Killing and seizing the power of others, Hinata had seen similar examples in many novels in her previous life.
Hinata originally thought that he wouldn't have any psychological burden and would be able to face this kind of thing calmly. But when it really came down to it, Hinata had an inexplicable feeling of disgust.
This was different from killing people. This could be considered cannibalism.
Even in the ninja education, they will never let a ninja rely on eating human flesh to survive in the case of food shortage.
"Is it really worth it to abandon all bottom lines and morals in order to obtain so-called strength and longevity?"
Hinata could not help but ask himself.
At this moment, Hinata's heart was very firm, and there was not a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
After Pu Shi was sealed, Hinata had told himself more than once that sooner or later, he would turn Pu Shi into a Chakra fruit and eat it.
However, even though his heart was already as firm as steel, Hinata's movements still hesitated.
This was different from the fusion of the Corpse Bone Meridian and the Wood Release. Even if the essence was to seize the power of others, to turn people into Chakra fruits and eat them … Hinata could not overcome his conscience.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Pu Shi frantically resisted Hinata. This was a confrontation of eye techniques.
If Hinata had not turned the Truth-Seeking Jade into a stick and inserted it into Pu Shi's limbs, Pu Shi's resistance would have been even more intense and tenacious.
"If I really do such a thing, can I still be called a 'human'?"
"The Chakra fruit is just a form of power. Pu Shi died during the transformation process. This can't be considered as eating humans, it's just a way to gain power. "
"Absolutely not! If I really did such a thing, I would have lost my bottom line. "
"What is human nature? Think about immortality, think about the power to traverse the universe … As long as you have these, your lost humanity will be found one day. "
In Hinata's heart, there seemed to be an angel and a demon arguing fiercely. One of them wanted Hinata to obtain power at all costs, while the other was trying to persuade Hinata to retain the last bit of humanity for Hinata.
Even Hinata was repeatedly trying to convince himself that the Chakra fruit was not a Pu form, it was just a form of power.
Hinata had absorbed Pu Shi's Chakra, and had also fused the power of Corpse Bone Pulse and Wood Release … Now, he had only transformed Pu Shi into a Chakra fruit, and had not really eaten Pu Shi.
As long as he could become stronger, what did it matter?
Hinata's actions, thoughts, and hearts seemed to be divided into different camps. They were fighting with each other, trying to persuade each other to give up.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Hinata roared crazily, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He kept telling himself in his heart, "Do it this time, and only this time."
However, this thought could no longer control Hinata's actions. The remaining five Truth-Seeking Balls on Hinata's back turned into spikes and instantly pierced into Pu Shi's body, killing him completely.
"Huff … Huff … Huff …"
Hinata panted crazily, and his heart was filled with endless regret. However, Hinata's soul seemed to have obtained some kind of relief, and his whole body was completely relaxed.
"All this time, what was my purpose for persevering?"
"Huff … Huff …"
Hinata's clothes were already soaked in cold sweat, but Hinata turned a blind eye to it. Instead, he questioned himself again and again in the depths of his heart.
"What happened to me during this period of time?"
"All my perseverance and effort, what was it all for?"
On the road to obtaining power, the difficulty was not the method, but the interrogation and self-blame that came from the soul.
Hinata actually had a clear conscience about 'eating people' before.
How frightening was this thought?
Now that he thought about it again, Hinata suddenly had an urge to cry.
"I almost don't know myself …"
Hinata felt that his pursuit was not wrong.
As human beings, what's wrong with yearning for immortality and power?
What Hinata was wrong was actually the method, the behavior of pursuing power by any means.
Although Hinata has always said that he is the boss behind the scenes of the ninja world, the ultimate villain of the ninja world, Hinata has always had a moral bottom line that he must adhere to.
That is the bottom line of being called 'human'.
Hinata reflected on what he had done during this period of time, quietly feeling his gains and losses.
The uneasiness in his conscience made Hinata not dare to provoke the war of the five great ninja villages, because it would make Hinata feel that his hands were full of blood.
Even if Hinata's hands were not clean for a long time, Hinata still left a piece of pure land for himself deep in his heart.
After a long time, Hinata raised his head slightly.
There is no air flow in space, even in the Tenseigan Chakra mode, it will be difficult to adapt after staying in space for a long time.
In such an environment, Hinata must consume his own energy to maintain his vital signs.
Hinata didn't say a word and silently flew back to the ninja world.
At this moment, Hinata suddenly wanted to talk to Hyōgo, hoping that Hyōgo can show him the direction of the future.
Hinata was looking forward to someone who could tell him that what he did was not wrong.
Before entering the ninja world, Hinata looked back at Pu Shi for the last time, using the power of the Tenseigan to bury Pu Shi in a meteorite, and then pushed him into the depths of the universe.
"In the end … I still couldn't break through myself."
Hinata felt that he was very weak, and there was some regret in his heart, regretting that he gave up such a powerful force.
"Alas!"
With a sigh, Hinata flew all the way back to Shinobu, in the back mountain of Shinobu, and then returned to the Hyuga Residence.
"Father!"
Kneeling opposite Hyōgo, Hinata's small face was tense, and his eyes were extremely serious.
Hyōgo, as usual, had a poker face, as if nothing can change his expression.
"What's wrong?"
Hyōgo keenly noticed Hinata's abnormality, "This time you secretly left the village, did you encounter something difficult to solve?"
"Yes!"
Hinata nodded, feeling a little wronged.
Hyōgo calmly said, "Tell me!"
Hinata was silent for a moment, struggling for a long time, and then weakly said, "Father, the hidden danger of your Rinnegan has been eliminated."
Hyōgo touched his eyes, and then asked, "You left the village this time for this matter?"
"Yes!"
Hinata lowered his head, and his tone was a little lost, "Father, do you think I was wrong?"
With that said, Hinata talked about his hesitation when facing Pu Shi, and the inner struggle at that time.
"I've already seen the path to immortality. To me, it's almost within reach …"
"I used to think that I would do anything to get power, but when it really came down to it, I became weak."
"I can't do it at all!"
Hinata was a little frustrated, and also a little wronged, "If I really turned Pu Shi into a Chakra fruit and ate it, I don't think I can be regarded as a human anymore."
