"No, that won't work!"

Himawari said with a serious expression, "Mom can't even use the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack now. Even if she learns those powerful techniques, she won't be able to use them at all."

"For Mom, the most important thing right now is sparring..."

Himawari grabbed Hinata's hand, pulled Hinata up from the ground, took a few steps back, assumed the Gentle Fist stance, and said earnestly, "Mom, I'm going!"

Hinata: "..."

Despite being constantly beaten by Himawari, Hinata could feel her own progress.

In particular, their combat experience, as well as their reaction and judgment in life-or-death moments, have been greatly improved through sparring.

Although Himawari is Taijutsu- type ninja, her fighting style isn't as varied as that of ninjutsu-type ninjas. However, a crisis is a crisis. As long as her reaction speed is quick and she has the Byakugan's insightful abilities, Hinata is capable of dealing with any type of ninja.

As evening fell, Hinata and Himawari went home together and continued to feast.

The Land of Grass.

Sasuke thought about many things after he went back yesterday.

Although he didn't know what Future Sasuke, he could clearly sense that he was now able to calm down and think things through.

Future Sasuke told him the truth about the Uchiha Clan Extermination and everything Itachi had to bear.

But in the Future Sasuke will talk more about Itachi's will.

After the Nine-Tails Incident, the Uchiha clan was ostracized by the Konoha High Command.

The forces led by Danzo believed that the Uchiha clan manipulated the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha, because in the history of the Shinobi World, only the Sharingan could control the Nine-Tails.

In fact, it was indeed done by ninjas from the Uchiha clan.

Obito Uchiha... Kakashi's former teammate, and now the mastermind behind Akatsuki.

After the Nine-Tails Incident, the Konoha High Command split into two factions. The faction led by the Third Hokage believed that someone was deliberately framing the Uchiha, and that as comrades of the village, the Uchiha would not have attacked the village.

With the two sides unable to reach an agreement, the final compromise was to relocate the Uchiha clan to the edge of the village.

Konoha's actions, however, instilled fear and resentment in the Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan believed that Konoha was planning to take action against them, and they were also dissatisfied that their clan had been marginalized from the center of power by the village.

After all, in the eyes of the Uchiha, Konoha was jointly founded by the Senju and Uchiha, but the Senju Clan had produced two Hokage, while the Uchiha clan had not produced a single Hokage.

That would have been fine in the first place.

However Uchiha clan has now been forced to relocate their clan territory to the edge of the village.

This undoubtedly caused the Uchiha clan's discontent to erupt completely.

Amidst this discontent and fear, the Uchiha clan secretly plotted a coup, intending to seize all power in Konoha.

At the time, Itachi Uchiha was a double agent for both Konoha and the Uchiha, not only informing his clan of information about Konoha, but also informing Konoha of information about his clan.

Konoha, upon learning that the Uchiha clan intended to launch a coup, naturally made thorough preparations.

Although the Third wanted to resolve the matter peacefully, everyone knew that he had already made all the necessary preparations in secret, and that he would show no mercy should Third Uchiha Third a coup.

Although the Uchiha is powerful, they are still far behind Konoha, a war machine.

In Itachi Uchiha's view, if the clan launched a coup, the only result would be the extermination of the Uchiha by the village, but the village would also suffer heavy losses.

Given the situation at the time, the Third Shinobi World War had ended many years ago, and the major Shinobi Village had already recovered their strength.

If Konoha's power is severely damaged, war will immediately break out in the Shinobi World.

As Itachi Uchiha's older brother, Shisui Uchiha of Land of Water on a mission, and he knew the consequences of using the clan's power to fight against the village.

The Ice Release clan and the Kaguya Clan of Kirigakure were once incredibly powerful Kekkei Genkai clan, but they gradually perished and became history in their struggle against the village.

Both Shisui and Itachi believed that if the Uchiha ever opposed the village, the ultimate result would be their extermination by the village.

This led to Itachi Uchiha joining forces with Danzo and Obito Uchiha to completely exterminate the Uchiha clan.

Itachi Uchiha betrayed his clan on the condition that Sasuke, thus leaving behind a spark for the Uchiha clan's revival.

Undoubtedly, Konoha itself was not honorable in the Uchiha Clan Massacre, but the Uchiha were equally unjust.

From Konoha's perspective, eliminating the Uchiha clan, who were preparing to launch a coup, could be considered perfectly reasonable.

But isn't the reason why the Uchiha clan has ended up like this also due to the coercion of Konoha?

From Sasuke's perspective, the Uchiha would naturally amplify the darkness of Konoha to an extreme degree.

However, Future Sasuke also mentioned the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's assessment of the Uchiha clan: the Uchiha were a family that understood love better than the Senju, but the Uchiha's love was too deep and too extreme.

Once the Uchiha clan loses love, extreme love turns into extreme hatred.

Sasuke was somewhat confused.

He was only thirteen years old after the New Year, and his experiences were limited to his time as a ninja in Konoha and his time after joining Orochimaru.

With his limited experience, Sasuke was unable to comprehend Itachi's will, nor could he grasp Future Sasuke thoughts.

Therefore, Sasuke can only judge things based on his own experiences.

The people Sasuke interacted with most in Konoha were Hinata, Kakashi, and Naruto.

Kakashi and Naruto wouldn't talk about these things, and Hinata wouldn't either, but Hinata, after all, from the Hyuga Clan, and her usual practices are definitely something Sasuke could learn from.

In Sasuke's view, Hinata was someone who came up with her clan first, and then came Konoha.

If Itachi's situation had happened to Hinata might have been more likely to choose her clan.

Sasuke agrees with this idea.

Because in Sasuke's view, the clan should be above the village.

But the Uchiha's situation was different.

Perhaps the Uchiha clan was too arrogant and overlooked the gap in strength between themselves and Konoha, but Shisui, Itachi, and Future Sasuke were able to clearly recognize the huge gap between the two.

Whether for the continuation of his clan or for the sake of the village, Itachi's only choice was to stand on the village's side and save Sasuke.

So, does Konoha deserve forgiveness?

Those who caused the Shimura Danzō's Uchiha Clan Extermination, will also be killed by himself in the future.

The newly reborn Konoha will be led by Hinata and Naruto...

According to Future Sasuke, Danzo is Danzo, and he cannot represent Konoha.

Moreover, the idea of 'destroying Konoha's would not only harm himself, but also go against Itachi's will.

This is a logical relationship that is easy to understand.

If it were an extreme Sasuke, he might think that Danzo, the Third, and others Uchiha Clan Extermination for the sake of Konoha, and in that case, he would destroy what they wanted to protect.

However, if he calms down and thinks about the problem, although Sasuke still cannot forgive Konoha, the idea of 'destroying Konoha's is not as strong as before.

Sasuke has been thinking about this ever since he returned yesterday.

Sasuke got out of bed and straightened his clothes.

It's time to meet my future self.
