Naruto starts from live broadcasting to the ninja world

When these words were spoken, the ninja world was in an uproar.

"Is this what Madara wants?"

"So, Madara's goal is to trap all of us in a genjutsu?"

"Everyone is being manipulated by him... If he wants peace in the ninja world, he can do it..."

"Then Madara thought, can we still eat and drink after being hit by the genjutsu? He can't feed us one by one, right? If we all died of starvation and thirst, the ninja world would indeed be at peace... No wonder Naruto and Sasuke who stopped him are the saviors, they really deserve it."

"Is this the only goal of Indra's reincarnation? I thought he would bring peace to the ninja world, but he actually believed in such a fantasy. It's really disappointing."

"I don't want to get involved in any illusion. I hope Naruto and Sasuke grow up quickly."

Just when everyone in the ninja world was criticizing Madara for his unrealistic goal.

Pure Land

Madara frowned, "You only talked about the illusion? Why didn't you mention that in this illusion, everyone's inner wishes will be satisfied? Otherwise, wouldn't I become a complete careerist in the eyes of everyone in the ninja world?"

Izuna scratched his ears, suspecting that he had heard it wrongly.

"What? You want to trap everyone in illusions and manipulate them? No... that's not right! This must be Sasuke's prejudice against his elder brother! That's why he missed some key information! Damn Uchiha Sasuke! How could you make your elder brother sound so evil!"

If this is true, and humans have no thoughts of their own and are just immersed in illusions like a deep sleep, then what is the point of maintaining peace in the ninja world?

Tobirama sneered, "Is this the method you found after leaving Konoha? You are willing to destroy the village to achieve this goal? Moreover, this method completely disregards the feelings of the people in the ninja world. It is only natural that people will unite to resist it."

"If you like illusions so much, why don't you cast an illusion on yourself? It's all illusion anyway. Wouldn't it be better to let yourself give orders to everyone in the illusion and witness the peace you create? No one is stopping you, but you insist on using illusions to control the entire ninja world. You are a person from the old times, and you only know how to cause trouble for others all day long."

Several people in the field looked at Sasuke in silence.

Sasuke continued: [That is to say, my brother, without ever mentioning your will, inherited it silently.]

Sasuke lowered his eyes and murmured: [My brother... My brother shoulders the responsibility of the clan, but he stands between the opposition between the village and the clan. He did not hesitate to kill his own parents... He carries the stigma of a traitor who massacred the entire clan, but he still monitors the organization that is hostile to the village.]

Sasuke lost in memories.

in memory

Inside a pub

Four Konoha ninjas were discussing something about Itachi.

[We received news that Itachi of Akatsuki has died. 】

Sasuke, who had his back to them, paused slightly with his hand holding the wine glass.

【Remove him from your wanted list. 】

【The traitor is finally dead. 】

[But who was it that killed Itachi? The captain.]

[I heard it was his brother Uchiha Sasuke. It's ironic that the murderer who massacred his compatriots finally died at the hands of his compatriots. ]

[This is retribution! He committed a heinous crime! Later he even joined Akatsuki to attack Konoha. That guy is simply a rare villain in Konoha's history! ]

[I really want to kill him myself! ]

Just when Sasuke was about to settle the score with them, he was stopped by the masked man.

End of memories

Ninja World

"Tsk. If you knew the truth you wouldn't say that. The people who have the least right to say that about Uchiha Itachi are the people of Konoha."

"If a rebellion breaks out in Konoha Village, it will be weak after the rebellion is suppressed, and other big countries will take advantage of the situation. Then the small countries around it may also be implicated, just like the Rain Country. Although Uchiha Itachi did such a thing, there are many people who want to thank him."

Because that touches their own interests.

The ninja world has experienced three major wars. The small countries around the big countries have been trying to survive in the cracks, and the people are in dire straits.

For example, the Grass Country is a fence-sitter sandwiched between Konoha and Iwagakure. If Konoha is strong, they will stand with Konoha, and if Iwagakure is strong, they will stand with Iwagakure. Is that shameful? They are just trying to survive.

The people didn't have much to begin with, and if the Uchiha clan's coup caused the Fourth Shinobi World War to break out early, they might lose what little they already had, such as their own lives or the lives of their loved ones.

The lives of the innocent children of the Uchiha clan are lives, and their lives and the lives of their relatives are naturally lives as well. Compared to this, what do Itachi’s actions to maintain peace mean in their eyes?

Of course, even so, there are many people in the ninja world who cannot stand what Itachi has done.

After all, killing parents and innocent children in the tribe is in itself challenging the limits of human nature.

The Uchiha had their own reasons for the coup. Perhaps there were no innocent people in the clan that staged the coup, but this should not have been done by a junior like Itachi.

Filial piety and loyalty cannot be just multiple-choice questions.

Then there is the issue of angle.

From the perspective of the Uchiha clan and human morality, Itachi was naturally wrong. Even just looking at this incident, he was worse than a beast.

From the perspective of Konoha Village, Itachi protected their peace, killed all the Uchiha people to quell the civil war, and avoided the sacrifice of the village's ninjas.

From the perspective of a ninja...

Itachi is a hero who has broken the moral limits of human beings and has done unforgivable evil things, but he has also protected the interests of their class.

This benefit is of vital importance. It is what they have very little, or even the only thing they have left, so Itachi is a hero.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head.

Sasuke looked at Hashirama and continued: [And, after death...die with the pride of being a Konoha ninja.]

[Brother, I can endure humiliation and hardship more than you. ]

[The ninja who understands you the most is a Uchiha. How ironic.]

Tobirama suddenly said: [Not only your brother, among my subordinates, there is a man who looks very similar to your brother, his name is Uchiha Kagami. ]

Sasuke asked in surprise: [Second generation, don’t you hate Uchiha? ]

[That's not the case. No matter which family it is, as long as they may threaten the village, I will keep an eye on them. That's all.]

[The Uchiha back then really needed to be more vigilant in this regard, but because the Uchiha family is very sentimental, there are many people like your brother and Uchiha Kagami who are willing to jump out of the limitations of the family and work hard for the village.]

[My eldest brother believes that the meaning of the village is to eliminate the boundaries between families, but it is not easy to do this. My eldest brother, Hashirama, is naive, and Uchiha Madara is dangerous. While dealing with the two, it is my job as the Second Hokage to protect and consolidate the village.]

Hashirama was originally listening blankly, but when he heard his own daughter, Oododo, saying that he was naive, he immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.
