Chapter 147: [Meritorious Achievement]
Artoria comes at a time of British decline, not prosperity.
What she is facing is the outside world where jackals after jackals are constantly gnawing at her kingdom, as a defensive side.
And it is almost impossible to take the initiative to provoke a war, let alone attack the outside world, others do not carry out a continuous crusade against Britain, and it is a great luck to be able to give a breather!
Artoria has always been on the side of the victims of war, not as the side of profit.
Therefore, she has always maintained an attitude of opposition to what Itachi did before.
Let's not mention what happens after this is successful, just talking about the process, the people of Konoha, the people of Yunyin, and even some ordinary people in the Land of Fire and some ordinary people in the Land of Thunder...... Many, many people will be tormented by the war as a result.
This is a great sin!
And from the perspective of the overall ninja world alone, Uchiha Itachi's behavior is undoubtedly selfish!
It's as a troublemaker!
"But if I don't move, the Uchiha will always be trapped in Konoha!"
The Uchiha Itachi sighed in the same way, refocused his gaze in front of him, and looked at Artoria, "They will drive the Uchiha to meet the enemy, and at the same time, they will be afraid of the Uchiha's growth. ”
"Until one day, when the Uchiha, the Menghu, can no longer be controlled, and the people of Konoha have time to spare, hundreds of people of my clan will be wiped out of the history of the ninja world!"
"For the sake of justice, I can't do the mercy of cutting meat to feed the eagle and sacrificing my life to feed the tiger, not to mention that the people standing next to me are my closest family and friends, and I can't make this decision for them!"
Speaking of this, he paused, and his eyes gradually became serious, "Even if the result is failure and destruction, I will bear everything and willingly admit the sins I have committed." ”
"In terms of the ninja world, what I did was a sin, but if I succeeded in the family, then at least the Uchiha would not be restrained anymore, and every time he grows, he will have to hide himself because he cares about Konoha's face."
"There are some things that must be done if the family wants to grow, and at the moment, I am the one who is most sure to get it done, although to say that, there is a bit of arrogance."
His tone was firm and resolute.
Of course, Uchiha Itachi knew what would happen to the ninja world if everything failed.
The Uchiha may not be much of a problem to Konoha as far as Konoha is concerned.
Even the people of the clan may not necessarily be as good as Shimura Danzo in the heart of the ape flying sun.
Because of this, Konoha wants to eradicate the Uchiha force from the village, and they think that what Konoha has gained from the Uchiha clan is better than losing.
And in terms of the population of the Fire Country, the hundreds of Uchiha people are nothing, just like small fish in the sea, insignificant.
But the Uchiha, the blood family, is different from the ordinary ninja family after all, and the power represented by the three words 'Uchiha' is different from the ninja world.
It represents prestige, it represents power!
The Uchiha is a tiger that can devour the Lord at any time to Konoha to the outside world, but to the outside world, Konoha with the Uchiha is like a cannon loaded with gunpowder!
Pulling a shot and moving the whole body, Konoha lost these gunpowders, and even the cannon is worn out in the process and needs time to repair, so ...... The people of the ninja world will not sit idly by and watch Konoha recuperate!
And at that time, if the overall situation in the country cannot be stabilized, what will happen to the ninja world?
Of course, there is chaos, and the people are struggling to make a living.
And it's not just the land of fire!
It is a matter of course that the flames of war can never be extinguished.
Nowadays, the relatively stable situation for ordinary people is actually a 'balance' created by the five major countries and even the five major ninja villages.
As once the number one powerhouse and now one of the five great powers, the Fire Nation is like one of the five Optimus Pillars, maintaining the overall situation of the entire ninja world.
If one of the pillars collapses, it's another thing to be able to sustain it, but if it can't, what will happen to the remaining four powers?
The remaining four great powers, after eliminating the country of Konoha and fire, continue to maintain the so-called 'balance',
Or directly use the fall of a great country as fuel, let the flames of war collapse, until the entire ninja world is brought back to the era of many clans decades ago, or even earlier, it is uncertain.
So Artoria says that what the ferret is going to do is sinful, and it is an unbearable sin.
For the survival of hundreds of people in the family, it is selfish to pull the entire ninja world into the water.
"Alas......"
Artoria and Itachi looked at each other for a long time, and in the face of the perseverance in his eyes, they never wavered, and could only sigh helplessly, "No matter what, I will witness everything about you, even if it is ...... Destruction, I will also be with you. ”
Itachi and everyone in the Uchiha are the sparks that rekindle her hope for 'life' in this world, and if even the familiar people are gone, there is no need for her to exist in this strange world.
However, there was one thing in these words that made Artoria unable to stop and persuade again.
That is the feeling of the sacrificial minority in the pursuit of the interests of the majority at the expense of the minority.
The position he is standing on now is that the few people who are about to be sacrificed, and in terms of the overall situation, the weasel who even says 'I can't do it myself' may be able to give up on myself and fulfill the majority.
But as Itachi said, neither he nor he can decide for the others around him.
It's ridiculous that my former self actually took this for granted.
The sacrifice of the few for the sake of the many is glorious and worthy of praise for them.
Even...... I still hope that those who have been sacrificed can understand me, but now that I think about it, it is a little too much to take for granted.
But in terms of the situation, those were decisions that I had to make at that time.
"People are always making choices on the road of life."
Artoria was so sad that even the fried meatballs in her mouth had no taste.
This feeling that the left side is the beloved and the right side is the dearest, and it is better to choose one than to die by yourself, which is really painful.
"There's no need to worry so much, since I've done it, I'm sure I'll be sure."
Itachi spoke softly, comforting her, "Intelligence is important for controlling the situation, but its own strength is also important. ”
"The Uchiha now has the power of two kaleidoscopes."
"As for me...... I believe that I will not be weaker than a kaleidoscope either, and as long as we continue to accumulate strength, we will be more confident and stabilize the situation at that time. ”
The stronger the Uchiha's own strength, in addition to making Konoha more scruples, there is also a plan to maintain the situation later.
What do you mean by that...... Didn't count me? ”
And Artoria didn't feel good at all because of Itachi's comfort, but frowned.
Itachi's calm expression froze, and his gaze moved down to the scroll in his hand, "...... I mean, you can be the hidden power of the Uchiha, and although you haven't officially fought your father yet, I feel that your strength is far superior to that of your father. ”
It's a fact.
But in fact, Itachi didn't take Artoria into account.
Originally, he thought that even after Artoria was materialized, she was just an ordinary person.
At that time, she can't be regarded as a combat force, just enough to be at ease as an ordinary person and enjoy a life that she has never had.
But for now, although she likes a stable life, she doesn't like to be taken care of as a 'weakling'.
