Seiichi looked at the small lake in the park and felt a little strange.

The familiar evening sunset, the familiar small lake pier.

Hiss.

Did you rob a certain plot that says it's key and it's not critical?

But when he looked at the weasel who hadn't said a decent word until now, it seemed that he didn't have the leisure time to care about those things for the time being

"Itachi, aren't you really going to say it?"

Itachi frowned, as if he was in a deep slump.

"There's no way for Brother Cheng to do this kind of thing, right?"

In Itachi's eyes, Brother Seiichi can't change the prejudices of others, and even he himself is deeply affected by such prejudices and suspicions.

What can you do except bear it?

Seiichi scratched his head: "Actually, your situation is not the same as I was then."

Itachi didn't speak, still looking autistic.

Seiichi also didn't know what to say.

After all, he was calculated, and he wasn't a guy to mess with.

With the isolated attitude he had at the beginning, no matter how much he revealed. It is possible to fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

Itachi thinks that even when he is facing the reprimand and exclusion of others, he just chooses to bear it silently.

In the end, he even locked himself at home alone, just living on the property left by his parents.

On the surface, it was he, the 'elder brother', who set such an example to Itachi.

It seems that the problem is still with Seiichi

But what to do?

With Itachi's current age, Seiichi can't tell him that those guys who calculate themselves are actually buried by themselves, right?

In Itachi's eyes, Seiichi didn't do anything.

But in fact, Seiichi did everything.

It's just that after doing all this, Seiichi doesn't want to tell this little guy who is already heavy enough.

Those who are too heavy on their minds often become cocooned and bound to themselves.

This is a trap that only 'geniuses' fall into, and the more talented the guy, the more unable to extricate themselves.

As the big snake said, everyone has different 'qualifications'.

Seiichi also has different expectations for his 'companions'.

It's different from the stupid guy like Obito who has to be led by someone.

With guys like Itachi and Kakashi, Seiichi doesn't want to interfere too much with their future.

The guy who arranges the fate of others without authorization is undoubtedly extremely arrogant.

Just like that Madara Uchiha, trying to determine the fate of everyone.

Naturally, in the end, it is the opposite of everyone.

Seiichi slowly spoke:

"Itachi, there are many things I can't tell you yet, and I hope you can keep a little more happiness in your childhood."

"Actually, I've done a lot of things, but you need to find out slowly. But I did make a mistake. ”

"I didn't expect you to be like this. Bullying. ”

Itachi shook his head: "They just don't want to listen to people, and they are not so malicious. ”

Alas.

"What should I say about you?"

Seiichi was also a little frustrated.

He thought that

After the four generations came to power, the Uchiha family befriended the four generations and took the lead in liquidating the root organization that was disliked by the major families, and the situation of the Uchiha clan should have changed for the better.

But now it seems that this kind of feedback is still too whimsical to appear in a short period of time

Whether it is the influence of the ancestors over the years, or the temperament of the Uchiha clan that is difficult to correct, it makes this problem of getting along extremely difficult.

"Brother Seiichi?"

"Huh?"

Itachi seemed to have finally regained a sense of familiarity in Seiichi, and finally looked up at his injured brother on the side.

"Do people really think of others as outliers just because they have different eyes?"

It's just that the question in his mouth made Seiichi feel embarrassed as always.

"That's a big question that's a little hard to answer, Itachi."

"You can always ask questions that represent some kind of roots, and it's no wonder that no one can teach you."

Seiichi sighed again, how old is this little ghost, why do you always think about this kind of question?

But the Itachi seemed to have no self-awareness, and hesitated: "Is this a very complicated problem? ”

In front of him, the elder brother raised his hand and rubbed his chin with the nail of his thumb.

"It's not that complicated, and at a superficial level, even the people's arguments can't be considered wrong."

Itachi's fingers clenched slightly.

"Because we are naturally strong, they are afraid?"

The smile on the corner of Chengyi's mouth was a little helpless, and he seemed to be a little sarcastic:

"You can understand that, but it doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Even though we are naturally strong, aren't we all friends from the same village as them? Companions are strong, they should be happy to think of you? ”

Itachi nodded, which he found incomprehensible.

