In Konoha, my ninja cat is invincible

Chapter 6 Sasuke is coming!
The two entered the restaurant.

Four dishes have been placed on the dining table.

The alluring aroma wafts out, making people's index fingers move.

"Itachi, let's eat."

"Yes, Shiroishi-senpai."

While eating, Shiraishi looked at Itachi Uchiha.

He was only nine years old, but his childishness was completely gone.

Instead, it presents a mature and prudent atmosphere.

Shiraishi remembers that in the original plot, Uchiha Itachi, who was only six years old, had already begun to think about the meaning of life and death.

A man is sitting under an old tree, thinking about what is the true will of fire.

Where the leaves are flying, the fire is still alive.

"what about the taste?"

"very good."

Uchiha Itachi said: "This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten."

"That's good, eat more."

After lunch, the two returned to the lounge.

Shiraishi looked at Itachi Uchiha.

"Itachi, before we formally talk about the situation of the family and the village, how about we talk about something else?"

"What does senior Shiraishi want to talk about?"

"Itachi, you have a brother, right?"

"Correct."

"A long time ago, I also had a younger brother. Unfortunately, when I was a child, I fell ill. The disease was very serious. I couldn't save him. I couldn't grow up smoothly. I have always regretted this incident."

This is a true thing. Shiraishi didn't lie. By bringing this matter up, Shiraishi felt that he could get closer to Uchiha Itachi and improve Uchiha Itachi's favorability.

At the same time, when it comes to Sasuke, it seems natural.

"Feel sorry."

Shiraishi waved his hand.

"This has nothing to do with you Itachi. There's no need to apologize. Besides, it's been a long time since. I'm relieved."

After a pause, Shiraishi continued: "By the way, Itachi, can you tell me something about how you get along with your younger brother?"

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment.

"I wasn't that old when Sasuke was born."

"At that time, I had no idea what my brother was, but the moment I saw Sasuke, I felt a very close aura from him."

"It's strange to say that when Sasuke saw his father and mother, they were both crying and noisy. But when he saw me, he immediately calmed down."

"so cute."

"Not long after Sasuke was born, a major event broke out in the village, namely, the Nine Tails Rebellion."

"At that time, Sasuke was only a few months old, but he seemed to know what was going on outside. He was very sensible and didn't cause me any trouble. He just let me hold him quietly."

"..."

"But now because I'm too busy, I spend a lot less time with Sasuke."

"I know Sasuke is disappointed, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Uchiha Itachi said and sighed.

"There is really no way."

Shiraishi nodded and said, "The relationship between Uchiha and the village is getting worse and worse, and more of this pressure is falling on you."

"When Shisui and I discussed it before, there were two directions."

"One is to not think about why Uchiha and the village have become like this, but to directly think of ways to solve the current bad relationship between Uchiha and the village."

"The other is to start from the reason why Uchiha and the village became like this, and solve the problem from this aspect."

"Itachi, what do you think?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Shiraishi.

"Senior Baishi, I think the former may be more suitable. If you trace the source, there are too many problems involved, and the efficiency of solving it will be very slow, and it may not be successful."

"My opinion is the same as yours, Itachi."

Shiraishi said.

"However, this is difficult, because the conflict has lasted for a long time. In Uchiha, many people have a lot of dissatisfaction with the village. It is not easy to suppress their thoughts."

"By the way, Itachi, what do you think, the patriarch?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

"Father, he is trying to control, but the effect is not very satisfactory."

"Shisui's idea is to enter the security department. At present, Uchiha has the most contact with the outside world, and it is the security department. Shisui hopes to start from the security department to ease the relationship between Uchiha and the village."

"The Ministry of Security has a really big problem."

The two of them continued to talk.

But Shiraishi could tell that Uchiha Itachi didn't trust him very much.

The real thoughts and opinions were not expressed.

This can be clearly seen from Uchiha Itachi's favorability.

Before, the favorability level was 68. After lunch, after Shiraishi and Uchiha Itachi chatted for so long, it can be imagined that it didn't even improve by 1 point.

