Itachi first went to Nagase's house and happened to meet Kabuto who had also just returned home.
However, Nagase was not at home, so Kabuto asked Itachi to go to the Hokage Building to check.
He said goodbye to Kabuto again and quickly went to the Hokage Building and found Nagase's office.
Dong Dong! Itachi knocked on the office door with his hand.
"Come in." Nagase's voice came from inside.
After hearing Nagase's voice, Itachi opened the door and walked into Nagase's office.
After entering the office, Itachi looked around. He had never been to Nagase's office before, and this was his first time in the Hokage Building.
Fortunately, the Chunin Exam made him famous in Konoha, otherwise he might be suspected of being a naughty kid who had gone astray when he came in.
"It's Itachi. Has he recovered and been discharged from the hospital?" Nagase, who was reading a document, looked up and was a little surprised to find that it was Itachi.
"Yeah, I'm completely fine now." Itachi nodded and replied.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Yongze put down the documents and took a sip of the tea on the desk.
"Didn't you say before that you could help us fulfill our wishes after the Chunin Exams? I have thought of the wish I want." Itachi stated his purpose.
"So that's it. Just tell me. As long as it's something I can do and it's not difficult, I will help you complete it." Yongze said with a smile.
Itachi walked solemnly in front of Nagase, then bowed and said, "Teacher Nagase, please teach me how to make wars disappear and how to bring world peace."
In fact, Itachi had asked Nagase a lot of questions before, such as whether war would disappear, how to achieve world peace, and why to go to war.
Nagase rarely avoided his questions and most of the time he would answer them, and his answers were always things Itachi could not expect.
For example, he asked why the war happened. He asked this question to many people. Some people answered that it was because other countries attacked so Konoha had to fight back, and others said it was because they wanted to gain greater benefits. Nagase's answer was that it was related to social and economic relations and was determined by the contradictions and conflicts of certain social production methods. Nagase explained a lot more later, but Itachi found it difficult to understand those words.
However, Nagaze never directly told him a specific method or what he should do. Nagaze just asked him to become stronger first, saying that the strong have more say and can better realize his ideals.
"It really fits your style, Itachi." Nagase said, touching his chin.
However, this problem cannot be solved by two-barreled politics.
"What is your definition of peace? Is it the absence of any conflict? Or does it simply mean the absence of wars between countries and regions?" asked Nagase.
"There is no war between countries and regions." Itachi said after thinking for a while.
Even if he is an idealist, he would not dare to make such an outrageous ideal. It is too unrealistic without any struggle.
Even someone as good-tempered as Itachi would sometimes show an emotion called anger. For example, sometimes Izumi would hold a bag of dumplings and pretend to share them with him, but when he was about to give them to him, he suddenly took them back and said something like a genius like Itachi would not like to eat this kind of food that only children like like him.
At this time, Itachi would also feel a little uncomfortable, of course, because Izumi was just joking, the emotion would soon pass.
This is enough to show how unrealistic it is to eliminate all conflicts. Itachi only hopes that there will be no more wars in the future and that everyone does not have to fight to the death on the battlefield. That would be good.
"What kind of peace do you want? For a certain period of time or forever?" Nagase asked again.
"Forever." Itachi said without hesitation.
The purpose of eliminating war is to avoid seeing people go to the battlefield and sacrifice in the future, even if they are people he does not know or are not even from the same country.
Since we are going to do it, then do it to the best of our ability. War can disappear for a while, so why can't it disappear forever
"In this regard, Itachi, you are unexpectedly persistent." Nagase sighed.
Itachi looked at Nagase with expectant eyes, hoping that Nagase could give the answer he wanted.
But unfortunately, not everything in life can go as planned. Or, if everything goes as planned, would it still be life? Even dreams may not be as smooth as expected.
"I'm sorry. If what you want is peace for a certain period of time, I would congratulate you because your dream has been achieved and peace will come soon. If it is eternal peace, I can only say sorry because I don't know what to do." Nagaze sighed and shook his head.
