Is Chapter 335 "Konoha of the Uchiha" or "Uchiha of Konoha"?
"Let's take another look at the environment in which Itachi Uchiha grew up."
Tetsuya continued.
"Although Itachi Uchiha was born into the Uchiha clan, he was different from other Uchiha."
When he was born, the ninja world had already entered a turbulent era.
At only four years old, he was already on the battlefield. The cruelty of war made Itachi yearn for and love peace immensely.
"And the Will of Fire, which Hiruzen Sarutobi strongly advocated, and the peaceful environment of Konoha were exactly what he hoped for."
He believed that Konoha belonged to the people of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan should also belong to the people of Konoha.
However, this idea contradicts the vast majority of Uchiha clan members, who believe that the Uchiha and Senju clans jointly founded Konoha, and that Konoha belongs to the Uchiha.
"As the clan leader's child, he could not express his own thoughts, and his thoughts were not recognized within the clan, which made him more inclined to side with Konoha."
As the son of the Uchiha clan leader, and the eldest son at that, he has been trying his best to find a way to reconcile the conflict between the village and the clan.
But it was all in vain, for the reasons I stated at the beginning.
Tetsuya tapped the coffee table; the water stains on it were still wet.
"Itachi is a genius, a universally acknowledged genius."
He also realized that the conflict between the village and the family was irreconcilable and had reached the brink of explosion.
Calls for a power grab within the Uchiha clan are growing louder, and the moment of choice has arrived.
He now faced only two paths: either rebel with his clan and seize power, or abandon his family and people.
Izuna picked up the conversation and said.
"So, he chose the latter? He abandoned his family and clan? But why? Those are his blood relatives, his family members with whom he spends every day! Why would he make such a decision?"
Tetsuya replied.
"Tobirama Senju once said that the Uchiha clan is a clan of love, and their love is heavier than anyone else's."
As an Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha's love was also like that.
And as I said before, he loved peace, he loved the village, and he loved every life!
Having heard Tetsuya's words, Izuna Uchiha already had a general idea of what was going on.
Then, Tetsuya continued.
"Once the Uchiha clan launches an armed rebellion, Konoha will be plunged into civil war."
Do you think Konoha at that time could have been a match for the entire village?
Neither Madara Uchiha nor Izuna spoke; the answer was quite obvious.
At that time, the Uchiha clan had little chance of defeating Konoha.
Not to mention, the Uchiha clan, due to their arrogant nature, already had poor relations with other clans.
Not to mention the Nine-Tails' rampage, the other ninja clans of Konoha would never stand on the side of the Uchiha clan.
Furthermore, there is no unity of opinion within the Uchiha clan; even within them, there are doves and hawks.
Not to mention, a rare genius from their Uchiha clan who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan was now standing on the opposite side of them.
Considering all these factors, the chances of the Uchiha clan's rebellion succeeding are not zero, but they are certainly not high.
Tetsuya continued.
"Furthermore, once the Uchiha clan and Konoha go to war, no matter what the final outcome is, the winner will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
A wounded Konoha is like a person injured on the sea; the scent of blood spreads through the water, attracting predators.
At this point, regardless of whether the Uchiha clan or Konoha ultimately prevails, will they be able to resist attacks from other ninja villages?
That will inevitably trigger a new great war, and many more people will die.
This was something Itachi Uchiha could not accept.
Izuna said, sounding somewhat incredulous.
"Therefore, Itachi Uchiha chose to sacrifice the Uchiha clan, which would have been wiped out no matter which outcome occurred, in order to save more people!"
"Yes, from Itachi Uchiha's perspective, the Uchiha clan's rebellion, regardless of the outcome, will result in greater sacrifices, and the Uchiha clan will be doomed."
Therefore, he chose to sacrifice this doomed race to maintain peace.
Tetsuya waved his hand, clearing the water stains off the coffee table, and poured out the tea from the cup before refilling it.
"In the end, Itachi Uchiha's choice was a good thing for the vast majority of people."
For Konoha, it meant the loss of a ticking time bomb; for the other ninja villages in the ninja world, it meant the loss of a powerful group of fighters.
Of course, this wasn't a good thing for the Uchiha clan. However, since they were all dead, their feelings were no longer a concern.
"Damn it! How could the Uchiha clan produce such a bastard!"
"Haha, look at you, you're just looking at things from the perspective of the Uchiha clan, that's why you think he's a bastard."
Tetsuya shrugged.
"Didn't I say before? From his perspective, he is first and foremost a member of Konoha, and only secondly a member of the Uchiha clan. After all, in his eyes, the Uchiha clan belongs to Konoha."
"Outrageous! When our Uchiha clan was in the civilized ninja world, Konoha hadn't even been established yet. What is Konoha anyway!"
Madara Uchiha slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Izuna spoke only after pondering for a long time.
"Itachi Uchiha believed that since the Uchiha clan had joined Konoha and were enjoying the benefits of Konoha, they should prioritize Konoha."
The Uchiha clan's attempt to seize power through a coup d'état constitutes a betrayal of Konoha.
Itachi Uchiha knew that a coup d'état by the Uchiha clan would not end well for either the village or the clan, so he chose to sacrifice the clan.
In his original plan, he and the masked man would annihilate the Uchiha clan to quell the rebellion, and Konoha would suffer no losses, nor would Hiruzen Sarutobi be burdened with the infamy of annihilating the Uchiha clan.
He himself left Konoha bearing all the sins and the name of a rogue ninja.
This not only gave Konoha the excuse that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out, but also helped Konoha carry out some difficult tasks outside.
Meanwhile, in his plan, Sasuke Uchiha would become the last Uchiha belonging to Konoha, and he would continuously grow stronger with the goal of killing him.
Until the two brothers meet again and have their final showdown!
As he spoke, Izuna suddenly slapped his thigh.
"That's why you're so sure Itachi Uchiha will keep the appointment. From the very beginning, he didn't intend to use Sasuke as a stepping stone for himself; he intended to make himself Sasuke's stepping stone!"
In this duel, Sasuke will not only survive, but he will definitely win!
Tetsuya snapped his fingers.
"Congratulations, you guessed right."
