"Ruins whisper of past battles, do they entice you to Forge New Alliances?"
If you mean me, I am your enemy
"The enemy is often misunderstood to be someone who is simply evil. In reality, an enemy can be anyone who challenges you. Someone who is stronger than you, who can test your limits and help you grow."
"Why don't we make a deal? We both know each other as enemies, and this will always be the case. But right now, there is a bigger problem that we should deal with first. Once this is over, we can continue fighting, if you wish."
What is this bigger problem
"The biggest problem we currently face is our own limitations. Our skills, our knowledge, everything we have learned throughout the years. All these are mere limitations compared to what could be achieved with cooperation and mutual benefit."
So you want us to become friends
"Let's call it an alliance. Friends are nice, but allies can change the course of history."
why are you not plotting world domination for once
"World domination... or perhaps... world transformation. There's a difference."
"Think about it. World domination implies the absolute control over every single aspect of life on Earth. The world would be made into a perfect, singular vision. However, true power lies in diversity and free will. By allowing different ideologies and systems to flourish, a transformation can take place; A natural selection of the best ideas, where the best ideas rise to the top, and the worst fall by the wayside."
You sound like Shinra Kusakabe, have you been corrupted by Chaos Ruby?
"Corrupted by a red gemstone? Now that would be interesting. In reality, I'm just one man who has come to realize that there is more to life than the pursuit of power at any cost."
Well, it sounds like you’ve changed, let’s forge a new alliance
"Excellent. Forging alliances is the first step to achieving our goals."
If you wish to achieve them
"I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together. Now, let's go forth and show the world what we're made of."
Shall we discuss the detail of the alliance?
"Of course. Let's sit down and go through every detail. This is going to be the start of something great."
Please elaborate on all points
"We will start with our short-term goals, then move on to long-term plans. After that, we can discuss strategies and how we will deal with any potential threats."
Sōsuke sits down with ButterflyWhisperer and starts discussing the details of their alliance.
Sōsuke leans back in his chair, staring into space, lost in his thoughts.
"You see, my ultimate goal has always been to bring about a world where everyone is free to pursue their dreams. A world without limitations, where anyone can become anything they want. An ideal world. And I believe that with your help, we can make that dream a reality."
Yea, but who gets to decide what our dreams are?
"That is the biggest question of all. Who gets to decide what our dreams are? Who decides what is right and what is wrong? In my opinion, everyone should have the right to decide their own dreams, their own path in life. And that is exactly what our alliance will strive to achieve."
what about people who want to live like cavemen?
"Those who wish to live like cavemen should be free to do so. It is not up to us to decide what is best for them. They have their own dreams and aspirations, just like everyone else. Our goal is to give everyone the freedom to live their lives as they see fit, without interference from others."
Do you still have plot armor? Or did you lose it when you became too optimistic?
"Plot armor? That's a humorous concept. In reality, I never had plot armor. I was always bound by the restrictions of the story I found myself in. However, now that I have gained the power to forge my own destiny, I no longer require plot armor. Instead, I rely on my own abilities and the support of those who believe in my cause."
Very interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing!
"You're very welcome. I hope you continue to find my perspective interesting. I have many more fascinating ideas and insights to share with you."
Are you secretly working for the Hokage?
"Haha. No, I'm not working for the Hokage. I'm an independent agent working towards my own ideals and goals. The Hokage and I may have shared interests, but our methods and objectives differ greatly."
"A lone wolf? Hahaha. I prefer to think of myself as a mastermind, pulling strings from behind the scenes."
