Chapter 267

"Don't take it lightly!"

Uchiha Jin said softly.

His tone was quite serious, but Itachi, who heard these words, was completely dumbfounded.

This...

What is this!

His mouth twitched violently, and he kept rolling his eyes.

"Teacher, you..." Itachi couldn't help but hold his forehead and said helplessly: "Can you be more serious?"

He was truly helpless.

Things like the Will of Fire, although he hadn't started school yet and the clan didn't teach such things,

But the problem was, this philosophy was too popular.

In the entire Konoha village, everyone was talking about this.

Of course he had heard of it!

At the beginning.

He also liked this philosophy very much and even specifically studied and thought about it.

But since taking Uchiha Jin as his teacher and coming into contact with deeper philosophies and ways of thinking, he instantly discovered the loopholes in this system.

Where the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire burns on.

Konoha ninjas burn themselves to protect the new seedlings of the village.

This philosophy is really good!

But the problem is, taking this war as an example, the ones truly burning themselves are actually the students who just graduated not long ago.

Even many students who hadn't reached the graduation season, and hadn't submitted graduation applications themselves, were forcibly graduated by the village, and then without basic training, were thrown directly into the war.

His teacher, Uchiha Jin, was one of them!

And the Ninja Academy says it's about cultivating bonds and valuing companions, but Hatake Sakumo was forced to his death by rumors and gossip because he saved his companions, which eventually drove this White Fang of Konoha to his end.

At this time, it became that ninjas should put missions first.

Good guy!

To use his teacher's words, the village has the final right of interpretation, right?

Gilded on the outside, rotten on the inside!

Itachi was obviously a bit dismissive of this set of things promoted by the village.

There were many similar examples; in short, these things completely changed Itachi's true thoughts.

To put it bluntly, this kind of ideological thing.

Was just a tool used by the village high-ups to rule the lower levels.

But now?

His own teacher actually asked him to study it?

And, what the hell is getting a girlfriend?

This counts as a task too?

He was quite confused.

"Itachi, I am very serious." Uchiha Jin said helplessly: "You are still too naive."

"The Will of Fire is a good thing; it just depends on what angle you look at it from."

"You think this thing is a tumor; that's because you aren't standing from the perspective of the Konoha high-ups."

"At the very least, Konoha can have its current cohesion, and this Will of Fire has made great contributions!"

"Even other villages have things similar to the Will of Fire; this thing you call a tumor is indeed the foundation for a village to be able to cohere."

"I call it, ideology!"

"What you should do is understand it, master it, and then use your own thoughts to integrate a better set of things."

"Isn't your philosophy world peace? Possessing absolute martial power is only the foundation; it can only let you forcibly integrate the entire ninja world."

"But this kind of peace is only false peace."

"Just like Senju Hashirama, why was there peace when he was around, and why did the Ninja World War break out instantly when he died?"

"It was fundamentally because he was strong enough, so when he was alive, no one dared to start a war!"

"But he didn't pay attention to the issue of ideology, so when he died, everything changed."

"So if you want to achieve peace, you first need to be strong enough in martial power to eliminate the high-ups of each village and completely integrate the ninja world."

"Then promote a more suitable ideology, letting everyone from the depths of their hearts identify with the set of things you promote."

"Only in this way can long-term peace be guaranteed."

"Do you still think studying the Will of Fire is useless now?"

Uchiha Jin looked helpless.

The ninja world is very strange.

Clearly, ideology has already been created, but no one goes to dig deep into it, just simply using it as a set of tools.

This is simply a waste!

Anyway, since Itachi has this intention, he doesn't mind cultivating him a little.

Itachi was stunned.

He really hadn't expected that the seemingly absurd learning task contained so many principles.

"Teacher, I was wrong!" Itachi could only nod, but was still confused: "Then what about getting a girlfriend?"

Yes.

This was the thing he understood the least.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin said helplessly.

"First, I'm not assigning you a task; with your temper, you would never think about it in your whole life."

"Second, only when a person gets married and has a wife and children will your perspective on problems become more comprehensive and cautious."

"Your thinking seems deep, but in reality, it is very broad."

"Just like a tall building, it looks majestic, but in reality, the foundation is unstable, and it will collapse as soon as the wind blows."

"Now, I, your teacher, am solidifying your foundation!"

He really wasn't lying!

Although Itachi is smart and can be considered a genius.

But, at the same time.

It is precisely because he is too much of a genius that many paths are basically skipped, and he cannot be down-to-earth at all.

The arrangement he is making now is to let him stabilize!

Of course, more than that.

Jin also truly hopes this guy can get a girlfriend; after all, he is now his disciple, and for many things, he, as a teacher, naturally has to consider more for his student.

He is not like Fugaku, a guy who only knows how to give birth but not how to raise.

"This, alright!"

Although Itachi was still a bit awkward, since the teacher had said so much and it seemed quite reasonable.

So, forget it!

After struggling for a moment, he agreed.

Just as he was about to say something else, Tekka ran in anxiously.

"My Lord, the situation is not good!"

"The people we are responsible for monitoring sent news that the three elders, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzo, secretly visited the heads of the major ninja clans today."

"Now, the heads of the major ninja clans are all secretly heading to the Hokage Building."

"I'm afraid this matter is aimed at my Uchiha!"

He had sweat on his forehead.

His entire complexion began to turn pale instantly.

Even the tone of his speech began to stutter.

Yes.

He was not stupid.

The actions on the Hokage's side already indicated that something was wrong.
