This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"Otherwise... it will probably be washed away like a fragile and irresistible bridge under the rolling water."

Chapter 15:【Limit】

"Only 5 minutes have passed. Although it doesn't take long for the first attempt, every adult knight under my command can do it for at least an hour."

Artoria's reminder sounded in my ears, "Itachi, although you are a child, since you have been on the battlefield and can persist in that kind of long-distance trek, you should have no problem doing it for half an hour for the first time. "

It's just... 5 minutes?

hiss--

With his eyes closed tightly, Itachi had never felt that controlling his breathing was such a difficult thing.

It was as if he was holding a breath, but he could breathe out normally at one time.But it must be divided into ten small portions, even twenty small portions, and thirty small portions, so slowly exhale the stale air.

It's like inhaling, obviously enough oxygen can be inhaled at one time.But it must be divided into multiple times, inhaling a little bit, feeling the breath entering the lungs along the throat, so as to achieve ventilation, ventilation, and gas transmission in the blood...

If this breathing method is only performed once or twice, it will not be too difficult.

But if it takes ten or a hundred breaths, or even maintains and controls the breathing rhythm all the time, then this difficulty becomes extremely painful.

Especially when the Qi and blood in the body became faster and faster with the rhythm of breathing, an unspeakable pain occupied Itachi's heart.

But this pain is not physical pain.

It's mental torture.

Swelling, retching, wheezing and even... giving up, in the dark field of vision, all kinds of distracting thoughts flooded Itachi's mind unconsciously.

He wanted to stop his movements, he wanted to stop the control of breathing, he wanted to stop the control of the flow of Qi and blood, and even his body trembled unconsciously.

Even in my mind, I have already started to fantasize about starting and stopping.I can breathe freely, I can stand up straight, and I can lie on the lawn with big characters...

But unfortunately, not yet.

As Artoria said, this is not just a physical exercise, but also a spiritual exercise.

At the same time, in this process, I seem to be able to feel the physical energy and drive it more carefully.

Although this level of improvement was very weak, Itachi still felt this change, and his heart, which was full of distracting thoughts, suddenly calmed down.

Compared with the endless torture and darkness, as long as he can see a little bit of light and a little reward, he firmly believes that he can persevere.

"It's been three minutes."

Artoria's voice sounded again.

But this time, her voice didn't affect Itachi's mind anymore.

"15 minutes..."

"Two 10 minutes..."

Almost every 5 minutes, she will make a sound.

And as time passed bit by bit, beads of sweat slid down Itachi's body like a stream of water, wetting a large area of ​​the ground.Then, the wet land is gradually evaporated and rises with the hot sun.

At this time, Itachi's body was no longer white as before, but was dyed a layer of faint pink.

The agitated blood was rushing in his body, and the speed of its flow was even more enthusiastic than when he was running or on the road before.

And this enthusiasm, like sweat falling on the hot ground, turned into mist and slowly rose from his body.

Under the sun, Itachi seemed to be in a bathroom filled with mist, wrapped in mist, looming.

"Ten minutes is up, you can stop now."

Artoria got up from the tree stump, her eyes full of appreciation.

"I feel like... I haven't reached my limit yet."

But Itachi's voice was transmitted to her ears through her heart, "If a knight under your command normally persists in this kind of training for an hour, I can do it too."

"But they are full-grown knights."

Arturia kindly reminded, "Although your physique is stronger than that of normal children, but... after all, you haven't developed to the best stage yet."

"I can."

Itachi persisted.

As for this, Artoria did not stop her, but sat back on the tree stump again, staring at the small body with her eyes fixed.

In the following time, Arturia did not announce the time, and Itachi did not ask.

He didn't stop until he couldn't hold on anymore and felt that the water in his body, blood depletion, muscle endurance, etc... had reached a peak.

"A total of 1305 minutes, very good, more than two hours."

Artoria once again raised her evaluation of Itachi's tenacity.

But soon, she stood up from the stump abruptly.

Because Itachi didn't answer her, instead he stumbled like a person who lost his mind, and moved in an unknown direction.

"Is it too extreme?!"

Artoria quickly realized the conditions she had ignored.

Itachi is not himself, he doesn't have dragon blood in his body, he doesn't have a strong body like his own, and he doesn't have the strong resilience like a dragon!

And just when Arturia realized her mistake, Itachi was already pulling his exhausted body, which was a bit uncontrollable even when he walked, and moved towards the stream little by little.

Lips are chapped like a drought-stricken earth, and a dry throat is like a dry well.In addition, let alone the body that was so hot that it seemed to have a high fever and the stomach that was so hungry that it was churning with acid.

Itachi knows he needs to...

wow-

Accompanied by the sound of splashes, the weasel's body crawled into the stream, which was only at the height of his thighs.

"and many more……"

Artoria, with a worried face, followed behind him in a little haste, trying to prevent him from falling into the stream.

