Chapter 109 Shisui and Uchiha Itachi

"At the age of four or five, he was able to kill the enemy with his own hands!"

Shisui was very surprised, even though he was regarded as the greatest genius in the clan, he had to wait until he graduated from the ninja school at the age of eight and saw blood while performing missions.

Tiehuo smiled and said, "Yes, when Itachi killed the enemy, his facial expression didn't change at all. Maybe this is a true genius, just like you."

Shisui quickly denied it in his mind.

At that time, when he first saw blood, he felt a strong discomfort in his heart, and it took him several days to adapt to the identity of a ninja.

However, this child should not be completely emotionless. He should be confused, just like himself.

After remembering the name Itachi in his heart, Shisui planned to find time to talk to this cousin. Maybe they could understand each other and become good friends who could confide in each other.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi seemed to notice Shisui and looked towards this position.

The two looked at each other, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Half an hour later, Fugaku, who had just attended a meeting in the command room, returned to the Uchiha tent. Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly said:
"We just got news from the front line that the Kirigakure troops are evacuating the Land of Fire on a large scale. This war may end soon."

"The war is about to end?"

The Uchiha ninja was stunned for a moment, then said: "The war has only been going on for a few months, and we haven't even used our full strength yet, how come it ended so suddenly?"

"We didn't expect it either, but the explanation given by Lord Akimichi Norifuge (a member of Tobirama's personal guard) is that it seems that something went wrong with the Three-Tails in the Hidden Mist Village, leaving the Hidden Mist Village with only one Jinchūriki."

"In addition to the tragic defeat of the Mist Blade Seven and the entry of Golden Flash some time ago, Kirigakure seems to be caught in internal strife and is no longer able to continue the war."

After listening to Fugaku's explanation, some Uchiha present felt happy, while some felt regretful.

Uchiha loves peace, but the fighting blood in his body makes him desire war. Moreover, if he cannot gain a lot of merits on the battlefield, it will be very difficult for Uchiha to become Hokage.

However, the regretful thoughts did not last long, and the Uchiha ninja started a new round of discussion.

Even if not at the Nanga Shrine, as long as there is a large enough open space, the Uchiha ninjas can gather together to hold a clan meeting.

This time the content still revolves around Hokage and discusses how to run for Hokage.

Shisui seemed very interested in listening at first, but later he found it boring. The clan meeting was filled with the same complaints over and over again, and there was absolutely no point in listening.

The tribesmen have never thought about how to solve the problem, and have always been complaining and venting.

For some reason, Shisui felt that the image of his clansmen was very close to what Bai Ye described. Could it be that what Bai Ye said was true? Could it be that Uchiha really could not become Hokage?
A few days later, the order for the Uchiha to return to the village arrived at the front camp.

After receiving the order, although the Uchiha were somewhat dissatisfied, they still led the team back to Konoha Village. Only after returning to the village could Fugaku participate in the Hokage election.

On the way back, Shisui was found by Uchiha Itachi.

Among the many Uchiha, Shisui is the youngest, less than ten years older than Itachi. Itachi is also very curious about Shisui's eyes. It seems that the other party feels out of place in this world just like himself.

"Shisui-senpai, can I talk to you?"

Itachi approached and asked cautiously, as if he was worried about being rejected by Shisui. Shisui nodded gently, and he just wanted to find Itachi: "I also want to talk to you, what do you want to say, do you want to come over and ask for advice on ninjutsu and shuriken throwing techniques?"

"Neither..." Itachi shook his head.

Shisui became interested, looked at Itachi and asked, "What do you want to ask? I can't tell you how to open the Sharingan. You can only open the Sharingan by yourself. No one else can help you."

Itachi shook his head again, then said, "Neither, it's something else."

"I want to know what the meaning of life is. Why do ninjas kill each other? It's obvious that people will die if they are killed, so why do they kill each other?"

"Besides, if we are destined to die after we are born, why should we live?"

"I can't seem to find the meaning of it. It feels like there is no difference between being alive and being dead. Sometimes I don't even know why I'm still alive."

After hearing what Itachi said, Shisui suddenly felt a little scared, and suddenly understood Bai Ye a little.

When Bai Ye heard his answer, he showed an expression of disgust and mockery, and his eyes seemed to say that Uchiha was a little crazy.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously and even felt that Bai Ye was belittling Uchiha.

But Itachi's doubts are really what a four or five-year-old child should have, and things like suicide should not be mentioned casually, as living is already difficult.

After thinking for a long time, Shisui said seriously:
"Birth and death are meaningless, but experiencing the life in between is the greatest meaning. When you go to the ninja school and understand the will of fire, you will find the meaning of existence."

"Really?" Itachi asked with an innocent smile.

After being asked back by Itachi, Shisui was a little hesitant, but unlike when he faced Byakuya, he still had the confidence when facing Itachi, whose mind was still immature.

Thinking of this, Shisui nodded solemnly: "Itachi, I won't lie to you."

Uchiha Fugaku, who was at the front of the team, also noticed Shisui and Itachi whispering in the back, and did not take the conversation between the two seriously.

Although Shisui is the youngest three-magatama ninja in the clan, he is still only a child in terms of experience and experience.

There is no need to say much about Itachi. He didn't even go to ninja school and was just a kid who knew nothing.

However, he was still very confident about Itachi's future. With Itachi's talent, he would definitely become an elite jonin in the future, and maybe even surpass Uchiha Madara to become the strongest Uchiha and the next Hokage of the village.

If possible, he wanted Itachi to become the son of Hokage, and then there would be a grand occasion of two Hokages.

Unfortunately, his luck was not good. In front of the Sannin and Minato Namikaze, his hope of becoming Hokage was very slim. If he lost to the Sannin and Minato, he would have nothing to say.

His strength is not as good as these two people, and his qualifications and achievements are not good enough.

But as long as you have the experience of running for Hokage, it will be easy to become an advisory elder in the future, which can be regarded as entering the core circle of the village.

Although the position of security captain is good, it will always be restricted by the Hokage Building. As long as he can enter the Hokage Building, he can improve the unfavorable environment of Uchiha.
