The setting sun gradually set in the west, and the afterglow reflected on the surface of the earth stretched the figures of Shisui and Shoji into slender shapes. They left Nanga Shrine. They did not return to the clan, but headed west.
Taking two more steps, he went straight to the edge of Konoha Hidden Village. Shoji could probably guess the reason why Shisui called him.
Naturally, he deliberately kept silent to wait for Shisui to speak first.
Shisui, on the other hand, seemed to be stuck in a state of confusion and hesitation.
Twenty minutes have passed since I walked here from the forbidden area of my home. I was silent all the way, as if the two of them really went out for a walk together to relax.
Just when the generals and others were doubting life and wondering whether they should speak first.
"Now? Shoji, what do you think of the current situation of our Uchiha clan?"
Shisui's body suddenly froze.
An expression that seemed to be one of determination.
He stopped his steps, raised his eyes again, straightened his body, looked at General who had also stopped subconsciously, and asked in a calm tone.
Tell the truth.
Shisui was still only 12 years old at this time.
Use an adult-like tone to ask questions.
This somewhat makes Shoji feel a slight sense of disobedience. After all, according to his life experience in another world, a 12-year-old boy is in the first grade of junior high school at most, and should be an age where he can have more fun.
But it is precisely because of this that the general can understand the cruelty of this world.
Even in the world of the previous life.
There are also scary areas where children at just a few years old know how to shoot and kill.
But the distance from Shoji is too far, and there is no real feeling at all. It is difficult for Shoji to empathize with him, but it is different in this life. Shoji himself set foot on the battlefield to kill people at the age of eight or nine. The Uchiha in front of him was only
Water's hands were stained with the blood of the enemy.
Now he looks young and immature.
It carries the heavy burden of the clan and the village.
The former is a close relative of the clan, and the latter is a member of the Shinobi Village Daiichi.
One mistake could lead to the tragic death of thousands or even more people, which forced Shisui to be cautious.
The general was also thinking of this.
The expression in the depths of his pupils also became extremely solemn.
"It's a very dangerous situation. This is my opinion. There are only two of us here, so I will say it bluntly. Shisui, the riot of the Nine-Tails, especially the Sharingan that appeared in the fox's eyes, put our clan in extreme danger.
In this dangerous situation, to put it bluntly, there is not a single outsider in the entire village who would choose to believe in us, including those other ninjas or ninjas from civilian backgrounds who have always been low-key and neutral."
"These people are like this, let alone those ninjas who lost their companions and relatives in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. To be honest, it is not surprising if some of these ninjas are a little crazy and directly attack our Uchiha clan.
Things."
The general turned around, met Zhisui's eyes, shook his head slightly, and said in an extremely solemn tone.
"To put it bluntly, if our Uchiha clan were not strong enough, the village would have carried out the most serious liquidation of our clan as early as the second day of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Of course, if our clan was not so strong
, if it is a ninja clan that is in the middle or even weaker in the village, it will not arouse such great suspicion. I can only say that being strong is our clan’s luck and our clan’s misfortune.”
The Nine-Tails Rebellion was just a trigger. The reason why the Uchiha clan was blacklisted by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura and other high-level officials in Konoha was that the Uchiha clan was too strong and difficult to control.
.
In addition, Uchiha Madara rebelled against the village during the first Hokage period, and some tribesmen started a rebellion during the Second Hokage period. There are other criminal records of Akaguoguo. Let alone Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, Shoji would be in that position.
, it’s hard not to doubt the Uchiha clan.
Therefore, in this matter, there is no so-called justice or evil, and there is no real question of right or wrong. There are just different positions and perspectives.
Shoji now belongs to the Uchiha clan and has the closest family.
He naturally chooses to look at these issues from the perspective of his clan.
This is an inevitable choice driven by human nature.
This is true for Shoji, as well as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and the Hyuga, Aburozuka, Nara, Yamazaka, Akimichi, Kurama and other ninja clans.
Right or wrong?
This is a ‘controversial point’ that should not exist in this world.
After hearing Shoji's words, Shisui's expression became very serious.
"You are right, Shoji, our Uchiha clan has indeed become someone that the entire village must be afraid of and be on guard against."
Shisui sighed softly.
"That's why you made such a suggestion at the clan meeting to restore your clan's reputation and wash away those stains, right? General?"
Then his eyebrows were raised again, and Shisui spoke softly in a questioning tone.
"Yes and no. After all, if you want to rely on this to wash away the suspicion and restore the reputation of our clan, you are really looking at the problem too easily and thinking too simply. Actions speak louder than words. This is my opinion.
, in many cases, a hundred words are often no more than one practical and effective action. If our clan wants to get rid of the current predicament, we must do two things. One is to prove that our clan is willing to serve and contribute to the village.
The second is to find the owner of the pair of Sharingan, hundreds of companions died in the battle, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and most importantly, the fourth generation of adults died in the battle, someone needs to be responsible for this!"
"The Uchiha clan is the security force of the village, and it is also the blood successor clan that holds the Sharingan. There are some things that we must bear responsibilities, but it is obviously difficult to achieve the second point, so we
We must start from this point. Individuals, clans, and villages cannot and cannot be treated separately. We must prove that Uchiha is the Uchiha of Konoha before we can regain the respect of our companions.
trust!"
General took a deep breath and spoke in a slightly lower voice.
"Do you think so too? Shoji!"
Shisui seemed a little excited.
"Also? In other words, Shisui, you and I have the same views?"
The general seemed to have a suitably surprised look on his face.
He looked at the young man in front of him and asked softly.
