Chapter 55: Itachi's Enlightenment

"Please remember your words today." Hinata Yuzuru spoke earnestly, and the gentle emotion in his eyes rarely didn't make Uchiha Itachi feel weird, with a power that warmed him.

Hinata Yuzuru stared at the Uchiha Itachi and said carefully: "If Brother Shisui wants to prevent you from becoming a ninja and thinks that that is the protection of you, I don't think so, and in this matter, I support your decision." ”

The Uchiha sighed and held his forehead with his hand, but he no longer persuaded him, just quietly listened to Hinata Yuzuru's reason.

"Just, remember...... Your eyes may deceive you into what you know to be true, or it may just be a lie crafted by someone else. ”

"Don't trust anyone, including me, and use all your feelings to find your own answers."

Uchiha Shisui frowned, and whispered a reminder that this answer might not be reliable: "Then how can you ensure that the answer you come up with is the correct answer?" ”

"Then you have to ask yourself what you really think in your heart, ask yourself what you really want."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at the Uchiha Itachi and asked softly, "Maybe we can put a little limit on this answer, so that once multiple answers come to mind, we can use it to discern what we want in the end." ”

"For example......"

He smiled, and in the barbecue restaurant, his voice was gentle and soft, and the crackling sound caused by the charcoal fire dripping with barbecue fat reached the ears of the two of them as clearly as thunder in the rain.

"I hope that in the future, every child of Konoha will not have to think about the so-called family and village like us, and will not have to think about the problem of life and death on the battlefield like us."

"I hope that war can disappear, oppression can be resisted, and justice can destroy evil."

"I hope that one day, even people other than Konoha will be able to reap peace and happiness."

"Everyone has food, everyone has clothes to wear, and ninjutsu is no longer used to kill, but to improve lives and make everyone's life better."

"I hope to ........ someday in the future"

Even the Uchiha Shisui never imagined that the young man in front of him would have such a grand ambition, beyond the limitations of the family, not even limited to Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi was even more in a trance for a moment, at most he was thinking about why the clan and the village were quarrelling, why he was paying for his life for meaningless things, and Hinata Yuzuru's words seemed to throw a bigger mystery to him.

The so-called ideas of peace, freedom, and equality are very different from the 'will of fire' that the village preaches and emphasizes, and the 'family will' that the elders of the family talk about.

It's a much wider world.

"Of course, it's hard, and I don't think I can do it myself."

Hinata Yuzuru said frankly about his shortcomings, smiled, but his tone gradually became sharp: "But, only in such a beautiful future is there a need to work hard, isn't it?" ”

For a while, only the sizzling sound of the charcoal being contaminated with grease under the barbecue remained, Hinata Yuzuru picked up the chopsticks and took a piece, and the rescue was timely, and the taste was not bad.

He chuckled softly as he ate the meat nonchalantly, as if what he had just said was just a casual remark.

"What I just said is just a fantasy like a fantasy at the moment, but if you use it as a reference, it shouldn't be difficult to make the right choice, right?"

"And, like I said, never trust me, including what I say, and let yourself think for yourself to come up with the answer."

"Perhaps, everything I am saying now is a lie, just to gain your trust...... Itachi, with such doubts and a determination that no one will trust, let's embark on the path of ninja again. ”

Hinata Yuzuru's eyes under the frame couldn't see emotion, and even Shisui couldn't tell what he had just said at this moment, whether it was a heartfelt rhetoric and a beautiful hope for the future, or just casual talk.

But in any case, both Itachi and Shisui were shocked by this and fell into deep thought.

Especially the water stop, what touched him the most was in fact far from the ideal thrown by Hinata Yuzuru, but a wake-up call at the end.

'Don't trust anyone'.

Is the will of fire taught by the second generation the truth of the world?

Is Konoha Village, or indeed itself, really on the right path?

For the first time, Uchiha Shisui had some doubts and reflections on his beliefs and persistence, but he quickly pushed them away for the time being, he couldn't question his beliefs and ninja because of a word from others, even if reality reminded him over and over again that something was wrong, but he still thought that as long as he followed the path of the Will of Fire, everything would be back on track.

As long as you follow the will of fire, you will surely be able to bring a bright future to Konoha that Yuzuru said!

The three of them fell into silence, only Hinata Yuzuru ate diligently, and since neither of them had an appetite, he would not waste the rare barbecue.

The devil knows how long he will have to gnaw on dry food when he goes out on a mission this time.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi began to talk to him about the so-called 'ideals', trying to understand the future he depicted in more detail.

Hinata Yuzuru is not stage frightened, combined with the history and ideology and morality that he learned before the crossing, and gave them a deep understanding of it, combined with the current situation of Konoha to talk about his ideal Konoha, of course, there are reservations, just a shallow talk, but even so, whether it is from education or medical care, values or outlook on life, they are deeply shocked, and they can't calm down for a long time.

Of course, while talking, Hinata Yuzuru worked hard to cook, and he was bound to stuff all the meat that he couldn't eat for a while into his stomach and digest it slowly.

After eating a round stomach and giving full play to the amount of food of the physical ninja, Hinata Yuzuru was half-paralyzed on the chair, looked at the Uchiha Shisui, and smiled slightly: "Brother Shisui, settle the bill." ”

Uchiha came back to his senses, and subconsciously reached out to settle the bill.

The boss, who had been waiting for a long time, took out the bill with a smile on his face.

"Thanks to your patronage, 10,000 taels has already given you a fraction of the discount."

When did we order so many roasts?

Isn't this shop only a few hundred taels of meat per serving!?

Zhishui touched his stomach, and always felt as if he hadn't eaten enough.

Hinata Yuzuru just smiled faintly: "It's time to go on a mission, Shisui Senpai." ”

Uchiha Shisui stared blankly outside the house, and from the perspective of the sun's rays, he could tell the current time, it was already three or four hours before noon, as Hinata Yuzuru said, it was time to set off for the border.

This guy .....

Uchiha Shisui looked at Hinata Yuzuru and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What an amazing junior.

Whether it is from the point of view of thought, or the amount of food.

And the Uchiha Itachi didn't even touch a single chopstick.

He sat there in a daze, and in his mind, the blueprint of a beautiful world slowly unfolded in his mind, like a mirage, making him feel unreachable, illusory and unreal.

But......

Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips and looked at his friend, Hinata Yuzuru's quiet and gentle face, with a satisfied smile after eating and drinking.

Such a world, to me, is unattainable and unreal.

But he must have already had an idea, or rather, an idea early on, and is forging ahead on the right path.

Don't believe you...... Is it?

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head.

Then look with my eyes!

If the end of the road you're walking on is the future I hope for, then let's go side by side together....... Yuzuru!
