Chapter 1383: Partners of Justice, Prioritizing the Interests of the Majority
Who loves Konoha more, Sarutobi Hiruzen or Uchiha Itachi?

There is no need to think about this question at all. No matter whether those things were Danzo's fault or Danzo took the blame for Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is an ironclad fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen protected Danzo. Just on this point, he may not have done more good than good for Konoha, but there is definitely no problem in offsetting his merits and demerits.

But what about Uchiha Itachi?
Although it was a brain-wracking idea to destroy the Uchiha clan in advance in order to prevent their rebellion from affecting Konoha, can you deny his love for Konoha?

Uchiha Itachi even destroyed his own family and parents for the sake of Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was reluctant to kill even Danzo. Doesn't this prove something?

Ordinary group leader: "To some extent, Uchiha Itachi is the one who truly implements the beliefs of Senju Hashirama."

An ordinary group leader: "I will not back down even a little bit if anyone threatens the village, even if it's my brother, friend, or even my child."

Ordinary group leader: "There is no doubt that Uchiha Itachi truly lived up to this statement."

The more Su Yunqing thought about it, the more he felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen's comment that Uchiha Itachi had been able to look at problems from the perspective of a Hokage since he was a child was correct. It was indeed correct.

Although his consideration was very one-sided, he really implemented the will of the Hokage, and it was the will of the first generation of the Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Is there anyone else who can implement this will except Hashirama Senju?

Can he, Tobirama Senju, do it? Can he, Hiruzen Sarutobi, do it? Can he, Minato Namikaze, do it? Or can she, Tsunade Senju, do it? Can Hatake Kakashi do it?
Or maybe he, the King of Pots of Konoha and the 5.5th Hokage - Danzo Shimura, can do it. No, he really can do it.

Su Yunqing quickly stopped her "criticism" of the successive Hokage regarding the Hokage's will. She could deny anyone but could not deny the 5.5th Hokage Danzo Shimura's "love" for Konoha.

Although he did all kinds of bad things, most of the things related to "evil" in Konoha and even in the ninja world were directly or indirectly related to him. The fact that Konoha's combat effectiveness became weaker with each generation was also inseparable from his influence. But you cannot deny his love for Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi could kill his relatives and friends, but Shimura Danzo couldn’t?

As long as he can become Hokage, he can do anything and thinks it is his due.

After all, he truly felt that everything he did was for Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi's reasons have some truth to them, but Danzo's are purely idealistic, and that's still his heart.

Ordinary group leader: "The two people who best implemented the Will of Fire were actually the two people who didn't become Hokage."

Ordinary group leader: "You Hokage really need to reflect on this."

Su Yunqing sighed, and this sigh was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making all the group members look unhappy.

The richest man in the lighthouse: “Hahahaha.”

The richest man in the lighthouse: "You know what, it actually makes sense."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "I can't even imagine how glorious Konoha would become in their hands if they could become Hokage."

Tony Stark couldn't stop the smile on his face, imagining in his mind the impact that Uchiha Itachi or Shimura Danzo would have on Konoha and the entire ninja world after they officially became Hokage.

I can’t think of it, I really can’t think of it.

With his "poor" thinking, he really couldn't imagine how "glorious" Konoha could be governed in their hands.

The Great King of Asgard: "If they really come to power, the first thing they will do after they come to power is to suppress the Uchiha clan."

The Richest Man in Lighthouse: "Are you so sure?"

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Danzo is easy to say, he has been coveting the Uchiha clan's Sharingan for a long time. As long as the Uchiha clan is not destroyed, he will probably dream of becoming the Uchiha."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "But Uchiha Itachi only wants peace between Konoha and the Uchiha clan. Although his heart is more inclined towards Konoha and he is even willing to destroy the Uchiha clan for Konoha, if he becomes Hokage, then the problems between the Uchiha clan and Konoha will naturally be solved."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "The Uchiha clan does not say that they support Uchiha Itachi unconditionally, but they are absolutely willing to cooperate, even at the cost of giving up some of their interests."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Under this circumstance, why do you think Uchiha Itachi would suppress the Uchiha clan?"

