After hanging up the communication with Orochi Maru, although it was already late at night, Hinata didn't feel sleepy at all.
Among the three Holy Lands, the Shikkotsu Forest branch is alone, and all the little slugs are clones of the Slug Sage. The toad of Mount Myoboku also seems to be aloof from worldly affairs, except for providing Jiraiya with information about the Child of Prophecy, it basically doesn't interfere with the affairs of the Shinobi World.
But the Ryuchi Cave is extremely aggressive, and once people who go to the Ryuchi Cave to practice Senjutsu fail, they will become their food.
Every time Manda is summoned, he will ask Orochi Maru to provide him with sacrifices.
Although the law of the food chain of nature is that higher creatures eat lower creatures, Hinata, as a human, still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
People must eat to live, and 'eating' itself is a kind of killing.
In Hinata's previous life, there are many people who advocate the declaration that 'humans should love animals', but pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and other animals always appear on the human table, and no one has ever cried out for them.
Cats and dogs are loved by humans as pets, and that's because humans need to fill their lonely hearts, and humans need companionship, so the term 'pet' came into existence.
As far as Hinata knows, in ancient times, it is forbidden to slaughter cattle, and in some dynasties, slaughtering cattle is a violation of the law, and even death.
This is the nature of human beings.
When cattle are needed to plow the land, the prohibition of killing cattle will be written into the law.
But when humans don't need cattle, they will be raised in groups by humans, slaughtered in groups, and then processed by chefs and placed on the table for everyone to eat.
For humans, whether something is important or not, there are only two relationships: 'need' and 'not need'.
When needed, it is a treasure, and when not needed, it is abandoned.
Pets, protected animals, rare animals, they are precious because they are needed. And those animals that are not needed, no one cares about their life or death.
Hinata knows that the snakes of the Ryuchi Cave are different from humans, and in their view, 'eating humans' is a very normal thing.
However, as a human, Hinata could not accept this fact.
The toads in Mount Myobou also eat insects. If insects have the same intelligence as humans, do you think they will hate the toads?
'Eating' is sinful, but it is also justified … because if you don't eat, you will definitely die.
Previously, Hinata was very reluctant to turn Pu Shi into a Chakra fruit and eat him. Perhaps it was because Pu Shi's appearance was similar to a human's!
This time, even though Hinata knew that they were as intelligent as humans, he did not feel the slightest bit of resistance when facing the Ryuchi Cave.
This was also the reason why Hinata couldn't sleep.
Hinata was reflecting on his previous psychological state when facing Pu Shi. Was it a bit hypocritical?
In all fairness, as an alien, Urashi is completely different from the human beings in the ninja world. In Pu Shi's opinion, he might not even consider himself a 'human'.
After transmigrating to the ninja world, Hinata has never avoided the matter of 'killing'.
To become a ninja, it is necessary to kill.
Hinata used to think that killing people is different from eating people. Hinata can eat all the animals in the world without any psychological burden, but he can't accept eating people.
Hinata especially liked to eat fried chicken in his previous life, but when he thought of the tens of thousands of chickens in the chicken farm, they were destined to be eaten from the moment they were born. Humans hatched them from their eggshells, then raised them up, and finally put them on the table.
But in his heart, Hinata felt uncomfortable. Could it be that he would never eat again?
In Hinata's previous life, perhaps because life was too good, there were always some people who felt that slaughtering animals was very cruel, but they ate meat more delicious than anyone else.
"Uncle Snake …"
Hinata once again contacted Orochi Maru.
Orochi Maru: "…"
"There is a very serious question I want to ask about, it is about life …"
Hinata went straight to the point, and his tone was not as joking as before, but seriously asked: "What do you think the things in this world are? What are human beings? "
"You killed so many people for human experiments, during the Shinobi World War, every ninja killed people, and the Yondaime, who was called a hero by Shinobu, killed countless people."
"Is it just because the meaning of killing is different, and the starting point of killing is different, some people can be forgiven, and even praised as heroes, and some people have to be labeled as' evil '?"
Orochi Maru was rarely interested. Compared to gossip with Hinata, Orochi Maru preferred to discuss the philosophy of life, especially the meaning of life.
"Hahahaha …"
Orochi Maru's hoarse laughter was a bit gloomy, and his tone was playful: "I really didn't misjudge you, Hinata Hinata … You are different from those people."
Hinata asked again: "Uncle Snake, what do you think of these things?"
Hinata was indeed a bit confused. Although Hinata killed many people after becoming a ninja, he didn't take it to heart. But every time he thought of these things, his heart would be somewhat confused.
Orochi Maru's pair of snake eyes flashed, and his tone was gloomy: "Life itself has no value, but as long as people are alive, they will definitely find something interesting and strive for it all their life."
"The reason why you have these troubles is because your mind is still bound by the rules, and those who created the rules use the rules to bind you to achieve their goal."
Hinata refuted: "But if there are no rules in this world, then wouldn't it be a mess?"
Orochi Maru sneered, and his tone was disdainful, and even somewhat mocking: "For people like us, what's the difference between the world being peaceful and the world being in chaos?"
"Naruto protected Shinobu, protected the Land of Fire, because Naruto enjoyed the power, so he had to take the responsibility of 'protection'."
"Responsibility, on the other hand, is something that is imposed on you by others!"
Speaking of this, Orochi Maru's tone was slightly cold, as if he was thinking of something unhappy.
"The eldest daughter of the Hyuga family …"
"You enjoy the status of the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, so you have the heart to protect the Hyuga family. Maybe it's because of the fetters, or maybe it's because you don't want to lose the privilege of being the heir of the Hyuga family … "
"You think that protecting the Hyuga family is your responsibility, but for Danzō, perhaps controlling or even destroying the Hyuga family is his responsibility."
"You, who are bound by responsibility and rules … Do you really have the courage to get rid of them?"
Hinata was silent for a long time. Orochi Maru's words seemed to be unorthodox, but there was a certain degree of truth in them.
As long as you are not bound by rules and responsibilities, there is no difference between the world being in chaos and the world being in peace.
I am still me, and that is enough.
But humans are social animals, and their lonely hearts need something to fill them. Being alone is the most terrible thing in the world.
Hinata asked curiously: "Uncle Orochi, are you lonely?"
"Lonely … Perhaps!"
Under the moonlight, Orochi Maru stood quietly in the forest, surrounded by darkness. The bright moonlight reflected on Orochi Maru's body, as if he was standing on the opposite side of the world.
There was a huge gap between man and the world.
