Naruto: Let's take a look at the blind Uchiha

After leaving the town that was filled with joy due to the festival, Izumi finally couldn't bear the doubts anymore and asked, "You actually went out to drink with him late at night... Did my brother really regard that pervert as a friend?"

"Hmm...how should I put it?" Ling kept walking, following his brothers as they stepped on branches one by one accurately. "Both friend and foe, right? They are the kind of people you can talk to without worrying about, but you have to fight for your life when you meet them on the battlefield."

"So..." Izumi stretched out her voice, her tone full of disapproval, "How can a guy who needs to risk his life communicate with confidence? Brother, don't be fooled!"

Madara also nodded. "Anyway, living under the same roof and drinking with the enemy is really outrageous - but the worst thing is that brother is hiding it from us."

"Brother Madara, just be content. At least your brother told you what he was going to do..." Izuna muttered, "I only found out about it this morning."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry - but I promise you, as long as you open your eyes, I will definitely answer any questions. I haven't lied to you, right?"

Quan Nai didn't buy it, and turned his head away, "Humph, I won't let my brother fool me - I'm going to drink with foreigners without weapons, I will definitely tell father!"

"Eh?! Don't be like that, Izunai?!" Ling took a few steps to catch up with his brother, clasping his hands together, "Brother can finally go back to take on another mission. If you tell this to father, I will be put in solitary confinement - at least wait until I have been to the battlefield once~ Then I can recover from my injuries~"

"Impossible! Brother never cares about his own safety! Only father can say that to you!"

"Hey - don't be so heartless to brother~ Give brother another chance, Izuna! Koizumi? Izumi Nana? Nana-chan? Just spare brother this time~"

"Hmph...then where did you go wrong?"

"Brother promises that next time I will never go out to drink with Yi while you guys are around - I swear to God, if I do that again, I will become a cripple and unable to go to the battlefield."

"In the end, you still have to drink with the enemy! Brother, just wait for me to tell father! Brother, you don't value yourself at all!"

While watching the farce, Madara grinned silently where Izuna couldn't see, but he quickly restrained his smile after just a moment. He decided in his heart that he would look through the clan records after returning to see if there was anything that could help him cultivate his pupil power and speed up the opening of his eyes - he didn't want to endure this damn curiosity anymore!

After returning to the tribe, Izuna immediately told Uchiha Tajima the whole story. Ling was also lectured by his father, who pointed at his forehead and finally promised hesitantly that he would never drink with the enemy again.

"Why are you hesitating? Just state your promise clearly."

Ling lowered his head, knowing that there was no loophole to exploit, so he had to repeat himself, "Yes, I promise that I will never drink and chat happily with the enemy again..."

"You still don't understand what I'm saying," Uchiha Tajima looked at the white silk on his eldest son's face, and in the end he couldn't say anything reproachful, he just sighed, "The point is not about drinking and talking happily, but that you were so bold as to go there without a weapon.

Ling, I knew long ago that you were a child with a lot of ideas and could firmly implement them. Sometimes, I even felt ashamed of myself because of your thoroughness. If it weren't for that incident, I might have already started to pass the throne to you and throw myself into the battlefield... Because I know that with your ability, you can definitely lead Uchiha to a different, but better path. "

Ling looked up in surprise, obviously not expecting to hear such words.

Uchiha Tajima looked a little sad, but his tone was particularly firm, "Being able to put aside your opponent and drink and chat happily with him is certainly a manifestation of personal charm and courage, but before that, we must pay more attention to the hatred between us... Ling, let me ask you, in your opinion, what is hatred?"

"Hatred? Hmm..." Ling lowered his head again, frowning, "An emotion born out of powerlessness at certain moments, dominated by guilt towards the dead?"

"No, the essence of hatred is the pain that the living cannot endure..."

"Father..."

Uchiha Tajima closed his eyes, with a hint of self-blame in his voice, "The living will miss and recall, and that is why it is not easy to get out of hatred and understand what you should do - the so-called pain is not something that can be suppressed by reason alone, and strong pain can also make people do things that are beyond their expectations and difficult to estimate.

So, Ling, maybe your enemies will be attracted to you and imitate you to do something, so that you think you share the same ideals - but people's ideas will change all the time as their experiences change. You can't be sure that the person will be the same as usual after moving forward. Even the most shrewd politicians can't see through everyone's heart. You must always be vigilant. "

This time, Ling was silent for a long time before speaking, but the determination in his tone was not less than that of Tiandao, "I don't want to see through everyone's heart, and I know I don't have that ability, and I have never let down my guard - but if you want to accomplish something personally, someone is destined to put away the spikes first and take the first step at the risk of getting hurt."

"Then there is no need to find a collaborator who is destined to be hostile."

"But after years of fighting, isn't it true that only enemies can understand each other's minds best?"

Ling knelt upright, looking up in the direction of Uchiha Tajima, "They will do their best to investigate you and understand you, and because they have experienced the same struggles and felt the same pain, they know why you have such thoughts and why you do this, and therefore they will hinder you.

There will never be anyone in this world who is more capable than your enemies who have been entangled with you for generations, and there will never be anyone who is more sincere to you than them...

And if even they truly agree with what you want to do, then this matter will definitely be settled after several twists and turns. In order to make the vision in my heart more likely to be realized, I will try my best to try it no matter what - besides, even if it is cooperation, not everyone is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Uchiha like us."
