Chapter 53: Unwilling to Believe
But Naruto, after just ran a few steps, he stopped again.
"My stupid younger brother--. Have you been living a peaceful life for too long? Have you forgotten how the village treated you? Did you forget how much the village is to forget favors? You run like this, questioning them face to face, really think that they will let you go with peace of mind? If they ask how you got the news, how should you answer them? Naruto, Naruto, aren't you feeling too comfortable? Well, even if you really asked the old fogey face-to-face, the old fogey would say that it was because the war was over shortly after that that they had no spare time to rescue Land-of-Whirlpools. What about you? Will you believe this excuse? Do you accept this excuse? If you don't believe or accept it, what can you do? Pointing at the old fogey's nose and scolding him?"
A series of questions.
Naruto was dumbstruck and unable to reply. But what he considered first was not his own safety but the truth of the matter. The words of the big brother were indeed true. He would not believe this excuse, and he could not accept it at all.
Others help you, and then you just watch other people's country be wiped out? Even if the reason is really the case, is this still the Will of Fire that everyone said?
'Is this still the village that I know? Is this the village still the village that dad wanted to protect?'
Even Naruto was frightened by this thought.
As for the last sentence of Li Yaoxiang who ridiculed him, he subconsciously ignored the past.
However, although this news does change Naruto's perception of the village, the impact will not be too great. After all, he still grew up in this village. Conversely, what about Land-of-Whirlpools? Although he is of the same family, he had only seen the three words Land-of-Whirlpools in history textbooks. If you really want to talk about feelings, it is still not as deep as the village.
