His extraordinary comprehension allowed him to create immortal techniques at the age of six, astonis

He was very curious about what kind of bizarre thought process Itachi had that could make such a decision!

Itachi stood there nervously, his three-tomoe Sharingan already activated, and said with a solemn expression:

"There are some things I'd like to ask you!"

Ishihara pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit down and let's talk."

After Itachi sat down, he picked up the teacup on the table and poured tea for Ishihara. After hesitating for a moment, he asked:

What do you think is the meaning of life?

Ishihara was taken aback, not expecting such a philosophical question to come right off the bat.

However, after thinking about it, he still answered the question, "For me, the meaning of life is simply to live!"

That's why he pursued immortality!

As for enjoying life, he will naturally do so.

However, for now, he places more emphasis on the method of achieving immortality.

"Alive?"

Itachi nodded thoughtfully.

He was taken to the battlefield by Fugaku when he was 4 years old, and witnessed the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield.

That's why he always tried his best to avoid war, which he believed was the meaning of his life.

Especially after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, his immense power gave him the illusion that he should resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha to prevent a potential Fourth Shinobi World War!

But now, it seems he can't do it anymore.

Itachi asked, bewildered, "Then what should I do to prevent a war between the Uchiha and Konoha?"

Ishihara immediately laughed. "Is this question difficult?"

Isn't it difficult?

Itachi looked completely puzzled.

"Then let me ask you a question first."

Ishihara looked at him with a half-smile.

"In this war between the Uchiha and Konoha leadership, if you were to join the Konoha leadership's side, do you think you would have a chance of winning?"

"You can use any means, any scheme, regardless of the cost!"

After pondering for a moment, Itachi looked somewhat hesitant.

Ishihara laughed and said it for him.

"You can betray the Uchiha clan, you can even ambush and kill Fugaku in your own home, then falsely claim Fugaku's orders to lure Inagi, who has just awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan, and then kill Inagi!"

"With both Mangekyou Sharingan gone, you, the Third Hokage, and Danzo joining forces could completely annihilate the Uchiha clan!"

Is that what you think?

Itachi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Ishihara's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "But have you forgotten that the Uchiha clan is mine now!"

Itachi's pupils constricted, and he stared at Ishihara in horror. "Are you going to get involved in this?"

Ishihara raised a finger and shook it, saying indifferently and domineeringly:

"It's not that I want to interfere, but the Uchiha clan is mine!"

"It's still useful to me. If I don't let the Uchiha clan be wiped out, then it can't wipe them out, even if the opponent is the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"

Itachi shuddered, his heart sinking to the bottom as he looked at the confident look in his eyes.

He knew very well that a calm and rational person like Ishihara would not be blindly confident.

Since he has said such a thing, then he must have the strength to fight against the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

"Could it be that he has reached the legendary strength of Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage? Or has he mastered Wood Release?!"

The sudden thought that popped into Itachi's mind horrified him.

But looking at Ishihara's ambiguous smile, it seemed to be telling him...

Yes, you guessed right!

Itachi felt a chill run through him!

"Even if it's not Wood Release, he's probably developed a secret technique of similar level!"

He knew that the Konoha leadership had no chance!

If something happens to the Third Hokage and Danzo, Konoha will inevitably fall into turmoil, which could very likely trigger a new Shinobi World War.

Thinking of this, Itachi felt a chill run down his spine.

At this point, Ishihara continued, "What if you were on the Uchiha's side?"

Itachi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he continued speaking.

"With three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, there is no possibility of failure, whether it's attacking Danzo or the Hokage!"

He glanced at Ishihara.

Most importantly, he was backing the Uchiha clan!

Ishihara said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, Fugaku will bring even more people to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan tomorrow. At that time, the Uchiha won't just have three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingans, but four, five, or even more..."

Gudong!

Itachi couldn't help but swallow hard, his face filled with horror.

With five or even more Mangekyou Sharingan, he simply couldn't imagine the possibility of the Uchiha clan being defeated!

As Itachi continued to imagine, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"However, if the Third Hokage dies, Konoha will fall into internal strife, which will trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!"

Ishihara scoffed, "What's it to you?"

"When the Third Hokage dies, a new Hokage will naturally be born!"

"Even if the Fourth Shinobi World War doesn't break out now, it will break out someday!"

"You don't actually think that awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan will change the course of the ninja world, do you?"

Itachi immediately fell silent.

He did think that way before, at least it could prevent a war caused by Konoha and the Uchiha.

But looking at Ishihara, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

The man in front of them clearly had the ability to stop everything, but he showed no intention of taking any action.

Thinking of the busy and anxious state of the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage, etc.

He suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

The ending was already predetermined!

"So Itachi, now it's your turn to make a choice: will you choose the Uchiha clan or the Third Hokage?"

Ishihara squinted at him.

He wanted to see if Itachi's thought process would be so bizarre as to surprise him.

Itachi gave a wry smile. "Did I even have a choice?"

Choosing the Third Hokage means choosing to die with him; war is still unavoidable!

But choosing the Uchiha clan at least ensures my survival, and then I can consider avoiding war!

"I choose the Uchiha!"

"Looks like there's nothing wrong with your brain."

Ishihara shook his head.

Itachi was a little confused.

Does Ishihara think there's something wrong with his brain?

"I've solved your problem; now it's your turn to pay the price."

Ishihara looked at him and said.

Itachi was immediately jolted, his face tensed, and his hand gripping the teacup turned white.

"Does this also come at a price?"

"Of course!"

"It's only natural," Shi Yuan said.

Itachi asked nervously, "What price will I have to pay?"
