Chapter 187: The Sunshine Hidden at the Bottom of the Lake (Part II)
"Yes, Biwako-sama—I'll try."
Baihua, who didn't know what to say, said in a hurry, this is because she originally planned to come over and kill, after all, Kaguya's murderous appearance when she came didn't look like she was planning to talk peacefully. didn't expect that after he came in, his painting style changed abruptly, and he was decisive and turned out to be like this, and Baihua felt a little nervous inexplicably.
At this time, Kaguya, who was on the side, spoke, "The kindness of Lord Biwako is very touching, and to be honest, if the attitude of the top management was like this in the beginning, why did we get to where we are now? The Konoha ninjas, who were originally from the same origin, actually fought each other, were suspicious, and even did not hesitate to send someone to intercept and kill the Uchiha halfway, the corpses were destroyed, and the eyes were brutally gouged out, just thinking about it is unbearable."
Lake Biwa sighed when he heard this.
"Danzo...... Acting too extremely, I have advised the third generation not to be too indulgent to him, but both of them are deeply influenced by the purpose of the second generation, and the prejudice against the Uchiha has been there since childhood. I grew up with the third generation as childhood sweethearts, so I know better than anyone how much they worship the second and first generations."
"In a sense, the so-called high-level in your mouth is actually two hero-worshipping imps who have grown up and failed to distinguish between the important and the important, coupled with the targeted policies of the middle and late stages of the second generation of adults, which has aggravated their suspicion and exclusion of the Uchiha."
Kaguya raised an eyebrow and didn't interrupt.
Lake Biwa slowly got up and walked to the window, and said with a sad and reminiscent expression on his face, "Actually, when Konoha was first founded, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were the two pillars of heaven in the village. Although there are not many people on the streets, everyone has their own job, and although it is very hard, everyone's face is full of anticipation and longing for the future - whether it is a thousand-armed family or a ...... Uchiha."
"It was also at that time that the third generation and the group came into the vision of the first and second generations, and unlike the cold attitude of the second generation, the first generation of Lord was full of sunlight that could dispel the gloom in everyone's hearts, no matter how dangerous and fearful things were, as long as you thought of the presence of the first generation, then everything didn't matter."
"This longing and admiration that comes from the heart has also created the fact that the three generations and the early Danzou were all fanatical believers of the first generation. But as the saying goes, the more longing there is, the more fanatical it becomes, and when this faith is shattered, this fanaticism will turn into a painstaking memory. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad."
Kaguya spoke, "Because of that overzealous longing, after the battle between Madara Uchiha and the first Hokage, although Madara died there, the first Hokage didn't live long, and died of illness in about a year. If that's all there is to it, then why do the three generations and Danzou hate the Uchiha so much, don't forget that Madara is dead."
"Yes, he's dead, but what he did won't go away - the man with the Uchiha surname, killed the first Hokage."
Lake Biwa lamented, "I am an old man who came from that time, and I am now dying, but I still can't forget it. When I heard the news of the death of the first adult, my shock, my fear, it was as if the sky had fallen, and the god in my heart had fallen. It was so unbelievable that I didn't know what I was doing for a while, but I was dressed in black by my crying family and taken to the funeral."
"There I saw Danzo crying into a puddle of mud, and I also saw the three generations who were also sluggish with me."
"And...... The frosty and murderous Lord of the Second Generation."
"The people of the Uchiha clan didn't come that day, not because they didn't come, but because they were blocked out by the orders of the second generation of the eye. In retrospect, it must have been that time, the death of the first lord reminded the second lord of what happened before, and his brothers all died at the hands of the Uchiha like this, and it was the second lord who buried them with his own hands."
"Now that Konoha is the protector of God, Nidaime-sama has also lost his last relative, so the anger and remorse in his heart should be far greater than everyone else. This also prompted him to inherit the power of the Hokage, which was both venting, anger, and hatred, depriving the Uchiha clan of almost all privileges, seemingly giving it to him
In fact, the second generation of adults knows better than anyone else the rights of our garrison......
Kaguya interjected, "I know better than anyone that with the character of the Uchiha, they will offend everyone sooner or later, and when the Uchiha accidentally step on the wrong foot one day, the second Hokage will use the excuse to crusade and even annihilate the entire Uchiha clan in turn...... It is also famous. The second Hokage knows the temperament of the Uchiha family better than anyone else, so he has been looking forward to this day from the beginning, looking forward to it...... The day our Uchiha rebelled."
Lake Biwa looked at Kaguya with sad and helpless eyes, neither affirming nor denying.
In fact, Lake Biwa doesn't know what the mood of the second generation was like back then, but it's certain...... He was angry, sad, and there were endless tears streaming down his distorted face, it was the first time he had seen the cold-faced and ruthless second-generation adults so fragile and pitiful, and now he thought back to that day...... Probably it's not just the three generations and the Danzang faith that collapsed.
At this point, Kaguya got up and walked to the other side of the window, looking out the window at the darkness and the street lamps on the side of the street.
Kaguya said surgingly: "What happened next is very simple, the second generation is full of resentment, he deliberately dug a hole for the Uchiha, showing that it is trust, in fact, he knows better than anyone that the Uchiha will make a big mistake sooner or later, and when the time comes, the crusade against the Uchiha can not only eliminate the unrest in the village, but also avenge his dead brothers, it is really both public and private, and he is ruthless."
"But what he didn't expect was that the first generation died, and the most fragile thread that maintained the balance of the ninja world was broken, and the outbreak of the first ninja war almost exhausted all his mental strength, and even he was buried in that war. However, despite the death of the second generation, the third generation and Danzo, who inherited his will, survived, and adhered to the policy of the second generation against the Uchiha, and continued to use high pressure and persecution."
"I've always been mistaken for Danzou and Miyo to be the culprits who wanted to kill the Uchiha, but now I understand a little. In fact, everything we have experienced at this time is derived from the old hatred of the original Thousand Hands vs Uchiha, and as long as there are old people of that era who have not given up this hatred, then this hatred will continue forever."
"The second generation, the third generation, and the group are all puppets manipulated by this continued hatred, do you want to say that? Lake Biwa-sama."
But you're also ignoring one person, the shadow of the past who is hiding underground, plotting to resurrect him.
Lake Biwa looked out the window at the scenery, and she said in a calm tone, "The hatred of the past will bring countless disasters to future generations - and now that the Uchiha has obtained what he dreamed of, Danzou is also dead, and Nidaime is also dead, for the sake of the old body so begging you, can you promise me to let this hatred end?"
At this time, Lake Biwa no longer talked to him, but said with Kaguya's eyes in his eyes.
"I'm already old with the three generations, and it's going to be difficult for us to do something about it, can you please spare the three generations and the Ape Fei clan and not kill them all?"
「…………」
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stiff, and the air seemed to be tense.
The aura hidden outside suddenly became very flustered, and some people even exposed the sound of their own breathing, making Baihua's face, who had long been aware of it, reveal a cold killing intent.
Kaguya looked at Lake Biwa's gaze, and the atmosphere between the two of them became tense in vain.
