In the distance, the White Zetsu army has begun to take over the remaining population of Wood Leaf.
Those who were injured were treated by White Zetsu who had learned simple medical ninjutsu.
The ninjas were stripped of their weapons and Ninja Tool Bags, and their Chakra was sealed with Sealing Jutsu, and they were guarded together with the ordinary people.
Next, White Zetsu began to distribute food and water to them.
All of this was carried out in an orderly manner. Those Konoha's Ninjas, who had been shocked by Naruto's previous display of power, had no intention of resisting at this time and were extremely cooperative.
Flying Ape, who was trapped in Infinite Izanami and couldn't extricate himself, was also brought to Naruto by a White Zetsu.
Hashirama and Madara, and Tobirama and Mito, who had already recovered, quietly watched everything that happened in front of them.
Minato brought Kushina and Tsunade, who was sent away before the war, to Naruto's side.
"Naruto, can you tell me why you destroyed Wood Leaf?"
Hashirama looked at Sarutobi, who was lying on the ground, with a complicated look in his eyes, then focused on Naruto and asked.
Although Hashirama was angry at first because of the destruction of Wood Leaf, as he calmed down, Hashirama found that there may be more deep-seated reasons behind it that he didn't know.
The Naruto in front of him didn't have the darkness of an avenger, nor was he hysterical like a madman, but he was calm and rational.
Those who were still alive in Wood Leaf proved that he wasn't a devil who wanted to destroy the world.
If it was before, Hashirama would have thought that Naruto, as the son of Yondaime, would be treated well, and it would be impossible for him to do such a thing to Wood Leaf, but now he wouldn't be so naive.
Even his Senju Clan and Madara's Uchiha Clan were destroyed by Sarutobi, so Naruto, as a Jinchuriki, suffered a lot when he was a child.
On the side, Tsunade just wanted to speak and answer her grandfather's doubts.
Naruto waved his hand to stop her, and then raised his hand to reflect a water curtain, showing his childhood experience.
Everyone, including Hashirama, saw Naruto's childhood life.
As the son of a hero, Naruto didn't enjoy the treatment he deserved.
What he faced was the pervasive malice and isolation of the people in the village. Everyone shouted to kill Naruto, and even the basic life was a problem.
An adult in such an environment can't survive, and a fragile person may commit suicide, let alone a child like Naruto.
God knows how he survived the dark years of his childhood.
With such an experience, it was completely reasonable for Naruto to attack Wood Leaf. Even if Hashirama didn't agree, he couldn't deny his choice.
Because it was the village that was sorry for Naruto.
Tobirama was also moved.
He sighed and couldn't help but lament in his heart that these disciples of his had copied his attitude of dealing with matters to the best of his ability. However, their breadth of mind and means were far inferior to his.
If it were him, he would never force Naruto to the opposite side.
Mito looked at Naruto with some pity in her eyes.
As the first generation of Column Force, as the first Hokage's wife, the second Column Force, Kushina had her help at the beginning, and later she had Minato's support.
Coupled with her strong personality, she has never suffered a loss because of this, even if there are some rumors in the village, it's not a big deal.
She didn't expect that when it came to Naruto, the third generation of Column Force, it would be so tragic, but because of this, he had to bear the pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at his age.
On the side, Minato and Kushina looked at all this, and they couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Even if they already knew Naruto's childhood experience, but at this moment, seeing it again, it still made their hearts ache, especially Minato, who couldn't help but regret.
If he had chosen to stay with Naruto, then he wouldn't have to go through such a dark childhood.
Standing next to Naruto, Tsunade sighed and didn't say anything. She reached out and patted Naruto's shoulder to comfort him. Although it was the first time she saw Naruto's childhood experience in such detail.
But she knew that Naruto wasn't a fragile person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing on the ruins of Wood Leaf at this moment.
Facing the complex expressions of everyone, Naruto's expression didn't change, he said calmly: "The world is ignorant, so there will be isolation, prejudice, and war."
"First Hokage-Sama, you created Wood Leaf and brought peace to the people in the village, but you didn't see that there are more people in this world who are in pain and turmoil."
"The peace you pursued was narrow and fragile. You placed all your hopes on yourself, so the peace you established collapsed after your death. The world is still in turmoil even now."
With Naruto's narration, a new picture began to appear on the water curtain.
Then, Hashirama saw the changes in the ninja world in the decades after his death.
At this moment, Hashirama was silent.
The peace he pursued didn't come true.
After Hashirama's death, war returned to the world.
The First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War, the Third Shinobi World War …
Hashirama dreamed of making everyone in the village live happily, but during the Shinobi World War, even the children who were only a few years old were forced to graduate from the ninja school in advance to join the battlefield.
Because of the existence of the ninja village, the intensity of the war was even greater than during the Warring States period, and more people died than before.
In the village protected by Hashirama, even in peaceful times, the children weren't as happy as he imagined.
Naruto was just a microcosm of this environment.
Many children's lives weren't as painful as Naruto's, but they weren't much better.
"You asked me why I want to destroy Wood Leaf?"
"I said that Wood Leaf has become an obstacle to peace at this moment."
"I want to unify this ninja world and create a unified human empire to eliminate war, so that people can be completely relieved from the pain of war, so that they can get real peace."
"And the old ninja village and the nobles represented by Wood Leaf will certainly not be willing to give up the power in their hands."
With Naruto's words, the picture displayed on the water curtain changed again.
This time, what appeared in front of everyone was the war scenes from various frontlines.
