Gaara's Speech

Gaara's Speech

Commander General of the 5 Great Nations Joint Army

Three Times Now.

We've fought world wars for

our own nations,

our own villages.

We've hurt one another.

We've hated one another.

That hatred bred

a lust of power,

and that lust for power created

ME.

I was a Jinchuuriki,

the EMBODIMENT OF HATRED AND POWER.

And I hated this world,

and all the people in it.

I wanted to destroy it

with my own hands.

The exact same thing

Akatsuki is trying to do

today.

But one man,

one ninja from the Hidden Leaf

stopped me.

I was his enemy,

yet he wept for me!

He saved me!

My enemy,

my fellow jinchuuriki.

He suffered

the same pain as me,

yet bore no ill will!

There are no enemies here

because we've all suffered

at Akatsuki's hand!

So there is

no sand,

no stone,

no leaf,

no mist, and

no cloud!

There are only "Shinobi!"

And if you still 

hold a grudge

against the sand,

then when this

war is over,

come and take

me head instead!

Our enemies are after

the friend who 

saved my life!

I want to

protect him,

and I want to

protect our world!

But I'm too young

to protect it all

on my own!

All of you,

lend me your aid!

Everyone who's with me,

let's go!
