Chapter 166 Everything in the Past
"Sasuke! Are you okay?"
Seeing Uchiha Sasuke in a miserable state, Karin hurried over, began to check Uchiha Sasuke's injuries, and then began to treat him.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything the whole time, his mind was very confused at this time.
Uchiha Xing quickly noticed that something was wrong with Uchiha Sasuke's mood.
"What's wrong, Sasuke?"
Uchiha Xing asked Uchiha Sasuke.
"teacher."
Uchiha Sasuke called Uchiha Xing, opened his mouth, and said after a long time: "Can I trust you?"
"Of course, what happened? Or if you want to know something, I can tell you."
Uchiha Xing looked at Uchiha Sasuke with the tenderness of an elder in his eyes.
Wait, wait, isn't that Sasako? Why did Yuorihoshi call her, Sa-Sasuke!
Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Sasuke who was kneeling on the ground in shock, and then his eyes fell on the suggestive cleavage revealed by Uchiha Sasuke's loose collar.
So, Sasuke is actually a girl? No wonder Naruto likes her so much, she is really beautiful.
Wait, what about Sakura? Tsk, tsk, what a sinful man.
At this moment, a cup blocked Jiraiya's way.
"Mr. Jiraiya, this is not right."
Shiro smiled at Jiraiya.
"Haha, I didn't do anything."
Jiraiya said this with a laugh.
"Teacher, can you tell me about Itachi? Why did he kill the entire clan? He also said that you were involved in what happened back then. I asked you before, but you always told me that the time has not come yet. Now, is the time coming?"
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists, his eyes filled with nervousness.
"Well, that's enough. I once promised Itachi that I would not tell you what happened before your final battle."
"Hmm, let me think about where to start."
Uchiha Xing thought for a long time, then said: "This story is a bit long, I need your patience to listen to it."
"Thank you, teacher. I will listen carefully."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded, indicating that he would listen patiently.
"Speaking of why Itachi chose to kill his clan members, we must first start with the story of the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan during the Warring States period."
"Hmm? Are we going to start from something so far away?"
Jiraiya, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but ask.
"Eavesdrop on that kid, just listen quietly to the story."
Uchiha Star warned Jiraiya about his life and began to tell the story of their time.
"You know, a thousand years ago, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have always been at odds with each other. The two clans have been fighting for a long time, and their relatives and friends have all been killed by the other side. Therefore, they hate each other and wish to destroy each other."
"This battle lasted until seventy years ago..."
Speaking of this, Uchiha Xing couldn't help but chuckle, and felt a pain in his heart.
"Seventy years ago, something happened that caused the Uchiha clan to no longer want to continue the endless battle."
"So, for the sake of peace, let's just say this for now."
"The then-chief of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara, challenged the chief of the Senju clan, Senju Hashirama. The winner would be the dominant force in the union of the two clans."
"The war between the two leaders is so terrifying even now that I think about it."
"The battle lasted for a long time, and ended only when both of them ran out of chakra. The winner in the end was the current First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."
"Although the two tribes united and established a ninja village together, the thousand-year-old hatred and prejudice between the two tribes could not disappear with the union."
"In order to make the Uchiha clan integrate into Konoha more quickly and reduce the hatred between the two clans, Brother Madara and I have made a lot of efforts to make the people in the village closer to us."
"But as I said before, hatred and prejudice are not so easy to eliminate. It's just that both families have people who suppress them, so the united relationship has not been broken."
"However, with the death of Madara-nii and Senju Hashirama, the suppressed thoughts in the family gradually began to become active."
"Plus, due to Madara-nii's defection and his return with the Nine-Tails, which destroyed most of Konoha, the Uchiha clan is in a very awkward position in Konoha."
"It caused most of the Uchiha clan to feel dissatisfied. After all, they are one of the two founding clans of Konoha. The status of their mortal enemy, the Senju clan, is getting higher and higher in the village, while their own clan is inferior to the clan with lower strength than their own."
