I, Giyuu Uchiha, am not hated!

"Can you give me an example?"

This question is very abstract, but Yiyong intuitively feels that it is a very dangerous question.

If you don't generalize about specific things, it is easy for people to do the wrong thing. Sasuke was still so young, so he felt it was best not to give casual answers.

"Um……"

While Sasuke raised his head and picked his chin to think, Giyuu quietly picked up the orange juice and drank it, letting the sourness and the excessive saltiness in the omelette neutralize each other.

"I remembered one."

Sasuke clapped his hands sharply.

"For example, in the movie I watched last time, the huntress played by Fuji Kazue knew that the rebel ninja would kill everyone in that village, so she went to warn her. But no one in the village believed her, and time was very tight, so In order to force these people away, she set fire to their fields and drove them away, this should be considered. "

Sasuke said: "Set a fire is a small disaster, but killing all the people in the village is a big disaster. In order to avoid a big disaster, it should be feasible to create a small disaster, right?"

"What you just said is that it's possible' to avoid a bigger disaster. But in the example you gave, a big disaster is bound to happen. This huntress knows this very well."

Giyong blinked.

"But if the traitorous ninja comes or does not come, her fire will cause the village to have no food for the winter. If everyone starves to death, this small disaster will turn into a big disaster."

Thinking of the current situation of the Rain Country, Yiyong added, "These people have not starved to death. They may become bandits and rogues, and then steal other people's food. The scale of the disaster will be even greater."

"……right."

Sasuke said with some distress: "But she obviously did this out of good intentions."

"It's hard to be resurrected after death."

Yiyong emphasized, "Everyone is dead, so what's the use of good intentions. Since people can't predict the future, they shouldn't act haphazardly."

But people who are too arrogant will regard the scenes they have imagined as the real future...

"That's right."

Sasuke pursed his lips, touched his cheek and thought hard for a while: "Then I can't think of a more appropriate example. I can't figure out why my brother would ask me such a question..."

Yiyong said nothing.

But speaking of examples…

For example, when he first met Nezuko, she had turned into a ghost. Although she hasn't eaten anyone yet, as long as Yiyong kills her, he can ensure that no one will be eaten by her in the future.

But when he saw her standing up to protect Tanjiro, Giyuu still hesitated.

After all, he couldn't do it. Without being sure whether a ghost could kill people, he would put it to death. Punishing someone for something they didn't do is not only arrogant, but also overbearing.

After the two brothers were silent for a while, the paper door opposite opened.

"elder brother……"

When Sasuke turned around in surprise and saw those eyes surrounded by deep black, he almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.

"Sasuke, Giyu..."

Itachi Uchiha greeted the two of them weakly, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

"elder brother!"

Sasuke quickly stood up and supported his arm, "What's wrong with you?!"

"It's okay. Can I sit here?"

Although he was asking two people, his sunken eyes were staring at Yiyong.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out Yiyong's attitude towards him.

The latter nodded calmly, moved the tray behind him, and made room for Uchiha Itachi to sit down.

Giyong looked over carefully and found that Itachi had even a small tuft of white hair on the left side of his forehead that he hadn't seen all night.

Although Giyuu had expected it, the root of Konoha, using such an extreme scene as the sacrifice of his comrades to deceive Itachi, was still a huge mental blow to him.

As for the psychological impact he had on Itachi, Giyuu had no idea at all.

[It seems that it’s impossible not to solve Itachi’s problem first...]

"Sorry for eavesdropping on you...

"But the answer to this question, I originally thought that although it would not be easy to do, it would at least be easy to choose. But after the past few days, I am no longer sure."

The sudden collapse of trust made Itachi question every thought he had formed during this period.

"Since you talked about that day, I will take this opportunity to tell you directly what happened that day."

Giyuu and Sasuke sat upright, like two slightly different replicas, quietly listening to Itachi's description.

The day before training shuriken with Sasuke, Itachi received a mission to kill a pair of grandparents from Taki Ninja Village.

They are quite traditional ninjas. Ninjutsu is passed down from family to generation, which is considered a kind of secret technique.

