Uchiha Izumi looked up at the sky amid everyone's doubts and said:
"The main reason why I chose to let Konoha go was because of Haruno Sakura. Because she plans to lead Konoha to the universe and make you Konoha ninjas the pioneers of the space age. This is of great significance to human civilization. It is so important that even if I hate Konoha to the core, I must choose to let Konoha go. After all, the hatred of a family is really not worth mentioning compared to the future of human civilization."
After these words came out, many Konoha ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment. Especially Uzumaki Naruto, the expression on his face at this moment was just like what someone once said about him, pure and simple.
Obviously, with his knowledge, he was simply unable to understand the significance of the universe to human civilization. After all, he was extremely feudal and conservative at heart, and was quite opposed to Haruno Sakura's pioneering space program.
Especially after he got the power of the Six Paths Sage and felt that he was capable of protecting Konoha, he relied on his mouth to gain the approval of most people in Konoha and forced Haruno Sakura to slow down the space program and suspend the investment of resources in related programs. So he simply couldn't understand why a powerful ninja like Uchiha Izumi would let Konoha go for a space program of escape nature.
Of course, Uchiha Izumi was not interested in explaining to him the meaning of the universe to humans. She just looked at the Konoha ninjas around her with interest and chuckled:
"And there is one more thing. Do you think that even if I choose to let Konoha go, others will be as magnanimous as me? Don't you realize that Konoha's current situation in the Land of Fire is actually the same as the situation of our Uchiha clan in Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen exterminated our Uchiha clan by pressing us step by step, and the top leaders of the Land of Fire actually want to follow suit and let your Konoha face the same fate."
As soon as these words came out, the Konoha ninjas present were shocked again, because Uchiha Izumi's judgment at this time was almost exactly the same as Haruno Sakura's judgment of the situation before.
"That's impossible. Would the Fire Nation's top leaders attack ordinary villagers of Konoha?" Uzumaki Naruto said in surprise.
"It's not a question of if or not, but they are already ready to do it!"
As he spoke, the smile on Uchiha Izumi's face gradually turned cold:
"I'll tell you the truth! The Fire Country has secretly dispatched an army of 70,000 ninjas and stationed them around Konoha Village, blocking all exits from Konoha. Once the Water Country is destroyed, these 70,000 strong armies will rush forward and kill all 200,000 of you Konoha's people."
"No, no..." Uzumaki Naruto muttered to himself. Obviously, he felt the despair of reality again after losing his power. The 70,000 well-trained ninja army could carry out a large-scale fire bombing on Konoha. It only took half a day, and none of the remaining 200,000 villagers in Konoha would be alive.
Just when all the Konoha ninjas and villagers were in despair, Uchiha Izumi said again:
"But you don't have to be so desperate. Don't you still have Haruno Sakura's space plan? As long as you, Konoha, migrate to the universe and disconnect the space transmission coordinates with the ninja world, what can the Fire Nation do to you? Can the Fire Nation's army still reach outer space?"
Hearing Uchiha Izumi's words, many Konoha ninjas breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, we can still escape to outer space!
It can be turned and humane:
"Wait, because of Naruto, it seems that we have suspended our investment in the space program! Now the space immigration plan has not been fully completed. Titan's barrier range and food reserves can only accommodate 20,000 people at most."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it!" Uchiha Izumi spread his hands and said:
"Of the 20 people in Konoha Village, only 2 can migrate to space, which means the remaining 18 are destined to be sacrificed. So the question is, who is qualified to be the 20 out of 2? The survival rate is ten to one. Everyone in Konoha, work hard to survive!"
Just like the whispers of a devil, Uchiha Izumi revealed the cruel reality that Konoha was facing.
Due to the urgency of time and the obstruction of Uzumaki Naruto, only one-tenth of the people in Konoha's space program can survive at this time, and the remaining nine-tenths of the Konoha village are destined to be sacrificed.
What does this mean?
This means that Konoha has now become a cruel survival game arena.
All the villagers in Konoha Village are players in this survival game. And every Konoha villager is also an obstacle to the survival of other Konoha villagers. Only by killing as many villagers as possible can the players of this game continuously improve the chances of survival for themselves and their families.
