Konoha Sheriff

Looking at the furious Itachi in front of him, Beichen suddenly realized that he had made a mistake that was not a mistake.

He seemed to have subconsciously overestimated the current Itachi's vision because of how Itachi was portrayed in the original plot.

If it was the Uchiha Itachi in the original work who caused a catastrophe with his own hands and had been honed in the Akatsuki organization for nearly ten years, he would naturally be able to easily understand the meaning of his previous words.

But it's a pity that Itachi in front of him is only a 13-year-old boy.

At this time, he is just a contradictory combination with an overly precocious mind, but his own experience is far from matching his mind.

On the one hand, he was aware of profound philosophical topics such as "the meaning of life" early on, but on the other hand, his living environment and what he had seen and heard in the past 13 years were tightly constraining his vision.

This mismatch between mind and vision resulted in an extremely awkward result——

That is, Itachi did not want to follow Beichen's rhythm according to public understanding like Shisui and Huofeng. Instead, after realizing that the other party did not give him a satisfactory answer, he spontaneously began to analyze Beichen's thoughts with his own shallow three views. purpose, and in the end came up with an answer that was completely contrary to the facts.

Just like those young monks who have practiced Buddhism in temples since childhood, they have not yet entered the world to experience the world of mortals, but they have been taught a bunch of profound Buddhist scriptures that are divorced from the world of mortals.

What was finally cultivated was just a confused person who kept talking about "Amitabha" but actually had no idea of ​​its true meaning.

The current Itachi is just such a self-conceited fool.

He only knows that life is a fragile and important thing, but he only knows it but does not know why.

To put it more bluntly, Beichen was playing politics with him, but he was playing philosophy with Beichen.

When Beichen said those words before, Itachi didn't even think about whether what Beichen said was right. He just instinctively felt that Beichen was like other Uchiha people - he was using a higher spirit. He looks down at the villagers of Konoha; he is treating the villagers of Konoha as tools that can be used at will; he is despising life!

This kind of "disregard and contempt for equal beings" that he imagined, combined with Shisui's previous excessive praise, eventually evolved into a kind of detached anger that he felt he had been deceived.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi, who had a disdainful face in front of him and said "I have seen through your ugly face", Beichen couldn't help but laugh.

A year later, the madman who personally slaughtered everyone in his family could now despise himself from the moral high ground of "respecting life."

Isn't this ridiculous enough?

Seeing that Beichen did not show an angry expression as he expected, but looked at him with a smile as if he was looking at a fool, Itachi became even more angry:

"Why are you laughing? Why can you still laugh?"

After hearing this, Beichen stopped smiling and said with some seriousness:

"I laugh at myself for being naive, and I also laugh at you, the rumored number one genius in Uchiha. It turns out that you only have this level of talent."

It could be that he was born with a different aura, or that he had a preconceived dislike for Itachi's act of genocide.

All in all, Beichen had already made a judgment in his heart at this time.

If there was anyone who was born unable to be friends, then he and Itachi were like that.

Beichen has always been a person who likes to use the most efficient way to achieve his goals.

If he were asked to choose between taking five days to reach [-]% or taking a month to reach [-]%, his choice would definitely be the former without affecting his own future.

At this time, he had this mentality when looking at Itachi.

He had the ability to use emotion and reason to drag Itachi out of the world he had woven, but he no longer planned to do that.

Itachi is Fugaku's son but not his son. There is no need for him to waste a lot of time doing such thankless things.

He originally chose to interact with Itachi for the huge amount of justice, so why should he humbly kneel down and lick the weasel like a mother for a result that may not be achieved?

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that I made a mistake? If you feel that I have wronged you in any way, then you can just say it directly."

Itachi ignored Shisui's frantic tugging on his sleeves from behind, and just stared at Beichen with dissatisfaction, as if he was determined to get to the bottom of it and completely convince Beichen.

Faced with his pressing steps, Beichen's answer was:

"It's no longer necessary. Whatever you think... Or, even if I am the kind of person you imagined? What can you do to me?"

The light tone, as if he didn't take it to heart at all, sounded to Itachi's ears more easily than the most vicious curse words in the world, which broke his defense.

How could a person like him, who had lived in the spotlight of flowers since childhood, be ignored in such an almost humiliating way?

Without leaving any harsh words, Itachi just gave Beichen a deep look, and then quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Itachi, don't be so aggressive..."

Seeing Itachi walk away in frustration, Zhisui subconsciously wanted to chase him, but before he could get far, Beichen suddenly spoke:

"Why, Shisui, do you also think Itachi is right?"

Beichen, who said these words, had already made a decision in his heart. If Zhisui still insists on chasing Itachi to comfort him after hearing this, then he will never intervene in the outcome of Zhisui. Any direction.

Fortunately, the scene Beichen imagined did not happen after all.

Faced with the conflict between Itachi and Beichen, Zhisui's rationality finally defeated his sensibility:

"I..., I think your previous statement is correct. Solving the conflicts between the police force and village generals from the perspective of villagers is indeed more efficient and labor-saving in the initial stage than reorganizing the police force."

Although Shisui and Itachi have known each other since childhood, their growth environments are still different after all.

Although Fugaku took Itachi to the battlefield when he was young and witnessed the cruelty of the ninja world, overall he still protected Itachi very well.

But Shisui is different. Although he is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, due to Kagami's early death, he was often bullied and ostracized by members of the hawkish faction of the clan when he was young. Therefore, he has little understanding of human nature and psychology. On the one hand, there is a deeper understanding.

Therefore, after he saw that Beichen's use of Naruto easily caused many villagers to think deeply, he had already recognized Beichen's methods in his heart.

"Very good!" After hearing this, Beichen immediately hugged Zhisui's shoulders, completely stopping his thoughts of continuing to chase Itachi:

"In that case, how about we find a place to have an in-depth discussion about the conflict between the family and the village?"
