[Comprehensive] living to death

What are you happy about?

Itachi looked at his sister, a little surprised, but not so surprised; although he learned early on how to properly cover up his true thoughts, his sister was always extra sharp at certain times.

"Nothing." He replied calmly.

Mingyue supported her chin with one hand, and put the other hand on the table, tapping the tip of her index finger little by little, making a slight and rhythmic sound.

"Well--"

Mingyue stood up.

"Okay," she said.

While she was thinking, Itachi's eyes were fixed on her hands.Mingyue's hands are slender and fair, with a little powder on the nails; the lavender is particularly eye-catching.

"Sister, what happened to your hand?"

Mingyue picked up the teacup and cast a casual glance at the words. "Oh, I pressed it somewhere before." She took a sip of tea, "There are always times when you are not careful...cough cough cough cough..."

She covered her mouth and coughed earth-shatteringly.

"Cough cough cough... accidentally choked cough cough..."

Itachi: "..."

"Sister, you are really..." Itachi handed over a tissue, "You can actually choke on drinking water, Sasuke would laugh at you if he knew."

"Ahem...'Yeah'?" Mingyue patted her chest and breathed, and still didn't stare at him, "So you're already smiling, little Itachi, right?"

The boy returned a gentle smile.The same smile, but itachi looks much more friendly than before.

If only the kid could smile so kindly all the time.Mingyue muttered to herself.

"Let's leave after eating and drinking." She sat motionless on the seat and waved to her brother grandly, "Little Weasel, hurry up and pay the bill!"

Itachi didn't mind paying for his sister at all; rather he was happy to be relied on.but……

"In front of mother just now, didn't my sister say that she was treating guests?"

It is a rare opportunity to tease my sister, and Itachi is not willing to miss it.

Mingyue suddenly "slapped" on the table.

"Ah, I feel so weak all of a sudden! Just thinking about my dry wallet makes me so sad that I can't breathe!" she said sadly, "Ah, what should I do?"

"...I see." Itachi pushed her helplessly and amusedly, "Sister, please sit down quickly, it's too embarrassing to be seen by others."

"It's okay, I belong to the city wall." Mingyue said, "The kind whose face is so thick that it's invulnerable."

Itachi: "..."

******

"Looking forward to your next visit!"

Saying goodbye to Xinxiang, Mingyue caressed her satisfied stomach and walked on the street with Itachi.Maybe it was because she was full of food and drink, she had a lazy expression, and her walking speed was slower than usual.The autumn sunshine poured on them to their heart's content, and the hair of the siblings was shining with a healthy luster.

Although it is autumn, it is still a bit hot in the afternoon, and the sun is not gentle. It is a bit strange that they avoid all shaded places and choose to bask in the sun like this.

Itachi wouldn't be surprised.Although he is young, he has been in Anbe for three years, and he knows that Shimura Danzo's "root" is always watching Konoha.Those people who are dressed exactly like Hokage Anbe are hidden in the shadow of Konoha, acting as the eyes and ears of Danzo, quietly monitoring the words and deeds of the people in the village.

But the manpower of "root" is limited after all.As long as you deliberately take precautions, try to choose an open place like my sister, and then lower your voice, it is impossible for "gen" to really know what they are talking about.

Legend has it that Danzo has always been surrounded by people from the Younv family, who can detect everything skillfully by using bugs.To some extent this is true, but that doesn't include the powerful ninjas - otherwise the strongest Konoha would be the Yume clan, not the Uchiha.

Itachi is very confident. With his current strength, no one can monitor him without his knowledge.

"Weasel."

"elder sister?"

"Think ninjas are the source of the unrest?"

Mingyue's question made Itachi pause a little.His calm, thoughtful mind went over the past very quickly, and he was quite sure that he had never mentioned it to anyone—not to his sister.Are ninjas the source of the unrest?of course.The strength of ninjas can vary greatly, and ordinary ninjas are stronger than ordinary people.With great power, one becomes arrogant, and then puts such power into unnecessary fights, and finally brews cruel and stupid wars, causing meaningless turmoil and death.

He hopes to bring peace to the world by himself.Therefore, when he knew that Xinxiang chose to give up the ninja precisely because of himself, he couldn't help but feel that he had actually made the world less disputed, and he was a little happy because of this.

As a result, my sister saw it.

No, Itachi is not afraid of being known for thinking like this.It’s just that he understands that his ideas are too radical for most ninjas; he just wants to follow his own plan—become Hokage, negotiate with other villages, and gradually reduce the number of ninjas—to practice his ideas step by step.

"What does my sister think?"

Itachi skipped answering, but his rhetorical question itself represented an admission.

"Me? I don't have any particular opinion." Mingyue said, "However, it is very difficult to go down the road of eliminating disputes by eliminating ninjas. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes... Cough cough, I mean' Battle'."

Itachi didn't respond immediately to this, and even his expression didn't change much—calm and restrained, there was a little light of thought in his dark eyes.Mingyue looked sideways at him, and could almost read this sentence from his younger brother's face: How do you know if you just talk and don't do it?

