Chapter 5: Conflicting Perceptions and Confusion
"Huh? Why is the description on this page different from the others? ”
Uchiha looked at the contents of the ancient book, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he did not doubt him, and continued to lower his head and read the content carefully.
The book reads as follows:
In the year 426 of the Warring States calendar, in April, the weather was fine.
My name is Hiroshi Uchiha, I was born in the Uchiha family, in the year 417 of the Warring States calendar, and I have reached the age of 9 this year, and my strength has reached the level of special shinobi......
……
The description of this page is very different from the previous description, there is no fierce battle or victory declaration, self-description is more than anything else, more like a person writing a diary, but this diary is a record of his life!
Uchiha looked at the unusual record statement on this page of the book, and the originally excited mood slowly calmed down, and he continued to read without turning his eyes.
The content of the record on the book is not much, and the date description of the Warring States Calendar is also a record description that often jumps, and there are no twists and turns in the story, which is very plain, and it is far from the description on the previous page.
However, the three views that Uchiha Zang had originally been firmly established gradually wavered a little bit, and he suddenly felt that the Uchiha family he was born in did not seem to be as great as he imagined, and the other families were not as unbearable as described in the books.
He suddenly had an urge to urgently confirm the authenticity of the contents, and wanted to learn too much about whether the personnel of the major families were so unbearable, and whether they were really so weak compared to the Uchiha family.
Especially when he saw the description of the last sentence in the book, he couldn't help but suffocate even his gentle breathing.
The book reads as follows:
The descendants of the Uchiha, no matter how many hundred years have passed, when you look through this diary I wrote, please remember that the war is endless, and the blood is not stopped. By the time I write this, I've abandoned the glory of being an Uchiha, and maybe I'm a sinner who isn't a sinner......
Warring States Calendar: 458.
Message by: Hiroshi Uchiha.
……
Hiroshi Uchiha? The young Zang has not heard of it, but the child recorded above, Uchiha Kohei, served as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan two hundred years ago, and the duration is not short, and he is the clearest one of the Uchiha ancestors.
But...... The last sentence described in the book made him feel a little dazed.
Abandoning the glory of being an Uchiha, is this still a model for an Uchiha ancestor? Shouldn't the Uchiha people feel proud and proud to be born into the Uchiha clan? Why abandon it?
The Uchiha Zang, who was only four and a half years old, felt completely confused at this time, and he did regard the glory of the Uchiha clan as the most important thing in his life, which can be compared with family affection.
But now...... He wasn't sure.
“…… Why is that? ”
Uchiha's light blue eyes were full of doubt, and he felt that his thoughts were a little too bent to turn, and he felt the urge to ask his grandfather, but in the end he tried to suppress it.
Zang refocused his attention on the book, and read the content of this page from beginning to end again, but the more he read, the more confused and confused he became.
"If you abandon the glory of being an Uchiha, can you be peaceful?"
Uchiha Kura's face was full of confusion, and the feeling in his heart was extremely puzzled and incomprehensible, and in the end, fortunately, he didn't continue to turn the page, reopened the new book page, and set his eyes on it to continue reading.
It's a pity that the more you want to ignore some things, the more it will haunt you, and the confusion and doubts in your heart will disturb your hidden emotions from time to time, and even the wonderful descriptions in the books can't stand it, and even feel a little false and unrealistic.
"The Uchiha clan, is it really as powerful as the books describe? If so, then why did my parents die? And there are many people like me...... Grandpa's eye was also missing. ”
Uchiha is like a silly child who loves to drill the horns of the bull, lost on the road of life, trapped in a dead end and unable to get out, trying to rush out, but is blocked by a higher wall.
He only felt that his thoughts were very confused, this was an experience he had never had, before, he had always been proud to be born in the Uchiha family, and every day when he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar smiling faces of the clansmen, and the whole Uchiha was thriving, and he had his grandfather by his side, and every day was full of happiness and joy.
Except for the desire to become a strong man and contribute to the Uchiha clan every day, he really hasn't thought about the rest too much, and he has never been in contact with it...... Today, another thought and concept suddenly came out, which made him feel conflicted, a little depressed, and a little uncomfortable that he couldn't vent.
The Uchiha sat on the tatami mat, confused and dazed, until he finally fell asleep on the table before he knew it......
The next day, the moon receded and the sun slowly rose.
Accompanied by the chirping of birds, the Uchiha clan also opened the door one after another and began a new day.
"Yo, Koji, it's morning!"
"Well, Mi, you're early!"
"Uncle Huai, you got up pretty early!"
"Huh...... No, it's an old bone, and it's not as good as you young people. ”
"Look at what you said, you're just in your thirties, and you can still go to the battlefield and kill a few enemies!"
……
As soon as the sky dawned, the Uchiha clan had already begun to liven up, and similar scenes were repeated in other regions, and every Uchiha clansman had a happy look on their faces, and it was indeed a thriving scene.
Uchiha West Area, Comfort Street.
As usual, the restaurants, breakfast shops, and teahouses were also open as usual, and many Uchiha people came and went to greet each other, and then walked into the breakfast shop.
"Kui Ming, two ramen!"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
The Uchiha Kuiming in the ramen restaurant replied without raising his head, quickly fished out the hot ramen in his hand, put it in a bowl, and then kneaded the dough again, and began a new round of busyness.
The Uchiha clan was in the ramen restaurant with large chunks, and the sound of sucking and sucking was endless, but everyone didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and they were still eating ramen by themselves.
