagers to kill Bai's mother. When he was about to kill Bai, the rampaging Blood Succession Limit killed all the villagers.
Now when you go to the ruins of the village, you can see hundreds of corpses pierced by ice picks and frozen in the ice and snow.
From then on, Bai wandered alone and almost starved to death several times. Until one time when he was almost dying of hunger, he was discovered by the first batch of modified psychic beasts sent by Dulan. He has been raised by the psychic beasts ever since. .
However, Bai's kindness in loving life has not changed, and has even become more intense, because the psychic beasts created by Dulan all have a basic characteristic of loving the environment, and they are all guardians of nature.
Bai grew up around them, and is naturally a die-hard member of animal protection organizations. He is even an important member of green plant protection organizations. He is full of love for nature and life.
So he will transplant all the flowers back to Kirigakure Village so that these flowers will always accompany the deceased.
found it! Naruto was already covered in sweat, but it was worth it. After running for a long time, he finally saw someone. He had almost crossed the entire forest.
The person wearing Kirigakure forehead protector is a woman? Naruto was confused when he saw Shiro who was carefully digging out flowers and plants. Intuitively, Shiro didn't seem like the kind of person who would destroy the bridge because it was so beautiful.
As expected, based on her looks, Naruto thought Shiro was a big sister. It's a pity that Bai's appearance only brings disaster to the country and people, but his gender is male.
Shiro also noticed Naruto and turned around slowly as if to ask who the other person was. He showed a clear expression after seeing Naruto's forehead protector. He knew that Tazuna was protected by the Konoha ninjas, and the failure of his men's assassination was also due to the Konoha ninjas, but he never thought about revenge for his men, because it was not necessary.
Revenge will only increase hatred, and eventually everyone will be locked in hatred.
"Are you looking for the person who destroyed the bridge?" Looking at Naruto's fatigue from traveling all the way, Bai knew that Naruto was looking for him: "I am the destroyer."
"Why?" The other party admitted directly, and Naruto was about to ask why.
"Because this is the best choice for everyone to live, and everything will be the same as before." Bai said.
"Do you know why uncle and the others built the bridge?" What does it mean to be the same as before? Doesn't that mean that the people of the Kingdom of Waves still have to endure the oppression of profiteers?
"I know that the harvests from the Country of Waves can only be sold to Cardo at low prices, but the goods shipped by Cardo to the Country of Waves are very expensive. People in the Country of Waves live a very hard life." Baidu knew that it was just her. What matters is everyone's life. Whether everyone is tired or not is not up to him.
"Everyone can no longer survive. Don't you care at all whether their lives are good or not?" "When you destroy the bridge, you destroy their livelihood. What's the difference between killing them?"
"They will live. Didn't they live without the bridge before?" Bai only cares about this point.
Damn it, what's going on with this elder sister? That kind of indifferent attitude angered Naruto: "You have no right to interfere with uncle's life! They have the right to pursue their dreams, build a bridge and live a better life. Their dreams have now been destroyed by you, and I will never forgive you!"
Bai looked at Naruto and was not angry: "Even if this dream is built with sacrifice and life, do you still have to fulfill it?"
..., Naruto has not considered this, but uncle and the others have not sacrificed anything in building the bridge? "Their bridge construction will only hinder the business of profiteers and will not harm human lives at all."
Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Naruto: "I made a miscalculation. I only wanted to convince Cardo. I didn't expect that building the bridge itself was harmless. I just chose the way I thought was right to achieve my goal. "I don't want my hands to be stained with blood anymore, so destroying the bridge and restoring it to its original state is the most reasonable way to win over Cardo and restore the Kingdom of Waves to the Kingdom of Water, without killing anyone." And if you insist on your dream, my goal will not be achieved. The dream of building a bridge has nothing to do with sacrifice, but conflicts with my goal, so I am sorry.”
...Although this guy was apologizing, he was not sincere at all. Instead, he took it for granted that his actions were correct. Naruto was really angry. He had never seen someone so justified in destroying other people's dreams since he was a child. It was as if the uncle and the others wanted to thank him.
In fact, we need to thank Bai. It is not easy to consider everyone's life from Bai's perspective. Even if the third generation came to cause trouble, at most it would reduce casualties, and no one would be killed. Bai considered from the perspective of the Water Country and took everyone's life into consideration. It can be said to be kind.
Only Bai, who experienced so many terrible things in his childhood and was raised by environmentally friendly summoning beasts, can understand that every life is beautiful. Even if the behavior of the user of life is ugly, it cannot be blamed on life.
It's like the engine of your scooter is not as good as the engine of a million-dollar sports car, and you can't blame the gasoline. All lives are the same, but people are in all shapes and sizes. Bai can truly treat every life equally.
"No, you are wrong. It is obviously because of the profiteers that the uncles can't live, but you destroyed their dreams for your own purposes. You can never forgive them." Naruto and Bai are simply talking at cross purposes, and they are not on the same level at all.
Bai is talking about the origin of heaven and earth, and Naruto is only talking about good people and bad people.
Bai didn't blame Naruto for not understanding. He had experienced too much before he realized the beauty of life. Even the bad guys' vitality would move people. Obviously, Naruto couldn't understand this.
So Bai looked at Naruto, as if asking, "What do you want?" "The bridge has been destroyed. Before ensuring that the goal is achieved, no matter how many times they build it, I will still destroy the bridge. Do you want to fight me?"
"Yes, I want to defeat you." Naruto is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique-"
Boom, the whole open space is full of Naruto, "Uncle's dream will be protected by me."
Bai looked at the trampled wild flowers and closed his eyes silently. The longer he spent, the farther he felt from creatures like humans. Sometimes he could only feel peaceful when he was with the summoned beasts, because those summoned beasts also loved life.
Naruto saw that his opponent had closed his eyes, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He couldn't bring himself to attack an enemy who didn't fight back: "Why don't you do it?" In his mind, anyone who could destroy the bridge was a bad guy, and he should have fought back immediately after seeing his ninjutsu. However, the opponent looked so peaceful and didn't seem to be willing to fight back at all. Naruto was confused.
