Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

The flames clinging to his body and clothing did not kill him instantly, but continued to burn his body.

Even the fat was ignited, burning itself up.

The intense pain caused him to scream in agony, and he ran around the battlefield like a man on fire.

To end his suffering, his companion, with tears streaming down his face and trembling, pierced his heart with his arm.

Itachi Uchiha witnessed countless terrifying scenes that would take even adult ninjas a long time to gradually adapt to.

What is hell on earth?

It mostly refers to war and battlefields.

Chapter 183 Uchiha Itachi's War Trauma Stress Syndrome

I do not know how long it has been,

Itachi Uchiha's mind finally began to adjust.

Having regained his ability to think, he saw a severely wounded but not yet completely dead ninja ahead of him.

Helplessly stretching out its arms on the ground,

His eyes held endless longing.

His entire face was etched with fear of death and a yearning for life.

Without the slightest hesitation, Itachi immediately ran over and helped him up, trying to save him.

However, the ninja's first reaction upon waving his weapon was to brandish it.

He attempted to kill Itachi, who came to his rescue, even though Itachi was just a four-year-old child.

As a young prodigy who showed remarkable talent at a very early age,

Four-year-old Itachi had already begun training in ninja-related skills.

Driven by instinct, and the natural alertness brought about by the dangers of the battlefield,

He subconsciously finished off his opponent with a kunai before the danger arrived.

At this very moment,

The camera suddenly zoomed out, revealing Uchiha Fugaku not far behind.

Our great patriarch finds absolutely no fault in these horrific things happening to a four-year-old child.

A slight upturn of his lips and a smug look in his eyes, which he was trying to maintain.

They were amazed that their son, at such a young age, could adapt to the battlefield, recognize danger, and even decisively kill the enemy.

He is indeed a remarkable genius.

He even started to fantasize.

Will the Uchiha clan flourish because of their ability to fight seven opponents at once, or even because of their ability to fight seven opponents at once?

Killing an enemy at the age of four would be considered a prodigy even in the Warring States period, right?

Itachi Uchiha didn't notice his father's expression.

At this moment, his face was full of doubt and confusion.

What's disheartening is that a fellow human being's life ended in my hands, without even feeling like I exerted much effort.

What's perplexing is:

"Father, why did he want to kill me?"

Fugaku Uchiha raised his head slightly, his gaze tilted upwards at a forty-five-degree angle towards the sky.

With the air of someone who's been there all along and has seen it all, he coolly said:

"Because this is war."

"Because this is the world of ninjas."

……

Fugaku Uchiha's actions appeared in the video.

The audience from both ninja worlds was immediately stunned.

"Holy crap, what a talent!"

"Um... if I may ask, is Ichido-Shichi Fugaku's biological son?"

"What's going on in this person's head? Making a four-year-old child experience the battlefield, and then thinking his child is exceptionally talented and being very proud of it?"

"I am subservient to foreign powers, but I strike hard against domestic ones."

What kind of F4 is this?

"I must say, this painting is quite thoughtful."

The battlefield as seen by children under twelve was blurred out, and some scenes for those under eighteen were also blurred out.

"Am I a disgrace to ninjas? I'm supposed to be a Jonin, and I haven't even killed a single person, yet I've been dragged to watch two executions."

"Same as above. I don't know why, but when those enemies saw Konoha's headbands, they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground."

No matter how much we persuaded or provoked them, they wouldn't stand up and resist.

"Seriously, is Konoha really that scary? What if they succeed in their rebellion?"

"Hey upstairs, don't you want to listen to what you're saying first?"

……

After a brief battlefield experience,

As the war situation became increasingly tense,

Itachi Uchiha was quickly sent back to Konoha.

Back in the village, Yi Daqi was completely dumbfounded.

Often sit in one place,

His eyes were glazed over, and he sat motionless for hours.

He was pondering: What is humanity? What is life? And what is war?

Furthermore, for a considerable period of time, I couldn't sleep at all, night after night.

I often wake up suddenly from sleep by some terrifying images.

Itachi Uchiha suffered from stress response syndrome.

The so-called stress response refers to a series of unusual and special reactions triggered when encountering certain specific external stimuli.

Physical manifestations include:

Insomnia, fear, tension, excessive central nervous system excitation, as well as impaired consciousness and cognitive impairment.

Some patients may also experience dilated pupils, elevated blood pressure, and severe tremors.

Even severe reactions such as complete loss of behavioral capacity for a short period of time.

Psychologically, this manifests as: excessive vigilance, excessive fantasy, and significantly increased emotional sensitivity, leading to varying degrees of depression.

If it cannot be cured for a long time, it will lead to obvious habitual dependence of thought and cognitive impairment.

Cognitive dependence refers to the habitual use of a particular way of thinking to think about and understand all problems.

Cognitive impairment refers to a cognitive barrier similar to an information cocoon.

Patients with this condition believe that they possess the most fundamental truths, and they try to explain everything they see and hear with a simple theory, unable to break free from this habitual way of thinking.

Simply put, it means rigid thinking, an inability to understand and accept information that differs from one's own understanding, and a rejection of it as heresy and fallacy.

Like a gambling dog,

No matter how many times she loses, no matter how many people tell her how absurd and fanciful her behavior is,

It will still believe that losing is just a matter of luck.

Even if, based on probability, I've already lost so many times, shouldn't I be able to turn things around next time?

As for those who advise themselves...

Jealousy, self-deprecation, fear of becoming rich, excessive cowardice, and a fundamental misunderstanding of the world—these are all contributing factors.

No matter what the other party says, a gambler can always come up with a series of reasons that he thinks are reasonable to refute it.

Different stimuli will trigger different stress responses and corresponding symptoms.

Itachi Uchiha's condition can also be called war trauma stress reaction syndrome.

One against seven was deep in thought,

And almost everyone I met,

He would always ask the other person, "What is the meaning of life?"

Once, after encountering Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, who was famous throughout the world,

He arrived at the answer that life is meaningless.

Itachi suddenly leaped off the cliff without hesitation.

If I hadn't realized what was happening halfway through...

Use kunai to pierce the cliff face to slow down.

Itachi, who later shocked the ninja world by wiping out his clan, may have been nipped in the bud.

He narrowly escaped death.

I don't know what exactly I've figured out.

Itachi Uchiha seemed to have suddenly recovered and awakened, no longer spacing out, suffering from insomnia, or doing those fearless things.

He began training incredibly hard.

They even go so far as to use some extremely dangerous methods in training, striving to simulate the real battlefield.
