11 Chapter 11
"I will lift the curse. If any kind of peace exists, I will grab hold and never let it go! I refuse to quit!"
"Why are you telling me you're not going to change? You have no idea how much pain you might have to go through. Not changing… do you really think believing in yourself is going to cut it? Can you really say that? Can you really trust in yourself so thoroughly?"
"If you change the main character it becomes another story entirely. The book my master left behind would become another book. It wouldn't be Naruto! I don't have my master's knack for writing… That's why…I'll keep walking it. No matter how much pain I go through along the way because that's what Naruto is about.
This cycle of hatred, I will break it and find an end to it within my time on this world."
--------
Naruto remembered his words to Nagato just few days ago and understood that most people wouldn't understand his way. He was already prepared to walk this path alone but fortunately it seems there were others of his type.
But even though there were so many of them, the world was still so far away from harmony and understanding.
Filled with violence and selfishness, this world was truly a nightmare for someone that could feel emotions.
If he had been any weaker mentally Naruto would have started doubting his path by seeing these failures but the only thing on his mind was to learn from them and create his own way.
The difference between them and him was that he was not just a Hero but a future leader of a nation and a military force.
He had learned many things about people when working with Jiraiya but it was still not enough as he lacked clear vision of the horrors that people inflicted on each other.
He wanted to know why it happens and what the victim experience.
To truly understand someone you need to know what they have gone through and Naruto was willing to endure the pain to understand all these things so that he could find a solution that covers all these problems.
Naruto was aware how dangerous not going for the kill was during battles since he lost to Sasuke because he avoided all killing strikes and his foe targeted him with the intention of death.
He understand that it was just luck that death hadn't taken him that day but it was not going to change his way since being the guide has never been easy job.
How many generations have failed before him?
Nobody knows but they all went through these difficulties and succumbed to the desire to kill in the end.
No matter what happened Naruto had decided that he will affect the people personally like a priest of the cycle of hatred and make them understand the underlying problem that was making their society sick.
The society in all most all countries were sick in the heart and mind, and needed someone to show them that being good was actually the right choice.
Many places and many people have succumbed to the idea that being bad makes you successful and it is the right thing since they don't care about others. The affects of their actions to other people don't matter to them.
Looking base of the team, Naruto saw great luxury and comfort that was beyond anything he had experienced.
'I will leave after a month.' Naruto decided that he needed to live within society and never go too far or he might become indifferent
He didn't want his training to cause him difficulties in understanding people nor did he want the chance to understand people lost while he stayed in this base.
'You can be like Father and move on foot everywhere while spreading your words.'
'The Sage also experienced this, how did it go?'
'He understand many things about humanity and helped people around the world but in the end he was unable to guide them to a peaceful era. Chakra was spread so that people could connect with each other. It's the main purpose of chakra. By allowing each other this honor both people can truly connect by letting their chakra interact.'
'Like us.'
'Yes, and the second purpose had been to fight against illusions as chakra allowed the humans to fight against anyone that tried to put them in an illusion.'
'Why? And you can still catch people in a genjutsu.'
'That has to do with my grandmother, she put the world in an illusion where they lived in eternal joy so father gave chakra in the hope that people would connect with each other and fight off against the illusion if it ever came back.'
'Sadly that is impossible at the moment.' Naruto said mentally as he cooked some fish in the forest after the morning workout following the breathing exercise from Asura called The Path of Asura and combat moves while wearing weight seals
Naruto had only learned some basic levels so he could only make up to ten tonnes maximum. He wasn't a master so he could only copy what he had learned, nothing more.
Last night, Kushina added her spin on his training regime by guiding a clone to draw seals on his skin that only showed up when he was shining golden and not on his normal skin.
These seals disturbed anyone trying to steal his chakra, helped create barriers with a thought, store chakra for future use, store items and contract seal.
Naruto had already tried using summoning before but it didn't work anymore as he had no contract with any beast in this Universe so he planned to make a contract with a powerful monster that could stand by his side when needed.
