Chapter 30 - Will of Stone (Speech) (2/2)

Give the will of stone speech?

I never heard of this. This was not even the script we created. Why do I have to give a speech in front of our force?” I asked Senko angrily.

”Well, you see. It's because every time Kento-san goes out to the public, he always tells will of stone speech and increases our force morale. It became more like habit.

If you don't give, our force will certainly get suspicious of it.”

”But, I never gave out Will of stone speech before!! How am I suppose to do it?”

”Just tell what Kento-san told us at first battle plan meeting. I believe in you.”

'I can't tell him that I covered my ears and didn't listen to it, can I?'

”Oh god, This is so tiring!!” I couldn't swear or disobey in front of my superior.

We went to a place where I would give out the will of stone speech.

There were already hundreds of Iwa shinobi waiting for me.

I slowly stepped to the platform.

*sigh* 'If I knew this happens, I should listen to Onoki's boring lesson more carefully. I am so screwed.

Wait a minute, All these fighting made me forget that I have an ultimate know-everything system with me.

Hey system, do you know what is the will of stone?'

System: ”Don't worry, host. System has an explanation on the will of stone.”

'As expected of System, you have every information. I love you, buddy!!'

For 3 minutes, System has told me what's the will of stone directly to my brain.

However, I still didn't get what is the will of stone crap.

(A/N: First Tsuchikage told Onoki what's the will of stone, so I am just gonna copy that shit.)

I decided to copy exactly what the System said to me.

I cleared my voice and proudly went off to give a speech.

(A/N: Okay, from now on is the lesson about the will of stone. You can just skip until the end if you don't want to know about this bullcrap. hahaha)

”Hello, my fellow powerful Iwa shinobi!!!

Right now I am standing here, not as your division commander, but as your teacher of will of stone.

Lately, a lot of you are showing signs of weakness and gives up. This means you carry the weak will of stone.

To the person who mastered will of stone to a great level, he can tell the worth of any stone he sees just by taking a good look at it for a moment.

There is a rock in the center of the Iwagakure stone monument. But even if you replace it with regular stone, no one would ever know, except the cleaner.

What's really important is the will of stone inside you. Key hidden within will of stone you guys possess is the power to change the entire world.

(A/N: But I am sure Iwa never changed the world before.)

But if you aren't careful, I worry that precious will of yours may disappear just like the current situation where lot you believing what enemies saying and losing hope.”

I don't know what the fuċk I am talking about, but it seems effects are showing as audiences are all listening to me attentively.

I became quiet for a while to build suspense.

”Hurdles, Obstacles, Restrictions!!

As you guys keep running into them, you may abandon your will. Make excuses or perhaps even replace it with hatred.

Yes, Hatred which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man who hated, and this was an immutable law.

Listen well!!

You will never abandon it and always stride with pride!!”

I loudly shouted.

That was the end of what system said, however, I didn't hear the sound of clapping that I was expecting.

I guess they are too awed by my speech that they forgot to clap.

But no matter how long I waited, they never clapped. I started to get panic.

”So what I am saying is that, eh eh,

(*thinking & panicking*) Will of stone about never gives up on your ninja way!! Yea that's it.

Alright, that's for today's speech, you can clap for me if you don't mind.”

I got panicked in the end and just said out Naruto's catchphrase.

Audiences, realizing speech was finished, all started to clapping.

Some of them were even crying and started to apologize out of nowhere for believing enemies' rumor.

(A/N: Okay, that's it for the will of the stone lesson. I can't think of any more bullshit to write about will of stone.)

Senko and others escorted me back while praising me for giving a wonderful speech.

”Haha, As expected of our greatest genius. Your philosophy about the will of stone is just perfect.” Senko congratulated.

”We can say today's operation was a huge success.

We halted Kento-san's death rumor, increased our force's morale, and even captured a few Suna spies.

Let's do our best tomorrow evening, too.”

I was happy to listen to Senko's words until I heard the last part.

'What a pain in the ȧss, I have to do it every night. I ain't even getting paid for this shit.'
