Xuan held the teacup and said softly, "Concentrate and calm your mind. When you come in, you are too confused and suppressed too much. If you don't get an outbreak, it is easy to cause internal injuries. It is rare that there are talents like you among Uchiha's juniors. If you end up in depression, it would be a pity.

However, this cup of tea can only help you relieve the pressure in your heart for the time being. Whether it can be untied in the end is still your own heart. I can only tell you that if you have been living in pain, you will not live beyond twenty-two years of age at most."

Uchiha Itachi bowed his head silently. He was only close to thirteen years old now, but he was particularly mature. If he met someone he didn't know, he would never regard him as a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

"Sorry..." Itachi whispered: "I'm afraid I can only understand Senior Xuan's kindness. Sometimes the pain in my heart is not something I can relieve. Instead, I feel that perhaps dying earlier is a relief."

"What a negative idea." Xuan whispered, putting down the teacup in his hand, "But forget it, young people can understand the value of life. So let's talk about the serious matters. What is your purpose in coming to me?"

Hearing Xuan's question, Uchiha Itachi's face suddenly became solemn. He suddenly stood up and retreated. Then he knelt down on his knees, gave Xuan a respectful gift to his elders, and said sincerely: "Senior Xuan, please save the Uchiha clan."

"Oh." Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Uchiha Itachi kneeling in front of him. It was indeed beyond his expectations that he would do such a move. This was a bit different from the Uchiha Itachi he had known before.

After a little thought, Xuan understood the details.

This is not difficult to understand. In the original work, Itachi Uchiha is calm and wise, pretending to be himself in a lonely cloak, but he is actually a person with great love. He loves his younger brother, Konoha, and at the same time loves Uchiha.

But when something he loves conflicts, he is forced to make a choice. In the original work, he made up his mind to exterminate the clan in this torture. Protecting Sasuke is already the greatest effort he can make.

But in this world it is a little different. He learned about his existence and then came to ask for his own help.

"Why do you think I will help?" Xuan asked with a smile. Could it be that he is so like a good old man with a lot of love?

Uchiha Itachi did not get up, but said sincerely: "I have read Uchiha's classics and know that at the end of the valley you led about half of Uchiha's members to leave Konoha. No matter what, you should still have feelings for Uchiha. Since you were able to take Uchiha's people away at that time, you can do it now. If you are willing to come forward, maybe..."

"I refuse!"

Before Uchiha Itachi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xuan. He still had a faint smile on his face, and his tone of rejection was extremely plain, but there was an unquestionable majesty.

"Get up first. Since I didn't agree, it would be useless for you to kneel down for a long time." Xuan said calmly. He did not move at all, but Uchiha Itachi felt an irresistible power to lift him up and return to his original position.

"Why..." Uchiha Itachi asked in a low voice. He didn't understand why the other party was obviously Uchiha's ancestor and could not have no feelings for Uchiha, but he could refuse without hesitation.

Xuan filled his teacup and asked him, "Do you want tea?"

Itachi shook his head blankly. He didn't have the intention to drink tea now, but looking at Xuan Feng Qingyun's actions, he didn't know what to say.

Xuan Congxin picked up the teacup and thought for a while, "Why, there are many reasons. Do you know when I was born?"

Itachi nodded and said, "I understand that it is a chaotic Warring States Period, which is countless times more chaotic than during the Ninja War. There is no village or Xinyi, and there is war everywhere."

Xuan put the teacup beside his mouth and took a sip, "Yes, now that I think about it, it's really messy. Even the war you had seen in childhood cannot be compared with that at that time.

War is one of the languages ​​we communicate in daily life. Death is a common phenomenon. The law of the jungle was a habit at that time. Pain is as normal as breathing.

In that environment, we grew up and had enough of a hellish world, so we built Konoha in hopes of changing this sad world, which now doesn’t seem successful.”

Itachi clenched his fist and said, "It is precisely because of this that we have to continue working hard. It is because of this, whether it is Shimizu, me, or others, we are desperately trying to maintain the hard-won peace. As long as you are willing to take Uchiha away, everything will be solved perfectly."

"You are wrong." Xuan Lengran said: "There is no so-called perfection in this world since the beginning, and your persistence is just a meaningless struggle. Nothing in the world is for no reason, no love for no reason, and no hatred for no reason.

From the Warring States Period to the present countless years, my greatest gain is not strength, but seeing the so-called human hearts clearly. The affairs of the Konoha Uchiha clan have nothing to do with me. I had already given them a chance sixty years ago, and they gave up at that time.

I once said that after that day, Konoha Uchiha had nothing to do with me."

Xuan looked at Uchiha Itachi with a expressionless face and said solemnly: "If I really go to rescue Konoha's Uchiha clan, wouldn't it be too unfair to the Uchiha clan who followed me away sixty years ago?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and was silent, but he held his hands tightly. The three Goat Jade in his pupils were extremely weird, and he could even drip bleeding.

The mountain wind stormed into the house from the window, adding a little coldness to it. Xuan looked at the swaying bamboo forest and said, "Those who are rational are kind and righteous first, and those who are chaotic are rational first, and those who are rational are powerful first. Because this world has long been saved. From the beginning, to today, and even in the future, order cannot last forever. The interweaving of chaos and death is the reality of the world."

"You go back, it's time to make your choice. If one day you can understand, you can come back to me."