Even if the Uchiha is naturally stronger, he may have a pair of eyes that are different from everyone, but we won't shoot at everyone?

We are companions! Why would you attack yourself for such a reason?

"That's what I'm talking about the 'root cause' problem, and it's incredibly complicated to explain. Fundamentally, this can even be said to be a kind of inferiority that is common to human beings. ”

"Inferior roots common to human beings?" Itachi blinked his big eyes with long eyelashes, not knowing why Brother Seiichi would suddenly withdraw from such a huge topic.

Seiichi was actually equally embarrassed, he propped up his hand behind his back and looked up at the sky slightly.

"Let's give you an example, Itachi."

"Between parents and clansmen, if you had to choose, who would you prefer to be close to?"

"Parents. But my father and mother said that I would take care of the people in the future."

"What about the people and the people in the village?"

Itachi was silent for a moment: "Clansmen, that's what Dad and Mom said. ”

"What about everyone in the village and the people of the Fire Nation outside the village?"

“.”

"What about the people of the Fire Nation and the people of other nations?"

Itachi fell silent in thought, but Seiichi continued to push forward with the question he had raised.

"If, at this time, aliens come, what will you choose?"

I don't know. But I seem to understand something."

Seiichi sat up straight and patted Itachi on the head with his free hand.

"That's the root of the problem, Itachi."

"People are more willing to be close to and protect people who are like themselves."

"When at home, the people are also outsiders; When they are in the clan, the people of the other clans become outsiders; When the scope reaches the village, those outside the village are aliens, and when they reach the country, they are divided into domestic and foreign countries. ”

"When it comes to the level of the whole world, in fact, why aren't everyone in this ninja world all companions?"

After all, in the end. Isn't the story of the ninja world a group of people teaming up to fight aliens?

"It's just that although this topic is about closeness and protection, what about the other party who has not been chosen?"

But the pattern of this story also fell in this place.

When the 'aliens', the really powerful and dangerous 'outsiders', are pushed out. Has the ninja world changed?

Even Seiichi himself is still confused.

"As opposed to intimacy. It is alienation and exclusion. ”

"Those guys who ostracize and bully you, maybe when they reach the age when they can go on missions with you, they will gradually find out that you are good and are willing to become friends with you."

"But at the end of the day, it's because you have a common enemy, and even if you're a monster with red eyes compared to someone who can actually kill him, it's their monster."

"Will help him. Even if it's a monster, it's a monster that benefits them. ”

He continued to answer Itachi's doubts, in fact, he also hoped that Itachi could find an answer to tell him.

"But it's a kind of nature to 'exclude' this kind of thing."

"A guy who doesn't have this kind of nature is also a crippled guy who can't even tell the difference between 'friend and foe', and he's also a kind of terrifying guy who seeks death and harms people."

"And if you can't even reject it, then even the basis of 'life' no longer exists."

Look for the 'usable' as the 'companion' and the 'harmful' as the 'other'.

The stories that have drawn together one faction to the other have been the leitmotif of the Ediacaran from ancient times to the present, from the birth of the first life of the Ediacaran period.

Even the human body, from a microscopic point of view, is not doing the same thing?

Seiichi's eyes became a little indifferent, and he just quietly ended:

"Humans. It's that bad. ”

After listening to Seiichi's 'example', Itachi felt that this was more than just an example.

"Really. Strict and sad conclusions. Brother Chengyi. ”

Itachi felt that his confusion had not dissipated in the slightest, but it seemed that it was because there were also people who were in the same obsession as him, or even deeper in obsession.

It's like he's found his kind again.

It's like those who think of him as a 'stranger' and come together to become a 'kind'.

Is there really no difference between me and them?

Itachi shook his head. This seems a little too far away.

"Brother Chengyi was at the beginning. How? ”

"Huh?"

"How did you get along so well with your seniors?"

"Me?"

Seiichi looked back on the one-year school time that was not long or short, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist and said:

"I'll be reasonable."

Not in good shape. But it's still two more, it's just going to be later than usual, sorry sorry.
