"Teacher, you and your wife each have one of these two magical weapons, and it is best to wear them close to your body. They can save your lives at critical moments."
Namikaze Minato took the two pieces of resurrection armor handed over by Hatake Akira with trembling hands, feeling mixed emotions.
He felt that the only two right things he had done in his life were marrying Uzumaki Kushina and taking Hatake Akira as his apprentice.
"Thank you, Ming!"
Namikaze Minato thanked him sincerely, his eyes slightly red.
He knew that Hatake Akira had many little-known secrets, and he had thought about exploring them before, but gradually he lost the interest.
Who doesn’t have some secrets?
As long as Hatake Akira always cares about Konoha, Namikaze Minato would rather turn a blind eye.
And today, Minato Namikaze also received the most precious gift in his life.
Life-saving items are rare treasures in any world, and Hatake Akira gave away two of them at once, which shows how much he values Namikaze Minato.
"Teacher, we are family, please don't be like this!"
Hatake Akira couldn't stand Minato Namikaze's sentimental behavior, and waved his hands repeatedly to signal Minato Namikaze to put away his little girl attitude.
"Teacher, these are just little things, you don't have to take them to heart."
"This is still a small thing?!" Namikaze Minato glared at Hatake Akira, "If something that can save your life is still a small thing, then there is no good thing in this world."
"Hey, now that I'm done, I'm leaving."
After completing the purpose of his trip, Akira Hatake thought about running away.
"Go ahead." Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile.
"Oh, right!" Hatake Akira suddenly turned around, "Don't look for me if you have nothing to do. I need to take advantage of this little month to have a good rest."
After saying that, Hatake Akira left the Hokage's office, leaving behind the stunned Namikaze Minato.
Ask for leave.
Due to force majeure, I have been struggling all day today because someone died where I live...
I haven't settled down yet, so I can only use my mobile phone to stamp and ask for leave.
I hope all my fellow book lovers will be free from viruses, stay healthy and be able to come and go freely.
I have my notebook with me. If nothing goes wrong, I will resume updating tomorrow.
Chapter 295 Problem Child Uchiha Itachi.
"master!"
Uchiha Itachi pushed open the door of the principal's office, walked up to Hatake Akira and saluted respectfully.
"Itachi, you're here."
Hatake Akira greeted Uchiha Itachi, "How's your training been lately?"
"I have never slacked off in the training method my master taught me."
Uchiha Itachi's little face was full of seriousness, and his appearance like a little adult made people laugh.
"Come, let me test you."
Hatake Akira chuckled and casually handed his handwritten test paper to Uchiha Itachi.
The content of the exam was very simple, mostly about common sense and principles of ninjutsu training, mixed with some torturing questions about human nature.
Reaching out to take the test paper handed over by Hatake Akira, Uchiha Itachi took a quick look and felt confident.
Taking the pen, Uchiha Itachi sat down at his desk and wrote quickly. In less than half an hour, he finished the answer.
"Master, please take a look."
Respectfully handing the test paper back to Hatake Akira, Uchiha Itachi took a step back and waited for Hatake Akira to mark it.
"Did you recognize the answer to the question?"
Hatake Akira, who was drinking tea, teased, but Uchiha Itachi took it seriously.
"Master, I answered every question very seriously!"
"You are just too calm. You don't have the liveliness and excitement that you should have at your age."
Hatake Akira made some comments and then ignored Uchiha Itachi, whose face was flushed.
Picking up the cinnabar pen on the table, Hatake Akira began to mark the test papers.
I have to say that Uchiha Itachi's theory is very solid. Although the questions asked by Hatake Akira are not very profound, the many knowledge points involved have reached the level that only the Chunin level can access.
He nodded repeatedly after watching this. It was clear that Uchiha Itachi did not disappoint Hatake Akira in this regard and he got all the questions right.
However, when he saw the test questions about human nature, Hatake Akira couldn't help but frown.
Uchiha Itachi is a child whose thinking is still too mature.
Although this cannot be said to be a bad thing, the older you are, the more mature your perspective on the problem will be, and the more mature you are, the more clearly you see it.
