This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

The kind born holding a shuriken in the womb!

And in the next few hours, Uchiha Teru deeply felt the gap between the so-called genius and monster.

The pair of Ergouyu Sharingans awakened from the battlefield did not give him any confidence, and the sense of superiority that he had successfully landed from the arduous practice did not give him any security, even his own, who was far more than the other party's seven-year-old Age doesn't matter at all!

"You... aren't you tired?"

While panting heavily, Uchiha Teru leaned against the tree while leaning on his back, looking at Itachi Uchiha not far away, who was always holding a pair of hands and straightening his back, "Your chakra...should not be that much. Is it huge?"

For several hours in a row, he went from throwing hidden weapons, to illusion and confusion, to physical attacks...

No matter what method Uchiha Teru uses, the other party has achieved a watertight response.

Even in terms of physical skills, if he hadn't opened the Ergouyu Sharingan himself, he had a detailed insight into Itachi's movements and tried to reproduce them.Otherwise, it would be difficult to resist his strange strength and sharp offensive.

To be honest, this is the first time Uchiha Teru has encountered such a difficult opponent.

Under normal circumstances, ninjas like to pay attention to one-hit kills, and the common combat rhythm is high-intensity, short-term assassination work. Often the outcome is decided within a few seconds, either kill or be killed.

And it is indeed relatively rare to have such a continuous attrition battle for several hours.

"As long as the control is detailed enough, the degree of consumption can be reduced."

Itachi calmly replied, taking advantage of this opportunity for the other party to take a breather, he took a rest and adjusted his body.

In fact, his physical condition at this time is far from being as understated as what Uchiha Teru saw.

Although, that special physical training method comprehensively improved his abilities in many ways.

From the strength of the body, the flexibility of the limbs, to the control of the energy in the body, including patience, willpower...

But after all, he is only a five-year-old child, and his body is in the stage of development.Just more than half a month of physical training is not enough to crush the already developed Uchiha Teru.

But now, Uchiha Itachi is still so calm, completely pretending.

If the other party persisted for a few minutes, he probably couldn't stabilize himself.

"Let's stop here today. I feel that fighting against you regardless of the outcome for several hours is more tiring than fighting with my father for a day and losing dozens of times!"

Uchiha Teru sighed and announced the end of this training.

And at this moment, Itachi put down his hands that had been held flat all the time, and retracted the iron sword into the scabbard.

At this time, the clothes on the two of them were already in tatters.

The opening cut by kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools revealed a body full of wounds, blood, and bruises, and there were even some scars on the vital parts, such as the neck, head, and heart...

Although Itachi and Hui kept their hands on each other, even if it was training between ninjas, it was inevitable that they would actually hurt each other.

Their only guarantee is that the other party will not die, but there is no guarantee that the other party will be injured or disabled.

Unless it is two people with a big gap in strength for actual combat training.Otherwise, there is a certain probability of being disabled in actual combat training.

"Itachi, can I come to your house for lunch at noon?"

Stopping training, Uchiha Teru shook his arms, walked slowly and approached, his face was full of excitement, "Auntie Mikoto's cooking was delicious last time, it's completely different from my dad's cooking." This way, I..."

His words were still echoing in his ears, slow and subtle.

Ding--

The next moment, a crisp metallic sound sounded.

Itachi instinctively held up the kunai, blocking the kunai piercing in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he instinctively punched out again, hitting Teru Uchiha's stomach.

boom--

Teru Uchiha flew out, stuck to the body of a big tree like a broken rag, and then slowly slid down.

"hiss--"

He gasped in pain, "You still have so much strength?!"

This strength is no different from the beginning of the battle.

Shouldn't the functions of the body gradually decline as the battle wears off?

Did the monster come in the opposite direction?

The more you fight, the more excited you become, and the more you fight, the more powerful you become?

"No, no, no, I admit defeat."

Seeing Itachi approached again in the blink of an eye, pulling out the iron sword expressionlessly and about to cut it off, Teru Uchiha hurriedly surrendered.

How is this played?

After a few hours, my body functions continued to decline, and it was like not losing blood if the opponent kept at full strength. How could I fight this?

Itachi didn't cut it off, but he didn't stop either, just staring at him with the iron sword held high.

"I really admit defeat, this time I really admit defeat."

Uchiha Hui raised his hands and assured, "I really have no strength, you should have seen it, I just stabbed Kunai softly, and I don't have much strength."

Admitting your failure is not easy.

Especially in the face of a child so many years younger than himself.

Damn, if this matter gets out, I should be laughed to death by others, right?

Father will definitely lock himself up for a long time again.

Hui felt very annoyed, determined that next time he had the opportunity to train together, he must strike first, and stop underestimating this brat in front of him and being dragged into a war of attrition by him.

And Itachi hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the iron sword.

Indeed, Uchiha Teru's strength and speed are declining with the rhythm of the battle, and the speed of decline is very fast.