"Ever since then, the Uchiha clan has been trying to gain control of Konoha."
"If I hadn't suppressed them and asked my people not to do anything that would harm Konoha, I'm afraid there would only be four people left in the Uchiha clan now."
Uchiha Xing said and shook his head.
Wait, she said Uchiha? She is from the Uchiha? Hanedahoshi, Hanedahoshi... Wait! Could she be... Uchihahoshi!
Jiraiya looked at the twenty-something girl in front of him in shock.
"how come...."
The long-forgotten face in Jiraiya's memory gradually emerged in his mind, and then overlapped with the girl in front of him.
No wonder, no wonder she would help Konoha so much. So that's how it is, so that's how it is!
Uchiha Itachi, who was in "coma", moved his fingers slightly.
"and then."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Xing and asked.
"Then, in order to prevent my own clan members from suddenly getting crazy and cutting off Konoha's support, I volunteered to be the assistant of the Second Hokage. While expressing my loyalty to the Uchiha clan, I also kept an eye on the situation of the Uchiha clan."
"Once there is any bad sign, it should be nipped in the bud."
"In this way, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha has always been harmonious. But I know that this is only on the surface. The Uchiha clan has unyielding and proud nature. They will never allow themselves to be inferior to others."
"In order to prevent them from doing something irreversible after my death, I decided to take a gamble."
"I'm begging you to use my life to bet on this. If the Uchiha clan does something irreparable in the future, please let them go for all the things I've done for Konoha."
"In fact, I guessed right. As the Senju clan disappeared into the crowd, the Hyuga clan, Sarutobi clan and other later clans gradually took the dominant position."
"Plus the Nine-Tails Rebellion sixteen years ago. The Nine-Tails' eyes that looked like the Sharingan were visible to everyone, making the Uchiha clan's presence in Konoha even more awkward."
"So, the Uchiha clan began to panic and became dissatisfied with the status quo. They wanted more power and wanted to become the leader of Konoha."
"So, they decided to start a civil war in Konoha."
"However, they did not expect that there would be a traitor among them who would betray the family."
Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a long time. Uchiha Sasuke said: "It's Itachi, right? He betrayed the family."
"Yes."
Uchiha Xing nodded, and then said: "Itachi chose the village over the family. Because of the agreement I made with Senju Tobirama, and the fact that the mirror lineage was indeed concerned about Konoha, that lineage was able to stay."
"It's just that there are always people who don't want all the Uchiha clan to survive... One is the person who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion sixteen years ago, and the other is Danzo."
"But fortunately, at that time, Mirror killed the roots that wanted to get closer, and I stopped the masked man. The other tribesmen were killed by Itachi."
"But if that's the case, why, why kill all of them! Obviously, Grandma Gu Zhi and the others are so innocent!"
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but think of those people who were kind to him.
"Because of hatred. If we only kill those who want to cause trouble, then their relatives and friends will hate those who killed them, and even more so the decision makers."
"In order to prevent the riots that might happen later, Itachi chose to bear all the sins alone. And he chose this person who committed this sin."
Uchiha Xing looked up at Uchiha Sasuke who seemed to be somewhat collapsed.
"In Itachi's vision, you should become a hero of Konoha, a hero who kills Konoha's most heinous murderer. You will be loved by the people and become the best person."
"But I don't want to be like this! Why should he decide my life?"
Uchiha Sasuke clutched his clothes tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I would rather die on that day than live in such pain!"
Uchiha Sasuke shouted loudly.
"Sasuke!"
Karin raised her hands and hugged Uchiha Sasuke tightly, hoping that this would alleviate his pain.
Jiraiya remained silent. As a son, brother, and clan member, Uchiha Itachi was obviously not very qualified.
But as a ninja of Konoha, he loves Konoha so passionately.
Jiraiya didn't know how to evaluate Uchiha Itachi.
"Village, village. Village! Is the village so important to him?!"