After a while, he said: "Indeed, as long as people's desires/desires don't disappear, disputes will always exist. But if we can curb too powerful forces and prevent unnecessary wars from happening again, then small fights can be tolerated." of."

From a very young age, Itachi seldom explained anything to others, especially his deepest dream.He is a person who adheres to the principle of "sensitivity in action but slowness in speech"; he realized early on that words alone cannot persuade others, and has since walked his own path in rock-like silence.

Uchiha Itachi wants to become the most powerful ninja, and then eliminate all disputes in this world.This dream, born in a battlefield full of corpses, has never changed from beginning to end.he will do it.

It's just—the same sentence—my sister is an exception.

Since Itachi seldom talks about his deepest thoughts with others, after he speaks now, he hopes to get a serious answer—he wants to know what his sister thinks.

So he was a little looking forward to it, and a little nervous.

Itachi looked at his sister.

However, my sister only slapped her long eyelashes lightly, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Really." Itachi waited and found that her sister had no intention of speaking again.

This answer is an understatement... Could it be that he was ridiculed?The moment this thought came up, Itachi was suddenly rubbed on the back of the head by his sister; Itachi realized that with his current strength, he couldn't escape it.

"Sounds good, Brother Itachi~" Mingyue rubbed the back of her younger brother Jingui's head, and then wrapped her arms around the shoulders of her younger brother, who is only a little shorter than herself, "But let me ask, who will be responsible for 'containing an overpowering force'?" ?”

"I will be strong enough to take on heavy responsibilities." Itachi paused, and finally felt that he couldn't bear it. He gently pushed his sister and reminded her helplessly, "Sister, stand still, this is the street."

And it's hot to hold.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows, and burst out laughing; even though she obviously tried her best to suppress it, it was not as exaggerated as laughing, but a series of small laughs caught the attention of passers-by on the street.

...Are you really being ridiculed?

"I seem to understand, little Itachi." Mingyue poked Itachi's cheek with a smile, "No wonder. I have been practicing hard because I can't see anything other than this goal; I never argue with others, and when I encounter different ideas People who are aggressive or provocative, just walk away silently, because they don't like it and don't bother to provoke disputes. Is that right?"

That's right.But itachi blushed when his sister said it with such a smile.

"So it's useless for me to tell you to make more friends since I was a child?" Mingyue squinted.

"Shisui is my best friend." Itachi said, "I have a few other friends too. Sister, I don't think the more friends the better."

The teenager didn't think there was anything wrong with his thoughts; there were too few people of his age who could understand what he was thinking.No, even if the scope is extended to adults, there are not many people who can understand this depth.

After all, he was praised by the third generation as a genius who "has Hokage thinking" when he was seven years old.

"Okay, okay." Mingyue conceded, "Don't talk about friends, at least communicate with everyone more, otherwise how can you let others trust you?"

"Why don't you trust me?" Itachi frowned slightly, with a little puzzled look on his face, "As a ninja, you trust and obey your superiors; when you don't have superiors, you trust and obey the strongest. Whether it's for survival or efficiency, this It's the best way."

From the day he became a lower ninja until he became a jonin, Itachi has always been an elite who leads others and is looked up to by others.

"Sister," he couldn't help asking, "what are you thinking?"

"Well, this..." Mingyue scratched her chin, then patted Itachi on the shoulder, and said seriously, "My intuition tells me that according to the law of shonen manga, a loner like you, Itachi, can only work for Hokage , I am the only one who is loved by everyone, so I can be a Hokage."

Itachi: "..."

"But since Xiao Weasel is my younger brother, I can still reveal a little secret." Mingyue said, "For example, the real 'leader' does not depend on how strong he is, or how many people rush forward for him when he is in a good mood." After leaving; but even if he has no power to restrain a chicken, even if he is in the most desperate time, he can make others willingly go through fire and water for him-this is the power of 'idea'."

"'Strong' doesn't just refer to force, but also refers to an ability that makes people believe in him no matter what." Mingyue paused, "No matter what."

However, Mingyue thinks, if the differences in this world can be eliminated by language and reason alone, there will be no countless tragedies that have happened or will happen.

Therefore, she didn't give her brother time to think, even if she knew, Itachi would think carefully if it was her own words.

"Okay, here we are!" Mingyue said happily.

Itachi was taken aback.He was so focused on the conversation with his sister that he didn't even notice which way she was going (a serious mistake for a ninja).He subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar sign.

The swirl leaves of Konoha, under which is the word "forbearance" with fiery red as the background color.

— Ninja School.

What is sister doing here?

"Little Weasel, you can see that the sky is bright and the air is clear and the breeze is refreshing today. It is really a good weather for traveling."

Itachi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"And I, as a person, have always advocated that children should have curiosity and exploration of the world, and they should not just listen to adults, but rather be naughty."

Itachi: "Sister..."

"Especially for those children who are already very smart and talented, there is no need to stay in school all the time, right? Now families with conditions pay attention to quality education."

"No, sister..."

"For Konoha, for the tomorrow of the next generation, and to live up to such a sunny weather!" Mingyue's mouth curled up, her eyes were full of eagerness or malicious intentions, "Xiao Itachi, let's ask Sasuke to skip class and play~ "

Itachi: "..."