Under the pressure of suspicion and survival, the villagers of Konoha will inevitably turn into beasts. In the blood and violence, they abandon their ideals, beliefs, ridiculous will of fire, and any trust in each other, and fight and compete by any means, just for one goal: to survive!
After figuring out all this, a Konoha ninja immediately shouted angrily:
"Uchiha Izumi, you devil!"
Chapter 97 The One Who Really Destroyed Konoha
When Uchiha Izumi heard someone calling him a devil, he felt it was unfair.
Although he had attacked Konoha many times, he had actually killed very few Konoha ninjas. The reason why Konoha had become what it is now was ultimately due to the sins committed by Konoha itself.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not ordered Uchiha Itachi to burn down the capital of the Land of Fire, how could there be such terrifyingly powerful flames on Fukuhara Hiroyo, who was summoned by Uchiha Izumi?
If the ninjas of Konoha had not wantonly massacred civilians in the ninja world, not even sparing the Uchiha clan belonging to Konoha, how could Uchiha Izumi use the Impure World Reincarnation to launch a large-scale attack on Konoha by the Impure World civilians?
By the same token, if Konoha had not acted recklessly within the Land of Fire and the Root had not committed atrocities everywhere in the Ninja World, how could Konoha be so hated and despised by everyone in the Land of Fire and be unanimously demanded to be wiped out?
……
Uchiha Izumi did attack Konoha repeatedly, but all her methods were just a matter of time, returning the sins that Konoha had committed to Konoha itself. If Konoha had been more restrained when it was strong and reduced the casualties of civilians, Konoha would not have been in the desperate situation it is now.
And to be honest, all this was the fault of the first Hokage.
Because for a chaotic world, only unification is the real ending. And unification means that among all the players in the chaotic world, only one can laugh at the end. If you don't work hard to be the only winner, then you will only end up as a loser. So the first generation of Hokage chose to give up when he could unify, which was actually equivalent to abandoning the future of Konoha.
Konoha's current tragic ending was actually already destined when the first Hokage distributed the tailed beasts!
Therefore, Uchiha Izumi has no mercy on Konoha, nor does she need to make special plans for revenge. She only needs to go with the flow at the right time, and Konoha will usher in the most tragic result. Because the root of all these causes and effects was planted as early as the first generation of Hokage.
But even Uchiha Izumi didn't expect that Konoha would end up playing such a big game and create a survival battle royale for themselves. This bloody scene of 20 people slaughtering each other for the survival of 2 people is much more cruel than the scene of Konoha's destruction that Uchiha Izumi himself imagined.
In the final analysis, this is all your own fault.
And it wasn't just Uchiha Izumi. Sasuke beside her also felt that this was too cruel. Although Sasuke also had many complaints about Konoha, there were still many good friends here. So when he heard that the situation inside Konoha was so critical, Sasuke, who was still kind at heart, suddenly said:
"Sister Izumi, can I ask you for a favor?"
As he spoke, Sasuke looked at Naruto and the others and said:
"Although I don't acknowledge that some of them are my companions, after all, we have been together for several years, and they have been pretty nice to me most of the time. So after this incident is over, can you take them away from Konoha?"
Uchiha Izumi followed Sasuke's gaze and saw that he was looking at the Twelve Young Warriors in the original work. Now, except for Haruno Sakura, the other Twelve Young Warriors are actually here. Inuzuka Kiba is still glaring at Uchiha Izumi because Akamaru was captured. Seeing these backbones of the younger generation of Konoha, Uchiha Izumi nodded and said:
"Well, after all, I was their teacher for half a year. For the sake of our friendship, saving their lives at the critical moment is nothing more than a piece of cake."
After saying that, Uchiha Izumi looked at the Twelve Little Strongmen and said:
"So you little brats, thank Sasuke for his kindness! You don't have to participate in a life-or-death survival game like the other Konoha villagers. With my strength, I can definitely protect you from the Fire Country's pursuit and allow you to continue living in the Ninja World. Of course, there will probably be no ninjas in the Ninja World in the future. How you guys can survive in the outside world depends on you!"
