Naruto: Exterminate the clan immediately, but I am not an Uchiha

The meaning of life

As his thoughts drifted away, Hagoromo Qianhan turned to look at Orochimaru: “It’s dark, what are you doing at the cemetery?”

Orochimaru looked respectful: “I came to pay homage to my father and my mother.”

“My parents passed away. ”

Hagoromo Chihan sighed. Unexpectedly, Orochimaru became an orphan at a young age in the original book. Now that he has traveled through time, Orochimaru is still an orphan.

Orochimaru nodded and said: “Died in the second ninja war that just ended.”

“Died in the war with Dawn?” Hagoromo Chihan asked.

Orochimaru’s eyes were a little lonely: “Yes.”

“Then you hate Dawn?” Hagoromo Chihan was curious.

In the original work, Orochimaru’s parents didn’t know who died at the hands of them, so Orochimaru didn’t mention revenge.

However, now, it is clear that Orochimaru’s parents died at the hands of the Dawn Empire.

Therefore, Hagoromo Chihan is very curious whether Orochimaru will seek revenge from the Dawn Empire next.

“I don’t know.” Orochimaru shook his head in confusion.

“Many people died in the Second Ninja World War, not only my parents, but also other ninjas from Konoha, the Kingdom of Dawn, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure. Many people died in this war. . So

, I really don’t understand, since war kills people, why do we still have war?

In war, everyone’s life is so vulnerable.

The lives of my parents, Konoha, Dawn The lives of Kirigakure, Sunagakure ninjas, all people’s lives are so fragile.

Since life is so fragile, what is the meaning of life’s existence? Does it only exist for war?”

At this moment, Orochi, Maru’s mind was confused.

The Third Generation and Sarutobi just told him that the meaning of life is to protect.

As long as a ninja can protect Konoha with determination, then the ninja’s life will no longer be fragile.

However, the ninjas of Konoha must protect Konoha, the ninjas of Dawn must protect Dawn, the ninjas of Kirigakure must protect Kirigakure, and the ninjas of Sunagakure must protect Sunagakure.

Everyone has to protect their own village, does that mean that war will inevitably break out, and the reason why ninjas’ lives can exist is precisely because war requires ninjas to sacrifice their lives, so ninjas’ lives have meaning. .

Hearing Orochimaru’s question, Hagoromo Chihan couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

Is this Orochimaru? At such a young age, he is able to think about this kind of problem. He is worthy of being the man in the original novel who can master the core technology.

After a while, Hagoromo Qianhan came back to his senses.

He looked at Orochimaru and sighed: “The meaning of life, this is really a meaningful question.”

Orochimaru’s eyes were filled with longing: “Senior, can you tell me what the meaning of life is? Is it really just Does it only exist for war? Or does it exist for so-called protection?”

Before, he asked the Third Generation Lord why life is so fragile. The Third Generation Lord told him that as long as he has a will as hard as a stone to protect Konoha , then life is no longer fragile.

To put it another way, the Third Generation’s words are actually saying that the meaning of life is to protect.

However, the guardian’s answer did not completely convince Orochimaru.

In Orochimaru’s heart, the meaning of life should not be so simple to express in words.

Hagoromo Chihan touched Orochimaru’s head, and then looked into Orochimaru’s eyes gently: “What do you think the meaning of life is?” Orochimaru

pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, “I don’t know. , but I feel that life should not exist for war.”

Hagoromo Chihan laughed: “I don’t know, it’s better not to know.”

Then he put his hands behind his back and looked at Senju Hashirama’s tombstone: ” The existence of life itself has no meaning, but as long as life exists, he will be able to discover meaningful things and strive for it throughout his life.

Just like Senju Hashirama, he believes that the meaning of his life is To build a village, and then let the children grow up healthy and safe in this village.

So, Konoha was born in the hands of Senju Hashirama, and he also dedicated his life to this village.

Likewise , and the little snake in your hand.

Today you found this little snake next to the tombstone, and I found you next to the tombstone. Isn’t this also a meaningful thing?

So, life exists It has no meaning in itself, but if you have life, then you can find meaningful things.”

After the words fell, Orochimaru’s heart seemed to have set off a storm.

There is no doubt that Hagoromo Chihan’s explanation of the meaning of life is very impactful to him.

The Third Generation told him that the meaning of life is to protect Konoha with determination, but the senior in front of him told him that the existence of life itself has no meaning.

These are two completely different concepts, but Orochimaru’s subconscious told him that the statement of the senior in front of him was correct.

Slowly, Orochimaru began to think about the differences between the two concepts.

The stars were twinkling, and before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

“Yes! Senior is right!”

Suddenly, Orochimaru’s eyes were filled with excitement.

The existence of life itself is meaningless, but only when life exists can meaningful things be discovered.

The reason why the Third Generation believes that the meaning of life is to firmly protect Konoha is because the Third Generation has found the meaning of his life, which is to protect Konoha with a will as hard as stone.

However, this is the meaning that the Third Generation has found for his own life, not the meaning of Orochimaru’s life.

Orochimaru’s life may exist because of his determination to protect Konoha, but it may also be because of other meaningful things.

All in all, the meaning of Orochimaru’s life should not be told to him by others, but should be found by himself.

At this moment, Orochimaru felt that he had enlightened.

However, just when he raised his head and wanted to thank Hagoromo Qianhan, he found that Hagoromo Qianhan had left at some point.

Looking at the empty cemetery around him, Orochimaru said softly: “Senior, thank you for your advice, I will remember you!”

After saying that, Orochimaru left the cemetery under the moonlight and stars.

“Haha, this kid…”

Under the big tree at the entrance of the cemetery, watching Orochimaru’s leaving back, Hagoromo Chihan smiled and shook his head.