If you're talking about relatively short-term peace, he can still say he has some experience, but if you're talking about eternal peace, Nagaze himself still wants that.
Nagase himself didn't know what to do, so how could he tell Itachi what to do.
He modified his previous life's system and moved it to the ninja world, and with his own invincible strength, it would be no problem for him to maintain peace in the ninja world until his death. However, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Maybe it will fall into chaos, or maybe it will continue to maintain peace. After all, Konoha will still be extremely powerful even without him at that time. It can't be that all the development for so long was in vain, right
Of course, there is also the possibility of chaos due to various reasons, or perhaps there will be problems within Konoha itself, although the probability is almost zero.
Even if he draws a template that can allow him to live a long life, Nagase cannot guarantee permanent peace. Aliens may come one day. If they could come to the Otsutsuki thousands of years ago, why can't other aliens come later, or even the Otsutsuki again.
"Teacher Nagase, you don't know what to do either?" Itachi looked a little disappointed, like a child who suddenly realized that his father was not an omnipotent superman.
Nagase stood up, walked to Itachi's side, ruffled Itachi's black hair, and said with a smile:
"Don't think I'm omnipotent. There are many things I can't do. For example, no matter how strong I am, I can't make red bean dumplings out of thin air. I still have to go to the dumpling shop to buy them like ordinary people. The difference is that ordinary people can only walk there, but I can use Flying Thunder God to go there, which is faster and more convenient."
The example Nagase gave was so vivid that Itachi understood it immediately.
Then Itachi was confused. If Nagase didn't know something, then there was no way he could give the answer he wanted.
Looking at Itachi who was in confusion, Nagase knew that it was time for talk therapy, so as to prevent Itachi from thinking too much and then going astray and taking an extreme path.
"Cough cough." Nagaze coughed twice to attract Itachi's attention.
"Itachi, do you really understand what fighting and war are? Let me ask you, what was the cause of the Second Ninja World War?"
Itachi thought for a moment, then replied: "Because the Hidden Rain Village is developing rapidly, Hanzo is not satisfied with the existing order of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world and wants to gain the same status as the five major ninja villages."
"The real reason is because of Hanzo's ambition?"
"No, the fundamental reason is the conflict of antagonistic economic interests and the contradiction between social productive forces and production relations."
"Oh, then why are social productive forces and production relations contradictory?"
"Because... because..." Itachi was suddenly speechless. In fact, he was very unfamiliar with these two words, it was just because Nagase had said them before.
Looking at Itachi who was speechless, Nagase smiled, put his hand on Itachi's shoulder and said, "You don't understand, right? Actually, you still have a lot to learn. I'm telling you because..."
The world of Naruto is very different from the world that Nagazawa lived in before. This world is very strange. Although productivity has been developing and even many aspects are almost catching up with Nagazawa's previous life, the system is still in the feudal period.
The root lies in chakra and ninja.
No matter how smart you are or how many advanced theories you have, you still have to leave if a jonin throws a shuriken.
Relying on the powerful force of the ninja, the rule of the daimyo was extremely stable.
If there is a rebellion, just send ninjas to suppress it. It is too easy to use ninjas to deal with ordinary people.
Even if there were some wandering ninjas willing to join the rebels, they were nothing more than Chunin and Genin, and could not stand a single blow in front of the elite troops sent by the Daimyo.
In such a somewhat strange world, it is even more difficult to achieve peace.
"In fact, if you, Itachi, go to the Ninja World yourself and take a look, you might have new insights into some of the things I said to you. No matter how vivid and descriptive my language is, it cannot compare to the real reality." Nagase sighed.
If you go and see the factories outside with your own eyes and then think about what the small countryside is like, you will understand what productivity progress is.
Seeing with your own eyes how disputes develop into fights may give you new insights.
"Shall we go take a look outside?" Itachi subconsciously looked for the office window. Nagase's office did not have a huge floor-to-ceiling window like the Hokage's office.
"It's just a suggestion. When you feel that you have a lot of doubts and you have the ability to protect yourself, you can try to travel around the ninja world and look for the answers in your heart." Nagase said with a smile.
