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

Should we take him home?

There’s really no need!

The children in the Naruto world and the children in the previous life are two different concepts.

Don't even mention going home alone, he dared to kill someone when he was only four years old.

"Teacher, besides ninjutsu," Itachi Uchiha began, "may I ask you other questions?"

Uchiha Jin remained calm.

He could even guess the answers to Itachi's questions.

This problem child is portrayed vividly in the original work.

In order to better enjoy his life as a lazy bum in the future, he wouldn't mind changing Itachi's mindset.

Otherwise, if we let him go further and further down the wrong path, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause in the future.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly.

Come to my house.

"Judging from your serious expression, it seems like this won't be resolved anytime soon."

"Of course, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately shook his head and said, "Let's go straight to Sensei's house."

He was in a hurry.

Since returning from the Fog Concealment battlefield, he has been troubled by many problems.

He wouldn't be able to sleep well even if he went back, until he got a definite answer.

soon.

The two arrived at Jin's house again and sat down at the coffee table for guests.

Uchiha Jin reached out and poured a cup of tea for the two of them before speaking in a low voice.

"Okay, let's talk."

"As your teacher, it is my duty to answer your questions and resolve your doubts."

"I'll tell you everything I know." (Door)

Chapter 71 Peaceful Coexistence: On What Basis?

Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a moment.

After taking a deep breath, he looked at Uchiha Jin.

Without the slightest hesitation, he recounted every single one of his experiences on the battlefield.

Finally, in conclusion.

"Teacher, why?"

"I've never understood why people go to war."

"Can't we just live together peacefully?"

"The same applies to Konoha and other ninja villages, and also to Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

"Why can't we all sit down and resolve this dispute in a more peaceful way?"

"Is hatred truly unstoppable?"

Itachi's face was full of pain.

Looking at his small face, even though he knew how ruthless this guy was in the original story, Uchiha Jin still felt a little sorry for him.

He's only four years old!

He couldn't help but pat Itachi's head, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Don't suffer like this, Itachi!"

“I didn’t want to talk about such a serious issue with a kid like you.”

"But I can tell."

“You’re no ordinary child. At such a young age, you’re already thinking about such profound questions.”

"If we can't instill correct values ​​in you, then it's certain that you will go astray in the future."

Uchiha Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Yes!

Whose four-year-old child is pondering these philosophical questions?

Let alone those young people in their twenties in the past who were still playing games and flirting with girls, even in a chaotic world like Naruto, the goal of a four or five-year-old child at most is to become the Hokage.

With such profound thinking, Itachi Uchiha is truly unique in the entire Naruto series.

He knew this matter couldn't be taken lightly.

and so.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke softly.

"Itachi, I have a question for you."

Why do you think wolves eat sheep?

"Did the sheep provoke the wolf? The sheep is honest and law-abiding, so why should the wolf eat it?"

"Don't you think this wolf is absolutely wicked?"

"Also, why do sheep eat grass?"

"The grass was growing just fine, and it didn't bother the sheep at all."

Why should sheep eat other people?

Itachi was stunned.

His mind went blank as he stared in astonishment at Uchiha Jin.

He had never considered this question.

Hearing what Jin said, his mind went completely blank.

Yes!

What did the sheep do wrong?

But wait.

It doesn't seem right!

He reacted quickly, immediately shaking his head and speaking.

"Teacher, that's not right!" Itachi couldn't help but speak up: "Wolves eating sheep is their nature, but that doesn't prove anything."

"This is completely different from the question I asked!"

Uchiha Jin remained calm.

He never thought he could easily persuade Itachi, so after hearing his rebuttal, he immediately spoke again.

"Don't worry about this for now."

"Answer my question first."

"Why?"

"The sheep that get eaten by wolves, the grass that gets eaten by sheep, do you think they are wronged?"

Itachi Uchiha had a furrowed brow.

Although he felt something was off, since his teacher had said so, he had no choice but to start thinking about it.

After a long time, there was no answer.

So all he could say was, "It's their nature. Wolves will starve if they don't eat sheep, and sheep will starve if they don't eat grass."

"Yes, you're very smart." Uchiha Jin said with a smile, "That's actually the answer."

"You ask me why there are wars, why people can't live in peace?"

"You've already given the answer."

“I’ll starve to death!”

Itachi looked completely bewildered.

Is this the answer?

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't understand.

To know is to know, and to know is not to know.