Tony asked with interest as he looked at what Loki said.

There is nothing much to explain about Danzo. His targeting of the Uchiha clan has nothing to do with whether he becomes Hokage or not. Does that mean he is not targeting the Uchiha clan now?

But Uchiha Itachi, why is Loki so sure?

Even though in Uchiha Itachi's heart Konoha is countless times more important than the Uchiha clan, and he was even willing to personally exterminate the Uchiha clan in order not to affect Konoha, but after he took office, all the problems between Konoha and the Uchiha clan would be resolved.

In this case, what reason does he have to suppress the Uchiha clan?
The Great King of Asgard: "Because he is prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, or he has no good feelings towards the Uchiha clan."

The great king of Asgard: "With this kind of thinking, no matter what the Uchiha clan does in the future, he will never think that the Uchiha clan is right."

The Great King of Asgard: "Not to mention that the Uchiha clan is in charge of the Konoha Guard, which is bound to cause disputes with the villagers and is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the villagers and even other families. This dissatisfaction will be even greater after Uchiha Itachi becomes the Hokage."

The great king of Asgard: "The Uchiha clan was so arrogant before the Hokage was born. After the Hokage was born, their arrogance will only become worse."

The great king of Asgard: "If Uchiha Itachi can manage the Uchiha clan well, then there will be no problem. After all, although personality cannot be changed, it can be tolerated and the way of dealing with things can also be changed."

The great king of Asgard: "But Uchiha Itachi would not do that. He would only attribute all the problems to the Uchiha clan, thinking that he had obviously become the Hokage, and what the Uchiha clan had wanted to do for so many years had obviously been achieved, so why couldn't the Uchiha clan be stable and live in peace with Konoha."

The Great King of Asgard: "A person who is a member of the Uchiha clan but does not like the Uchiha clan becomes the Hokage. His actions will be even more extreme than Sarutobi Hiruzen."

The great king of Asgard: "At least Sarutobi Hiruzen will not do anything on the surface. He will only take the method of boiling a frog in warm water to deal with the Uchiha clan. But Uchiha Itachi will not do that. He will think that becoming Hokage may be a mistake, and that people of the Uchiha clan should not become Hokage. He thinks that the Uchiha clan has no meaning to Konoha."

The Great King of Asgard: "I even suspect that he will abdicate after choosing the next Hokage, and then exterminate his clan and defect from Konoha again."

Call it prejudice or suspicion towards Uchiha Itachi, at least in Loki's eyes, if Uchiha Itachi really became Hokage, it would definitely not be much better than what he said.

Because Uchiha Itachi had no good feelings towards the Uchiha clan, even his parents.

Except for his confidant Uchiha Shisui and his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke, he will show no mercy to anyone.

If something must be said, Uchiha Izumi would be added at most, but in Loki's eyes, Uchiha Izumi's death was also inevitable.

With different philosophies, Uchiha Izumi could not understand what Uchiha Itachi did, unless she was a love-brained person like Uchiha Obito, but her affection for Uchiha Itachi was not enough to forgive him after witnessing him killing his entire clan.

Golden Flash: "It shouldn't be to this extent."

Namikaze Minato felt that Loki might have some prejudice against Uchiha Itachi. Although he also felt that what Uchiha Itachi did was a bit extreme and even hard to forgive from the perspective of relatives and clan members, it would be a bit too much to say that he had no good feelings towards the Uchiha clan.

The Oldest God Slayer: "Not really? No, it's a matter of course."

The oldest God-slayer: "Uchiha Itachi himself is a man who is both righteous, tolerant, loving, and peace-seeking, and yet twisted, paranoid, and repressed, and conceited."

The Oldest God Slayer: "From the memories of his childhood and adulthood, it is not difficult for me to understand why he is so extreme."

Marquis Vauban sneered and completely agreed with what Loki said.

