Chapter 167

Yes.

He really found it hard to understand; one must know that Itachi, as his son, received the most elite education in the clan.

He actually hadn't thought that Uchiha Jin could teach his son anything in a true sense by making him his teacher.

The reason was also very simple.

Uchiha Jin was indeed powerful, but that was only due to the Mangekyo.

And the awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan, to put it bluntly, was all based on luck; he didn't think Uchiha Jin had any methods.

Besides the Mangekyo, what else did Uchiha Jin have?

His parents died when he was young, and he was a dead-last in the ninja academy; what could he teach his son?

To put it bluntly.

Letting Itachi take Uchiha Jin as his teacher was just to build a relationship and let the two establish a bond.

With Uchiha Jin as his teacher, Itachi's path in the future could be a bit smoother.

Other than that, nothing!

He didn't even think Jin could help him.

After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan was something that required consuming pupil power.

And pupil power could not be replenished; the more you consumed, the less you had.

This destined that Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo could never be used unless necessary.

Just like nuclear weapons in his past life, it was a strategic thing.

Therefore.

Seeing his son so focused, even ignoring him and Mikoto, he naturally became interested.

Itachi received the most elite education in the clan; what exactly did Uchiha Jin teach to make Itachi focus to this extent?

And, on the other side.

Uchiha Itachi didn't know his father's inner thoughts.

He pondered for a moment.

He felt that what Jin said was probably just some basic principles, so he thought there was nothing to hide.

He thought that normal adults should probably understand.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate.

He told everything about his conversation with Jin today in detail, and then spoke with a helpless face.

"That is how it is."

"In just less than half a day, the teacher of course didn't have time to teach me training."

"It's just that I saw the teacher communicating very well with others in the village, and others didn't reject the teacher because of the Uchiha, so I couldn't help but ask the teacher about the problems I couldn't figure out on the battlefield."

"Actually, I didn't think the teacher could really answer me at first."

"But, unexpectedly."

"I was still too naive; the things the teacher guided me on were things I had never considered before."

"The world of adults is simply too complicated, and there are too many problems to consider."

"I used to think Father was a bit weak, but now I understand that it was I who was too naive."

"Each faction within the clan, and even everyone's thoughts, are different."

"For Father to be able to make everyone listen in major matters, it must have been quite difficult."

"So, I want to say sorry to you."

"It was my son who was naive before; in the future, I will work hard to improve myself, hoping to better help Father."

Itachi said with emotion.

When talking about his gains today, he couldn't help but sigh.

He sighed that he had been too naive before.

Uchiha Fugaku: "..."

His forehead was full of question marks, and his entire brain was blank.

He was bewildered!

He had never heard of those theories of Uchiha Jin's?

Is that how war works?

I don't know!

Fugaku had never considered these questions that Jin and Itachi were thinking about in his entire life.

The Uchiha's brain circuit was very simple: if you say fight, I'll fight with you; they were too lazy to consider anything else.

War is just war!

However.

After listening to Itachi's explanation, he pondered it carefully, and it seemed that it was really the case.

Especially this matter of the Hidden Sand Village.

Listening to Jin's analysis, it seemed that regardless of success or failure, they were indeed making a profit.

Holy crap!

Is this still war?

Population, land, resources, diversion of conflict...

Many problems he couldn't figure out before—now that they were analyzed like this, he instantly felt that he had really understood the answer.

Just like the Uchiha and the village.

Before, he thought it was because the Uchiha were too arrogant, or even rebellious, which was why they were out of tune with the village.

But using Jin's theory, he seemed to understand something.

But...

If he were to explain it specifically, he felt as if a layer of fog had covered it, vaguely unclear.

However, he knew.

Jin must know!

Although Itachi's flattery made him feel a bit embarrassed, he still couldn't help but speak.

"Itachi, your teacher is right."

"Remember to learn well from your teacher in the future; of course, if you have time, you might as well ask about the relationship between our Uchiha and the village."

"See what your teacher says, and remember to tell Father when you come back, got it?"

Yes.

Since he couldn't figure it out himself, he would go find someone who could.

Anyway, they were all Uchiha, his own people!

Now he was actually a bit glad that he had the foresight to let Itachi take such a good teacher.

In terms of ninjutsu, it didn't matter if he taught or not.

But wisdom was what the Uchiha lacked the most.

Therefore.

While letting Itachi learn well from Jin, he would also ask about the relationship between the Uchiha and the village.

In this way.

In the future, when dealing with matters between the village and the Uchiha, he could also be at ease with Jin's reference.

Right, also.

Didn't Jin still hold the position of Minister of the Police Force?

This was directly linked to the village; he used to think it was fine for Jin to just hold the title, but now it seemed he should completely hand the position to him and see how he handled the relationship between the Uchiha and the village.

Hmm, very good!

I'll go find Jin tomorrow to talk about it; as the Minister of the Police Force, not going to work every day doesn't look good! ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
