Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

"What should we do now and go down the mountain to find Kabuto, Anko and the others?"

After Orochimaru left, Itachi and Mizama were finally able to let go of their tense hearts.For a moment, Mizama felt really tired.

"In the battle with Scorpion just now, I used a large-scale Wood Release Ninjutsu. There is not much chakra left. Let me recover for a while before going to find them."

Mizunama found a stone to sit on, took out a soldier's food pill from his pocket, ate it, and began to recover.

"This soldier's grain pill is really unpalatable. I have to find opportunities to improve it in the future."

He asked with his mouth full of bitterness, which was simply more bitter than bitter melon.

"Why did you release Orochimaru just now?"

Itachi also sat down silently next to him and looked for an opportunity to ask.

"You heard the reason just now, that's just part of it. Itachi, what do you think of Orochimaru and the Second Hokage?"

Mizama looked at the direction where Orochimaru disappeared, paused, and asked pointedly.

"Which part are you referring to?"

Itachi frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"Well, let's just talk about the various studies they have conducted. The similarity between these two people seems to be that they both like to study."

"To be honest, because of the relationship with the Uchiha clan, I don't have any favorable impression of the Second Hokage, and my evaluation of him may be biased. For now, let's just talk about Orochimaru.

I have come across a lot of things about Orochimaru from the Uchiha Guard Force. As for his inhumane human experiments, I am not very accepting of them, especially since many of the experimental subjects are ninjas in the village. and children.

And what you told me before about him occupying other people's bodies through immortal reincarnation, he actually coveted my body during the previous battle.

From my own perspective, I am more inclined to find an opportunity to get rid of him for Konoha. "

After hearing Itachi's statement, Minama felt that Orochimaru had committed his old habits again in previous battles.

"Then would you like to hear what I think?"

Itachi nodded and said nothing, but his body subconsciously acted like he was listening.

"First of all, regarding human experimentation, it is not just Orochimaru who has done it. The Third Hokage and others have also done it.

Konoha Village once conducted Hashirama cell transplantation experiments and many people died. You don't know this situation.

The people who led this matter at that time were the Third Hokage and other high-level officials. I remember that many members of the Senju Clan died in those experiments, which indirectly led to the final demise of the Senju Clan.

Now there is a ninja codenamed Tenzang in Konoha Hokage's ANBU, and he also uses some wood escape abilities.

He is the experimental product created by Orochimaru based on some of the research results of the human experiments conducted by the third generation and others.

Also, Orochimaru conducted human experiments and captured so many ninjas and children. You think he captured them all alone.

No, most of the experimental subjects were captured by Danzo's root ninjas. At that time, Orochimaru and Danzo were cooperating, and Danzo even wanted Orochimaru to be the fourth Hokage.

You said that Danzo, the Third Hokage and others who have also conducted human experiments are not guilty. What's more, human experiments at the root have never stopped.

They often talk about the Will of Fire and say they want to protect everyone in the village. Aren't these things a departure from the Will of Fire?

Let’s talk about Hinata Hizashi. Is it wrong for Hinata Hizashi to kill the enemy who invaded the tribe and kidnapped his daughter? But how did the higher-ups in the village deal with it?

If you think about it from another angle, if the person who killed the Kumo ninja envoy was Danzo, do you think the Third Hokage would hand him over in exchange for peace? Could it be that the Third Hokage and others are also adhering to the will of fire?

If given the chance, the Third Hokage and others will definitely wipe out your Uchiha clan without hesitation.

There is no doubt that some of their actions have already deviated from the original philosophy of the first Hokage. "

Mizama looked at Itachi who was lowering his head to digest the information, and said calmly.

"There is no problem with the will of fire proposed by the first Hokage, but it is inevitable that there will be a few rat turds like Danzo, and they will spoil the pot of soup."

After being silent for a while, Itachi said bitterly.

"The Will of Fire, on the bright side, means that the strong protect the weak, dedicate themselves to each other, and achieve true mutual understanding between people. People in the village are all family members. This kind of will will transcend the constraints of the family.

I think this was also the idea of ​​the first Hokage.

However, with the development of Konoha Village, the Will of Fire is no longer what it was before.

Now, in the hands of the Third Hokage and others, it has developed into something else, that is Konoha Supremacy.No, this has been happening since the first Hokage.

A typical representative example is that the first Hokage Senju Hashirama was able to kill his best friend Uchiha Madara for the will of fire.

In order to protect the village, he can eliminate anyone who threatens the village, no matter who the other party is. This is already a bit pathologically paranoid.

But in addition to external affairs, it is still the same internally. The most typical one is your Uchiha clan. To sum up the affairs of your clan, this is

"I think it is not good for Konoha if you want to cause trouble, so I will treat you unfairly, suppress you, alienate you, and make you do the work of a sinner."

