"A terrifying Genjutsu?"
Vegapunk tilted his head, a half-smile on his face:
"I don't think this Genjutsu is terrifying at all. It's just helping everyone fulfill their dreams. Is it really that scary?"
Minato Namikaze frowned, looking at Vegapunk with a serious expression:
"Can't the events of this time demonstrate the terror of this kind of Genjutsu? If things go on like this, the majority of people in this world will indulge in this terrible Genjutsu and be unwilling to wake up at all!"
The smile on Vegapunk's lips slowly faded. He took a serious look at the somewhat agitated Minato Namikaze and said indifferently:
"No, what's terrifying isn't the Genjutsu. The Genjutsu just gives people a perfect life to make up for their regrets—what's truly terrifying is this hellish world!"
The conflicts in the Naruto World are even more frequent and chaotic than in the One Piece World. The One Piece World seems to be in constant turmoil, but a large part of that is because the World Government has ruled the seas for 800 years, reaching the limit of the dynastic cycle, which is why such chaos appears.
If you push the timeline back, although the One Piece World wasn't exactly a great place—with pirates running rampant across the sea—on the whole, the various allied nations certainly didn't have that many wars and conflicts.
But the Naruto World is different. These Ninjas seem to be able to start wars rashly for any reason, without caring about anyone's life at all.
You have to know that the cruelest era of Ninja clans only ended 50 years ago. According to the dynastic cycle, theoretically, this period should be the golden age for the newly established Five Great Nations and Five Great Ninja Villages to recuperate and develop normally. In fact, this 50-year phase should be the most peaceful and prosperous period.
As a result, these Ninjas launched three Ninja World Wars in 50 years, leaving the whole world devastated, with major Ninja villages suffering heavy casualties. Many Ninjas cursed the cruelty of war while unhesitatingly heading to the battlefield.
If the major Ninja villages were trying to unify the world, Vegapunk could understand it a little. After all, even within the dynastic cycle, there are special eras like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
However, in reality, none of the battles between the major Ninja villages had the clear goal of unifying the world. More often than not, it was just to compete for benefits, or to put it bluntly, just to plunder.
Perhaps there was some hatred mixed in between the major Ninja villages, but to say that these could constitute the real reason for war is unacceptable.
Hearing Vegapunk's words, Minato Namikaze's face looked a bit ugly, but he still tried to refute:
"Konoha has always been the side that suffers aggression. We are just defending our own Ninja village..."
Vegapunk glanced at Minato Namikaze with a half-smile on his face. Seeing Vegapunk's expression halfway through his sentence, Minato Namikaze's face turned a little red.
Although Konoha is the group that has been invaded the most, to say that it has never interfered with other countries would be a joke. At the very least, when the Land of Rain was ambitiously trying to become the Sixth Great Ninja Village, Konoha was the first to take the lead in attacking it. Otherwise, why would Hanzou have to face off against the Sannin?
As the almost certain Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze knew quite a bit about the dark side of Konoha. He had long known that Konoha wasn't really the righteous savior of the Ninja World, and in fact, it had just as much dirty laundry as any other Ninja village.
But regardless, as his home village, he was definitely standing on Konoha's side.
Once Minato Namikaze stopped speaking, Vegapunk finally said:
"What happens to Konoha has nothing to do with me, and I don't think this world is chaotic because of my Genjutsu. If you want me to stop, I don't think just using your mouth will be enough!"
"So, will you keep using this kind of Genjutsu? It seems I can only defeat you directly!"
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and looked steadily at Vegapunk.
At this moment, the anxious young Obito finally couldn't help it and hurriedly spoke up:
"Um... Minato-sensei... and Senior, you guys..."
"Alright, kid, say less!"
The Masked Man in young Obito's eyes, the other Obito, spoke directly,
"Everyone has their own beliefs and paths. When the paths of two sides don't align, then one can only rely on fists to decide right and wrong!"
"The question now is only one, kid. Which side will you choose?"
