Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 76 Brothers’ Disagreement (Part )

"Itachi, we haven't talked for a while." Shisui smiled.

"Yes, we haven't talked since your eyes were taken away." Uchiha Itachi said.

When Shisui saw Uchiha Itachi brought up this, he shook his head helplessly. What happened a few days ago made him see the true faces of many people, and in the past few days, he also checked the old files left by the Security Department in his spare time. The things hidden under the seemingly bright and beautiful appearance of the village made a huge change in his mentality.

He realized that Uchiha Dohuan took away his eyes to protect his family, the village, and even more so himself. He clearly realized that he was too naive in the past. If Uchiha Dohuan had not taken action in time, but allowed him to use Kotoamatsukami to do whatever he wanted, then the family and the village would probably be doomed, and these crimes in the village would continue to be hidden.

Uchiha Douhuan was right. The answer he gave to his inner torture, Kotoamatsukami, was too arrogant and naive. In his hands, Kotoamatsukami was no different from a child holding a sharp knife, dangerous and uncontrollable.

Now, even if Uchiha Dohuan placed his Mangekyō Sharingan in front of Shisui, Shisui would not have the courage to pick it up again.

Seeing that Shisui fell into silence, Uchiha Itachi asked after a while: "What happened in the village some time ago?"

"Have you heard everything?" Shisui sighed and recounted the cause and effect of the rumor incident some time ago in detail. As an eyewitness to the security department, Shisui naturally had a clearer perspective than Sasuke, who could only know it through rumors.

After hearing the whole story, Uchiha Itachi frowned deeply. After a while, he looked up and said, "No matter what, the security department should not use violence against the villagers."

"Itachi, I know what you mean. Doo Hwan has been very restrained in this matter." Shisui understood his best friend's thoughts very well. "He originally planned to resolve this matter through legislation, but things developed out of control to such a situation under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives. I don't think Doo Hwan would want to do that either."

"Shisui, you..." Uchiha Itachi did not expect that Shisui would actually speak for Uchiha Dohuan who had robbed his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"But if this happens, the gap between the family and the village will only get bigger and bigger. Uchiha Dohuan has never thought about integrating the family into the village! Have you forgotten our dreams?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

"Itachi, you have a profound misunderstanding of Doo Hwan. Doo Hwan has always been trying to integrate the clan into the village! The fact that the security department recruited civilian ninjas is the best proof of this," Shisui said. "Also, after this incident, I've thought about it carefully. The clan can be integrated into the village, but the security department cannot."

Shisui's words puzzled Itachi, but Shisui quickly helped him clear up his confusion: "After all, the Security Department is the law enforcement department of the village. What law enforcement departments need to do is to ensure their fairness, not to get close to the villagers. On this matter, Doo Hwan is much more clear-headed than we were before."

"Shisui, have you forgotten the Will of Fire?" Uchiha Itachi looked at Shisui in disbelief. It had only been a short time, and even someone like Shisui who firmly believed in the Will of Fire had been brainwashed by Uchiha Dohuan?

"Itachi, the Guard Department must fulfill its duties well, which is the true practice of the Will of Fire." Seeing Itachi so excited, Uchiha Shisui had to frown and speak seriously.

The two fell silent again. After a while, Shisui sighed and continued, "Besides, Itachi, some people in the village may not really care about the Will of Fire as much as they claim." "Shisui, don't forget what that guy said that day about starting a war!" Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth.

"I think Doo Hwan said that just to disturb my mind," Shisui said after shaking his head, "He probably didn't want to harm my life at the time, so he did that. Otherwise, with his eye technique, he would have ten thousand ways to kill me."

"Enough! I think you have been brainwashed by that guy and completely forgotten our dream! Forgot the will of fire!" Uchiha Itachi slammed the table, growled, and left.

The conversation between the two ended in a bad mood. Shisui looked at Uchiha Itachi's back as he left, feeling helpless. He thought to himself, "Itachi, Douhuan once said that I was arrogant, but I didn't expect that your arrogance is even greater than mine."

If possible, he would like to show Uchiha Itachi the shocking evidence, but due to the confidentiality regulations, he did not have the authority to do so.

"It seems that I can only wait until tomorrow to ask Dohwan and see if Itachi can also know the truth." After Uchiha Itachi left, Uchiha Shisui returned to the study, took out the documents again, and sighed.

After leaving Shisui's house, Uchiha Itachi wandered around aimlessly. He didn't understand why he felt as if the whole world had abandoned him after he had been away for a while. His younger brother who had once relied on him the most and his brother who was both his teacher and friend had become strangers to him.

Itachi Uchiha unknowingly came to the place where he once thought about life with the person he loved the most, the cliff beside the Nanga River.

The night wind on the top of the cliff ruffled his hair. Uchiha Itachi felt every breeze blowing past his ears and began to rethink the relationship between his family and the village.

Uchiha Itachi is one of the few smart people in the Uchiha clan, whose minds are all about muscles and family glory. Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Uchiha Itachi can think about problems from the perspective of Hokage, so he can see that there are problems in the way the family and the village get along, but how to solve this problem, even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who sits in the position of Hokage, has no idea, let alone him who can only think about problems from the perspective of Hokage.

In other words, Uchiha Itachi had a brain that allowed him to think like this, but what he saw and learned could not support the level of his thinking.

If Uchiha Dohuan were here, he might be willing to guide this lost soul, but pride and prejudice made Uchiha Itachi make what he thought was the right choice.

The last fallen leaf of early winter fluttered down, and Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan suddenly opened. Three magatama slowly rotated in it, and the fallen leaves flying in the wind were ignited by chakra. Through the light of the flame, he looked towards the direction of Hokage Rock, the highest point in the village. The shadow rocks of the four Hokage in his Sharingan were particularly clear.

"The will of fire cannot be wrong." As the ashes of burnt leaves drifted in the wind, Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself.
