Ninja Ice House

Looking at Fengtu's expression that he clearly knew something but didn't want to say anything, Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a while, but did not ask further questions. Instead, he silently took the chicken leg, ate it all lightly, and drank again. After a few mouthfuls of mushroom soup, my long-suffering thoughts finally eased a lot.

After getting along with each other for a long time, the geniuses of the Uchiha family gradually realized that the destruction of Konoha Village that Fangtu kept talking about was definitely not an empty talk.However, this middle-aged man, who seems to have nothing wrong but is a little crazy inside, is a complete lunatic.What he was thinking was definitely not just to cause trouble for the Leaf Village.

One thing is for sure, this man has special thoughts about the "Akatsuki" organization and still maintains contact with the Fusagi family.

As for what the huge family hidden deep in the ninja world, with tentacles all over the world, wants to do, even Uchiha Itachi, who knows some secrets that he has never imagined before, feels a little tricky.

Such things as strength, power and influence will never have an impact on the outside world because of everyone's restraint and low-key. The natural ripples will be enough to stir up undercurrents.

With the current size of the Gushan family, even if they do nothing, the natural expansion will bring unspeakable pressure to the outside world.

For example, small countries in the buffer zone such as the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki find it increasingly difficult to break free from economic constraints. Gradually, the economy spreads to culture, social cognition, and even the decisions of ninja villages and daimyo. Strength brings the blessing of soft power, which involuntarily affects people and forces in the entire interest chain.

I don't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate, but the young governor who is in charge of the Gushan family in this generation happens to be a master who understands this very well and knows how to use all conditions to expand his influence and control.

Even if they still don't understand the powerful power of order, system and rules, smart geniuses like Itachi Uchiha gradually realize that besides the option of turning over the table and fighting, there is another force that is more powerful and obscure, encompassing everyone. The mastermind who entered was stirring up the situation in the ninja world.

If you look back at the major events that have happened in the ninja world in the past few years, you will find that there is a family force that has always stayed out of the matter, and naturally grabbed most of the benefits afterwards.

The Kosugi family is not the kind of people who take the initiative to stir up trouble and then bully the weak and shallow. They are like giant bears standing motionless in the rapids, waiting for the migrating salmon to jump up and deliver it to their mouths, effortlessly. Just eat up the richest food, then hide in the jungle to rest and wait for the opportunists next year.

It is labor-saving, efficient, safe and unnoticed, and basically does not participate in active "hunting" that is not cost-effective. It does not seem to be a deterrent. However, if the time is extended to years or even ten years, it is You will find that this kind of "primitive accumulation" with almost guaranteed profit has allowed the Gushan family to obtain unimaginable benefits.

The survival wisdom of a thousand-year-old family is not comparable to that of a small ninja clan or a small force that is rising and dying.

"Jiangtu, are you not worried at all that something unexpected will happen to your son?"

After breakfast, Uchiha Itachi, who was resting quietly, thought for a long time and asked Fangtu, who closed his eyes to rest.

"Needless to say perfunctory words, I don't worry at all if I don't believe you, but... your peace of mind and calmness from the inside out are not fake. Why?"

After hearing this, Fengtu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Itachi Uchiha, who seemed to have a different expression, shook his head slightly, and sighed:

"There is no difference between intelligence and stupidity in the face of real great wisdom. The latter is too easily influenced by instinct, and the former is often mistaken for cleverness. On the contrary, the mediocre majority are more difficult to fathom. Have you heard that' Chaos theory'? The more reference samples and variables there are, the more boring it becomes. Only mathematics with no possibility of trickery can be measured. We always have cognitive filters on ourselves and think that we are special. In fact, that's all. After all, after integrating into the group, they are just poor bastards."

"Very complicated?"

"The root cause of poverty is very complicated, but your question is very simple. My son Kong is too stupid. He has no talents beyond his limits. As long as he does not seek death, he will be safe and sound, and at most he will suffer a little. And you and me, Unlike most people in the organization, this world is not friendly to people who have some real self-idea. Just like a fish that wants to climb ashore and see the different scenery of the world, if it is too persistent, it will Die of thirst on the shore.”

