I sell sweets in Konoha

"Hahahaha~ I don't know." Junko said jokingly: "I've been a little busy lately, so I didn't count this thing at all."

"Only a dozen copies, you can't count them." Jiraiya said with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot: "You think I don't study enough."

"Is it easy to cheat?"

"I don't think you have read the book." Junko said sincerely.

"What?!" Jiraiya's face turned even darker.

"No, it's nothing." Junko changed her mind and said, "Maybe, probably, in another three or two days, it should be enough."

"Hmph!" Jiraiya snorted coldly and said, "You girl, show me your account book! What does it mean to be possible? Probably? Should? Still using it."

"You don't have the mentality to do business on your own?!"

"Eh..." Junko felt that she couldn't hide it. She didn't want to give the account book, but it was the first time that Jiraiya looked so serious and angry.

But he still handed over the account book to Jiraiya.

"Huh, you girl." Jiraiya took the account book and said, "I have really forgotten my identity. I was always urging me to teach you how to practice and teach you this..."

Jiraiya was mumbling as he looked through the ledger, but he shut his mouth after flipping through it twice.

After reading it carefully.

"Um..." Jiraiya frowned and said, "Girl...are you sure your account book is correct?"

When Junko heard this, she was shocked and said: "This... have you seen it? I deliberately left out a lot of false accounts?"

"Ah... hum..." Jiraiya widened his eyes and said, "That girl..."

Do you think it’s still too late for me to change my career recently?

Chapter 316 It’s too late to change now

Change is a problem, and taking sides is also a problem.

And this is still a very big problem!

You can choose to jump in line, but it's best not to stand in the wrong line, because once you stand in the wrong line, you can't just lick your face and say sorry and switch to another team easily.

Therefore, facing this kind of activity with the highest risk factor and the highest risk, of course it is also the highest reward.

Some people choose to be a Buddhist being sandwiched in the middle and neither team is there, while others want to bet on both ends.Of course, the biggest possibility for such a person is to lose completely.

Of course there may be another kind of person.

A very special kind of existence. He is neither a fence-sitter nor a Buddhist being. He is just an optimistic idealist.

I think I can do it!

For example, Uchiha Shisui.

"You are really optimistic." Itachi held a bottle of wine in his hand and a small plate of peanuts in front of him.He took a sip of wine from his own wine cup and said, "Continue to follow your own ideas? This is not a good thing."

"This is indeed not a good thing." Shisui also picked up the wine cup and said, "But someone has to do it."

"Just like this wine, we all know that a ninja must keep a clear head at all times."

"Drinking is not a good thing, but we still drink here."

"There are always some people who are addicted to alcohol."

This was Shisui's first time drinking. He was not a heavy drinker and had no particular interest in alcohol.It's just that at this special time today, he always felt that drinking a little wine could help him get rid of all the trouble in his heart.

He held the small wine cup and drank all the wine in his hand like his fathers and adults in the clan.

"Cough cough~"

Shisui coughed violently.

Probably because I drank it too fast and too hard, and I didn't think about what this thing should taste like.I thought it would be the same as the drinks.

But after taking it into his mouth, he found that this was not the case.

This wine~

It's burned, it's like a blazing flame stimulating your taste buds, but it doesn't burn like a hot pepper!The wine quickly spread in the mouth and flowed into the stomach along the throat unknowingly.

Immediately afterwards, the burning heat that penetrated the entire upper body was like a single step, making Shisui gasp for air.

"Hey~~~~" He let out a long breath.

It's very long, just like my father's generation who will definitely let out a sigh of relief after taking a sip of wine.

"Ah~"

When this feeling gradually subsided, Shisui slowly calmed down and said, "I probably understand why Junko drinks secretly, and why her father and other adults like to drink."

Although wine doesn't taste good, at least wine does feel like a way to relieve one's worries.

If nothing else, the breath that sounded like a long sigh really made Shisui's depressed mood a lot better.

Itachi took the wine cup and ignored him.

He didn't know how to drink. This was the first time he and Shisui drank together.

Maybe it will be the last time.

Danzo asked him to talk, which showed that things had entered the final stage.Konoha's arrangements for the Uchiha clan to rebel against the party have been basically completed, and even the executioner has been found.

Now I'm just waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

In contrast, for the Uchiha clan, the countdown to the rebellion plan has also come.

"I think sometimes it's time to let go of some illusions." Itachi also took a sip of the wine.But there was no deep breathing like Shisui.

He looked as if his face was flushed by alcohol and said: "Reality is always more fundamental than ideals."

