Naruto's Struggle of Fate

Chapter 2 The Ordinary Itachi
Before he knew it, Itachi had turned three years old.

During this period, the third ninja world war broke out.The Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind was not reconciled to the failure of the Second Ninja World War. The mysterious disappearance of the third Kazekage gave the Hidden Sand Village an excuse to develop, and then triggered the war in the entire Ninja World.

Although in the middle of the war, Konoha's atmosphere did not seem so tense.There are three generations of Hokage Sarutobi in the base camp, Orochimaru on the front line, Jiraiya dispatching and commanding, and Namikaze Minato charging into the battle. The residents of Konoha firmly believe that the victory of the war will belong to Konoha Village.

It is a pity that Konoha Shirato Hatake Sakumo committed suicide at this time.To be precise, Sakumo committed suicide in the year Itachi was born.

It's just that Itachi believed that Sakumo's death was caused by Konoha's political conspiracy.

Shuo Mao's flag wood sword technique is superb, with rich combat experience and flexible tactical thinking.In the latter part of the Second Ninja World War, Sakumo made great military exploits, and his reputation was as famous as that of the Sannin.There are even rumors that other ninja villages will turn around and run away when they encounter Konoha Baiya while performing tasks.

After the war, Sakumo did not take credit for his pride. On the contrary, due to the small number of Hatake family members, Sakumo did not have the burden of traditional big families, and civilian ninjas and ninjas from small and medium families were more willing to get close.Sakumo enjoys a huge reputation in the middle and lower classes of Konoha, and even became one of Hokage's candidates.

Challengers to order will always be suppressed by those who enjoy existing interests.During this period, the first heir of Konoha Hokage was Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, which belonged to the Hokage line.

The inheritance of Konoha Hokage has a convention, or it can be said to be an unspoken rule. The successor of Hokage is either a relative of the previous Hokage, or a disciple of the previous Hokage.The third generation of Hokage Sarutobi must support his disciples, just like he said in public that "the heirs of Hokage must ensure the inheritance of the will of fire."According to Itachi's understanding, this means that Hokage can only be selected from the Hokage faction.

Sakumo was unable to gain the support of those in power, and was squeezed out by the Sannin faction. Even if Sannin had no such idea, those who supported Sannin would carry out similar actions.

History shows that the so-called "heroes" who rise from the people often die very quickly without the support of those in power or wealthy families.Civilians can give heroes prestige, but when heroes need strength and sacrifice, most civilians often choose to remain silent.

In this way, Konoha's white teeth fell with the acquiescence of high-level officials and the silence of most people, carrying the identity of a sinner, and even did not even have a decent funeral after death.

"Politics, conspiracy, and darkness are inevitable everywhere." Itachi, it should be said that the former Zhang Hui has witnessed too many intrigues, and he has become more vigilant towards things that look bright, beautiful, and righteous.

For three years, Itachi carefully concealed his truth.Unlike many of Su Hui's geniuses, Itachi intentionally presents himself as ordinary.

Although itachi has been able to speak for a long time, itachi will wait for children of the same age in the clan to speak before making a sound, wait for children of the same age in the clan to start walking before going to the ground, and wait for children in the clan to be able to read before they can read... ····
In short, Itachi did not take the lead, but silently learned the knowledge of the ninja world when no one was around, and practiced the seal over and over again.

Itachi understands that the emergence of geniuses of the Uchiha clan will give birth to the ambitions of the Uchiha clan.Now, Uchiha's ambition is constantly rippling because of Shisui's genius performance, and Itachi is worried about Uchiha's fate.

In the same forest, the best trees are always the first to be felled; in the same fruit tree, the first to ripen fruit is always the first to be picked.

In a world where power rather than rules is the supreme law, it is dangerous to show talent without sufficient self-preservation ability.

Those who make a fortune silently and cultivate strength silently often always have the last laugh.

Now Itachi is showing his ordinaryness in front of everyone.

The patriarch of the Uchiha clan gave birth to an ordinary son, which is what the residents of Konoha talk about after dinner.

"Compared to Itachi, Fugaku seems to want Shisui to be his son even more."

"No, compared to Shisui, Itachi is too ordinary"

"Compared to children of the same age, this Itachi doesn't seem to stand out in any way"

······
Itachi sneered at people's comments, "It doesn't stand out, it's just the rafters I don't want to be the head of."

It's just that some people are very depressed, and the most depressed person is undoubtedly Fu Yue.The status of the Uchiha patriarch is there. Compared with it, an ordinary Itachi looks so abrupt, especially compared with Shisui in the same period, it is even more depressing.

Although Itachi never troubled his parents like children of the same period, Fu Yue really hoped that Itachi could be a genius.

"Itachi, have you learned the knot seal of Huo Dun Hao Fireball?"

Faced with Fuyue's ninjutsu teachings, he already knew it, but Itachi often took a while to learn it. At that time, it was almost the critical point of Fuyue's patience.

"Itachi, do you remember the essentials of shuriken throwing?"

"Itachi, have you memorized the key points of chakra refining?"

······
From Fuyue's point of view, Itachi doesn't seem to have Shisui's talent, but it's not too bad, it should be said to be above average in aptitude.Although the tribe thought it was worth cultivating Shisui, Fu Yue did not stop teaching Itachi.

Apart from studying, Itachi spends most of his time reading the collection scrolls of the Uchiha clan.It has to be said that Uchiha, as a giant of Konoha, has an extremely rich collection.Itachi plans to thoroughly understand the scrolls in the clan, especially the theory of ninjutsu before the age of five.

Now, Itachi has not started to practice chakra, but Itachi has mastered the method of cultivation.Many people think that the sooner you practice chakra, the better, but Itachi has his own ideas.If the body is a container for chakra, then the quality of the container determines the quality of chakra to a certain extent.In view of this, Itachi has been exercising his body purposefully. If there is no accident, at the age of four, Itachi's body is the best time to start practicing chakra.

"Life is a marathon. The fastest runner at the beginning may not be the first to reach the finish line. The key is the ability to surpass others and surpass oneself." Itachi deeply understands this truth.

The more it knows about this world, the more itachi has a different understanding of those talented ninjas who graduate from ninja school at rocket speed.

For many ninja families, they often inherit unique family secrets, and there will always be one or two ninjas with good strength in the family.Before entering the ninja school, the elders of the family have taught the knowledge of cultivation in advance, and even started to practice ninjutsu and taijutsu.Those who are slightly talented already have preliminary strength before entering the ninja school, which is more than a little bit or two stronger than ordinary ninjas of the same age.

Kakashi can graduate from a ninja school at the age of five and become a ninja. In addition to his own talent, Sakumo's enlightenment education is also very important.As for the more obscure level, Itachi believes that Konoha's high-level officials hope that by giving Kakashi a great honor, it shows that Konoha will not discriminate against his descendants because of Sakumo's suicide.

Thinking of this, Itachi sighed in his heart: "Maybe this is part of the deal between Konoha's executives and Sakumo."
