This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

But if the next Fourth Hokage is really willing to think on the side of Uchiha, then maybe...the relationship between the family and Konoha can really be eased.

"Don't worry, father, I will take care of myself and my family during this time."

Itachi calmly made a promise.

Since father really has important things to accomplish, he should assist.

This was the first time he had such a heart-to-heart relationship with his father, but it allowed him to overthrow the stereotype of his father in the past.

Chapter 33: 【Gradually Open Heart】

At night, in a dimly lit room, Itachi slowly walked into the house with a bunch of scrolls in his arms.

For a whole day, under the guidance of his father, he learned how to use ninjutsu.

However, it is not so much a guide as a "show".

For almost a day, Uchiha Fugaku was using different fire escape techniques.

From the technique of Hao Fireball, to the technique of Phoenix Immortal Fire, followed by Haolong Fire...

Of course, in addition to the fire escape technique, Fu Yue also did not forget to teach some basic techniques, such as the transformation technique, the double body technique, the clone technique, and the advanced version of the shadow clone technique and the instant body technique...

The reason why the progress is so fast is because Fu Yue's affairs are as he said, very busy.

Today's rest is because he asked for leave.

As the patriarch, although no one can interfere with Fu Yue's holiday, he does not allow himself to neglect his duties.

All he can do is use this day off to help his son officially embark on the road of ninja.

"Congratulations, Itachi."

Arturia in blue and white armor slowly appeared in the room, "From today onwards, you can be considered a real ninja."

With a rare joy on her face, it was very novel for her to formally contact the cultivation system of another world.

While stuffing the scrolls in his hands into the bookcase according to the level of the spell, Itachi stared at her for a long time before nodding in a daze, "Hmm..."

"What's the matter? She looks absent-minded."

Artoria looked at him suspiciously.

Shouldn't learning ninjutsu be a joyful thing?

Itachi didn't reply right away, but after putting down the scroll, he solemnly stood up and bowed to her to thank her.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again this time, Your Excellency Arturia, thank you very much."

His tone was serious.

Artoria hesitated for a moment, "This is... what's wrong?"

"Without you, I might have always misunderstood my father as an irresponsible person for the family, let alone the things and pressures he faced."

Itachi explained earnestly, he rarely showed real emotion in his demeanor, "I was too arrogant in the past, thinking that if I knew a person well enough, I could understand his behavior and habits without asking."

"But now I'm wrong. Maybe...communication is the most correct way. Unreasonable speculation is meaningless."

"I can't fully understand a person, let alone talk to myself instead of him."

Although today's learning tasks are very cumbersome, I have been observing and analyzing the use of various spells.

But at the same time, Itachi felt more guilty towards his father in his heart.

He couldn't imagine how he would have misunderstood him without Artoria, without these attempts and communication facilitated by her.

Maybe... I will regard him as someone who is not responsible for the family and only obsessed with power.

Because I don't know what the pressure he is facing at all, and I don't know that he hopes that the Uchiha clan can settle down more than power.

And as time goes by, maybe I will go further and further away from my father.

Unable to reach a consensus, unable to stop and communicate, the gap between each other is getting wider and wider, until finally trust is lost.

"In that case, I accept your thanks."

Hearing Itachi's explanation, Arturia nodded with a smile.

But soon, she went on to say: "But I want to remind you that not everyone can communicate."

"Only with people you really trust, can you solve some problems through communication."

"And if you are facing your enemy, it is not a wrong choice to try to figure out and simulate his thinking in detail."

"I understand."

Itachi replied that he is not a fool either, communication has achieved effective results with his father, and it is impossible to apply it to everyone.

Compared with others, I learned to communicate first, and then learned to hide. I just reversed the process, that's all.

"But as the patriarch, your father is very competent."

But soon, Artoria talked about today's events again, "He already has a certain overall view, but he may be more hesitant and emotional in making some decisions."

"If I hadn't been following you all the time, I would have had the opportunity to see your father's life in the family."

"I can't imagine that he, who looks so rigid and serious, can be an emotional person."

Having said that, she turned her attention to Itachi again.

In fact, Itachi is the same. If she hadn't been by his side all the time, Artoria couldn't have imagined that a five-year-old child could have so many thoughts in her heart.

"No matter what, I am more determined to practice hard."

Itachi looked firmly at the scrolls piled high on the bookshelf.

The situation in the family is not stable, perhaps because of this, the father hopes to grow up as soon as possible.

I hope to protect this family well, my mother hopes that I will become stronger so that she can rest assured, and my father hopes that I can meet the standard to succeed him as soon as possible.

Even so, you have to work hard.

"The next practice plan is more about actual combat."

"Train your body in the morning, familiarize yourself with ninjutsu in the afternoon, and in the evening... just read these scrolls. As for the original cultural lessons, you can study them in your dreams."

"If it is directly in the dream, we can also omit a lot of preparations, and we can directly use illusion to construct scenes and items."

