[direct translation]
There's nothing more troublesome than a shinobi that has lost his occupation.
Unable to display his power or to make a living.
In a village that stresses business, the ones who have the money are celebrated. Shinobi will be chased to the outskirts of the village. They'll get treated like dogs, the hands which were tainted for the village's sake will be glared at. They'll start selling saigenzai.
Who can be sure that Leaf Village won't end up like that?
That thought made me laugh.
Someday, Leaf Village should end up like that too. Someone should make some incredible invention, or dig up some precious resources and…
In that case the society where shinobi rule would collapse immediately. The city's guardian deity would no longer be the Hokage but would be money. Guys like Naruto would spend a lifetime ignored.
A Naruto that wouldn't be heard by anyone? …That's funny. I laughed. Shinobi truly have no more worth than that.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, I laughed aloud. A dog, startled by the noise, barked in the distance somewhere. As long as the shinobi system continues, a second and third generation Itachi will appear. Under the banner of justice, someone else will be forced to sacrifice himself.
Is Leaf Village worth the sacrifice?
In the end, how do Leaf Village's and Tobi's methods even differ?
