Konoha's Ninja Successor

Huhuhu~~~

Shisui and Itachi both stayed in place panting, and Teru Shimura was forced by the two to activate the Wind Release Chakra Mode. The strength of the two Uchiha boys was indeed remarkable.

"Okay, I have almost understood your abilities through the battle. The battle is over." After speaking, Shimura Teru took off the Wind Release Chakra coat and sat cross-legged on the ground casually.

Seeing this, Shisui and Itachi also quickly adjusted their breathing, and then knelt down quietly in front of Shimura Teru to listen to the teaching.

Then Shimura Teru carefully pointed out their own problems to Shisui and Itachi, and taught them some of his own ninjutsu without reservation. These experiences and new ninjutsu were the most suitable for them at the moment.

The coaching time passed quickly, and both Itachi and Shisui benefited a lot from Shimura Teru's guidance.In addition to the guidance on ninja strength, Shimura Teru did not keep them in a tense state. They also talked to each other about the life of Konoha Village and the recent changes of Uchiha.

Seeing such an approachable Shimura Teru, Itachi put aside his worries and prepared to ask Shimura Teru directly for advice.

"Teacher, how do you view the village? How do you view the clan? If the clan and the village encounter irresolvable conflicts, what choice will you make?" Itachi looked at Shimura Teru seriously and asked.

Shisui was stunned when his friend asked this question, and then he also set his sights on Shimura Teru. Obviously he was also curious about Shimura Teru's opinion.

"It's really a difficult question to answer..." Teru Shimura looked at Itachi for a moment, and then his mind began to think. It is difficult to answer such a philosophical question.

Itachi Uchiha deserves to be called a genius who has been thinking like Hokage since he was a child. The depth of thinking and looking at problems is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary people. The physical and mental education of young people is very important. In order to avoid detours in the future, Teru Shimura You still need to think carefully about this question before replying.

After all, Uchiha's rebellion and chuuni are unique Hokage specialties.

Shimura Teru raised a finger and smiled and explained to Itachi: "First point, how do I view the village? It can be explained by borrowing a sentence from the First Hokage."

"No matter what happens, I firmly believe that protecting the village is the top priority. Protecting it is equivalent to protecting people, ninjas and children." Shimura Teru also dragged out his true thoughts: "This sentence is the original intention of the first generation. This is also what I think. Konoha Village is equivalent to a larger home for me. In order for my small home to be stable and peaceful, it is a necessary prerequisite to prevent the peace of the village from being destroyed."

Shimura Teru raised a second finger and continued: "Second point, how do I view the clan?"

Shimura Teru then smiled bitterly and said: "Our Shimura clan has very few people left because of the war. Now all of us together are only about ten people. The concept of a clan has long been as vague as the Senju clan. So for me , my father is an important clan member that I want to protect, and the views of the Shimura clan are meaningless to me."

Finally, Teru Shimura raised his third finger, and his expression became serious, because the third question was more acute than the first two. In fact, many people couldn't answer this question, and Teru Shimura's answer could only be Extremely subjective.

"As for your third question, you are reflecting on the extreme situation of the village and the Uchiha clan before." Shimura Teru said, looking at Itachi who had some evasive eyes.

"If there is any irreducible conflict between my father and the village, my personal approach is to ignore right and wrong, and only take a stand to protect those close to me. Then maybe I will become a rebellious ninja of the village. After all, I You can't be so selfless as to kill your relatives out of righteousness." Shimura Teru said slowly.

Shisui and Itachi could feel from Shimura Teru's tone that he was extremely firm and sincere when he said this. Shimura Teru's answer was also beyond their expectations. Shimura Teru actually expressed his thoughts so boldly, even They all mentioned the possibility that they might become traitorous ninjas, which was completely inconsistent with the image of Shimura Teru in the minds of Shisui and Zhisui.

Especially Itachi, who originally thought that Teru Shimura would be the kind of person who would firmly support the interests of Konoha even if he sacrifices his life, but he didn't expect that Teru Shimura was like most people, he only protects those close to him, and there is no big deal. Great thoughts like love without boundaries.