It is true that Uchiha Itachi is patient and righteous, but it is also true that he is paranoid, conceited, and has a strong desire to control Uchiha Sasuke; after all, his experiences since childhood have destined him to do many things in the future that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The Oldest God Slayer: "It's not that he has no affection for the Uchiha clan, but he resists and hates them."

The Oldest God Slayer: "Whether facing the Uchiha clan or his father, Uchiha Fugaku, it's the same."

The Oldest God Slayer: "I don't know what kind of education Uchiha Itachi received from Uchiha Fugaku before he was four years old, nor do I know why he defined the battlefield as a place for teaching."

The Oldest God Slayer: "But I noticed that when he was feeding water to a ninja from Iwagakure, the ninja saw his ninja bag and judged that he was a hostile enemy and tried to stab him in the back, but was killed by him on reflex."

The Oldest God Slayer: "Note, this was not a premeditated killing, but a conditional killing. This means that he received a lot of combat training before he was four years old."

The Oldest God Slayer: "And after killing someone, he didn't feel any shock or fear towards blood or death, as if he had already gotten used to it. This is very normal for both him and Uchiha Fugaku."

The Oldest God Slayer: "Do you think this kind of education will produce a normal human being?"

Even a ruthless man like Marquis Vauban felt that Uchiha Fugaku's training of Uchiha Itachi was unfair; rather than saying that he was training an heir, it would be better to say that he was training a weapon, a weapon to help the Uchiha clan achieve its goals.

Ordinary group leader: "I remember now, I remember that Uchiha Itachi's thoughts on life seemed to have started from this time."

Ordinary group leader: "Uchiha Itachi asked Uchiha Fugaku why this ninja wanted to kill him. Uchiha Fugaku told him that this was war and ordered him to remember the cruel scene before him."

When Su Yunqing saw what Marquis Woban said, he suddenly remembered the communication between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi. It was also from this time that Uchiha Itachi began to think about life.

Later, the young Uchiha Itachi kept thinking about the question of what life is. He even went to ask Snake and even deliberately jumped off a cliff to experience death. When faced with the thanks from the little girl he had saved, he just replied expressionlessly, "Fortunately you didn't die."

A four-year-old child first killed a ninja in a sea of ​​corpses and blood, and then was ordered by his father not to forget this scene. How can his thinking about life not be extreme?

The Oldest God Slayer: "These experiences have made Uchiha Itachi extremely cherish [life]. However, it is not that he does not want to harm any life, but how to make more lives immortal."

Ordinary group leader: "Emiya Kiritsugu?!"

Ordinary group leader: "No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen said he has the mindset of a Hokage. This mindset is not to look at the problem from Konoha's perspective, but to prioritize the interests of the majority."

Su Yunqing murmured, and completely understood why Uchiha Itachi did that.

This is the trolley problem. There is one person on one side and five people on the other side. Although most people believe that saving more lives should be prioritized, if your loved ones are on the other side of the tracks, how many people can firmly adhere to this value?

This is a rather terrifying kind of "altruism" and "big picture perspective", and only a very small number of people will sincerely implement the approach of "giving priority to the interests of the majority".

No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen commented that Uchiha Itachi, who was only seven years old, possessed the thinking of a Hokage. This kind of thinking seems easy, but few people can do it.

Why can a person who loves peace and is tired of disputes become a butcher who massacres a whole clan? Because the lives he loves are not specific individuals but abstract groups. He can cruelly slaughter a hundred lives for a thousand lives.

Just like Kiritsugu Emiya in the Type-Moon world, they can give up the lives of a few people without hesitation in order to save the majority, even if these people include their relatives and loved ones.

Golden Flash: "Fugaku puts too much pressure on Itachi."

Namikaze Minato shook his head. To some extent, what Su Yunqing said was not wrong. Even in the memory copy, he sacrificed his own life, Kushina's life, and Naruto's happiness for the lives of the villagers.

From the perspective of Hokage, he is qualified, but from the perspective of husband and father, he is undoubtedly a failure.

Although he still doesn't know whether this thinking is right or wrong, he will avoid making such a decision again.

It sounded ridiculous, but he really didn't know how to choose.
