Chapter 1268 Analogy

Two long-deceased bodies have already almost eliminated the regrets in front of them. The remaining problems are ones that the dead cannot intervene in, and can only be entrusted to the living or left to those who care to deal with on their own.
After repeated inquiries, both parties stated that they had no further demands, and Da Wu had no choice but to lift the forbidden jutsu, Reanimation Jutsu, and send the souls of the two back to the pure land.
"It's rare for good intentions to be unappreciated, it really... makes me a little unhappy too!"
Could it be that the compassionate "Red Sand" old man, rare in his kindness, allowed them to die peacefully, and the result was that the hot affection turned cold, because it was certain that Uchiha Sasuke was already powerful enough to protect himself, and Konan's safety was also preserved, so there was no need for others to interfere anymore?
Waved his hand and let go of the oranges and cherries in his arms, letting the two little ones play on the side, Saddle Cloud Kaguya said with a narrow smile:
"I don't believe you! Your past "achievements" are too impressive. Taking advantage of you, there is no loss. Those who have been deceived will not "cooperate" with you again!"
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Dawan awkwardly scratched the back of his head, feeling that even if he was not the "timely rain" of the Wind Country, he still had a wide circle of friends. He didn't expect to give people this impression.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, Karin and Kurenai and many others have all received my favor. None of them have really suffered. I have never deceived or cheated anyone. As long as everyone follows the rules and doesn't become too greedy, no one will get hurt..."
“The human heart cannot withstand temptation!”
When it comes to the weaknesses of human nature, there are few people in the ninja world who know more than the heiress of the Anma clan.
“In short, it's called 'fishing,' but essentially, it's also a form of coercion and temptation!”
No matter which world, which era, a saint with a flawless soul is hard to come by. The complexities of the world and the differences in people's thoughts make it almost impossible to encounter someone with exceptional insights who can remain unaffected by the dark side of human nature.
The final result, the difference between betraying one's core interests only once and countless times.
What are the truly irreplaceable treasures?
As long as there is a balance, it falls into the calculation of the big maru.
Just now, those ninjas mentioned by Daimaru are basically being driven to a dead end step by step, and can only end up boarding Daimaru's thief ship.
"But those threats weren't created by me..."
Daimaru retorted indignantly,
"Blame it on the likes of Kurojue, Uchiha, and Shimura Danzang, those ambitious schemers, it's nothing to do with me..."
"Just because my hands are not stained with blood, doesn't mean I'm really clean!"
Amagi Kyun shakes his head on the pommel horse,
"If you don't have the ability to stop it, then turn it around and use it. Good and bad things are actually on the line, with different standpoints, the views naturally completely different! Although I am a Konoha ninja and my position is not completely consistent with yours, I can't deny that they have their own problems. With you, it may not necessarily get better, but at least the worst results will not occur..."
Daimaru has always held the "least bad" outcome shining brightly, waiting for them on the path of their destiny.
Human nature itself tends to seek profit and avoid harm. In crucial moments, everyone's choices are actually quite similar. Personality is not as important as imagined in many cases, and we are not as special as we think we are.
"Diminishing blow!"
Da Wan responded noncommittally,
"I have a lot of resources, far beyond their imagination, naturally invincible; although it is very unfair to them, but, what is truly fair? Origin, status, wealth, and connections, each has its own destiny, born equal, but some are destined to be more equal, just because they have better birth techniques..."
“好重的酸味！”
轻笑着的鞍马八云说道，
“草根逆袭的嚣张与得意，当真是溢于言表，平时不是装得挺像那么回事的么？”
"There's no one else here, I can't hide it from you even if I wanted to!"
Daimaru answered very frankly.
Just think, I ate sand for over ten years when I was a child, and I would have to scrimp and save even for a full meal. Even though I worked hard to become a ninja, the first thing I thought about every morning was how to save money, while the ninjas in Konoha Village lived without worries, nurturing me all the way."
The difference is so big, don't you have any ideas at all?
