Naruto's Journey to Training

The rooftop has a wide view. Looking up, you can see the sky full of stars. There is nowhere to hide, and there is no need to worry about someone eavesdropping on their conversation. It can be said that this is a good place to speak freely.

Yu and others came here soon, "Sit down and talk! If you stand, I have to look up at you, and my neck will hurt."

Yu said half-jokingly. After that, Yu sat down casually, leaning against the railing and finding a comfortable position.

It is now the last month of summer, and the night breeze blows Yu's bangs, making him look particularly lazy.

Shisui could only smile bitterly upon seeing this, and casually found a place to sit cross-legged, while Itachi could only sit obediently next to his brother, his body involuntarily moving a little closer to Yu.

Uchiha Lieyang stared at Shisui without blinking, fearing that Shisui, the leader of the moderate faction, would lead the young clan leader whom he admired astray.

Yu raised his head and looked at the sky. "Just now, Brother Shisui said that I completely denied the village. I wonder if you can tell me what point I denied about the village." Yu said slowly.

"Yu, I admit that the village has done some things that are too much, but do the clan members have no fault? Think about the Nine-Tails Rebellion, which is the most serious point that I, the Uchiha, have been questioned about. And the reputation of the Guard Department, I don't need to tell you, you should know how bad it is. I think the only way to slowly let the village accept us is to change our own attitude first."

Shisui gave Yu a long explanation, but Yu just sighed helplessly.

"Brother Shisui, I have to tell you a fact. Even if our attitude becomes humble, the village will still exclude us."

"You said the Guard Department has a bad reputation, but can you tell me what the people of our tribe did wrong? What did we do to cause our current bad reputation, to the point where even children spit on our backs when they see us?"

Shisui originally wanted to open his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't move up or down.

"Have we ever done anything against the will of heaven or earth? Have we ever used our power to bully ordinary villagers?"

"I think any arrogant and conceited tribesman would not bother to do such a thing! You can say that the tribesmen are arrogant and look down on others, but it is precisely this pride that permeates their bones that makes them disdain to do those despicable things.

"Even so, it shouldn't be necessary to be so hated and hostile!"

"Brother Shisui, you are a reasonable person. I don't think I can fool you by making up some stories. You said that I completely denied the village, but are there really some things that I can deny? The facts are there.

If I say that no one has interfered with the Uchiha's decline to this point, do you think people will believe it? The reason is that the Konoha high-level officials, led by the Third Hokage, have enough prejudice against the Uchiha. So now it is not about how the Uchiha should change, but how to eliminate the prejudice itself. "

"If possible, no Uchiha would want to go this far. Who likes bloody killings, especially when the people they kill are those who live in the same village as them."

"Living in this melting pot of a village, how many Uchiha are still single? We have friends among ordinary villagers, and we have ties to the entire village. But what is happening now? The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop! The village is forcing the Uchiha to take the path they least want to take."

"Yu, it's not the Third Hokage who has prejudice, it's Danzo!"

Shisui quickly defended himself, but his voice was no longer as firm as before. Although he believed in the Will of Fire, he was not a fool who knew nothing. It did not mean that he could not see some things. He also personally experienced the suppression of Uchiha from the upper echelons.

He had made so many contributions in the Three Wars, but he had very little credit. It was not that he didn't feel it. It was the teachings of his parents that made him accustomed to thinking about everything from the bigger perspective of the village.

But he also has a deep affection for his family, the younger generations who admire him, and the elders who take care of him! This is why he is unwilling to give up his family.

He believes that the family has always been an integral part of the village. Instead of confronting the village and creating a greater rift between the family and the village, it is better to actively integrate into the village.

However, he did not know how to achieve this future that he hoped to achieve.

He could only rely on his own hard work to let the village leaders see the Uchiha's efforts and dedication, and use his ideals to inspire more people in the family.

However, things did not go as planned. The prejudice in people's hearts was so huge that it was impossible to move it so easily. After so much effort, the conflict between the village and the family became more and more intense, so that in the end, they realized that it was a hopeless dead end.

One can imagine how much pain he was in. Even if he had awakened the powerful eye technique of Kotoamatsukami, he could not change the will of everyone at once.

This is where Shisui's despair arises.

Yu withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and looked at Shisui, who was anxiously trying to find the answer.

"Brother Shisui, this is not a problem involving just two people. The Third Hokage, the Konoha Elders, and that immortal old fellow Danzo, they think they have inherited the will of the Second Hokage, and they are wary and cautious of us Uchiha, but they have not learned the Second Hokage's broad-mindedness to accept us Uchiha as his disciples."

Yu looked directly at Shisui.

"From this incident, we can see that they don't intend to leave us any wiggle room at all. Brother Shisui, you don't know what the Nanga Riverbank is!"

"There are mountains on the left and the barrier class not far away. Once they attack us Uchiha, we will have no room for resistance. How can we tolerate them? If we still have illusions about them, then one day the Nanga River will be the grave of us Uchiha!"

Shisui stared at Yu blankly, a little dazed for a moment.

"Yu, what do you want me to do by telling me all this? Do you want me to support the radicals?"

Yu smiled slightly and slowly stood up, "Brother Shisui, don't you think the moderate and radical factions in the clan are a little funny! The enemy has already taken advantage of them, and they are still arguing about whether to be radical or moderate."

"Brother Shisui, join us! Yu will take you to see a brighter future, a road where the village and the family will no longer be a problem!"

Yu gently extended his small hand towards Shisui who was sitting cross-legged.

Shisui looked at Yu inexplicably, "Yu, what on earth do you want to do!"

"I just want to clear up the universe and give everyone a bright future. The world has been covered by smog for too long, so that too many people can't look up at this beautiful starry sky like I am now. Brother Shisui, don't you think this is also a kind of sadness!"

"Brother Shisui, please help me! You always think that the village is a big perspective, but once you jump out of the village and look at Konoha with a broader perspective, you will find that your so-called village is just this world, a piece of land that cannot be smaller, and the conflict between the family and the village is even more insignificant!"

Shisui looked at Yu with a faint smile on his face for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. At this moment, his heart and thoughts felt like they were hit hard by a sledgehammer.

Following Yu's clear words, his entire thought jumped from the family to the village, from the village to the Fire Country, and from the Fire Country to the entire ninja world.

He suddenly pulled his thoughts back and realized that his so-called peace between the family and the village was simply childish and ridiculous.

Suddenly he remembered the time of the Third World War, when he passed by a small village in the Land of Rain. There was widespread grief and misery, and orphans who had no one to adopt them were shivering in shabby thatched huts in thin clothes. They looked at the Konoha ninjas as if they had seen some wild beast.

His heart sank.

"Yu, is this your capacity?" Shisui murmured blankly.
