Chapter 221 Breathtaking Operation
"Isn't this obvious?"
Lu Li saw that Itachi was not stubborn and wanted to fight him to death, so he relaxed and said, "Isn't Konoha always like this for heroes?"
He has never been an excellent lobbyist, nor a very smart person. The reason why he can be worshipped by the Beast Pirates in the One Piece world is that people in the pirate world generally have low IQs.
Itachi is smarter than him, so he can't analyze a bunch of things inside the Uchiha family with Itachi at length, which is too suspicious. After all, he shouldn't have normal channels to obtain intelligence.
Compared to analyzing the Uchiha clan with Itachi right away, it is better to use himself as a starting point to determine the status of their united front from a psychological level, and then it will be easier to talk about it.
"Senior, do you want to say that you are wronged..."
Itachi looked at Lu Li meaningfully. In fact, Lu Li didn't need to explain much, he probably understood what was going on.
After all, he admired Lu Li and Golden Flash when he was a child, so he naturally knew their deeds and character more clearly.
The reason given by Konoha for the defection of Tianzai was that Tianzai slaughtered civilians and secretly conducted human research.
It was difficult for him to judge the slaughter of civilians, but human research... that was something that Tianzai's "cultural level" could do?
Those who were familiar with the growth trajectory of Tianzai knew that his academic performance during the ninja school was very average, and he did not involve any scientific research field. He only began to shine on the battlefield of the Third World War.
So Itachi always knew that the reason for the defection of Tianzai was false, but he did not care before. After all, he believed that Konoha Village was a collective family, and those who were excluded must be harmful rats.
The top leaders must have their reasons for doing this, and everything is for the collective interests of Konoha Village.
But these days, Itachi's inner beliefs have also been shaken.
First of all, there was the death of Shisui. Shisui wanted to coordinate the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan so much. He believed what Danzo said, but his eyes were dug out and he finally committed suicide in despair.
Is Shisui's death also for the benefit of the village?
He was willing to kill all the Uchiha clan for the benefit of the village, as long as his brother could still survive, he was willing to do so.
But did he really think that this was right?
Absolutely not, it was just that he could not think of any better solution.
At this time, Itachi looked at Lu Li in front of him, knowing that the other party might have been in a dilemma, or it might be similar to Brother Shisui's situation, but he became a plaything in the hands of the people in power.
"Unjust? If I really defected from Konoha from the bottom of my heart, Konoha would have been destroyed by Kumogakure in these years. I was imprisoned in the dungeon and tortured, but I have not leaked any confidential information of Konoha Village in eight years."
Lu Li said seriously, anyway, what he said was true, but it was just part of his personality, "I just saw a bunch of dirty things that Danzo did underground, and he framed me as a traitor."
Itachi was shocked by the content of Lu Li's words, but he was not so surprised, because from the incident of Shisui, he found that Danzo was indeed not a good thing.
Lu Li's words were quite credible, and the other party was in an advantageous position at the moment, so there was no need to lie to him.
"Senior, you...are a war hero, and you were just driven away like that? How could the Third Hokage allow such an unfair thing to happen?"
Itachi expressed his slight doubts, and because he was afraid that Lu Li didn't know who the current Hokage was, he specifically stated the generation.
"Third generation?"
Lu Li sneered and looked into Itachi's eyes, "Do you think it's a good thing to have a high reputation for military exploits? I'm not the Third Hokage's disciple, let alone his grandson. After the war, he will retire. Who will be the Fourth Hokage?"
Itachi understood instantly, and at the same time felt desperate for the darkness of the village.
Just this incident with Lu Li made it difficult for him to believe the Third Hokage's promise to him. He even felt that his decision to take the blame and massacre his people was too stupid.
The Third Hokage may not care about the Uchiha rebellion at all. He just doesn't want to dirty his hands. He uses Uchiha Itachi to deal with the Uchiha clan. At that time, Konoha Village will still be harmonious on the surface, and the Hokage lineage has not done anything to let down the "Konoha Co-founder Family".
Afterwards, he may still be able to give a sad speech in front of the villagers, saying that the civil strife of the Uchiha clan is really unexpected, and he deeply sympathizes.
Yes, isn't that the case with Senior Tianzai? Just because he is not from the Hokage lineage.
Even if his strength is comparable to the Five Kages, even if he has made great achievements in the war, he is not as famous as Golden Flash, just because no one builds momentum for him. He is not from the Hokage lineage, so he is destined not to become Hokage.
And a person who should not be Hokage, with such great achievements, such strong strength and reputation, is not a good thing.
If Lu Li traveled like Jiraiya, there might not be all the troubles that followed, but he accidentally discovered the dark side of Danzo.
So Danzo wanted to get rid of Lu Li and put a lot of blame on him. The third generation knew it was not true, but would he overturn the case for Lu Li?
The facts have already explained everything. The natural disaster senior in front of him defected, and even if he defected, he did not betray Konoha.
"Senior... do you want to return to Konoha this time?"
Itachi's voice was low and filled with inexplicable sadness. He had completely given up on fighting Lu Li at this time.
Because suddenly, he felt very tired. Brother Zhisui must have been like this at that time, so he chose to end his life.
He no longer wanted to do the task of chasing down the natural disaster, and if the natural disaster wanted to kill him, he didn't want to fight back.
"In the past eight years, I have been tortured day and night in Kumogakure, but I still have not revealed the secrets of Konoha. It is not because of how loyal I am to Konoha, but because I miss the beauty of my childhood experience. In fact, I am now I hate the higher-ups of Konoha and have no intention of going back.”
Lu Li said, "If Danzo and the others appear in front of me again and become my enemies, I will not hold back and kill them all."