Itachi suggested.

"But in this case... your spirit will not be able to bear it."

Arturia did not agree with this proposal, and made a correction, "You have already made a simple attempt to learn in a dream."

"Although the body can get a good rest, the spirit is always active."

"Well, keep the most basic four hours of sleep every day, and try for a while."

As she taught Itachi for longer and longer, she gradually became like a teacher, and she no longer copied her own practice plan like before.

"By the way, it will take some time to spare a day or half a day to be with my mother."

Itachi remembered one more thing.

Although the mother said that she hoped that she could practice well, she didn't reject her company too much, but she didn't want her to take away her daily chores.

"And then... Uchiha Teru."

"That guy is a chatterbox. He knows that I have begun to have the strength to endure, so it is inevitable that he will spread the word."

"You have to seal his mouth before he reacts. Otherwise, you may not be able to hide the fact that you promised your father to hide your talent."

Itachi chatted with Artoria about what he planned to do in the next period of time.

What he didn't know was that in the process, Artoria's usually calm eyes gradually softened.

Finally... I am willing to talk to myself more.

Chapter 34:【Know what is impossible but do it】

"Dressing well is an extremely important part of being nice to people."

"External image etiquette determines a person's first impression."

"According to different occasions and purposes, different degrees of dressing will help you achieve what you want..."

In the resplendent palace, Artoria is sitting on the throne.

At this time, she was wearing a golden crown on her head, a snow-white fluffy cloak on her shoulders, a blue and white tight leather jacket, and silver boots on her feet.

Below, countless kneeling knights paid their highest respect to their king.As for this, Artoria's eyes on the throne were always calm, and she didn't feel agitated inside, showing her emotions on the outside.

Compared with her who likes to be in a daze in the real world, in the dream world, she perfectly showed her status in Britain and returned to the period when she was King Arthur.

"Britain and Rome are hostile relations."

Artoria looked at Itachi Uchiha standing beside her, "Next, I will meet with envoys from Rome to discuss the truce agreement between the two countries."

"Under the current scene, do you think my clothes are appropriate?"

"Is it possible to give the Roman envoys who came from afar a disarm and make Rome accept our truce conditions?"

Itachi observed her clothes carefully, and then looked at the kneeling knights below.

After thinking for a moment, he replied: "According to the situation in memory, although Britain is under your leadership, it has defeated Rome many times."

"But Britain cannot continue the war for long because of the famine."

"The truce is an urgent fact for Britain. The people need to rest, and the army also needs to be repaired."

"But the situation in Britain is very bad. There are intrusions from various countries including Rome, and there are still many people with ulterior motives who want to get you out of power."

"Famine, exhaustion, all kinds of internal problems can't be hidden. Britain is like a sieve for water, full of holes."

"So no matter what the outcome of your interview is, Rome will not stop its crusade against Britain."

Arturia, who was expecting his answer, froze, "My question is...under such circumstances, is my attire suitable for meeting Roman envoys?"

"I should follow the current outfit, show my calmness, and further confuse the Roman envoys."

"It's better to put on the battle armor and tell the other party with a fierce and domineering attitude, Britain's attitude."

"Or...do you have other ideas?"

Itachi pondered for a moment, "But such a question is meaningless. Your purpose is to hope for a truce. But Rome cannot miss this opportunity to stop the flames of war."

"No matter what you wear to the occasion, the end result won't change."

"From your memory, you already knew this fact a week before meeting the envoy this time."

Ugh……

Arturia sighed in her heart, sorted out the thoughts in her mind, and explained: "There is a fact called authority obsession. I am in a situation, even if I can see clearly, I can't help but want to try."

"Besides, a truce is what all the people of Britain, under the circumstances, desire."

"Even as king, I am well aware of the fact that there is no truce between Britain and Rome, but I still have to do my best to fight for it."

"Because the people's prayer is a truce, and I can't explain to everyone why Rome's truce is impossible. Because I can't announce military secrets and the status of the kingdom to the public."

"So I have to express this attitude of fighting for a truce, to let the people of Britain know that their king also does not want the war to continue, and he does not want them to continue to suffer from the war."

"Even if this matter is not achieved in the end, I must consider it from the perspective of the majority instead of running counter to the ideas of the masses."

Do you know it can't be done...

Itachi clearly wrote down every sentence, analyzed it in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion.

The fact is as Artoria said, knowing that this matter is impossible, but she must fight for it with all her strength.

"Been taught a lesson……"

Itachi bowed respectfully to Arturia to express his gratitude.

She taught herself something again.

"Itachi, time is running out, this problem you are entangled with ends here."

Arturia rubbed her brows in distress, "The content of our cultural courses today is not tactical guidance, nor economic theory, nor is it a theory of state governance."

"Our content today is etiquette, how to better highlight your personal self-cultivation and tolerance through dressing, so as to achieve what you want to accomplish more easily."

"Such as negotiating, trading, socializing...everything."
