Orochimaru looked at me deeply smiled and asked.
"In a way I agree with you, so tell do you think being a shinobi is an honorable lifestyle?"
His words settled.
Honorable? Well at first I thought yes of course.
But now that I think about about.
It is not an honorable job, it is task which require kids to go to war, it's slavery.
If the upper management of an village thinks sending an kid to war is honorable then fuck that honor.
I want live and not die for some stupid honor I don't even need.
Yes, if everyone or at least most people cared about honor like they did in One piece, then yes I may have thought of it.
But in the world of Naruto, honor is an liability which I don't need. I rather ruse underhand methods and live rather and fight to the death for 'honor' and then my dead body be used for experiments.
I remember what happened to Kakashi's father the white fang, he was so invested in that honor thing that he killed himself and let his navigate the world alone.
Kakashi's life was about get bad enough already.
Orochimaru looked at the silent me and asked.
"Is it that confusing to answers?"
Orochimaru at that time was blaming his teacher Hiruzen as to Orochimaru it looked like Akira was brainwashed by the will of fire.
"Not at all", I said what I thought.
"I don't care about honor it's an liability for someone like me, and if I had it then it would be my pride not honor."
I said again.
To me I think my pride is way more important than honor though not as important as my life.
"That's a great way to think, but you have one more weakness in the mindset department which is more of a liability then honor to me,... It your morality.", he spoke narrowing his eyes until hey were closed as he moved towards the desk and sat down.
Morality?
I began thinking, maybe he is right, I don't think I have enough physiology strength to kill kids... Weak.. And straight up pitiful people and maybe some animals too.
But has morality been a liability in the case of anyone... I mean yes, but in the original canon it just caused developed in Naruto.
To be honest in the latest fiction like in every media, every main character is an anti-hero, or a straight up villain.
I remember early people admired Super-man or Spiderman but, nowaday..... Well st least when I was alive back in my old world every main character was just a necessary evil or just an vigilante.
It is not really a problem but, it's still weird that people have forgotten the difference between Anti-hero and hero.
(Author: This also actually my inner voice speaking too, people have been admiring Anti-heroes too much, it is not a problem, it just I think it in a funny way, like think a kid growing up admiring wolverine or Ghost rider or Butcher or Red hood [They are cool characters though] instead of Like Superman or Spiderman.
But anyway these are my thoughts they don't affect the story much... Or do they[Vsauce meme])
Though I don't have a savior complex nor I do think I can create a better ending than the original Naruto, I think I messed up timeline thanks to the previous reincarnators and be left unchecked.
I want to grow stronger, without taking as less lives as possible. But I know have to kill people and do inhuman things.
If I didn't, I wouldn't have taken scientific talents.
Morality was instead a liability and I don't think it will go away, as it is something I have from my previous life.
Orochimaru stared at Akira who was thinking, in his mind Orochimaru was ready to break every last moral in Akira's mind.
He him seeing Akira who is talent, not hardworking and filled with morality, is wasting away his talent which is a hit to Orochimaru's pride in some way.
"Anyway we will put it too a test right soon." He stood up and walked to the door.
"Come with me let me show you a tiny bit of ugliness of war, politics and human greed.", he has a sinister smile on his face.
I simply followed him.
I mean I have read berserk and metamorphosis. Just how bad it is going to be.
(Author: spoiler pretty decently bad.)
