Blacksmiths from Hokage

Chapter 28 Untitled
"arrogant……"

Kuruyoshi chewed on the word carefully, and his thoughts drifted to the past.

As the Konoha Garrison, the Uchiha family can be said to be conscientious, and Kurayoshi often sees Uchiha patrolling on the streets.

As a big family, Uchiha's upbringing is very good, and he is polite to people.

But somehow, talking to this group of people, even if they are helped by the other party, it is difficult for them to have a good impression on them.

Kurayoshi didn't know the reason before, but now that Itachi mentioned it, he probably knew it.

Pride and Prejudice.

Although it is invisible on the surface, the people of the Uchiha family have great arrogance and prejudice in their words and deeds.

Belonging to the clan, respecting the clan...

They are proud of being Uchiha, but they are never proud of being Konoha ninjas.

For the glory of Uchiha, they do their best in the guard team, but they never do their best for the prosperity of Konoha because they are Konoha people, as Konoha guards.

It is difficult for people who are also Konoha to identify with them.

Although they did not deliberately show off, nor did they despise anyone.

But the arrogance and prejudice engraved in their bones made them inadvertently widen the distance from each other in their words and deeds.

Perhaps they themselves did not realize that it was not Konoha who isolated Uchiha, but themselves.

If this is not clear, then a simple and easy-to-understand example will make it clear.

In order to serve the people, in order to create a harmonious society, the security guards who often work overtime, clock in for the salary, actively fight pornography and crime for bonuses, and fight for their own reputation and future...

Both are equally conscientious, but it is self-evident who will be more popular.

If you act like you're superior...

Ah!Can't be provoked or can't hide?

Kurayoshi thought carefully.

In the five years he lived in Konoha, he had never seen anyone promoting the grievances between Uchiha and Senju.

Combined with the fact that the younger generation of animation did not know about the grievances between Uchiha and Qianshou, the village was deliberately eliminating the gap between the various ethnic groups.

More than 50 years have passed since the grievances between Uchiha and Senju.

It is already the third generation, and the barriers of the past are long gone.

It is impossible for the villagers to distrust Uchiha because of historical reasons.

If Uchiha wasn't so arrogant and prejudiced, they would definitely be respected and trusted by the villagers, and even loved and supported by the villagers, as the guards who have always been conscientious.

When he collapsed, even if there was a suspicion like Danzo, he would not be able to make any waves, and at most he would use some small precautions in the dark.

When Obito fooled Sasuke, he said that the village's distrust of Uchiha was due to historical reasons, and the incident of the nine tails attacking the village magnified this distrust.

Kuraki once thought so too.

But now that Hearing Itachi said this, he realized that it was all nonsense.

The real root is Uchiha's arrogance and prejudice.

The reason why Obito used this kind of words to fool Sasuke is because Sasuke also has this kind of arrogance and prejudice, and it is more serious than the average Uchiha.

but--

"Although the cause of all this is Uchiha's arrogance and prejudice, Uchiha did nothing wrong. Are you blaming Uchiha for all the faults?"

Pride and Prejudice are nasty, but are Pride and Prejudice sinful?
No.

Uchiha didn't do anything wrong either.

On the contrary, it is an inescapable fact that they, as the Konoha garrison, have always done their best and made outstanding contributions to Konoha's security.

But not only did they not receive the rewards they deserved, but they were targeted everywhere. Is this fair to them?

Cangji stared at the back standing at the door, at the thin and lonely figure.

Only at this time would he notice Itachi's true age.

He is not yet 13 years old.

Uchiha Itachi smiled.

He looked at the white snow falling from the sky, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, sketching a knowing smile.

"The world itself is not fair. If you want to survive in the world, you have to conquer it or adapt to it. Uchiha has no power to conquer, so he can only adapt to it. He can't let go of the arrogance and prejudice of his family. thing."

"so you……"

"Yes, I want to eradicate Uchiha's arrogance and prejudice." Itachi said decisively.

Cangji pondered slightly and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I already have a plan."

"How much confidence?"

"I don't know." Itachi shook his head gently, "This kind of thing is uncertain, but I will remember the lesson of Shishui and will not trust anyone."

"I don't believe it either?" Kuraki laughed and teased.

Itachi turned around and stared at him quietly, silent.

The room fell silent, only the sound of the wind and snow reverberating.

After a long time, Cangji smiled lightly, "I'm just curious about what you will do, so you won't interfere and cause trouble for yourself."

With that said, he threw Shishui's immortal crystal to Itachi, and continued, "But to prevent you from failing and wasting my investment in vain, so do two things for me before you act."

"what's up?"

"The blood or hair of the Uchiha clan, everyone's got a little for me, I don't need too much, a little is enough."

Itachi did not answer immediately, but fell into contemplation while looking at the immortal crystal in his hand.

"Hey, you don't have to be so smart!" Kurayoshi yelled.

Itachi looked up at Cangji who was acting like a child, his indifferent expression couldn't help but smile, "It's not that I'm smart, it's that your intentions are too obvious."

"Che, that's because I didn't want to hide it from you. After all, you have to collect a lot of things."

"Do I need to thank you for your trust?"

"No need, just do what I told you to do."

"This is no problem, it can be done in a week, what about the second thing?"

"Teach me ninjutsu."

"What?"

Itachi's expression was obviously stunned, and although he quickly regained his indifference, he was still caught by Kuangyoshi.

"What's so strange?" Cang Yoshi pursed his lips and said, "I'm only five years old now, and I haven't attended a ninja school, and I don't have a family heritage of ninjutsu, let alone a master. What's wrong with finding someone to learn ninjutsu?"

"No, there's nothing wrong," Itachi said, "but I don't recommend you learn ninjutsu now."

"why?"

"I've been investigating you for the past two months, so I know the progress of your practice very well. My suggestion is to master the ninja tools before practicing ninjutsu."

"But no matter how skilled the ninja tools are, they are not as powerful as ninjutsu!"

"In terms of power alone, ninjutsu is indeed more powerful."

"That's it."

"But ninja tools do not need to consume chakra and can handle most tasks. In most cases, ninja tools are better than ninjutsu."

"I'm Chakrado, I'm not afraid of waste."

Itachi: "..."

Itachi fell silent.

For some reason, he had the urge to punch the other side.

But considering the position of the two sides, and thinking over and over again, Itachi suppressed this impulse very well.

"Even so, I don't recommend that you learn ninjutsu now. It's hard to tell you the specifics at once. I'll make a long-term training plan for you after I go back. You can just follow this plan."
