Chapter 206

The movie brought by the Five Great Hidden Villages has commenced. Konoha Hidden Village presents the era of nobility, depicting the tumultuous lives of nobles during the Sengoku period. At this time, Shinōbi Clans were hired to wage wars against each other, while the nobles indulged in a life of debauchery and oppression.

Amidst this backdrop, a young man named Guiyang emerges. Intelligent and righteous, he decides to stand up against the nobles who torment the local people. Enraged, the nobles retaliate by attacking Guiyang's family, killing his father, robbing his mother and sister, and maiming Guiyang himself. The heart-wrenching scene deeply affects the audience.

Guiyang's path takes a drastic turn when he is saved by a eccentric old man. Intrigued by Guiyang's potential, the old man takes him under his wing, teaching him incredible and earth-shattering techniques. Motivated by revenge, Guiyang becomes the old man's disciple, dedicating himself to study and training in order to one day avenge his family.

Time flies, and in three years, Guiyang reaches the peak of his strength, ready to embark on his journey of revenge. Along the way, he meets his soulmate and the father-in-law who offers his daughter's hand in marriage and the family's wealth. He also encounters Natou, his mischievous brother-in-law. Guiyang engages in battles, confronting the nobles with his newfound power, aided by his Shinōbi Clan comrades. After defeating the nobles and liberating the people, Guiyang becomes a savior, tasked with establishing order.

Finally, Guiyang leads a contented life with his wife, mother, and sister. The story comes to a close.

As Hitoshi observes the emotional responses of the audience, he can't help but think, "What's happening? This story is so clichéd, yet it's making everyone cry excessively." He directs his attention to his muscular comrades from Kumogakure, wondering why they, too, are moved by the film. However, Hitoshi decides not to ruin the atmosphere and silently endures it.

Orochimaru and Nawaki share Hitoshi's sentiment, remaining unaffected. Orochimaru, focused on science, and Nawaki, known for his idiocy, wisely choose to keep quiet. Tsunade, who has already exhausted a roll of toilet paper due to crying, follows suit, aware that speaking up might result in a beating.

Hitoshi decides to break the gloomy mood and suggests moving on to the next movie. This time, the second film is one that he himself has made. It showcases the evolutionary history of Sunagakure, from the founding by the First Kazekage to the grandeur of the village.

The movie depicts the challenging process of building Sunagakure from scratch in the vast desert, searching for rock formations and water sources to secure funds. It also highlights the development of Puppet Master Jutsu to conserve natural resources and enhance the village's fighting capabilities. During the era of the Second Kazekage, Shamon, extensive research is conducted to harness the power of Shukaku's Magnet Release, resulting in the first large-scale Secret Jutsu in Sunagakure. Throughout times of war, the village lives frugally to ensure growth and victory.

Next, Hitoshi's era arrives, when Sunagakure has already established a solid foundation and continues to strive for progress. These achievements are accompanied by a significant event: Pakura singing the theme song "Blue Bird," which greatly enhances the emotional impact of the narrative.

Witnessing the combined effect of the compelling plot and the beautiful song, Uchiha Mina is captivated and expresses her surprise at the unexpected outcome. Jiraiya, on the other hand, brushes off the significance, stating that a good song doesn't necessarily equate to a good movie.

Orochimaru and Tsunade respond silently, labeling Jiraiya as an idiot. They had thought they had grown accustomed to Jiraiya's idiocy but now realize that they had overestimated their tolerance. They haven't paid much attention to the movies of the other Four Kage, as this film focuses on political themes.

To prevent any disturbances and maintain the hard-earned peace, it is decided that each Hidden Village will promote the movies of the other villages within their own territories. This exchange of cultural content aims to foster understanding and harmony.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, leaving the viewing hall with a stern expression, instructs Uchiha Mina to create a movie documenting the construction of Konoha. He emphasizes the importance of historical accuracy and vows to provide Koharu with all the necessary information.

Sarutobi Hiruzen realizes the entertainment value and profound message of movies centered around the main theme. The drama they portray, combined with the idea of loving one's village, resonates deeply. In Hidden Villages, Forbidden Jutsu may hold significance, but the true foundation lies in cultivating a love for one's village.

For Konoha to withstand any challenges, it relies not solely on Forbidden Jutsu but on the Will of Fire—the ability to instill loyalty through generations. The pinnacle of this accomplishment is embodied by Uchiha Itachi, who sacrificed his own clan for the sake of the village. Sarutobi Hiruzen understands the importance of promoting the idea of loving one's village and cherishing its values.
