Chapter 276 - Itachi Uchiha
"Do you think the war will ever disappear?" Itachi stared into Nagasawa's eyes as if he wanted to see what Nagasawa was thinking.
A six-year-old child suddenly asking about the war was indeed a little weird, but if it was Itachi, Nagasawa didn't think it was weird.
After all, this was Uchiha Itachi we're talking about, a one of a kind genius in this world.
It wasn't just his unparalleled talent, but also because of his maturity. Even when he was in the Academy, he already thought about things that didn't cross most adults' minds, and set it as his goal.
Perhaps from a personal point of view, Itachi was cold-blooded and ruthless. He massacred his entire Clan, sparing only his younger brother.
But from a village's point of view, Itachi was impeccable, and he shouldered everything by himself.
If he didn't wipe out Uchiha Clan, they would rebel against Konoha.
Considering how powerful Uchiha Clan was, their coup d'etat would at least cause serious damage to Konoha even if they didn't manage to take over Konoha.
After all, the enemy was from inside, not outside.
The village considered that Uchiha Clan's coup d'etat was too dangerous, so Itachi, Danzo and Obito cooperated to massacre Uchiha Clan.
Itachi had no other choice. He had promised Shisui that he would protect Uchiha Clan and the village.
If he did not make a move, what awaited Uchiha was still total annihilation. But if he did, he could at least protect so people.
Nagasawa admired Itachi who could do this. If he were on Itachi's shoes, he would definitely not do this. His moral compass was not as good as Itachi's, and that was precisely why Nagasawa admired him.
Nagasawa thought for a mont and said, "That depends on how you define war."
"The definition of war..." Itachi lowered his head and thought. In his opinion, war was the conflict between countries and their people.
When he was four years old, he had been brought to the battlefield by his father and knew how cruel the battlefield was.
Even if he showed rcy, the enemy would still try to kill him since Itachi wasn't wearing Iwagakure's forehead protector back then.
At that ti, Itachi was very puzzled why that Shinobi wanted to attack him even though he clearly wanted to save him.
Back then, his father answered his question with "because this was the battlefield, and we're at a war.
Even if they did not know each other and did not have anything against each other, they had to fight with the intention to kill each other.
The cruel war shocked the young Itachi. However, this did not leave any scar on him. Instead, it gave him a great dream.
"The countries sending a large number of people to kill and fight each other. This is how I define war." Itachi raised his head and said.
"It's very one-sided, but that answer is more than good enough for soone your age," Nagasawa comnted.
"Then how do you define war, Nagasawa-sensei?" Itachi stared at Nagasawa with a curious gaze.
"Broadly speaking, we're not the only ones who wage war. Even animals have war against each other. If you look carefully, you will find that even small ants have war."
"There is even war between ants..." Itachi was a little shocked.
"Let's not talk about animals for now. There are many wars between us humans, and what you are referring to is only military wars. There are also other wars, such as economic wars and cultural wars." Nagasawa continued.
"Economic war? Cultural war?" Itachi frowned. Those were the words that he had never heard of.
He did know the word 'economy', but he did not know what Economic War ant.
He also knew a little bit about the word 'culture', but when it was combined with the word "war
