Chapter 124 : Strange system prompts

In a world veiled in chaos, each individual believes they are on the righteous path.

Whether it was Senju Hashirama, envisioning a mutual understanding for the ninja world, only for a more potent conflict to erupt after his demise.

Or the misguided aspirations of Nagato, or Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito who wanted to create a perfect and peaceful world within the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Such a world is an illusion, akin to a film Kazuhiko witnessed in a past life. Most inhabitants reside within a vast matrix, entrapped in a fabricated reality.

Even if this illusion were to succeed, individuals would persist in attempting to shatter it, for the artificial is inherently false.

In the midst of this tumultuous ninja world, Kazuhiko understood that they were all misguided.

He sought genuine peace, as his past life experiences had already revealed to him.

Gazing at the moon before him, Kazuhiko pondered how to address the world's issues and resolve the conflicts between nations. It was surprisingly simple.

"Establish a Great Unified Nation!"

"Strive to eliminate all disparities as much as possible; this is the essence of true peace! 

"Those who believe that a system can be built solely on 'love' and 'understanding' are misguided.

"While they might experience a promising beginning when goodwill prevails, it is akin to Genjutsu in the end.

"With the departure of those in power, the political system rapidly decays, plunging into new wars shortly thereafter.

"It is inevitable, as differences exist between nations and disparities persist among villages."

"Strong naturally desires more, and the weak naturally harbors resentment."

"With time, a new war will inevitably erupt!"

"The only means to eradicate this era of inter-nation conflict and foster a united kingdom is to bring about genuine peace.

"Of course, the process of establishing this grand unified nation will be accompanied by bloodshed and loss."

"But these are unavoidable, as people always aspire for their nation to triumph. Even within a grand unified nation, the desire for leadership will inevitably lead to disputes. However, it will be worth it!"

"Granted, this form of unified nation is not without its flaws, but in comparison to the previous multi-nation disputes, these issues pertain to the nation's internal affairs."

"This can be rectified through continuous self-adjustment, requiring emerging talents within the nation to identify, raise, and resolve these problems!

"Crucially, once a truly unified nation is established, henceforth, even thousands of years later, the nation will not perish due to natural disasters or internal turmoil."

"In the future, people will aspire to build a new grand unified nation, extending beyond constructing their own small nation."

"Their populace and military will no longer be confined to a limited space. 

"In unspoken agreement, they will recognize that only a unified nation can bring genuine peace.

"The thoughts of countless individuals will transform, and they will all endeavor to re-establish a grand unified nation.

Beneath the moonlight, Kazuhiko bared his heart for the first time.

Tsunade lay on the floor, peacefully asleep, her exhaustion evident.

Kazuhiko sat alone, sipping his sake, his mind drifting to a quiet village he had come across on Konoha Road—a place with an eerily empty atmosphere.

The sight of a young arm protruding from the soil triggered thoughts of countless civilians buried in pits, and he couldn't help but voice his reflections, though he knew no one in the small courtyard would hear.

The sole presence besides him was Tsunade, now deeply asleep from the effects of alcohol and fatigue, occasionally letting out a contented "haha" as if relishing a delightful dream.

Kazuhiko, using alcohol to lift the final bottle on the table, stood up. Numerous empty bottles lay scattered beneath, evidence of their shared drinking session.

Despite having the ability to dissipate the alcohol with his current physical condition, he chose not to. He relished these moments, especially those spent with Tsunade in the courtyard—a rare respite for him. So, for the first time, he spoke his mind into the silent night.

Even if the moon shone brightly, no one would know.

With a sense of joy, Kazuhiko walked barefoot, cherry blossom petals scattered around him.

In the moonlight, he wore a white robe and pajamas, holding a bottle of sake in his left hand, occasionally taking a sip.

"Only a united nation can mend this chaotic world!"

"People live in ignorance amidst chaos, and even after countless years, a so-called son of prophecy will emerge, repeating the fate of Senju Hashirama!"

"Countless lives are wasted in those unknown battles, their existence forgotten!"

"Only a grand, unified nation is worth protecting at the cost of one's life!"

"And those so-called ninja villages are absurd! The world is ailing, and they can't cure it!"

"So, here I am! I am here to heal the world!"

Kazuhiko stood in the courtyard's center, mocking the current ninja world systems.

After completing his education and graduating from university, he had grown disdainful of the world's political system. In his view, if the system is flawed, all efforts are in vain.

At that moment, a strange system prompt echoed in his mind.