"It's getting late, Senior Baishi, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

"it is good."

Uchiha Itachi got up.

Shiraishi sent Uchiha Itachi to the door, took out a small bag, and handed it to Uchiha Itachi.

"This is the afternoon tea snack made by Alice. Please bring some back to Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment and took it.

"Thank you, Shiroishi-senpai."

Watching Uchiha Itachi's leaving figure, Shiraishi's expression softened.

"So vigilant and defensive?"

"Having a relationship with Shisui, and eating such delicious food made by Alice, most of the time, he just echoes what I say, without any indication of his true intentions."

"In other words, doesn't Uchiha Itachi not trust Shisui high enough?"

Shiraishi shook his head.

"My previous judgment was indeed correct."

"It's too difficult to improve Uchiha Itachi's favorability."

"The deliciousness of Alice's food has only just improved by 2 points."

“This is someone who thinks for themselves.”

"But fortunately, it's not all without gain."

Shiraishi felt that even if Uchiha Itachi no longer trusted him, the afternoon tea he asked Uchiha Itachi to bring would still be brought to Uchiha Sasuke, so he would not think that the afternoon tea he gave him could not be eaten.

In that case, the chances of Shiraishi and Uchiha Sasuke coming into contact would be much higher.

Not long after, Uchiha Itachi returned home.

"Father, mother, Sasuke, I'm back."

A woman raised her head and looked at the door. After seeing Uchiha Itachi, she showed a gentle smile.

"Itachi is back. Your father is out. Sasuke is in the backyard. Have you eaten?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

"No, I just came back from the ninja shop, had lunch there, and brought back some refreshments from there, mother, would you like to have some together?"

"Grandma Cat's ninja shop?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

"But Granny Neko is not here now. Shiraishi-senpai is looking after the shop. The refreshments are made by Alice, the chef of the ninja shop. Alice's craftsmanship is very good, no, very good."

"Is it better than my craft?"

Uchiha Mikoto asked with a smile.

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a while.

"Different styles."

Hearing this sentence, Uchiha Mikoto knew that Alice's craftsmanship was probably much better than her own.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Uchiha Itachi to say this.

"Then I really want to try it. Let's go to the backyard together."

"it is good."

"Brother, mother!"

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes lit up the first time he saw Uchiha Itachi, excitedly rushed towards Uchiha Itachi, and jumped slightly when he came to Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi reached out and hugged Uchiha Sasuke.

"Brother, you haven't been back for a long time. Can you accompany me to practice kunai throwing today? You agreed last time."

Itachi Uchiha wanted to refuse.

But after hesitating for a while, he agreed.

"it is good."

"Great, thank you brother."

Uchiha Sasuke cheered.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a gentle look in his eyes.

However, the tenderness in Uchiha Itachi's eyes may only be available to Uchiha Sasuke among the Uchihas. When looking at other people, it is unlikely.

"Have some tea, I brought it back, it's delicious."

Uchiha Itachi placed the tea in his hand on the table.

"it is good."

As soon as I opened it, the aroma of tea was overflowing.

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes lit up slightly.

Then he reached out and picked up a small piece.

"Indeed, very good."

Uchiha Sasuke had already started eating quickly.

"Delicious!"

"Brother, you can eat too."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

"I've already eaten, and these are for you."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the refreshments on the table, slowed down, picked up a piece, and handed it to Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother, please eat another piece, just one piece."

This time, Uchiha Itachi didn't refuse any more.

"it is good."

Uchiha Sasuke pushed another part aside.

"These are for father. By the way, brother, where did you buy these refreshments? I'll buy them next time."

"I didn't buy it, I brought it back from the ninja shop."

Sasuke Uchiha froze for a moment, his eyes became more curious.

"Which ninja shop?"

Itachi Uchiha hesitated.

"Okay, Sasuke, I will take you there tomorrow. In addition to ninja tools, there are also many ninja cats in the ninja shop. Shiraishi-senpai in the ninja shop is also a good person."

