Kusuo Uchiha habitually distances himself from all fragile existences.

Beautiful flowers, delicate porcelain, bonds of happiness.

That's how it should be.

"Ahh

[……]

"Babble~" Sasuke happily climbed back again.

Itachi hurriedly picked him up, and with a chubby baby in his arms, the 5-year-old was still able to have a free hand to see if Kusuo Uchiha was okay.

"Sasuke really likes Kusuo." Itachi sighed as he grabbed back the baby's chubby hand, not knowing whether it was envy or pure exclamation.

Kusuo Uchiha had already quickly gotten up and hid on the other side of Itachi, grabbing the corner of his coat and watching vigilantly at the baby who insisted on "playing" with him.

Gintoki Sakata let out a maniacal laugh in his head.

Fortunately, it was Uchiha Itachi who accompanied them today, and if Itachi was there, Sasuke at least wouldn't insist on harassing him all the time.

Sasuke Chao likes Itachi's brother's.

If it's Mikoto's mother, or Fugaku's father, Uchiha Kusuo is going to carry a large Sasuke pendant with him today.

"Yo Xi Yo Xi, Sasuke is a good boy, you can't bully your younger brother." Itachi still spoke to the baby seriously and gently, saying something he clearly didn't understand, "Brother must protect brother." ”

"Babble~" Sasuke crawled on top of him, grabbed his drooping black hair, and grinned happily with his teething mouth.

So the weasel laughed too.

Kusuo Uchiha: "......"

[No eyes.] Sakata Gintoki complained for him.

The weather was still hot, the tatami door of the Uchiha patriarch's house was opened, and Uchiha Itachi and his younger brothers sat under the cloister to cool off, with the pond in front of them sparkling.

The dazzling sunlight is filtered into beautiful spots by the trees and sprinkled on the floor, the pond is shallow, and a few brightly colored goldfish are chasing their tails and frolicking.

There was only a five-year-old child and his two newborn brothers in the huge courtyard.

In the 48th year of Konoha , the third ninja war at this time can see the end, but the recovery and vigilance after the war are still not to be underestimated, as the new patriarch of the Uchiha family and Konoha Kaminobi, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto are very busy.

That is, Mikoto, who has just given birth, can still find some time to accompany the child, and Uchiha Fugaku has only seen them less than ten times since the child was born.

In the 47th year of Konoha, he defeated Iwa Shinobu in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, but as a victorious country, Konoha actually made the decision to accept peace talks and gave up the right to demand compensation, which was almost like losing the war.

The three generations who gave this order asked themselves to step down, and the first merit of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge at that time, the famous Konoha "Golden Flash" during the Third World War, Bo Feng Shuimon, served as the fourth Hokage of Konoha .

Bo Feng Shuimen is powerful, handsome, and has a sunny personality, and he has long made a lot of reputation in various countries, and he is the Hokage, and the situation is fused.

It was only after that that that the end of the three wars could really be seen.

At that time, Bo Feng Shuimon got married, the patriarch of the Hyuga family also got married, and Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were pregnant with their second child.

In addition to the Hokage-sama and Konoha Hitomi family, other families such as Nara, Oil Girl, Inuzuka, Akimichi, Yamanaka, etc., have also begun to relax and actively create people, and the enthusiasm of ordinary people such as the Haruno family is not less than theirs.

This period was the largest number of marriages and children in the past decade, and it was also the gathering period for the birth of many legendary ninjas, which once became the focus of later scholars' research.

Konoha 48, August 15.

For more than half a month after birth, Kusuo Uchiha, Sasuke, and Mikoto's mother were all in Konoha Hospital.

In these short days, Kusuo Uchiha saw how often new births and deaths alternated at Konoha Hospital.

New generations of babies are being born, and the remnants of the war are dying one after another.

This led to Kusuo Uchiha being held in the arms of Uchiha Itachi, and being brainwashed every day by his voice of thinking about philosophy.

Itachi Uchiha never stopped thinking, and everything he heard and saw could make him think.

When you see the good, you think positively, and when you see the bad, you start to doubt the world, and you doubt yourself.

In his eyes, everything should be meaningful.

The dust under your feet, the stones on the side of the road, the wild flowers on the cliffs, the big trees in the village, the fish in the river, the ninjas of Konoha, the ordinary people of Konoha, the corpses of war, the crows in the wild, everyone's smiles, everyone's tears...... Everything you see in your eyes should be meaningful.