After saying that, Uchiha Izumi took Sasuke away from here and walked towards Uchiha Itachi.
After walking a few steps, Uchiha Izumi suddenly said to Sasuke:
"Sasuke, do you know what you just did?"
Before Sasuke could react, Uchiha Izumi said:
"When everyone has to fight for survival, there are a few people who can survive without paying any price. And they don't live away from home, but continue to live in the familiar ninja world. Do you know what this kind of privilege will bring?"
Sasuke was shocked when these words came out.
"Sister Quan, do you mean that I just added unnecessary details?"
"No. I think your approach will really make your companions distance themselves from Konoha. This is actually a good thing. Otherwise, even if I offer my protection, other people in the ninja world will not truly trust them. Only when their hands are stained with the blood of their companions and they become true aliens in this ninja world, will the top leaders of the Land of Fire give them a way to live."
"Just like your brother, Uchiha Itachi!"
what?
At this moment, Sasuke realized that what he had just said was actually forcing his companions to follow the path his brother had taken. That was to use the lives of his companions in Konoha to gain the recognition of the top leaders of the Fire Country outside!
Things did not go beyond Uchiha Izumi's expectations.
When the other ninjas and villagers of Konoha knew that the twelve ninjas, who were Sasuke's companions, could easily survive, everyone looked at them differently. Whether it was jealousy, resentment, venting, or simply hysteria due to despair, most of Konoha drew a line between themselves and them.
The Twelve Ninjas of Konoha naturally received the protection of a small number of elite ninjas because they included Uzumaki Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, Hinata Hyuga, a daughter of a big family, and Shikamaru Nara, a young clan leader. So soon after Uchiha Izumi and others left, Konoha, which was already plagued by internal and external troubles, immediately divided into two distinct factions.
They are the minority elite faction headed by the Twelve Little Ninjas, and the majority faction which consists of most of the remaining civilian ninjas.
Although the number of the elite minority is small, their overall strength cannot be underestimated because they include Kage-level masters such as Kakashi and Jiraiya. The majority faction also popularized the Uzumaki clan's bloodline limits because of the bloodline cold, and they are not all weak chickens that can be slaughtered by Kage-level masters. So when the two confronted each other, they were evenly matched for a while.
Obviously, the special treatment of the Twelve Little Strongmen was just a prelude to the confrontation between the minority elite and the majority. What really triggered the confrontation between the two sides was the long-standing contradictions within Konoha!
“Has it become like this?”
As the core of the elite minority, Nara Shikamaru looked at the majority of Konoha ninjas standing against them and said with a headache:
"Destiny is as unpredictable as a floating cloud!"
As he spoke, Shikamaru said to Uzumaki Naruto who was still a little confused behind him:
"I'm sorry, Naruto, you may not be able to become Hokage. Not only can you not become Hokage, you may even become a part of the destruction of Konoha!"
Not only Naruto, but most of the people related to the Twelve Little Strongmen were sighing at the fickleness of fate. Just now they were fighting to protect Konoha, but now they have become the ones who truly destroyed Konoha!
Chapter 98 If You Don’t Want to Kill, I Will Do It
Not long after, an unprecedented bloody war broke out within Konoha.
The cruelty of this war was beyond everyone's imagination, so much so that Uchiha Izumi and Sasuke could smell the blood in the air even from the center of Konoha Village.
"As expected, the internal fighting within a faction is often the most brutal war in the world."
Listening to the shouts and screams coming from his ears, Uchiha Izumi sighed.
When Sasuke heard the noise behind him, he subconsciously looked back, obviously worried about Uzumaki Naruto.
Only after they arrived at the former Uchiha clan's territory did Sasuke calm down and begin to focus all his attention on the upcoming battle.
Uchiha Izumi saw Sasuke open the familiar door, walked into the entrance, and relied on his memory to come to Uchiha Itachi's room at home. After opening the door, Uchiha Itachi was there.
At this time, he was completely blind, and his body became very weak due to the overdraw of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Hearing the footsteps of Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi, he slowly stood up and said to the two:
"You're finally here."
