Uchiha's Counterattack

"Do you care?" Itachi nodded. He could feel rejection in Xia Nan's tone, which made him very uneasy. He was afraid that Xia Nan would hurt Shishui and that this possibility must be quite high. Whenever Itachi saw Xia Nan lift Shishui's eyes, he could understand that it was not a kind-hearted gaze, but a scrutiny and suppressed gaze.

Itachi hesitated and said, "Can you tell me why?"

Xia Nan hesitated.

He was also hesitating whether to tell Itachi about Shimizu directly, but in terms of Itachi's heart and feelings, knowing that it may not be the best time for him. Itachi is too young and very young, and in addition, he only has Shimizu, a close companion, and it would be too cruel to rashly isolate the two.

However, since Xia Nan concluded that Shimizu had joined the three generations and had begun to reveal Uchiha's intelligence, Shimizu Uchiha had been labeled as a traitor in Xia Nan's inner world. As we all know, Xia Nan has always been cruel to traitors, and he hated those traitors from the bottom of his heart.

Uchiha Shimizu was able to continue to live, not because of the reason why he was not at home. After all, if Xia Nan had this meaning, he could search the entire Konoha Village in an instant. There are only two reasons why Shimizu could live or continue to live, because of Uchiha Itachi's growth line and the future direction of Uchiha.

Xia Nan stared at Itachi's eyes, and the clear eyes were not as dead as they were in memory, like a pool of stagnant water.

I remember that when I first met, 13-year-old Itachi put a lot of pressure on him. He was obviously a teenager but was so immature that he was unrestrained. He had a dull expression on his face and looked numb. He walked like a walking corpse, and he didn't have the breath of a living person.

At that time, Xia Nan's evaluation of Itachi was "a walking corpse, full of devastation." His spirit had long collapsed, and what he did was not something that ordinary humans could understand.

But in this world, Uchiha Itachi... he is only 5 years old, and although he is young, he still has hope to change.

"Because Zhishui made some wrong decisions that were not considered, I need to help him correct it."

Xia Nan finally spoke, which also meant that he began to reveal some of the information to Itachi interestingly.

Needless to say, this will inevitably arouse Fugaku's dissatisfaction and Itachi's doubts. After all, the former is still keeping Itachi away from dirty politics as much as possible and growing rapidly in a relatively stable environment. Fugaku's actions still have a trace of naive thoughts, at least in the eyes of Xia Nan, who has experienced the darkest period.

Of course, it is also possible that it is because of his own participation that the Fourth Generation Melody and Fugaku successfully formed a relationship. Fugaku's heart, covered with dark clouds, also revealed a few warm sunshine in his heart, and the light of hope has arrived.

“A wrong decision?”

After hesitating for a moment, Itachi's eyes became much more nervous.

"What is the point of mistake?"

"Although it's stupid, there is still room for maneuver." Xia Nan thought about it carefully before speaking. This is also his attribution to Zhishui so far.

Itachi opened his mouth and his eyes widened.

Obviously this comment exceeded his imagination, especially when Xia Nan said it with a very serious expression, it gave people the feeling that although it would be miserable, it would not die. But when things were so serious that they were to use "not dead" as a metaphor, how serious was it?

Itachi trembled in fear and his mind was in a mess.

"But, but Brother Zhishui would not make such a big mistake."

"He has always been excellent. Everyone praises him and says he is the hope of Uchiha's future."

"Even my father calls him a genius Uchiha, and I let him learn from him as a role model."

Itachi said incoherently, he seemed very panicked.

At this moment, a big hand gently pressed on Itachi's head, and a warm flame burst out from the palm and poured into Itachi's body. It was a golden flame that could break through time and space, burn the enemy, and it also had the effect of recovery and calming. Xia Nan punched a pure flame into Itachi's abdomen to form a burning small flame, soothing Itachi's heart that became chaotic.

"Itachi, do you admire Shimizu?"

Xia Nan asked after a look at the calm Itachi.

"That's certainly, Shimizu is a veritable genius in Uchiha." Itachi regained his calmness and was no longer so excited. But when talking about his impression of Shimizu, the one on his right became slightly excited.

Itachi's worship of Shishui is not overnight, but continues to accumulate over time and becomes more and more longing as time deepens.

"Shishui is very strong, and unlike other people in the clan, he has more humane and lofty dreams. Unlike the clan members who only say so narrow and boring words all day long, Shishui is a person who can look at the future and then calmly judge from the overall situation. If one day the family can become better and no longer be discriminated against and is discussed, it must be because Shishui successfully realized his dream! Shishui is Uchiha's real...Oh!"

Xia Nan silently withdrew her fist, then looked at the Itachi who was holding her head and squatting in tears at the corner of her eyes, and he snorted coldly.

——If Zhishui is really like this, you will not be directly poached by me in eight years.

"teacher……"

Itachi was crying and shouting in grievance.

After all, Xia Nan really put in the effort, and it hurts even though he finally took a little bit.

"Idiot, I thought you were young and would not be affected much, but I didn't expect you to be "poisoned" so deeply?"

Although Itachi looked pitiful, Xia Nan's eyes were not sympathetic at all.

"Itachi, I ask you. Has Shimizu ever told you about the will of Fire? Or has he said that people in the village should be regarded as a whole, and the Uchiha clan is only a part of the whole?"

"Hey? Yes... I'm right..."

Itachi said hesitantly because he had a vague premonition.

"So what do you think?"

"Well, although Brother Shishui was very serious when he said it, I didn't quite understand his intentions, but it felt like it was a very subtle thing. If you make a decision casually, it might change my life." Itachi frowned and tried hard to recall what happened at that time, but because he felt a bit "dangerous" at the time, he did not continue to discuss it with Shishui in depth.

But now looking back, Shimizu seemed to be testing his attitude at that time. Although he was very careful, he could not hide his nervousness. After all, Itachi could clearly see Shimizu's expression was a little nervous at that time.

"Shimizu wanted to integrate Uchiha into the village to make it an integral part, so he proposed to treat the family as part of the village, not as part of the family. I think there is nothing wrong with this sentence for Uchiha."

"If the family can be completely integrated into the village, then the village is the family. It is the same thing to protect the family and protect the village."

"Zhishui's dream is to accomplish this feat, so that the village and family will no longer be divided into each other. As long as the tribe members are completely integrated into the village, the unpleasantness that occurs today and the past will disappear, and Uchiha will usher in a new future."

"…I don't think this kind of thing is bad, and it can make the family live a better life."