"Smart and capable, but not quite enough?"

"It's very close. Sora has no ability, nor is he smart enough. His only value is to be used by others. As long as this still exists, he will be fine. And I, myself, can only go with the flow..."

"If not, will he be your Achilles' heel?"

"Don't you treat your brother the same way, and you still ask me? I don't hesitate to risk my own life, but I also want to win a chance for your brother, but..."

With a chuckle, Jiangtu said casually,

"You, the Uchiha family, are obviously wolves that roam all over the world. After staying in Konoha Village for a long time and getting used to the comfortable life, you have become a family dog ​​who only knows how to look after the one-third of an acre of land in front of you. After so many years, as long as there are If you are a little smarter and think of countermeasures outside the box, you will not end up being wiped out."

After the Kyuubi attacked the village, the Uchiha family had reached a dead end, trying to figure out a way in Konoha Village with no chance of survival.

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi thought for a while, and then nodded unconsciously.

"Since the 'Sannin' left one after another, Uchiha has become too much of an eyesore. If the structure of Konoha Village is regarded as a self-contained ecosystem, the death of the fourth generation is actually telling everyone that the balance has been broken. ”

Even if Uchiha has no idea of ​​challenging the existing structure, having this ability is a target in itself.Even without Shimura Danzo's pressing pressure, the martial arts faction within the Uchiha family would still coerce Uchiha Fugaku to challenge the Hokage family.

It is normal for the first ninja clan to want to be the Kage of the first ninja village, but will other Konohagakure forces, large and small, agree?

In the previous generations of Hokages, at least two non-Senju clan members, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato, were in the position. With the strength and arrogance of the Uchiha clan, they really took over the position of Hokage. What happened to the others? ?

Jiangtu responded casually:

"That little fox Kosugi Bosui said after learning that Namikaze Minato was dead that the 'golden flash' was gone and the consequences would be extremely serious, far beyond what you think of the 'little sun's' untimely death. . This is a major setback for the small and medium-sized ninja clan and civilian ninjas in Konoha Village. It is a major crisis for the ninja clan union such as Ninja Village. If we don't find a 'scapegoat' to take responsibility, it will be easy for the ninja world to break out. One village. The collapse of order in a country is possible. As for who it is, it doesn’t matter, as long as it can stop everyone’s mouths.”

From this perspective, apart from the Uchiha family, there is really no one more suitable. What's more, many direct and indirect evidences also point to the Uchiha family, which has always been neither reverent nor low-key.

"Because he is so good at fighting, he always likes to use force to solve problems. Gradually, his vigilance is not sharp enough, and he loses the ability to deal with problems in other ways. By the time...the patriarch realizes that something is wrong, it is already too late."

After saying a few words leisurely, Jiangtu raised his head and looked at the rising sun in the southeast, and then said,

"Let's go and have a look in the south. Over there... there is news about the Four-Tails Jinchuuriki. Let's go see your brother by the way. Speaking of which... Sasuke is a little smarter than Sora, but not much better. Therefore, if you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. In this world, there are far more people who wish him alive than those who wish him dead.”

"Because...Sharingan?"

"Because of Indra's reincarnation, didn't you investigate it secretly?"

Fengtu suddenly turned around and said with a smile the secret hidden in Uchiha Itachi's heart.

"Is your eye power declining so quickly because you got the Ten Fist Sword? It happened two years earlier than expected... maybe not too early."

"How could you possibly know?"

Casting unkind eyes at Fangtu, Uchiha Itachi, who was ready to take action if he disagreed, calmly put his hand into his ninja bag.

"what did you do to me?"

"I am entrusted by others and need you to live, so you...can't die. I think you don't want to lose your life just like that, right? Although your eye power has recovered, it will take a long time to make up for the deficit in your body. In the near future, it is still It's better not to do anything. Of course, if you insist, I also want to try the legendary Uchiha genius. How powerful it is. The last time I encountered an enemy with Sharingan was several years ago. I miss it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiangtu felt his eyes blur. He appeared in a dark world, with gurgling water below and a red moon hanging above his head. He was tied to a pillar and could not move.

