Uchiha's Counterattack

Chapter 79 Ferret, Xia Nan, Spring ②

_________________________
From the warm orange light, two figures slowly appeared.

"...Long time no see, Itachi."

The leader said so.

The light I haven't seen for a long time, even the insignificant candlelight, is so dazzling.

Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly, and after trying to adapt his eyes to the light, he gradually saw the true face of the visitor.

"--It's you?"

There was doubt in Uchiha Itachi's voice, and a look of guard appeared on his face.

When the visitor was fully inside the room, the light behind him gradually dimmed.He is wearing a black robe with red streaked flames on the cuffs and the Uchiha family crest on the back.From the time when he came in, his sharp eyes had been staring at Itachi.

"I didn't expect to see you here again, and then there is... Quan."

Itachi nodded slightly to the girl who was following the man, a forced smile appeared on his pale face, which made a certain girl look unbearable.However, due to Xia Nan's order and repeated emphasis, Quan neither dared to speak out rashly, nor did he dare to act on his own initiative.

After confirming Quan's figure, Itachi turned his head to look at Xia Nan.

"You appearing here means that Uchiha didn't hand you over to Konoha. And only you and Izumi didn't see the figure of the patriarch—" Itachi leaned half on the wall, got up slowly with a pale face and said: "So, are you here to judge me?"

Xia Nan didn't speak but stared at Itachi coldly. He looked him up and down with cold eyes, as if he had no interest in talking to him.

In Xia Nan's eyes at this time, Itachi looked much younger and more embarrassed than he remembered.Having not seen Sunshine in the dungeon for a long time, Itachi's face turned morbidly rosy, his eyes were red, and he looked very haggard.

Suffering from stress and darkness for a long time, the 13-year-old Itachi seems almost unable to hold on.

"........."

What does Xia Nan think of Itachi?

Xia Nan believes that in Uchiha Itachi's eyes and world view, Uchiha is arrogant and arrogant, and the culprit who wanted to launch a coup to seize power caused Konoha and Uchiha to split to such an extent.However, Itachi, who is also a member of the Uchiha clan, seems to know almost nothing about his family history and the difficulties the family faces.

Unilaterally made judgments and rulings, and then completely ignored the political environment Uchiha was in at that time with his own subjective consciousness, which could almost be called a "cannot breathe" situation.

But Itachi turned a blind eye to all of this. Although the thoughts in his head were quite lofty, he was actually just a proud and naive brat with high eyesight and low hands.

"Building a bridge of friendship for the sake of peaceful coexistence between the village and the family."

This was proposed by Shisui, and it became the common goal of Itachi and the two of them.

But what Xia Nan wants to say about this is——

Then you should fight!If there is a bridge that can't be erected, they simply push the whole family into the water and drown!
Let's not talk about where the effort was made in building the bridge of friendship. Didn't you, Itachi, look back when you were building the bridge?You build a bridge there, and the people behind Konoha tear it down there!

Then while you were fighting, Konoha was tearing down, and in the end, you blamed the other side for looking at your clansman like a fool, and blamed them for not doing anything?
Little did they know that what the people in the clan were thinking at this moment was: MD, I'm afraid this guy is mentally retarded!

Of course, one yard counts for one yard. Danzo should be the most vicious person demolishing the bridge over Konoha. If the Third Hokage thinks that they can communicate peacefully, they will not do things too badly.But here comes the question, does the Third Hokage really not know that Danzo is secretly fanning the flames and making troubles against Uchiha?
So we have two questions.If you know, why don't you stop it, or take the initiative to cool down the situation?
If he didn't know, then he, the top leader, might still have to take the blame. How can he be the leader if his subordinates can't control him?

No matter how you think about it, this seems to be a BUG event that cannot be justified.

Xia Nan's disgust towards Itachi also arises because of this, a kid who doesn't know anything is called a genius, he is obviously just a dictatorial and arrogant executioner, but he is praised for his kindness and understanding of Hokage's way of thinking at the age of seven?
No kidding, if the executioner who killed family members, lovers, friends, and pushed the whole family into the fire pit but left his own brother alone can be called genius and kind, then this world is a veritable hell.

Although Itachi may only be 13 years old, it is understandable that his thoughts are more passionate.But everyone has to pay the price for their actions, which has nothing to do with age, it's just a simple way of retaliation.

However, now there is a problem in front of Xia Nan, making it difficult for him to decide how to deal with Itachi.

That is, whether it is killing father and mother, or destroying the whole family, it is a story that happened in another timeline.In this new linearity, Uchiha Itachi has no chance to commit these crimes, because Xia Nan has already overturned the whole Konoha...

So here comes the question.

For Uchiha Itachi, the crimes in the original history will be used for trial and sealing until he dies of old age and is buried here.Or is it a chance to give Itachi who has not committed a serious crime a chance to start over?

To be honest, Xia Nan couldn't make up his mind, his instinct and his fixed impression of Itachi's original history made Xia Nan wish he could kill him with a single knife to avoid future troubles.

——But killing is certainly a pleasure, so how will he smooth things over next?

After all, Itachi is the eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku, and Fugaku is the hero who led Uchiha to resist the tyranny of Konoha. He has an extremely high status in the hearts of the tribe, even much higher than Xia Nan. If Uchiha Itachi is executed casually, it may cause the tribe dissatisfaction.

At the same time, Fu Yue is also a man who is kind to Uchiha Xia Nan. His last wish before his death is to ask Xia Nan to let Itachi go. If he is executed here, Xia Nan will be very sad about his psychological level.

And recalling Uchiha Fugaku, who was so proud of Itachi, how sad and ashamed he was when he shouted "You unfilial son!" that night, as if he wanted to kill this unfilial son with his own hands.

But in the last period of his life, he even asked Xia Nan in a pleading tone that it would be fine to goug Itachi's eyes, but please let him go.

Before Fuyue died, he was always thinking about his elder son. While Xia Nan was moved by this deep paternal love, he also fell into a huge conflict, because Xia Nan instinctively rejected the option of letting Itachi go. I thought that once Fu Yue died, he would go back to the dungeon and kill Itachi!
But in the end Xia Nan agreed to Fu Yue's request, even though he didn't know if he was doing the right thing, but when facing Fu Yue's requesting eyes, he really couldn't be cruel enough to refuse.
