Chapter 67: Understanding the original intention

Chapter 67 Understanding One's True Nature (Seeking recommendation votes, monthly votes, and donations)

The mission took much less time than expected, and the intensity of the fighting was not as great as anticipated. However, its impact on the Eighth Squad was real.

The analysis and reconnaissance of mission intelligence, the exposure of the darkness in people's hearts, the forced killings of the mission, and the intrigue between nobles and ninja villages—everything left the three recent graduates exhausted.

However, these are things they will have to go through sooner or later, and experiencing them so early only proves their excellence.

Back in Konoha, it was already evening. As usual, Yamaguchi Seisuke gave the three of them a day off, while he went to submit his mission report.

Watching Captain Yamaguchi leave, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The mission had been rushed, leaving little free time, and the psychological pressure it had put on them had left them all exhausted. Now, they couldn't wait to go home and rest.

Taichi watched as Yohei and Saori went home, where they could reunite with their families and confide in them, while he was all alone.

Standing on the busiest street in Konoha, watching the friends walking and laughing together,

Despite his family and spouse, Taiyi inexplicably felt a sense of loneliness.

Perhaps due to the intense stimulation of this mission, Taiyi, walking alone on the street, seemed absent-minded. He wandered slowly along the road, like a lonely ghost, passing through the crowd without a clear goal.

After a while, they arrived at Konoha Academy. Looking at the students still studying at the Ninja Academy, and thinking that they might step onto the battlefield in the near future, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After a short while, I arrived at Konoha Hospital. Looking at the constant flow of people, I realized that it would probably become even more crowded in a while.

Taiyi knew that his current state was very wrong, but he just didn't want to wake up. He let his thoughts wander and let pessimistic emotions control him. This is probably what people often call a mental block.

In the future, Obito develops a mental block due to Rin's tragic death, and wants to destroy the ninja world and create a new world with Rin.

Uchiha Ryuu developed a mental block due to the conflict between the village and his clan, and ultimately destroyed his clan with his own hands.

This shows how terrifying mental obstacles can be for a ninja; they can lead a person into a mental trap, causing them to sink deeper and deeper until they can no longer extricate themselves.

As he walked, perhaps bound by the deepest ties of his heart, Taiyi arrived at the place he knew best, where he had spent most of his childhood. Here were the people who cared about him most, and the people he most wanted to protect.

Looking at the familiar words "Orphanage" at the gate, Taiyi finally broke free from his negative emotions and realized that he was not alone after all.

He has Nono, his friends from the orphanage, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Guy and other classmates from the Ninja Academy, and comrades like Yohei and Saori.

He was no longer the lonely person he was when he first awakened; he had so many bonds, people he wanted to protect, and a village he wanted to safeguard.

Thinking this, Taiichi knocked on the orphanage door. Yami, with her pigtails, opened it. When she saw Taiichi standing there, she screamed, "Ah~~ Taiichi-nii is here! Taiichi-nii is here!"

Watching Yami excitedly run into the courtyard to spread the news, Taiichi couldn't help but smile slightly. This was the innocence of childhood that he wanted to protect.

Taiyi pushed open the courtyard gate and had only taken a few steps when more than twenty children rushed out of the courtyard with a "whoosh," all of them showing happy smiles and excitedly surrounding Taiyi.

"Brother Taiichi, it's been so long since you've come to see us." Yami was the first to speak.

"Brother Taiyi, will you stay and play with us today?" the little leader Jiang Tai asked immediately.

"Big brother, did you bring any delicious food?"

"Brother Taiichi, tell us a story."

Each clear call was like a gentle rain, falling upon Taiyi's heart and mending the wounds he had suffered from his mental block.

In the distance, Nono watched quietly from the doorway. She could tell that Taiichi seemed to have something on his mind, but as the children called out to him and he played with them, his worries seemed to be dissipating.

Nonou gradually relaxed and stood quietly to the side, watching.

At this moment, Taiyi was telling the children a story, this time the story of "Jingwei Filling the Sea". The children listened attentively, occasionally asking their own questions, which Taiyi answered one by one with a smile.

Before they knew it, it was quite late. Nono finally arrived and chased away the "troublemakers" who were still begging Taichi to continue telling stories.

The children were reluctant, but in the end, under the supervision of Nono and Taichi, they obediently washed up and went to bed.

Once all the children were asleep, Nono finally found a chance to be alone with Tai.

The cool moonlight bathed the entire courtyard, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees, making the courtyard exceptionally quiet.

Taiichi and Nono came to the courtyard and sat there quietly for a long time without saying a word.

Finally, as the moonlight was obscured by a dark cloud and the courtyard was plunged into darkness, Taiyi slowly recounted the details of the mission.

His voice was flat and subdued, as if he weren't recounting his own experience. Even when he talked about slashing the neck of that 5-year-old child with a dagger, he remained completely calm.

Nono listened quietly. She knew that Taiichi just needed someone to talk to. He was a strong child who had always been able to control his emotions well.

With Taiichi's explanation, Nonou finally understood Taiichi's suffering.

That's how the ninja world is; many young children are forced to go to the battlefield, facing a situation where it's either you kill me or I kill you.

Over time, this will result in many precocious children who lack proper guidance. Their strength is enough for them to easily take lives in battle, but their skewed thinking can easily lead them to extremes.

Fortunately, Taiichi was both lucky and strong. He overcame this crisis by relying on his inner bonds and beliefs.

Nono quietly got up, slowly walked towards Taiichi, gently hugged Taiichi in her arms, patted Taiichi's back, and softly comforted Taiichi just like when they were children.

"There is ugliness and evil, beauty and goodness in the world. We don't need to care about the ugly things, because they will eventually leave us, and what will always accompany us in the end is beauty and goodness."

At this moment, Taiichi buried his head in Nonou's chest, listening to her steady and strong heartbeat, and hearing Nonou's gentle words of comfort. He felt an unparalleled peace in his heart.

"Yes, my only constant companions are Nono-neechan and everyone at the orphanage. As long as you're there, I'll never feel lost again."

Looking at Taichi, who had recovered, Nonou smiled and said, "Being a ninja is a profession full of danger and trials. The reason I didn't want you to graduate so early was because I was afraid you wouldn't be prepared to face all of this."

"Now that I see how you're doing, I can finally relax. Having figured all this out, your future will be much smoother." "Yes, thank you, Nono-neechan."

====

On his way home, reflecting on everything that had happened that day, Taiichi was still shaken. Fortunately, he had the encouragement of Nono and many strong bonds with her; otherwise, the world might have gained another "world-destroying" madman.
