Chapter 277: A New Direction
"You, the so-called 'artist', are nothing more than a plagiarism maniac."
Naruto hated the iron and said: "Plagiarizing three generations of Kazekage is complacent, thinking that it is a 'masterpiece' created by himself, do you plan to copy all five shadows and make them into puppets to brag about when you have the opportunity in the future?" ”
The scorpion head was almost unable to lift up, but fortunately the puppet body did not blush, but it was impossible to see whether he was ashamed or not.
"At least...... At least my puppet is strong......"
The scorpion replied weakly.
"You don't know anything about power!"
Naruto sighed and said, "Not to mention just a Magnetic Escape Three Generations Wind Shadow, even if you have created all the Five Shadow Puppets, it is not enough to dismantle the real powerhouse in one round." Take Madara Uchiha as an example, if he wants to dismantle your puppet, just move your fingers! And he is just a slightly larger toad in the well of the ninja planet. ”
Rubbing out a spiral pill casually, with a flash of golden light, the three generations of Wind Shadow puppets were smashed into sawdust by Naruto, he didn't use the Immortal Method-Quantum Collapse Spiral Pill, just the combo of the Flying Thunder God and the Spiral Pill instantly killed the work that the scorpion was proud of.
"Any idea what your problem is?"
Naruto flashed back to the same place and continued to teach the scorpion a lesson: "It is because I am accustomed to following the trend of plagiarism, and is keen to imitate the known powerhouses in the ninja world and create any human puppets, that I gradually lost my heart and creativity and restrained my imagination." ”
The scorpion was speechless, and sat down on the ground with a slumpy look, as if he had lost his motivation.
"And the 'eternal art' you are passionate about, and you have even transformed yourself into a puppet in order to live longer. Is living for a long time an art? ”
Naruto didn't intend to let him go, and continued to question: "People have to live well, do meaningful things, some people live, he is dead, some people die, but he lives, living is not the ultimate goal of life, but to do something meaningful, otherwise you will live more and more boring, and eternal life has become a curse." ”
The scorpion looked up in confusion and asked, "How can eternal life be a curse?" ”
Naruto said, "I have a way to make your dream of 'eternal life' come true immediately, the way is very simple, just reincarnate you in the dirt and never lift it, will you be satisfied with doing so?" Is life complete? If your pursuit is so low, then kill yourself. ”
The scorpion sighed, and really opened the energy core hatch in his chest, hesitating whether to use the spikes on the puppet's arm to pierce the soul core, and simply commit suicide.
In the original plot, the scorpion has a strong suicidal tendency, and his death at the hands of the "father" and "mother" puppets controlled by Chiyo's mother-in-law is actually a disguised suicide. After he was reincarnated in the Filthy Earth, he unexpectedly liked the Filthy Earth Reincarnation, a life form that could be "immortalized".
Naruto talked nonsense with him, but the purpose was not to use his mouth to escape and say to them to death, seeing that the scorpion was really going to commit suicide, Naruto hurriedly stopped and said: "You have to think clearly, I will keep my promise to reincarnate you in the soil, but I will also immediately stuff you into a rocket and send you into space, so that you can become an immortal cosmic drifter, anyway, the meaning of your life is to live, and the long-term stay in the world of the reincarnation of the filthy earth will affect the balance of chakra yin and yang." ”
The scorpion hesitated this time, not knowing whether to commit suicide to gain eternal life in solitude, or to continue to live.
"You guys!"
Looking at the artistic duo who lost their souls and lost their goals in life, Naruto said helplessly: "I thought there was something different about you two ninjas who didn't want to be ninjas, but after communicating with you, I found out that you are also victims of the inferior enlightenment education of ninjas." ”
"I thought the self-proclaimed artist would be a little more cultured than the average ninja."
Shaking his head, Naruto smiled bitterly, "Now I understand that the art of the two of you is nothing but stupidity and obsession, and it is also a manifestation of lack of cultural literacy." As an artist, I don't ask you to create excellent works that enrich the amateur cultural life of the people in the ninja world, but at least you should be a little self-aware, right? You know, not all kinds of self-expression can be called art. ”
"Art is a beautiful creation that serves others, not the emperor's new clothes imposed on others by flaunting one's own personality!"
