Chapter 44 These Idiots!!

In the Uchiha clan, in the dim clan leader's residence, two figures sat opposite each other.

Only a candlestick emitted a faint candlelight, casting the shadows of the two on the wall.

The shadows kept shaking and twisting with the candlelight, just like the suppressed and silent atmosphere in the room at this time.

"As expected of my son, you can enter the Anbu, which can be said to have a promising future..."

Uchiha Fugaku interrupted the dull atmosphere.

Although it was a comforting word, there was no joy in his tone.

"But you have to remember my words."

He stared at Itachi, who was silent and bowed his head in front of him, and warned with a serious expression: "You are not only Itachi of the Anbu, but also Itachi of the Uchiha clan!"

And Uchiha Itachi also slowly raised his head and responded expressionlessly: "...Yes."

Looking at his son, Fugaku felt a little more comforted and less depressed.

During this period, he was really too tired.

Recently, the clan meetings held within the Uchiha clan have become more and more frequent.

The radical faction was becoming more and more powerful, and more and more Uchiha clan members supported them.

Although he, the clan leader, was more conservative, he was not the only one who had the final say in the Uchiha clan.

Some senior elders also supported the radical faction behind the scenes, which made him, the clan leader caught in the middle, miserable.

"However, since the third generation allowed Itachi and Shisui to join the Anbu, I think he was also thinking of easing the relationship."

With Shisui and Itachi maintaining the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan, at least it would not be completely broken.

At worst, if the day of rebellion really came, Shisui and Itachi could also become their source of intelligence.

However, Fugaku did not notice the disappointment that flashed in his son's eyes.

"Father, can your eyes only see the Uchiha clan?"

In a trance, he seemed to see the scene when he was first taken to the battlefield by his father.

Konoha ninja, Iwagakure ninja, Kumogakure ninja...

Countless kunai shurikens whistled shrilly, and the ninjas rushed towards the enemy with weapons in their hands.

There was only hatred, anger, and fear in their eyes, and even their hearts were filled with hatred.

When they killed the enemy, they would be killed by another enemy, over and over again, endlessly.

On this battlefield, fresh lives are disappearing all the time.

The haze swept the entire sky, cold rain kept dripping from the air, the pungent smell of blood made people want to vomit, and the whole land was dyed dark red by blood.

That war was seen by Itachi, who was only four years old.

He just stood there blankly, watching his father kill all the invading enemies.

There was no longer the gentleness and smile on his father's face, only endless hatred and disgust.

Swish! !

The enemy's blood splashed on Itachi's tender and dull face.

His bright black pupils reflected the extremely cruel things in front of him, and his young heart was deeply shocked by this scene.

"This is the Ninja World War..."

The war lasted until the sun rose.

There was no winner, and only countless corpses were left in the end.

And just as Itachi walked among the corpses, a seriously injured and wailing Iwagakure caught his attention.

"Uh ah!!"

Under Fugaku's expressionless gaze, Itachi didn't care about his identity as Iwagakure.

But he raised his head and fed him his water.

"Thank, thank you..."

The Iwagakure ninja slowly opened his eyes, but saw the ninja tool on his waist.

Instantly came back to his senses, and took the opportunity of Itachi turning his head, and stabbed the kunai in his hand straight into his vitals.

He didn't care at all that he had just saved his life.

Swish! !

The strong reaction talent made Uchiha Itachi instinctively stretch out the kunai in his hand.

Just one knife cut the throat of the Iwagakure ninja.

"Father, why..."

Looking at the ninja who fell to the ground with his head raised, Itachi's tone was full of confusion and fear: "Why did this ninja want to kill me? Obviously, I did nothing..."

Fugaku slowly came to his side and said coldly: "Because this is a war."

"It's not a fight between people, but a fight between countries, so there will be meaningless fighting between strangers."

War...

"War, is that so?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, looked at the corpse with a distorted face, and slowly clenched his fists.

A strong sense of disgust surged into his heart, making him feel strongly suffocated and almost fainted.

Their death, their will, was just for their own village, their family behind them...

Such a battle, without the distinction between justice and evil, is simply meaningless.

"This is the world of ninjas!"

Fugaku didn't care about his expression and continued to say: "Listen, Itachi."

"Don't forget the scene in front of you."

The father's cold and ruthless words hit Itachi's heart hard.

He couldn't understand.

What is the meaning of war?

Is human conflict absolutely unavoidable?

"War..."

Is this the world he lives in?

A world like hell...

Itachi's body trembled, and he could only suppress the fear in his heart desperately.

But the corpses all over the ground, and the twisted and desperate faces, kept appearing in his mind.

No!!

Solving problems through fighting is wrong.

In any case...

This world needs to change!

Knock knock~

"Fugaku, Itachi, it's time to eat."

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Itachi's thoughts and brought him back to his senses from the shadow of his childhood.

"Wait a minute, we'll be there soon."

Fugaku responded and glanced at his son who was silent and bowed his head, but he didn't care.

He reminded him: "Sasuke will also go to school in a while. His talent is not as good as yours. You, as a brother, should teach him more in your spare time."

When Itachi heard his father mention Sasuke, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.

"...Okay."

No matter what, he didn't want Sasuke to live in a world full of fighting.

No matter what the cost.

…………

After eating, Uchiha Fugaku left his residence and came to the captain's office of the police force.

Although the functions of the police force have now been swallowed up by the Anbu, there are still big and small things that need to be handled by him every day.

After processing most of the documents, it was almost evening.

Bang! !

Just as Fugaku stood up and wanted to leave.

"It's bad, Captain!!"

A conservative Uchiha clan member pushed the door open, with an extremely anxious and panicked look on his face, reporting: "Some clan members have had a conflict with the Sarutobi clan, and now they are fighting!"

"What?!"

Uchiha Fugaku's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Why?"

"The Sarutobi clan members were talking about our previous violent law enforcement, and the Yashiro and his people heard it, and the two gangs had a quarrel, and finally they fought."

"This bunch of idiots!"

Uchiha Fugaku cursed secretly.

Some readers said that the plot has been a bit bland recently (scratching head.jpg)

Don't worry, this is a transition period, and the next part is the main film.

After all, the protagonist is not the kind of person with a head full of negative thoughts. It is impossible for him to completely destroy Konoha with a single spiral chariot, and that is left to Naruto and Sasuke.

Of course, the war will start, but you have to eat your food one bite at a time and walk your way step by step~
