Chapter 120 - Chapter 120 I Have a Friend

Shindai was currently conflicted. In fact, Shindai had been conflicted before, but because he hadn't found a clear answer, he had deliberately forgotten about it.

However, time was running out, and these events would soon occur, so Shindai could no longer deliberately forget.

In reality, due to Shindai, certain changes had already occurred.

For example, Obito's Sharingan.

Originally, Obito's Sharingan should have awakened during the Kannabi Bridge Battle, but now it had awakened early because of him.

And because Obito had awakened his Sharingan, his strength was now rapidly increasing; he was no longer the dull-witted Obito.

This could very likely lead to changes in the Kannabi Bridge Battle later on.

Perhaps Uchiha Madara, the "Dancing King," had already set his sights on Obito and was already thinking about how to lead Obito into darkness.

Speaking of which, why would Uchiha Madara target Obito?

Obito was clearly a Genin before, so how could Uchiha Madara have taken an interest in him?

It couldn't be that Uchiha Madara had foresight and already knew that Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan would awaken a BUG-level ability like Kamui, could it?

As for that mama's boy Black Zetsu, he probably wouldn't have thought much of Obito at first either, as Obito didn't have Indra's or Ashura's Chakra.

Shindai racked his brain, then suddenly a flash of insight struck him, and he suddenly understood why Obito had caught Uchiha Madara's eye.

Uchiha Madara chose Obito not because he valued Obito's abilities, but because he valued Obito's personality.

The current Obito was full of goodwill towards others, and he would go all out to help the weak.

The Uchiha Clan believed strongly in love, but they were also extreme. When they lost that love, the love in their hearts would be replaced by an even stronger hatred. Once their hearts were covered by hatred and their eyes were blinded, they would go to another extreme, becoming easier to control.

Moreover, the Sharingan, as the eye that reflects the heart, can be awakened and continuously evolve through intense emotional stimulation, eventually evolving into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

This meant that no matter how poor Obito's talent or strength was, as long as his heart was filled with extreme hatred, he would be able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and his strength would achieve a qualitative leap.

Therefore, Uchiha Madara was completely indifferent to Obito's strength. It was only because the very loving Obito was more likely to become extreme and easier to control that he became Uchiha Madara's target.

Shindai was a bit troubled. What good was it even if he knew all this?

Although Obito had now awakened his Sharingan and become stronger, undergoing significant changes, Obito's personality hadn't changed, so he would still be targeted.

Should he stand by and do nothing?

But as a good friend, knowing the calamity that would befall them later and doing nothing, what kind of friend was that? Was he even human?

Shindai vigorously scratched his head: "I should have just hidden in some corner and never come out! That way, I wouldn't be so conflicted!"

Uzumaki Kushina looked blankly at the frantic Shindai, not understanding what had suddenly gotten into him.

She had only just told Shindai about the situation in the Ninja World, right? Was there a need for such a huge reaction?

"Hey, Shindai, what are you doing?"

Shindai sighed and asked, very troubled: "Sister Kushina, can I ask you a question?"

Uzumaki Kushina asked curiously: "What kind of question?"

Shindai thought for a moment and said: "Uh... about emotions, I guess."

Uzumaki Kushina immediately sat up straight.

Emotional questions! She wondered which girl Shindai liked.

Could it be Rin Nohara?

After all, among the girls his age Shindai knew in Konoha, it seemed there was only Rin Nohara.

However, that kid Obito liked Rin Nohara. Could it be that the reason Shindai felt troubled was because Obito liked Rin Nohara, and Shindai also liked Rin Nohara, and because Obito was Shindai's good friend, Shindai didn't know what to do and wanted to consult her?

Uzumaki Kushina was extremely excited now, feeling like she was about to hear some major gossip.

Uzumaki Kushina cleared her throat and said seriously: "Ask away, I'll definitely help you analyze it well!"

Shindai pondered for a moment before saying: "I have a friend..."

Hearing Shindai's opening, Uzumaki Kushina almost laughed out loud.

It was confirmed, what followed would undoubtedly be as she had guessed.

"I have a friend, and he knows that his friends might encounter very bad things. My friend is very conflicted about whether to help them, because helping them might lead to even worse things. My friend actually just wants to live a peaceful life, doing things he's interested in, and doesn't want to get caught in a whirlpool. But if he doesn't help, he feels like he's not being human.

So... if it were you, Sister Kushina, what would you do?"

Uzumaki Kushina's eyes widened, and she looked at Shindai in disbelief: "Why would you ask that? Shouldn't you be asking..."

Uzumaki Kushina quickly covered her mouth, almost letting it slip.

Shindai asked in confusion: "What should I be asking?"

Uzumaki Kushina released her hand from her mouth and chuckled dryly: "Ah, no, nothing."

Shindai asked again: "Sister Kushina, if it were you, what would you do? If he helps, my friend might get caught in a whirlpool and be unable to extricate himself, possibly facing many, many troubles, and perhaps never be able to return to his peaceful life."

Uzumaki Kushina thought for a moment, then tilted her head and asked in confusion: "But, don't you already have the answer yourself?"

Shindai said strangely: "Huh? When did I have an answer? I'm asking you."

"You said you..."

Uzumaki Kushina was about to explain, but Shindai quickly denied: "No, no, no, it's not me, it's my friend's question! It's not my question!"

Uzumaki Kushina suddenly slammed the table: "Hypothetically! You are that friend! You know your friends will encounter bad things, and you have the ability to change it, but because you're afraid of worse things happening and disrupting your peaceful life, you don't want to help, but you also feel like not helping isn't human, right?"

Shindai nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Uzumaki Kushina smiled and said: "If you were worried about disrupting your peaceful life, you wouldn't have asked this question at all, because you've already prepared for your peaceful life to be broken, which is why you asked this question.

So, you're not actually conflicted about whether to help, but rather you lack a reason, a reason to convince yourself to break your peaceful life and help."

Shindai's face wrinkled up. To be honest, he was quite dissatisfied with Uzumaki Kushina's answer.
