Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 75: Brotherly Disagreement (Part )

"Sasuke...why do you think so?" Uchiha Itachi asked after a brief silence.

"The whole story is clear," Sasuke said, puzzled as to why his brother asked. "It was these villagers who first spread rumors and slandered the village hero, Kakashi-sama. The security department is simply following the law."

"Spreading rumors?" Uchiha Itachi asked in confusion. He only knew that the family and the security team had used violence in this matter, but he didn't know the specific situation.

"Yes, some time ago, there were rumors everywhere in the village that Brother Kakashi was a murderer and that dozens of his teammates died at his hands in the Third Ninja World War." Sasuke said.

"But even so, the family should not use force against the civilians in the village. We are ninjas and cannot use force against civilians." Uchiha Itachi said.

"That's not right, brother. My teacher taught me that punishing someone without teaching them is cruelty, and punishing someone who doesn't change after teaching them is the way of the king. If the Security Department does nothing and just takes action, that's definitely wrong. When the rumors first started spreading, the Security Department had already issued a law clearly telling the villagers that this was wrong, but those villagers still did what they wanted. So the Security Department is the right thing to do to educate them."

"Is that what he taught you?" Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that his younger brother, who used to obey him in everything, would say such things now. Is this still his lovely younger brother?
"What's wrong, brother? Is what the teacher said wrong?" Uchiha Sasuke didn't understand why Uchiha Itachi reacted so strongly. This was something that even a seven-year-old child like him could understand.

"Of course not!" Uchiha Itachi wanted to change Sasuke's mind and refuted him on the spot, "The villagers are certainly wrong, but they can't use violence arbitrarily. The security department can obviously use more gentle means. Using violence will only widen the gap between the family and the village."

"No, brother, it's useless." Sasuke shook his head seriously. "My teacher taught me that villains fear power but not virtue. For villains, only by making them understand the price of breaking the rules will they understand the seriousness of the law."

"Sasuke!" Uchiha Itachi's expression became very serious, "How can you say that the villagers are villains?"

"Brother, that's not what I meant." Seeing Itachi was a little angry, Sasuke quickly explained, "Of course not all villagers are villains, but those who were captured by the Security Department can definitely be called villains."

"Why?" Uchiha Itachi asked with a frown.

"My teacher taught me that hearsay is the abandonment of morality. People who believe and spread rumors are immoral. People who have no morality, can't they be called villains?" Sasuke explained.

"Enough!" Uchiha Itachi interrupted Sasuke angrily. Sasuke's constant constant "teacher taught me" made him extremely annoyed. "Didn't he teach you what the Will of Fire is?"

Itachi's sudden outburst scared Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Itachi in confusion. He didn't understand why his brother was suddenly so angry.

Soon, Itachi realized that he might have frightened Sasuke, and hurriedly said to comfort him: "Sorry, Sasuke, I lost my composure. Didn't your teacher teach you the Will of Fire?"

Sasuke shook his head and said, "The teacher would occasionally mention it to me during class, but he would always say that this is something that is discussed every day in the ninja school, so he wouldn't tell me in detail."

Uchiha Douhuan truly has ill intentions. While teaching Sasuke these things, he actually didn't teach him the great Will of Fire. Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, then took a deep breath before saying, "Sasuke, do you think the Security Department's actions are in line with the Will of Fire?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and said, "Of course it fits. Where Konoha flutters, fire will also continue to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout. Brother Kakashi is a hero who burned himself for the village. When the glory of heroes illuminates our way forward, we must also protect the heroes who burn for the village. If even heroes who burn themselves for the village can be wantonly slandered, then who will be willing to burn themselves for the village in the future?"

"Is this how you understand the will of fire?" asked Uchiha Itachi.

"Is there something wrong?" Sasuke was a little confused, "Then how do you understand the Will of Fire, brother?"

Uchiha Itachi opened his mouth. He wanted to refute Sasuke's words, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any loopholes in Sasuke's words.

"Brother, if you are a hero who burned yourself for the village, but after burning everything for the village, you are slandered and your family is implicated, what will you do?" Sasuke suddenly asked at this time. After experiencing Uchiha Dohuan's teachings, Sasuke also had his own set of right and wrong. At the same time, he also realized that his brother did not seem to agree with these things, so Sasuke also wanted to persuade his brother.

"I..." Itachi was speechless when he thought of that scene. After a while, he spoke with some difficulty: "I will endure all this silently, because we are ninjas. The so-called ninja is someone who can endure everything."

"Brother, do you really think so?" Sasuke asked, "You hesitated just now, right?"

Itachi fell silent. He really couldn't accept the scenario that Sasuke described.

"Brother, you can't accept this situation, right?" Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi, "Teacher once taught me, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."

Uchiha Itachi was speechless. After a long time, he sighed and said to Sasuke: "I know, Sasuke, you go to sleep first, I still have something to do."

The first chat between the two brothers after not seeing each other for a long time ended in vain. After Uchiha Itachi walked out of Sasuke's room, he sighed, changed his clothes, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.

At this moment, at Uchiha Shisui's house, although he had already gotten off work, Shisui was still in the study room repeatedly looking at the testimonies of the three clans who had colluded with Orochimaru, which were interrogated by the Anbu who came with him to investigate today.

There was a knock on the door. Uchiha Shisui looked up with a puzzled look on his face. Who would come to see him so late?
Shisui put away the documents, came to the door and opened it. After seeing who was coming, a smile appeared on Shisui's face: "Itachi? You're back?"

"Shisui." Seeing his brother who was both his teacher and friend, Uchiha Itachi smiled briefly.

"Come in and sit down." Shisui brought Uchiha Itachi back home. Shisui pulled over a short couch and the two of them sat on the floor.