Gamabunta and toads had become useless by this point so he didn't want a partner with such weak power but a partner that was even stronger than him might be preferable.
As he picked up the fish to eat, Naruto was feeling happy at the moment and fulfilled. His mother was back and he was progressing while learning new things.
The only complaint might be that he had no way to go back home to have all wars seize.
Kushina wasn't sitting with him as she had gone with Kara to Veritas for a human body as she didn't want anyone messing around with Naruto's DNA.

"Hey Golden Lantern, how is it going?"
Naruto looked up to see Beast Boy in the shape of a eagle flying landing on the tree near him.
He hadn't sensed him since he wasn't looking nor did Beast Boy trying to attack him. It was a useful technique but it wasn't something that was active all the time and needed manual operation.
Plus having constant data in your head would only make life difficult and distract from most things.
"Hungry at the moment but otherwise I am doing fine. How about you? Did you get over your loss against Impulse?" Naruto asked as he bit the fish
"I officially hate speedsters now." BB muttered as he landed on the ground and sat opposite him on the ground as he took the other fish
"So why are you sitting here instead of eating breakfast inside?"
"I don't like the feeling of being spoon fed as I have always earned my keep so I want to keep it that way. I don't like the feeling of luxury when I am inside since I come from a simple background and I want to keep it that way as it will only get difficult to connect with people if you live in such a way."
"Hmm, this fish is good. Your loss bro. You got to enjoy what life throws at you or you will only remember the difficulties in truly difficult times."
"I never said that I won't enjoy things but I will enjoy them through my efforts."
"I can get behind that but you are pointlessly making things difficult for yourself."
"Does someone who has relied on someone else for food, clothing and shelter understand how someone who has struggled for these things feel?"
"No"
"There you go"
"I never really thought of such things so what are you actually planning to do as your words indicate something more than being a part time hero."
"I will integrate into the normal world and trying to help people from one community to another so they would work with each other and understand each other."
"Wow, are you serious dude?"
"I am very serious about this."
"That's gonna take you a life time."
"I will make sure it doesn't take that long."
"Well, if you need help then I won't mind handing a hand."
"Thanks so how can I help you?"
BB was silent for a moment as the smile went away from his face and he looked down, "I heard from the girls about your words on Raven and it kind of made me feel like an asshole.
I thought about it and I agree with your words. I ignored the consequences of my actions on Raven while knowing what kind of difficulties she was going through. She fought against her evil nature for my sake as she truly loved me and I accepted her everything but somewhere along the way my heart gave away to someone else as being with Raven was a dangerous game filled with horrors.
Regardless of the difficulties, my actions had been spontaneous and I didn't give Raven the chance to adjust as I brought the new girl along.
What I am saying is that, thanks for speaking up about it as she really is a delicate girl who needs help. The others don't know but I know that she really liked our presence and doesn't like being alone. It's her way of escaping as her powers can hurt others.
I learned that you can sense people?"
"Yes"
"Here, this is something Raven gave to me as a gift. It has her magic. I am thinking of finding her myself without the league as it will only get complicated with them." BB gave Naruto a dark glove
Naruto looked at the glove and felt the energy inside as he used his senses to find a match to the energy inside.
"She is nowhere close to this area so we might have to check the whole planet for her location. I don't mind coming along for the search." Naruto felt his remorse and guilt for this situation while also saw the danger of leaving such an uncertainty
"THANK YOU BRO, I owe you one." BB shook his hand violently and expressed his gratitude as he really didn't know how to interact with the league especially since most of them had expressed the desire to banish Raven after her berserk state had beaten them all
"No problem so let's go since I have time." Naruto finished up his breakfast instantly and stood up while clearing away the camp site
"I am ready so how are we doing this?"
"We just fly around as I check every place. My range can cover a large city easily so I will check from limit to limit."
BB nodded as he felt really thankful to Naruto for helping him out just like that when they just got to know each other yesterday. He had even expected rejection and arguments to find Raven but all of it was needed.
Most people wouldn't want to go search for such a dangerous girl but Naruto hadn't shown sign of disgust or fear.