Suddenly remembering something, Nagase added, "It also has to be when you have enough free time."
He was also counting on Itachi to work for him. What if Itachi listened to him and hung out outside every day like Jiraiya? Wouldn't that be a huge loss
"Travel around the ninja world, looking for the answer in my heart." Itachi muttered to himself, feeling his eyes brighten.
Because I was a child, I basically had no chance to leave the village. Konoha was not a small country village, but a military organization, and one could not enter and leave as he pleased.
The only time Itachi went out was when Fugaku took him to the battlefield and witnessed the cruelty of war.
"I think it's okay to go out now and just stay in the Fire Country," Itachi said.
Nagaze rubbed his brows. Being too active is not a good thing. Why are you going now? You are just a seven or eight-year-old kid traveling around the ninja world.
Fortunately, Itachi added that they were only active in the Land of Fire, otherwise Nagase would have to give Itachi some safety awareness education so that he wouldn't be so proud of himself just because he got first place in the Chunin Exam.
"Have you decided so quickly? Don't think about it carefully," Nagaze advised.
He felt that it would be better for Itachi to travel when he was a little older, so that he would have a deeper understanding by then.
"Well, I've thought about it. I'll discuss it with my parents." Itachi nodded.
Although it seemed quick, he had indeed thought it over carefully.
First of all, the Land of Fire is relatively safe. There is only one ninja village, Konoha. With his strength, he will not encounter any danger in the Land of Fire.
And because of Konoha's special status in the Land of Fire, sometimes he only needs to reveal his identity as a Konoha ninja to avoid some troublesome things from happening, which is very convenient.
Besides, now he has nothing to do except practicing, so he has plenty of time.
Moreover, this trip can also serve as a preparation for traveling around the ninja world in the future, and can be regarded as a rehearsal.
To sum up, Itachi did not go out on a whim, but rather made the decision after careful consideration.
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more." Seeing that Itachi insisted on going, Nagase didn't plan to say anything more.
Although he would have his own opinions when teaching, overall, he still respected Itachi's own ideas.
It was important to make sure that the thought was not a crazy one, otherwise Nagase would have used the iron fist of love.
"But the assessment of the special operations class is about to begin. You should take the assessment before leaving. This way, I can give you a reason to carry out the mission." Nagase said.
Compared to his own disciple, Nagase is still very generous. Since Itachi is going out, he will give Itachi some tasks to complete and increase his resume.
"Yeah, no problem." Itachi agreed. He wouldn't be so impatient to wait for such a short time.
"Are you sure you want to go out? I won't arrange any ninjas to protect you. After all, we are in the Land of Fire." Nagase suddenly repeated the question.
"I have made up my mind. It is okay not to arrange ninjas to protect me. I have the strength to protect myself within the country." Itachi gave the same answer.
"As long as you have confidence." Yongze nodded with a smile.
It is of course a lie to say that no one was sent to protect the weasel. Although there are generally problems with protection within the country, what if it happens? Wouldn't it be a huge loss
So Nagase will definitely send someone to protect Itachi, and he will send a shadow clone to follow Itachi.
The reason why he specifically asked again was to give Itachi the impression that Nagase did not send anyone to protect him.
Nagase thought that with so many unexpected events outside, there might be an opportunity for Itachi to open his Sharingan. If Itachi subconsciously believed that someone would come to save him at that time, he would not be able to unleash his full potential.
Only when Itachi is in crisis and feels he can only rely on himself can he unleash all his strength.
If Itachi could resolve the crisis with his explosive power, that would be great. If not, Nagase's shadow clone would jump out and prevent the tragedy from happening.
Itachi had no idea that Nagase's short sentence actually contained so many thoughts, he simply thought that Nagase just wanted to warn him.
After all, no matter how mature Itachi is, he is still a little kid who is not even ten years old. How could he have imagined that his most respected teacher is trying every means to "plot" against him.
If you try it, you might notice something, after all, practice makes perfect.