But unfortunately, she is only a spirit body, and there is no way to touch Itachi's body.

Gollum Gollum Gollum...

Regardless of whether the stream was clean or not, the ferret poured it into his mouth after falling into the stream.

From time to time, he even grabbed the shrimp and threw it into his mouth.

Itachi knew that at this time, he had to replenish the lost energy as soon as possible, and also had to cool down his body temperature.

When exercising, the temperature of one's body rises because under the exercise method, qi and blood promote the rapid operation of various organs of the body at the same time to achieve a relative balance.

Although its temperature is high, the body can adapt to it, discharge it, and adjust it.

But now it has withdrawn from that high-intensity operating state. If such a high temperature is not lowered as soon as possible, it will cause certain damage to the body.

"The Ronin from Douluo"

Looking at the Itachi calming down in the stream and slowly adjusting herself, Artoria stood by the stream and breathed a sigh of relief, "For the first time, your practice is a bit too extreme."

"You almost lost your sanity, and that's a dangerous situation."

"I can't help you as a spirit, and no one else is around. If you lose consciousness, no one can help you."

Feeling the cold stream gradually lowering his temperature, Itachi lay down in the stream and calmly replied, "I know it well."

He now believes that Artoria really had no teaching experience before that.

But itachi is not worried about this.

Although Arturia has no experience in instructing others to practice, she can control this measure well.

My own body, no one knows where the limit is than myself.

The situation just now, although it seems to be a crisis.

But Itachi knew very well that his mind was not chaotic, but extremely calm.

Chapter No.16: [Unreliable Artoria]

A scalding body, a rapidly beating heart, high-speed organs, surging blood...

Itachi, who is in the stream, can still clearly recall the physical state during exercise.

But in such a high-spirited and enthusiastic state, he found that his heart became more and more peaceful.

Even though there were a lot of distracting thoughts at the beginning, when I gradually focused on the slight improvement of my own functions, those distracting thoughts disappeared.

Instead, Itachi entered into an extremely calm posture.

A scorching body, a fiery soul, and a consciousness as silent as ice.

He is very clear about what changes will happen to him after reaching the limit, and also very clear about how long it will take him to reach this stream after reaching the limit, and he is more aware of what in this stream can temporarily make up for his lack.

When everything is considered well, in fact, I am not in danger.

"Sometimes I really wonder why you can always be so calm."

Arturia stared at the ferret in the stream, "I don't seem to have seen any excess emotion on your face... No, once, when you knew that it might be because of yourself, the team died. At that time, you had a helpless reaction."

"But it was only that time. Whether you are facing the enemy or facing death like just now, you will be so calm in the future."

After feeling his body gradually stabilized, Itachi stood up from the stream and replied casually, "I'm just used to seeing things from different angles."

"If it's a bad angle, face a bad situation."

"It's better to find other angles, face the bad situation with a calm mind, and try to solve it."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and felt his current body.

It didn't have the strong sense of fullness as before, but it was soft, and even clenching a fist trembled a little.

Weak, powerless...

It seems that the body that has just reached its limit has now stabilized, but the feeling of fatigue and tension still stays in his body.

If you want to feel the effect of exercise better, you need to recover faster.

Realizing this, Itachi walked slowly, returned to the place just now, took back his clothes and put them on.

Seeing his slow steps, Artoria suddenly seemed to think of something, the hair on the top of her head shook, and said: "I still have several kinds of medicinal materials here, although I don't know the medicinal materials in your world and our world. Does the name match, but you can try to find it."

"The generation of strength is impossible to have for no reason. In the process of exercising, what you consume is the energy of your body."

"And without these precious medicinal materials to make up for the loss of the body, your exercise will soon backfire and cause physical loss."

As she said that, she sent one paragraph after another of messages directly to Itachi's mind.

There are fruits that can increase qi and blood, tree species that increase energy like wild ginseng, meat of precious animals...even some medicines extracted by magicians in their world.

Itachi's original movement of walking forward paused, "Okay..."

Because of the mutual connection between the two, Artoria can hear Itachi's inner voice.So in turn, Itachi can also understand what the other party thinks.

In this case, as long as there is no spiritual conflict between the two, it is completely possible to transmit ideas, memories, and even pictures in the mind.

but……

She had already started to temper herself, and she slowly recalled the possible side effects of this practice method...

Can I really find those things in my memory in this world?

Itachi was skeptical.

Thinking about it, I can only find some precious medicinal materials with approximate medicinal effects to replace them.

Artoria followed Itachi step by step, "Then shall we go home now? Or stop by the medicine shop."

After a pause, she explained, "According to my teacher's guidance, the morning is for strength improvement, and the afternoon is for cultural study."

"Cultural aspects?"

Itachi stopped in his tracks and looked at her in bewilderment.

For the first time, he hesitated about asking Artoria for advice.

So far, I can probably handle the training to improve strength.

But this cultural class...
