Chương 219: Chapter 219
"Why not trust Naruto?"
The question echoed in the air, hanging heavily over the somber assembly.
Carnes had voiced a sentiment that left Tsunade and the other Konoha ninjas present at a loss for words.
The room was filled with an unspoken tension, as if the very air had grown heavy with uncertainty.
Tsunade, renowned for her resilience, found herself unable to formulate a response.
The weight of the recent events, particularly Naruto's fight with the powerful Pain, had cast a shadow on their faith.
"Why doubt Naruto?"
Carnes continued, his words a poignant reminder of the fierce battles fought for the sake of the village.
"For the village and everyone, he faced a bloody battle against the Pain. Naruto has the power to deal with him?"
The truth lingered in the room, unspoken but undeniable.
But belief in Naruto seemed challenging when faced with the harsh reality—Pain had already pinned him to the ground.
Naruto, despite his valiant efforts, lay defeated by Pain.
If Hinata hadn't intervened herself, he might have met his demise. How could anyone readily put their faith in such a precarious situation?
They weren't even sure if Hinata was alive, it was a haunting reality that overshadowed any blind trust.
"It's all my fault... fault of my leadership."
Tsunade admitted, her shoulders burdened with the weight of responsibility.
"It was my incompetence that led to this result."
"I acknowledge my shortcomings that led to this outcome."
I'll take responsibility for it'."
The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by the resigned sighs of those present.
Tsunade continued. "No way, the other ninjas can only take all the responsibilities on themselves."
"All the bad situations are being caused due to the lack of my abilities to handle this situation."
The harsh truth echoed in her words, laying bare the unfortunate reality of their circumstances.
Misfortune abounded in the world, and only the capable could navigate risks with composure.
But in reality, how many could truly attain that level of strength?
The world, filled with its share of misfortunes, demanded more than just good intentions.
Yet, the burden fell on Tsunade, for the leader must shoulder all responsibilities.
Blaming the lack of ability of the others involved seemed like a logical but futile excuse.
A capable person, Carnes argued, could navigate through various risks with composure.
Yet, he also acknowledged the rarity of finding true strength in this unpredictable world.
Carnes attempted to offer her reassurance, his words a feeble attempt at comfort.
"You don't have to take everything on yourself; you've done everything you can."
Comforting words weren't Carnes' forte, yet this sentence managed to provide a sliver of solace.
His attempt to console her was heard amidst the heavy atmosphere.
Tsunade, while not entirely calm, felt a diminishing sense of agitation.
But still she couldn't help but feel a lingering sadness.
"What about Hinata... should we just watch her die?"
She questioned, her voice a mixture of resignation and concern.
"You know.... you can close your eyes and avoid seeing it." Carnes suggested.
"It does not matter.... Huh!! What the hell are you saying?"
At first, she hadn't completely absorbed what Carnes had said but now after hearing it, Tsunade responded, anger and fury were laced in her voice.
"You!"
Tsunade was momentarily taken aback.
Her retort cut through the room, leaving everyone speechlessness.
The air remained thick with uncertainty, the challenges ahead looming ominously.
Even the Konoha Village ninjas found themselves at a loss for words.
Was this the appropriate time for Carnes to inject humor into the situation, especially when a young girl's life hung in the balance, threatened by the Deva Path?
