Chapter 102: Decision
"I took part in the Ninja World War last year. On the battlefield, I found that an Iwagakure Shinobi was still alive, so I wanted to save him, but he immediately tried to kill me the moment he saw me, so I killed him. I did not have any ill intent. I even gave him water to drink, but why did he want to kill me? I asked my father this question. My father's answer was because of war. I wonder if people will stop fighting, and so many lives can be spared if there is no war. So I am curious about what other people think of war." Itachi closed off his story and looked at Kabuto.
Kabuto looked at Itachi in surprise. He did not expect Itachi to have participated in the last Shinobi World War and even killed another Shinobi.
"If there is no war, the world should be much better," Kabuto affirmed Itachi's idea.
As a war orphan living in an orphanage, Kabuto knew too well the pain brought about by war.
He did not know about himself since he had lost his memory, but the rest of the people in the orphanage used to have a happy family before, but the war destroyed everything.
"Do you think so too?" Itachi was elated.
There was almost no one who could understand his thoughts among his peers.
The only person he could talk to was Shisui, who was not of the same age as him. Moreover, Shisui seemed to have become much busier recently. It had been a while since he had seen him.
Kabuto nodded. He had knew understood the unique part of Itachi. Itachi was really mature, too mature for this age, in fact.
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'll have to train for a while." Kabuto felt that he had almost fully recovered, so he walked to the pit again and began practicing.
Itachi watched as Kabuto began to practice Water Release. After thinking for a moment, he finished his Dango and began to practice Fire Release.
