Chapter 316: [Change in the Nature of War]

Compared to working hard alone,

Itachi hopes that someone can accompany him and everyone will move forward together.

At least, he didn't want to be what his father saw in his kaleidoscope again.

Lonely, paranoid, carrying everything on their backs and moving forward alone.

That feeling, he couldn't imagine how he was supported in that world.

I can't understand what he is relying on to survive.

Love for Konoha?

Is it love for Sasuke?

For the so-called big love, and give up the small love?

But what's the point of that kind of life?

For a village that is not worth paying for itself, stubborn and paranoid self-dedication.

Just because there are more people in the village than the number of people in the family,

And because the word "village" of countless families sounds heavier than a family.

So he willingly became the one who was sacrificed, and even chose for the people to become the one who was sacrificed.

It's really ...... It's too 'selfless'.

Even if the village and family will be destroyed due to internal strife, Itachi does not want to be a lonely and stubborn person to move forward alone in order to save one side and become the other party who is sacrificed.

"Of course we have to fight together!"

As Itachi's reply was delivered to Konoha, the family also started a clan meeting for the first time in a long time.

And the content, of course, is about this war, whether the clansmen are willing to participate in the war.

When Uchiha Ryu, as the patriarch, offered Itachi's opinion and ideas, someone quickly chimed in, a familiar and hoarse voice.

A few years have passed, and Uchiha Aomon's face has become old, and he has gray hair.

After all, he is old, and he is no longer as high-spirited as he was when he was on the battlefield a few years ago.

But whether it is the expression or tone, it is as heroic as ever.

"I chose to go to war."

Similarly, as the son of Uchiha Aomon, Uchiha Hui also raised his arms and made his position clear.

Compared to the Uchiha Aoto, who is gradually getting old, the Uchiha Hui is more mature and stable in terms of appearance.

is no longer the silly boy who pestered the weasel and said that he wanted to practice.

And then, there is the Uchiha Fire Gate, the Uchiha Feather, and the Uchiha Zen......

It doesn't matter if it's a former radical or a so-called conservative.

It doesn't matter if it's the older generation or the younger generation.

They were very consistent in their attitude towards the war.

None of them want to be deserters, even if they don't have enough strength and certainty to participate in the war, they are willing to sacrifice their own strength at the cost of their lives.

"It looks like everyone is willing to fight with us."

At the door of the conference room, Itachi and Artoria were not involved.

However, through the door of the conference room, they could clearly hear the attitude of the clansmen from the impassioned response that sounded through the crack in the door.

At this meeting, they did not make it clear who had to go to war.

Including the Uchiha Shisui who is a high-end combat power and Hui, who has become the pillar force of the Eight-Tails, they have no clear requirements.

But now it seems that, as Itachi thinks, most people don't want to be the protected party.

"In terms of the general battlefield, our current situation is superior."

Artoria leaned against the wall, listening to the resolute response from within, "The morale of itself, the trust of allies, and the knowledge of not belonging to this world......"

"Compared with the Akatsuki organization, which is huge but like a plate of scattered sand, our Fire Country's execution and people's hearts have more advantages."

"But...... This is no ordinary battlefield. ”

Obviously, she did not rise to more fighting spirit and eagerness because of that passionate and excited response.

From the perspective of combat experience and reason, most of the people here participated in the war just a senseless sacrifice.

"yes, it's not your average battlefield."

Itachi stared blankly at the blank wall in front of him, not refuting this statement.

His hands were crossed, his thumbs colliding unconsciously.

Although I haven't really seen it yet, just from some details of text information, I can know that it is not an ordinary battlefield.

"But ......"

Itachi turned his head to look at Artoria, "I'm still sticking with their choice. ”

"What I want to protect more than my life is the mind and will of this family."

"If you oppose them to go to war, some of the ideas that have been cultivated all this time will be worn out little by little."

……

"It's ...... What, Uchiha's reply. ”

Konoha wood,

On the Uchiha side, for the next battle, when deciding on the fighters,

The fifth Hokage received a reply from Itachi Uchiha.

And the above content makes Tsunade quite ...... Distress and panic!

"Does he mean that Payne, as the main general, will attack Konoha directly with his men?"

"It's hard to imagine what the war has become."

"Is it no longer a dispute between forces, but a battle between individuals?"

She asked in a cold voice.

I want to share my emotions with Jiraiya, Orochimaru and others beside me.

But......

No one responded to her.

Even Nara Kakusa looked at this reply and couldn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until Tsunade asked out loud that he sighed, "But it's true." ”

"Times have changed."

"The old-fashioned way of war has made Yunyin Village, Yanyin Village, and Takishi Village pay a painful price, and in this kind of war in which high-end combat power is exchanged for chips, being decisive enough is the key to victory."

Yes, times are different.

It's not that they can't accept the change, and it's not that they don't believe what the letter says.

Just by the first glance of reading, they could immediately understand that what Uchiha Itachi mentioned was highly likely.

It is not impossible to think of this matter with their wisdom, but it is limited to cognition, and they cannot think too comprehensively.

So......

What do they do while discovering and accepting this fact?

The history of ninja warfare is not without the so-called decapitation of the war.

Can...... There has never been a decapitation operation carried out by a strong man who has broken the balance!

This kind of behavior that breaks the preconceived notions and breaks the rules will change the nature of war and make it even worse!

The strong will no longer be bound by the rules and become unscrupulous.

And for the weak, it will be a disaster, it will be a massacre.

Especially, ordinary people.

"The only way to do this is to arrange an evacuation."

After a while, Nara Shikahisa made a judgment, "No matter what the final situation is, we need to be prepared with both hands. ”

"On the Rain Country's side, the ninja army needs to assemble for an attack."

"But the village should also be reserved and vigilant."

If the Akatsuki organization uses Konoha as a battlefield, it will be a great test of life and death for most of the people in the village.

After all, directly gathering high-end combat forces to launch an attack on Konoha would make it impossible for the people of the Xiao Organization to abide by the previous rules of war, and it would be impossible for Konoha to expect them to show mercy to ordinary people.

They're going to destroy everything in this village.

If they choose to execute such extreme tactics.
