Naruto: I can decompose everything

It seemed as if it had sensed something.

Itachi, who was still thinking about how to clean up the mess, suddenly felt a jolt.

For no apparent reason, he looked toward the elder of his clan not far away.

But what I saw was a bright, smiling face.

But this did not make him lower his guard; on the contrary, it made him feel even more strange.

but...

After all, the other party had just helped him solve a problem, so he really couldn't just leave like that.

Especially...

"Wow, Itachi, you're amazing! You were just standing there silently surrounded by them. I knew I shouldn't have come to help you; maybe you could have taken them down sooner!!!"

Seeing how swiftly and decisively Itachi dealt with these guys...

Izumi immediately ran over, looking at Itachi with an expression of adoration.

Itachi remained outwardly calm, simply giving a quiet "hmm".

But his fist clenched secretly...

He was clearly very nervous.

When Rin Uchiha saw this, she almost died laughing.

He deliberately made fun of them from the side.

"Hey, you little rascal, why don't you praise me, only him?"

"Tch, I was going to praise you, but who told you to use that weird technique?!"

Izumi, who had originally wanted to build a good relationship with Itachi, immediately turned back to Rin and pouted.

The two immediately engaged in a heated debate, leaving Itachi, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.

He had been thinking about how to pull Izumi out of the grief of his father's passing.

But looking at it now...

It seems we don't need it anymore?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the other person speaking to him.

"Hey kid, have you ever thought about... why these guys are deliberately picking on you?"

"Um?"

Itachi Uchiha looked at his senior with surprise.

I didn't expect the other person to discuss this issue with me.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Shimura Kotori and the others who were running away in a panic not far away, his expression dark.

"I don't know. Perhaps they've always disliked the Uchiha clan, or perhaps it's a deep-seated flaw that has existed in the ninja world since ancient times..."

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but recall the things he had experienced on the battlefield over the past two years.

He couldn't help but fall silent.

This ninja world is too cruel and too indifferent.

This made him question the very existence of this world.

At this moment, I'm actually getting a bit tired of the so-called ninja academy life, and I'm thinking of graduating and going to the ANBU to see if things will be any different.

"Rooted inferiority? Tsk tsk, what a sophisticated term. I don't understand it, but you can't stand the Uchiha? You don't need to target them every day like this, do you?"

"Uchiha Rin clicked her tongue and said."

Uchiha Itachi frowned upon hearing this.

"So, Rin-senpai, what do you think is causing this?"

"Of course it's targeted! It's the Konoha leadership targeting the Uchiha clan!"

Rin Uchiha replied with a smile.

These words startled even the usually composed Itachi Uchiha.

But before he could reply, Uchiha Rin continued.

"The essence of this matter is that the Konoha leadership is targeting the Uchiha clan and wants to link the previous Nine-Tails attack with the Uchiha clan."

However, we couldn't directly say that our clan was responsible for this, so we could only stir up trouble to make the unsuspecting villagers and ninja academy students resent our clan...

This is why so many people have been targeting you lately... After all, relatively speaking, you are currently the most outstanding member of the Uchiha clan.

"How could this be... The village's higher-ups... the Third Generation Elder doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Uchiha Itachi finally couldn't help but retort.

"Oh? You've already met the Third Hokage? That makes sense, after all, you're not only a genius of the Uchiha clan, but also the greatest genius in the history of the Ninja Academy."

"That's irrelevant. The point is, I don't think the Third Hokage was that kind of person!"

Perhaps because he had been in contact with Shisui since childhood, Itachi had a very good impression of the Third Hokage.

Therefore, he strongly refuted Uchiha Rin's words and even suspected that she had some ulterior motive.

and...

"Is it an illusion?"

He looked around warily and immediately noticed that the scenery around him hadn't changed in a long time, and that Uchiha Izumi had suddenly disappeared.

We must break this illusion immediately.

But the next second...

"I never said that the Konoha leadership targeting the Uchiha clan was the Third Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately stopped his hand seal release.

At this moment, he could also see that the other party really just wanted to talk to him about something.

It's not that I really want to do anything bad.

"So you mean...?"

"What I mean is, the Third Hokage wasn't a bad guy, but that doesn't mean the guy who targeted the Uchiha clan wasn't a bad guy. I can even tell you straight, that bad guy's name is Shimura Danzo, the head of Konoha's Root organization, and he's most likely the grandfather of that chubby kid you just chased away~"

"......Then what."

Uchiha Itachi remained calm upon hearing this.

This surprised Rin Uchiha.

However, I continued.

"Then there's the matter of... although the Third Hokage wasn't a bad person, he might still have protected Shimura Danzo, who was also a bad person... or perhaps the bad things Danzo did were actually due to Danzo's own indulgence."

"How could this be..."

Itachi Uchiha frowned.

Although he had only met the Third Hokage once, his brother Shisui had mentioned the Third Hokage's Will of Fire to him quite a bit.

He didn't believe that someone capable of creating that kind of will of fire would be such a being.

"Hmph, whether or not it happens isn't up to you to decide... At least right now, aren't the rumors circulating in Konoha targeting the Uchiha clan a result of the Third Hokage's indulgence?"

"gossip..."

Itachi Uchiha hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

Seeing this, Uchiha Rin sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Don't tell me you really believe the Uchiha clan was behind the Nine-Tails incident, do you?"

Although in reality, both the planning and execution were indeed done by the Uchiha clan, they were still considered unofficial members of the Uchiha clan.

"But regardless, it's a fact that the Uchiha clan didn't go out to provide assistance that day, and perhaps that's why the Third Hokage..."

"Heh, don't tell me you don't know why our Uchiha clan didn't go out to participate in the rescue that day?"

"Um?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at him with a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

The latter simply waved his hand.

"Don't ask me, go back and ask your father, he knows much more than I do. I'll just remind you of one thing: this isn't the first time Shimura Danzo has oppressed the village, nor is it just targeting the Uchiha. If you're interested, you might want to take note of Hatake Sakumo's cause of death, and see who else in the village is being isolated. You'll discover the secrets behind it."

"Is that so...? But I have one last question."

"Um?"

"Why are you telling me so much, senior? And are you planning to betray the village or stage a coup?"

"I've told you so much because you're a genius of the Uchiha clan, and the future of the Uchiha clan... As for betraying the village or staging a coup? Well... I haven't considered that yet. I just really want to live."

Uchiha Rin smiled.

then...

Without hesitation, he dispelled the illusion.
