Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Shisui followed closely beside Uchiha Kagami, moving at a considerable pace.

At such a young age, he is already a ninja.

But now he was frowning, clearly because he had just witnessed the cruel truth of war in the mountains and forests, as well as many heavy circumstances that a child his age could not understand.

"Father, I just saw it..."

Uchiha Shisui lowered his head, a hint of reluctance in his voice, and slowly began to speak.

Uchiha Kagami paused abruptly, then knelt down, revealing a reassuring smile: "Shisui, it's alright. Father will always be by your side, protecting you and helping you grow up healthy."

"But what if Father is no longer here?"

Shisui raised his head and asked the question very seriously, which immediately stumped Uchiha Kagami.

Fortunately, at this moment, Shimura Danzo, who had just been saved, stepped forward and smoothed things over, saying, "Haha, silly child. When that day comes, your Uncle Danzo will still be here."

"I will definitely protect Shisui and make sure she grows up healthy and strong."

talking.

He scooped up Zhishui and pulled him onto his shoulders, then put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, Torifu Akimichi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and the entire evacuation team gathered around, all teasing the youngest member of the group.

The somber atmosphere was immediately lifted considerably.

……

The second day after returning to the Uchiha clan.

After a short rest, the disciples of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, including Kagami Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura, immediately threw themselves back into the busy work of Konoha.

Yun An's figure stands before the Fire Shadow Rock.

Uchiha Shisui, filled with doubt, approached him: "Uncle! Why do people kill each other? Is it because they've lost someone they cherish?"

"Is it because of hatred?"

The ravages of war have made most children mature earlier, and the more outstanding they are, the sooner they experience the suffering of this world.

Yun An looked serious and remained silent for a moment before answering, "It's because of desire."

"Human desires are insatiable. The war in the ninja world, since the legendary Sage of Six Paths, has lasted for more than a thousand years. Hatred may fade and dissipate with the passage of time, but desires will never be the same."

"It may even expand and grow larger as more and more satisfaction is achieved."

"The desires of ordinary people, the desires of ninjas, the desires of ninja villages, and even the desires of great nations—all these desires collide and conflict with each other. As the conflict escalates, it turns into war, which is the current Ninja World War sweeping across the five great ninja villages and the great nations behind them."

"That desire for peace?"

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but press for an answer.

He believed his desires weren't that strong, so...

Why can't we all live together peacefully?

Must we witness the passing of life to truly appreciate the value of peace?

Do we have to wait until we lose something before we regret it?

Uchiha Shisui could not understand this at all.

Yun An glanced at him calmly and slowly said, "Peace, only war can bring peace."

Yun An leaped down from the Hokage Rock and stood in front of Uchiha Shisui, looking down at him condescendingly: "Shisui, do you know why Konoha almost always fights against the other four great ninja villages in every Shinobi World War?"

Even with some cooperation, the majority of the time there is still hostility.

Why don't the other four great ninja villages, as you just said, refrain from waging war and maintain the balance among the five great ninja villages, thus continuing the peace that people pray for and dream of?

"Shisui, do you think the other Kage of the major ninja villages, and their advisors, wouldn't have thought of this?"

Yun An asked one question after another. With each question, Zhi Shui's youthful spirit diminished, and his face grew paler.

His so-called vision appears so fragile in the face of reality.

Shisui was far from being that arrogant.

Even though he had already begun to make a name for himself in the Uchiha clan, how could he possibly compare to the Kage of a village who stood tall throughout the ninja world and wielded immense power?

No matter how arrogant the Uchiha clan was, such arrogance could only be described as foolishness.

Shisui slowly lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.

Yun An saw this and showed no pity whatsoever.

He seemed to never have such emotions; only his almost machine-like cold rationality could lead his own position and group to achieve the final victory to the greatest extent possible and with the highest probability.

People from almost any side of the spectrum are inherently convinced that only losers cry, while only winners experience joy.

Even though history has already shown that this is not the case.

However, those who came later firmly believed that as long as they became the victors in the war, they could succeed.

What they will gain is glory, and the heartfelt happiness of every individual in every faction and group.

In fact...

From a certain perspective, such a judgment cannot be called wrong, but it is not absolutely correct either.

When the will and beliefs of a group or a small community are exceptionally firm and unified, then everything about that small community is very likely to expand into the biggest factor determining the direction of the entire community.

It could even become the final result.

"There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. From the moment desire arises, war is destined to be a violent conflict between war groups, and the violent conflict between individuals is the origin of the violent conflict between groups."

"In individual conflicts, the victor holds an absolute advantage; the loser will subconsciously seek out equally weak companions."

"When the number of individuals increases, the losing side will transform from the weak to the strong, thereby defeating the previous victor and becoming the new winner."

"Konoha is like that, occupying the most fertile soil and the most abundant resources in the ninja world."

"If the other major ninja villages let Konoha run wild, there will come a day when Konoha grows to a point where they cannot defeat it even if they join forces. At that time, they will be in danger, and they may be swallowed up or even destroyed by Konoha at any time."

"Konoha wouldn't do that. Konoha is a peace-loving village."

Uchiha Shisui retorted firmly.

"Others won't believe it."

Yun An shook his head.

People's ideas are very stubborn and extremely difficult to change.

Even with a dimensional reduction attack, it is often still a waste of effort.

Even for a genius like Zhi Shui, Yun An did not believe that he could quickly change the ideas that had been instilled in him since birth.

Many things can only be truly understood and grasped by oneself through personal experience, leading to a unique understanding of the world.

No one else can help.
