"Arrogant ......"

Kurayoshi chewed on the word, his mind drifting to the past.

As a Konoha garrison, the Uchiha clan can be described as conscientious, and Kurayoshi often sees Uchiha patrolling on the streets.

As a large clan, the Uchiha had a very good upbringing and was polite to people.

But somehow, when talking to this people, even if they are helped by the other party, it is difficult to have a good impression of them.

Kurayoshi didn't know the reason before, but now that itachi mentioned it, he probably knew.

It's pride and prejudice.

Although it is not obvious on the surface, the people of the Uchiha clan have great pride and prejudice in their words and deeds.

The belonging to a clan and the respect for a clan......

They are proud to be Uchiha, but they are never proud to be Konoha ninjas.

They are dedicated to the position of the garrison for the glory of the Uchiha, but they are never dutiful because they are Konoha people, and as Konoha guards, they are dedicated to the prosperity of Konoha.

People who are also Konoha have a hard time identifying with them.

Although they did not deliberately show off, nor did they despise anyone.

But the pride and prejudice engraved in their bones made them inadvertently distance themselves from each other in their words and deeds.

Perhaps they themselves didn't realize that it wasn't Konoha who isolated the Uchiha, but themselves.

If you don't understand that, then an easy-to-understand example will make you understand.

In order to serve the people, in order to create a harmonious society, the guards who often work overtime, the guards who clock in for wages, actively eliminate pornography and crime for bonuses, and fight for their own reputation and future......

Both are equally conscientious, but it is self-evident who will be welcomed and who will be reviled at it.

Kurayoshi pondered.

In the five years he had lived in Konoha, he had never seen anyone preach the feud between the Uchiha and the Thousand Hands.

Combined with the fact that the younger generation of the anime does not know about the grievances between the Uchiha and the Thousand Hands, the village is deliberately bridging the estrangement between the various races.

More than fifty years have passed since the Uchiha had a feud with Senju.

It's already the third generation, and the barriers of the past are long gone.

The villagers can't be distrustful of the Uchiha because of historical legacies.

If the Uchiha were not so arrogant and prejudiced, they would have been respected and trusted by the villagers as a garrison and have always been conscientious, and even loved and embraced by the villagers.

When he fell, even if he had such a suspicious illness as Tuan Zang, he couldn't set off any waves, at most he secretly raised some small means of prevention.

Obito fooled Sasuke by saying that the village's distrust of the Uchiha was due to historical reasons, and the Nine-Tails' attack on the village magnified this distrust.

Kurayoshi used to think so.

But now that itachi said this, he realized that it was all.

The real root is Uchiha's pride and prejudice.

And the reason why Obito used such words to fool Sasuke is because Sasuke also has this kind of arrogance and prejudice, and it is more serious than the average Uchiha.

But—

"Although the cause of all this is Uchiha's pride and prejudice, the Uchiha didn't do anything wrong, are you going to blame the Uchiha for everything?"

Pride and prejudice are annoying, but are pride and prejudice sinful?

No.

The Uchiha didn't do anything wrong either.

On the contrary, as the Konoha garrison, they have always been dedicated to their responsibilities and have made outstanding contributions to the security of Konoha is an indelible fact.

But is it fair to them that they are not rewarded for their contributions, but are targeted everywhere?

Kurayoshi stared at the back of the man standing in the doorway, looking at the thin, lonely figure.

It is only at this time that he notices the real age of the Itachi.

He is not yet 13 years old.

Itachi Uchiha smiled.

He looked at the snow falling from the sky, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, outlining a knowing smile.

"The world itself is unfair, if you want to survive in the world, you have to conquer it, or you have to adapt to it, the Uchiha has no power to conquer, you can only adapt to it, you can't let go of the pride and prejudice of a race, and it is only a matter of time before you are wiped out."

"So you ......"

"That's right, I'm going to erase the pride and prejudice of the Uchiha." Itachi's way of cutting gold and iron.

Kurayoshi groaned slightly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I already have a plan."

"How sure?"

"I don't know." Itachi shook his head slightly, "It's impossible to say for sure, but I'll remember the lesson of stopping the water and won't trust anyone." ”

"Don't I believe it either?" Kurayoshi teased with a smile.

Itachi turned around and stared at him quietly, silent.

The room fell silent, except for the sound of wind and snow blowing.

After a long time, Kurayoshi smiled lightly, "I'm just curious about what you'll do, so I won't interfere and make trouble for myself." ”

As he spoke, he threw the water-stopping immortal crystal to Itachi, and continued, "But to prevent you from failing in your operation and wasting my investment in vain, I will do two things for me before you act." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Uchiha clan's blood or hair or something, get me a little bit of everyone's, I don't need too much, a little bit is enough."

Itachi didn't answer immediately, but looked at the immortal crystal in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Hey, you don't have to be so smart!" Kurayoshi shouted.

Itachi looked up at Kurayoshi, who was like a child playing with a temper, and couldn't help but smile with an indifferent expression, "It's not that I'm smart, but your intentions are too obvious." ”

"Cut, that's because I didn't want to hide it from you, after all, you have to collect a lot of things."

"Do you need me to thank you for your trust?"

"No, you just do what I told you to do."

"That's fine, it can be done in a week, what about the second thing?"

"Teach me ninjutsu."

"What?"

Itachi's expression was visibly stunned, and although he quickly regained his indifference, he was still caught by Kurayoshi.

"What's so strange?" Kurayoshi pouted: "I'm only five years old now, and I haven't gone to a ninja school, I don't have a family inheritance of ninjutsu, and I don't have a master, what's wrong with finding someone to learn ninjutsu?" ”

"No, there's nothing wrong with that." Itachi said, "But I don't recommend that you learn ninjutsu now. ”

"Why?"

"I've been investigating you for the past two months, so I know your cultivation progress very well, and my advice is to master the ninja first and become proficient in practicing ninjutsu."

"But no matter how skilled the ninja is, it's not as powerful as ninjutsu!"

"In terms of power alone, it's true that ninjutsu is more powerful."

"That's it."

"But the ninja does not need to consume chakra, it can handle most tasks, and in most cases, the ninja is better than ninjutsu."

"I'm Chakrador, I'm not afraid of waste."

Itachi: "......"

Itachi fell silent.

Somehow, he felt the urge to beat the other person.

But considering the position of both parties, and after careful consideration, Itachi did a good job of suppressing this impulse.

"Even so, I don't recommend that you learn ninjutsu now, it's hard to explain the specifics to you at once, I'll make a long-term practice plan for you when I go back, you can follow this plan."
