Chapter 2 The Ordinary Weasel
Before you know it, the ferret is already three years old.
During this period, the Third Shinobi War broke out. The Sand Hidden Village of the Land of the Wind was unwilling to accept the defeat of the Second Ninja World War, and the mysterious disappearance of the three generations of Wind Shadow gave the Sand Hidden Village an excuse to carry out, which then triggered the war of the entire ninja world.
Despite being in the midst of the war, the atmosphere in Konoha didn't seem so tense. There are three generations of Hokage Sarutobi in the base camp, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are dispatched and commanded on the front line, and the residents of Konoha firmly believe that the victory of the war will belong to Konoha Village.
It's a pity that at this time, Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shuomao has committed suicide. To be precise, in the year Itachi was born, Shuo Mao had already committed suicide.
Itachi is just more convinced that Shuo Shigeru died in Konoha's political conspiracy.
Shuo Mao's Qimu knife skills are superb, he has rich combat experience, and his tactical thinking is flexible and changeable. In the later stages of the Second Shinobi War, Shuo Mao achieved great feats and became as famous as the Three Ninjas. It is even rumored that other ninja villages are about to turn around and run away when they encounter Konoha White Fang while on a mission.
After the war, Shuo Mao did not take credit for himself, on the contrary, due to the scarcity of the Qimu family, Shuo Mao did not have the burden of traditional big families, and civilian ninjas and ninjas from small and medium-sized families were more willing to get close. Sakumo enjoyed great prestige in the middle and lower classes of Konoha and even became one of the candidates for the Hokage.
Challengers to order will always be suppressed by those who have existing interests. During this period, the first heir of the Konoha Hokage was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, who belonged to the Hokage lineage.
The inheritance of the Konoha Hokage has a convention, or it can be said to be an unspoken rule, that the successor of the Hokage is either a relative of the previous Hokage or a disciple of the previous Hokage. The three generations of Hokage Sarutobi must support his disciples, just like he said in public that "the heir of the Hokage must ensure the inheritance of the will of fire". According to Itachi's understanding, this means that the Hokage can only be selected from the Hokage's faction.
Unable to gain the support of those in power, Shuo Shige was ostracized by the Sannin faction, and even if Sannin did not have such an idea, those who supported Sannin would carry out similar actions.
History shows that the so-called "heroes" who rise among the people cannot win the support of those in power or wealthy families, and often die quickly. Civilians can give prestige to heroes, but when heroes need strength and sacrifice, the vast majority of civilians tend to choose silence.
Konoha's white fangs fell in this way with the acquiescence of the higher ranks and the silence of the majority, carrying the identity of a sinner, and not even having a decent funeral after death.
"Politics, conspiracy, darkness, everywhere is inevitable", Itachi, it should be said that the former Zhang Hui has witnessed too much deceit, so he is more vigilant about things that look glorious, beautiful, and righteous.
For three years, Itachi carefully hid his true truth. Unlike many of Su Hui's geniuses, Itachi deliberately expresses his ordinariness.
Although the weasel is already able to speak, it will wait for children of the same age to speak, wait for children of the same age to start walking, and wait for children of the same age to start walking, and only when children in the clan can read······
In short, Itachi is not the first, but silently learns the knowledge of the ninja world when no one is around, and practices the seal over and over again.
Itachi understands that the creation of the genius of the Uchiha clan will give birth to the ambitions of the Uchiha clan. Now, Uchiha's ambitions are rippling because of Shisui's genius, and Itachi worries about Uchiha's fate.
In the same forest, the best-growing trees are always cut down first; For the same tree, the fruit that ritens first is always picked first.
In a world where strength is the supreme law of rules, it is dangerous to show talent until there is enough self-preservation.
People who make a fortune in a muffled voice and silently cultivate their strength often always have the last laugh.
The current weasel is showing its ordinariness in front of everyone.
The patriarch of the Uchiha clan gave birth to an ordinary son, which is the talk of the residents of Konoha after dinner.
"Compared to Itachi, it seems that Fugaku would prefer Shisui to be his son."
"No, compared to stopping water, the ferret is too ordinary"
"Compared to children of the same age, this weasel doesn't seem to stand out in any way"
······
In response to people's discussions, Itachi scoffed, "It's not prominent, it's just a rafter that I don't want to make a head."
It's just that some people are very depressed in their hearts, and the most depressed person is undoubtedly Fuyue. The position of the Uchiha patriarch was there, and compared to it, an ordinary Itachi seemed so abrupt, especially compared to the water stop of the same period, it was even more depressing.
Although Itachi never caused trouble to his parents like children in the same period, Fugaku really wanted Itachi to be a genius.
"Itachi, have you learned the seal of the fireball?"
In the face of Fuyue's ninjutsu teachings, he would have already known it, but Itachi would often delay for a while to show that he could learn it, and that time was almost the tipping point for Fuyue's patience.
"Itachi, do you remember the points of shuriken throwing?"
"Itachi, the refining points of Chakra, have you memorized it?"
······
In Fuyue's opinion, Itachi doesn't seem to have the talent of stopping water, but it's not too bad, it should be said that the qualifications are middle to high. Although the clan thought it was more worthwhile to cultivate the water, Fugaku did not stop teaching Itachi.
Outside of studying, Itachi spends most of his time reading the Uchiha clan's collection scrolls. I have to say that the Uchiha, as a Konoha giant, has an extremely rich collection. Itachi plans to thoroughly eat the scrolls of the clan before the age of five, especially the theory of ninjutsu.
Now, Itachi has not yet begun to cultivate chakra, but Itachi has mastered the method of cultivation. Many people think that the earlier the chakra is cultivated, the better, but Itachi has his own ideas. If the body is the vessel that holds the chakra, then the quality of the container determines the quality of the chakra to a certain extent. In view of this, Itachi has always exercised his body purposefully, and if nothing else, at the age of four, Itachi's body is the best time to start practicing chakra.
"Life is a marathon, the fastest person at the beginning is not necessarily the first to reach the finish, the key is the ability to surpass others and surpass oneself in the future", Itachi deeply understands this truth.
The more he understands this world, the more Itachi has a different understanding of the talented ninjas who graduated from ninja schools at a rocket-like rate.
For many ninja families, there are often unique family secret techniques, and there will always be one or two ninjas with good strength in the family. Before entering the ninja school, the elders of the family had already taught the knowledge of cultivation in advance, and even began to practice ninjutsu and physical arts. Those who are slightly talented already have preliminary strength before entering the ninja school, and they are more than a little stronger than civilian ninjas of the same age.
Kakashi was able to graduate from the ninja school at the age of five and become a shinobi, in addition to his own talent, Shuo Mao's enlightenment teachings are also very important. On a more subtle level, Itachi believes that the Konoha hierarchy wants to show Kakashi that Konoha will not discriminate against his descendants because of Sakumo's suicide by giving Kakashi great honor.
Thinking of this, Itachi sighed in his heart, "This may be part of the deal between Konoha and Shuo Mao. ”
