Blacksmiths from Hokage

Chapter 34 No.30 Four
"What, what!?" Sarutobi was shocked.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

This shouldn't be!
Itachi was able to think with Hokage's thinking at the age of 4, and he is the perfect inheritor of the will of fire.

If you have to make a choice between the family and the village.

He believed that Itachi would definitely choose the village.

But what did he just hear?
Uchiha did nothing wrong, they should not make concessions, it is the village who should make concessions.

Sarutobi suspected for a while that his ears had heard it wrong, or that Itachi in front of him was a fake that someone else used the transformation technique.

No, no, that's not the point.

What really surprised Sarutobi was not the choice Itachi made, but the fact that Betsuten was not used to resolve the dispute between Uchiha and the village.

This kind of bug skill that can only be used once in ten years, no one will easily use it.

For Itachi, the village and family are the most important existences in his life.
He didn't use it for the peaceful use of the village and family, so what did he use it for?
Even if Itachi were to use it on the top of the village, Sarutobi would not be so surprised.

But he didn't.

It did not make Uchiha step back, nor did it use it to the top of the village.

Sarutobi's expression completely exposed the thoughts in his heart, Itachi explained lightly: "I let the family let go of arrogance and prejudice."

"Pride and Prejudice?" Sarutobi looked at Itachi in confusion.

"Because of the long history, and because Uchiha is born with more chakra than others, plus the existence of Sharinyan, family members have a special sense of belonging to the family.

This sense of belonging prevents many members of the family from truly integrating into Konoha.

Although they also consider themselves to be Konoha's ninjas, their deep sense of belonging makes them draw a sharp line of demarcation from other villagers.

This is arrogance and prejudice against other people, and it is also the main culprit that has caused the current situation of the family and the village.

If they can't let go of this arrogance and prejudice, even if the matter is resolved peacefully this time, it will lead to a more intense conflict next time. "

After listening to Itachi's explanation, Sarutobi heaved a deep sigh of relief.

He leaned back on the chair, smoking a cigarette, his cloudy eyes staring at the ceiling, flashing complex eyes.

After a long time, he sat up straight and sighed, "...I see."

I thought itachi was indifferent, or there were other reasons.

Unexpectedly, it was only because he saw farther.

This child has far-reaching eyes than me.

but……

The current things are not resolved, you have guaranteed the future so what?

Sarutobi sighed and said: "You should know that this kind of thing involves collective interests, even as Hokage, you can't decide everything by your own will."

"So I made preparations with both hands." Itachi said lightly.

As if he had expected Sarutobi to say this, he had already made his speech.

"The Konoha Garrison built by Uchiha controls the village's defense system, barrier nodes, and personnel layout, and the Anbu root that I stayed with Shisui also has a lot of control over the border defense layout. If Uchiha and the village have civil strife , the information will be sent to other countries as soon as possible."

"boom!"

Sarutobi slammed the table and stood up, his cloudy eyes became extremely sharp, and an invisible aura emanated from his body, pressing down on the half-kneeling person in front of him like an air current.

"Itachi, do you know what this means?"

"War." Itachi said lightly.

The meaning of these simple words makes the atmosphere in the office sink.

Sarutobi stared at Itachi solemnly, and Itachi looked at him without fear.

This guy is serious.

From Itachi's eyes, Sarutobi could see the other party's consciousness.

After the momentum eased, Sarutobi sat back on the office chair.

He leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, thoughtful.

Many questions and doubts flashed through my mind one by one.

After a while, Sarutobi opened his eyes, sat up straight, stared at Itachi, and asked, "Tell me, why are you doing this? You shouldn't be such a stupid person."

People who put peace above their family and village will threaten him with war, which is something Sarutobi can't understand anyway.

To say that nothing happened behind it, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

Itachi looked at Sarutobi indifferently, looking at the old man he had always respected, and there was a hint of fatigue in his turbid pupils.

Sorry.

After a silent recitation in his heart, Itachi said lightly, "Because, you will never let Konoha fall into the flames of war."

Thanks to Kurayoshi, Itachi changed his mind.

Cangji gave him the immortal crystal of Zhishui, which gave him the same opportunity to peacefully resolve the conflict between the family and the village as Zhishui.

But the water stop failed.

When Itachi was thinking about the plan, he was also thinking about the reasons for Shishui's failure to prevent repeating the same mistakes.

Why did the water stop fail?

Is it because you trust someone you don't trust?

No.

The real reason is that Shishui is just a piece to be manipulated, not a player who decides the route of travel.

Itachi and Shisui, who regard the village and peace as more important than anything, will prevent any factors that lead to the outbreak of war in order to protect the village and peace.

Sandaimu, Danzo is also because of knowing them, so they trust them so much, and let the two Uchihas be the spies of the village and Uchiha.

Not because they believed that their personal feelings valued the village more, but because of his desire and belief in peace.

But belief is something that is not exclusive to one person.

Whether it is Sandaimu or Danzo, they also have their own beliefs.

Since the other person can use his beliefs to manipulate himself, why can't I use the other person's beliefs to achieve my goals?
Itachi changed his thinking pattern.

The belief of the third generation is to protect Konoha, and in order to protect Konoha, he will use all means.

In the village of Sanninli, the fourth generation was killed in battle, and a large number of elite ninjas died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Now, the power has never been weaker...

If the enemy ninja invaded during the civil war between Uchiha and the village, then Konoha is likely to perish.

Threatening with this...

If it was the third generation in the prime of life, he might not compromise, but now the third generation is old, even if his old body can last a few years, he does not dare to let the village take risks.

Especially when the village is now in a period of no connection between green and yellow, it needs to rest and recuperate.

If there is a war, no matter winning or losing, it will bring huge losses to the village.

but--

"How do you guarantee that I won't settle accounts in the autumn?" Sarutobi asked sharply, "Using threats to force the village to compromise, even if I don't trouble Uchiha in the future, what about the others?
I don't know about the others, but Danzo definitely can't stand this tone. When the village is recuperating and has no fear of enemy invasion during the civil strife, he will definitely ask Uchiha to settle accounts. "

"So I made second-hand preparations." Itachi looked straight at Sarutobi, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Tonight, Danzo will surely die."
