Chapter 33: Use history as a mirror!
Within the Uchiha clan.
Because Naruto and Sasuke had already eaten ramen.
So I went straight to wash up and prepare to rest.
"Naruto, Sasuke."
"Come out for a moment."
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi's voice came.
"Um?!"
The two little ones, who had just finished washing and were about to start refining chakra, heard Uchiha Itachi's words outside the door.
The two looked at each other, stood up and walked out of the room.
"Father is waiting for us in the study, let's go."
Uchiha Itachi had a smile on his face.
Uchiha Itachi seemed to understand something.
Now, the views on the village and the Will of Fire have also changed.
The three of them soon arrived at Uchiha Fugaku's study.
"Itachi, you stay too."
"Naruto, you are not one of us Uchiha."
"But, your relationship with Sasuke is no different than that of brothers."
"So, there are some things that you and Sasuke should listen to together."
Uchiha Fugaku said as he took out a scroll.
"I think you have already learned about the origin of Konoha in your first year."
"So, what I want to tell you today is about the Ninja World War, and the more famous ninjas in the village."
"It's too far, so I won't talk about it."
"Let's start with the Sandaime Hokage."
"The Sandaime Hokage, one of the personal guards around the Nidaime Hokage-sama."
"In a negotiation with the Hidden Cloud Village, the Second Hokage chose to face the Hidden Cloud Village alone in order to keep them alive..."
……
Next, Uchiha Fugaku starts from the Sandaime and tells the story of the three legendary ninjas: Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.
Next up is Konoha White Fang.
Yellow flash Namikaze Minato.
Even about the heads of various families and their special secrets...
After the story was finished, even Uchiha Itachi was stunned.
Because these are somewhat different from what he has learned.
"Sasuke, what do you think you feel after hearing all this?!"
Uchiha Fugaku's gaze fell on Sasuke.
"Father, are you saying that too much of the history told in this ninja school glorifies the Hokage?!"
Sasuke is a straight-talker.
Whatever information he gets, he will tell it in full.
"Naruto, what about you1?"
Uchiha Fugaku did not answer Sasuke's words, but turned his gaze to Uzumaki Naruto.
"I?!"
"I think the Yondaime Hokage is so awesome!"
"Why, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, was he the only one fighting the Nine-Tails?!"
"Why, in this disaster that could destroy the entire village, only a few ordinary people died, but no ninjas from well-known ninja families!?"
"Also, Grandpa Hokage is here too, right? Why doesn't he go help the Yondaime?!"
"Grandpa Hokage, isn't he the strongest Hokage?"
Naruto said, tilting his head with some curiosity.
Hearing these words, Uchiha Fugaku's mouth twitched.
He really didn't seem to know how to respond to such a question.
When Uchiha was the first suspect, they were unable to intervene at all.
Instead, they were assigned to evacuate the people as soon as possible.
As for the ninjas from other ninja families.
Ninjas such as Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku, and Aburame Shiwei all took action.
Because, in order to prevent the village from being further affected, Minato Namikaze moved the Nine-Tails away.
So, in fact, except for the beginning of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, there was not much damage.
At the same time, this is also why Naruto is hated by ordinary people, while the children of the ninja family do not treat Naruto so badly.
He couldn't say these words.
At least, I can't say now.
"You will surely be able to unravel these doubts in the future Naruto."
"Okay, that's good to know."
"Go back to sleep."
Uchiha Fugaku laughed and let the two leave first.
This time, Naruto and Sasuke's reaction was something Uchiha Fugaku had not expected.
Because he was not telling these things to the two little ones.
But, it was for Uchiha Itachi in front of him.
After the two left, Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked at his father.
"Itachi."
"What happened back then was my fault."
"I was full of myself."
"I think that with your character, you will grow better after being exposed to war."
"That's true, but this only reflects your strength, but it also hurts you a lot in your heart."
“So, this is the current state of the village, the truest state.”
"Including why we Uchiha are in the current situation, it is also because of these."
“So, I want to seize this opportunity.”
"Itachi..."
"you……"
Uchiha Fugaku didn't continue speaking.
He believed that his original choice was the best education for a genius.
But he didn't expect that at Itachi's age, he would be dragged into such an abyss.
"Father, I know."
"Thank you, father."
"Your apology makes me understand."
"Father, what are you going to do next?"
Uchiha Itachi shook his head and then smiled.
He raised his head and spoke slowly with a smile.
Uchiha Itachi in the original work, no matter what excuses and incentives he had.
The fact that he massacred an entire clan is a stain that he will never be able to wash away.
Or maybe he himself is the stain.
Any subsequent whitewashing is unacceptable.
But now Uchiha Itachi has not made any move to wield the knife against his family.
Well...it can still be changed.
Just now, Sasuke and Naruto's answers gave Uchiha Itachi a great shock.
All along, he seemed to be immersed in a strange mood.
The Hokage told him that his Will of Fire had surpassed that of the Hokage!
His father told him that his talent was stronger than anyone else's!
People around him said to him, Itachi, that's a genius...
.........
The words of countless people made Uchiha Itachi a little dizzy.
Although it is not shown on the surface, but in my heart I already have it...
Simply put, I'm already too showy at heart.
However, we have to maintain our character because of the settings given by the outside world.
This is how we get the current contradictory combination.
I believe that my choice is the right one.
After hearing Naruto and Sasuke's answers, Uchiha Itachi realized.
What appears on the surface is not necessarily the truth.
Sometimes, it's just lies.
He didn't spend much time in the ninja school, so he didn't know much about the praise of the Sandaime in the textbooks.
"Good good!"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at his son and saw the change in him.
I was also overjoyed in my heart.
Three consecutive good words were enough to show his current mood...
