Konoha's white-eyed princess

Chapter 405 Eating, a natural sin

Hanging up the communication with Orochimaru, although it was late at night, Hinata didn't feel sleepy at all.

Among the Three Sacred Lands, the wet bone forest is alone, and all the little slugs are clones of the slug fairy.The toad of Mt. Miaomu seems to be aloof from the world, and apart from providing Jiraiya with information about the Son of Prophecy, he basically doesn't interfere with the affairs of the ninja world.

However, Longdi Cave is extremely aggressive. Once people who go to Longdi Cave to practice fairy arts fail, they will become their food.

Every time Wanshe alone is psychic out, he will also ask Orochimaru to provide him with sacrifices.

Although the law of the food chain in nature is that higher organisms eat lower organisms, but as a human being, Hinata still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

People must eat when they are alive, and 'eating' itself is a kind of killing.

In Hinata's previous life, many people advocated the declaration that "human beings should love animals", but animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese always appear on human tables, and no one has ever called out a word of injustice for them. .

Cats and dogs are cherished by humans as pets. It is because the lonely hearts of humans need to be filled and humans need to be accompanied, so the term "pet" appeared.

As far as Hinata knows, in the ancient times of the previous life, cattle were forbidden to be slaughtered. In some dynasties, slaughtering farm cattle would violate the law and even cost their lives.

Such 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 do not need cattle, cattle are raised in groups by humans, slaughtered in groups, and then processed by chefs and placed on the dining table for everyone to use.

For human beings, whether something is important or not has only two relationships: 'need' and 'not need'.

Treat it like a treasure when you need it, and throw it away when you don't need it.

Pets, protected animals, and rare animals are precious because of need.And those animals that are not needed, no one cares about their life or death.

Hinata knew in her heart that the snakes in Longdi Cave were different from humans, and it seemed normal for them to eat people.

It's just that Hinata, as a human being, cannot accept this fact.

The toads in Mount Miaomu still eat bugs. If bugs have the same intelligence as humans, do you think they will hate toads?

'Eating' is sinful, but it is justified... because if you don't eat, you will definitely die.

When facing Urashiki before, Hinata was very resistant to transforming him into a chakra fruit to eat, probably because Urashiki's appearance is similar to humans!

Facing Longdi Cave this time, even though Hinata knew that their intelligence was no less than that of humans, she didn't feel any resistance in her heart.

The reason why Hinata couldn't sleep was precisely because of this incident.

Hinata was reflecting on whether her mental state when facing Urashiki was a bit hypocritical.

In all fairness, Ura Shiki, as an alien, is completely different from the humans in the ninja world.Even in Pu Shi's view, he doesn't necessarily consider himself a 'human'.

After traveling to the ninja world, Hinata has never shy away from the matter of 'killing'.

To be a ninja is to kill.

Hinata used to think that killing people was different from cannibalism. Hinata could eat all animals in the world without any psychological burden, but she couldn't accept cannibalism herself.

In her previous life, Hinata liked to eat fried chicken, but when she thought of the tens of thousands of chickens in the chicken farm, they were destined to be eaten from birth.Humans hatch them from their eggshells, raise them to grow, and serve them on the dinner table.

But the pain in my heart is the pain. Could it be that Hinata has stopped eating since then?

In Hinata's previous life, perhaps because life was so good, some people always felt that slaughtering animals was cruel, but they tasted meat better than anyone else.

"Uncle Snake..."

Hinata contacted Orochimaru again.

Orochimaru:"……"

"I have a very serious question I want to ask, it's about life..."

Hinata got straight to the point, and her tone was not as joking as in the past, but she asked seriously: "What do you think is everything in this world? What are human beings?"

"You killed so many people through human experiments. In the ninja world war, every ninja has killed people. The fourth generation, who is called a hero by Konoha, has killed an unknown number of people."

"Could it be that 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, while some people will be labeled as 'evil'?"

Orochimaru is rarely interested. Rather than gossip with Hinata, Orochimaru prefers to discuss the philosophy of life, especially the meaning of life.

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru's hoarse laughter was a bit gloomy, and the tone was playful: "I really didn't misunderstand you, Hinata Hinata...you are different from those people."

Hinata asked again: "Uncle Snake, what do you think of these things?"

Hinata is indeed a little confused, although Hinata has killed many people after becoming a ninja, she didn't take it to heart afterwards.But every time I think about these things, I feel a little confused in my heart.

Orochimaru's snake pupils shone brightly, and said in a gloomy tone: "Life itself has no value, but as long as people are still alive, they will definitely find interesting things, and call them ideals and strive for life."

"The reason why you have these troubles is because your mind is still bound by rules. Those who create rules use rules to restrain you to achieve what they want to achieve."

Hinata retorted: "But if there are no rules in this world, wouldn't it be a mess?"

Orochimaru sneered, with a disdainful tone, and even said mockingly: "For people like us, what is the difference between the world is peaceful and the world is in chaos?"

"Hokage wants to protect Konoha and the Land of Fire, because Hokage enjoys the rights, so it has to assume the responsibility of 'protecting'."

"And 'responsibility' itself is imposed on you by others!"

Speaking of this, Dashewan's tone was slightly cold, as if he had thought of something unhappy.

"Miss Hinata's family..."

"Enjoying the status of the eldest lady of the Hinata family, that's why you have the heart to protect the Hinata family. Maybe it's a bond, or maybe it's because you don't want to lose the privilege of being the heir to the Hinata family..."

"You feel that it is your responsibility to protect the Hyuga family, but for Danzo, it may be his responsibility to control or even destroy the Hyuga family."

"You who are bound by responsibilities and rules...do you really have the courage to get rid of these?"

Hinata was silent for a long time when she heard the words. Orochimaru's words seemed deviant, but they also had some truth.

As long as you are not bound by rules and responsibilities, there is actually no difference between chaos and peace.

I'm still me, and that's enough.

But human beings live in groups, and the lonely heart needs something to fill.A person is the scariest thing in this world.

Hinata asked curiously, "Uncle Snake, are you lonely?"

"Lonely...maybe!"

Under the moonlight, Orochimaru stood quietly in the woods, surrounded by darkness like ghosts, and the bright moonlight reflected on Orochimaru, as if standing on the opposite side of the whole world.

There is a huge gap between man and the world.
