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

Even the Kage of the other major ninja villages, and even a considerable number of the village's high-ranking officials,

Based on all the strange occurrences, we can only roughly guess that there might be such a hidden force in Konoha or the Light and Shadow Alliance.

Its name, personnel, strength, and responsibilities are all unknown.

However, at this moment,

On the painting, and in the comparison video,

But it was revealed for the first time.

Whether it's the existence of the Night's Watch, the spirit of the Night's Watch, or the selection of the Night's Watch's swordsmen,

All of this shocked everyone.

Chapter 177 Project Lighthouse: A Method to Sever the Chains of Hatred

Most people were simply shocked that Konoha actually had such a special force as the Night Watch.

Or, we can express our admiration for their perseverance.

Only a few people,

However, they keenly realized the irrationality of the existence of this special force.

Uehara Shimei is the undisputed strongest ninja in the world.

Whether it's immortal techniques, light escape, the Eight Gates, sealing techniques, or ordinary escape techniques, he has achieved almost unparalleled levels of skill.

Such a being does not require any special power to protect it.

If even he is not safe, then the entire ninja world is not far from being finished.

The only explanation,

That's exactly what we need: the Night's Watch, a force completely hidden in the darkness.

To carry out tasks that the Fourth Hokage couldn't openly do, or even that the Anbu, who were already doing dirty work and clandestine missions, couldn't do openly.

This, however, raises another problem.

From the very beginning of the comparison video,

Uehara Siming has always been portrayed as a heroic figure who strives for peace and is extremely upright.

His persona is based on authenticity.

The way of the ninja is to be true to one's word and to do what one says.

He considered the F4 to be sinners against Konoha, and in broad daylight, he beheaded Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He believed the Uchiha clan needed to be eradicated, so he openly stormed into their territory in full view of everyone.

Even if he harbors feelings for a beautiful female ninja that are too shameful for ordinary people to express, he never hides his thoughts.

However, the appearance of the Night's Watch now seems to have shattered this conventional impression.

Even the God of Peace has begun to harbor conspiracies that cannot be told to outsiders.

Given his reputation and power, who would oppose him unless it's something too outrageous or crazy?

but,

Just as everyone was shocked, confused, or moved,

New changes have emerged in the video.

The sun is rising,

A medium-sized conference room,

The high-ranking officials of Konoha, the high-ranking officials of the Light and Shadow Society, and the high-ranking officials of Konoha's Special Council Office in the Land of Fire.

Even relatively close outsiders like the Wind Shadow and the Water Shadow,

All those present sat upright in their respective seats.

He was holding a freshly written document, still smelling of ink, and reading it.

The camera angle is focused on Jiraiya.

Above the document cover are four large characters that strongly reflect the characteristics of the Shangyuan region: "Lighthouse Project".

Because of someone's various achievements and deeds,

In addition, his calligraphy is truly outstanding and unique.

His handwriting has now become one of the most popular art forms, imitated by many people, and even printers can print his font directly.

Jiraiya gently opened the file.

Although he had participated in the drafting and proofreading beforehand, he still read it carefully from beginning to end.

Accompanied by Jiraiya's vision and the inner thoughts that arise as he reads,

Everyone has seen and heard the preface of this document.

"To achieve peace, we must eliminate as many factors as possible that could trigger war."

Provide the poor with a means of livelihood, and give the struggling an opportunity for upward mobility.

To combat crime, eliminate violence, eradicate injustice, and promote the true meaning of love and peace.

However, this is far from enough.

The millennia-long war has ravaged many people, especially the most famous and powerful ninjas.

They've all gotten used to solving problems with force.

As a result, selfishness, bullying, and taking advantage of the weak became rampant.

Distortion becomes commonplace, and even robbery becomes truth.

The ensuing killings and scheming sowed the seeds of hatred and suffering in every corner of the earth.

This has instilled in the world a sense of vigilance, caution, and distrust regarding whether organizations seeking peace have ulterior motives.

Before true peace arrives, before people fully experience the beauty of peace and wholeheartedly embrace it,

These are also urgent issues that we must face and resolve.

The goal of Project Lighthouse

The aim is to transform Konoha into a model city that surpasses the entire ninja world in all aspects, including politics, economy, culture, and technology.

This city will be free, democratic, civilized, fair, law-abiding, harmonious, inclusive, and open.

As the glistening fruit of the flower of peace, it is a tangible manifestation of the supreme beauty of peace.

Its peace, its prosperity, its strength, its civilization, everything about it.

They will all stand like lighthouses guiding fishermen through the vast darkness.

It attracts all the truth, goodness, and beauty in everyone's heart, and it attracts the conscience of all those who have not yet completely fallen into darkness.

It was like a strong and well-built ninja dog appearing before the Inuzuka family.

A beautifully grilled meat dish, bursting with color, aroma, and flavor, appeared before the Akimichi family.

It was so irresistible.

However, to possess these, one must first join peace, embrace peace, and strive towards peace.

This will make them realize the error of killing and understand the true meaning of love and peace.

Thus, the thought of love prevails over the impulse of hatred.

This allows the desire for peace among the majority of peace-loving people to outweigh the unrealistic ambitions of a few ambitious individuals.

Only in this way can the chains of hatred be broken and the cycle of suffering ended.

Thus, even if unforeseen events occur in the future, and chaos temporarily triumphs over order,

The spirit of peace that permeates every corner of the ninja world, and the longing that comes from having experienced the beauty of peace.

It will guide countless warriors to rebuild order, one after another.

Hatred and pain are a force, but so are love and happiness.

Only one thought remained in my mind.