What is the significance?

A drop of water in the Buddha view, 84,000 insects.

Itachi Uchiha observes the world.

Life and death.

Village & Family.

Battles and wars.

Peace and justice.

Ninja and Glory.

Selfishness and righteousness.

The love and hate of the Uchiha clan is extremely intense, extreme and crazy, conceited and persistent, and it is easy to go to extremes.

But the heart is sensitive and delicate to the extent that Uchiha Itachi has never been.

Since the enlightenment of human beings, there have been four kinds.

One is that I have never experienced the real darkness, and I have never thought about these things, and I feel that the darkness that I see or hear from others is disgusting and perverted. As a result, it is most common to hate that person and not think about anything else, and only to express his feelings from a high, pure standpoint.

One is deeply invaded by darkness and blended with darkness, only seeing darkness and believing only in darkness.

One is to know the darkness, to understand the darkness, but to despair and ignore the hypnotism of oneself.

There is also the one who sees the darkness, thinks about the darkness, and fights against the darkness.

The darkness is there, whether you believe it or not.

If you don't believe it, it's good, it means that someone blocked it for you, and you're very happy.

Or that you're too stupid to be easily fooled into thinking about anything else.

Faith, too.

After all, this world still needs someone to go to the forefront, and after all, there are still people who have to resist something.

Regardless of the final outcome.

Hero? Hero? Sinner?

After all, they are not ordinary people.

So it's natural for ordinary people not to understand.

- Humans are easily trapped by the environment.

In feudal society, almost no one doubted the authority of the monarch.

In peaceful societies, almost no one thinks about the meaning of their existence.

A tyrant can also be born in a closed town of a thousand people.

Villages of hundreds of people will also give birth to village tyrants.

A class of fifty people will give birth to different factions.

Small groups of more than twenty people brainwash each other. ①

Human beings are very easy to be trapped in a small and closed environment, unable to see the world clearly, unable to see themselves clearly, drifting with the crowd, hypnotizing themselves.

In this world, in this era, does no one really doubt what a ninja really is? Do you really not doubt your lifestyle?

Of course there is, but it doesn't work.

The world is so big, history is like a torrent, what can a single person do?

What can you do?

You can't do anything.

If you don't get an answer, you get an answer that doesn't make sense, you can't make a change, and in the end it's just a futile effort.

As a result, we maintained a peace as fragile as thin ice, and held on to the belief that countless tragedies were born.

The world is normal, I am also normal, life is like this, isn't everyone living like this?

That's good, it's already good, everyone has worked hard, what do you want to do so much? Is it bad to live simply?

But the Uchiha clan is different.

Maybe it's the sensitivity and pride given by the innate immortal bloodline, or maybe it's the family glory that has been infected for a hundred years.

They will not throw in the towel.

They don't agree.

They can't forgive.

Even in the face of the whole world, I have to show you.

Even if the blood is flowing, even if the lives are ruined, even if the people rebel and leave.

Uchiha Itachi is different from his ancestors in that he has to think more and go further.

His heart should also be more gentle and kind.

But that's not a good word in the ninja world.

But Itachi Uchiha also has a lot in common with his powerful and famous ancestors.

For example, he also has the strength and courage to change the world, and is mentally prepared to bear all the consequences.

- He is just as paranoid.

However, the other Uchiha's fault is that he is too short-sighted, and the Uchiha Itachi's problem is that he looks too far.

It was a little too far away, so far away that he began to lose sight of the people around him. ②

Kusuo Uchiha thinks that if Itachi is also going to give him a "brother love" package, he must let the other party also experience the love from the "stupid brother".

Sakata Gintoki clapped his hands and feet in agreement.

He has recently been made to doubt life by the voice of Uchiha Itachi.

[I think I used to be in the second year of middle school, but after being beaten a few times, I had to give up some tempting plans, and Itachi was able to beat others fat, and I don't know when I will graduate from the second year of secondary school, do you want to try this method?] ]③

[Speak as if you're a sophomore now.] Uchiha Kusuo complained expressionlessly.

[What to say!] Yinsang is a mature and steady adult, and there are two children waiting to be fed at home and a super edible alien dog waiting for me to go back and raise. Sakata immediately retorted, saying that he would not be slandered.

[A child should be like a child, and leave anything to an adult.] Sakata Gintoki said with a hanging voice.

[Hmm.] This Uchiha Kusuo agrees.

[However, who did you just say is a mature and steady adult?] ］
