But ever since he heard about the influence of the Will of Fire on Uchiha Itachi in the Kamui Space, he began to think deeply about this concept he had been exposed to since childhood when he had nothing to do.
"I have been thinking these days that the Will of Fire is actually an ideological purpose that calls for sacrifice, has the courage to sacrifice, honors sacrifice, and even makes mythical sacrifice.
"Speaking of which, isn't the caged bird on your forehead the perfect embodiment of the will of fire?"
Uchiha Sasuke analyzed Neji.
Hinata Neji nodded.
Although he did not see the essence of "The Will of Fire" as clearly as Sasuke, but based on the situation of the separated family and his own long-term position, it was indeed difficult for Neji to have much identification with the Will of Fire.
Is it possible that we really have to be like some old antiques who have been separated from their families and still have a sense of nobility while being a slave?
Cheap or not!
"So, what do you think about this thing?"
Neji wanted to hear Sasuke's thoughts again.
"The Ninja Village, as a military organization that focuses on combat, often faces a very fierce game environment. Under such a background, the fight to the end is likely to be about who is tough enough.
"In other words, an organization that takes the initiative to sacrifice, is willing to sacrifice, and has people who sacrifice, is the organization that can win in the end and is ruthless enough."
"Reflected in the game, it means having the ability to greatly utilize efficiency and the ability to optimize and coordinate resource allocation. These capabilities will eventually be reflected in the game pattern and are a manifestation of real combat effectiveness."
"According to what you say, the will of fire is necessary for its existence?"
Hyuga Neji had never thought so much before, and at this time, inspired by Sasuke, he officially began to think deeply.
"From the perspective of Lord Hokage, and even the high-level rulers of Konoha, this is indeed the case. It is useful, and it is of great use.
"But when it comes to the Uchiha clan and your Hyuga clan, that's not the case at all."
As the saying goes, a grain of ashes of the times is like a mountain when it falls on an individual.
Six months ago, Sasuke was suspected of colluding with Orochimaru for an inexplicable reason, and was finally detained by ANBU.
Although this encounter did not last long, it made him understand that the Konoha Hidden Ninja Village, which seemed to be stable and peaceful for a long time, might show its fangs to him under certain circumstances.
This special experience had a big impact on his young mind.
Before that, he also believed that matters involving the safety of the village needed to be stricter.
However, when the suspicion pointed at him, the tremendous pressure made Sasuke understand——
The premise of doing whatever it takes is that you have not become that price in the first place.
Regarding this point, Hyuga Neji, a member of the Hyuga branch who was destined to be consumable since birth, has a strong resonance in his heart.
"The Fourth Hokage, and even the Second Hokage, they all used their lives to implement the Will of Fire. When they had the choice, they chose to give up the chance of survival to others, making themselves the ones who sacrificed. .”
"This kind of person is a saint. However, the problem with the Will of Fire lies here. Do you think there are more saints or more mortals in this world?"
Sasuke asked.
Neji didn't answer.
Such a question really needs no answer at all.
“If we were all mortals, each of us would tremble in our hearts when facing death.
"Then when it comes time to implement the Will of Fire, which one to sacrifice will no longer depend on the level of consciousness, but will become a naked comparison of strength.
"Under such circumstances, the Will of Fire becomes a weapon in the hands of the strong and their biggest accomplice in oppressing and exploiting the weak!"
In Neji's mind, he suddenly remembered Hinata Hinashi's deep confession to him one day in front of his father's memorial tablet.
//
"Your father is the person who implemented the will of fire. He protected the Byakugan of our Hyuga clan. He protected the interests of Konoha."
"He is Konoha's hero! We will always remember him."
//
At that time, Neji just felt irritated and painful, but every word the other person said was good, and it seemed that he should not be ignorant or ungrateful.
At this moment, after Sasuke pointed out the problem of the Will of Fire, he remembered the scene again.
A strong feeling of vomiting churned in Neji's stomach.
For the first time, he clearly felt that "singing praises" turned out to be such a disgusting thing.
Ningji took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down.
No matter what, Sasuke must become Hokage first before everything will change.
After a while, Neji broke the silence between the two and said:
"However, you must understand that the Will of Fire is the highest concept and ideological standard in the current Konoha Hidden Ninja Village. The degree of recognition of it is also a key criterion for whether a person can become Hokage."