If he hadn't deliberately pretended to preserve his strength, he would have no strength to continue fighting now.

So... have you defeated a ninja?Before going to the ninja school to study.

But you can't underestimate others because of this, after all Uchiha Teru has almost never used ninjutsu.

Perhaps ninjutsu is his specialty.

And Artoria said, respect your opponent.

Thinking of this, Itachi stretched out his right hand towards Teru Uchiha, "You are very good, can I still train with you tomorrow?"

His tone was very polite.

Sitting slumped under the big tree, Uchiha Teru, who was still annoyed that he lost to a child, stared blankly at the right hand in front of him.

He moved his gaze from Itachi's right hand to his face.

In the past, for this face, Hui Cong realized that now it is an expression, calm and unpredictable.

But now, he actually saw some other emotions from this face, such as... recognition?respect?

Chapter 24:【Lonely】

At night, Itachi listened to Artoria's post-war summary while soaking in a bathtub soaked in various medicinal herbs.

"You performed very well in today's actual combat competition."

"Whether it is the grasp of the battle situation, the response, or the ending, they are all perfect. Even if I use your body and the power you have at this stage, I may not be able to perform better than you."

"But in this, there are still some small flaws."

"For example, your fighting style is a bit too upright."

"If it wasn't for your fast enough reaction speed, you would have already lost in Uchiha Teru's little calculation, and..."

……

Although it was across the room, Itachi could easily talk to Artoria through his heart.

Is it too straight?

Itachi also realized this.

However, he was a little surprised that Artoria would actually evaluate this point of himself as a flaw.

"I thought you'd praise me for my integrity in combat."

Itachi thought of it, and couldn't help but bring it up.

After all, the Arturia he saw in his memory was a queen who paid great attention to glory.

Since she wants to train herself to become a new king who is better than her, then... she shouldn't agree with her to learn those dirty tricks.

Facing this sentence, Arturia was a little silent.

It took a long time before her voice came back, "The integrity, humility, honesty, and justice I promote... Maybe they are not suitable for your world."

"Besides, I have also betrayed what I think is the spirit of chivalry, for the sake of my own country."

"Itachi, before becoming a king, I suggest that you first have the ability to live. And this integrity is likely to cause you to lose and be killed in a future battle."

Did she actually...temporarily give up something she had always been firm about?

Itachi was surprised.

Arturia has always been based on chivalry, building a perfect utopia without disputes.

But now, she is actually persuading herself to give up this spirit.

"I accept your suggestion."

Itachi replied calmly.

He originally did not intend to implement the so-called chivalry spirit, which is a bit too idealistic.

For Artoria, who lived in that era and was exposed to this spirit since she was a child, she might yearn for chivalry.

But for myself who has faced war since childhood, it is really hard to imagine that the enemy will "fairly" confront him.

Asking Artoria to guide him, he just intends to let himself learn as much as possible before he understands what he wants to do.

Whether it's a ninja, a knight, or a king.

Next, itachi listened silently to Artoria's ideas for improving her own battle, and wrote down the content.But how to implement it, he needs to judge for himself.

While discussing, Itachi got up from the tub.

Wrap yourself in a towel and dry yourself off.

At this time, some of the wounds on Itachi's body from today's battle had already healed quickly, and some bruises even disappeared immediately.

His body, which had been limp from a day's training, gradually regained its strength, and the pitch-black potion in the tub had become transparent.

His body absorbed the medicinal effects of these medicated baths very well.In addition to this kind of medicine for external use, there are also liquid medicines and food for internal use...

These are the basis for Itachi to complete all the training in such a short period of time.

"Speaking of... have you fallen into illusion many times during the battle?"

But soon, Arturia came up with another idea.

Although he knew Artoria couldn't see, Itachi still nodded unconsciously, "Yes, nine times in total."

But after a pause, he quickly came to his senses and understood what she meant by asking this question, "You mean...with you around, I can be immune to illusions?"

"Yes, in today's battle, I saw you fall into illusion many times, but I was not affected by it."

Artoria replied, "I thought that if I could directly transmit the vision I saw to your brain through the way of telepathic communication...you can completely be immune to most illusions."

This is a little bit of beauty she discovered in the battle.

In a sense, Itachi is equivalent to having another pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that no one can see within a range of 400 meters.

"In actual combat tomorrow, we can try and see."

Itachi casually replied that the methods of being able to transmit thoughts and vision through the mind were something they found out after returning from the battlefield.

In fact, it is difficult to say whether it is feasible in battle and whether it is too late.

At the end of the discussion, Arturia didn't speak again, and Itachi didn't make a sound.

After getting dressed and leaving the bathroom, Itachi first had dinner with his parents in the cafeteria, and then according to the feeling of Artoria in his heart, he came to the corridor in front of his room and saw her.

Under the light of the moon, Arturia was sitting in the aisle alone, looking at the starry sky in the distance, her faint phantom seemed to disappear at any moment.
