Blacksmith From Hokage

Chapter 28-Untitled

“arrogant……”

Kuroyoshi chewed the word carefully, and his thoughts drifted to the past.

As the Konoha Security Team, the Uchiha clan is dedicated to their responsibilities, and Kurayoshi often sees Uchiha patrolling the streets.

As a big family, Uchiha’s upbringing is very good, and he is polite to people.

But somehow, talking with people of this tribe, even if they receive help from the other side, it is difficult to have a good impression of them.

Kuroyoshi didn’t know the reason before, but now hearing Itachi mentions it, he probably knows it.

It’s arrogance and prejudice.

Although it cannot be seen on the surface, the Uchiha clan has great arrogance and prejudice in every word and deed.

Belonging to a clan, admiring the clan…

They are proud of being Uchiha, but never because they are Konoha Shinobi.

They are dedicated to the role of the security team for Uchiha’s glory, but never because of Konoha, as the Konoha security team, for the sake of Konoha’s prosperity.

People who are also Konoha can hardly identify with them.

Although they did not deliberately show off, they did not despise anyone.

But the arrogance and prejudice in the bones at that moment made them inadvertently distanced each other in their words and deeds.

Perhaps they did not realize that it was not Konoha who isolated Uchiha, but themselves.

If you don’t understand this, then you will understand with an easy-to-understand example.

In order to serve the people, in order to create a harmonious society, guards who often work overtime, check in for wages, actively fight pornography and anti-gang for bonuses, and fight for their own reputation…

Both are equally committed to their responsibilities, but it is self-evident who will be welcomed and who will be reviled.

Kuroyoshi thought carefully.

During his five years in Konoha, he has never seen anyone publicizing the grudge between Uchiha and Senju.

Combined with the fact that the younger generation of anime people do not know about the grievances between Uchiha and Senju, the village is deliberately removing the barriers between the various ethnic groups.

The grievances between Uchiha and Senju have passed for more than fifty years.

Already the Third Generation, the barriers of the past have long since ceased to exist.

It is impossible for the villagers to distrust Uchiha because of historical reasons.

If Uchiha were not so arrogant and prejudiced, they would be respected and trusted by the villagers, and even loved and supported by the villagers as the guards who have been dedicated to their responsibilities.

When it fell, even if he had Danzo’s suspicion, he couldn’t make any waves. At most, he would use small preventive measures in secret.

Obito fudged Sasuke that the village’s mistrust of Uchiha was due to historical reasons, and the incident of Nine Tails attacking the village amplified this distrust.

Kuroyoshi once thought so too.

But now when Hearing Itachi said that, he knew that it was all nonsense.

The real root is Uchiha’s arrogance and prejudice.

The reason why Obito fooled Sasuke with this kind of rhetoric is because Sasuke also has this kind of arrogance and prejudice, and it is more serious than the average Uchiha.

but–

“Although the cause of all this is Uchiha’s arrogance and prejudice, Uchiha has not done anything wrong. Are you trying to blame Uchiha for all the faults?”

Pride and prejudice are annoying, but are arrogance and prejudice guilty?

No.

Uchiha did nothing wrong.

On the contrary, as the Konoha Security Team, they have been dedicated to their responsibilities, and it is an indelible fact that they have made outstanding contributions to Konoha’s public order.

But not only did they not receive the rewards they deserved for their contributions, but they were targeted everywhere. Is this fair to them?

Kurayoshi stared at the back standing at the door, at the thin and lonely figure.

Only then would he notice the true age of Itachi.

He is less than 13 years old now.

Uchiha Itachi smiled.

He looked at the white snow falling from the sky, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he sketched a knowing smile.

“The world itself is not fair. If you want to survive in this world, you must either conquer it or adapt to it. Uchiha does not have the power to conquer, so you can only adapt to it. You can’t let go of the pride and prejudice of a clan. .”

“so you……”

“Yes, I want to obliterate Uchiha’s arrogance and prejudice.” Itachi said stubbornly.

Kuroyoshi pondered slightly and asked, “What are you going to do?”

“I already have a plan.”

“How sure?”

“I don’t know.” Itachi shook his head lightly. “This kind of thing is impossible, but I will remember Shisui’s lesson and I won’t believe anyone.”

“Don’t you believe me?” Kuroyoshi laughed and teased.

Itachi turned around and stared at him quietly, silent.

The room was quiet, and only the sound of the wind and snow blowing the Buddha reverberated.

For a long time, Kuroyoshi smiled softly, “I’m just curious about what you will do, so that I won’t intervene to make trouble for myself.”

As he said, he threw Shisui’s fairy crystallization to Itachi, and then said: “But to prevent your actions from failing and wasting my investment in vain, so do two things for me before you act.”

“what’s up?”

“Blood or hair of the Uchiha clan. Everyone will get me a little. It doesn’t need too much, a little is enough.”

Itachi did not immediately answer, but fell into contemplation looking at the fairy crystal in his hand.

“Hey, you don’t need to be so smart!” Kuroyoshi yelled.

Itachi looked up at Kuroyoshi, who was like a child playing his temper. His indifferent expression couldn’t help but smile, “It’s not that I’m smart, but your intentions are too obvious.”

“Cut, that’s because I didn’t want to hide it from you. After all, you have to collect a lot of things.”

“Does that require me to thank you for your trust?”

“No, you just need to do what I explained.”

“This is no problem, it can be done in one week, what about the second thing?”

“Teach me ninjutsu.”

“What?”

Itachi’s expression was obviously stunned. Although he quickly recovered his indifferent expression, he was still caught by Kuroyoshi.

“What’s so weird?” Kuroyoshi said with a flat mouth: “I am only five years old now, and I don’t have a Jōnin school, no family inherited ninjutsu, let alone a master. Is there anything wrong with finding someone to learn ninjutsu?”

“No, nothing is wrong.” Itachi said, “but I don’t recommend you to learn ninjutsu now.”

“why?”

“I have been investigating you for the past two months, so I also know your progress in practice. My suggestion is to master the Ninja Master first in Ninjutsu practice.”

“But no matter how proficient the Ninja Master is, he is not as good as Ninjutsu!”

“In terms of power alone, ninjutsu is indeed more powerful.”

“That’s not enough.”

“But ninjas don’t need to consume Chakra and can handle most tasks. In most cases, ninjas are better than ninjutsu.”

“I have a lot of Chakra, I am not afraid of waste.”

Itachi: “…”

Itachi fell silent.

Somehow, he had the urge to beat the opponent.

But considering the status of the two parties, after repeated consideration, Itachi suppressed this impulse very well.

“Even so, I don’t recommend that you learn ninjutsu now. It is difficult to explain the specifics to you at once. I will make a long-term practice plan for you after I return. You can follow this plan.”
