Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or the song 'Heroes and Villains' by Powerman 5000

Warning: Slighty spoilerish if you're not upto date with the manga

I would have like to have finished with another SasuNaru, but I also feel like this one is a good one to end with, faces some of the issues with Naruto at the moment, and life questions in general...yes.

Heroes and Villains

"Why do you do this?"

"For peace!"

Was he the villain here? He thought he was the hero; the ninja of Konoha were the heroes! But the unsettling thought that they were all villains spread through him. They were all fighting for their own sense of justice.

Pein was wrong, war doesn't achieve peace, it only begets more pain and suffering, some twisted way to achieve peace. Forcing others to do as you do, or destroying them, liberating them? What's so liberating about slavery.

Still Naruto fought and thought on, confused, he didn't have the answers. Was he a villain himself, he that fought, he had murdered. He did all this to be the saviour, to be a hero for his village. But he supposed that to those he fought against he was the villain, he was in the wrong.

Everything was misunderstood.

Jiraiya was right, until everyone gave up their vendetta there would never be peace.

Maybe the only way to peace to was to give up the ninja society, but he wanted to be the greatest ninja, a ninja's life is filled with suffering and sacrifice, they should accept that is their way of life. So why take up personal vendettas? Why should one life be more important than all the others you may have taken.

What was the point in vengeance?

To find real peace, was forgiveness the answer?

He didn't know anymore, but he was going to get some answers.

He would succeed. Like Jiraiya wanted.
