Namikaze Minato's Speech

After reading the biography of Uchiha Kō, the foremost of Jiraiya's heroic biographies, the God of Shinobi was greatly shocked. Owl had conquered the entire Ninja World without ever receiving a single day of guidance from a master.

He employed a gentle and united system internally, and a ruthless and aggressive system externally. He launched a heavy-handed attack on foreign powers and governed the village according to law, which resulted in the prosperity of the people and the protection of the ninjas.

I really don't know what Uchiha Kō was thinking. He gave so much compensation to the wounded soldiers and gave their children priority in being hired for civilian positions.

Because every war was won by the Konoha Ninja with all their might and through exhaustion; it is everyone's glory!

Uchiha Kō always remembered everyone's contributions and was generous in rewarding everyone, but he forgot about himself. In every battle, he was always the first to charge into the fray.

It was precisely because of his actions that Konoha's loyalty was won over. The Konoha acted without restraint, fighting with all their might for themselves and for future generations. This generation finished the war, so that those who came after would not have to fight.

Originally, everyone thought that unifying the Ninja World would be a victory, but after Uchiha Kō proposed the war against the heavens, and learned of Uchiha Kō's purpose and vision, that group of people, a new group of people, resolutely went to war.

It's no exaggeration to say that no one can be sure of the outcome of this battle. If we lose, the world will disappear; if we win, everyone's fate will be in their own hands.

There will be no more predetermined deaths, no more playing the role of a puppet; the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always perish.

The ninja genius's heart surged. How could such a person be the source of world destruction? That extraterrestrial demon—the so-called judging by actions, not intentions—everything Uchiha Kō did was for Konoha, for the Ninja World, for peace.

Therefore, the ninja genius had an idea: that the Heavenly Dao did not want Konoha to become better or stronger than ever before.

He was like the mastermind behind it all, bringing down Uchiha Kō and returning the world to its original state of war and chaos.

He looked at the God of Shinobi, God of Shinobi nodded. Then, the two of them turned to Uchiha Kō without making a sound.

Uchiha Kō spoke first, "Everyone, are you satisfied with the food?" He asked after discussing the next battle strategy with Nara Rokumei.

"Delicious! The taste of National Style is truly world-class, making it unforgettable!" everyone exclaimed with laughter.

The Impure World Reincarnation ninjas curled their lip in disapproval. "It's just some food, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? Seriously, they're a bunch of country bumpkins."

Although they thought this to themselves, their eyes were fixed on the dishes: large fish, meat, delicacies from land and sea, and fine wines and dishes.

Uchiha Kō smiled, then looked at Namikaze Minato: "Minato, come up and say a few words." His eyes were encouraging, and he seemed to have high expectations for Minato.

Namikaze Minato put down his sake cup and stepped forward. "Esteemed elders and brothers, the Lord Hokage's contributions to Konoha are surely evident and remembered by all."

"I am honored by the Lord Hokage's kindness in allowing me to speak on stage. I will just say a few words," Namikaze Minato said calmly.

Everyone became serious, because in their hearts, Namikaze Minato was the Fifth Hokage of Konoha and the future successor of Uchiha Kō.

In that case, everyone will naturally want to see how well he speaks and whether he gets nervous.

Namikaze Minato was lucky because his master in this world was Uchiha Kō.

Namikaze Minato was also unfortunate because his master was Uchiha Kō.

As Namikaze Minato Uchiha Kō's eldest disciple and successor, Minato Namikaze's position meant that it would eventually be his, and no one could challenge it.

Konoha is now ridiculously powerful. Even if the Kage of the four great ninja villages were all resurrected and led their ninja forces at their peak, they probably wouldn't be a match for Konoha now.

Konoha is incredibly good at hiding its strength. The sheer variety of weapons they possess is dazzling and overwhelming, giving Namikaze Minato a solid foundation—a foundation that will ensure his invincibility and allow him to continue protecting Konoha.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato is said to be the luckiest person, possessing the most powerful army, the deepest foundation, and the most invincible resources from the moment he debuted.

That makes sense.

However, this was also his misfortune, because there was an insurmountable mountain in front of him, and no matter what he did, he would pale in comparison to his master Uchiha Kō.

Everything has two sides; it all depends on how you handle it and how you compete.

Namikaze Minato's eyes sharpened as he scanned the entire area; his appearance already bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Uchiha Kō.

The Konoha Ninja below, seeing Namikaze Minato's expression, felt not fear, but excitement—yes, excitement!

"This war is different from any other; it concerns our entire Ninja World, the entire world, and our entire civilization."

"We were born into this chaotic world, and we must bear the corresponding responsibility, which is to persist in the struggle against the Heavenly Dao and believe that humanity can overcome nature!"

Upon hearing Namikaze Minato's words, the Konoha Ninja immediately put down their sake cups and shouted, "Good!"

