The two of them silently ate dry food, stared at the fire, and did not speak for a long time.

Sometimes, silence is also a form of communication.

"Woo woo woo ······" Zekai, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and was tied into a rice dumpling, whimpered in his mouth, as if to say, "Hungry, hungry, hungry······"

"Shut up!" Itachi stomped on his mouth, and the world fell silent.

"Do you want to consider joining Blazing Village?" Finally, Itachi asked, "Blazing Village is also a village in the Land of Fire. ”

"However, Blazing Hidden Village is also a village founded by the ninja family." Takumi met Itachi's gaze, and the two shook their heads with a wry smile.

"It's ironic to say that I was born in a ninja family, but I criticized the family system of Ninja Village, although I have gained a lot from my own family." Itachi clasped his hands together, propped his chin, and said, "If I didn't have the Uchiha bloodline, I wouldn't have come this far, but unlike other villages, I'm already committed to breaking the limitations of the family system. ”

"Oh, how did you do that?" Takumi straightened up, looking interested, "Let's hear it!" ”

"I have canceled the pattern of family settlement, and various ninja families and civilian ninjas live together." Itachi gestured as he spoke, "In addition, I have canceled the tradition of the Uchiha clan imprisoning the bloodline, and now, the Uchiha clan has begun to intermarry with people outside the clan······"

Itachi introduced slowly, and Takumi listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions. He needed to take the time to understand the deep meaning of the ferret, and at this time, he really realized that this friend beside him had been through so much on thin ice. People are often bound by past experiences, but Itachi has not surpassed the habits that Konoha added to him, and has established a new ninja village pattern.

In Blazing Hidden Village, the smallest unit of composition is a family, not a family. The extended family system, just like that, under the impetus of the ferrez, collapsed. The real power of each family loses the power of the family, and in exchange, they gain the power to enter the upper echelons of the village.

"The truly ideal ninja village is not the spectacular Hokage Rock, not the many bloodline limit families, nor how powerful the psychic beasts can be obtained, but whether they are high or low, regardless of their background, they can all have equal opportunities to advance." Itachi's words were like heavy drumsticks, and they rang in Takumi's heart. "Takumi, join Blazing Hidden Village, I may not be able to change the bloodline of the civilian ninjas, but I promise you that I will definitely work hard to improve the system of the village and create more opportunities for the civilian ninjas. I don't just judge a person or a ninja by ninjutsu, my goal is to make everyone in the village fully developed, even if the direction of his development is not to become a ninja. ”

Looking at Itachi in a daze, Takumi's mind turned back and forth, and he didn't speak for a long time. Zekai on the ground wanted to say, "Let me join, let me join!" "It's just that the ferret's foot is on his mouth, and he can't open his mouth at all.

At this time, all kinds of thoughts flowed in Takumi's heart. He admits that what Itachi said is the truth, a ninja from a civilian background, it is difficult to get ahead in Konoha, and even if he becomes a shinobi, he still advances to the real power class, and can only continue to carry out tasks. "Fight to the death for the village, and after the will of fire burns, new leaves will grow!"

The village is prosperous, and the ninja is bitter; The village is in danger, and the ninja is bitter. "Your power is infinite, and history was created by you!" He still remembered the speeches he had listened to when he was a child, and the Hokage Sarutobi encouraged them like this, and at that time, his heart was boiling with blood and he was eager to dedicate his strength to the creation of history.

When he grew up, he realized that in every period of history of turbulent conditions, the people above enjoyed the history, and only verbally said some beautiful words of comfort, and the people below threw their heads and spilled their blood.

Ordinary people make history, and big people enjoy it. When the big man enjoyed power, where did he remember Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi, who had created history for him. The number of people who died, the number of people who died, but it was just a number of renovations, but it was just another monument to the mourning garden. What's more, many people can't even hope to add a monument to the mourning garden.

Hachiki Shuo Mao couldn't be buried in the mourning garden, let alone so many nameless ninjas. The monument was erected, but their names could be found on it, with the phrase "The people who died for the village will always live in our hearts!" And so he sent them away. So many people died, who lives in our hearts. What a living person can remember is a specific person, his name, his appearance, his family, not an abstract "person who sacrificed for the village".

"When I was a child, I was looking forward to growing up quickly, but when I grew up, I found that the world is not so beautiful, and I need to constantly struggle to live a better life." Takumi waved away a somewhat depressed mood, Takuyuki is her sister, living in Blazing Hidden Village, if he returns to Konoha, he is afraid that he will live under the surveillance of the shadows, or be sent to Blazing Hidden Village to become a spy.

"It's not a good world, so that's why we have to struggle and want it to be a better place. Perhaps it is precisely because human beings have never given up struggling that human beings can create infinite beauty! Itachi replied.

"Sometimes, I feel scared, afraid that I will become a simple casualty figure and no one will be able to remember me."

"Behind the successes, there are countless losers. It's just that people are more willing to see the glory of the successful, and only then can they feel hope. I think we should also respect the losers, who are really trying to make history. Blazing Hidden Village, a personal file has been made for each resident, and if someone sacrifices for the village, at least, there will be his exact name on the monument. I don't know how far I can go, but I'll try to do it. ”

······

The two talked casually, rambling, sometimes sighing, sometimes sad, sometimes cynical, sometimes returning to reality.

Time passed quickly, the sky gradually brightened, and a faint ray of sunlight poured in, and the rising sun broke through the barrier of the night and rolled onto the distant horizon of the desert.

"The morning sun in the desert is so beautiful!" Takumi looked into the distance.

"Because it's the newborn sun!" Itachi stepped forward and stood side by side with Takumi to enjoy the spectacular desert sunrise.

Takumi smiled, took out the ninja's forehead guard from his arms, looked at it for a long time, and stroked it gently. This forehead guard has been with him for many years. In the ninja war, there was a shortage of troops, and he became a shinobi before he was ten years old, and he was now twenty-two years old.

"I didn't expect that I would become a traitor one day." He solemnly buried his forehead guard in the soil, stood up, and half-jokingly.

"The country is higher than the village, and we are the ninjas of the land of fire." Itachi held out his hand.

"yes!" Takumi's hand slapped on Itachi's palm, and his eyes became firm, "We are ninjas of the Fire Country!" ”
