Ziren sat calmly back as he had listened to all of them speak. There was only hate in their words with only small bit of truth behind what they say. Some, he would agree with, other parts, not so much. As they all said their parts, Ziren calmly stood up. "You're right, Lady Hokage, it really is annoying. The stalemate of an argument that we are in. You say that you have won, but I can still see this argument going on for as long as both parties would like to point out their own point of views and thoughts. As for playing this whole omnipotent thing you are accusing me of, I'll just say this. I'm not trying to create a "utopia" where my word is the law and everything else is wrong. All I want to do is help people. I'm just a regular person who sees things and brings up the discussion rather than write it off as a problem. What you all do with your lives is one-hundred percent up to you, I can't agree with your own morals compared to my own, but if I see something that is clearly sadistic or whatnot, I will bring up questions and want to discuss. I understand that you may never trust me, but the whole 'I'm right, your wrong' fiasco you all are pulling on me is tiresome, even after I had agreed on some of your points, with only saying I have my own disagreements, not the whole 'right and wrong' business and talking down to me whilst I was talking to all of you like decent human beings. Having an open mind sometimes is good for solving problems, just as you said of there are always two sides of every story." He slowly pushed the chair in, slightly leaning on it. "You all might be thinking I have done some of these things for myself, and I will say part of me was being selfish, yes, but I also had the thought of my coming back to Leaf under no guise, even if this event with all of us here, didn't happen, I have a feeling it would play similar. If I had come back, under normal circumstances, there would be a case of fingers pointed nonetheless, I am a scapegoat after all," He gave a small chuckle in this tense moment the three of them are trying to build on him. "The reality is that I believe that if I had returned, me and the Fourth would have a talk, that would turn to a shouting match, that would turn into violence. And I frankly don't want to go 'down the road of darkness' kind of bull shit again, acting like a total edge lord and hating everything, because, yes, I am bringing up the cycle of hatred again, something is gonna happen, and there will be no peace in Leaf. So I took myself out of the equation, with in turn, me always looking behind my own back. Sacrifice my own peace so Leaf has their own. Believe me, or call it bull, your choice."
Ziren walked over by the door, hands in his pockets, "But I suppose that you all have made up your own minds and stand by your own beliefs, as I have mine. So let's say we stop wasting each other's time and go home for the day. Jirou-san, you wanted to escort me out, yes? Give you the warm and fuzzies of making sure a 'bad guy' like me doesn't hurt anyone."
He opened the door, but waited for Jirou to also take his leave with him, just so they understand the intent, but willing to go along with their little charades just to not cause any troubles.
