Naruto Pararel 17

Title : The Bet

“Because everyone in Konoha is living very happily right now!” Naruto from the other world replied without thinking.

“Very happy? Happier than the Imperial citizens? Ask your own heart, then remember what you just saw and heard.”

Imperial Minato gently reminded him.

“This...” Naruto from the other world was stunned.

Recalling one by one the fashionable and beautiful men and women he saw on the street earlier, remembering the smiles on their faces and their full vitality.

Also the beautiful and tall houses, and the goods and food in some shops.

Naruto from the other world had to inwardly admit that the standard of living of the Empire’s common people far surpassed Konoha’s.

“Although the Empire’s common people live well, this is not our homeland after all; Konoha is our homeland. Forced conquest will only bring war and destruction.”

Yamato then stepped forward again and said.

“This kind of thinking, how similar it is to ours in the past...”

Imperial Tsunade then let out a long sigh.

“This is the limitation of the thinking of people in the ninja village era. People always like to stick to what they understand, finding it difficult to accept new things.”

Imperial Jiraiya unconsciously showed a bitter smile.

“Hmph... isn’t this the unique foolishness of humans? Fortunately, there is His Majesty the Emperor, who saved us from that era of darkness and ignorance.”

Imperial Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at the figure on the throne, his eyes showing a hint of fanaticism.

“Someone who hasn’t lived in the Empire for some time will never be able to understand the greatness of His Majesty the Emperor, and the entire Empire. So... little Naruto! Stay here for some time, and then make a decision, how about it?” Imperial Kushina also said.

“No! I don’t want to stay here! You’re all bad people!”

Naruto from the other world looked at the Imperial people with a bit of anger, labeling all these people with bad intentions.

“How selfish... Uzumaki Naruto... is this what the ninja village taught you?”

At that moment, Ryuji on the throne finally spoke again.

Hearing that, Naruto from the other world was furious:

“Annoying! Selfish? You want to invade Konoha, and we’re not allowed to resist?”

“Uzumaki Naruto, you are just an individual; you don’t represent anyone. You clearly know that joining the Empire can make everyone’s lives better, but you refuse, isn’t that selfish?”

“In your narrow heart, there is only Konoha, only the education of the ninja village era; there is absolutely no happy future for the people after unification, nor do you see such a future.”

“Your Majesty! I believe that everyone in Konoha loves that land; our ancestors have lived there for generations. It’s impossible to leave that place, nor will they submit to anyone.”

“Everyone in Konoha is like the leaves fluttering in the village, one generation after another multiplying and growing actively. If you are a kind person, you shouldn’t try to conquer the world, conquer Konoha.”

“Inciting war, dragging everyone into the chaos of war, is not what a kind person should do.”

Yamato said with a serious expression.

“Captain Yamato is right. Your Majesty... you already have this world; isn’t that still not satisfying you?”

Sakura also said, her expression very worried.

The Shinobi Empire was too strong!

Facing them directly, the ninja world had no chance of winning at all.

The Imperial people heard the words of the two, showing mocking smiles.

Was this group pretending to be stupid, or were they really that naive?

“Satisfied? Human desire is fundamentally limitless; who would refuse to have more? Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor is doing this more to save the pathetic people of the ninja village era. You group of rebels who don’t understand His Majesty’s greatness! You should all be put to death!”

Without needing the Imperial people to speak, Mukade voluntarily shouted loudly.

“You annoying bastard! You’re clearly from our world too, why are you saying such things!” Naruto from the other world glared.

The veins in his fists bulged.

“I just want to live in a more civilized and advanced world. Hiss... hah... try to smell it, the air in this world is so sweet and enchanting! Ah! This is civilization and freedom!”

While speaking, Mukade took a deep breath, his expression intoxicated.

This appearance made Naruto from the other world’s team feel an unspeakable disgust.

“In contrast, the world ruled by those useless daimyo is truly foolish and backward! Even the air is filled with a disgusting stench! That world! It needs to be changed!” Mukade finally said excitedly.

“Annoying bastard! I...” Naruto from the other world still wanted to say something.

Ryuji’s calm and authoritative voice was heard:

“Uzumaki Naruto, Yamato, Haruno Sakura, Sai. Let’s make a bet. If you win, I can give up on conquering Konoha, even your entire world. But if you lose, then you must cooperate and surrender unconditionally, how about it?”

“Bet? What bet?”

Naruto from the other world asked cautiously.

“Do we have the right to refuse?”

Yamato smiled bitterly.

“It’s simple, wait until our people enter your world. We will invite a hundred ordinary people to experience the life of ordinary people on our side, and they will decide whether to join or refuse, how about it?”

“This method is good! Indeed, Your Majesty, truly came up with a good idea instantly! Let a hundred ordinary people experience life on our side, and they decide whether to leave or stay. That way, we respect everyone’s will and avoid the outbreak of war.”

Imperial Minato’s eyes lit up, he said with a hint of joy.

“Ah! Your Majesty the Emperor! You clearly have the power to conquer everything, yet you are so generous! You fools, why aren’t you quick to thank him?”

Mukade glared at Naruto from the other world’s team.

Naruto from the other world hesitated slightly.

“Why? You can’t even agree to these terms? Truly ninja village era people, one by one selfish, sanctimonious hypocrites... Only yourselves are in your hearts.”

Imperial Sasuke provoked.

“Annoying! Bet then bet! I believe in everyone in Konoha!”

Naruto from the other world angrily shouted.

Yamato just smiled bitterly; they had no right to refuse at all.

“Then it’s decided, Minato, Kushina, you arrange the accommodations for these honored guests from another world well. Oh yes, also send them to the Imperial Capital Middle School to learn martial arts.” Ryuji said.

“What? Let us learn martial arts?”

Naruto from the other world’s team were all shocked, then overjoyed!

That was a powerful energy different from chakra; its strength, Naruto from the other world’s team understood very well.

If they could learn it, their strength would definitely increase rapidly!

But... these people were the ones who would invade the ninja world, could they really be so kind?

“Your Majesty! These four people haven’t sincerely joined the Empire, letting them learn martial arts, isn’t that a bit...”

Hiashi, who hadn’t said much until then, finally spoke up.

Many others also showed concern.

It was Imperial Sasuke whose eyes lit up and said:

“Why? Is the Hyuga clan head worried that teaching martial arts to people from another world will threaten us? Don’t forget what His Majesty once said.”