"I haven't thought about how to take revenge yet, but that doesn't mean I won't hold a grudge! Understanding and forgiveness are what truly idealistic people consider. I'm still not used to overly 'correct' moral principles..."
Despite having seen and experienced the true realm of "gods" in terms of knowledge and strength, Damaru's mindset remains fundamentally unchanged from the beginning.
"In the end, you are still very powerful, able to be unrestrained, most people are not so carefree!"
"Yes! Personal strength, can't determine everything, but it has already solved most of the unsatisfactory things in the world. What I say, is becoming more and more influential..."
Although not yet to the supreme, but Maru has deeply realized that the fate of the world is getting looser and looser on herself. How to keep her original intention and not step into the "extraordinary" field is actually a very difficult thing.
At this point, no one questions themselves anymore, what can make Dai Maru feel fearful is not the laws of the world and human relationships, but their own moral compass.
“Alright, alright, I'm not here to discuss these never-ending issues with you, nor am I trying to mock or blame you!”
Konohamaru Sarutobi said casually,
“Just like you said, no matter which standard you use, there is no reason for you to be unfairly criticized. If they improve, it's their luck; if they feel like they've been shortchanged, they just have to chalk it up to bad luck!”
"I don't feel guilty at all!"
Dawan shrugged,
"I personally don't care how they think, as long as they don't make any unexpected moves! I even hope they could be more proactive and create more value!"
"I hope in the future you can be as calm as well!"
"Just chatting, Anma Kaguya himself does not think that there is a real danger in the current ninja world that Da Maru cannot resist, Iwagakure and Kirigakure are in decline, Kumogakure cannot make further progress, truly on par with Konohagakure."
With the rise of Sunagakure, it is inevitable to reach a new balance.
The resources in the ninja world are limited, if you take more, others will have less.
Fortunately, the ninja world has not been fully developed yet, and it has not reached the point where there is no way out and only crazy competition within the ninja world.
“妙木山、湿骨林和龙地洞，就这样打打闹闹一场，虎头蛇尾地结束？”
“先不谈能不能打赢，即便能压下它们的反抗，又能怎么样？我总不可能一直看着，忍者们又没有实力消化将它们击败后的胜利果实！我们和它们不算是无法调和的敌人，在需要的时候，说不定还能派上用场……”
The ninja world is so small, and the competition between ninja villages has always been in a cycle of chaos and order. Some unexpected forces may provide some variables, and maybe bring unexpected benefits.
"In fact, we have already stood at the top of the ninja world, which means that there is almost no road ahead. Conquering a few intelligent beings of other races may not be of much benefit. The shallow ambition and superficial thoughts of ordinary people are not what I want..."
The ninja world is not a technologically advanced society like in the past, relying entirely on social and organizational power. Here, there is extraordinary power, and personal power belongs to oneself, naturally. Ideas are also more individualistic.
Conquering the ninja world is certainly not impossible. By ignoring the names of the five great nations and obtaining nominal authority, it may be difficult but not entirely impossible.
However, for the current Dai Maru, mundane authority has become insignificant and does not play a crucial role. It would be better to think about how to establish a new path in terms of technology and ninjutsu.
The birth of the sacrificial ritual was not glorious or perfect, but it was a feat of the ninjas trying to tame the "catastrophe" and make themselves stronger.
"When will the ninjas have the true strength to compete with the Ten-Tails and the Otsutsuki clan, or even further, it's really a difficult problem."
Don't be fooled by the fact that the ninjas are now able to successfully seal the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Kaguya Otsutsuki. This is not the result of the deep foundation of the ninja world to suppress the "extraterrestrial visitors" that are about to attack, but it is only achieved by actively accepting and using them.
The descendants of the exotic races who rely on "assimilation" to dominate the world, even if they win, it is flawed.
It's not that we don't recognize the contribution of the descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki, but there are some shortcomings. If we are detached from abilities like Sharingan, Mokuton, Yin-Yang Release, tailed beasts, etc., ninjas would be too embarrassed to have no ability to defend themselves against attacks from the "Celestial Beings."
In the end, it's hard to say whether the ninja world assimilated the "extraterrestrial visitors", or if they took over the ninja world in a relatively gentle way, it's hard to say.
