"Can you give an example?"

It's an abstract question, but intuitively, I feel that it's a rather dangerous one.

If you don't generalize about specific things, it's easy for people to do the wrong thing. Zuosuke was still so young, he felt that it was best not to give a casual answer.

"Hmmm......"

While Sasuke looked up and picked his chin in thought, Yoshito quietly picked up the orange juice and drank it, neutralizing the sourness with the excessive saltiness in the omelette.

"I think of one."

Zuo clapped his hands reluctantly.

"For example, in the last movie I watched, the huntress played by Fuji Kazeyukie knew that the renegade would kill everyone in that village, so she went to warn her. But none of the villagers believed her, and time was short, so in order to force these people away, she set fire to their fields and expelled them. ”

Sasuke said, "Arson is a small disaster, and the killing of all the people in the village is a big disaster. It should be feasible to create a small disaster in order to avoid a big disaster, right? ”

"What you just said is that it is 'possible' to avoid a bigger catastrophe. But in the example you gave, a great catastrophe is inevitable, and the huntress knows this very well. ”

Yi Yong blinked.

"But if the rebellion can come or not, her fire will cause this village to have no food for the winter. If everyone starves to death, this small disaster will become a big disaster itself. ”

Thinking of the current appearance of the Land of Rain, Yi Yong added, "These people did not starve to death, maybe they will become bandits, and then rob other people's food, the scale of the disaster will be even greater." ”

“…… yes. ”

Zuo Zhu said with some distress: "But she did this out of good intentions." ”

"You can't die...... It's hard to come back to life. ”

Yi Yong emphasized, "When people are dead, what is the use of good intentions. Since people cannot predict the future, they should not act casually. ”

But people who are too arrogant will regard the scenes they imagine as the real future......

"That's right."

Zuo Zhu pursed his mouth, touched his cheek and pondered for a while: "Then I can't think of a more appropriate example." I can't figure out why my brother would ask me such a question......"

Yi Yong didn't speak.

But speaking of examples......

For example, when he first saw Youdouzi, she had already become a ghost. Although she has not eaten people yet, as long as Yiyong kills her, he can ensure that no one will be eaten by her in the future.

But when he saw her standing up to protect Tanjiro, Yoshiyo still hesitated.

He couldn't do it after all, and he would die when he wasn't sure if a ghost would kill someone. Punishing the other person for what others didn't do is not only arrogant, but also too domineering.

The two brothers were silent for a while, and then the paper door on the opposite side opened.

"Brother......

When Sasuke turned his head in surprise and saw those eyes surrounded by heavy black, he almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

"Left Help, Volunteer ......"

Itachi Uchiha greeted the two of them weakly as if he hadn't eaten in days.

"Brother!"

Zuosuke quickly got up and helped his arm, "What's wrong with you?!" ”

"Nothing. Can I sit here? ”

Although he was asking the two of them, his sunken eyes were staring at Yiyong.

Until now, he still can't figure out Yiyong's attitude towards him.

The latter nodded calmly, and moved the tray behind him, making way for a place, and the Uchiha Itachi sat down.

Yi Yong looked carefully and found that he had not seen it all night, and there was even a small handful of white hair on the left forehead of the ferret.

Although Yi Yong had expected it, the root of Konoha used such an extreme scene as the sacrifice of his comrades to deceive Itachi, and the blow to his spirit was still too great.

As for his own psychological impact on the Itachi, Yi Yong has no concept at all.

[It seems that it will not work if you don't solve the problem of the ferret first......]

"Sorry for eavesdropping......

"But the answer to this question, I thought it would be easy to do, but at least it would be easy to choose. But after the events of the past few days, I am not sure. ”

The sudden collapse of trust made Itachi begin to question every thought he had formed during this time.

"Since you talked about that day, then I will take this opportunity to tell you what happened that day directly."

Yoshiyong and Sasuke sat upright, like two slightly different replicas, quietly listening to Itachi's description.

The day before training shuriken with Sasuke, Itachi received a mission to kill a pair of grandchildren in Taki Shinobu Village.

They are quite traditional ninjas, and the family ninjutsu is passed down from generation to generation, which is considered a kind of secret art.

