But even if I told you why...

... I doubt very strongly that the knowledge would change anything at all.

But let's say that I take the time to explain it to you.

What do you think would happen then?

I have nothing to say to you.

My goal is to fulfill the dream even Jiraiya sensei was unable to achieve.

As I said earlier...

... what I want is to create peace and bring about justice.

Create peace? Justice?

Are you kidding?

Give me a break!

You killed my master...

... and my sensei!

Hurt my friends...

... destroyed my village!

After all of the horrible things that you've done...

... don't you dare talk about peace and justice!

Then tell me, what is your goal?

First, I'm gonna kill you!

And then, I'm gonna bring peace to the ninja world!

Oh, I see; that is noble of you.

That would be justice.

However...

... what about my family?

My friends?

My village?

They suffered the same fate as this village at the hands of you Hidden Leaf ninja.

How is it fair to let only you people preach about peace and justice?

What the hell are you talking about?

Once, the Land of Fire and the Hidden Leaf had grown too big.

To protect their national interest, they forced feudal clans to wage war against each other and profited from it.

Otherwise, the people of the villages would've starved.

As it happened, our little nation and it's villages became the battlefield where the great nations waged their war.

Each time they did, our nation was ravaged and laid to waste.

After many such battles, the great nation stabilized.

But our smaller nations suffered, and it barely recovered.

You and I are both seeking the very same thing.

We both want to achieve the peace that Jiraiya sensei envisioned.

You and I are the same.

We're both motivated by our desire for peace and justice.

The justice that I have delivered against the Leaf village is no different from what you are trying to do to me.

Everyone feels the same pain when losing something dear.

You and I have both experienced that pain.

You strive for your justice, and I strive for mine.

We're both just ordinary men who've been driven to seek vengeance in the name of justice.

And if one comes to call vengeance "justice", such "justice" will only breed further vengeance and trigger a vicious cycle of hatred.

Right now, we live in such a cycle.

I know the past and can foretell our future.

It is the same as our history.

So, we believe that human beings simply cannot understand each other, and they never will.

The Shinobi world of ours is ruled by hatred and hatred alone.

However...

... even I'm able to see that there's entirely too much hate in this Shinobi world of ours.

There's too much hate?

Ah, I've always wanted to do something about all of this hatred.

I'm just not quite sure how to go about it as of yet.

But I truly believe that eventually, the day will come when all people will understand one another and live in harmony.

Boy, it sounds kind of complicated to me.

And if I can't find the solution to this problem, then perhaps I'll entrust you to find it instead, eh, Naruto?

Yes, sir!

I can't turn down a request from my master, can I, Pervy Sage?

So, Naruto, how would you confront this hatred in order to create peace?
