Konoha: The King of Souls from Uchiha

After returning home, Gen Uchiha changed out of his armor and tight-fitting combat uniform, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and put on a loose black-bottomed moiré robe.

Then he went to the refrigerator and took out a can of juice, sat on the sofa and drank it. Then he lay down for a while before putting on his Kusanagi sword and going out.

"Xuan is back. He looks so handsome today."

"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."

"Xuan, where are you going?"

"Go to the training ground."

"You work so hard. No wonder you are one of our Uchiha twins."

"Uncle, you have given me a reward."

"Xuan, I heard that you performed well on the battlefield. It was really good!"

"I'm satisfied that I didn't disgrace our Uchiha."

"Anyway, you are one of the prides of our Uchiha."

"..."

Nowadays, Gen Uchiha is well-known among the Uchiha clan. The four of them were together when they entered the clan before, and it was not easy for ordinary clan members to come and say hello.

Now seeing Uchiha Gen walking alone, they greeted each other warmly. Uchiha Gen didn't show off, and responded one after another with a humble and respectful attitude.

This attitude makes ordinary people have a good impression of Uchiha Gen.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan generally have a good attitude towards ordinary people, but there are always some ninjas who are open-eyed and are arrogant and cold, and are not easy to get close to.

Chatting all the way to the third training ground in the Uchiha clan, we soon found Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi who were training kunai and shuriken throwing in the forest of the training ground.

"Xuanzu is finally here. We will finish training in a while."

Uchiha Shisui looked at the figure lazily walking over and said a little speechlessly.

"I went home and took a shower and rested for a while. When I came out, I met other tribesmen who kept talking to me. There was nothing I could do."

After saying that, Gen Uchiha moved, jumped onto a tree, and sat down against the trunk.

"Don't you practice?" Zhishui asked with some doubts.

"Do you think I'm dressed like this to practice?"

"I'll come over and have a chat with you."

"Chat?" Zhisui's eyes lit up, "Okay, what are you talking about?"

He gained something every time he chatted with Xuan. He liked chatting with Xuan very much.

After saying that, Shisui also stopped practicing, jumped onto the treetops with a movement, and sat down next to Uchiha Gen.

"I can't think of a topic right now, what do you want to talk about?" Uchiha Gen said lazily.

Hearing this, Zhisui pondered, and suddenly remembered that when he was training with Itachi a few days ago, Itachi asked him why there was a war, and he replied that it was because of hatred.

He wanted to hear what his peers, who were far more profound and mature than him, would think about this issue.

"Let's talk about war. Why is there war?"

Uchiha Gen smiled when he heard this. He knew that Shisui would definitely bring up a more in-depth topic and would never just pick a topic to talk about.

Uchiha Itachi, who was practicing seriously, pricked up his ears when he heard this. He also wanted to hear what the people whom Brother Shisui admired would think...

"Shisui, what do you think?"

"I think it's because of hatred, but I always feel it's not that simple, but I can't think of other reasons." Shisui scratched his head in embarrassment.

"In my opinion, hatred is indeed one of the reasons, but it is just a symptom, not the essence."

"Then what's the essence?"

"I think the essence is a competition for resources."

"Competition for resources?" Zhisui muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Yes, the richest in the entire ninja world is the Fire Nation."

"The Country of Fire is rich in forests, water, soil, minerals, climate and other resources."

“Is climate also a resource?”

"Of course, who doesn't like to live in a place with fresh air, stable, mild and orderly climate?"

"Too."

"The unique geographical environment blessed by fire has made the Fire Country have a large population, developed agriculture, popular commerce, and a developed economy."

"Even if other big countries and small countries have some advantages in certain aspects, they are still far behind the Fire Country in terms of comprehensiveness."

"For survival, development, and glory, can other countries not covet the Fire Nation?"

"Looking at the first, second, and three ninja wars, were any of the ninja wars initiated by Konoha and the Fire Nation?"

Since the first conversation, Shisui also began to read family documents and study history. Although he only read part of it, he still understood some major events.

Thinking back on the history he had learned, Shisui suddenly realized that it was true that every time the ninja world was not instigated by Konoha, and Konoha was the party that was besieged every time, but the number of villages under siege was different each time. .

The just-concluded Third Ninja World War had the most number of villages besieged, and there were already more than four small ninja villages.

In this great ninja war, Konoha also suffered the heaviest losses.

"There is indeed no war initiated by Konoha."

"you are right."

Zhisui's eyes were very bright, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi had stopped practicing and stood quietly with his ears pricked up.

"Hate is just an excuse for politicians to provoke confrontation, boost morale, and maintain morale so that they can openly and honestly launch wars to gain benefits."

"This interest includes the interests of politicians, the interests of the village, and the interests of the country."

"In addition to the essential reason of resources, I think the causes of wars are also ideological conflicts, territorial disputes, political purposes, and historical issues."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Shisui asked expectantly.

Uchiha Itachi cautiously walked to the foot of the tree.

Uchiha Xuanzhuo glanced at Uchiha Itachi unintentionally, and then said: "Actually, I don't fully understand it. It's a family story, so just listen to it."

"Ideological conflict refers to differences in culture, beliefs, and values."

"Just like those strange sects in the ninja world, the teachings are different or even completely opposite. No one can convince anyone with words."

"For the sake of faith, the expansion of the sect, and the interests of the sect's expansion, we had to take the path of physical destruction, and the war broke out."

"Territorial disputes are easy to understand. There are no territorial disputes among the five major countries in this regard, but there are not many wars that have broken out between small countries."

"Territorial disputes are essentially resource disputes."

"As for political purposes, it's more complicated."

"Because there are many political purposes, such as high-level wars launched to divert internal conflicts, or wars launched to obtain certain benefits."

"Historical issues refer to some historical events and conflicts that still affect families, villages, and countries, leading to mutual hostility."

"This tense situation only needs a spark to break out into a war, such as frame-up."

"The reasons for the outbreak of war are diverse and very complicated, but in the final analysis I think it is a conflict of resources and interests!"

"Whether my point of view is correct or not, you can verify it in the future. I am also verifying it..."

After hearing this, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi each fell into deep thought, digesting Uchiha Gen's words.

Shisui recalled all his experiences since he could remember, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right...

As for Uchiha Itachi, he has too little experience to actually judge whether it is right or wrong, but the seeds have been planted in his heart.

The so-called preconception, and later judgment through experience will definitely have an impact. If the point of view is correct, the impact will undoubtedly be magnified many times.

"Then is there any way for Brother Xuan to avoid the war?"

Thinking of the madness and tragedy he saw on the battlefield, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but ask.