This made Uchiha Itachi face reality too early and lose his innocence too early.
"Itachi, tell me, what do you think of war?"
Putting down the test paper in his hand, Akira Hatake asked a cliché question. He wanted to see if Uchiha Itachi would have any different interpretation.
“War originates from the ugliness deep within human hearts, and no party that starts a war can be called just.”
"No matter how many reasons we find, war is the use of violence to wantonly trample on the lives and dignity of others. We should do our utmost to eliminate war."
Just two answers revealed Uchiha Itachi's current mental journey.
Hatake Akira heard and saw clearly that Uchiha Itachi was not a bad kid by nature, he was just too idealistic when thinking about things.
Everyone knows what he said, but why are so many people keen on starting wars?
Ultimately, it is the will of those in power that is at work.
But the problem is that everyone wants to be in a superior position, and those in a superior position also want to dominate the world.
Therefore, the war in the ninja world will never end and will never disappear.
Even if there are no large-scale war conflicts, war will still exist in the world in another form.
As long as there are people, war will never stop. This is the truth.
"How to eliminate war?" Hatake Akira asked again.
"I... haven't thought about it yet." Uchiha Itachi answered frankly. He really hadn't thought about it yet.
Shaking his head, Hatake Akira looked at Uchiha Itachi again and reached out to pat his somewhat thin shoulder.
"Itachi, I remember I said before that this kind of problem is not something you should consider right now."
"Master, I...know I was wrong."
"Ah..." Hatake Akira sighed, "It's just your nature. What can you do wrong?"
What Hatake Akira said was correct. Itachi Uchiha has been like this since he was a child, otherwise there wouldn't have been the Uchiha family massacre in the original time and space.
If you think too much and consider too many things, you will ignore the simplest and most effective solutions to problems.
"Itachi, if you want to solve a problem, you have to see the essence of the problem."
"What is the nature of war?"
"It's plunder! It's the evil nature of human beings!"
Hatake Akira looked up and looked out the window. "Your previous thoughts are like clouds in the sky that are not affected by worldly affairs. You can see them but you can't experience them."
"That's right. You haven't experienced war, so it's understandable that many of your thoughts are naive."
"But Master, I have realized the nature of war!"
Uchiha Itachi rarely refuted Hatake Akira, which made the latter slightly stunned.
The relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Akira now is very similar to that between Jiraiya and his three disciples.
The subtle differences in concepts led to different opinions on a certain matter, and ultimately caused the master and apprentice to become enemies.
Perhaps, this is the reason why many masters and apprentices in the world of Naruto become enemies, resulting in tragedies such as master-killing or apprentice-killing.
The original intention of Hatake Akira to accept Uchiha Itachi as his disciple was to correct his values and mold him into the ideal person in his mind while Uchiha Itachi was still young and his thoughts were not yet mature.
But now it seems...
Hatake Akira still had many oversights.
"Itachi, you do see the true nature of war, but what can you do about it?"
"Master, there will always be a way!" Uchiha Itachi shook his head, "I just haven't thought it through yet."
"That's not a reason."
Hatake Akira glared at Uchiha Itachi, "It's not a matter of whether you have thought it through or not, but you are thinking about it too early!"
"Am I thinking too soon?"
"What else?" Hatake Akira reached out and flicked Uchiha Itachi's forehead, "You are a brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet and you're not even as knowledgeable as a person, yet you're still thinking nonsense here."
"Master, this is not just wishful thinking!"
Uchiha Itachi covered his forehead in pain, but still disagreed with what Hatake Akira said.
"You kid!" Hatake glared at the somewhat stubborn Uchiha Itachi again, "Forget it, forget it, it's better to open it than to block it. I will completely straighten you out today!"
"Let me ask you, it is people who cause wars. If we want to end wars, do we have to eliminate the people who create wars?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was speechless and thought for a long time without knowing how to answer.
But Hatake Akira did not continue speaking. Instead, he stared at Uchiha Itachi, quietly waiting for his next words.
After a long while, Uchiha Itachi already had an idea in his mind.
"We can just punish the main culprit and sacrifice some people for the sake of peace."