Naruto said, "The reason why no one has pierced your artist mask is because ninjas are of a lower level of education and don't understand or disdain to appreciate art. Your art is not only not beneficial to society and the people, but also has caused great harm, and even those vulgar and kitsch H books are more valuable and meaningful than your works! ”
Frowning and thinking, Naruto said puzzledly, "How come you have the face to call yourself an artist?" Are you really doing performance art? Use your ignorant and absurd behavior to satirize the injustice of the ninja system, and accuse the ninja village of poisoning and encroaching on children's hearts? Are you using your lives to warn future generations? It's art in a sense......"
Deidara and Scorpion were about to be scolded stupidly by Naruto, and although they didn't understand Naruto's words, they also understood that they seemed to have done stupid things for most of their lives.
They are not engaged in performance art, in fact, they just dropped out of school since childhood, grew up in a poor environment, and were extremely disappointed in the era of ninjas, thinking that it is meaningless to be a ninja who only knows how to kill, but unfortunately born in a ninja village and ninja clan, and must bear the fate of becoming a ninja, so they pinned their nihilistic life ideals on the more nihilistic "artistic pursuit".
Both of them were suicides, and both died by suicide in the original plot, which fully demonstrates their empty nature of being disappointed in reality, ignorant, confused, and misanthropic.
The art duo spread out on the ground, looking like they couldn't even breathe, and Naruto sighed again and said, "For the sake of you who still have a little bit of scientific talent, I'll show you a path that makes a little bit of sense." ”
Naruto walked over, pulled up Deidara, pointed to the distant starry sky and said to him, "Don't you want to try to blow up a star in your lifetime?" Putting the sun in a furnace and using a magnetic field to restrain the eternal flames of fission explosions and create infinite energy for humanity is much more interesting than watching fireworks pass away in an instant, right? ”
"But...... I...... I don't understand what you mean by fusion fission, can you do it? ”
"Whether you can do it or not depends on whether you are willing to learn or not, and if you continue to mix ignorance as a personality, of course you can't do it!"
Naruto patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're still young, you're only twenty years old now, and you still have a lot of time to study, I can teach you." ”
Deidara nodded, shh......h
Naruto came to the scorpion again, reached out and cupped his cheeks, taking a closer look at his face.
"Actually, your most proud work is not useless, compared to the puppets of the three generations of Kazekage, your real best work is actually this puppet body."
The scorpion's blank eyes gradually became focused, and he asked, "My puppet body? This body is used to control puppets, and its combat power is not very strong, and it doesn't have any special abilities......"
"At least it's not ugly." Naruto laughed, "This puppet body is the most beautiful of all the puppets you've ever made." ”
The body of the scorpion is a beautiful and cold boy, and Naruto's evaluation is appropriate.
"In addition to its good appearance, this puppet also has original technologies, such as the technology of sealing the soul core, and the core control technology of the puppet by dividing into a hundred chakra lines, all of which are your originals."
The scorpion unconsciously raised his hands and stroked the face of the ontological puppet, but he didn't expect that the work that Naruto gave the highest evaluation was actually the ontological puppet that he created by transforming himself in order to gain immortality.
Naruto suddenly asked, "Do you know why your ontological puppet is your best work?" ”
The scorpion shook his head.
"Because you are not alone in creating this ontological puppet, your appearance and your soul come from your deceased parents."
Naruto said meaningfully, "They knew each other, loved each other, and came together to give birth to you, and this world has traces of you, and you created this ontological puppet in order to protect the life given by your parents."
Only this ontological puppet embodies your gratitude to your parents and your love for the life they have given you, and it is a work of true emotion, which of course has more artistic value than those plagiarized works. ”
The scorpion was stunned, he didn't think so much when he created this ontological puppet, and now he recalls it carefully, and the original intention of pursuing eternal art didn't start with the death of his parents?
The death of his parents made the scorpion feel extremely lonely, and his heart was traumatized, and he gradually closed down, leaving an indelible shadow, and he was deeply afraid of death and the loss of life.
"In your lifetime, wouldn't you want to create a human puppet with a unique soul and self-awareness, just as your parents created your one-of-a-kind work of art?"
Naruto said earnestly, "That kind of puppet is called an 'AI intelligent robot', a puppet with a soul similar to that of a human, a puppet with life and temperature. Ordinary people may be able to create life by finding a woman, but for a puppeteer, using parts, steel, and wood to create life is the pinnacle of puppet technology, the highest honor for a puppeteer, and the best work to prove his talent. Creating life alone is the highest realm that can only be touched by the gods, and it is the eternal art that can be praised by the world forever. ”
The scorpion was silent, but in those lifeless eyes, there was a faint hint of a strange divine light.