"Do you feel disillusioned? Do you think your master and I are very narrow-minded?" Teru Shimura smiled slightly, directly clarifying the thoughts of the two apprentices.

Shisui and Itachi were silent. They still respected Shimura Teru in their hearts, but Shimura Teru's answer was too unexpected, so the two of them didn't know how to reply for a while.

"I don't have great ideals such as protecting the village or peace in the ninja world. The reason for my actions is just to provide a stable environment for those close to me. Regardless of the big love of the former or the small love of the latter, there is actually no difference. Whether you are noble or humble, you have different thinking patterns and different perspectives on problems. My wish is to protect the people close to me from harm. To this end, I can risk my life to protect the village, and even promote the arrival of peace in the ninja world. After all, light Just to protect my family has exhausted me, and I can only eliminate those who stand in my way with my own hands."

Shimura Teru's words shocked the two of them and caused them to think deeply.

Shimura Teru's idea is pure, but not simple.Itachi and Shisui also found in despair that even a small love like Shimura Teru's was difficult to fulfill. After all, everyone was in this war-filled ninja world.

The shackles of war and hatred are bound to overwhelm everyone. The reason why Shimura Teru protects Konoha is to maintain the stability of his little family, and the purpose of protecting Konoha is also for his own little family.

This is normal. When there are so many people in Konoha, there are too many people Shimura Teru cannot name. It is impossible for Shimura Teru to ignore the sacrifice for a strange villager.It doesn't matter if Shimura Teru helps out if he can. If a disaster really comes, Shimura Teru will only choose to give priority to saving the group of people who are important to him.

As for the level of being a righteous partner, please forgive Shimura Teru for not having reached that level of consciousness yet.

At this time, Itachi somewhat understood Shimura Teru's thoughts. The figures of his family appeared in his mind, and he also had the idea in his heart that living for them might be a happy thing.

"I've also told you the answer. This is the important reason why that guy Minato became Hokage, and I could only help from the side." Shimura Teru said mockingly.

"Teacher, your idea is correct. It is human nature to protect those close to each other, which is what you call love, teacher. And for the sake of the village, the Hokages of all generations have not hesitated to kill friends or even relatives who have gone astray. , there is nothing wrong with this kind of great love. So this proves what you said, teacher, about the different perspectives of thinking. No matter which side you choose, you may be embarrassed by the other side. It is unrealistic to have both sides." Shisui said from the heavy point of view. In the topic, I also understood the profound meaning of Shimura Teru’s words.

"Then how should we choose one or the other?"

Itachi frowned. Although he understood what Shimura Teru meant, the more he understood, the harder it became to make a choice. Now he has become even more confused.

"Itachi, Shisui, people have their limits after all. If one of you two takes the position of Hokage, then you will have to do your best for your position. If you are not shouldering heavy responsibilities, I hope you can do it. At least as expected of those close to you, you have to think about your own path, and others cannot teach you." Shimura Teru said sincerely.

"Thanks for the teaching."

Shisui and Itachi learned a lot from this question and answer, and the dark side of Itachi's heart was also illuminated a lot. He now feels that he can now face up to the relationship between the village and the clan.

Cherish your current family, be loyal to Konoha, which is now able to protect your family, do your best to help Konoha's companions, and rely more on your companions when in doubt, instead of always thinking about relying on yourself, etc. These realizations are now Itachi's own "correct concept."

At least the current Itachi is not like the Itachi in the original work who can do deeds of annihilation. Shimura Teru's influence is still changing the people around him.

"It's getting late. Let's stop here today. Next, let's go to Ichiraku Ramen. Master, I'll treat you tonight."

Shimura Teru glanced at the sky that was approaching dusk, then put his hand on the hair of his two good apprentices and rubbed them. The three masters and apprentices smiled and set off towards Ichiraku Ramen.

Shimura Teru loves his two apprentices, Shisui and Itachi, from the bottom of his heart, and they may become powerful helpers for him in the future, so Shimura Teru still needs to strengthen the relationship between master and apprentice with the two teenagers. of.