According to Konoha's investigation, this ninjutsu can control the fungal communities under the trees to connect into patches, thereby conducting ultra-long-distance surveillance activities. Even perceptive ninjas cannot discover the location of these fungi.

When the two villages had not formed an alliance, Taki Ninja used this ninjutsu to find the specific location of the first Hokage in the forest of the Country of Fire, cooperated with the Country of Earth and organized an assassination. Although the assassination failed in the end, once it succeeded and the first generation died, the Ninja World War would break out that year.

In order to prevent similar things from happening again in the future, the Root Organization sent Uchiha Itachi to completely interrupt the inheritance of this secret technique.

But when Uchiha Itachi followed the clues, he found nothing more than an old man who didn't even have much chakra left, and a nine-year-old child whose shuriken skills were not as good as Sasuke's.

That was Itachi's first time to assassinate such a defenseless character, and he had strong doubts about the mission he was performing. Under the simultaneous effects of guilt and shame, he fell into a trance from time to time, and was almost killed by Sasuke's shuriken. Wounded.

"But this time... they obviously didn't do anything."

Sasuke didn't want to blame Itachi, but as a young man, he still felt aggrieved for the grandfather and grandson. Just because this kind of ninjutsu may threaten Konoha in the future, it seems too arrogant to kill them.

Especially when Takigakure is still an ally of Konoha.

Seeing that Itachi didn't speak, he went to Yiyong for support, but Yiyong lowered his eyelids and looked quite heavy.

After a long time, Yiyong slowly spoke, but he directly talked about another thing.

"I went to the Country of Rain this time, and I heard that Konoha once helped Hanzo Sanshouyu to eradicate an organization that tried to use peaceful means to solve the hatred of the great powers. The leader is still the leader of this root, and I guess it is for similar reasons. Konoha, protect peace and so on..."

He continued, "It seems that the Country of Rain and the Country of Fire are in peace now. But as far as I know, since that incident, the people of the Country of Rain can no longer trust Hanzo, and various rebel organizations have They sprung up like mushrooms after rain and the whole country was in chaos.

"Their enemy is not only Hanzo, but also all the ninjas of the great countries. Just wait for the day Hanzo dies, the hatred between the Rain Country and other great powers may be brought to light, and new conflicts will break out...

"What you call 'small disasters' and eradicate threats in this arrogant and domineering way are not avoiding big disasters at all, but creating them with your own hands."

Giyuu and Itachi seemed to be looking at each other calmly, but their words penetrated the latter's heart like a sharp knife.

He had already deeply understood the Rain Country and his party that ninjas did not consider issues of morality, good and evil, so they did not raise this issue at all this time.

“Man is not a god and cannot predict the future.

"Your assassination of the grandfather and grandson may succeed or fail. Once the failure is exposed, cracks will appear in the relationship between allies. At that time, what you are avoiding will appear in advance.

"The disaster you are trying to avoid was an illusion that might have occurred. But the disaster you created with your own hands is a bloody reality, and its effects and results are difficult to judge.

"Instead of doing such unnecessary things, we should think about what we should do if the 'big disaster' really comes."

When the Demon Slayer Squad learned that once Demon Slayer Muzan got Nezuko, it was very likely that he could defeat Sunshine, did everyone choose to kill Nezuko just to be on the safe side?

No.

On the contrary, the lord chose to let the team members practice group training to enhance their strength, united Zhu Shi and other all available allies, and prepared to deal with him.

When it was time to inflict heavy injuries on Demon Maitsuji Mu to inject him with the poison prepared by Miss Tamashii, it was the Lord who sacrificed himself and his family and detonated the Demon Slayer headquarters when it was unprepared, thus creating a once-in-a-lifetime disaster. Chance.

"Despicable means can only create a despicable peace. The day they are exposed, postponing the turmoil will get worse."

Some of the words were beyond what Sasuke could understand. He looked at the two people uneasily, fearing that there would be some disagreement between them and he didn't know who to talk to.

"Itachi, don't continue before you join the ANBU."

This was the first time that Giyuu took the initiative to ask Itachi to do something. "It's really chilling that even people's sacrifices and will can be used as a conspiracy organization."

