Chapter 38: Stupid Brother

What kind of existence is the root?

Gen was established in the name of the Dark Training Department after the succession of the third generation of ape Fei Ri, and it was an independent organization that only belonged to itself, and it was a force that was secretly operating in the sky as the leader of the Konoha rights and interests.

If the ninja is a very cruel existence, and the dark part is a very shady organization among the ninjas, then the root can't even be called a human, and they don't even use everything about people as a benchmark anymore, just a simple tool.

So Uchiha Kusuo's recent attention has been mostly on Shisui, and Itachi's side is relieved to see him repel those shadows who came to find fault.

As a result, it was the Weasel side that had a problem first.

At first, Itachi said to Sasuke, "Once you have power, it's hard not to become arrogant, even if your original intention is to be excellent." ”

Sasuke: "Huh? ”

Itachi: "Being good is also troublesome, and when you have power, you will be isolated by others, and you will become arrogant, even if you have the greatest expectations at the beginning. Sasuke, you are my brother, and I will continue to exist in this world as a wall that you must surpass, even if you hate it, this is the existence called brother. ”

Sasuke cried: "I was wrong, I didn't have a cold war with Naruto, brother, don't hate me, it's obviously Naruto's fault this time!" ”

Itachi: "? ”

Uchiha Kusuo said coolly on the side: [Brother, Sasuke is very popular at school, oh, he has only been annoyed by that group of girls recently, plus he has a cold war with Naruto, not that he is isolated. ]

Itachi paused for a moment, then smiled, "That's good, that's great." ”

Two months passed.

Kusuo Uchiha sat in the hallway.

(The author has given up on the edge side and is too unaccustomed to it.) )

He heard the fierce argument between Itachi and Fugaku in the room, heard Itachi's voice gradually calming down, heard Itachi stop talking, heard him get up and open the door, heard the heavy footsteps of him coming over.

[Brother.] Kusuo Uchiha looked up at him, and when he got closer, he raised his hand and tugged at the hem of his pants to signal him to sit down.

Itachi's face was cold, but he stared at Uchiha Kusuo for a few seconds before sitting down with a relaxed eyebrow.

"What's the matter, Kusuo? Still not sleeping so late? What about Sasuke? He touched his brother's hair, which was unexpectedly soft and fried, and his mood was a little better.

[Sasuke falls asleep.] Kusuo Uchiha said, looking at the sparkling pool in front of him, [Did my brother and dad quarrel?] ]

Itachi's hand paused, he looked at the child next to him for a few seconds, and sighed: "It's not a quarrel, it's just that we have a difference of opinion." ”

[Can you tell me about it?] Uchiha Kusuo looked at him, [If there is a problem, you have to say it Oh, saying it may not necessarily solve it, but if you don't say it, it will never be solved, brother, believe me? Didn't you say you could rely on me? ]

Itachi and the calm dark eyes looked at each other for a minute, then looked up at the moon in the sky.

After a few more moments, he finally spoke.

"People rely on their own perception and cognition to understand the world, but they are also bound by it, which is called reality. But perception and cognition are very ambiguous things, reality may just be a flash, people live in self-consciousness, don't you think so? He said.

[Well, I guess so, everyone's eyes on the world are different.] Kusuo Uchiha said.

"Why can't people understand each other?" He whispered, "Why are people always so arrogant? Why can't I notice the presence of other people? Why do you always see only three inches in front of you? ”

[Arrogant?] Uchiha Kusuo looked at him, [Who?] ]

"Yes, everybody." Itachi sighed, "Whether it's the village or the family. ”

[Brother, did you also cover your eyes with arrogance when you came to this conclusion?] Kusuo Uchiha said, [Judging everyone, that's arrogant.] ]

Itachi's pupils shook, and he looked at his young brother, at the immature face that hadn't even faded from the baby's fat.

Kusuo Uchiha looked at him quietly.

Itachi suddenly covered his face: "Yes, so am I, once a person has strength, it is difficult not to become arrogant, even if the original intention is just to pursue excellence." ”

When he said this again, the tone was completely different.

"Thinking that I have got everything, thinking that I can do everything, I no longer believe in the power of others...... Not even believing that others can understand your own thoughts is self-righteous and arrogant. He said.

[……] Uchiha Kusuo Khan, [Well, brother, you know it very well.] ]

"No, that's what I just got my impression." Itachi reached out and touched his head: "It's because of Kusuo, that's why I reacted, so even if it's difficult, I'll try to put everyone on the same level for a conversation." ”

[No...... I don't think you need to do this to everyone, it still depends on the person. Kusuo Uchiha hastened to stop him from going to the other extreme, [at least, we as family members can be trusted.] Although Sasuke and I are still young, please believe us, sometimes the elder brother can also rely on the younger brother, this is the brother. Dad is stubborn, but please give him a little more time. And Mom, although Mom doesn't say anything, Mom actually knows everything, brother, sometimes you can talk to Mom. ]

[Before worrying about the village, family, and the world, please care more about your family, brother.] He said.

When the moonlight finally broke through the heavy clouds, Itachi sat in the bright moonlight and smiled.

"Well, it seems that my brother is really incompetent, and he actually makes my brother so worried."

[Well, I think my brother is pretty good.] Uchiha Kusuo's gaze shifted to a few brightly colored goldfish swimming over, [There is such an arrogance, the more arrogant it is, the easier it is to ignore the value and rationality of the existence of things other than oneself, and the easier it is to have a feeling that the whole world is boring and ridiculous compared to oneself.] ]

Itachi frowned: "This ......"

[This is conceit.] Kusuo Uchiha said, [So it's easy for them to claim to be saviors and feel that their companions are useless, so they abandon their companions and choose to carry everything on their own.] You will feel that people have no value at all, and they are not worth guarding at all. You will feel that there is a lot of scum in the world, so you should simply kill them all. You will feel that this world is miserable and ridiculous, and you must abolish this world and create a new one. ]

[This kind of person is the legendary villain.] He said.

Silent.

Itachi stared at Kusuo Uchiha for a long time, and then he didn't know what to think, and suddenly the whole person relaxed.

"Now, Kusuo, can I ask you for something?" He said.

[What?] Uchiha Kusuo was stunned.

"I want you to look at me, keep an eye on me, and look for what is missing and wrong in me." Itachi said, "Kusuo's words, I must be able to see it." ”

[……]

[Ah, I can't help it.] Kusuo Uchiha stretched out his fist, [Who called you my stupid brother.] ]

Itachi smiled and lightly touched his fist: "It's called stupid...... It's the first time, but why are you so happy? ”

[Because you're a fool.] Kusuo Uchiha sighed.