According to Konoha research, this ninjutsu is able to control the fungal communities under the trees to connect into patches, allowing for ultra-long-range surveillance activities, and even sentient ninjas cannot detect the location of these fungi.

When the two villages were not yet allied, Taki Shinobu used this ninjutsu to find the specific location of the original Hokage in the forest of the Fire Country, and cooperated with the Earth Country and organized an assassination. Although the assassination ended in failure, once it succeeded, the first generation died, and the ninja war broke out that year.

In order to prevent something like this from happening again in the future, the Root Organization sent Uchiha Itachi to completely interrupt the inheritance of this secret art.

But Uchiha Itachi followed the clues to find an old man who didn't even have much chakra left, and a nine-year-old kid whose shuriken skills were not as good as Sasuke's.

It was the first time Itachi had assassinated such a character who had no power to resist, and he had strong doubts about the task he was performing, and with a sense of guilt and shame at the same time, he was in a trance from time to time, and was almost injured by Sasuke's shuriken.

"But this time...... I guess I didn't do anything. ”

Sasuke didn't want to blame Itachi, but he still felt wronged by the pair of grandchildren at a young age. Just because this ninjutsu may threaten Konoha in the future, killing them seems to be too arrogant.

Especially when Takikure Village is still an ally of Konoha .

Seeing that Itachi didn't speak, he went to Yiyong for support, but Yiyong lowered his eyelids and his expression looked quite heavy.

After a long time, Yiyong spoke slowly, but he directly said something else.

"I went to the Land of Rain this time, and I heard that Konoha once helped Sanshoyu Hanzo to eradicate an organization that tried to settle the hatred of great powers by peaceful means. It's still the leader of this root who starts with it, and I guess it's for a similar reason, to protect Konoha and protect peace......"

He continued, "It seems that right now, the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire seem to be in peace. But as far as I know, since that incident, the people of the Land of Rain can no longer trust Hanzo, and various rebel groups have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the whole country is in chaos.

"Their enemies are not only Hanzo, but also all the great ninjas. Just wait for the day Hanzo dies, and the hatred of the Land of Rain and other great powers may be put on the bright side, and a new conflict will erupt......

"Your so-called 'small disasters', using this arrogant and domineering way to eradicate threats, are not at all avoiding big disasters, but creating them with your own hands."

Yiyong and Itachi looked at each other seemingly calmly, but the words were like a sharp knife into the latter's heart.

Rain Country and his party, he has deeply understood that ninjas don't consider the issues of morality, good and evil, so this time he didn't mention this issue at all.

"Man is not a god and cannot predict the future.

"Your assassination of that pair of grandparents can succeed or fail, and once the failure is exposed, there will be a rift in the relationship between the allies. At that time, what you avoid will appear in advance.

"The catastrophe you are trying to avoid, the illusion that could have been. But the disaster you have created with your own hands is a bloody reality, and it is difficult to judge the effect and result.

"Instead of doing such superfluous things, it is better to think about what to do if that 'big disaster' really comes."

When the Demon Slayer learned that once Onimai Tsuji no Miserable got your beans, it was very likely that he would overcome the sun, did everyone choose to kill You Beans just to be on the safe side?

No.

On the contrary, the lord chose to let the team members cultivate in a group to increase their strength, united all the allies who could be won over by Zhu Shi and others, and prepared to deal with him.

When it was necessary to infuse Onimai Tsuji with the poison that Miss Zhuyo had configured, it was the lord who sacrificed himself and his family to detonate the headquarters of the Oni Slayer when it was defenseless, creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Despicable means can only create a despicable peace, and when the day is exposed, the postponed turmoil will intensify."

Some of these words were beyond the scope of Sasuke's comprehension, and he looked at the two of them a little restlessly, for fear that there would be some disagreement between them, and he didn't know who to speak to.

"Itachi, don't continue while you haven't joined the shadows yet."

This is the first time that Yiyong has taken the initiative to ask Itachi to do something, "It's really disgusting that even human sacrifice and will can be used as a conspiracy organization." ”

"But, I ...... Promised my father. ”

Itachi shook his head, "I might be able to sneak in and earn that person's trust and know the truth about it." ”

This is a pure dumb riddle for Zuosuke.