"Is this Tsukuyomi? He seems very strong..."

Uchiha Itachi, who remained silent, picked up his long sword and stabbed it into Fangtu's abdomen. The pain that penetrated deep into his soul made him groan uncontrollably.

In the illusion space, a long time passed, but the outside world only lasted a moment.

A drop of dark blood flowed from the corner of Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and he closed his eyes unconsciously and covered it with his hands.

Jiangtu came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

"This kind of strength is on the same level as other gods. How can it be defeated by Sanmagatama? This water is released, and the flood floods it, but it is nothing more than that..."

As he finished speaking, a clear stream of water overflowed from Jiangtu's body, gathering together to form a strange water body.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the sudden change, Uchiha Itachi stood up, took a few steps back, and looked at the strange man with an abstract shape, a face with only a diamond-shaped four-eye structure, and no distinguishable features.

"This is... Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan?"

The strange water avatar turned around and looked at Jiangtu, who had an innocent look on his face. He opened his big, empty mouth and made a strange sound, like an autistic child who had not spoken for a long time and had some communication difficulties.

"You... are far from retiring, and you have good strength and potential. You may be a good helper. Your brother is safer than you. You are more useful alive than dead. In addition..."

After sorting out his words, Weird Water groped deep inside his body for a while, took out a strange package, bulging, and threw it to Uchiha Itachi,

"You Uchiha tribesmen, the more genius you are, the more you like to go forward alone and think about solving problems alone. When you encounter difficulties, you don't know what to do. Although the power of ninjas can break through all obstacles, but don't Ignore the power of less talented people.”

Itachi Uchiha listened and opened the package vigilantly. Inside was a large number of precious medicinal materials and special scientific ninja tools, most of which were mainly used to relieve the burden on the body and regulate yin and yang, with mostly auxiliary effects.

"This is……"

"Someone has spent a lot of internal contribution points to redeem these, and the entrustment will be handed over to you personally. Let me tell you, this world is quite exciting. If you live well, you can see a lot of good shows. It would be too much to die. It's a pity. You... are very important, but without you, it doesn't mean that the world would stop functioning."

"Sasuke, was it arranged by you?"

"No, it was fate that gave him the direction, and then he made his own choice. In this era, we are just the 'background' and cannot make decisions for the 'protagonists'..."

"Gu Shan? This style is indeed what it is."

The mysterious water clone did not deny it, and a strange smile appeared on his strange face.

"Your father's Mangekyō Sharingan and Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan. Be careful not to be deceived. It's your business to make Sasuke Uchiha a success, but don't give up hope too early. Yes. For parents, whether they are older brothers or younger brothers, they are all close relatives and cannot be parted from. The past cannot be changed, but the future can be worked hard for."

"Then...who entrusted you to deliver the package?"

"Huh? Judging from your face, it seems that you are guessing something, but there is no comment."

The humanoid shape that spoke began to slowly melt and dissipate,

"I won't wait too long. No matter how long the story is, it must have an ending. We will see you later. In addition, if you encounter a powerful weirdo with black lines on his body, or a double horn on his head, someone who is not a Hyuga clan member but has white eyes Strangers, be careful, we may not be the only ones who want to plan the next era in advance. You are a good starting point, and you are much more important than you think, if... you don't die."

It turned into a puddle of water and disappeared in place, leaving behind a thought-provoking warning.

-----------------

Thousands of miles away, in the Misty Hidden Village of the Land of Water, I stood on a high hill. Through my senses, I watched the village still shrouded in thick fog in the distance gradually wake up. People whose faces showed no age and whose skin was unusually fair turned their eyes. He looked to the northwest.

Over there, there are traces of the power of yin and yang being transmitted across space. The ripples spread almost throughout the entire ninja world through natural energy. Most ninjas cannot feel it. Only "gods" who have truly reached a certain level of strength can detect it.

"Except for the one on the moon, is there anything else in this world?"
