Chapter 252: [The Essence of Survival]

"You want to be Madara Uchiha, kill all these opponents, and let the ninja world have only one voice while you are alive."

"Or, do a thousand hands and become a balance point in the ninja world while you are alive."

"Do you want peace?"

……

Hopefully? Of course.

A peaceful and stable life has always been what Uchiha Itachi wants.

That was the case at the beginning, and it is the same now.

It's just that the way has changed, and the desire has become more and more complex as the prestige and status have increased, and with the increasing power.

However, learning from Madara Uchiha, unifying the ninja world by force, and achieving peace is not Itachi's way to go.

It is not what Itachi wants to promote the balance of countries to achieve peace by checking and balancing each other.

When......

The things you are worried about and pursuing have changed from the affairs of one clan to the affairs of one country, and even the affairs of the ninja world?

What does the peace of the ninja world have to do with oneself?

Let the Uchiha be stable, let the Uchiha grow, and make the Uchiha strong enough to be unstoppable, is what you should consider?

It's really a momentary power, and I let myself be a little muddy.

It's like a group of mountain people guarding the gold mine, not knowing what the value of the gold mine is, and trading it in a barter way every day according to ancient times.

Until one day, a very frugal mountain man came out of the mountain, found that the gold ore that was inconspicuous in the mountain turned out to be a treasure of great value, so he began to squander and buy it.

But in fact, he was just enjoying and venting his desire to buy wantonly, and it wasn't until he calmed down that he realized that the things he bought during this venting time were actually of little use.

This should be called 'the rich man' and the 'nouveau riche'......

Babbling –

Miscellaneous footsteps fell to the ground, stirring up dust and small noises.

On the official road near Yunyin Village, one after another Uchiha people galloped at a very fast speed,

Its marching footsteps, speed, and team are regular, and when dozens of people move vertically, it is like a huge giant tiger, leaping and falling, which is the distance that ordinary people need to step dozens to cross.

And behind them, there are spies from all sides hanging in the distance.

Along the way, they found that as long as they didn't get too close, the Uchiha's team wouldn't waste time killing them or driving them away.

"Patriarch, after destroying Yunyin Village, are we going to take their place?"

At the front of the team, Uchiha Maji temporarily broke away from his original team, crossed a few figures to Itachi's side, and asked in a low voice, "When the time comes, will we Uchiha also have our own ninja village?" ”

His tone was a little excited, but also a little impatient.

And after the Uchiha Maji spoke, the footsteps of several Uchiha ninjas who followed Itachi showed obvious sluggishness.

But it was only for a moment, and soon, their movements were stable.

But their expressions were clearly attentive to Itachi's next response.

Beside Itachi, only Artoria kept her pace steady.

"Substitution?"

Itachi calmly grabbed the words in it, and the pace and rhythm of the rush between the flat ground were steady, "Do you want to manage Yunyin Village?" ”

"Along the way, you have also seen the attitude of those people in the Land of Thunder, this ordinary people in the Land of Thunder is still like this, and the ninjas in Yunyin Village are ready to live and die with the village."

"If Yunyin Village really perishes in the next battle, and you plan to stay in this Thunder Country and become a light general, then you can do it."

Uchiha Maji quickly replied with a sneer, "No...... No. ”

"Patriarch, of course I want to go back to the clan, how can we live comfortably in this Yunyin Village."

"But this trip, we have wasted so much effort and sweat for the Fire Country, we can't get nothing."

"Oh?"

Itachi Uchiha turned his head, "And what do you think we deserve?" ”

"Of course it's dominating the ninja world!"

The Uchiha Maji replied without hesitation, "Patriarch, since you and your friends are so strong, are you ...... Are we still going to nest in that three-inch land in the Land of Fire? ”

They didn't deliberately lower their voices when they talked, and beside them, many Uchiha ninjas listened to them, and the rhythm of their breathing changed significantly.

"Three inches?"

Uchiha Itachi took his eyes off him and looked ahead again, "The three inches of land in your mouth is the most prosperous capital in the entire ninja world. ”

"And the land occupied by a few hundred of our Uchiha in this most prosperous capital is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people."

"Isn't that enough?"

"Do you think that we Uchiha should have one person and one city in order to highlight our status and power?"

"I don't know what the other people think, but I don't want to see my friends, and I have to travel for a day and a night before I can see each other."

In his tone, he was not interested in the temptation of 'dominating the ninja world'.

His words were like a bucket of cold water, poured directly into the eager hearts of many Uchiha ninjas present.

"That'...... Isn't it worthless for us to make this trip? ”

Having said this, Uchiha Maji couldn't find any way to advise for a while.

It doesn't really seem to make sense for a few hundred people to occupy such a huge land.

"Harvest?"

Itachi spoke softly, "The biggest takeaway from this trip is that we have recognized what the most important essence of survival in this ninja world is. ”

"The number of forces, the amount of land occupied, and the level of status can only affect the victory or defeat within the balance."

"And only the power of continuous self-improvement can be separated from balance and become an existence that is difficult to ignore!"

The Uchiha were a little dazed.

Many people present were also a little dazed.

It is not the size of the land, the number of people, or the level of status that determines power, but what standard is it measured?

The Land of Fire covers a wide area and is rich in products, so it is the largest country in the ninja world.

And the Konoha soldiers have a wide range of generals, strong people and strong horses, and they dominate the entire ninja world, so it is the first ninja village in the ninja world.

This is the most basic cognition.

"Just listen to orders!"

Following Uchiha Maji's side, Uchiha Aoto realized something, and scolded coldly, "There is still ...... Now it's a march and a war, not a walk through the streets! ”

"Have you been too loose lately?"

"I'm really going to rely on the patriarch and ...... Friends of the patriarch, take down the next battle, and then the gangsters will succeed? You have to be serious! ”

"I probably don't expect us to help."

"But...... Since we came along, we can't be a burden, dragging the patriarch back and losing the face of the Uchiha, do you understand! ”

A reprimand, so that the team that had been scattered because of a few questions from Uchiha Maji was reorganized.

Although there are still some people who have doubts in their hearts and have something to ask.

But they were all pressed and didn't make a sound.

For all this, the Itachi sees it in its eyes and remembers it in its heart.

From the beginning of entering the Land of Thunder, he did not give too many orders.

All along, it was these Uchiha who came with them who relied on their own consciousness to march.

"I won't rest tonight, go directly through the village in front of me and go to Yunyin Village."

In the evening, upon another arrival at a village, Itachi's command was heard at the front of the procession.

This is the closest village to Yunyin Village, and if you don't stop, you can reach your destination tomorrow.

But the moment the figure stepped into the village, Itachi paused in his footsteps, raised his arm, and motioned for the group to stop, "It seems...... The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow did not intend to place the battlefield in Yunyin Village. ”

His voice was calm, and his eyes were fixed on the only figure in the silent street opposite.
