Xiang Quan held out his palm, indicating that Quan should give him a kunai.

Izumi paused for a moment before realizing what was happening, and quickly handed Ryosuke a kunai from his backpack.

Then, just as Itachi Uchiha had just said, Ryosuke tilted his body slightly, controlled the direction of the kunai in his hand, and swung it out, landing steadily in the middle of the tree.

Quan said in surprise.

"Ryosuke-nii is amazing too."

Ryosuke couldn't help but smile.

"By the time you reach Chunin level, you'll be this skilled at kunai throwing. The method I just used was simply Itachi's method; it's quite impressive."

Uchiha Itachi was very puzzled when he heard his words, because the last time the other party faced him, he was like a bomb had been set off.

He was actually being praised now, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Ryosuke like this, Izumi was happy. Indeed, letting the two spend time together was the best way to ease the tension.

In the following time, Izumi began to train using the kunai in his backpack.

Even when throwing kunai according to Itachi's method, there are occasional malfunctions, with the kunai sometimes missing the target and flying deep into the forest.

He immediately felt annoyed.

"That was a huge mistake."

Itachi said, trying to comfort her.

"With more training, this situation will not occur."

Quan nodded, and then resumed training, quickly firing a whole backpack full of kunai.

He addressed Itachi and Ryosuke.

"I'll go find the kunai first."

Then, like a little rabbit, it darted into the woods.

Because a considerable number of kunai were shot inside her, her family's finances were not wealthy enough to allow them to discard all the lost kunai.

Therefore, it must be retrieved.

Only Ryosuke and Itachi Uchiha remained, and the scene instantly fell silent.

Seeing this, Ryosuke decided to speak up, since it was better not to let Izumi know what they were about to discuss.

Quan is not suited to discuss such important family matters.

This kind of thing is too complicated for a little girl; there's no need to put her in such a dilemma.

Ryosuke looked at Itachi Uchiha and said with a smile.

"If your family clashes with the village leadership, whose side will you take?"

Uchiha Itachi was shocked when he heard this, as he was now the Hokage's ANBU.

But in reality, he was sent by his father to spy on the Hokage and inform the family of information from the higher-ups.

In reality, he wouldn't do that. He had already agreed to become the village's spy within the Uchiha clan, leaking information about the clan to the higher-ups.

The Hokage promised to handle the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan properly.

He did all this to maintain peace in the village.

The fact that Ryosuke is asking this question now probably means he thinks Ryosuke has already joined the Hokage's side.

Regardless of whether the other party is a moderate or a radical, his identity as a spy must not be revealed.

he said with a smile.

"Of course I'll stand on the side of the clan, after all, I'm a member of the Uchiha clan."

Chapter 20: Thinking about dogs

Ryosuke noticed Itachi Uchiha's bright smile.

Although Itachi was smiling, Ryosuke knew that the other had learned to put on an act since childhood and never truly expressed his inner feelings.

If I hadn't known that Itachi would personally wipe out the Uchiha clan in the future, I probably would have truly believed it.

Itachi Uchiha would never change his mind so easily just because he asked him a question.

Ryosuke is now unsure whether the other party has been completely brainwashed by the Will of Fire and has completely sided with Konoha.

Normally, members of the Uchiha clan would lean towards their clan, but Itachi Uchiha abandoned his family and romantic ties to protect the peace of Konoha.

Honestly, what does it have to do with Itachi, who has no family or loved ones in Konoha?

When Itachi Uchiha was three years old, his father, Fugaku Uchiha, took him to the battlefield and he witnessed the cruelty of war.

I began to ponder the meaning of life.

At such a young age, he already understands how to think from the Hokage's perspective.

They're probably thinking about the relationship between their family and the village now, and how to maintain true peace.

Then, believing himself to have transcended ordinary people, he destroyed his own family in the manner of a saint.

But honestly, even if the Uchiha clan made mistakes, did it warrant the crime of destroying the entire clan?

They didn't even spare the women and children in the village, not even a dog.

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership lay in power.

The Konoha leadership feared that the powerful Uchiha clan would seize their positions.

That's why they target the Uchiha clan at every turn.

But why isn't the Uchiha clan qualified to occupy positions in Konoha's upper echelons?

With the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan naturally became the undisputed strongest clan in the ninja world.

The clan produced geniuses like Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha.

Meanwhile, the three legendary Sannin, the backbone of the Konoha Hokage faction at the same time, either left or scattered.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade suffered a severe physical and mental blow due to the deaths of her family and loved ones. She also developed hemophobia, which made her unable to continue being a ninja. Now she wanders around and lives as a gambling addict.

Orochimaru, a disciple of the Third Hokage, conducted various human experiments and betrayed the village after being discovered.

Jiraiya also traveled around, writing books like Icha Icha Paradise while searching for the so-called Child of Destiny.

The decline of the Hokage faction made the Third Hokage, who was stationed in the village, feel a sense of crisis when he saw the rise of the Uchiha clan.

Does this mean that the Uchiha clan, having risen to high-ranking positions in Konoha, can no longer protect the village?

Putting everything else aside, with the strength of the Uchiha clan, possessing genius ninjas like Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, Ryosuke doesn't believe they wouldn't make other ninja villages cry for their mothers.

However, the shameful Third Hokage believed that the Uchiha clan was an unstable factor in the village, and Danzo even considered the Uchiha clan to be an evil clan.

But to be honest, wasn't the Third Hokage, Danzo, just afraid that the Uchiha clan would seize power?

Furthermore, the Third Hokage was not only old, but also ineffective.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Hokage stayed in the rear and reaped the benefits.

Compared to the Kage of other ninja villages, they are truly ugly. It's a waste that the village's ninjas fought bravely and sacrificed themselves to win the war against Iwagakure and sign an unequal treaty.

It was completely useless even during the later Nine-Tailed Fox rampage.

An old man like that, if he were a normal person, would have no face to remain in the position of Hokage.

Leaving aside Danzo, as the scapegoat and shadow of the Naruto world, everything is Danzo's fault.

Ryosuke genuinely believes that Itachi Uchiha doesn't need to work hard for someone like that.

In an attempt to change the other person's mind, Ryosuke continued.

"Actually, if our Uchiha clan were to become high-ranking members of Konoha, we would probably be better able to protect the village's peace than the aging Third Hokage."

"Uchiha Itachi, do you agree with my point of view?"

These words caused Itachi Uchiha's pupils to shrink and his heart to tremble.

This guy is a radical and actually wants to seize power, which disgusts him greatly.

The Uchiha clan is a selfish clan, and if they were to rise to power, it would definitely not be a good thing for Konoha.

He once awakened his Sharingan because of the death of his companion Tenma. He sadly told his father about it, but instead of comfort, he received congratulations, which made Itachi feel very disappointed in his family.

The current Third Hokage has done a good enough job, leading the village to peace.

He spoke slowly.

"You can't say things like that lightly. The Third Hokage brought prosperity and peace to the village."

"The Hokage is not old and frail; on the contrary, he is still the strongest fighter in the village."

Ryosuke was speechless at Itachi's words.

Perhaps the Third Hokage still possessed combat power; if not the strongest in the village, he was certainly among the top fighters.

However, during the Third Shinobi World War, he did not fight on the front lines at all, but instead stayed in the rear.

The Third Shinobi World War was fought against Kirigakure in the east thanks to the Uchiha clan.

At that time, Minato Namikaze, who was still a Jonin, led the Konoha ninjas to fight against the A-B combination of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