"Man will conquer nature! Man will conquer nature!!!!"

"Heavenly Dao is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs, making the good suffer while the bad run rampant! What kind of bullshit Heavenly Dao! We don't believe in it!"

"We only recognize the laws of Konoha and the treaty of the Ninja World. We do not recognize the Heavenly Dao, nor do we believe in the heavens!" Voices rang out, filled with determination and resolve.

Namikaze Minato saw this scene, he didn't panic. Instead, he smiled. His teacher had taught him that no matter what big thing happened, he shouldn't panic, because if he panicked, others would only panic more.

No matter when, where, or what situation you are in, if you can take responsibility, shoulder burdens, stay true to your goals, and persevere in your efforts, you will succeed in whatever you do in the future.

Deeply influenced by the ideas of Uchiha Kō, Namikaze Minato was even more convinced of what his teacher had taught him at this moment. Looking at the scene of everyone present united in their determination to fight against the heavens, a smile appeared on his lips.

"I know that some of you persevere because of responsibility, some because of love, and some because of righteousness."

"No matter what the reason, we have a common goal, which is---" Namikaze Minato raised his right hand and pointed upwards.

"Attack the heavens, attack the heavens, attack the heavens, attack the heavens!"

"Attack the heavens, attack the heavens, attack the heavens, attack the heavens!"

The Konoha Ninja, one after another, rallied two, then four, and soon everyone in the hall was stirred up, shouting the slogan of "Defeat the Heavens," their faces resolute, their words resounding.

"That's right, let's fight the heavens! As long as we win this battle, we will break free from our shackles and will no longer die in some inexplicable battles."

"Just like the Second, who clearly mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, why couldn't he use it to Flying Thunder God after stopping the rogue ninjas Kinkaku Ginkaku Kinkaku Kumogakure?" Namikaze Minato looked at Senju Tobirama.

He was originally listening to Namikaze Minato's speech, but instead he was boasting to Uchiha Izuna Senju Hashirama, saying that Minato was indeed a disciple of Uchiha Kō, and that his ability to stir emotions and his debating skills were first-rate.

As the conversation progressed, Namikaze Minato steered the topic towards him, causing Senju Tobirama's previously teasing and admiring smile to crumble.

Namikaze Minato's words drew the attention of everyone present, causing them to turn their gazes to Senju Tobirama, their eyes filled with doubt, as if asking, "Is that really true?"

Senju Tobirama was somewhat speechless, but because of Namikaze Minato's words, he also recalled what had happened back then and felt that something was amiss.

Even though Kinkaku and Ginkaku possess the Nine-Tails Chakra and the Six Paths Treasured Tools, if they combine their strengths, he should avoid their attacks, but he shouldn't perish!

Why did he insist on confronting those two head-on? After racking his brains for a while, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat—he'd forgotten! He'd been so busy!

This is incredible. If it were anyone else, it would be one thing, but who is Senju Tobirama? He created the Book of Sealing, which records hundreds of ninjutsu.

Many of these ninjutsu techniques are so advanced that ordinary people would struggle to learn them even in their entire lives. Yet Senju Tobirama not only mastered them all but could also record them. Who would believe that someone like that had a bad memory?

Senju Tobirama's expression changed; he had realized something was wrong. Originally, he hadn't thought much of it after the incident, assuming it was just that he had underestimated his opponent.

But today, Namikaze Minato's words woke him up. He began to recall the details of what happened back then and realized that he had really been too foolish!

Being at the back doesn't mean risking my life to hold them off! With my strength, I shouldn't die!

And why would he test his students by asking them to become Hokage and his support? They were only in their early twenties. Was he crazy? Or was he simply insane? If not, then there's only one reason.

Senju Tobirama took a deep breath, sighed, closed his eyes in thought, and finally opened them again. "Namikaze Minato is right. I do remember that day, but I can't recall the details of the crucial moments."

His face was extremely pale, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, as if his gaze could penetrate the ceiling and look straight up to the sky.

Uchiha Kō nodded. He felt there was something inexplicable in the original story: the Second Hokage, Uchiha Senju Tobirama, although not as strong as Senju Hashirama or Madara Uchiha, was still strong enough to overwhelm the Kage of various villages in the Ninja World at that time.

Moreover, he was skilled at scheming and adept at concealing his strength. It would be good enough if such a person didn't become a threat to the Ninja World. How could he be killed by two little Karami? That's ridiculous!

Seeing Senju Tobirama's reaction, Uchiha Kō confirmed his suspicions: Senju Tobirama had definitely been tricked by the Heavenly Dao; it was a plot device!

There's no other way. As long Senju Tobirama lives, Konoha won't decline; in fact, it will be in a period of rapid development for a long time. If Konoha is allowed to develop unchecked, will the story of Heavenly Dao (the protagonist's destiny) still unfold?

How can we let the two destined protagonists fight each other, just to give them more entertainment?