Seeing Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi remained silent, only Sasuke stepped forward and said:
"I'm here to kill you."
"I know." Uchiha Itachi nodded, then listened to the shouting and killing sounds coming from afar, and asked in confusion:
"What happened in the village? Is the Fire Nation finally preparing to take action against Konoha?"
"It's not the Land of Fire, it's a war within Konoha!" Sasuke said:
"It turns out that this village is not worth protecting. Under the huge external threat, it has become quite ugly. Just to survive, the villagers of Konoha have begun to slaughter each other."
After hearing Sasuke's explanation, Uchiha Itachi was so excited that he started coughing. After the coughing finally subsided, Uchiha Itachi smiled and said:
"I never thought it would be like this. Is Konoha's interior so rotten? Haha, if I had known this would happen, I would have helped my father rebel!"
"It turns out that you did make the wrong choice." Uchiha Izumi said:
"The Konoha high-ranking officials headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen have long been corrupt. The Uchiha clan's actions were not only to save themselves, but also to save Konoha. You and Shisui's actions of blindly protecting the high-ranking officials have pushed Konoha into the abyss of destruction."
"So, Shisui and I are the real culprits behind the destruction of Konoha?" Uchiha Itachi said self-deprecatingly:
"This world is so ironic! The Uchiha who only care about seizing power are the ones who can really save Konoha. And we who only care about the overall situation end up pushing Konoha to its demise. The Third Hokage said that I have some Hokage thinking... Now it seems that, let alone me, even the Third Hokage doesn't have any Hokage thinking!"
At this moment, the blind Uchiha Itachi could see more clearly than ever before. He muttered almost madly:
"The Hokage's thinking and the Will of Fire are nothing but a hoax. The Uchiha are finished, Konoha is finished, everything is finished... But just when Konoha is about to perish, the ninja world is about to be unified and usher in true peace... Hehe, what are Shisui and I fighting for? What is the meaning of our sacrifice..."
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi sat dejectedly on the tatami, repeating his absurd life over and over again like a madman.
Sasuke, who was originally full of anger, looked at Uchiha Itachi like this, but suddenly lost interest in revenge. Because now Uchiha Itachi has lost all the meaning of life. The things he wanted to protect were destroyed by himself, and the things he pursued all his life were achieved by himself, but what he did was meaningless to the world.
Uchiha Itachi is an extremely selfish person, and what he fears most is this meaninglessness!
Because meaninglessness denied his self and the arrogance in his heart, making him realize that he was not a genius, nor a savior, and even less great. His sacrifice was not worth it at all, which almost denied the foundation of his existence.
Seeing Uchiha Itachi who had lost his soul, Sasuke didn't know what to do. He had originally planned to fight a life-and-death duel with Uchiha Itachi, and then defeat him in a desperate battle to avenge his parents and clan. But now it seems that Uchiha Itachi has already lost his fighting spirit, and his body is too weak to fight him.
"Sister Quan, what should I do?"
Sasuke said confusedly.
"Kill him."
Uchiha Izumi said:
"Itachi Uchiha's soul is already dead, and his physical condition has deteriorated due to lack of care. Even if you don't kill him, he won't live for a few days. Killing him will help him get rid of his worries."
"Is that so?" Sasuke pondered for a moment, then turned and left the room.
"Won't you kill him?" Uchiha Izumi asked.
"Since killing him would help him get rid of his guilt, why should I kill him?"
"But if you don't kill him, how can you awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Uchiha Izumi asked again.
"Even if I awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, so what?" Sasuke sighed.
"Let alone the Mangekyō. Even if you have obtained the power of the Sage of Six Paths like Naruto, wouldn't you still be defeated by you, Sister Izumi? From the fight between you and Naruto just now, I already understood. No matter how strong the power of bloodline is, it is just that. If I want to truly reach your level, Sister Izumi, I must give up my reliance on the Sharingan."
Hearing Sasuke's answer, Uchiha Izumi nodded with satisfaction and sighed:
"Sasuke, you look like a real ninja now!"
