Chapter 172: [Please believe in Konoha again!] 】
When he was a child, Itachi often soaked in the study to read, and he also read many historical biographies made up by literati.
Among them, it is not uncommon for generals to resist foreign enemies while also taking into account domestic internal strife and strife.
At that time, my younger self would always attribute these troublemakers to 'bad people', thinking that without them, the generals who promised the country would be able to deal with foreign enemies and defend the country more easily.
Even in Artoria's memory, she was the one who had to protect Britain while dealing with the troubles caused by the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs.
There will always be people who will sacrifice themselves for the sake of righteousness and the overall situation.
There will always be people who take advantage of the opportunity to make profits or even make the situation more chaotic in the midst of the general righteousness and the overall situation.
But at that time, I must not have imagined that I would become such a 'bad person', and while taking on the title of 'Uchiha Patriarch', I was also burdened with sins that could not be washed away.
"Do you know what you're doing? Weasel. ”
Standing beside the people who were in charge of Konoha's various rights, Sarutobi looked coldly at the sharp-edged young man opposite, and said in a deep voice, "I thought you were a person who could take care of the overall situation. ”
"Do you know how many people will die as a result of this?"
"Do you know how many of your companions guarding Konoha at the border will chill if you do this?"
Itachi replied firmly, "I know, I know. ”
"But please understand that you have something that you must do because of your identity and position, and I have the fact that I must bear it because of my identity and position."
"In order for my people to survive, I must leave Konoha with the Uchiha."
He didn't hide himself with a regal excuse,
Or it is hypocritically refuting and arguing about right and wrong.
It's as if no matter what beautiful excuse is used to cover up, swordsmanship is always a killing skill.
Maybe......
In the midst of this contradiction,
There are really a lot of people who are innocent, and they don't know why Konoha and Uchiha have a dispute, and they don't know who is right and who is wrong.
But as the side of the minority, the Uchiha is bound to be accused of selfishness.
But so what?
Just as Artoria objected, then hesitated, and asked again and again, until she agreed to her approach and was willing to help her with the plan.
Uchiha Itachi admits his guilt, but does not admit that he is wrong.
Everyone is just forced and helpless to take different paths, that's all.
Faced with Uchiha Itachi admitting his sins so bluntly, it made the originally gloomy face of Sarutobi pause, his yellow and cloudy eyes stared at Itachi, and he opened his mouth to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to speak.
Once again, the atmosphere was quiet.
The contradiction between Konoha and Uchiha was bluntly spread out by Uchiha Itachi.
Now, there are only two options left for both sides.
First, the Uchiha left Konoha and the two sides were temporarily safe and sound, and they survived the attack on Cloud Hidden Village together.
Second, Konoha opposes Uchiha leaving, and the two sides go to war.
The Uchiha will be wiped out in this friction, and Konoha will also lose the next battle with Yungakure and even more forces, or even ...... Destroy!
There is no doubt that the first option is relatively sound.
Although the departure of the Uchiha is likely to cause a hidden danger to Konoha, at least at this stage will be fine.
Everyone thinks that for the sake of the overall situation, Ape Fei Ri will definitely choose the first path.
No one thought that he would choose the second one.
Tuk –
However, at this moment, a dull collision sound sounded in everyone's ears.
Sarutobi Hichi, who was still standing in front of everyone, came to the place where Uchiha Itachi had been standing before in just a moment.
Its thin palm, which looked like dry wood, was imprinted in the air, and black spells were faintly visible in his hands.
Sealing!
At the same time, four shadow ninjas rushed into the house through two windows, each holding an iron lock, and swung towards the Uchiha Itachi, who had already dodged to the side.
"Hokage-sama, is this your choice?"
At the moment when the ape flew to the sky, Itachi had already dodged to the side out of 'intuition'.
For the few figures that rushed in, a trace of blood appeared in his eyes, and his tone was still steady, but there was a hint of anger, "This is what you call ...... The big picture?! ”
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi's palm was raised, and all his strength was already filling his entire arm along the meridians.
Boom –
The next moment, his body smashed directly into the wall and landed on the fence outside the building.
"Uchiha Itachi, don't be impulsive!"
Ape Flying Sun slashed out at Itachi.
Its figure and the four shadow ninjas smashed along the wall that Itachi shattered, and also landed on the wall outside the Hokage Building.
In order to prevent the Uchiha Itachi from overreacting, they didn't get closer, but there were already faint red enchantments on all sides of the building, and he didn't know when he instructed the surrounding dark ninjas in a special way to draw the enchantment!
At the same time, a thick fog enveloped the area.
They're trying to obscure their vision, and they're trying to hide what's going to happen here.
"This kind of enchantment can't stop me."
The Uchiha Itachi had blood-red eyes, and the black three-hooked jade inside of it stared directly at the ape flying sun slash on the opposite side.
And in the Hokage Building, Koharu and Mito Menyan Shanshan, who were Hokage's advisors, came outside from the window, their faces were a little dazed and hesitant.
Everything happened too fast.
In just an instant, the ape flying sun, who was still holding them down and not letting them do it, did suddenly attack the Uchiha Itachi, trying to trap the other party with a sealing technique!
And behind them, the various patriarchs of Konoha also left the building with a frown, observing the enchantment that had risen in all directions and not knowing when it would rise, and also at the Uchiha Itachi standing alone on the wall in the distance.
It's true...... Is there going to be a war?
Although they had been prepared before, they were a little hesitant to do it at this moment.
As Uchiha Itachi said, now is not the right time.
Even, if the Uchiha dares to make a move, he must be ready to raise the strength of the whole clan and drag Konoha into the water.
This is not a sane choice.
They all looked at the thin figure in front of them.
What do you want to do?
"Itachi, I know this enchantment can't trap you, I just hope the Uchiha can give me another chance."
Ape Fei Ri raised his hands in the air, signaling that he was not hostile.
"You just suddenly attacked me, and now you say that you want the Uchiha to give you another chance?"
Uchiha Itachi stared at him, "Three generations of adults, did the Uchiha give you a chance, or did you give the Uchiha a chance?" ”
"I just wish we had more time...... Negotiable. ”
Ape Fei Ri Slash spoke quickly, "Even if I succeed just now, I won't kill you, I will let you go, I hope to gain your trust." ”
"I know very well that killing you will only make the rest of the Uchiha more crazy, so I used the sealing technique instead of the lethal technique."
"I just want to go out of the third of the two paths you proposed."
Speaking of this, he paused, "I can use my name to make a promise with my position and reputation as the third Hokage, and from today onwards, Konoha will no longer have any prejudice against the Uchiha." ”
"If you wish, you can move back to your original land at any time."
"Even, I would like to invite you to take on the position of Hokage advisor and become the third Hokage advisor in Konoha right now."
"And if it is appropriate, I will expand the scale of the existing Shadow Division, and form another team of the Shadow Division, which will be arranged by you Uchiha, whether it is the recruitment of personnel or the domination of authority."
"I only hope that the Uchiha will not leave Konoha and will not give up the Konoha family."
"I hope you can believe in me again, this time, Konoha and Uchiha will definitely be able to establish friendly friendship, and they will definitely be able to become very good brothers and family." 、
"Together, we will make the Konoha family a better and more stable."
His tone was sincere, and the conditions in his words made the patriarchs of the Konoha clans next to him wide-eyed, including the patriarchs of the Hinata Hinata clan, Nara Shikaku, and Akido Dingza!
"I disagree!"
