Chapter 16: Prejudices in People’s Hearts
Konoha Hospital.
"Is this your new disciple?"
Tsunade, who was tolerant and generous, crossed her arms and looked at Uchiha Kagami who was sitting by the window, and asked Jiraiya a question.
Uchiha Kagami always wears clothes with the clan emblem, so Tsunade knows that he is from the Uchiha clan without any introduction.
To be honest, influenced by her second grandfather, she didn't like Uchiha very much.
Jiraiya had just finished the surgery on Minato Namikaze, and seeing that his beloved disciple's condition had stabilized, he finally had the mind to pay attention to other things.
Kakashi and Uchiha Kagami were peeling oranges by the window, and Kakashi carefully tore off the orange peel.
Uchiha Kagami peeled the orange in half and ate half of it, skin and flesh included.
The orange peels here don't have any pesticides, and it's more nutritious to eat them with the peel. They just taste a little weird, but Uchiha Jing doesn't care.
"Haha, I haven't decided yet, but thanks to you this time, thank you, Jing-kun!"
Uchiha Jing nodded in response: "I just felt that I could help, so I acted rashly. I'm really sorry."
Kushina had been guarding Minato's bedside, and shook her head when she heard this: "The Nine-Tails almost escaped this time, thanks to your help. When Minato wakes up, we will thank you very much."
"Hahaha, you sound like a couple~" Jiraiya teased.
Looking at the red hair that was slightly fluttering, Jiraiya quickly shut up.
He wouldn't be able to bear it if Kushina attacked him out of shame and anger.
"You have already opened the three magatama at such a young age, you are really amazing~" Tsunade looked at Uchiha Kagami with an ambiguous look.
Uchiha Jing nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, I am indeed amazing."
……
Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly and realized something.
"You little brat... have you ever killed anyone?"
As a veteran of many battles, she can tell whether a person has killed someone by the subtle change in feeling.
Uchiha Jing was slightly stunned, but did not deny it: "Last year, the elders of the family led me to kill a group of bandits."
The bandits who seem extremely vicious to ordinary people are actually experience packs for new ninjas.
Konoha deliberately retained some small bandit groups in order to provide training for the ninjas so that they would not be unable to kill anyone when they went to the battlefield.
In order to adapt to this process as soon as possible, Uchiha Jing actually went with Shenhuo when he was five years old.
The disgust in Tsunade's eyes became even stronger.
Killing people at such a young age, Uchiha...
The most important thing is that Kushina talked about the Nine-Tails' final cry. The name seemed familiar to Kushina, so she asked her clan sister Tsunade.
spot.
This name is a nightmare for Tsunade... no, for the entire Konoha.
Does Kyuubi think this brat looks like Madara...
In terms of talent, this kid is even more terrifying than Uchiha Madara described by my second grandfather.
Almost everyone who knew about the seven-year-old's three magatama believed that Uchiha Kagami could reach the level of Mangekyo.
The three magatama correspond to the Konoha jonin, and the meaning of the Mangekyo is self-evident.
Moreover, this brat's spiritual energy is so strong that it can affect the Nine-Tailed Fox right now...
Uchiha Jing knew what she was thinking and did not regret exposing his eye power.
Konoha did not have the confidence to break with the Uchiha clan. If they dared to attack him at this juncture, no matter what the cause of his death was, the angry Uchiha clan members would pin the blame on the Konoha high-level officials.
In particular, he demonstrated his fighting power to suppress Uchiha Fugaku in front of many clan members.
What he represents now is the future of Uchiha.
Of course, there are still risks.
But if you are restrained because of a little risk, you are no longer an Uchiha.
Although he is not as arrogant as Uchiha Sasuke, it is unrealistic to expect Uchiha Kagami to be low-key.
I heard Tsunade ask again:
"Little devil, does taking away life give you pleasure?"
She wanted to use this question to test Uchiha Jing's nature.
Uchiha Jing frowned and looked at her.
"I will become a ninja. Whether they are bandits or enemy ninjas, they are just enemies that need to be killed."
"Killing the enemy is a normal thing. I don't understand why Lady Tsunade asks this."
Tsunade's frown deepened.
"You little brat...you have no respect for life!"
A scoff.
Uchiha Kagami tilted his head slightly, looking at Tsunade with a cold look in his eyes, his pretended respect gone.
"From what standpoint are you judging me?"
"I don't think I need to be respectful of the lives of my enemies, and I don't think you are qualified to judge me!"
boom!
The floor of the ward shook, and powerful chakra burst out from Tsunade's body.
He clenched his fists and stared at Uchiha Jing, speaking every word.
"What did you say!"
The three-magatama Sharingan appeared, and Uchiha Kagami placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
But he knew that Tsunade now had a fatal flaw, and it would be easy to deal with her.
……
"That's enough! Don't you understand the situation?"
Jiraiya's face was stern, which was rare for him, and he shouted in a low voice.
"Tsunade, get out first!"
Tsunade glanced at Uchiha Kagami, restrained her chakra, gave Kushina a look, and the two walked out the door together.
With a long sigh, Jiraiya put a smile back on his face and moved closer to Uchiha Kagami.
He squatted down and looked into Uchiha Jing's eyes, and said calmly: "You are not a child, it doesn't matter if I tell you some things."
"Tsunade's grandfather, because the ancestor of your Uchiha clan died young..."
"Her grandfather is the Shodaime-sama."
"So..."
……
"The prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain." Uchiha Jing said lightly.
Jiraiya thought about this and smiled, "That's a very good sentence. Can I add it to my novel?"
"Yes... You should understand that many people in the village cannot let go and are prejudiced against your clan."
Jiraiya put his hand on Uchiha Kagami's shoulder, "I know there is a gap between the village and the Uchiha. This requires not only the efforts of the Uchiha, but also the changes of the village."
"So, are you willing to become my disciple, Jing?"
His eyes were burning and extremely sincere.
……
……
If it was the Third Hokage who adopted him, perhaps he could really stand on the side of the village.
However, Uchiha Kagami knew very well that the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha was irreconcilable, because of Uchiha Madara and also because of the second generation.
Until tracing back to Indra and Ashura, and even to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths.
If hatred could be resolved so easily, the world would not be filled with endless conflict.
This battle will eventually end with one side's complete defeat.
despite this……
Uchiha Jing had a sincere smile on his fair face, as a child should have.
"Of course I do! Jiraiya-sensei!"