But Yoshiyong knew that Itachi was talking about the real cause of Uchiha Yanhuo and Wen's death. When they came back this time, the three of them had already regarded the Shimura Tunzo, who was very deep, as a key suspect target and clue. But this person lives in seclusion, and under normal circumstances, they can't even see each other......

"And then, in order to gain trust, do you want to carry out tasks that you no longer agree with?"

Yi Yong's tone raised slightly, "What's more, that's something wrong at all." ”

"If you have to go......

Yi Yong glanced at the ceiling pointedly, "I'd rather see you in the hospital permanently." ”

This is a naked threat.

"So what should I do?"

When Itachi said this dejectedly, Sasuke was stunned. The brother who is usually so confident and calm shows such a helpless expression, which is as abnormal as the smile of the righteous hippie.

"Now, I don't know what to do right."

"Take a leave of absence, or go with Shisui to guard against the ninjas of the fog."

Yi Yong replied, "There is nothing wrong with defending your country from the enemy's scrutiny." ”

It will take at least three months to stop the water, and it can be extended as needed.

Itachi can stay away from this trustless place, or it can take advantage of the calming effect of the water breath to slowly restore its devastated mind.

"I see."

Itachi nodded, Yiyong was already half threatening and half pleading, and now that his mind was full of chaotic thoughts, he also felt that this seemed to be a good solution.

"I'll go right now and explain the situation to my father and Hokage-sama, Shisui should help me. But tomorrow morning, the patrol will set off for the Land of Water......"

Itachi looked at Sasuke, who was gradually coming to his senses, with some hesitation, "If they all agree to my request, I won't be able to attend your opening ceremony." ”

"I'm sorry, Zuosuke, Yi Yong."

He buried his head slightly, "Please forgive me about this." When you start school next year, I'll make up for this absence. ”

Looking at his brother's appearance of being seriously ill, even if Zuo Suke was unwilling, he couldn't say anything, and finally nodded in disappointment.

A few hours later.

Downstairs, my father's angry rebuke finally stopped.

Itachi became a spy in the shadows, it was the clan's plan, but now he fell short at the moment before he was about to succeed, he really couldn't accept it, even if it was to stop the water persuasion, the effect was minimal (or even counterproductive).

But at the prompting of Uchiha Mikoto, after discovering a strand of white hair hidden behind Itachi's forehead, Fugaku suddenly woke up and remembered Itachi's current age.

Because this child has always been too precocious, he also takes this child's extraordinary patience too seriously.

Eventually, he agreed to Itachi's request with a displeased face. It's just that there are a few Shangninas in the clan, and he has to find a way to deal with it himself.

As for Shisui and Itachi, they have to go to the Hokage again to explain the situation.

"Yiyong, Zuosuke, are you all ready for tomorrow's things?"

The only one in the family who still has a reluctant smile is the only Uchiha Mikoto.

"Okay—that's it—"

Sasuke responded lazily like a deflated balloon, apparently unhappy that Itachi couldn't accompany him to the opening ceremony, and he was less motivated to go to school.

"Don't look like that! Aren't you happy that your mother will take you there tomorrow? ”

"Mom, then I don't look like any other child."

Sasuke puffed out his face.

"You're a child."

Uchiha Mikoto couldn't cry or laugh, poked his face down, and then changed his voice, "Besides, after preparing for so long, you should be looking forward to tomorrow's entrance exam!" ”

"Of course!"

Zuo Zhu really came to his senses, "I heard from the uncle of the garrison that even if I directly take the second-year exam, I can get excellent results!" ”

"Then you have to come on."

As she spoke, Maikoto's gaze turned to Yiyong, "Yiyong, you should be prepared." ”

"Hmm."

Yi Yong felt that he could even understand part of the second Hokage's water escape scroll, and the exam of a ninja school should be fine. After all, when you use Itachi's to speak, those in the scroll are all things at the upper ninja level......

But when Yoshiyoshi sat in the examination room the next day and saw the first question in the paper, which was actually the date of birth of the Hokage, he threw down his pen with a snap, and could only look at Naruto Uzumaki, who was also helpless.
