Only Sawai and Sakura were left in the single ward, while Naruto and Tenzo left the ward first.

A room with only two people is a little quiet and can easily cause embarrassment.

However, Sakai had no such consideration. He just kept his usual smile and faced Sakura and asked: "What, Sakura, aren't you going to leave with them?"

Ignoring Sakai's words, Sakura just looked at Sakai with serious eyes and said solemnly: "What you said just now was probably to stimulate Naruto on purpose."

Although it was a question, Sakura was very sure and stared at Sawai with a look that saw everything.

Sakai asked back with a smile that remained unchanged: "It's an interesting response, but I think you are wrong. Moreover, you know nothing about the roots. Everyone who joins this organization is the brother and sister of Danzo-sama.

There is no such thing as 'I', so feelings are also a drag."

"Then why do you still carry this drawing book with you?"

Sakura lowered her gaze and looked at the drawing book in Sawai's right hand.

After hearing these words, Sakai subconsciously used the fingers of his right hand to hold the drawing book tightly.

Although there is still a smile on his face, this smile is not even a fake smile, but cold.

"Naruto is right, ninjas are also human beings, and creatures like humans cannot give up their emotions. No matter who it is, when faced with a major decision, they say they must use reason first, but in most cases

, people still tend to choose the emotional side. Absolute rationality does not exist in this world. That painting book is a precious memory of your and your brother’s past, and it is also proof of your existence."

Sakura said this.

Humans are easily infected by emotions and are impulsive higher animals.

Zuo Jingguchi kept saying that 'I' did not exist, that I was Danzo's brother and did not need to think... However, when he carried this painting book with him, he was already instinctively resisting this 'reason'.

His true heart does not agree with the fundamental philosophy.

Zuo Jing fell silent.

"You want to desperately prove your existence, and you want to remember yourself as a younger brother... For you, proving the fact that this brotherly bond exists is more important than your own life."

"...bond?"

As if he was unfamiliar and curious about such a new vocabulary, Sakai couldn't help but murmured a question.

"You'd better think about this problem carefully."

Sakura left these words and left the ward.

"What a strange group of people..."

Looking at the direction Sakura was leaving, Sakai thought of Tenzo and Naruto again.

Maybe, I am the really weird person?

Lowering his head, Zuo Jing stared at the picture book in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"elder brother……"

"Damn it! Damn it! That guy actually said something like that! I don't want anyone to protect me!"

In the deserted woods, Naruto kept hitting the trees with his fists until the bark was cracked. The skin on his fists was scratched by the rough bark and blood flowed out. Naruto did not stop, but

Keep hitting the trees.…

Stimulated by Zuoi's words, Naruto only wanted to vent his dissatisfaction in this way.

Naruto didn't stop punching until the tree was hit by his fist.

Blood dripped down his fist and fell to the ground.

"It's really hard to watch a person come here to vent his emotions, boy."

A joking voice suddenly came from behind, causing Naruto to turn around subconsciously and saw Jiraiya, who appeared not far behind him with a smile, walking slowly towards him.

"A lustful fairy?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya in surprise.

"Why do you look so surprised? After inheriting the psychic contract from Miaomu Mountain, you are considered my student after all... Isn't it normal for a teacher to come over to comfort a student when he sees him disappointed?"

Jiraiya said with a smile.

"I'm not disappointed."

Naruto's mouth became stubborn.

"Really? I heard everything you and the root guy said."

"So, Lesbian Immortal, you also think what that guy said is very unpleasant, right?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya expectantly.

Jiraiya did not disappoint Naruto and nodded, but soon he shook his head again.

"You are nodding and shaking your head, what do you mean?"

Naruto became depressed.

"Idiot, of course I agree half of the time and disagree with the other half. You have a lot more to learn than I did back then."

"cut."

Naruto seemed to not care about Jiraiya's preaching and turned his head away in displeasure.

"Don't be dissatisfied. The Root organization is not as simple as you think. The boys who join your team are relatively normal. All ninjas who join the Root must undergo cruel training that destroys emotions in order to turn them into

A first-class killing machine."

Jiraiya patted Naruto's head and said so.

He could see that the child named Sakai still had the desire to break free in his heart.

It's just that the fundamental concept is too deep-rooted for him, and it is not easy to break free from such shackles.

Firstly, it is psychological pressure, and secondly, it is practical pressure.

The former is not bad, but if the latter is known by Danzo and becomes suspicious, what will happen to Zuoi will be destruction in reality.

Even Tsunade, as the Hokage, would find it difficult to protect her opponent.

The current Danzo is no longer the root leader who still needs to rely on the power of the Hokage.

Since the Third Ninja War, Danzo's power has gone out of control.

After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, another round of expansion took place.

Otherwise, the opponent will not control the Hokage to achieve the purpose of controlling Konoha.

The other party's ambition has long since left him with no respect for Naruto.

Such Danzo is not only a deterrent to Naruto and the ninja clan, but it is also an unprecedented deterrent to the internal staff of the root. Those root ninjas who still have feelings in their hearts can only further suppress their inner feelings.

Don't dare to show any emotion.

"Why don't you deal with this kind of thing? I've had such a hard life since I was a child, maybe it's because of them..."...

Naruto lowered his brows, his eyes a little disappointed.

In his view, this so-called root is simply an evil organization.

Turning humans into killing machines was completely different from the Konoha he knew in the past.

Moreover, since he was regarded as a demon fox since he was a child, he seems to be inseparable from this organization.

Even though I pretended not to care, I still felt a little unhappy when I thought about these things.

I cannot identify with such an organization, which is also my own partner.

Jiraiya was slightly silent.

He didn't know how to explain this to Naruto.

He had also tried hard to appeal to his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi in the past to withdraw the Roots organization from the Anbu and disband the Roots before it posed a threat.

However, his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi not only did not listen, but instead placed Orochimaru in the root, and even provided him with financial and talent supplies.

The growth of his roots is inseparable from the connivance of his mentor.

"If you don't like it, then try to change it."

"Change?"

Naruto raised his head and looked at Jiraiya's serious eyes.

"Yes, isn't your dream to become Hokage? As long as you become Hokage, you can change everything."

"Can I do this?"

Naruto was a little unsure.

Although he lacks common sense, he also knows that when the Third Hokage was in power, this root organization was still alive and well. Now when the Fifth Hokage is in power, the other party is still able to place personnel in Team 7, which shows that this organization still has

Very influential...

In other words, the opponent is a powerful being that even the Hokage would find difficult to defeat.
To be continued...
