"Do you think the war could disappear?" Itachi stared into Nagase's eyes, as if trying to see what Nagase was thinking.
It was indeed a bit strange that a six-year-old child suddenly asked questions about war, but when he thought that this was Itachi, Nagase could understand it.
After all, this is Uchiha Itachi, a unique genius in the entire Naruto world.
This uniqueness is not only due to Itachi's unparalleled talent, but also because of his precocity. When he was in the ninja school, he was able to think about many aspects that adults could not think of, and use this as a goal to achieve it.
Perhaps from a personal perspective, Itachi was cold-blooded and ruthless. He personally killed his own clansmen and family, leaving only his younger brother.
But from the perspective of the village, Itachi did an impeccable job and took on everything by himself.
If the Uchiha clan is not exterminated, the Uchiha will go to war with Konoha.
With the Uchiha clan's powerful strength, a sudden coup, although not to the extent of usurping the throne, would definitely inflict heavy damage on Konoha.
After all, this is not an external enemy, but a war within the village.
From the perspective of the village, it was too dangerous for the entire Uchiha clan to want to usurp the throne, so Itachi cooperated with Danzo and Obito to jointly kill all the Uchiha clan members.
Itachi had no choice, he promised Shisui to protect the Uchiha and the village.
If you don't take the initiative, the Uchiha will still be completely destroyed. If you take the initiative, you can still preserve a trace of fire.
Nagase admired Itachi for being able to do this. Of course, if he were replaced by Itachi, he would definitely not do this because his ideological awareness was not that high.
It is precisely because he cannot do it that he admires it.
Yongze thought for a moment and said, "That depends on how you define war."
"The definition of war..." Itachi lowered his head and thought. In his opinion, war is a killing battle between countries and people.
When he was four years old, he was taken to the battlefield by his father and knew the cruelty of the battlefield.
Even if he appears harmless and well-intentioned, the other party will immediately attack you as soon as they see that you don't have the Iwagakure forehead protector and uniform.
At that time, Itachi was very confused as to why the other party attacked him even though he clearly wanted to save him.
His father, Uchiha Fugaku, cleared the confusion for him, because this was a battlefield and they were in the middle of a war.
Even if they do not know each other and have no hatred against each other, they will still hold sharp swords against each other and fight and kill with the determination to kill each other.
The cruel war gave the young Itachi a great shock, but it did not leave any shadow on him. Instead, it gave him a great ideal: he wanted to end the war.
"Countries versus countries causing large numbers of people to kill and fight each other is what I consider war," Itachi said, looking up.
"It's very one-sided, but considering your age, it's good enough that you can think of this," Nagase commented.
"What does war look like in the eyes of Mr. Nagase?" Itachi asked, staring at Nagase with eyes eager for knowledge.
"If we look at it in a broad sense, it's not just us who have wars. Even animals have them. If you observe carefully, you'll find that even tiny ants have wars, with large numbers of ants biting each other."
"Even ants are at war..." Itachi looked a little surprised.
"Let's not talk about the wars among animals for now. There are also many wars among us humans. What you mentioned, Itachi, is just the military war. There are also wars on other levels, such as economic wars and cultural wars." Nagase continued.
"Economic war? Cultural war?" Itachi's brows began to frown, as this began to touch upon his blind spots in knowledge.
First of all, he knows the word "economy" when it is used separately, but he doesn't know what it means when it is used together.
He could understand culture a little bit, but when it came to practicing culture and war, he was confused.
"Don't think too much. I will explain all this to you later. Now, let me answer your original question. Can war disappear? My answer is, maybe."
Itachi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly grabbed Nagaze's hand and stared at Nagaze.
“First of all, it is possible. The disappearance of war is conditional and it is a long and gradual process.
Only when productivity is highly developed and society makes great progress, and fundamental conflicts of interest between countries or political groups disappear, will war lose its soil for existence and eventually disappear. "Yongze said slowly.
In his opinion, it is too early for the ninja world to completely lose the war. The society of the ninja world is even worse than that of his previous life.
Even if one rules the entire ninja world by personal force, it will eventually collapse, and it will be a big backlash.
However, as to how far the war would develop before it completely disappeared, Nagase didn't know, as he had never lived in that kind of society.
"I don't understand." Itachi said honestly, with a hint of redness appearing on his fair little face.
He hated himself for being so ignorant. The treasure mountain was clearly here, but he didn't even know what the treasure was.
He knew the words individually, but when they were put together to form a sentence, he had no idea what was going on.
"Hahaha." Nagase laughed twice. It was really funny to see Uchiha Itachi, who seemed to have everything under control, holding it in for a long time and then saying something that no one could understand.
"It's okay if you don't understand. If you want, I can teach you all these things." Yongze said with a smile.
"Teacher Nagase, can I be your disciple?" Itachi's tone became formal.
No matter how unreliable Nagaze had behaved before, based on his performance tonight, Itachi knew that Nagaze was not a simple person. Not only was he extremely powerful, but his thinking was also ahead of everyone else.
Before this, he had never received similar views and opinions as Nagase from any person or book.
So Itachi wanted to become Nagase's true disciple, not just a disciple who taught him the Rasengan.
"Since you call me teacher, then of course you are my disciple. However, I have very high requirements for my disciples, so you must be mentally prepared." Yongze nodded.
"Also, don't think too highly of me. In fact, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants." Nagase added.
He was able to say those words because he had learned the knowledge summarized by generations in his previous life.
If he was a genuine ninja, he would definitely not be able to say these words.
"Yeah." Itachi nodded, not quite understanding.
"Then when is the next time we meet, teacher?" Itachi asked.
"Next time, let's do it at the same time the day after tomorrow." Nagaze said after thinking for a while.
An excellent inheritor of the will of fire like Itachi needs to be cultivated from a young age to prevent him from having wild thoughts. So the training should be more frequent, maybe once every two days.
After asking about the next time they would meet, Itachi said goodbye to Nagase. It was already dark, and his parents would be worried if he didn't go home.
