This is what brought peace to Konoha Village.

Ryosuke couldn't understand why Itachi thought it was all thanks to the Third Hokage.

Perhaps I was brainwashed by the toxic teaching materials used at the ninja academy.

Ryosuke was convinced.

The Third Hokage really knows how to cultivate a glorious image for himself; he's shamelessly called the strongest Hokage in the Ninja Academy textbooks.

If he is the strongest Hokage, then where should we rank the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, the master of forbidden techniques Tobirama Senju?

I wonder what these two people would think if they heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi was called the strongest Hokage.

From Itachi's words, we can tell that he has been brainwashed by the Will of Fire.

With such reverence for the Third Hokage, it's no wonder that after Danzo falsely claimed to have the Third Hokage's order for Itachi to exterminate the Uchiha clan, he carried it out without the slightest hesitation.

Ryosuke is feeling a bit powerless right now; he doesn't have Naruto's talent for talking his way out of things.

It's a bit difficult to shake Itachi's current mindset.

But I still tried to say it.

“Itachi, you could actually stand on the side of the clan. After all, Danzo, a high-ranking member of Konoha, is an extremely evil person.”

"I'm sure someone like you can sense his attitude towards our clan, yet he keeps calling our Uchiha clan an evil clan."

"They even covet the power of the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan."

Before Ryosuke could finish speaking, Itachi Uchiha's face darkened.

Although he disliked the ruthless Elder Danzo.

However, he genuinely admired the other party for doing dark things for Konoha.

It is precisely because of Elder Danzo's protection that Konoha is so peaceful.

Uchiha Ryosuke doesn't understand anything.

He spoke up angrily.

"Don't you know how much Lord Danzo has done for Konoha?"

"How many enemies were eliminated?"

"You dare to slander him like this?"

Ryosuke Uchiha was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that Danzo would be portrayed as such a glorious figure by Itachi Uchiha.

This is absolutely outrageous. No wonder Itachi Uchiha didn't hesitate to obey Danzo Shimura's orders and exterminate the Uchiha clan in the original story.

Ryosuke could sense that Itachi Uchiha was truly angry.

He sighed deeply. Such a brilliant genius of the Uchiha clan actually believed in Shimura Danzo.

Is this intelligence? This isn't even thinking about dogs!

This person has been brainwashed to the point of being brain-dead by the Will of Fire.

There's no end to the dirt on this guy in team fights.

Not only did he arrogantly inherit the Second Hokage's ideology, believing that the Uchiha clan was inherently evil and a clan that would harm the village, but he also believed that they were not.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, he strongly advocated forcing the Uchiha clan to relocate their clan's territory away from the center of Konoha.

This step-by-step attack is really not afraid of forcing the Uchiha clan to rebel.

Even now, the opponent's right hand, which is bandaged, and right eye both conceal the Sharingan.

He claims the Uchiha clan is evil, yet he covets their power. What a hypocrite!

Uchiha Itachi, however, regarded such a person as an object of respect, which left Uchiha Ryosuke unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Not knowing if Itachi Uchiha could be saved, he decided to drop another bombshell.

"I won't argue with you about what kind of person Shimura Danzo really was."

"If a serious conflict were to break out between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan, and the Konoha leadership demanded that you exterminate the Uchiha clan, including Uchiha Izumi, what would you do then?"

Ryosuke hoped that this bombshell would help Itachi Uchiha regain his senses after being poisoned by his ideas.

Uchiha Izumi must still be very important to Itachi. Hopefully, this person can help Itachi realize what it is that the other person should protect.

Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted upon hearing Ryosuke's words, shocked and furious at the same time.

What the other party said was really unrealistic.

He became the Hokage's spy in order to ease tensions between his clan and the Konoha leadership and protect the village's safety.

How could they possibly wipe out the entire family? Even worse, they might target Izumi.

The benevolent three generations would never order him to do such a thing.

He doesn't have that ability either.

Ryosuke Uchiha suffers from severe paranoia and his thinking is too extreme.

It is even more extreme than the ideas of radicals.

Even the radicals dared not imagine that the Uchiha clan would be wiped out.

The merciful Third Hokage would not allow this to happen.

That would not benefit the village at all.

Ryosuke looked at Itachi Uchiha with a serious expression.

"Don't get angry right away. If you were in this situation, what would you do?"

Itachi naturally wouldn't answer the hypothetical question about forgiveness; it would be meaningless.

If all the Uchiha clan members are like this, then he feels there's no need to protect the clan; protecting Konoha would be more meaningful.

The Uchiha clan is far too narrow-minded. Ninjas should prioritize the village, not their own clan.

Even if he had such thoughts, there was no need to explain them to the other party, so he slowly calmed down his anger.

"That's an impossible question. I won't answer questions about things that can't happen."

Chapter 21 Is Konoha still Konoha without the Uchiha?

Ryosuke felt a little disappointed by Itachi Uchiha's answer.

Even if it were Izumi's life, wouldn't that make the other party immediately agree to protect the family?

It seems the other party is truly beyond stupid; they've been brainwashed too severely by the Will of Fire.

For ordinary people, when faced with a childhood friend and a bunch of people with no blood relation, is there even a question of who to fight for?

That's a no-brainer.

Itachi is arrogant, thinking he's some kind of saint.

He was very disappointed with the outcome of this exchange.

After all, he's not Naruto; he doesn't have the power of a master of persuasion.

But he had to say one more thing.

"Uchiha Itachi, I have one more thing to say to you."

"Is Konoha still Konoha without the Uchiha clan?"

"Think carefully about this sentence."

"I'm leaving first."

Uchiha Ryosuke, who was already exhausted from training, had planned to go home, wash up properly, and then rest.

He only intended to correct Itachi's thinking after seeing him arrive.

They tried to salvage Itachi, an Uchiha boy who had been poisoned by the ideology of Konoha's higher-ups.

If the other party remains obstinate, they will be completely wiped out on the night of the extermination.

After all, he is now a member of the Uchiha clan, so if the other party dares to do what happened in the original story...

Itachi Uchiha was naturally on Ryosuke's kill list.

As Itachi Uchiha watched Ryosuke's departing figure, his expression gradually turned cold.

Konoha without the Uchiha clan is still Konoha.

Konoha is not the home of the Uchiha clan.

Ryosuke's thinking is so arrogant and narrow-minded.

Konoha belongs to all the families.

Where leaves dance in the air, fire burns eternally. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout.

These are the words of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage and God of the Ninja World, who died from exhaustion while saving the village.

Itachi Uchiha aspired to become that kind of person.

Not long after, Izumi returned with her kunai. Seeing that it was only Uchiha Itachi standing there, she asked in confusion.

"Has Ryosuke already gone back?"
