Uchiha's Counterattack

Chapter 298 Itachi's Fate Part [-]

------------

The communication between the two lasted from noon to the afternoon. During the communication, Xia Nan found that he had indeed had a certain prejudice against Itachi before, or it was because of his considerable hostility that he failed to discover the advantages of Itachi. Perhaps He has always been too hostile to Uchiha Itachi, which caused him to be blind.

Itachi Uchiha is a rather contradictory and complicated character. In the past, Xia Nan regarded the other party as a target that must be killed or must be excluded, so no matter how you look at it, he thought the other party was a very dangerous and unstable person, and for this kind of person priority Killing to ensure stability is Xia Nan's first choice as a leader.

However, looking at the smart and gentle-natured Itachi in front of him, watching him staring wide-eyed and listening to him telling the story of the village, there was no malice in his eyes, only the simplest desire for knowledge, not the same as before. The haze and despair when we met, and the huge pressure he couldn't handle on his thin shoulders.

The death blow of a close friend has not yet made Itachi despair, and the division and confrontation between the great expectations of the family and personal ideals has not made Itachi... crazy?Or go to the extreme, perhaps the latter statement is more appropriate for the Itachi of that period.

This is a very simple child, full of thirst for knowledge and longing for the outside world. Although he has experienced the test of blood and fire, in essence, Itachi has not given up the gentle side in his heart.

Rubbing the small head on the opposite side, Xia Nan's cold eyes became gentler, and he no longer looked directly at Itachi so sharply and coldly, because now he seemed to understand why he hated Uchiha Itachi so much , I even wish I could kill him soon.But now he also understands why many people like Uchiha Itachi, but...they ignore the sadness and anger of the slaughtered Uchiha people.

"Teacher Xia Nan?"

Itachi sat obediently beside Xia Nan, and the two of them were on the aisle between the corridors, facing the fiery sunset.

Uchiha Itachi's face was bright red from the light, and his red face was still excited about the story just now. He looked at Xia Nan's side face with wide eyes, with a sense of respect and respect in his eyes, Bare feet swayed back and forth in the corridor and the extra space on the ground. Itachi hadn't had a relaxed and happy mood for a long time.

Looking at the well-behaved Itachi through the corner of his eyes, the Itachi at this time is much more sunny and lively than he was a few years later, not so gloomy and unsmiling, like a teenager crushed by life... At that time, he still had his most innocent side, and Xia Nan had complicated feelings about it.

What should I do with you?Ferret.

Xia Nan stroked Itachi's hair lightly, his hands were big and warm, but his eyes were sharp.Itachi remained motionless and let Xia Nan gently press his head, showing a very obedient side.

Xia Nan substitutes her previous self. If it is replaced by the self who just crossed over and meets Itachi again, will the two of them still be able to get along so peacefully?If this world is a straight world line, then if Itachi is killed at this moment, will there be a final tragedy, and finally forced himself to almost destroy the entire Konoha and kill thousands of ninjas, eventually leading to the complete plot of the whole plot? Crash situation?

if--

Hey.

Xia Nan felt a sense of sadness at the thought of wanting to do something to a five-year-old child.There are no ifs in this world, only the reality after what happened, and the future that is continuing to move forward.Even if the timeline can be changed, what happened in the past has been deeply embedded in his memory, and his heart can no longer go back to the beginning.

Xia Nan let go of her hand, and took it back under Itachi's suspicious gaze.

Looking at the sunset in the distance, the day is coming to an end.

And at this moment, Xia Nan suddenly asked.

"Itachi, what is the Will of Fire to you?"

"The alternation of new life. The old branches and leaves fall and become part of the dust, and then become the nutrients of the new green leaves to be passed on from generation to generation. This is the will of fire." Itachi thinks this question is quite simple, but his keen mind is very simple. Soon sensing the other party's thoughts, Xia Nan probably didn't just want to ask this.

"... Passed down from generation to generation, endlessly, no matter which world it is placed in, it is the most popular propaganda."

Xia Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, he also believed so, but not for everyone.

"Then, if the growth of the branches and leaves is in opposition to the trunk, and some trees dislike the fact that their branches and leaves are too lush, they want to use external force to break up all the branches and leaves that are in the way and turn them into dust, and it absorbs the nutrients of these branches and leaves to develop. New branches and leaves, more perfect and more obedient."

"Building on the old sacrifices, stepping on their dead bodies and drinking their blood, and then building the prosperity of others, and behind this prosperity and glory, no one remembers the sacrifices of the past, those who turned into The miserable and innocent people with dead leaves and dust dancing together, their resentment and sorrow can only be buried deep under the earth, and they will never see the light of day again.

"—what do you think the branches and leaves should do if that's the case?"

Looking at the blood-red sunset in the distance, Xia Nan's expression was calm, and his words had a faint murderous intent not aimed at Itachi, and he was just talking about something that happened in the past.It was Uchiha who was purged. If it wasn't for the system, Xia Nan would have already returned to the loess by now.

The power of words is contagious, but Itachi couldn't understand that feeling, after all, he was too young.

Just looking at Xia Nan's expression, his face looked a little dignified under the setting sun. At some point, his eyes had turned into red three-goed jade, and he glanced lightly at Itachi's face.

how should I do it?No matter what the trunk is, the trunk represents the beginning of life. If the branches and leaves are pruned or even cut off, it will only damage the leaves but not the body. For a big tree, the deeper the roots, the harder it is to tear them down.And if Uchiha, who is a branch, wanted to resist, he would probably at most leave a few inconspicuous scars on this big tree at the cost of the destruction of the whole family, right?

So what about not resisting?Itachi looked at Xia Nan, and the other's eyes had turned into ordinary black pupils.

Probably not, after all, if you don’t resist or resist, you will be targeted and attacked, then obviously no matter what choice you make, the Uchiha clan will definitely be finished.So the choice made here should not be based on this logical framework, but to jump out of it.

So Itachi had his own answer in his heart, and he spoke.

"No matter how strong the tree is, it is just a dead tree without its branches and leaves, and no matter how lush the branches and leaves are without the trunk, it is just the fallen leaves in autumn. The opposition between the two is the way to death. So if it were me——I would choose to block Everything, to prevent this from happening, establish a good communication channel for the two, let them understand each other and tolerate each other, so that Konoha can return to peace without killing or injuring anyone.”

"Even if I am afraid that I will be smashed to pieces, I am willing to work hard for this goal."

That determined gaze was full of earnest expression.

Xia Nan looked at Itachi who seemed to be shining all over his body. It was a kind of halo that only people who have determined and determined their goals would have. Uchiha Fugaku was such a person in the past, and Uchiha Mikoto, Jiraiya, Tsuna They all have this halo more or less on their bodies.

However, none of them are...

Xia Nan closed her eyes sadly, no matter how time and space change, how the world line moves, your choice is so stupid and firm, Uchiha Itachi, but your light is in front of this not far time and space, will be To be swallowed up by the darkness, until you are really smashed to pieces and sleep in the darkness, your life is the arrogance of riding a cross road.
