Chapter 181 Itachi, Let's Do Another Multiple Choice Question
The thugs from Kumogakure were eager to see Konoha make a fool of itself. Seeing that An had handed them the knife, they were no longer polite and immediately started shouting at each other.
"That's right, it's only natural for Uchiha An to take revenge on Konoha!"
"Of course!"
The other three kingdoms also joined in the fun, and everyone started making a fuss.
"Konoha dared to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan; now they must pay the price!"
"Who told you not to kill people completely when you were killing them?"
"If you don't pull the weeds out by the roots, they'll grow back in the spring breeze—that's absolutely true!"
"Shut up!" Itachi roared, his eyes blazing with fury, as he turned to the ninjas from the four countries. "What do you know?"
"The Uchiha clan is narrow-minded and petty, making them impossible to communicate with. If they are not eliminated, the village will inevitably be engulfed in war again, and countless innocent people will die tragically!"
"Well said!"
Before anyone else could react, An clapped first, clapping loudly, then stared at him sideways and said, "Since you love peace so much that you'd rather wipe out your own clan for the sake of the village's peace, then let me ask you..."
"After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, and now that wars have broken out in various villages, are more or fewer people dying in those villages than before?"
"It's all because of you!" Itachi went berserk again, punching and kicking An repeatedly. "My biggest mistake was not killing you, letting you live!"
"If it weren't for you, there would have been no subsequent war and no humiliating treaty!"
"I wiped out the Uchiha clan. If you want revenge, just take it out on me. Why are you always targeting innocent people in Konoha?"
"Innocent?" An hated hearing that word the most, and immediately became intangible again, standing in the Kamui dimension, and roared loudly at Itachi.
"Where in Konoha are there any innocent people?"
"When Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were spreading rumors about the Uchiha clan in the village, who was enjoying it and even encouraging it?"
"The Uchiha clan has made so many contributions to the village, yet they turn a blind eye. They're just trying to curry favor with the Hokage's lineage, deliberately making things difficult for the Uchiha clan in every way, constantly causing trouble for them, all to curry favor with their master!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately indulged and protected them, demonstrating the Hokage's so-called tolerance and benevolence to win them over, while the Uchiha clan, who strictly enforced village rules, were hated by all sides!"
An became increasingly angry as he spoke, his face filled with resentment and malice.
"What do you mean you're only retaliating against me?"
"Are you worthy?"
An shouted loudly.
"Itachi, don't overestimate yourself!"
"You're nothing but a tool that Hiruzen Sarutobi manipulates, something he uses like a dog. The only reason you haven't been used and then discarded is because you still have some use to you!"
Do you really think he trusts you that much?
"If I hadn't miraculously survived and exposed what happened to Konoha during the Uchiha massacre, you wouldn't even be able to return to Konoha now. You would be forced to act as a scapegoat for Konoha, infiltrating the Akatsuki organization as a rogue ninja to gather intelligence for them."
"You're only able to stand here as a Konoha ninja because of my powerful enemy!"
"Of course I won't let you go, but I certainly won't let Konoha Village go either!"
"We won't let those ungrateful bastards from Konoha who aided and abetted evil get away with it!"
"Ha ha----"
An suddenly burst into laughter, spreading her arms wide as if to show them off to everyone.
"Let me show you what I've got!"
"All of this is the result of my hard work!"
"Look around you, how many of those faces are still familiar to you?"
"Take another look at this traitorous treaty that Hiruzen Sarutobi just signed!"
"Isn't it exciting?"
Seeing Itachi's ashen face, clenched fists, trembling body, and kaleidoscope eyes spinning wildly, An felt a surge of pleasure and deliberately teased, "Itachi, it seems you feel extremely ashamed of the contents of this treaty?"
"Now let's go back to the question we just discussed: when faced with the choice between ceding territory and paying reparations and the lives of your fellow villagers, what would you choose?"
"Would you choose to cede territory and pay reparations in exchange for peace?"
"Should we choose to sacrifice the lives of the village's ninjas to wage war and reclaim the land lost by the Land of Fire?"
"If you choose peace, then I have nothing to say. I respect you; you're a true man, indeed a pacifist!"
"The Five Kage and ninjas from various countries are all here; let's have them as witnesses!"
"As long as you swear to everyone that if anyone in Konoha dares to start a war and drag Konoha back into the quagmire of war, breaking the peace of your beloved village, you will destroy whoever does it, just like you destroyed the Uchiha clan."
"Then I swear that from this day forward, all grudges between Konoha and you will be wiped clean, and I will never again cause trouble for Konoha or you!"
After saying that, An waved his hand again to the other four countries and shouted loudly, "All the Kage and Jonin are here. Would you be willing to be my witnesses?"
"Yes! Of course I'm willing!"
The group of people were overjoyed and loudly echoed their agreement.
They felt that coming to the Five Shadows Summit was absolutely the right decision; this one great show alone was worth the price of admission.
Regardless of Itachi's final answer or whether he's willing to make the vow, they won't lose out.
In reality, whether the so-called treaty can take effect and for how long it can take effect depends on the strength of each ninja village.
There have been at least eight or ten treaties signed between countries, but which one has lasted for more than ten years?
It's not uncommon for contracts to be signed and then immediately torn up.
If Itachi had a brain fart and actually made that vow, that would be wonderful.
From now on, Konoha Village will have planted a huge time bomb for themselves. If they want to take back their lost territory by force, they will have to kill Itachi first!
"You—" Itachi was furious, pointing at An and gritting his teeth, but after breathing heavily for a long time, he still didn't say what to choose.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Don't know what to choose?"
An sneered, staring intently at Itachi, and questioned him word by word: "When you wiped out your entire family, you weren't this hesitant!"
"You were so decisive back then!"
"Or rather, you've already made your choice, but you've chosen to wage a new war to reclaim the lands lost by the Land of Fire?"
"Those lands originally belonged to the Land of Fire!" Itachi roared, veins bulging on his face.
