Chapter 128 : Stars of Fire!

Kazuhiko had finally reached a decision, whether it was for the sake of the world or for himself.

The transformation of the ninja world must happen!

Pacing back and forth in the small courtyard, Kazuhiko contemplated his own path. Afterward, he gently lifted Tsunade and carried her back to the house, placing her on the bed to rest. He then returned to the house to tidy up.

While lying on the bed, he silently pondered his chosen course.

The first step was to comprehend why the initial path of change taken by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, had been flawed.

Indeed, Senju Hashirama had initially brought about change and peace to the ninja world. However, shortly after his death, the same mistakes resurfaced.

The ninja world remained embroiled in endless conflicts, and ordinary people continued to suffer, uncertain of their fates...

What did this signify?

It indicated that the path of the First Hokage was unquestionably incorrect!

Another crucial observation was that, despite the passing years, no one had pointed out this flaw.

Why was this the case? The first ninja war had already occurred, so why had no one acknowledged the mistake?

There was only one plausible explanation: the inhabitants of Konoha were immersed in the pride of being part of the first ninja village, created by the First Hokage.

Other shinobi villagers were also inclined to uphold the existing institutional model.

Individuals in smaller countries lacked a voice and the capacity for change. Perhaps they struggled with literacy, making it difficult for them to grasp any alterations.

Yet, no one had criticized this flawed system, preventing the creation of something new.

No one desired change because no one was aware of the mistake.

What a dreadful circumstance this was!

They lived in this environment, considering everything normal.

Only an outsider, like Kazuhiko, swiftly recognized the distorted nature of this world.

Even without a deep understanding of the ninja world, one only needed to explore and observe.

It became evident that, inevitably, the world would continue to witness massive wars.

This was because the world oppressed ordinary people and even average ninjas too severely!

The world has been ailing ever since Ōtsutsuki Kaguya made her appearance.

She distributed Chakra's fruit, and the world eagerly imbibed it.

Initially, everything seemed fine, and the results of Chakra satisfied everyone.

The allure of mystical ninjutsu is intoxicating, and the diverse abilities of Chakra in multicolor fascinate everyone.

Regrettably, Chakra is indeed a medicinal herb, but it can only prolong life.

If not renewed before the expiration date, the carrion must be removed.

Chakra not only fails to sustain but transforms into a poison, further afflicting the world.

This, in turn, complicates the treatment, leading to the sequelae of Chakra.

Yet, it's evident that no one has survived this existence; no one has managed to shed the decay and embrace a new life.

The most promising individuals before this were the protagonists of the previous generation in the Hokage world.

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama attempted to heal the world through change.

On the path to saving the world, they were once the closest comrades, unmatched in their time.

Thus, they established the ninja village system.

Regrettably, they eventually parted ways due to differences in philosophy.

The ultimate clash of ideas occurred in the Valley of the End, where Senju Hashirama emerged victorious.

Uchiha Madara was defeated.

Tragically, both their paths went astray, even the victorious Senju Hashirama.

They missed the prime opportunity to save the world.

Instead, the malady in this world worsened, and First Hokage managed to contain it before his demise.

Shortly after, war erupted.

The ninja world plunged back into the era of wars among nations, but this time, the conflicts bore nobler names.

Just as Konoha fought for the "will of fire," other nations fought for their prominent ninja villages.

For Kazuhiko, educated successfully for many years, his current priority is his perspective. The world in his previous life may have lacked superpowers, let alone ninjutsu, but it provided him with a normally functioning brain.

In contrast, Kazuhiko and others in the ninja world possess vastly different cognitive heights, incomparable to Kazuhiko.

Do they understand molecules, atoms, or the underlying political system? Do they comprehend new changes? Do they follow the right path?

They don't even know!

However, after years of hard work in his previous life, tirelessly studying for exams and navigating a sea of books, Kazuhiko possesses an advantage acknowledged by all in the Hokage world.

It's the self who toiled through various exam papers, continuously deepening his understanding of himself and the world.

Kazuhiko is immensely grateful for the learning hardships endured in his past life.

He appreciates the self who struggled to study, as it molded him into the mature individual he is today.

Suddenly, a line from a movie he liked in his previous life crosses Kazuhiko's mind.

"People, you have to fulfill yourself!"

Isn't he fulfilling himself now?

Thanks to the spread of education and nine-year compulsory education, he established a comprehensive worldview.

They can easily acquire knowledge, constantly enriching themselves, greatly enhancing their learning abilities.

Let their reserve knowledge be exceedingly rich, and let them possess the ability to distinguish right from wrong!

Know what is right and what is wrong, understand life, comprehend death.

Kazuhiko puts away his thoughts and gazes at the full moon outside the window.

He realizes that what he has done is not enough; he is still far from changing the ninja world!

"Work hard and become stronger! The world is sick! No one acknowledges it, so let me! Let me correct it!"

"Let me heal this chaotic world, let me bring a new order to this world, and a genuine change to people!"

"This change is not like First Hokage's; it's not merely a change in name. The battle persists after the change."

"This is a change that belongs to me. It's real, verified by countless benevolent and righteous people in previous lives. Old ideas will be discarded, and a new world will be established!"

Kazuhiko recalls the living beings in the ninja world, witnessing the disappearance of ninjas, the apathy of commoners, and feeling the mourning in their hearts.

At that time, a vague idea lingered in his mind.

Especially after leaving the Land of Whirlpools, on the way to Konoha, he strolled around and observed.

The feeling grew stronger.

At that time, Kazuhiko didn't understand it.

Now, he comprehends—it's the determination to change everything!

It's the urge to dismantle this corrupt old order!

It's the desire to construct a truly harmonious world!

That feeling is a revolution!

Remove the decay and gain new life! Righteousness.
