Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"Please remember what you said today." Hinata Yuzuru said earnestly, and the gentle emotion in his eyes rarely made Uchiha Itachi feel weird, with a power that made him feel warm.

Hyuga Yuzuru stared at Uchiha Itachi and warned carefully: "If Brother Shisui wants to prevent you from becoming a ninja and thinks that is to protect you, I don't think so. In this matter, I support your decision."

Uchiha Shisui sighed and put his hand on his forehead, but stopped trying to persuade him and just listened quietly to Hinata Yuzuru's reasons.

"Just please remember...your eyes may deceive you, and the truth you know may be just a lie carefully crafted by others."

"Don't believe anyone, including me, use all your feelings to find your own answers."

Uchiha Shisui frowned and reminded in a low voice that the answer might not be reliable: "Then how can you guarantee that the answer you come up with is the correct answer?"

"Then you have to ask yourself what you really think in your heart, and ask yourself what you really want."

Hyuga Yuzuru looked at Uchiha Itachi and asked softly: "Perhaps we can add some restrictions to this answer. In this case, once multiple answers come to mind, we can use this to identify what we ultimately want. need."

"for example......"

He smiled, and his voice was gentle and soft in the barbecue shop. Amidst the crackling sound caused by the dripping of barbecue fat on the charcoal fire, it reached their ears as clearly as thunder in the rain.

"I hope that in the future, every child of Konoha will not have to think about the so-called problems of family and village like us, and will not have to think about life and death on the battlefield like us."

"I hope that war can disappear, oppression can be resisted, and justice can eliminate evil."

"I hope that one day, even people outside Konoha can gain peace and happiness."

"Everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear. Ninjutsu is no longer used to kill, but to improve life and make everyone's life better."

"I hope that one day in the future..."

Even Uchiha Shisui had never imagined that the boy in front of him had such great ambitions, transcending the limitations of his family, not even limited to Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi was in a daze for a moment. At most, he was thinking about why the tribe and the village were quarreling and why they had to sacrifice their lives for meaningless things. Hinata Yuzuru's words were like throwing a bigger mystery to Got him.

The so-called ideas of peace, freedom, and equality are very different from the "will of fire" promoted and emphasized in the village, and the "will of the family" spoken by the adults in the family.

It's a wider world.

"Of course, it's difficult, and I don't think I can do it myself."

Hyuga Yuzuru spoke frankly about his shortcomings, smiling, but his tone gradually became sharper: "But only such a bright future makes it necessary to work hard, right?"

For a moment, there was only the sizzling sound of the charcoal being stained with grease under the barbecue. Hinata Yuzuru picked up the chopsticks and took a piece. He saved it in time and the taste was pretty good.

While he was eating the meat nonchalantly, he chuckled softly, as if what he just said was just a casual conversation.

"What I just said is just a fantasy at the moment. However, if you use this as a reference, it shouldn't be difficult to make the right choice, right?"

"And, like I said, absolutely don't trust me with anything I say, and allow yourself to think for yourself and come up with the answers."

"Perhaps everything I say now is a lie, just to win your trust... Itachi, with such doubts and the determination that no one will trust you, set foot on the road of ninja again Bar."

There was no emotion in Hinata Yuzuru's eyes under the frame. Even Shisui couldn't tell at this moment whether what he just said was heroic words from the heart and good expectations for the future, or whether it was just a casual talk. .

But no matter what, Itachi and Shisui were greatly shocked by this and fell into deep thought.

Especially for Shisui, what touched him the most was actually far from the ideals Hinata Yuzuru threw out, but the warning words at the end.

'Do not trust anyone'.

Is the will of fire taught by the second generation the truth of the world?

Is Konoha Village, or itself, really on the right path?

For the first time, Uchiha Shisui had some doubts and reflections about his beliefs and persistence, but he quickly suppressed them temporarily. It was impossible for him to question his beliefs and tolerance just because of someone else's words, even if Reality reminded him over and over again that something had gone wrong, but he still believed that as long as he followed the path of the Will of Fire, everything would be back on track.

As long as we follow the will of fire, the beautiful future Yuzuru talks about will surely come to Konoha!

The three of them fell into silence. Only Hinata Yuzuru ate diligently. Since neither of them had an appetite, he would not waste the rare barbecue.

Who knows how long I will have to eat dry food when I go on a mission this time.

After Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were silent for a moment, they began to chat with him about the so-called 'ideal', trying to understand the future he described in more detail.

Hyuga Yuzuru was not afraid of the stage. He combined the history and ideological ethics he had learned before time travel and gave them an in-depth and simple talk about his ideal Konoha based on Konoha's current situation. Of course, he had some reservations, and it was just a superficial talk. But even so, whether it was education or medical care, values ​​or outlook on life, they were deeply shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Of course, while talking, Hinata Yuzuru was working hard on the rice, intending to put all the meat that would not be eaten for a while into his stomach and digest it slowly.

After eating with a round belly and giving full play to the appetite of a taijutsu ninja, Hinata Yuzuru half-slumped on the chair, looked at Uchiha Shisui, and smiled slightly: "Brother Shisui, please pay."

Uchiha Shisui came to his senses and subconsciously reached out to pay the bill.

The boss, who had been waiting for a long time, took out the bill with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your patronage. I've already given you a small discount of ten thousand taels."

When did we order so much barbecue?

In this shop, a portion of meat only costs a few hundred taels! ?

Shisui touched his stomach and felt like he wasn't full yet.

But Hinata Yuzuru just smiled faintly: "It's time to go and do the mission, Shisui-senpai."

Uchiha Shisui stared blankly outside the house. From the angle of the sun's rays, he could tell the time. It was already three or four hours before noon. As Hyuga Yuzuru said, it was time to set off for the border. .

This guy.....

Uchiha Shisui looked at Hinata Yuzuru and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What an amazing junior.

No matter from the perspective of thoughts or appetite.

And Uchiha Itachi didn't even move a chopstick.

He sat there blankly, and in his mind, a blueprint of a beautiful world slowly unfolded in his mind, like a mirage, which made him feel out of reach, illusory and extremely unreal.

but......

Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips tightly and looked at his friend. Hinata Yuzuru's quiet and gentle face was wearing a satisfied smile after eating and drinking.

Such a world, to me, is out of reach and illusory.

But he must have had an idea, or in other words, he had an idea early on, and he was forging ahead on the right path.

Don't believe you...?

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head.

Then look at it with my eyes!

If the end of the road you are walking on is also the future I hope for, then we will move forward together... Yuzuru!