Based on a realistic stance, Neji reminded:
"Even if you don't recognize him in your heart, you must be patient and hide it. Otherwise, it may take a long time for the ideal world you mentioned before to be truly realized."
Sasuke shook his head quietly and continued: "I have also thought about this issue.
"It's easy to deny something, but just being a critical critic doesn't really change anything.
"Today, the most important thing for us is not to break something or just hide our intentions.
“The most important thing is to find a substitute that everyone can agree on and is better than Will of Fire.
"Before that, blindly attacking or opposing the Will of Fire will only bring greater destruction to everyone in the village."
Neji looked at Sasuke quietly, and suddenly realized that he had only wanted to change his own destiny in the past.
As for other things related to Naruto, even at the village level, I almost didn't think too much about it.
From this point of view, compared to the companions in front of me, my field of vision is indeed relatively narrow.
In addition, Sasuke's true thoughts have never been revealed to him in such detail as he did today.
At a certain moment, Hyuga Neji even felt that he might not really understand this dream partner he had hand-picked before.
"what?"
Sasuke felt strange when he noticed that the other person was staring at him, and asked with a smile.
"nothing."
Neji also smiled and praised:
"It seems that you are really thinking actively and preparing to become Hokage.
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you already have the vision and thinking of the Hokage."
As he spoke, Neji thought to himself.
It seems that if you are a genius, no matter what you do, as long as you take it seriously, you will be more efficient than ordinary people.
Not only the practice of Ninjutsu, but also regarding the matter of ascending to the rank of Hokage, Sasuke's thinking is more essential, and the quality shown is indeed more in-depth and solid than the average careerist.
"Hey! Don't praise me like that! I feel like it's not a good thing to say."
Sasuke interrupted quickly.
I can't remember where I heard this comment.
But when he heard the words "Hokage thinking", Sasuke instinctively felt uncomfortable and didn't want to be associated with such a comment.
The two laughed and chatted for a while about the meaning of the new organization "branch" and the value it might have to themselves.
Regarding this kind of thing that has not been recorded in books and there are not enough examples for reference in reality, Hyuga Neji said that he was not sure.
However, after hearing that the personnel of the new organization might be selected from the "Root" organization, Neji became very interested in the conflicts and entanglements between the Fifth Hokage and Shimura Danzo.
Regarding the third option given by Jiraiya, the two just chatted for a while and did not come to a clear understanding.
"In short, no matter what the final result of these three choices is, it means that your status in the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village will be greatly improved once again."
As Hyuga Neji spoke, he couldn't help but sigh again:
"Oh, I have to hurry up and improve myself."
Looking at the ordinary and bustling village under the roof, Neji couldn't help but become eager about the next Chunin Exam.
"Last time I went to the Kingdom of Water, I didn't get the opportunity to learn water escape ninjutsu. It's really a pity."
Uchiha Sasuke was strolling along the Konoha River.
"It doesn't matter. Thanks to you, we are now closer allies to Kirigakure Ninja Village than Sunagakure Ninja Village."
Hinata Neji half-joked.
"Except for the forbidden arts at the bottom of the box, the exchange of ninjutsu between the two sides has been completely liberalized. In the future, there will be many opportunities."
At this moment, the two had just finished lunch and were yawning, each thinking about what they were going to do in the afternoon.
"Sasuke! So you are here! We are looking for you everywhere!"
In the distance, Uzumaki Naruto ran up to the two of them and spoke to Sasuke breathlessly.
"Sasuke-kun, how about lunch."
Behind Naruto, Haruno Sakura hurried over just as quickly.
"Ah, Neji is here too."
Haruno Sakura was seen twisting her arms awkwardly, acting like a lady as she greeted Sasuke and the other man.
"Ah? What happened?"
Seeing the two looking for him, Uchiha Sasuke asked in confusion.
"Oh! It's Kakashi! Kakashi-sensei has completed his mission and has returned to the village!"
Uzumaki Naruto adjusted the forehead protector on his head with his hand and spoke excitedly.
"Yeah?!"
Hearing the name of his mentor, Sasuke couldn't help but feel happy.
Immediately, he said goodbye to Neji in a hurry.
Afterwards, the three members of Team 7 gathered together again and hurried towards the Konoha Jonin Apartment where Kakashi lived.
