Roy's Gift
"A diverse era, while signifying a flourishing of diverse ideas, also represents perpetual conflict."
"Disagreements can evolve into conflicts, which in turn can lead to further clashes, eventually resulting in war. This war is accompanied by slaughter and destruction. Only when everyone is no longer able to fight can a temporary peace be achieved. However, hatred has already quietly sown the seeds of a second war!"
"In my opinion, if Hashirama Senju hadn't been so weak back then, peace would have been achieved long ago. Perhaps the process wasn't gentle, but temporary bloodshed and sacrifice are much better than eternal conflict and chaos. Only a complete and unified world can completely eliminate war and make so-called peace no longer just empty talk."
"This world, this era, only needs one voice!"
Under Roy's subtle, dreamlike allure, the Konoha villagers, who already felt there was some truth in what Roy said, began to waver. In particular, Pain's attack and the devastation of Konoha today made them feel even more deeply.
"Eliminate the barriers and differences in our hearts?" Tsunade had to admit that Roy's words were very impactful, especially for those who had always believed that Konoha represented the conscience and justice of the world.
Even she herself vaguely felt that the era of the ninja village founded by her grandfather had too many flaws and imperfections. Otherwise, why would three Ninja World War break out in just a few decades, leaving her to watch helplessly as her relatives and friends died in the war?
Is it really worth it to exchange a war that engulfs the Shinobi World for temporary peace?
It's like an inescapable curse, endlessly repeating itself!
However, she maintained her composure and cautiously asked, "After all you've said, isn't it all just to realize your own ambitions and give your dictatorial rule a seemingly glorious facade?"
"If it were the very beginning, that was indeed my plan. In fact, a strong dictator is not necessarily a bad thing for a chaotic and complicated world, and I do have the experience and ability to create a more perfect era than we have now!"
"However, I have now changed my mind. I intend to transform the world in a more gentle way, so that everyone will actively seek true peace!"
"This transformation was also thanks to Orochimaru's genius-level ninjutsu development ability, which finally allowed me to find a way to spread my abilities."
"Actually, by now, you should have a general idea of my origins. That's right, I am the Dream Realm King was resurrected from ancient times. After my life came to an end, I entrusted my soul and will to the dream world. When someone knows of my existence, I will be resurrected from the dream world!" Roy used a statement that they could try to accept, while also trying to ease Black Zetsu's fear of him.
As expected, after hearing Roy's explanation, Kakashi and the others were shocked. Someone could actually cross the River of Time and Space to come to this era, and, judging from his words, he could also be resurrected from dreams. Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do that!
"Wait, you said Orochimaru helped you develop a ninjutsu that allows you to project your abilities, could it be..." Kakashi thought of something, but asked somewhat uncertainly.
"In addition to ninjutsu, Body Technique, genjutsu, and the even rarer sage techniques, we have created 'Dream Technique' that surpass all of these, yet are more widespread and easier to learn!"
"When everyone's dreams in this world are connected, everyone will let down their guard and show their truest selves in their dreams, without concealment or deception. All conflicts and contradictions can be resolved in this second world of dreams, dispelling the resentment in their hearts, leaving only peace and tranquility in the real world!"
"The power of dreams? You're actually willing to share that power with us?" Tsunade asked incredulously. In this era where all resources are hoarded, let alone a power like dreams that only exists in fantasy, even slightly powerful ninjutsu are monopolized. Even the village's ninjas need to make great contributions to be granted such a power.
"Don't be surprised, I am different from you. In my opinion, only communication and sharing can drive the times forward. A stagnant world can only perish in silence."
"I never expected you to be willing to make such a great sacrifice. I am not as good as you in this respect!" Tsunade said solemnly.
It's important to understand that the reason why the major ninja villages are unwilling to share ninjutsu is not only because they don't want to strengthen other ninja villages, but also because they are afraid of exposing their own weaknesses. In this ninja era where information is paramount, if you expose all your weaknesses to the enemy, you're not far from death!
"An era in which no one is willing to sacrifice is destined to be a tragic era. Let me, a wandering ghost from ancient times, be the pioneer of this world!" Roy declared righteously, but in his heart he thought, "You may make a small profit, but I will never lose out."
The crowd was ashamed, never expecting that their awareness was inferior to that of an "ancient person," or even a "predecessor" who did not belong to their era.
"My reason for sharing the power of dreams is not only to eliminate the differences and barriers between different races, but also to make this era a better place."
"As I said before, the root of war lies in division, but the superficial reasons are far more than that. Poverty, disease, and injury all induce the outbreak of war, simply because the world's resources are limited, and you use the power that could change the world for war, naturally making the available resources increasingly scarce, and the outbreak of war more and more frequent."
"The power of dreams can unleash the world's greater potential, acquire resources, heal wounds, forget pain, and realize all that is beautiful and peaceful in dreams!"
"Next, let me show you how dreams bring miracles to this world!"
Dream Technique: Rain Tiger at Will Technique!
Suddenly, colorful raindrops began to fall from the sky, like a shower of jewels from a fairy tale, making people instinctively reach out to catch them, worried that they might be tainted by the dust of reality.
"Ah! My body..."
"My right leg has grown back!"
"Me too, my severed limbs are healing!"
"Oh my god, look around..."
"The destroyed Konoha... has reappeared. Am I dreaming?"
"In a sense, we may indeed be dreaming, but that great man has turned our dreams into reality."
"A miracle! This must be a miracle!"
In an instant, the wailing and lamenting villagers of Konoha were completely restored, and even their destroyed homes were recreated, leaving many people in a daze. Could it be that everything they experienced today was just a dream?
