Chapter 55 Commentary: The Second Hokage said that the Uchiha clan is possessed by evil.
Madara Uchiha's silence made Hashirama Senju realize that he also didn't know who "Indra" and "Kaguya Otsutsuki" were in the comments.
"Although the red and blue teams have different opinions, their understanding of us is not without merit." Hashirama: "Madara, they are right. As a friend, I am not as reckless as Naruto Uzumaki."
"I've already said it, you're not Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm not Sasuke Uchiha, Hashirama."
White-cut Black Hashirama sat on the ground, hugging his knees. "Yes, we've never kissed, and we didn't even know that Uchiha men could have children."
"!!!!!!"
Madara was both angry and embarrassed. He was a ruthless man who didn't talk much, and he slashed out with his Susanoo sword!
Hashirama chuckled and dodged, "Just kidding. It's rare to be able to chat with you like we did when we were kids; it feels so much more relaxing." As Madara retracted his Susanoo, Hashirama said wistfully, "If only things could always be like they were when we were kids..."
Madara really hates Hashirama for having no sense of boundaries.
However, thinking that it was precisely because he wanted to always be like when he was a child, that he was just Madara, and Hashirama was just Hashirama, and that their respective brothers were still behind them... that he wanted to carry out the Sage of Six Paths' Eye of the Moon Plan.
"But people can't stay stagnant forever, Ban."
"Hashirama, you just can't see it."
Ban was unwilling to say more.
He believed that Hashirama's inability to understand now was only temporary, and that once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was successfully completed, Hashirama would realize that he was wrong and that only his own path was correct.
"spot……"
"..."
The two fell into deep thought, and neither spoke another word...
……
Timeline before the Uchiha Clan Massacre —
[Blue] [On one hand, it seeks to gain power by sacrificing love; on the other hand, it wants to use that power to protect love.] 198 people liked this.
[Blue] [All my loved ones are dead, and all I can protect in the end is the honor of the Uchiha clan...] 696 people liked this.
These two simple sentences clearly encapsulate the suffering of countless members of the Uchiha clan.
Even the hawkish Uchiha members felt a dull ache in their hearts from those two sentences.
Rumors have long circulated within the Uchiha clan that the Second Hokage suppressed the Uchiha, but according to those who know the truth, these words actually came from the Second Hokage himself.
Yet, he understood the contradictory fate of the Uchiha clan even better than the Uchiha themselves.
At this moment, those tribespeople who had awakened their eyes lowered their heads, recalling the pain they had endured during the awakening process. It was precisely because they feared experiencing that pain again that they desperately pursued power.
But when they finally had a chance to turn back, they discovered that in their pursuit of power, they could no longer find what they had once wanted to protect...
All that remains are the instructions still echoing in my ears, my own vows, and the honor of my clan.
"So that's why the Uchiha clan values their reputation so much?" 6-year-old Naruto asked the Third Hokage.
In his memory, Sasuke always liked to say things like "I'll stake the honor of the Uchiha" and "I'm Uchiha Sasuke of the Uchiha clan," he was incredibly arrogant, which of course made him quite envious...
After all, he had nothing of his own and had never heard of the Uzumaki clan or anything like that.
Sasuke turned his face away, somewhat embarrassed.
These were things he often heard the adults in his clan say, and he thought they were cool, so he just showed off at the ninja academy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, "The fate of the Uchiha clan is indeed as the Second Hokage said, as if they were cursed by evil. Because they value love too much, they are destined to lose it. In the end, they are more likely to be extreme in their thinking than ordinary people, obsessed with power and the honor of their clan, because that's all they have left."
Even the most hawkish Uchiha clan members couldn't refute this.
They gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and hated the fate that had been written for them.
Even the Konoha ninjas who had previously clamored to arrest and strictly guard the Uchiha clan couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at them.
The atmosphere inside the ninja academy classroom was like the fallen leaves of late autumn outside the window—quiet and desolate.
Looking at his two sons, Fugaku Uchiha finally spoke his mind, which he had been unwilling to say before.
"It's precisely because I want Sasuke to grow up in a simple and happy environment like other children from other clans that I deliberately avoid paying attention to him..."
Sasuke: "!!!!"
"I just hope he can walk the path he chooses in the future, even if he never awakens the Sharingan, as long as he doesn't have to bear this fate..."
Six-year-old Sasuke stared at his father in astonishment!
My father...
Hasn't his brother always been the only figure in his eyes?!
……
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
I hope to walk the path I have chosen...
Upon hearing his father's heartfelt words from the first mirror, Sasuke's eyes widened in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Is that really how it is...?
My father... he actually thinks that way...?
"Itachi! Promise me one last thing!"
"Sasuke, he..."
"Please."
The tears that I thought I would cry out by dusk unexpectedly broke free from their confinement, crossed my cheeks, and fell directly onto the scorched earth of the battlefield.
Returning to the timeline before the Uchiha Clan Massacre—
Besides Sasuke, Itachi also realized that he seemed to have never really understood their father!
The 11-year-old Itachi looked at his father in surprise as he spoke.
Tianma protected him with her life in exchange for his Sharingan.
Back then, his father didn't utter a single word of concern for the lives of outsiders, only praising him for obtaining the Sharingan. Although he smiled and responded to his father's expectations, what was he really thinking at that moment?!
"That was a human life, Father."
Even so, you still…
—Are they only concerned with the interests of their own clan and the influence of the Sharingan in the village?!
……
"I'm sorry... Father..."
At the age of 11, Itachi, who had just joined the Anbu and become Kakashi's subordinate in the west, lowered his head.
The sudden apology drew the attention of Fugaku Uchiha, Sasuke, and Shisui.
Uchiha Izumi, who had just finished her mission and rushed over after hearing about this, also looked worriedly at Itachi, who had suddenly opened his Sharingan.
"Itachi?"
"elder brother?"
Fugaku Uchiha and Sasuke spoke at the same time.
Itachi Uchiha: "I feel like... I've never really understood you..." Unlike Sasuke, who was unaware of what had happened, he guessed what his future self had done based on some of the comments in the previous video...
Without a future for the Uchiha clan, Sasuke accepted a mission from the Konoha leadership and relentlessly sought revenge.
The only reason I can think of...
Only the Uchiha clan launched a coup, and in order to protect the honor of their clan, they carried out their own...
—Extermination and massacre!
He was distressed by the narrow-mindedness of his people, but forgot that they were also suffering the same pain.
His father, who possessed a higher-level Sharingan eye technique, and those stubborn clansmen, they suffered even more than him, lost even more than him, and were even more afraid of losing him.
In the end, only the honor of the clan remained, like a small crystal held in the palm of one's hand. The fangs and spikes were sheathed, and the clan's honor was carefully protected in the heart...
Itachi's Sharingan with two tomoe slowly transformed into three tomoe.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
"!!!"
