Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

Uchiha Itachi was bewildered.

He felt that his values ​​had been shattered several times since he met this teacher.

But this time...

It's still shattered into pieces!

This is completely different from what the clan taught us before!

However, he did not deny it.

He understood his teacher's personality; he had no interest in lying about this.

There are previous records within the family.

Although it may appear messy and complicated because no one has tidied it up, you can find out a lot of things if you really calm down.

So there's really no need to deceive yourself. 19

therefore.

Upon receiving this information for the first time, he immediately disregarded his question and began to quietly ponder it.

He needs to fully understand all the information he hears.

Time slowly passed.

Uchiha Jin didn't disturb him, and just sat there basking in the sun.

About half an hour later.

Itachi opened his eyes again and looked at Jin with a serious expression.

"Teacher, that's enough!"

Uchiha Jin nodded.

He didn't show much surprise, after all, Itachi was a genius, he understood things in half an hour.

Yes, that's normal!

His lips twitched slightly for a moment before he rubbed his temples and spoke.

"Okay, let's continue!"

"Through my explanation, you should now understand the advantages and disadvantages of the police department."

"Next, let's talk about Hiruzen Sarutobi's rise to power. He became increasingly wary of the Uchiha clan and, taking advantage of their simple-mindedness, used the police department as a core to completely isolate the Uchiha clan from the village."

"In the end, it became what you see now."

"Throughout Konoha, although the Uchiha clan holds great power, they are not close to any other ninja clans, and even the common people resist the Uchiha."

“Under normal circumstances, I have no interest in meddling.”

"After all, you know the teacher's situation. To put it bluntly, I don't have much of a connection with the clan."

"But your dad's a sly one!"

"First, I received shares in the Uchiha caravan and dividends, and then I made you become my disciple."

"So, here's the question."

"I can't let the Uchiha clan perish, otherwise I'll lose my annual bonus."

"Secondly, it's you."

"Since I've taken you in as my apprentice, and people are emotional beings, how could I possibly abandon you?"

"So, there's no other way!"

"I took over the position of police chief, but who would have thought that on my first day in office, I would be tested by Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"You must have heard your father tell you the inside story of the theft incident, right?"

In response to Uchiha Jin's question, Itachi nodded.

Of course he had heard of it.

After all, his father was the clan chief, and many things were probably considered secrets to the outside world.

But for him, the son of the clan chief, it was a daily occurrence.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Jin simply shrugged.

"So, that's how it is."

"The Hokage tested me by harming the interests of civilians, and I turned around and used the civilians to fight back against the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, decided to hand over the police department to the Uchiha clan in the hope of using civilians to deal with the Uchiha!"

"This is the truth!"

"The Hokage doesn't care about ordinary people, the ninja clans don't care about ordinary people, and neither do the Uchiha clans."

"Ordinary people are just pawns to us, they're dispensable."

"As long as we can strike our opponents, nobody cares whether they live or die."

"You know me!"

"Actually, I don't look down on ordinary people. In fact, I was raised by ordinary people myself. If possible, I would like to treat ordinary people better."

"But, no!"

"If I act with restraint, I'll only be killed by the Hokage."

"So, got it?"

"This world is not black and white, nor is there any justice or evil, and this matter is not even about right or wrong."

"Only because we have different stances!"

"There's only one thing: the victor takes all!"

"History is written by the victors. If the Hokage wins, the Uchiha clan will be defined as evil."

"On the contrary, if the Uchiha wins, then the Hokage will become the source of evil."

"And the years that Hiruzen Sarutobi served as Hokage will be characterized as the era of Konoha's evil rule."

"This is my answer to you. I know the civilians are innocent."

"But there's nothing we can do."

"If I don't take action, the Uchiha clan will be wiped out sooner or later."

"For the sake of the Uchiha caravan's share of the profits, and for the sake of your lovely disciple, I have no choice but to help your old man out."

"I had no choice!"

Uchiha Jin spoke in a somber tone.

He neither cleared his name nor smeared the Hokage.

There was only tranquility.

But it was precisely this bloody truth that dealt Itachi a nuclear blow.

Yes.

He was completely stunned.

The truth behind something I'd been pondering for so long and still couldn't understand was actually so simple?

"Why?" Itachi asked, his voice tinged with pain. "The world shouldn't be like this."

"Can't we all live together peacefully?"

Uchiha Jin remained silent.

Seeing Itachi's pained expression, he did not try to comfort him.

Because, this is his choice!

If he didn't ask any questions and instead acted like a normal child, then Jhin would certainly want him to grow up happily.

But, no.

He was too talented, and too naive.

To prevent Itachi from following the same path, he had no choice but to tell him the truth.

Even if the truth is filled with stench and bloodshed.

He remained silent for a moment.

He only spoke again after Itachi had calmed down.

"Although I don't mean to discourage you, 687, it is my duty as your teacher to impart knowledge and resolve your doubts."

"I can only tell you, no!"

"Reality is cruel; the resources of the entire ninja world are limited."

"Is Konoha willing to hand over the rich Land of Fire to the poor Land of Wind and Land of Water without any compensation?"

"Are you willing to give away the Uchiha clan's wealth to other ninja clans free of charge?"