"Okay, thank you brother."

Uchiha Itachi stretched out his hand and rubbed Uchiha Sasuke's head.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be enjoying it, just like a ninja cat.

Uchiha Itachi didn't completely trust Shiraishi, but he still had a certain degree of trust and felt that Shiraishi was a decent person.

In addition, within the scope of Uchiha's resident, no one dares to be unfavorable to Uchiha Sasuke.

For Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi feels guilty.

Therefore, after remembering that Shiraishi mentioned that he once had a younger brother, and seeing Uchiha Sasuke's love for refreshments, he wanted to take Uchiha Sasuke to a ninja shop.

After having tea, Uchiha Itachi took Uchiha Sasuke to the nearby woods for practice.

It was not until the evening when the sky darkened that I went home.

On the other side, Uchiha Shisui came to the ninja tool shop.

"White Rock."

"Stop the water."

Shiraishi asked Alice to make some supper.

The two chatted while eating supper.

"I never thought that the chefs in the ninja shop could be so good, Shiraishi, I'm a little envious of you."

"If you like, you can come here often. It's just a matter of ordering more ingredients and more sets of cutlery. If you care about Shisui, just pay for the food."

"Really? Then I'm welcome."

Saying that, Uchiha Shisui took out his purse.

"Just leave this here. I won't need it anyway."

However, after putting down the purse, Uchiha Shisui hesitated again.

"But, wouldn't this be bad for you, Shiraishi? After all, Alice is the chef of the ninja shop. If Alice is dissatisfied, will she blame you, Shiraishi, when Granny Cat comes back?"

"Will not."

Shiraishi said: "I have a very good relationship with Alice."

Uchiha Shisui was relieved.

"Shiraishi, what did you and Itachi talk about during the day today? Did you find out anything?"

"Itachi's trust in me is not very high. We just briefly chatted about the current situation of Uchiha and the village. I can't see anything for the time being, but I found a breakthrough."

"what?"

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Shiraishi said: "From what Uchiha Itachi said, he seems to care very much about Uchiha Sasuke, his younger brother, so I plan to get in touch with Uchiha Sasuke."

"Maybe we can get some useful information from Uchiha Sasuke."

Uchiha Shisui nodded.

"That's fine."

"What about you, Shisui? How is the progress with the security department?"

"I have already got the position, and I can officially take up the position tomorrow. I will lead a small team and be in charge of an area. I haven't figured out how to do it. Let's see."

"What are the specific responsibilities of the Ministry of Security?"

Uchiha Shisui said.

"The main thing is to enforce the village's regulations and mediate conflicts among villagers."

"Both of these jobs are indeed easy to offend. No wonder the ninjas in the security department have such a bad reputation among the villagers, and they have also affected other Uchihas."

"I plan to observe what other members of the security department do first."

"It would be great if the working mode could be modified to ease the relationship between the security department and the villagers."

Shiraishi asked: "Shimizu, is the entire Konoha Security Department now in charge of Uchiha?"

"Yes."

"Who made the rules of the village?"

"Of course it's the upper echelons of the village."

After Uchiha Shisui finished saying this sentence, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes flickered.

Shiraishi continued.

"The high level of the village makes regulations, and the villagers of the village violate the regulations. As a member of the security department, Uchiha must uphold the regulations, so he will definitely conflict with the villagers."

"If you don't punish the villagers, you will be criticized by the village leaders."

"Shisui, actually I have an idea."

Uchiha Shisui asked subconsciously: "What idea?"

"During this process, the villagers had strong opinions on the security department, but they did not have such strong opinions on the village senior management who formulated the regulations. This proves that regulations are not the problem, and punishment is not the problem, but contact is the problem."

"Then, adding another layer between the security department and the villagers may improve the situation of the security department. This additional layer can directly contact the villagers."

"This level of people can be hired from ordinary ninjas or from villagers."

"In that case, there will be much less opportunities for people from the security department to have direct contact with the villagers."

"The security department will also become a high-level one."
