Ordinary People's Guide to Survival

Chapter 22 The Guardian of Peace

"I know how capable you were five years ago. People of your age can only look up to you, and you are even outstanding among many uncles and seniors. But if you want to slaughter the entire Uchiha clan like this, you have to make Konoha Unaware, but it is somewhat difficult, so you must have a helper."

"At first, I suspected Konoha. Konoha ninjas are not sacks, and the Uchihas in the whole street are not unarmed civilians. How could they not notice such a big movement? But this tragedy still happened, That can only show one thing - this is the result of the laissez-faire of Konoha's senior management, and they are even behind the scenes to fuel the flames."

"After you left Konoha, you joined Akatsuki directly. After I found someone to investigate, I felt that if your assistant was Akatsuki, he should be able to do that. After all, the members of that organization... are not so powerful that they are terrifyingly idealistic and sick. , is a genius neuropathy, it should not be difficult to block an area."

The long-cherished secret was suddenly revealed, and after a short period of panic, there was a sense of relief and lightness.

The ferret quickly calmed down, leaned against the tree trunk relaxedly, and gently rubbed his chin against the soft and smooth black hair of the person in his arms.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to ask Xingjian what kind of person he was in his heart.

"I've been paying attention to Akatsuki and Konoha all these years. Akatsuki belongs to an elite organization with few but elite members. The information I have obtained is limited, but Konoha..."

Is it worth sacrificing for such a village a false peace built with the bones of innocent people?

Xing Jian was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Have you ever regretted it?"

"... already done." Itachi replied.

If you have already done it, there is no room for regret, otherwise what happened to him all these years!

Hoshimi understood his subtext.

"...If I say, there is still a chance of redress?"

"..."

Itachi turned to ask, "How did you determine that Konoha was behind the scenes?"

Seeing that he avoided answering, Xing Grind his teeth, and it really was a muscle.

She had expected it a long time ago, and was not annoyed, so she returned to the original topic from Shanruliu.

"You just said 'Uchiha is not innocent', you can say that from your mouth, I think they must have done something unforgivable, but during that time, I didn't hear that the Uchiha family did any angry things , either this matter has been suppressed by others, or it has not happened yet. Combining intelligence... Is Uchiha premeditated rebellion?"

The big hand on the waist tightened, and Xingjian felt it.

"It seems that I guessed it right. Then why don't you go to me? In my capacity, it is not difficult to redesignate a family land for Uchiha. Uchiha is one of the founding groups of Konoha, with a high status. In Konoha I can't wait to be excluded, if I want to leave openly, at least no one will dare to stop me on the surface... Sigh, forget it, if you don't tell me, I will guess what you are thinking!"

Since the Uchiha clan wanted to rebel, it seemed that besides being resentful because of being excluded, he also had ambitions. At that time, he was almost abandoned by the daimyo, and his situation was not very good.

At this time, if Itachi went to ask for help, he would definitely not stand idly by, but correspondingly, the Uchiha family will be firmly bound to Master Hoshimi.

A powerful ninja family is closely linked with a noble and prestigious nobleman, which is a fact that no one wants to see.

Once he agrees, he will definitely suffer even more fear, and the ambition of the Uchiha family will also drag him into the struggle for power and profit that he didn't want to touch.

Many things that I couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear now.

The drooping eyelids covered the complexities in the glazed eyes, and the long and thick eyelashes trembled violently, showing that the owner was not at peace.

Hoshimi held the big hand around his waist, rubbing his soft and delicate fingertips against his rough skin back and forth, and said after a long time, "I'm sorry, Itachi, if we didn't know each other from the beginning, maybe you would be an excellent ninja."

An excellent ninja would not think too much about messy things.

Itachi's way of thinking is obviously influenced by him, and has broken the limitations of ordinary ninja thinking. He can see the interests and political struggles involved in an incident, but he can't find a good solution.

This lucid confusion is obviously more painful than complete ignorance.

Hoshimi thought of Hashirama, Togama, and Madara 60 years ago.He helped them break the old worldview, but before the new value system was fully established, his body collapsed and he was sucked into the seal.

What happened later is not very clear, and I can only infer some specious conclusions from the collected words, but the Muye Village they established is just similar to the peaceful village he described, but there is no fundamental system to support it.

Trying to use completely violent means to solve political matters shows the confusion of their thinking system.

Those few people were like this 60 years ago, and so is Itachi today.

Xing Jian always felt guilty that he dug a big hole and buried his close ones in it, but he patted his ass and left.

This made him want to break Itachi back even more.

"No ifs!"

Itachi became tougher, grabbed Hoshimi's fluttering hand, and interlocked his fingers, "This is my own choice, even without you, I would be like this."

Xingjian turned around, knelt in the young man's arms, supported the other's shoulders with both hands, looked straight into the other's eyes, "Don't you think you are wrong now?"

"...Am I wrong?" Itachi asked back, looking cautiously for approval.

Many people said that he was wrong, and Itachi didn't care, because the world they saw was different, but it was Xingjian who said this, and he was rarely confused.