Even if the ultimate outcome is integration, it should be on our terms, not completely taking on the shape of someone else.
“Sure enough, it's the same unreasonable and arrogant look!”
Amaharu Kaguya sighed slightly,
“I can't stand it, I want to go out and do something different!”
“If you don’t have the ability, don’t think too much. Since it's possible, why hide it? Without finding something to do, it feels quite boring ahead. With so many people under my command, there must be some goals…”
Life lies in being active. Once the day comes when we can no longer be active, it's as good as over.
"Having everything under control" is indeed a goal that needs to be achieved to some extent. However, when all variables are truly eliminated and things develop in a lifeless manner, the loss of vitality becomes inevitable. This is not a good thing for life, for the species, or even for the entire ninja world. To be based in the ninja world and intend to enrich one's own daimyo with the resources of the entire world is even more unacceptable, especially the future that can be seen almost at a glance.
“Barren land, unable to produce beautiful flowers, unable to bear abundant fruit! From your perspective, it's not wrong to think like that.”
Anma Yakumo covered her mouth and chuckled,
“If those ambitious individuals knew you had such 'luxurious' thoughts, I don't know how they would feel heartbroken.”
"To elevate oneself in status, subjugate others, is perhaps unavoidable throughout the entire lifespan of our race, but this is only a means, not an end. I am not a magnanimous person, but at this point, it is unnecessary to be entangled in such vulgar thoughts. In the whole ninja world, apart from a few individuals that still make me wary, almost everything is within my reach. It is even greater than the fame of the so-called Five Great Nations and the actual authority of the Five Kage. So, what is the point of giving oneself the title of 'Ruler of the World,' becoming a target for everyone's arrows, both open and hidden?"
It is unnecessary to put oneself in shackles for the sake of vanity, compliments, respect, or envy from others.
"It means not to be bothered by others' thoughts and to act according to one's own needs and urgency, right?"
理解能力十分惊人，对大人也比较熟悉的鞍马八云早有所料地回应道，
“那……还有其它私人领域，为什么不肆意一点，而是要在乎别人的看法？”
With a pointed word, it made Damaru surprised, and translated into suspense, this is encouraging oneself, the worldly morality actually doesn't affect anything, as long as the person doesn't care, you can really do whatever you want.
However...
“This...is unfair!”
Anma Yakumo sneered and responded:
“When you were taking advantage of Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Otsutsuki Kaguya and Hyuga Neji, did you ever consider whether it was fair to them? Why are you so reasonable in matters of love and romance?”
Damaru smiled openly:
"They are all good girls. It is precisely because they have been moved that sometimes they cannot get past themselves!"
Youthful and beautiful, and devoted to oneself, every girl is worth cherishing. It's not easy to be the king of the game flower bushes. In a way, love between men and women is also a kind of spiritual game. Don't overestimate yourself just because you are charming or popular.
Combining the experiences of the past life and the past twenty years in this world, as well as the experience of the unlucky guy "Dawan" who perished in the quicksand sea on the original timeline, can awaken the current "Mr. Red Dust."
Now everything is not really because of my amazing talent and destiny's favor, but the result of leveraging the advantages of the crosser and various coincidences coming together.
Whether it's Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Neji Hyuga and others, Da Maru feels that he can easily empathize with them and wouldn't do any better in their shoes.
Even long doors and Uchiha Madara who have been mocking all the time, in fact, the qualifications are far superior to Uzumaki Naruto. At least they can turn bad luck into good luck all the way, constantly improve themselves, until they compete with the "sons of destiny", before they are defeated.
If it were the "daimaru" who died young, he wouldn't survive each near-death test for more than three minutes.
"Well, although I'm very happy that I didn't misjudge him, but... it's a pity that I'm not the first one!"
"You understand that's good..."
Kaguya Anma shook his hand and interrupted Daimaru's words with a smile that was not a smile:
"Understanding is one thing, but not being convinced is another. I won't just let this matter go like this. Just like you said, we always need to find something to do in the future..."