"But, I... promised my father."

Itachi shook his head, "Maybe I can sneak in, win that person's trust, and know the truth about that matter."

To Sasuke, this was a pure riddle.

But Giyuu knew that Itachi was talking about the real reason for Uchiha Enhuo and Fumi's death. Returning this time, the three of them have regarded Shimura Danzo as a key suspect and clue. But this person lives in seclusion. Under normal circumstances, they can't even see each other...

"Then, in order to gain trust, will you carry out tasks that you no longer agree with?"

Yiyong's tone rose slightly, "What's more, that's simply the wrong thing to do."

"If you must go..."

Yiyong glanced at the ceiling pointedly, "I would rather see you stay in the hospital permanently."

This is a naked threat.

"Then what should I do?"

When Itachi said this dejectedly, Sasuke was stunned. His normally confident and calm brother showed such a helpless expression, which was as abnormal as the playful smile on his face.

"Now, I don't know what the right thing to do is."

"Take a leave, or go with Shisui to guard against Kirigakure's ninjas."

Yiyong gave the answer, "There is nothing wrong with defending your country from enemy spying."

It will take at least three months to stop the water, and it can be extended as needed.

Itachi could stay away from this place of right and wrong that lacked trust, or he could use the calming effect of water breathing to slowly recover his damaged mind.

"I see."

Itachi nodded. Giyuu had already half threatened and half begged. Now that his mind was full of chaotic thoughts, he felt that this seemed to be a good idea.

"I'm going to go now and explain the situation to my father and Lord Hokage. Shisui will probably help me. But early tomorrow morning, the patrol will set off for the Kingdom of Water..."

Itachi looked at Sasuke who was gradually understanding with some hesitation, "If they all agree to my request, I won't be able to attend your opening ceremony."

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, Giyuu."

He buried his head slightly, "Please forgive me for this matter. I will make up for my absence when you start school next year."

Seeing his brother's appearance as if he was seriously ill, Sasuke couldn't express his reluctance even though he had 10,000 reluctances. In the end, he could only nod his head in disappointment.

A few hours later.

Downstairs, my father's angry scolding finally stopped.

Itachi became an Anbu spy, which was the clan's plan, but now it fell short just before it was about to succeed. He really couldn't accept it. Even Shisui's persuasion had little effect (or even had the opposite effect).

But after being prompted by Uchiha Mikoto and discovering a strand of white hair hidden behind Itachi's forehead, Fugaku suddenly woke up and remembered Itachi's current age.

Because this child has always been too precocious, he also takes this child's extraordinary patience too much for granted.

In the end, he agreed to Itachi's request with an unhappy face. It's just that he has to find a way to deal with the few Jonin in the clan.

As for Shisui and Itachi, they still have to go to the Hokage to explain the situation.

"Giyu, Sasuke, are you all ready for tomorrow?"

The only one in the family who still had a forced smile was Uchiha Mikoto.

"alright--"

Sasuke responded lazily like a deflated balloon. It was obvious that Itachi couldn't accompany him to the opening ceremony, which made him very unhappy, and he lost three points of motivation to go to school.

"Don't be like this! Mom will take you there tomorrow, aren't you happy?"

"Mom, then I look like other children."

Sasuke puffed up his face.

"You are just a child."

Uchiha Mikoto couldn't laugh or cry, she poked his face, and then changed her tone, "Besides, you have been preparing for so long, you should be looking forward to tomorrow's entrance exam!"

"of course!"

Sasuke was really excited, "I heard from the uncle in the police force that even if I take the second-year exam directly, I can still get excellent results!"

"Then you have to work harder."

After saying that, Mikoto turned her eyes to Giyu, "Giyu, you should be prepared."

"Um."

Giyuu felt that he could even understand part of the Second Hokage's Water Release Scroll, so he should be able to pass the examination of a ninja school without any problem. After all, speaking from Itachi, those in the scroll are all jounin level things...

But when Giyuu sat in the examination room the next day and saw the first question on the paper, which actually asked about the birth dates of past Hokages, he threw down his pen with a snap and could only talk dryly to Uzumaki who was also at a loss. Naruto looked at each other.