Use the lives of the Uchiha clan in exchange for the peace of the entire Konoha, isn't it?

Xingjian nodded cruelly, "You are wrong!"

Ignoring Itachi's loss caused by his words, Hoshimi continued: "Konoha is your root, and it is human nature to hope that your hometown will become better. Konoha has no shortage of smart people. Are you the only one who sees the corruption? Obviously not. When others are muddled or drifting with the tide, only you stand up and choose to sacrifice yourself for peace, Itachi, you are a hero!"

Itachi, you are a hero!

This is the recognition that the rebellious Uchiha Itachi who slaughtered the entire clan never dared to expect.

Like a person who has been in the dark for a long time and suddenly sees the sky, his first reaction is to cover his eyes and escape. Compared with scolding and spurning, such praise and recognition make him more powerless to resist.

Itachi's pupils shrunk deeply, and he was about to turn his gaze subconsciously, but was held firmly by Hoshimi.

"But you are indeed wrong. Itachi, I didn't mean to accuse you when I said this, but to tell you that you can actually do better. People make choices every minute and every second of their lives, and the way of thinking Different people decide to face the same thing, different people will make completely opposite decisions, you have made what you think is the best solution, so, now you want to hear my thoughts?"

Since you can't see the way ahead, I'll show you the way. As long as you're alive, it's never too late!Xingjian thought to himself.

Uchiha Itachi nodded involuntarily.

"First, you made a mistake by putting yourself in a closed environment and completely cutting off contact with others. The original intention of Konoha was to protect the tribe, not to exchange the tribe's self-sacrifice for a short-term peace. This is putting the cart before the horse. .In the past, there was Konoha Baiya, and the sun is changing. Now I have you. What about in the future? If the root cause is not found, the problem cannot be solved, and this method of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause will only lead to more tragedies. Peace never depends on a single person Realize, Itachi, that sacrifices like yours only encourage the accelerated growth of rot."

"Secondly, you disregard other people's lives and impose your will on others. You can sacrifice your own life for peace, but you can't ask others to be like you. You don't have the right to decide the life and death of others. Have you ever Think about what will happen to Sasuke when he finds out the truth one day? He will go crazy! The goal that supported him to live suddenly disappeared, and suddenly he found that he had been living in a lie. It's a joke in the face of the truth... his faith has collapsed, what do you think he will do?"

Itachi's nails dug into the flesh fiercely, and his face instantly became pale as paper.

However, Xing Jian did not intend to stop, and still chose to spread all the blood dripping in front of the other party.

"Destroy yourself or destroy the enemy, for a person who has lost faith, there are only two paths in front of him. Itachi, your self-sacrifice cannot protect the village, nor can it protect your beloved brother!"

Hoshimi glanced at Itachi, closed his eyes hard, and continued hardening his heart: "Third, you put your personal will above the system, which is a big mistake. No matter whether Uchiha is guilty or not, that is It shouldn't be up to you to do it in your own name, arrest, collect evidence, and try. This is what a well-established political system should do. I don't understand the so-called meaning of maintaining the reputation of the Uchiha family. Who doesn't point What a shame, is there a few careerists in the family, and everyone else will be buried with them? How innocent are those old and weak women and children! If you lose your honor, you can earn it again, and if you lose your life, you will lose everything. You are protecting the Uchiha Is it the glory of the founding group of the Uchiha family? You have clearly achieved the tyrannical name of the Uchiha clan! When you raised the butcher knife to your relatives in the name of protecting peace, did you ever think that one day others would use the same banner to attack innocent people? People swinging knives? At that time, what is the difference between you and those executioners!"

"Individual behavior is the most uncontrollable. Although the system has various drawbacks, everyone works together, abides by it, and restricts ourselves to the general framework. Only in this way can we achieve the least friction and the greatest freedom."

Itachi had already covered his face with his hands at some point, and his slightly long forehead hair hung down, casting a shadow on the nose, making it difficult to see his true expression.

After a long time, he spoke, his voice was like a broken bellows, hoarse and unpleasant, "...like Taoyuan Township?"

"Yes, just like Taoyuan Township, it will not be transferred by someone's will!"

Xingjian hugged the depressed young man, put his snow-white neck on the other's shoulder without any defense, and could feel the beating pulse just by raising his hand slightly.

He hugged Itachi just like Itachi hugged him before, gently stroking the thin young man's back, "Itachi, come back to Taoyuan Township with me, if you want peace, I'll do it, how about you help me?"

The heat gushed over the young man's ears, and the white jade earlobes turned pink in an instant, and Itachi's heart beat violently, not only because the two were like mandarin ducks crossing their necks at this time, but also because of the promise the young man had uttered.

When Xing saw him, he was clearly the one who feared trouble the most.

"Need not."

Itachi tightly imprisoned the boy in his arms, buried his head on the boy's delicate and white neck, sniffed the light body fragrance carefully, the cherry blossoms on the top of his head rustled down, covered their skirts, and their hair became entangled, It has long been difficult to distinguish between you and me, Itachi only wishes that time can stay at this moment forever.

"You just have to live happily as you are now!"

This is his lifelong wish.
