* As the days became weeks, and the weeks turned into months, we saw a much stronger Naruto than the one who started this training. He was walking behind monk gyatso, into a dark forest*
Gyatso:Tell me, little caterpillar. What do you sense, what do you see with those eyes of yours?
Naruto: I sense chakra. All around us. But it isn't human anymore. Maybe once upon a time it was, but now? It...changed into something different, something dark.
*Naruto said, looking around, as they went deeper and deeper into the forest, a fog started to engulf them, but gyatso remained calm, and seeing him calm, so did Naruto*
Gyatso:Yes. This is the resting place for a dark creature. But dark doesn't mean evil. It's up to the individual how they'll use what it gives you
Naruto:I see. As you once told me, evil is subjective. What I see as the right thing to do can be totally different from what others may see it as.
*Naruto spoke, as the fog became thicker, it was beginning to be hard to see, but Naruto had no problem following Monk gyatso, he can't mistake his chakra ball with anything else, it's too one of a kind to be mistaken for anything else*
Gyatso:very true, if you take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the first sieve, and then show me one Adam of justice, one molecule of mercy. You'll find none, goodness, evilness, those are nothing more than concepts people use to make them feel safe. Tell me, what do you see as goodness?
Naruto:the way of the samurai. The path of protecting the weak, the iron country is in my opinion how the world should be, that's goodness.
*Naruto said, but of course, he only said that because that's what he grew up with, Naruto may be a ronin, but he was still limiting himself with the same views as the rest of iron country*
Gyatso:I see, while you may see it that way. Others see you all as nothing more than fools of a bygone generation. They see your way as useless. In a world that's cruel, you must be cruel back.
Naruto:Yes. I've.... I've met quite a few people in my travels who think like that. And I couldn't disagree more.
Gyatso: Then explain why you don't agree?
Naruto:Hm. When you take life without a reason, you live in fear because deep down, you know that someday your life will be taken as well. The samurai kill for a purpose. To protect the weak, the Shinobi kill only for greed.
*Naruto said, showing where he grew up in his little speech, for Naruto the Shinobi profession is nothing more than a path to greed. Even if he has Shinobi friends, he can't see it any other way than that.
Naruto:And one day? All of us will have to reap what we sow. There's no way of avoiding that. I would rather reap the fruit of protecting the weak, then the fruit of only caring about ryo
Gyatso:hm. When we harm others, we're really only harming ourselves. It's simple, when you insult the profession of those you care about like anko, you're also hurting yourself, my caterpillar
*gyatso explained in a gentle tone, Naruto pursed his lips a little, he nodded in agreement, as the world around them turned from a forest to a swamp*
Naruto:I know. " If you want good things to happen in your life, you have to be good." Such a simple passage to live your life, but unfortunately I just can't see past it, over my travels, I've learned to love the individual, I love anko when she's a civilian, but feel nothing but disgust when she's a Shinobi.
Gyatso:Yes, and I can tell you that she understands that and still loves you as if you were her own.
*Gyatso said, even if he never met her, Naruto knew gyatso was telling the truth. Hell, Naruto never even talked about the snake with gyatso, but he just knew*
