Chapter 248

Uchiha Itachi, sweating profusely.

After hearing this from Jin, he felt the whole world had changed.

How could it be like this?

This was not at all what he had imagined!

Using civilians as pawns to attack each other.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, as Hokage, was actively embezzling the village's finances?

All of this was difficult for him to accept at once.

But, at the same time.

He was a very smart child, so he could naturally see that Uchiha Jin was definitely not lying.

Interests, resources...

In Jin's words, the resources of the entire ninja world are limited.

If you eat one more bite, I eat one less.

Therefore.

For the sake of their respective interests, killing and scheming are naturally inevitable.

But...

Knowing is knowing, but it is just hard to accept.

"Itachi, do you know?"

"Actually, this is also the reason why the major ninja clans in the village, despite knowing that the village higher-ups are dealing with the Uchiha, are still unwilling to help the Uchiha."

"Don't the major ninja clans know the true schemes of the village higher-ups?"

"They know!"

"The village higher-ups hope that, apart from their own respective clans, all other ninja clans are targets to be eliminated."

"They actively destroyed the Senju clan, sat by and watched the Uzumaki clan be wiped out, and now they have started dealing with the Uchiha."

"Even the next one will be the Hyuga clan, followed by the Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka, Aburame..."

"But why can't they unite?"

"Because the Uchiha are too unsociable!"

"Everyone else is colluding with each other, embezzling the village's financial assets in various ways."

"And what about the Uchiha?"

"Still holding onto the mindset of the Warring States period, with an attitude of valuing martial arts above all else, and being so arrogant that they look down on such despicable means."

"Can you imagine what would happen if the Uchiha found out about the behavior of these ninja clans in the village?"

"Heh, it would definitely be chaos!"

"So, the unsociable Uchiha—even if you are wiped out, no one will help you."

"This kind of thing, simply put."

"When this world is entirely black, the existence of the all-white Uchiha is a mistake in itself."

Itachi could only remain silent.

Because apart from silence, he didn't know what else to say.

In fact, one could say.

He was already becoming numb to these words from Uchiha Jin.

He hung his head, his eyes listless.

Even Jin didn't know what he was thinking.

But, it didn't matter.

Itachi still trusted his teacher, so let's give him some time to think.

If there is anything wrong in the future, he can just correct him again.

Time, slowly passed.

About ten minutes later, Itachi raised his head again.

"Teacher, this is wrong!"

"Although everyone is doing it, I still feel it is wrong."

"I must change it!"

"Perhaps you will think it is childish, but this is my dream."

Itachi said with a firm expression.

It seemed.

After thinking for this period, he had now figured it out.

Although he didn't know if he could succeed, he still wanted to do it.

Because in his view, this world was already sick.

Doing this is wrong!

And, on the other side.

Uchiha Jin smiled.

Patting Itachi's head, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You child, you are truly interesting."

"Your teacher is not stupid; I can still distinguish right from wrong."

"Your idea is correct, and I support you."

"However, there is one point."

"Although the future is bright, the road is tortuous."

"Before you are strong enough to ignore everything, do not expose your thoughts, as that will only make you a target for everyone."

"Blend in with the dust, hide yourself."

"Strengthen yourself as much as possible, and then try to understand your enemies as much as possible."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!"

"After you walk out of this door, don't tell anyone about these little thoughts of yours."

"Do you understand?"

Itachi nodded.

At this moment, he was clearly very happy, because his teacher did not deny his ideals.
