Tsunade and Jiraiya listened quietly, listening to Naruto speak his mind.
Looking at this junior who had a great relationship with them, he criticized the 1st Hokage for creating a narrow peace.
They faintly yearned for the kind of peace Naruto described, but in their hearts, they instinctively felt that what Naruto said was wrong.
If the village they protected and the peace they protected were wrong, then what about the sacrifices they had made over the years and the sacrifices of their relatives and friends?
Protecting Wood Leaf, maintaining the existence of Wood Leaf, this is the bottom line of all dreams.
And now, Naruto's idea was challenging this bottom line.
Tsunade put down the teacup, slammed the table, and angrily rebuked: "Naruto, give up your dangerous ideas, do you want to be the enemy of the village? Even if you want to achieve peace, it should be achieved on the basis of the continuation of the village! "
Jiraiya also became serious: "Naruto, I don't ask you to have the will of fire, I said, as long as you don't do anything to the village, then I will support all your ideas, but your current ideas are too dangerous, give up."
This is Naruto, not only is he a close junior, but also has great strength.
If it were someone else, Tsunade and Jiraiya would have immediately attacked him.
Naruto listened to the anger of the two, but his expression didn't change, he was still calm.
He was here to reason with them, not to argue with them.
Not in a hurry to refute them, Naruto began to explain in detail some of his plans for the future of peace.
There were some things that he said to Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, Orochi Maru, and Apothecary's Pocket, as well as some more detailed things that he recently thought of.
It included everything from politics to the economy and people's livelihood.
"Then, let me ask Tsunade -nei-san and Jiraiya -sensei a question, do you think the name Wood Leaf is more important, or the people living in it, and the people living in the world are more important?"
After that, Naruto asked in a calm tone.
Listening to Naruto's understanding of the current world, listening to his ideas on how to achieve peace, and what the world will be like after peace.
Tsunade gradually calmed down, although she didn't want to admit it, but at this moment, she had a great yearning for the world after peace that Naruto talked about.
A society without war, without exploitation, with the old and the young, with constant progress.
Compared to today's ninja world, it's like heaven.
Tsunade who has experienced the joys and sorrows, and is accustomed to the darkness of the world, she can understand the beauty of such a world.
After a long silence, Tsunade finally calmed down and began to think about Naruto's question.
After putting away those prejudices, she was barely able to make a rational answer: "If giving up the name Wood Leaf can bring peace to the world, including all the people living in Wood Leaf can have peace and live a better life, then I think grandfather would be willing to do so, right?"
After a long silence, Jiraiya also nodded in agreement. Although his character and experience are very different from Tsunade, he has a similar understanding of Wood Leaf and the issue of peace.
"So, why are you against me?"
Naruto tilted his head and wondered: "If I want to achieve peace, it is bound to be accompanied by blood and sacrifice, so I must have absolute power and call on the people of the whole world to support me."
"If my ideas can be recognized by everyone, then under the general trend, all the demons and monsters that stand in the way of peace are just mantises trying to stop a chariot."
"And if my ideals can't be recognized by everyone, then I'll be going against the world, and I'll be destined to fail. As my elder, if you feel that my ideals are correct, even if you don't help me, you shouldn't be an obstacle to me."
"Even if I cause a huge loss to the world in the pursuit of peace, it can't be worse than this crazy world. When the time comes, all the merits and demerits will be left to the future generations to judge."
At this time, Jiraiya had a bitter smile on his face.
He also wants to pursue peace, but limited by his vision and knowledge, he has been unable to find the right answer.
But now, his disciple has put a detailed and feasible answer in front of him.
And he, who has always wanted to pursue peace, couldn't understand it at first, but instead opposed it, can he really be regarded as a competent teacher?
Looking at Naruto's yellow hair and azure eyes that were exactly the same as the Child of Prophecy in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
Jiraiya was more disappointed than he was emotional about the current state of the village.
Gradually, the scales in Jiraiya's heart tilted towards Naruto.
"Maybe Naruto can really achieve true peace like this?"
Tsunade was also caught in a struggle. On one side was the peace that she had been searching for her whole life, and on the other side was the village that her grandfather had built and passed down, and she grew up in. The weight of the two was placed on the scales, and Tsunade's heart swayed left and right.
This was a battle between reason and emotion.
Naruto's words didn't end there.
He looked at Tsunade and Jiraiya, and said in a calm tone: "And now, what you want to protect is the Wood Leaf that belongs to everyone, and not the Flying Ape's Wood Leaf, right?"
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and completely defeated the hesitation in Jiraiya and Tsunade's hearts.
At this time, Tsunade thought of her younger brother and lover who died on the battlefield, as well as the people who were killed by Sarutobi in order to increase the village's combat power, they were fooled into experimenting with Wood Release.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, thought of his fallen comrades, and his disciple, Namikaze Minato.
The peace of the village that they protect has no meaning, as long as the war continues, it will continue to create such tragedies.
At this time, Orochimaru, who has been listening quietly on the side, licked his lips with a smile, and then added fuel to the fire: "There is one thing I didn't tell you, when I did the Mokuton human experiment, I was secretly instructed by Sandaime-sama.
First Hokage, Second Hokage, Mito-sama, and many other special people's bodies are still in the Root's laboratory. "
Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but clench her fists, and her expression changed, and then she laughed at herself: "If I didn't leave the village, maybe I would have died and been sent to the laboratory for some inexplicable reason?"
Jiraiya reached out and held Tsunade's cold hand, and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's all in the past, I will protect you from now on."
After a moment of silence, Jiraiya looked up and said seriously: "Sensei, I also yearn for the peace you talked about, Naruto. I can't be sure whether your approach is right or wrong, but I will always watch you, and I won't let you do anything wrong."
"I will also watch you, Naruto, don't mess around."
On the side, Tsunade also said in a grumpy tone.
After the conversation, Tsunade and Jiraiya couldn't fully accept Naruto's idea of destroying all obstacles, including Wood Leaf, for the sake of peace.
After all, this is the place they grew up in, and they fought for it for half of their lives, it's impossible to just let it go.
But they were willing to watch Naruto do it, and supervise him from the side.
Instead of stopping him before he even started.
