Konoha: Start by unraveling the caged bird!

Chapter 56 Itachi's Awareness
"Please remember what you said today." Yuzuru Hyuga said earnestly, and the gentle emotions in his eyes did not make Uchiha Itachi feel strange, with a force that made him warm.

Yuzuru Hyuga stared at Itachi Uchiha, and said carefully: "If brother Shisui wants to prevent you from becoming a ninja and thinks that is your protection, I don't think so. In this matter, I support your decision."

Uchiha Shisui sighed and put his hand on his forehead, but he stopped persuading, just quietly listening to Yuzuru Hinata's reasons.

"Just, please remember. Your eyes may deceive you. The truth you know may be just a lie carefully crafted by others."

"Don't trust anyone, including me, use all your feelings to find your own answer."

Uchiha Shisui frowned, and reminded in a low voice that the answer might not be reliable: "Then how can you guarantee that the answer you got is the correct answer?"

"Then you have to ask your true inner thoughts, ask yourself, what do you really want."

Yuzuru Hyuga looked at Itachi Uchiha, and asked softly: "Maybe we can put some restrictions on this answer, so that once there are multiple answers in mind, we can use them to distinguish what is what I want in the end. need."

"for example."

He smiled, and in the barbecue shop, his voice was gentle and soft, amidst the crackling sound caused by the dripping of barbecue grease on the charcoal fire, it was as clear as thunder in the rain, reaching the ears of the two of them.

"I hope that in the future, every child of Konoha will not have to think about the so-called family and village issues like us, and don't have to think about life and death on the battlefield like us."

"I hope that war can disappear, oppression can be resisted, and justice can destroy evil."

"I hope that one day, even people other than Konoha can reap peace and happiness."

"Everyone has food to eat and everyone has clothes to wear. Ninjutsu is no longer used to kill, but to improve life and make everyone's life better."

"I hope, someday in the future."

Even Shisui Uchiha never imagined that the boy in front of him would have such great ambitions, transcending the limitations of his family, not even limited to Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi was in a trance for a while, at most he was thinking about why the clansman and the village were arguing endlessly, and why he had to sacrifice his life for meaningless things. Yuzuru Hyuga's words were like throwing a bigger mystery to over him.

The so-called ideas of peace, freedom, and equality are quite different from the "will of fire" that the village preaches and emphasizes, and the "will of the family" that the adults in the family talk about.

That is a wider world.

"Of course, it's hard, and I don't think I can do these things myself."

Yuzuru Hyuga frankly talked about his shortcomings, smiled, but his tone gradually became sharp: "But, only with such a bright future, is it necessary to work hard, isn't it?"

For a while, there was only the sizzling sound of the charcoal under the barbecue being stained with grease. Yuzuru Hinata picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece. The rescue was timely, and the taste was not bad.

He ate the meat nonchalantly, while laughing softly, as if what he said just now was just casual talk.

"What I just said is nothing more than a beautiful fantasy like a fairy tale at the moment. However, if you use this as a reference, it shouldn't be difficult to make the right choice, right?"

"And, like I said, absolutely don't trust me, including what I say, let yourself think for yourself, and go to the answer."

"Perhaps, everything I say now is a lie, just to win your trust Itachi, with such doubts and determination that no one will trust, let's embark on the road of ninja."

Yuzuru Hinata's eyes under the mirror frame can't see any emotions, even Shisui can't tell at this moment whether what he said just now is a bold statement from the heart and a beautiful expectation for the future, or just a casual high-spirited talk up.

But no matter what, Itachi and Shisui were greatly shocked by this and fell into deep thought.

Especially Shisui, what touched him the most was in fact far from the ideals Yuzuru Hyuga threw out, but a warning sentence at the end.

'Do not trust anyone'.

Is the will of fire taught by the second generation the truth in the world?

Is Konoha Village, or himself, really on the right path?

For the first time, Uchiha Shisui had some doubts and reflections on his belief and persistence, but he quickly suppressed it temporarily. It is impossible for him to question his belief and tolerance just because of someone else's words, even if Reality reminded him over and over again that something went wrong, but he still believed that as long as he followed the path of the will of fire, everything would be back on track.

As long as you follow the will of fire, the bright future that Yuzuru said will surely come to Konoha!

The three fell into silence, only Yuzuru Hyuga ate diligently, since neither of them had any appetite, he would not waste the rare barbecue.

The ghost knows how long he will have to eat dry food when he goes out to perform the mission this time.

After Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were silent for a while, they began to chat with him about the so-called 'ideal', trying to understand the future he described in more detail.

Yuzuru Hinata is not stage-frightened either. Combining the history and ideology and morals he learned before traveling, he gave them a simple explanation, and combined with Konoha's current situation, he talked about his ideal Konoha. Of course, he has some reservations, just talking about it. But even so, whether it is education or medical care, values ​​or outlook on life, they are deeply shocked and cannot be calm for a long time.

Of course, while talking, Hinata Yuzuru worked hard to cook, and was determined to stuff all the meat that he would not be able to eat for a while into his stomach and digest it slowly.

After eating with a round belly and giving full play to the eating capacity of the Taijutsu ninja, Yuzuru Hyuga slumped on the chair, looked at Shisui Uchiha, and smiled slightly: "Brother Shisui, pay the bill."

Uchiha Shisui came back to his senses, and subconsciously reached out to pay the bill.

The boss who had been waiting for a long time took out the bill with a smile on his face.

"Thanks for your patronage, 1 taels is already a small discount for you."

When did we order so many roasts?

Isn't this shop only a few hundred taels for a piece of meat! ?
Zhishui rubbed his belly, feeling like he was not full yet.

Hyuga Yuzuru just smiled faintly: "It's time to go and do the mission, Shisui-senpai."

Shisui Uchiha stared blankly at the outside of the house. From the angle of the sun, he could judge the current time. It had been three or four hours since noon. As Yuzuru Hyuga said, it was time to set off for the border. up.

This guy.
Shisui Uchiha looked at Yuzuru Hyuga, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What an amazing senior.

Whether it is from the perspective of thinking or appetite.

And Uchiha Itachi didn't move a single chopstick.

He sat there blankly, and in his mind, a blueprint of a beautiful world was slowly unfolding in his mind, like a mirage, which made him feel unreachable, illusory and extremely unreal.

But
Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips tightly, looking at his friend, on Yuzuru Hinata's quiet and gentle face, there was a satisfied smile after eating and drinking at the moment.

Such a world, for me, is out of reach and illusory.

But he must have had an idea, or in other words, he had an idea early on, and he was forging ahead on the right path.

Don't believe you.?
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head.

Then use my eyes to see it!
If the end of the road you are walking is also the future I hope for, then, let's go forward together, Yuzuru!