"Shisui, you can't save everyone." Itachi sighed: "There are always some people who are stubborn and they won't listen to your persuasion."

Greed...

The evil in human nature!

Greed may be something that everyone cannot avoid, and greed is also rooted in everyone's heart.

Itachi did not consider himself to be a selfless and greedy person.

But seeing people of the same race go to extremes because of their endlessly expanding greed, and watching them pass on their unreasonable resentment to others because their own greed is not satisfied.

Watch them do such extreme things just to satisfy their greed.

Itachi was really scared!

Greed...

This greed destroyed them and the Uchiha!

"For Konoha or for Uchiha?" Shisui poured himself another glass of wine and asked suddenly.

"For Konoha, it's for Uchiha." Itachi replied almost without thinking.

"This is not only my answer, but also Junko's! She is the best person in the clan, and her excellence is not limited to her good bloodline."

"It's because she has a broader mind and tolerance than us and the Uchiha clan."

Itachi once felt that Junko's excellence was based on her luck, because she was the only direct descendant of Madara and the first generation.No one in the clan, or even in the entire Konoha Village, can compare to her in terms of blood or material.

It seems like she was born to be Hokage.

In terms of blood alone, no one is more suitable than her.

But what Itachi admired about Junko was not only her bloodline, but also her knowledge!

She understood what Hokage was before herself, before she jumped out of the narrow family interests, and before she could see the essence of peace more clearly.

She is the most outstanding talent of this generation!

none of them!

"Yes." Zhisui said while holding a wine cup: "She is indeed excellent and realistic enough. She has ideals and knows how to realize them."

"One step at a time, walking very steadily. In comparison, I am more like a dreamer hanging in the air."

"I have absolutely no way to realize my ideas when it comes to clan matters."

"It's so sad..."

Zhishui lamented, his heart was full of wounds.He knew what the Uchiha clan was about to face.

"But..." Shisui said painfully: "But this is our clan! He is not someone who has nothing to do with you and me! I hope that the Uchiha clan and Konoha can be of the same mind again."

"I didn't want to watch it come to this."

"I may not be that big-minded and decisive."

"Everything is for Konoha, and everything is for Uchiha."

This is Shisui's ideal. He hopes that such a thing will not happen. He hopes that the Uchiha clan and the village will not go to war.

He also hopes that those Uchiha who regard him as their main force can repent.

Can...

But it all seemed so futile, making all his efforts so far in vain!

How can Shisui feel happy like this? !

"There are some people you can't save." Itachi took a sip of wine and said, "Some things are their own choices. All we can do is strive for the best situation."

"Shisui, you've done a good enough job! You don't need to really involve yourself."

"..." Shisui took a sip of wine, put the glass on a small plate and said, "Are you here to be a lobbyist?"

"You should understand my thoughts and wishes! I'm different from them!"

"Yes." Itachi said calmly: "Because I know, I came to be this lobbyist. It is also because I know that I don't want to have a war with you!"

"I've made my final choice, and I hope you can too."

"We don't have much time, you should understand."

"Indulging in fantasy will destroy you."

"I know." Zhisui stood up and said, "Just wait, maybe I can still do something."

"Are you going to use your eyes?" Itachi asked, "Have you decided to use this here?"

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet." Shisui said.

I don’t know and I don’t want to know. Maybe it’s the last moment, but I still have a little bit of fantasy in my heart.

perhaps...

Maybe now is not the time to continue fantasizing.

Maybe it's really time to make a decision.

After saying goodbye to Itachi, Shisui walked towards his clan.He looked at the increasingly prosperous street scene of Konoha and felt particularly uncomfortable.

The external crisis has not yet completely passed, but the internal crisis is about to move from darkness to light, a crisis from one's own clan, a crisis caused by the greed of human nature.

It really gave him mixed feelings.

"You don't want to see it all ruined, do you?"

Suddenly a figure stood in front of Shisui.

"Danzo-sama?!" Shisui became a little nervous looking at the person in front of him. This spy chief would not just appear in front of someone casually.

"Don't be nervous!" Danzo said, leaning on his cane, "I don't have any other intention in coming here this time."

No other meaning?

Really do not have?

Zhisui noticed that the streets around him gradually became quieter, and the places that were a little lively now suddenly became so deserted.

This...

Doesn't it mean something to you?

"I just want to tell you something." Danzo said with half-closed eyes: "Do you know why Itachi went to persuade you?"

"Are you spying on us?" Shisui felt his heart tighten.
