Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Later,

By sheer chance, I met the three legendary ninjas from back then.

Back then, I was just an ordinary little kid, only good at bullying other kids my age at the ninja academy.

They were already shining Hokage disciples and young geniuses.

Out of a little bit of scheming,

I secretly observed the three of them.

It was discovered that Tsunade-hime was all looks and no ambition—no, she was lacking in ambition altogether.

Snake's ideals are too lofty; without a vast amount of knowledge as a foundation, it's difficult to discuss such topics.

He came alone, troubled by the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

So I set my sights on this hero, and also claimed to be a peace lover.

time has passed,

I became a disciple of the Three Ninjas.

Shining in the ninja world,

Ascend to the position of Hokage

He accomplished countless glorious deeds that others would consider enough to make him famous for all time.

However, I still have a dream today.

That's also the title of my speech today: I Have a Dream.

Fifty years ago, a great ninja, with a great belief, founded a great village.

This great innovation began to shine like a lighthouse in the dark night.

It brought hope to millions of people who had suffered in the flames of injustice that ravaged their lives for thousands of years.

Its arrival,

Like the breaking of dawn, it is the first ray of light piercing through the darkness.

It brought to an end the long night that had bound love and peace and suppressed the true, good, and beautiful aspects of humanity.

However, fifty years later,

We must face it squarely, and we must admit it.

Peace has not yet been achieved, love has not been fully implemented, and hunger, cold, disease, and separation continue to plague the tragic reality of the people on this land.

Fifty years later,

Within the chains and shackles of mutual wariness and hostility within the ninja villages, the ninjas continued to kill each other.

And from small-scale battles based on family units,

It evolved into a protracted and bloody large-scale war based on the ninja village as a war machine.

Fifty years later,

The shadow of war still hangs like a terrifying blade over our necks, threatening the lives of every one of us at any moment.

It threatens the peaceful and prosperous world we want to create, and it threatens the love and bonds we cherish in our hearts.

It threatens all that is beautiful and desirable in this world.

Fifty years later,

The elderly are still unable to enjoy the company of their grandchildren and the simple pleasures of family life.

Children are still unable to freely enjoy their childhood under the shade of trees and in the mountains.

Young, middle-aged, and middle-aged adults still haven't become a useful workforce for the people, the country, or the world.

They did not change the world with their own hands, thus contributing to social development and the progress of civilization.

They were all honing their skills at killing, or going to the battlefield to wield their swords against their own kind.

Fifty years later,

What grows on the land is no longer food, flowers, much-needed crops, or precious medicinal herbs, but rather the flames of war and the ambition to kill.

We are gathered here at this moment.

At this moment, I am here.

The point is to expose this horrifying situation to the public.

I want to tell everyone about my dream, I want to declare a new war to this damned world.

The war of war.

The First Hokage's initiative for peace failed; the era of ninja villages he founded saw three Shinobi World Wars erupt in just fifty years.

This resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of ninjas on the battlefield, and the displacement of millions of people.

But this does not mean that efforts toward peace are also failures or futile.

I firmly believe that as long as there is one person who cherishes a dream of peace, there is still hope for this world.

Because they will eventually find a way to break the chains of conflict, erase all hatred, and create a true golden age.

Some people say I am the chosen one of prophecy.

I don't know if this is true, and I don't even believe in fate, which sounds like such a ridiculous thing.

However, I will strive to move in that direction and do everything I have said I would do.

Because fate is indeed unreliable.

But the ideals of peace and the dreams embodied in love will always remain an indelible and brilliant light in the darkness.

It is a beacon guiding humanity forward, guiding the evolution of civilization, and guiding the transformation of the world.

Brothers and sisters, relatives and friends,

Children, adults, and the elderly,

The fierce and valiant warriors fighting bravely on the battlefield, and the gentle and virtuous wives anxiously awaiting the return of their husbands and families at home.

Whether you agree with or disagree with me, yearn for or not yearn for me, hate or not hate all the people who are with me.

At this moment, I want to say to you,

Now and in the foreseeable future, we will suffer from all sorts of unimaginable difficulties and setbacks.

But I still have a dream,

I firmly believe that this dream is also deeply rooted in the deepest part of everyone's heart.

I dream that one day,

The world will stand up and truly understand, realize, and implement the true meaning of peace.

I dream that one day,

On a field once ravaged by war, people from two rival ninja villages can now sit together and share their brotherhood.

Together they will sow seeds of sincerity, grow seedlings of hope, and reap the fruits of unity.

I dream that one day,

In the village of ninjas, a war machine where justice has vanished and slaughter is rampant, it will also become an oasis of freedom, justice, and hope.

Earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in traditional Chinese geomancy) is not a prison to trap enemies, but rather a dam to irrigate fields.

Water Release is not a heavy hammer that destroys defenses, but rather sweet dew that irrigates parched seedlings in the desert.

The ultimate technique of Wood Release is not the Thousand-Armed Buddha or the Wood Dragon Woodman, but the vibrant spring colors that cover the mountains and fields.

I dream that one day,

My children will live in a world where people are not divided by birth, and where merit is not judged by the number or efficiency of the number of people killed.

Instead, they live in a world where friendships are based on shared interests and compatible personalities, and social status is determined by contributions to society and the nobility of character.

I dream that one day, valleys will rise up, mountains will descend, and rugged paths will become smooth, and holy light will be revealed and shine upon the world.

This is my dream.

It was with this strong belief that I raised the sword in my hand.

Today, I also want to pass this belief on to you.

With this belief, we will be able to carve a stone of hope out of the rock of despair.

With this belief, we will be able to transform the cacophony of this nation's quarrels into a beautiful melody brimming with brotherly love.

With this belief, we will be able to work together, pray together, fight together, battle together on the battlefield, and overcome seemingly impossible difficulties.

Because we know that one day, we will succeed.

From this moment forward, you are no longer my subordinates, but my comrades.

Those who share the same lofty aspirations and are willing to make any arduous and painstaking efforts and pay any heavy price for them...

"Great comrades who supported each other, gave each other hope and strength on the road to realizing their dreams."

P.S.: Special thanks to Martin Luther King Jr.!

Chapter 172 I hereby declare that the ninja world has officially entered an era of peace from this moment forward.

Uehara Shinmei has excellent oratory skills.

The rhythm was very accurate, and the voice was melodious and varied.

The gentler parts unfold like a spring rain, nourishing things silently.

At its most exhilarating moments, it's like thunder igniting, piercing the darkness of the sky.

The two elements intertwine, creating a breathtaking symphony.

It sounds incredibly infectious and impactful.

Even more amazing is that in Uehara Siming's previous life,
