Chapter 396: The Uchiha Clan Just Wants to Be Treated Fairly
This problem in July was kicked to them like a ball.
Tsunade and the other three are actually not a big deal, but Kakashi, the Fourth Hokage and the Uchiha brothers.
These four parties cannot get away with it like July did.
The four of them looked at each other, and no one spoke at the first moment.
It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but I can’t think of what to say at the moment.
Until Kakashi stood up at this time.
"Everyone, we don't have to worry about anything."
"It has come to this, and we still have the support of the First Generation and July."
"Let's just speak out what's really in our hearts."
"I'm alone, so I'll go first."
"You have to say that I have no hatred towards the ultimate culprit who killed my father."
"That's impossible, even if he treated me very well later."
"But that's just because of my ability."
"I will not forgive him, but for Konoha, I will choose to let him stay."
"After all, his strength has been recognized by me."
"At worst, we can just avoid each other on the battlefield. It won't be so bad if we don't see each other."
Kakashi said this in a very cold tone.
But he did let the Third Hokage stay, with Kakashi taking the lead.
Itachi also spoke at this time.
"I don't have any hatred, nor do I have any right to decide whether the second and third generations stay or go."
"I am a sinner myself, so I'll leave the decision to you."
After saying that, Itachi left their small group and walked silently behind July.
The only ones left are the Fourth Hokage and Sasuke. Minato Namikaze can't let a child speak first.
"As Hokage, I certainly hope that our coalition forces can suffer fewer casualties."
"What the third generation did was the grudge between him and me."
"This doesn't rise to the level of the village, so my opinion is the same as Kakashi's."
"It's more profitable to keep them than to give them up."
Minato Namikaze has finished his speech, and now only Sasuke is left.
July looked at Sasuke with interest, given her understanding of Sasuke.
Those who have grudges will definitely take revenge, and those who have been wronged will complain.
There is no such thing as forgiveness or not forgiveness unless the person involves his brother.
Thinking of this, July even covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
July's laughter seemed very out of place in the current environment.
Sasuke subconsciously looked at July and saw that she was smiling. His mind was also in a mess.
But in his heart, he still hated the third generation.
However, the old man from the third generation has died, and the other culprit who caused the extermination of his family has also taken revenge.
Now we are targeting an old man who has come back from the dead.
It doesn't fit his cold, arrogant and strong personality at all.
He also knew in his heart that if he really pursued the matter further.
Then my brother’s responsibility will definitely be exposed again.
This was not what Sasuke wanted to see.
So in the end, Sasuke first sighed deeply.
Then he spoke.
"You guys should solve the problems left by yourselves."
"I'll see if you guys are worthy of your reputations."
"Also, I don't care whether others forgive you or not, or whether you apologize or not."
"But the Third and Second generations must apologize to our Uchiha clan."
"You are in our clan territory right now. You can decide how to apologize."
After saying that, Sasuke crossed his arms and looked coldly at the second and third generations who were still kneeling there.
At this moment, the two of them were very conflicted.
They still don't think that they were wrong to target Uchiha.
Now he was forced to listen to the advice of a junior and apologize to the Uchiha?
This is different from the previous time when the two were forced to apologize by the first generation. Now they have to act on their own.
The first generation saw the two of them, and still hasn't realized his mistake.
Still hesitating, his temper flared up again.
"Aren't you determined to sacrifice for Konoha? What's the matter? Are you still not convinced?"
"You keep saying that you're targeting the Uchiha for Konoha's sake."
"Then let me ask you, why did you suppress their family so much during your administration?"
"But has there ever been someone like Madara in their family?"
"Even under such high pressure, only some of them had bad thoughts."
"But have they implemented it? Have you ever thought about it?"
"If you hadn't suppressed them, would their tribe have thought of rebelling?"
The words of the first generation touched the hearts of the fourth generation and Itachi.
Especially the fourth generation. When he was in power, the clan leader Fugaku was on the same side as him.
Even the hawks in the tribe at the time supported him and listened to his leader's opinions.
But after his death, the Third Generation came back to power, causing the already peaceful Uchiha to go to extremes again.
As a double agent, Itachi actually understood his father's difficulties.
As the patriarch, he cannot always favor the peace faction and suppress the hawkish faction everywhere.
Therefore, he has been trying to limit the struggle to a family civil war.
Don't let the hawks focus on the village.
However, the oppression from Konoha's top leaders not only made the Hawks' anger grow even more intense.
Even the peace factions within their family were restricted everywhere and had no energy to deal with the hawkish people.
So the conflict intensified and gradually developed into a struggle between the village and the family.
In the end, in order to survive, Fugaku had no choice but to completely switch sides to the hawkish faction.
Concentrate the strength of the entire clan, hoping to gain an opportunity for peace talks with the village.
But Itachi's thoughts were not bound by his family's ideas or the village's distorted thoughts.
He directly connected with and understood the ideals and aspirations of the first generation when they built the village.
To put it in modern terms, it is the concept between "small family" and "big family".
However, Itachi's understanding of this will was not thorough, and he was ultimately brainwashed by the Third Generation.
I was also deceived by the hypocritical faces of three generations.
He actually took action against his own family with the idea of sacrificing his "small family" for the "big family".
Now that I’ve met the first generation, I’ve witnessed its philosophy of treating all families equally.
At this time, Itachi had completely understood what mistake he had made before.
He came to stand beside Sandai, "Sir Sandai, in fact, father has always been pretending to be the leader of the Hawk Faction."
"He tried his best to control the Hawks and prevent them from attacking the village."
"But you and Danzo have always misinterpreted our father's will."
"We Uchiha also took root in Konoha. How could anyone not have feelings for home?"
"Even if the second generation drove us to the edge of the village, do you believe it?"
"No matter whether we are hawks or pacifists in our family, no one has any complaints about this."
"As long as we are still part of the village, what does it matter where we live?"
"My father and his supporters also know how much harm it will cause to the village if they really take action."
“So most of the time, they are also acting radical.”
"Their purpose is just to intimidate the village and gain a chance for negotiation."
"I know it's too late for me to say all this now."
"But I still hope to tell the truth of the matter on this occasion."
"I am a sinner. After I die, I will go and apologize to those people in my family."
"But you don't seem to think you're in the wrong. Third generation, you've already died once."
"Some things, can't you see through them?"
Itachi finished speaking and sighed and returned to Nanazuki's back. After Itachi finished speaking, the Fourth Hokage stepped forward.
"Second generation, third generation. As a junior, I shouldn't hold you accountable."
"But it doesn't matter whether it's your policy towards the Uchiha, Second Generation, or your ruthlessness towards my child, Third Generation."
"These have made me stop treating you as my elders."
"You may doubt what the kid Itachi said just now, but the facts are indeed as he said."
"Fugaku is my good friend. After I succeeded as Hokage."
"He was the first family to come up to us and surrender. We talked for a long time that time."
"Fugaku told me all the situations in the clan and some of their ideas."
"What they pray for is not power among the village leaders, nor a life of luxury and wealth."
"All they want is a little bit of fair treatment."
"But because of the appearance of Uchiha Madara in their family, their family's status in the village has plummeted."
"First generation, second generation, I don't know what Uchiha Madara did in your era."
"But should the mistake of one person implicate everyone in their family for a long time? Including their descendants who know nothing?"
"I don't believe that such ruthless suppression couldn't force out another Uchiha Madara."
"If they are treated fairly, will their family produce another Uchiha Madara?"
The fourth generation's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Everyone present nodded silently, supporting Minato Namikaze's point of view.
