[i]Tink. Tink. Tink.[/i] [indent][i]"I see hows youse stop, girl. I see hows youse reject my words. But teh words I speak are teh truth. There were men before Sai far worse. A war before Sai far worse, an' ignorant little runts like chu ten' to forget about it. Teh Second Great Shinobi War..."[/i] he told her as he chuckled. Reality was, there was no history class about this war. Almost no one spoke of it. It was the war that led up to the regime of Sai, but no one had ever really explained it, especially to the younger crowd. Bits and pieces of wars from the past were lost, especially that of the First Great Shinobi War and the villages before Sai. The world was purged of itself, and men like Hayato held the last keys to it. [i]"I seen Sai 'imself. Hitori-san and Sai spoke on teh last battlefiel'. Do youse know why Hitori was hailed a hero? Not 'cause he ended Sai, but 'cause he tried not to. Sai was left drained. All dose wicked beasts taken from him, his clones cut up - his hearts pierced, an' he still fought. He fought with passion dat even if was wron', mon cheri, was dah most admirable t'ing a man can have. Hitori, seein' dat spark in him - that humanity - offered teh let'm go if he had himself sealed. Hitori would've let Sai live to see his dream come true in dis generation,"[/i] Hitori told the girl as he had his hand raised, allowing a muted, yet still powerful-in-appearance ball of swirling wind appear before her using his Spherical variant. [i]"Sai was gonna kill'm all.He had teh same idea, ya see. He wanted a worl' with no soldiers. No wars. He saw teh only way fo dat to be to kill'm all, including 'imself. Hitori den used teh Reaper Death Seal to save us all, girl,"[/i][/indent] Hayato shook his head, assuming his speech would fall on deaf hears he would then have to make bloody, yet still made the attempt. [i]"Youse don' think a man like Sai took o'er teh worl' alone, tho, didja? Sai wasn't nothin' for worl' domination. Truth is, an' everyone dat ain't a runt like you knows, dat Sai had his empire given to'm. He had a sensei dat was a tactical genius, an' alongside his son, brother and best frien' took over Iwagakure. Dey held a coup durin' teh Second Great Shinobi War, and den used dat country as a base to take teh others. Not shit I guess you knew, but lemme tell ya, it was a war dat didn't need fought. Do you know what spurred it? Teh arrogance of Konoha. No one knows what specifically started teh war, but it came from dese here - our lil home. First was teh Land of Lightnin', den Water, and seein' teh opportunity the Lan' of Earth came in. Dat war was fought o'er selfish pride; I was trained to fight'n'die in it. My home was Ame, girl. I fought a few battles, but when the coup in Iwa ended up branchin' to Kumo and started war with Kiri, we fled. We fled 'cause didn' stan' a chance. Ame was left to die by Konoha, and its only salvation was teh shinobi dat took over teh worl' once called it home."[/i] Dozens of the little metallic balls floated around Kami, defying gravity as if that was an accomplishment. In truth, Hayato was just waiting to use them, even though he didn't really wish to. [i]"You t'ink I'm some barbarian girl, but you don' know. You don' know how the foolish, arrogant pride of a few can cause the deaths of so many. You don' know not understandin' one's place can result in so much death. You don't see how teh Resistance everyone idolizes wasn't e'en the only one. T'ere were dozens of'm all across teh lands. It was with dere combined efforts dey beat Sai, not just a few. Dat is what Hitori and Hosuka understan', and dat is why we get so much lenience. We were part of teh same cause, but don't chu for a moment think tere weren't others like-minded dat would've done far more harm dan good. Theyz still aroun', too. Youse know what happened to Division B, an' dats why I was made a sensei. I won' letch punks get churselves killed. En' a story."[/i]
