Chapter 26 Discussion
"I'm not troubled or anything, but I don't know what the situation is on the battlefield right now. I'm a little unsure about when I should go to the battlefield."

"After all, I am very afraid of death. If I go to the battlefield without knowing anything, I will easily become a martyr."

Uchiha Feiyu blinked and asked without any politeness. The Third Hokage's eyelids twitched and Kakashi next to him gasped.

Isn't this guy too rude? He asked about such military secrets directly? And what he said was a little too straightforward!
"Things about the war are Konoha's secrets... You are still Chuunin and Genin, so I can't tell you for now."

"Of course, if you are willing to take the exam, I believe you can easily become a special jonin. How about it? Do you want to try?"

"Forget it. At my age, if I become a special jonin, won't I become a target on the battlefield? It's better to be a genin. The opposing ninja village won't take me seriously. At most, I'll meet some chunin opponents."

Before Kakashi could speak, Uchiha Feiyu immediately refused to become a special jonin. If he was asked to become a jonin directly, Uchiha Feiyu might really have some ideas about becoming a special jonin, but forget it.

The total number of jonin in Konoha would not exceed one hundred. Even the Hokage had to be elected through voting by the jonin. It was precisely because of this that every jonin had a certain amount of power in Konoha. As long as they were determined, they could easily build up a small base in the Konoha Ninja Village.

But although the special jonin is also called jonin, he lacks the most important voting rights for the Hokage. In the final analysis, he is just a high-level thug.

It can be said that the most important purpose of the special jonin level is to place some lone ninjas who have reached the jonin level as shields to prevent them from entering the upper levels. Uchiha Feiyu certainly does not want to be a high-level fighter.

Especially now that Uchiha Feiyu is in the same class as Asuma, he will basically not encounter any dangerous missions. But if he becomes a special jonin, the Third Hokage will definitely transfer him out and use him to death.

The veins on the Third Hokage's forehead were throbbing. Although he had already known Uchiha Feiyu's character from his son, it was only when he saw him in person that he realized how incompatible this guy's fear of death was with that of an ordinary ninja.

"Fei Yu, you have to know that for a ninja, blindly escaping will not help you grow. Only by constantly meeting challenges and becoming the strongest ninja can you feel truly at ease..."

"Hokage-sama, will we be safe if we become the strongest ninja?"

Uchiha Feiyu interrupted the Third Hokage and looked at him with a strange look.

"Of course, the more powerful the ninja, the safer it is. If you are strong enough, ordinary ninjas will flee from you."

"But it seems that none of the Kages of the five great ninja villages died of old age, right?"

The Third Hokage: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!!"

Facing Uchiha Hiha's gaze, the Third Hokage finally retreated helplessly. After this, he didn't want to say anything more to Uchiha Hiha and Hatake Kakashi. He just said a few words of concern and left.

"Fei Yu, you are too bold, aren't you? You even dare to tease the Hokage!"

Seeing the Third Hokage leave, Hatake Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Uchiha Touha with a little surprise.

"It's just a joke, but it's better than being sent to the battlefield without knowing what's going on! You have to know that this is the beginning of the Ninja World War. Anyone who goes to the battlefield at this time will really be cannon fodder."

Uchiha Feiyu shrugged and spoke nonchalantly.

Are you kidding? If he is fooled by the Third Hokage's tricks today, he will probably have to go straight to the battlefield tomorrow! In a matter of life and death, who cares if you are the Hokage or not?

"But this can only delay time for a while. Since you are a ninja, you will have to go to the battlefield in the future." "If you can delay it for a while, then delay it for a while. The intensity of the Ninja World War is basically in the first and last few months. Therefore, after a few months, the intensity of the battlefield should drop significantly. It won't be too late to go to the battlefield then."

"Aren't you afraid that Hokage-sama will be angry? As the Hokage, it would be easy for him to punish you!"

In response to Kakashi's question, Uchiha Feiyu just sneered:
"Haha...whatever he wants! If he really dares to give me a mission that will require me to kill an enemy general, I will just defect!"

After obtaining the soul of Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Feiyu was already prepared for things to go wrong and was ready to just leave.

After all, with his current strength, even if he becomes a rebel ninja, the safety factor is much higher than directly getting involved in the Ninja World War.

Generally speaking, elite jonin-level rebels are so powerful that the major ninja villages rarely take the initiative to attack them unless they pose a great threat. The truly vulnerable rebels are basically jonin and chunin of average strength.

Well, as long as the Genin pretends to be dead, and doesn't know any key secrets, the Ninja Village doesn't have enough manpower to track it down, so as long as you are well prepared, defection is not that dangerous.

It is precisely for this reason that Uchiha Feiyu acted so indifferent when facing the Third Hokage. At worst, he would just kill him. He really didn't believe that the Konoha Village would care so much about a marginal figure like him during the Three Ninja World Wars.

Kakashi was stunned by Uchiha Feiyu's words and opened his mouth:

"Fei Yu, defection is no joke!"

"That's true. When I leave Konoha Village, I will leave a letter of resignation. I will write that the world is so big and I want to go see it!"

"This... I've never heard of a ninja being able to resign..."

"hehe!"

Uchiha Feiyu showed a hint of sneer on his face and said lightly:
"Yes, not only can ninjas not resign, they can't retire either. Unless they become disabled one day, they can only work until they die!"

"Not only that, even students who graduate from ninja schools are usually twelve or thirteen years old at most. As far as I know, even ordinary people can only start working after they are 14 years old!"

"You start chopping people when you're thirteen or fourteen. If you're lucky, you can chop people for fifty or sixty years. Then the village leaders may see your plight and let you retire with injuries..."

"By the way, Kakashi, do you really think that the profession of ninja is reasonable?!"

Kakashi opened his mouth, his mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn't utter a word.

Before Uchiha Feiyu spoke, Kakashi didn't have any feelings about the ninja profession. After all, all ninja villages did this, and he didn't see any complaints from other ninjas.

But after listening to Uchiha Feiyu's words, Kakashi realized that the job of a ninja, which requires one to work hard, is both cruel and severe. It is almost impossible to squeeze the blood, flesh and youth of every ninja.

"Now that you mention it, I feel a little confused. Ninjas...are they so miserable?"

"Haha, many ninjas have brainwashed themselves into tools. Don't you think that's tragic?!"