Hearing Lu Li's words, Itachi had a wry smile on his face, "Senior, you are really strong. It seems that you have found your own way."
Yes, after eight years of imprisonment, Natural Disaster has seen through the world, but he still can't see through it.
Even though he understood Danzo's filthiness and the third generation's ruthlessness, he still loved the village and did not want a war between his family and the village.
He was caught in the middle, not human inside or out. If he really wanted to take that path, he would be hated by his favorite brother for the rest of his life.
"You used a pupil technique that I have never seen before. You must be among the top experts in the Uchiha clan. With such excellent eyes, you can't even see your own path clearly?"
Lu Li's words rang like bells in Uchiha Itachi's ears, causing him to look at Lu Li, wanting to know what Lu Li was thinking.
"Senior... I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Itachi Uchiha."
Itachi said solemnly, "Although it's strange for me to be an ANBU who is chasing you, I still want to ask, as someone who has experienced this, since seniors have long expected that the Uchiha clan will reach this point, do you know what I should do?" Will the road ahead be opened up by making a choice?”
After saying this, Itachi felt very ridiculous in his heart. As an ANBU on a mission, he was actually seriously asking for advice on his target.
But he was really desperate and wanted to consult the advice of Senior Natural Disaster. After all, the other person was someone who was as familiar with the darkness of the village as he was.
And he is a genius who has reached the film level at the age of 13, and he has an inexplicable common language with him.
"Itachi, if I guess correctly, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village has intensified again. Are you ready to rebel now?"
Lu Li thought about it and spoke in words appropriate to his status.
Itachi nodded helplessly, "That's right. My father is the clan leader. He meets with a group of people every day to discuss whether to rebel."
Hearing Itachi talk about the current situation and after confirming it, Lu Li had a somewhat strange expression.
Regarding the genocide of the Uchiha clan, he had a lot to complain about when he read the original work.
It can only be said that this family is full of lunatics, and their IQ is a bit worrying.
The only sane and intelligent Uchiha Itachi was limited by his age and vision, and was brainwashed by the Will of Fire. He also used the worst strategy in this situation, which directly led to the worst ending.
It can only be said that this matter is a matter of confusion among the authorities. It is clear to onlookers that Uchiha Itachi himself was in the bureau and was caught in the middle by his tribe and the village. It is not incomprehensible that Uchiha Itachi would make such a decision in the end.
But in fact, not to mention the smart guys in the space who watch anime and leave barrage comments, even Lu Li thinks there are many solutions to this kind of thing.
In other words, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan is not even a game at all, let alone a dead end.
Lu Li looked at Uchiha Itachi and asked from his soul, "Itachi, I have always been curious, what do you Uchiha clan want?"
Itachi was stunned for a moment, "What do you want?"
He pondered for a moment, "It should be a higher power. I think father and the others feel that the Uchiha clan has never had anyone become Hokage. This is wrong. Father... he probably wants to be Hokage?"
Lu Li looked at Itachi speechlessly, thinking to himself, why don't you guys communicate?
"Do you really think this is the core issue? Is your father trying to be Hokage?"
Lu Li asked.
"Isn't it? Or maybe it's not my father. It's not bad for anyone else to want to be Hokage. The Uchiha clan founded the Leaf Village with the Senju clan, but now it's been four generations and we don't have a Hokage."
Itachi said analytically, but he himself also felt something was wrong because of Lu Li's continuous questions.
"Wanting to be Hokage is nothing, every ninja in Konoha Village has had this dream."
Lu Li shook his head and said, "Your father and the others probably just think it's unfair. It's not just unfair that none of you can choose to be Hokage, it's unfair that you, the Uchiha clan, don't have the right to vote at all."
Itachi was stunned after hearing this. Indeed, he ignored the most fundamental problem.
Back then, the Second Hokage gave the Uchiha family the identity of the Konoha Guard Corps and asked them to be responsible for public security. It seemed like a very powerful position, but in fact, in Konoha where family power was deeply entangled, the guard regiment had no power at all.
Moreover, this is a position that is easy to offend, and coupled with the difficulties faced by the Hokage lineage and the advisory board of elders, they have never had a fair and just election opportunity in these years. This is the reason why Father and the others are angry.
And over the years, the top management of Konoha has been squeezing out the Uchiha family and has been directly marginalized by power. Of course, the Uchiha family can't stand it because they are so arrogant.
"We...actually have the right to vote."
Itachi Uchiha weakly retorted, and he himself felt that it was not convincing.
"Oh, it is true, but is it fair? You can't even pass the preliminary stage, after all, the first round of voting is almost controlled by the third generation and the advisory elders."
Lu Li said, "And you don't even have a seat for the advisory elders."
To be honest, Lu Li thinks that the mess between Konoha and Uchiha is also nonsense. If it is placed in the normal world, it is impossible to happen.
I can only say that even as politicians, the third generation and Danzo are too rubbish.
What is the fundamental demand of Uchiha now?
That is to be free from discrimination and have a fair and just election opportunity.
In the reality of Japan, this is the question of whether the opposition party led by Mayor XX is qualified to run for prime minister.
This is not a problem. Just let him vote openly. Let's not talk about whether the low EQ people of the Uchiha family can get votes and be elected. Even if they are elected, are your F4 advisory elders just eating dry rice? Who said that you can do whatever you want after becoming a Hokage?
As a result, the Third Generation and the F4 advisory group directly made a suffocating move. In order to prevent people from having a fair election, they directly killed the whole family.
From a political point of view, this was also an extremely failed move for Konoha, not to mention that it also caused a great loss of Konoha's strength.
