Chapter 210: I Have a Dream
Faced with what seemed rather bad, Markey couldn't help but find Conan and offer an opinion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"I suggest that we go separately, one in the south and the other in the north at the same time, so that it won't affect the progress too much."
Conan decisively rejected the proposal without thinking about it: "No, if that's the case, then what's the point of our operation." β
Originally, the main purpose of this plan was to ease relations between the two countries, and if they were really separated, it would be equivalent to half of Conan's plan failure, which Conan could not bear.
Markey frowned: "But... The current situation is more serious, and maybe one day this kind of emotional outburst will cause even more chaos. β
Conan understands that Markey is telling the truth, and on the surface, people's emotions are suppressed now, but as long as the hatred remains, this kind of thing may erupt again at any time.
After all, there are countless revenge for killing fathers, sons, and brothers, which can be suppressed so simply.
Just think about Sasuke, there are definitely not a few people like Sasuke who just survive for hatred, and if you really want revenge, no matter how strict you are, it won't work.
Therefore, it is necessary to mediate, at least to ease the emotions of most people on both sides, so that even if there is a real fight, as long as the majority of people can restrain it, there will be no problem.
Looking up at the two people still hanging from the flagpole, Conan ordered, "Inform all the people to assemble here, I have something to say." β
Soon, Konoha and the people of Shanin gathered in front of the platform that Conan had just erected under the flagpole.
Obviously, there is a clear line between the two sides.
This boundary is like a bottomless chasm separating the two sides, and from time to time someone gritted their teeth and looked in the other direction.
"I used to be, just like you..."
As Conan's speech began, everyone stopped looking at each other and looked at Conan in unison.
"I am an orphan who lost my parents at birth... I used to hate the world as much as you do, and I saw so many deaths growing up, from my aunts and uncles who loved me, to the partners who graduated with me, the feeling of losing someone important... It's unforgettable. Every time I think about it, I can't help but want to cry. β
Listening to Conan's words, the ninjas under were reminded of their memories and showed sad looks.
"I also hated those who took away my important people, likeβ" Conan's voice grew deeper and deeper as he said this, "You are the same now..."
"It's just that as I grew up, I began to shift my attention to another question, which is why so many people are dying, why we always have to lose the most important people, and why there are constant wars."
"More than sixty years ago, the first generation of filmmakers signed a treaty with the hope of peace... They renounced the hatred that had lasted for thousands of years and chose peace with the hope of a better future. β
"We had a time of peace and good times, but in the end, I have to say that they failed... The war did not end. β
"The Second Ninja War, the Third Ninja War, and even the Fourth Ninja War that almost caused not long ago. Along the way, how many people died in vain? How many families have been shattered? And how many people have lost their most important people? β
"I can't count this number, I just know that a lot... Many, much more. β
Hearing this, the people below couldn't help but feel even more sad, as if they remembered the pain they had suffered again.
"I've always had a question, that's why is there another war? Our ancestors have chosen to let go of hatred, is it really because we want war? Is it really that we want to suffer like this? I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I haven't been able to answer it. β
Conan's question also aroused the questions of the people below, and they couldn't help but be a little confused, and they were also wondering why there was a war.
"Later I figured out that it was all because reality forced us to kill each other."
Conan swept the eyes of everyone in the Sand Ninja Village one by one: "For example, your Wind Country, because of the shortage of food, in order to prevent a large number of people in your country from starving to death, you have to provoke wars again and again. I think that you are well aware of the difficult living environment of the Land of Winds, and this is the real reason why the war cannot be contained. β
"So... We have been hating other ninja village people for taking away our important people, and the idea that they caused the tragedy is wrong, and it is not us who is wrong, but the world! β
"Why we are gathered here today, I think you all understand, maybe you are very dissatisfied with the ninjas digging and farming, but I have to say that we are doing something that can correct the mistakes of this world at the root."
"As long as this river can be successfully built, the pressure on the survival of the Wind Country will be relieved by half, and as long as we continue to follow this path after that, when the Wind Country has no survival pressure, there will naturally be no reason for war."
At this point, Conan's tone became impassioned.
"Gentlemen, I look forward to peace."
"I don't know if you think the same way, but I really don't want war to happen again."
"I have a dream, I dream that one day the world will be peaceful, everyone will no longer have to bear the pain of loss, all children can grow up happily in the company of their parents, and all parents will no longer have to suddenly hear the bad news of their children's death."
"I have a dream, I dream that one day the desert will become an oasis, the hills will become fields, and where we have been at war, we children of Konoha can stand side by side with the children of your Sand Ninja Village and become friends."
"I have a dream, I dream that one day the value of ninjas will no longer be defined as killing, their abilities will be used in construction, saving people, producing, etc., etc., the only thing that will not be used to stain blood anymore. The strength of ninjutsu and the level of strength will no longer be the only existence to evaluate people's value, and people will be able to live in a world where their merits are evaluated by their character rather than their strength. β
"For the sake of this dream, I have long chosen to let go of hatred, and I hope you will be able to let go of hatred too, at least, today! Over here! I hope that you can put aside your hatred for each other, for the sake of our ninja village, for the sake of our descendants, together open the door to peace, and together put an end to this troubled world full of pain and hatred. β
"Please, let's make the same choice as our ancestors here! If they can put aside their hatred and end the war, why can't we? β
"I know that because I have killed many of you in the Sand Ninja Village before, and many of you are hating me, when things are settled, this human head of mine is here, let you take it, me! Word! β
Of course, it's up to me to decide when I'll settle down, Conan thought silently.
After a moment of silence, the people below shouted excitedly.
"Oh-" "Oh-"
People don't know what to say, they can only express their feelings at the moment by constantly shouting, and any language is pale here.
Soon, Conan's pre-arranged people walked out of the team and hugged the people of Sand Ninja Village, while the others were also infected when they saw this, and they shook hands and hugged each other to express friendship.
"I'm not going to do it here today, but I'll take your head off myself if I have the chance in the future!"
"Hehe, accompany me at any time, if I really fight again, I won't show mercy."
Although people who hate each other are still hostile to each other, they have temporarily put aside their hatred and chose to cooperate.
Seeing that his mouth escaped well, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, it was really troublesome, there were so many forks in the real implementation of the plan, but fortunately, it was successfully solved.
At the same time, a strange bird with a circle of ripples in its eyes flew up from a large tree not far away.
Far away in the base of Xiao in the Land of Rain, Xiao Nan immediately discovered Nagato's abnormality.
"Nagato, what's wrong with you?"
Nagato was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "It's nothing..." )
