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

In fact, he has been thinking about this for the past few days.

If Itachi couldn't hold back and asked, how was I supposed to explain this to him?

After much deliberation, he made his decision.

be honest!

Lies cannot last.

Sooner or later, their true colors will be exposed, and when that day comes, it will be the day their master turns against them.

So it's better to just tell the truth.

just now.

Seeing that Itachi finally couldn't help but ask, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke softly.

"I will tell you the answer to this question later."

"Now think about why the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, entrusted the police department to our Uchiha clan?"

"You know, he hates the Uchiha clan to death."

"Back when Konoha wasn't even founded, Hashirama and Tobirama had three younger brothers, all of whom died at the hands of our Uchiha clan."

Even after Konoha was established, Tobirama Senju always referred to us as the evil Uchiha!

"Later, Madara Uchiha's departure further heightened his wariness of the Uchiha to an unparalleled level."

"Under these circumstances, he still gave the police department to the Uchiha."

"Why do you think that is?"

Uchiha Jin spoke softly.

Considering that the people in this ninja world do not value historical education and inheritance.

and so.

He first briefly explained to Itachi the feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans, especially the reasons why Tobirama Senju hated the Uchiha, before raising his own question.

Itachi looked completely bewildered.

So, is that so?

The first two Hokage even had three younger brothers.

Yet they still died at the hands of the Uchiha, so it makes sense that Tobirama Senju hated the Uchiha.

but why?

If they hated the Uchiha so much, why did they hand over the powerful police department to them?

After pondering for a long time, he still shook his head.

"I don't know," Itachi said directly. "Please enlighten me, teacher."

Uchiha Jin nodded.

He didn't expect Itachi to be able to answer; he just hoped that this explanation would allow Itachi to understand more deeply the hidden grudges and entanglements within the village.

This will ensure that he won't be easily fooled in the future.

This is enough!

With that in mind, he spoke up directly.

"First and foremost, the Senju owe the Uchiha a debt!"

"Although the Hashirama brothers had three younger brothers, they died at the hands of the Uchiha."

"But at the same time."

"Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, also died at the hands of the Senju clan."

"The millennia-long feud between the two races is essentially a murky affair."

"There's nothing to say about this."

"Do you think Madara, as the head of the Uchiha clan at the time, wouldn't hate Hashirama and Tobirama for killing their younger brother?"

"I can say with certainty, I absolutely hate it!"

"But Madara was persuaded by Hashirama and eventually formed Konoha with him."

"The 'wood' of the Senju clan and the 'leaf' of the Uchiha clan—that's actually the origin of Konoha Village."

"But you know Madara's character. When Konoha was electing the First Hokage, naturally no ninja clan would have wanted Madara to be elected."

"So Hashirama promised that the Second Hokage would be from the Uchiha clan..."

"But, unfortunately."

"Even after Hashirama dies, the second generation of Uchiha will still be Tobirama Senju."

"The Senju clan broke their promise, which is why they handed over the police department to the Uchiha."

"Actually, we Uchiha are stupid."

"You should know that the authority of the police department is actually ridiculously large. If it can be manipulated well, even the Hokage would have a hard time resisting it."

"After all, the police department holds legislative power, the power to interrogate and arrest, and the power to subsequently try cases."

"You, think about it."

"The police department has the authority to amend Konoha's laws."

"To say you're guilty and you're guilty—what a huge right that is!"

"That's why the Uchiha clan accepted it in the first place. Otherwise, how could the Senju clan's breach of promise be so easily forgiven?"

"However, the Uchiha clan is too stupid."

"I never realized that the police department possessed such immense power, and it has been turned into the bottom of the seven major departments in Konoha."

"The original responsibilities of the police department have been almost completely divided up by the secret service, the interrogation and torture department, and the administration department."

"You can't blame the Senju clan for this. After all, they've already given the power to you, Uchiha. It's just that you, Uchiha, don't know how to play the game."

"But, the second point."

"And more importantly, the police department also set a trap for the Uchiha."

"Although the police department has ridiculously large powers, it is also the department closest to ordinary people at the bottom of society."

“The common people at the bottom are ignorant and have a very serious herd mentality.”

"Because they have little access to information from higher levels, they are easily swayed by what others say."

"The Uchiha are an arrogant clan."

"The Uchiha clan disdains explanations, so they often do more harm than good."

"In addition, the higher-ups in Konoha spread some rumors, which led to the Uchiha's reputation getting worse and worse."

"This is the complex web of grudges and affections between the Konoha Village leadership, the police department, the Uchiha clan, and the Senju clan."

"Try to understand these things first, and then I will answer your question."

"This is also something I want to teach you: don't look at things superficially, but analyze their essence and look at problems with a dialectical mindset."

"Everything in this world is very complicated."

"Without a thorough understanding of the causes and consequences, you can easily arrive at an answer that is completely opposite to the truth."

"...".

Chapter 107 Jin's Heartfelt Teaching Shatters Itachi's Morals!

Uchiha Jin patiently and persuasively guided him.

For a child prodigy like Itachi, one cannot fool him, otherwise he will easily be fooled by the enemy.

But more importantly, you need to be patient!

Even if he is a genius, he is still young and his mind is not yet fully developed.

and so.

If you want him to truly understand these things, you have to break them down and explain them in detail; otherwise, he simply won't be able to grasp what you mean.

But there was nothing we could do!

In order to prevent this "filial son" from going down the path described in the original story.

As a teacher, all he could do was talk more.

There's nothing we can do about it!

Who told Fugaku, the father, to be such a good father but utterly useless when it comes to raising children?

Meanwhile, on the other side...