Uchiha Sasuke questioned Uchiha Itachi, and also questioned Uchiha Xing.
"You have not experienced the Warring States Period, nor have you experienced war, so there are some things you don't understand yet."
"During the Warring States period, families were considered as a unit. Apart from their own clan members, almost everyone else was an enemy. At that time, no one would reveal their surnames."
"There were many children who died on the battlefield at the age of six or seven. During the Warring States period, the average life expectancy was 35 years old."
"The village has gone to great lengths to ensure that young children do not enter the battlefield. Unless there are special circumstances, most newly graduated Genin will not die in missions, which greatly increases the survival rate."
"Just like when you just graduated, there were experienced jonin who took on missions based on your abilities and taught you what it meant to be a ninja."
"But at that time, no one, no one, protected you like now."
Uchiha Xing said softly.
"Moreover, even if Itachi had not chosen to betray the clan at that time, and the Uchiha clan carried out their plan, the Uchiha clan would not only have been nearly exterminated, but would also have been charged with the crime of treason that could never be cleared. The clan members who survived would have to live with this infamy."
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent, not knowing what to do.
"Are you tired? If so, take a good rest. If you want to ask anything else, you can wait until Itachi wakes up and continue asking him."
Uchiha Xing finished the treatment and raised his hand to rub Uchiha Sasuke's head.
"Oh, by the way! Let me tell you a little secret~ Do you remember that number one fan who came to every one of your performances? It's Itachi~"
Um!!!!!
The confused look in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by shock.
No wonder he wasn’t shocked when he saw me like this!!!
"Okay, have a good rest."
Uchiha Xing asked Karin to take Uchiha Sasuke back to the room to rest.
Uchiha Xing watched Uchiha Sasuke leave with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I always feel like I've forgotten something."
Uchiha Xing said while stroking his chin.
On the other side, looking at the place surrounded by countless black flames, Andili fell into silence.
Lord Sasuke is missing. He must have been summoned back by Lord Xing, but...
Mr. Xing! Have you forgotten me?
Andili spread his wings and began to fly back in great grief and anger.
On the other side, after Uchiha Sasuke left, Uchiha Xing withdrew his gaze.
"Okay, if you two have any questions, ask them now, or you won't be able to find me soon."
Uchiha Xing took out a stool and sat down.
"Two people?"
Jiraiya frowned slightly, then his eyes fell on Uchiha Itachi lying on the ground.
"Okay, stop pretending to be unconscious. I'm a medical ninja, and I don't know if you're really unconscious or not."
Uchiha Xing said this, nudging Uchiha Itachi who was lying on the ground with his toes.
Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and his eyes fell on Uchiha Xing.
"You really are Uchiha Star."
Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Xing with some complexity.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Uchiha Star chuckled.
"That person is Madara, right?"
Uchiha Itachi thought about the masked man.
"Him? He is not Brother Ban. Brother Ban is so gentle and kind, how could he be that idiot?"
Uchiha Xing curled his lips.
Gentle? Kind? Who? Uchiha Madara?
Jiraiya and Uchiha Itachi were both silent.
"If he is not, then who is he?"
Uchiha Itachi asked the next question with selective deafness.
"Who knows? Maybe it was the Uchiha clan member who should have died who came back to life by accident. And because of some things, he had misunderstandings and hatred with Konoha."
"Of course, the above are just my personal thoughts. As for the truth, we can only know it when we catch him."
Uchiha Xing supported his chin and looked at Uchiha Itachi.
"Senior Xing, is the plan you just mentioned true or a joke?"
Jiraiya spoke at this time.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you about this?"
Uchiha Xing said very seriously.
"Well, you were the one who saved Kushina, right? And how did you survive, Senior Hoshi? Your death was witnessed by many people at that time."
"Kushina was saved by me, so why am I still alive?"
Uchiha Xing tilted his head and thought.
"I don't know either. When I woke up, I found myself turned into a child. As for who saved me, I don't know either."
Uchiha Xing shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no idea why he survived.
