Chapter 16: Fooling the Uchiha Itachi
Hokage Rock.
The fourth Hokage has just taken office, and the current Hokage Rock still only has the stone statues of the first three Hokages.
The stone statue of the third Hokage is carved on the highest place, as if to imply that he is the strongest Hokage, and above it, an old and a young man overlook the village.
"That's what it is...... The village in the eyes of the Hokage? ”
Looking at Konoha Village from such a perspective for the first time and feeling his own insignificance, Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened, and his heart was deeply shocked.
Seeing that the child was not as calm as before, Ape Feiri smiled and stretched out his old palm, touched Itachi's black hair, and said calmly, "After seeing the whole picture of the village here, you should have a new idea, right?" ”
Uchiha Itachi nodded heavily, but his immature voice uttered a surging adverbial, "I want to protect such a peaceful village." ”
Hearing a satisfactory answer, Ape Feiri's dry heart can be described as full of joy. Uchiha Itachi's face looks more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Whenever I'm standing here, I think so. For the sake of the peace of the village, I am willing to give everything, even my own life. Ape Fei Ri looked at the village that had not changed for decades, and for a while, he also had the momentum of his youth.
What he said was true, for the sake of Konoha Village, he was indeed able to sacrifice.
It's just a pity......
Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked at the sad aura that Sarutobi was inadvertently revealed by the ninja world, and thought to himself, "Lord Miyome signed a peace treaty with Iwa Shinobi so that the village would no longer suffer from war." But the people of the village were unwilling to accept it, and even forced the third generation of Lord to step down and elect a new Hokage to replace him......"
If you want to talk about the two Hokages, Uchiha Itachi has a better impression of whom, there is no doubt that it is the three generations of Hokage.
One is the young fourth generation who sees him as air and uses the condition that he doesn't know what it is to blackmail his father.
The other is the three generations of benevolent people who gave their lives peacefully in the village and are still committed to ninja training after abdication.
Uchiha Itachi naturally prefers this third generation Hokage who can give him an answer.
After admiring the scene of Konoha for a while, Sarutobi lowered his head, looked at Uchiha Itachi deeply, and said kindly, "Itachi, just now, didn't you ask me what the meaning of war is?" That's my answer. ”
Sarutobi did not answer the question directly.
Itachi Uchiha knew the answer.
Looking at Itachi's suddenly realized expression, Sarutobi sighed in his heart that Itachi was still young but had a Hokage-like mind, and at the same time showed a kind expression, and said to Itachi Uchiha, "Itachi, I can feel that you are different from the other ninjas in the village. ”
Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly, his childish face full of determination, "I also want to protect the peace of the village like the three generations of adults." ”
Sarutobi shook his head and said to Itachi in a serious tone, "The war is almost over, and the village will not be invaded again in ten years." But there was chaos inside the village. ”
Sarutobi Hichisaki told Uchiha Itachi about the contradiction between Sarutobi and Hokage, and didn't care if he could understand it as a newly enrolled child.
After hearing Sarutobi's explanation, Uchiha Itachi understood everything.
It turns out that my family has always influenced the development of the village?
When the three generations were forced to abdicate, they originally wanted to become the Hokage and continue to maintain the policy of peace.
However, it was disrupted by our Uchiha clan and elected Echizen Flame as the fourth Hokage.
After Echizen Yan became the fourth generation Hokage, he quickly handed over several ninja positions to the Uchiha clan, and also opened the task to the Uchiha's upper ninja, causing the balance of the village to be broken!
You know, the Uchiha has the sweetness of the guard.
Compared to other ninjas, Uchiha's ninjas don't need to go to the Hokage Building to take on tasks at all, and they can support themselves by relying on their duties in the guard.
Now that the four generations of Hokage have opened up their missions to the Uchiha, isn't that just squeezing out the living space of other ninja clans?
Seeing Uchiha Itachi's face, a look of shock and anger flashed, Sarutobi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said in his heart, "This kid is so excited, is it because the Uchiha clan is so greedy?" ”
After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi sighed and said with a haggard expression, "We didn't have to think that Echizen Yan would become the Hokage. Before he could cultivate bonds, he was expelled from the power center of the village. ”
"Itachi, I know you're the son of the Uchiha patriarch. But I think that you, who dream of protecting the peace of the village, must be the inheritor of the will of fire. ”
"Flame often visits the Uchiha's clan land, I wonder if you can be a bridge between us?"
"It's okay if you don't agree, you're just a child, I can't bear to force you."
Ape Fei Ri said something that almost made people sneer.
Feeling the trust of Miyome, Uchiha Itachi felt as if a fire burned in his chest, and his shoulders became much heavier, but he felt more powerful in his body.
"Lord Sandaime, I am willing to give everything for the peace of the village." Uchiha Itachi learned from the ninja in the clan, and in the posture he had when he saw his father, he respectfully knelt down on one knee in the direction of Sarutobi Hizai, ostensibly showing that he would be loyal to Sarutobi Hizaki.
Receiving such a "subordinate" who had just entered the school, even Sarutobi was a little crying and laughing, and then said, "Sure enough, my vision is not wrong, Itachi, you have inherited the will of fire." ”
"Even though you're just starting school, it takes six years to graduate according to the normal process. But with Kakashi's precedent, as long as you learn the three-body technique as soon as possible, you will be able to graduate early. ”
In Sarutobi's opinion, Uchiha Itachi, who needs to go to the ninja school to take classes, will miss many meetings between Echizen and Uchiha.
Therefore, it is necessary to graduate as soon as possible and stay by the side of Uchiha Fugaku, so that the information can be transmitted in time.
If someone else asks Uchiha Itachi to do this, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome. After all, the reason why Kakashi Hachiki was able to graduate so quickly was due to the prestige of his father Konoha White Fang, and he did have the strength of a shinobi.
But Sarutobi Hichiza himself is the principal of the ninja school, what is the requirement for early graduation, isn't it up to him to have the final say?
On the way back to the clan land, Uchiha Itachi regained his previous calm and indifferent expression.
He glanced back at the Hokage Building, remembered the words of the third generation of Lord Fangcai, and silently clenched his fists.
I will be able to protect the peace of the village!
Uchiha Itachi, who had great ambitions, didn't know that his father was not in the clan land at this time, but stayed in the mansion of Kaku, Nara, and held a meeting with the other patriarchs.
