Because of its theft of kekkei genkai, sale of intelligence, neglect of its duties, and constant fence-sitting, the Land of Grass was condemned by the entire shinobi world.
The leader of the Land of Grass, Mang, stepped forward and sneered:
“You think you’re so great! So high and mighty! Your village is the strongest, and you have two Tailed Beasts, while Kusagakure has nothing! Now you can look down on Kusagakure all you want! Let me tell you, the Land of Grass will never change! Do you know how badly little countries like ours have been bullied here? They bully us because we’re weak! We’re pathetic! We don’t have the strength or the territory! We have nothing! We’re scared. We’re scared that one day they’ll wipe us out, that we’ll end up like the Land of Whirlpools and be destroyed!
“You’re really something, huh? You’re one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages! And what is this lousy Land of Grass? Lousy Land of Grass, lousy Land of Grass, lousy Land of Grass!
“I’m going to take one step, then another, and another, and another, until the Land of Grass surpasses all of you!
“I want a strong country! I don’t want people bullying us anymore. I can’t stand it! I want us to become a great power in the shinobi world! I’m going to build the strongest, richest country there is, and bully everyone else every day!”
Farming, easygoing, building up power
