Chapter 201: Negotiation
Whether history has a certain inevitability, future generations, looking back at the past history, will often say that those events that have already happened represent the inevitability of history. Itachi is deeply skeptical of this view.
History has its contingency, the same country, the same family, the same village, the people in charge are different, and the direction of history will definitely be different. Just like someone chooses to eat with their left hand or with their right hand in the morning, who can guarantee that what will happen after that is absolutely the same!
More than sixty years ago, if the Uchiha clan had not appeared in Madara and the Senju clan had not appeared in the pillars, where would there have been the establishment of Konoha Village. At that time, he wrote books and said, asserting that the establishment of Konoha Village was a historical inevitability, and it was just an afterthought.
Madara is a very complex and contradictory character. Infected by the personality of the pillars, Madara led the Uchiha clan to reconcile with the Senju clan and co-founded Konoha Village. With the abilities of their generation, Madara hopes that Tsuruma can lead Konoha Village to unify the ninja world and achieve lasting peace in the ninja world.
The existence of many ninja villages has led to a scuffle in the ninja world. In Madara's creed, to be benevolent, you must first be brutal.
Madara's claim sounded so naked that it was very uncomfortable, and in Tsuruma's consciousness, there was no idea of unifying the ninja world, and he just wanted to ensure Konoha's hegemony. The Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and between the spots and the pillars, it finally broke up.
The person Tsuruma, in the evaluation of later generations, Pillar has almost reached the highest height of a ninja. When it comes to Tsuruma, people in the ninja world will say that this is a great ninja with a benevolent heart. However, in Itachi's eyes, the benevolence of the pillars has gained a good reputation, but it has brought endless suffering to Konoha.
Kill to stop killing, although killing can be; To fight to fight, although war can be. Long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and if short-term killing can bring permanent peace in the ninja world, then it is true benevolence. The benevolence between the pillars allowed the other ninja villages to get time to recuperate, and the ninja war that happened later, the other ninja villages did not spare Konoha because of the benevolence between the pillars.
He gained a good reputation, but he left the suffering to future generations. Compared to Tsuruma, deep down, Itachi believes that in the troubled times of the ninja world, people like Madara may be more suitable to lead Konoha to get more substantial benefits.
After Madara left, the Uchiha clan remained loyal to Konoha and did not follow Madara to attack Konoha. In the previous ninja wars, there are no longer a few ninjas who have died in the Uchiha clan. As long as the Konoha higher-ups sincerely accept the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha will not have a sense of grievance.
But Konoha , after the death of the pillar, he directly passed the position of the Hokage to the Kazuma. Kazuma personally killed Izuna and was full of hatred for the Uchiha, these things were too clear for Tsuruma to be clear. Knowing that Kazuma will deal with the Uchiha after coming to power, Tsuruma still supports Kazuma to take power, and if you want to say that Tsuruma doesn't have the mind of the Uchiha clan in his heart, Itachi will not believe it.
After Kazuma became the Hokage, while strengthening the Hokage's power, the Uchiha clan continued to be marginalized. The Uchiha's clansmen watched their companions sweat, bleed and shed tears, but they did not gain the corresponding status. When there is a promotion, it is always not the turn of the Uchiha clansmen, and the dark department representing the elite ninja is absolutely forbidden for the Uchiha ninja to join. Under such an obvious exclusion policy, if the Uchiha clan is still stupid and has no ideas, it will really be sold and help others count the money.
Konoha treats Uchiha like a heart, and Uchiha works hard for Konoha without any complaints. Konoha treats the Uchiha like a, and of course the Uchiha will have complaints about the Konoha high-level officials, which is human nature. Could it be that Konoha can still make the Uchiha run like a horse without giving him grass?!
Now, Sarutobi accuses the Uchiha of being sorry for Konoha to his face, and Itachi is certainly not happy. The Uchiha clan left Konoha and didn't let you Konoha high-level people force it.
"I've always advocated a peaceful resolution of the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha, but you Uchiha didn't give me enough time, and you, it seems, didn't trust the village in the first place." Ape Fei continued to show his open heart.
"I remember, it was Konoha who attacked the Uchiha clan first, right?" Itachi sneered in his heart, if it weren't for your apue fly's tacit connivance, how could Danzang have the courage to attack the Uchiha clan. Besides, when you were in the shadows, you carrots and sticks, beating and pulling, demanding absolute loyalty to Konoha, why did you selectively forget so quickly?
"That's Tuan Zang's unauthorized actions." Ape Fei's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he splashed all the dirty water on Tuan Zang's head. Attacking the Uchiha, Sarufei did not clearly express his approval or opposition, so he could explain it however he wanted.
"Sarutobi, you're the Hokage, and I didn't see you take any action when Danzo acted on your own."
“······” Ape Fei was silent and did not continue to say anything. The weasel in front of him, don't look at his young age, in front of him, there is no show of weakness at all. The young eagles have grown up, and it is not so easy to catch them again.
"The grievances and grievances between Uchiha and Konoha are simply unnecessary to continue to make trouble, you say, what do you want to get by coming to Konoha this time?" After a long time, Ape Fei slowly spoke, and finally cut to the topic.
Danzo and True Red failed in their provocation, and Itachi came to Konoha in person, according to the rules of the ninja world, he always had to pay something on the surface to satisfy the other party's sense of victory.
"Return the Uchiha's clan land."
"No, it's been redeveloped."
"Rebuild the shrine in Uchiha."
"No, the Uchiha clan has already left Konoha, and there is no reason to keep the shrine any longer."
"Then I want Orochimaru's research materials."
“······” Ape Fei squinted his eyes and stared at Itachi, his mind turning a thousand times. He has already rejected the first two demands, and if he continues to refuse, there will be no point in this meeting. However, what is the purpose of Itachi asking for Orochimaru's research materials?
Orochimaru is one of the top science maniacs in the ninja world, and few people can study the research he has done thoroughly. A lot of research needs human data as support, but after Orochimaru defected to Konoha, human experiments became a forbidden area, and no one dared to touch it. Ironically, the Yamato produced by human experiments, Konoha is now extremely important.
On the one hand, he criticizes Orochimaru, and on the other hand, he enjoys the research results of Orochimaru with peace of mind, and Konoha is really inconsistent. Unfortunately, without the scientist Orochimaru, Konoha has been stagnant in ninjutsu research for many years. A lot of the experimental materials left by Orochimaru are piled up in the secret warehouse of the dark department, and they are of little use.
There is a treasure trove, but there is no talent for development. Sometimes, a village, a family, really needs the appearance of genius.
"Some of the research materials, Konoha can give you a copy." Ape Fei groaned, and suddenly remembered that there was a part of the research data, the data was very primitive, and it required a lot of human experiments to verify. Since Itachi wants to study, let's take it and study it, and see how you find so many test subjects!
Human experiments, in the eyes of most ninjas, still seem extremely evil and unethical, this is a sword that can hurt itself. What genius leaves behind, perhaps, only another genius can decipher. Sarufei thought to himself that if Itachi became like Orochimaru, it would be interesting.
