Atom, it is a concept used in the Cold War.
The concept of mutual destruction.
If doing something bad would result in your entire country being destroyed, would you do it?
I understand fully the Cold War concept of MAD.
But Pein is proposing the actual destruction of hundreds of millions in order to stamp out war.
It is less of the Cold War concept of MAD and more of the "loose nuke" theory.
Pein says, "I will give my ultimate weapon (the combined biju) to the warring nations - people who have such a weapon will inevitably use it."
He is delusional, not altruistic.
Yeah, but this will still get his Goal, Peace!
and Kakashi will kill Pein using a Pain Killer
(Thanks Albedo)
Alright now friend, is he really delusional- or just fulfilling his "dream"?!
We have seen to a degree what the nine-tailed fox is capable of, if the 4th Hokage didn't use a forbidden sealing technique- there possibly would not be any Konoha as we know it today.
Naruto declares he will become hokage. Is this considered a dream/delusional?! Better yet, how about with or without the power of the nine-tailed within him, still a dream/delusional?!
As far as his statements of a God, it has been explained how Pein is able to use the senses of all the bodies, such a power makes one omnipresent and/or omnificent to a degree. Along with the creation of a new forbidden jutsu, capable of wiping out a total country in mere seconds...it can easily be seen why he calls himself a "god"...
As to PyrobOOger- you called the bible fictional?! That is quite interesting...especially since I am still waiting for some type of valid evidence that prove it is not accurate. Please feel free to PM the info...
