Chapter 134 Uchiha Itachi Who Hates Classes
"Itachi, today we'll talk about the Stone Will of Iwagakure."
"The core of the Will of Stone lies in perseverance. Its philosophy is to obey the Tsuchikage's orders and fight with all one's might, no matter what kind of enemy or predicament one faces."
As the story told by Shingetsu Seiun reached his ears, Sarutobi Asuma's expression shifted from confusion to astonishment, and then to some tension.
"No, Nebula—" he interrupted Shingetsu Nebula in shock, "What are you doing!?"
Shenyue Xingyun asked in confusion, "A lecture?"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened: "I know you're giving a lecture, but what are you talking about?"
"The Will of Stone? Is that something you can talk about?"
Shen Yue Xingyun remained calm: "Can't I tell you?"
Sarutobi Asuma hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course."
"We are ninjas of Konoha, so of course we must speak of the Will of Fire."
Shenyue Xingyun said, "Then why did you talk about the concept of 'jade' before?"
"How can that be the same?" Sarutobi Asuma said, "The 'Jade' philosophy is the philosophy of the Land of Fire, while we are Konoha. It's okay to talk about it."
"But the Will of Stone, that belongs to the enemy!"
Shenyue Xingyun said, "What difference does it make whether it's from the enemy or our own?"
"Nonsense! Of course there's a difference!" Sarutobi Asuma thought to himself. When Shingetsu Seiun asked him to talk about "jade" before, he didn't realize it at the time, but after he finished, he felt something was off, and today that feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
He voiced his doubts: "And why did you tell Itachi all this?"
In response, Shingetsu Seiun said, "Itachi is Mikoto-sensei's child, and education should begin from a young age. I think we, as genin trained by Mikoto-sensei, should properly nurture Itachi."
Sarutobi Asuma asked, "Does this have anything to do with what you said about the 'Will of Stone'?"
"Of course it's related." Shingetsu Seiun pretended to be confused: "If Itachi understands the enemy's mindset early on, he can better accept the teachings of the Will of Fire when he grows up and realize the superiority of Konoha's ideology."
Sarutobi Asuma: "??"
Is that the logic?
Why does he still feel like something's not right?
Just as he was trying to sort out his thoughts, Shingetsu Seiun said again, "Also, Asuma, I thought you weren't that interested in the Will of Fire. I didn't expect you to be so convinced by what the Third Hokage said!"
Sarutobi Asuma's expression changed, then he said seriously, "Nonsense! Nonsense!"
"I'm not interested in what the old man is talking about."
"The old man talks a lot, it's very noisy."
Shingetsu Nebula: "Then I'll continue talking about the Will of Stone. Do you dare to listen?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Sarutobi Asuma waved his hand dismissively. "Go ahead and say whatever you want. I want to hear what kind of nonsense you have to spout."
Shenyue Xingyun couldn't explain anything.
He simply explained the content of the Will of Stone in a simple and easy-to-understand way, from the aspects of basic principles, righteous purpose, rhetoric, and methods of propaganda and implementation, so that Itachi Uchiha's little brain would become somewhat sensitive to these righteous words.
In this way, when they encounter the Will of Fire later, they will understand its greatness and righteousness, and will have greater loyalty to the village.
As Shingetsu Seiun recounted his story, Kurenai Yuhi broke out in a cold sweat, while Asuma Sarutobi forced himself to remain calm. Fortunately, the three of them were on the edge of the main group, so no one else could hear them.
Itachi Uchiha was completely confused.
It wasn't that he couldn't understand what Shenyue Xingyun was saying, but rather that he couldn't comprehend why Shenyue Xingyun was telling him these things.
Aren't you going to talk about ninjutsu or something?
With doubts in his mind, he asked Shenyue Xingyun during a break in her class.
Shenyue Xingyun gently flicked his neck back.
Then, Shingetsu Seiun said, "Itachi."
"You're still a child."
"For children, the most important thing is to grow up healthy, both physically and mentally."
"I'm telling you all this so you'll use your brain more. Also, don't rush to learn ninjutsu."
"What's the use of training so early? Fighting is something adults should do."
"Listen to me, eat well and sleep well before school. Don't rush to cultivate chakra, or you'll stunt your growth, understand?"
Uchiha Itachi wanted to retort, but seeing that Kamizuki Seiun was about to raise her hand to slap him again, and remembering how he felt about his neck, he nodded seriously.
"I've got it."
"That's more like it." Shingetsu Seiun's hand fell down and patted Uchiha Itachi's head.
"That's all for today. I'll tell you more about Kirigakure tomorrow. Don't worry about memorizing it; just listen to the general idea."
A few days later, the troops finally returned to Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi personally took care of the wounded and comforted the team. He also gave the returning ninja a lesson in fire techniques.
Shingetsu Seiun was getting drowsy listening to the audio, while Uchiha Itachi was nodding along the way.
The child is sleepy.
For the past few days, Shingetsu Seiun has been giving him lessons every day, from the Will of Stone to the Will of Mist, taking turns talking about different ninja villages. He thought he was finally free after the ninja village lessons were finished, but then the other party started talking about the daimyo.
Shen Yue Xingyun always says he won't speak well before he starts, but if you can't speak well, then don't speak at all!
So annoying!
As a result, he now feels sleepy whenever he attends a political education class.
In a daze, Itachi Uchiha felt someone pushing him. He opened his eyes and found it was the annoying Shingetsu Seiun.
"Have the three generations of masters finished their stories?"
"No." Shingetsu Seiun shook his head: "The Third Hokage plans to tell us more about it separately."
A few minutes later, in the Hokage's office, after Shingetsu Seiun gave a brief report on the mission and Hiruzen Sarutobi offered his usual words of encouragement, he noticed Itachi Uchiha giving him a strange look.
"Nebula, this child—" Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured with his eyes.
Shingetsu Seiun replied, "Itachi, the son of Misaka-sensei."
"Chief Fugaku took him there, but it wasn't convenient, so Ms. Mikoto asked me to bring him back."
"Oh~" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Sending children to the battlefield, Fugaku is really something, what a joke."
"Let's take him home to rest quickly."
"Hong, your father has just returned. Go back and let him see him."
Kurenai Yuhi nodded: "Understood, Hokage-sama."
"Asuma." Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze shifted from gentle to kind as he looked at Asuma. "Go back and get ready. You went out without shaving your beard. What kind of appearance is that?"
"Okay." Sarutobi Asuma pouted.
Shingetsu Nebula nodded: "Then, Lord Hokage, we'll be going now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled expectantly: "Go."
"Take a good rest during this time. The village still needs outstanding young people like you."
After leaving the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai had to go home first, while Kamizuki Seiun took Uchiha Itachi alone. After walking for a while, Uchiha Itachi looked up in confusion.
"This is not the way home."
