"Last year, I remember that many people in the clan did not participate, but this year they all came."

"When we are honored, we may have a lot of friends."

"But now because of some trumped-up charges, we are ostracized and isolated, and the only people who always stand by our side are our blood-related family members......"

……

Even more than the Uchiha Han and the others, when he found that the big guys at the entire banquet were in a low mood, Itachi directly stopped the geisha who were originally dancing on the stage.

He walked in front of everyone, stood on the stage, and emphasized a certain fact in a childish voice.

But when these words came out, everyone had a kind of ...... The illusion of self-soothing.

Present, except for Uchiha Aomon and others, people who already know Itachi's abilities,

The other unwitting clansmen also did not despise or ignore Uchiha Itachi's statement.

About Uchiha Itachi, everyone in the whole Uchiha knows,

Although it is said that news about his strength and ability is only circulated among the most core figures of Uchiha,

But to the rest of the clan, he is also quite famous.

The original reason, of course, was because Uchiha Itachi was the eldest son of the patriarch and went on the expedition with his father when he was young.

But the reason later was Uchiha Itachi's search and rescue operation on the night of the Nine-Tails.

In that search and rescue, Itachi did not show any special strength.

But he was calm and mature from beginning to end, and the appearance of leading a group of half-big ninjas and ordinary people to search and rescue in the clan land, as well as arranging accommodation for some of the clansmen in great need afterwards, left a great impression on the hearts of the clansmen.

Not the impression of being strong and capable,

But at a young age, he already had the demeanor of a patriarch, and he had the impression of being responsible and courageous.

Whether or not it was instructed by the patriarch, the child's behavior that night was respectable.

So now Uchiha Itachi stood on the stage and said to the people below, and no one paid attention to it because he was a child.

But attaching importance to this statement makes them feel desolate.

And in fact, it is indeed self-soothing.

No matter what excuse you use to excuse yourself, no matter what reason you justify, you will be kicked out of the Konoha Center, isolated by other families, and misunderstood by the Konoha higher-ups...... These are all facts.

Itachi knew very well that the gap between just one year was too great for anyone to accept.

Not to mention, just a sentence or two to make them feel good.

So he said this now, not so much to comfort them, but to dig deeper into the wound, to expose the flesh inside, and to dig out all the flesh that was rotten and useless, with kindness and anticipation for Konoha!

A year ago, Itachi wanted everyone to be more closely related to Konoha,

In this way, Uchiha Teru and they will not stand on the same path of rebellion as their fathers,

On the contrary, everyone can hold the same purpose, stand on the same standpoint, and integrate into Konoha together.

At that time, thinking from Konoha's standpoint and treating Konoha as a family was undoubtedly a good thing, which could prompt Uchiha to become a member of the Konoha collective, like other families, and abandon the small family and become everyone.

Today, the situation is different.

Continuing to keep that attachment to Konoha and continuing to treat Konoha as home will only make those 'family members' in Konoha hurt themselves and others even more.

If you want to continue to survive, you have to recognize your position, and you have to recognize the concept that Konoha is no longer family.

Nowadays, no matter whether it is a small family or everyone, the Uchiha is the clansmen who are connected by blood, the real 'home'!

Regarding these thoughts, Itachi had the perspective of a bystander from the beginning, and he didn't have too many partners in Konoha, so it was easy to jump out, and even quickly made a plan to harm Konoha's interests.

Others don't......

At least those who, like Uchiha Teru and others, have friends and comrades-in-arms among Konoha and have experienced good memories together It is difficult for them to let go of their emotions.

History has always told the fact that although the people of Uchiha are arrogant, once they recognize someone, they will value this friendship more than ordinary people, and even ...... Abandon the position that should be chosen from an intellectual point of view.

And the only way to solve this problem is to bind them with stronger emotions.

Itachi is now taking this opportunity to emphasize the concept of family and connect everyone with blood.

And, in a suggestive tone, he opposes the collective concept that the village has always created, and connects people with ideas.

People who are connected by thought are stronger without blood ties!

At least, that's how Konoha is.

In this way, a first-year feast ended in silence and desolation after only half a day.

You must know that at the full moon banquet last year, half a day was not enough to even seat the guests!

And because the mood of the clansmen is not high, even the original link of grasping Zhou was unconsciously omitted.

At the end of the banquet, the father and mother arranged for them to leave the venue, and Itachi took Zuosuke home first, and beside him, he was followed by a few friends who had been close to each other over the years.

"Being here means you're the happiest little guy."

On the way home, Uchiha Rin stretched out his finger and flicked Sasuke's cheek lightly, and after receiving his smiling response, his irritable heart unconsciously soothed a little, "I found a problem, obviously Xiao Sasuke is the protagonist of these two banquets, but it seems that every time, it is in his name that he is doing something else." ”

"That's true."

Itachi hugged Zuosuke in his arms, "The meaning of the existence of this kind of banquet may be mostly just to communicate in the name of children." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at his brother in his arms.

At this time, Zuo Suke was speaking 'baby language' in a blurred voice, mixed with some commonly used and understandable words such as 'brother and sister' and 'I'm hungry'.

Can children at this age know what a full moon party is and what a first birthday party is?

Of course not.

"Speaking of which, Itachi, are you leaving the village tomorrow?"

On the other side, Uchiha Hui suddenly spoke, his tone a little dull, "Follow...... Ape flying and slashing together? ”

As the son of Uchiha Aomon, and he has awakened the three hooks of the jade writing wheel, he has obtained a lot of information.

“…… Huh! ”

"Wait, this point in time!"

"Itachi, the ninja school is about to start, won't you come with us?"

……

Suddenly, everyone next to him stopped and looked at Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi wants to leave the village with the three generations of Hokage apes and flying sun?

Rin Uchiha and others who have become ninjas all have gloomy faces.

And Uchiha Han and others who were still at the ninja school only noticed that Itachi was leaving the village.

"Yes."

Itachi nodded, he didn't hide it, anyway, this matter is not a secret mission, "The third Hokage plans to go to Kyoto City to meet the daimyo and get the letter of appointment for the Hokage's position. ”

"And he heard that I have a good relationship with the second son of the daimyo, that is, Sakamoto Yusheng, whom we met before, so he plans to take me with him."

"During this time I am away, I hope you can talk to Zuo Zhu more when you are free."

"At his age, you have to speak in his ear to learn to speak quickly, and my parents will welcome you."

As for the more specific, temptation, temptation...... He didn't speak.

If there was only Hui and Zen present, he would probably open his mouth to explain a thing or two.

But now, with a few Uchiha Rin next to him, it is inconvenient for him to speak.

In particular, the Uchiha Han's few children who are still attending the ninja school are a little too early for them to come into contact with these.