"Ah, you are indeed disloyal to Konoha and want to cause trouble."

"Since you are going to cause trouble, we will deal with you."

This reflects the disgusting aspect of "Konoha Supremacy", because the definition of "Konoha" is often determined by the people above. For example, the Uchiha clan is not included in the definition of Konoha by the Third Hokage and others.

Is the Will of Fire wrong? No, according to the literal meaning, it is not wrong in itself. What is wrong are those who shout the Will of Fire and do all kinds of selfish things in private for the sake of the village. Such as Danzo.

From this point of view, although Orochimaru is a bit perverted, at least he is clearly bad and is much better than Danzo and others. This is why I don't want to kill him.

Another point is that he likes to research new things, and these things are very useful. We can completely wait for him to research it and then rip him off. Isn’t it considered as using it for our own use?

For example, his research results on blood stain disease can provide me with some different opinions on your treatment. "

Mizama said while carefully observing Itachi's reaction.Mizama found that Itachi was not very disgusted with Mizama's words.

"Everyone will have biases. This is unavoidable. Take the case of Orochimaru rebelling against the village. If he was not a disciple of the Third Hokage and was a member of your Uchiha clan, I estimate that his grave would be covered with grass. .

This illustrates a problem, that is, how to define the will of fire.

The Will of Fire is an abstract idea and a lofty ideal, but the first Hokage did not point out the specific method. It needs to be completely understood by people themselves, and everyone's understanding is different, which makes it easy for groups to appear. Hide that kind of person.

Now the judgment power of the Will of Fire is in the hands of the Third Hokage and others, and it has become a tool in their hands to control the thoughts of Konoha ninjas.

Most of the time, the Will of Fire in their hands is essentially a rhetoric that deceives Konoha ninjas into willingly sacrificing their lives. "

There were many things that Minama had wanted to tell Itachi for a long time.

"Actually, sometimes I am quite confused. I think too much and my thinking becomes confused easily.

Then I can't say these words casually, I can only take this opportunity to talk to you.

Whether you agree or disagree, just come and listen to your complaints. "

Mizama let out a sigh of relief and said to Itachi with some relief.

Mizama naturally believed Itachi's words.

"Mizama, what would you do if you became Hokage?"

After hearing so much, Itachi already understood where the problem lay, but he felt that he didn't have a good way to solve it.

"The Hokage will seek his own government in his position. Maybe I will formulate various rules and regulations to manage all kinds of chaos, and replace the rule of men with the rule of law.

In fact, the problem of your Uchiha clan is also easy to solve. First, canceling the privileges of your Uchiha clan can allow you to enter some less important departments first to show trust in you.

Examine your attitude towards the village through long-term observation. If it is suitable, people from your Uchiha clan can also be considered as the next Hokage. "

The problem is stuck there, and there is no way for the Third Hokage and others to solve it.

"You are not afraid of Uchiha people harming Konoha"

Itachi thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded. What Mizama said was indeed the most suitable way to solve the problem between the Uchiha clan and the village.

"You are overthinking. The Uchiha clan did not leave Konoha with Madara Uchiha back then, which shows that your clan still longs for a beautiful and normal life in your heart.

As long as you can live a normal life, I think the vast majority of the Uchiha clan will not cause trouble.

Besides, even if someone wants to cause trouble, I am absolutely sure to deal with them.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. "

This is true. Through the battle with Scorpion, Minazama saw one thing clearly, that is, there are probably few people in Konoha Village who can beat him.

"If you really become Hokage, it might be a good thing for the Uchiha clan and Konoha."

Itachi said to Mizama very formally.

“To be Hokage, in addition to sufficient strength, you must also have sufficient prestige.

I'm not worried about my strength. It has improved a lot in the past two years and continues to improve.

In the days to come, I plan to take you to do more tasks and accumulate merit. "

Mizama revealed some of his plans for the future.

"That's why you agreed to accept Sasuke as your disciple."

Itachi remembered the conversation he had with his father.

"No, no, I accepted Sasuke as my disciple because I really think highly of him. My expectations for him are even higher than Naruto's. I have the intention to train him to be my successor."

This is also true. Naruto's character is too sunny and positive, and he is very unsuitable as a leader, while Sasuke can barely teach him well.

"Sasuke is indeed a good boy."

Speaking of Sasuke, itachi's face showed a smile unconsciously.

"Itachi, an eagle can only become a soaring eagle in a dangerous situation. In my opinion, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and Karin are all future eagles. Our task is to train them. Protect them so that they can one day become eagles.

Before that, anyone who wants to harm them will be my enemy, even the Third Hokage and other high-level officials. "

Shuijian said categorically, and it was clear that he was not just talking.

"You are right, anyone who wants to harm them is our enemy."
