This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

cut!

Itachi's body jumped up suddenly, and his body functions were raised again. His body surface was already covered with a layer of faint pink, and the blood in his body was surging, like a huge high-speed oven making a dull buzzing sound. From a distance, he swung the iron sword in his hand, galloping like Kunai, and stabbed fiercely at Zen Uchiha who was about to form a seal!

boom!

The iron sword undoubtedly penetrated Zen Uchiha's body and was nailed to the rock!

Immediately afterwards, Zen's body dissipated into smoke without any accident.

This is still a shadow clone!

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

At this time, Uchiha Zen, who was quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait in the dark like a hunter, flashed a moment of hesitation.But he still resolutely used the evasion technique he is most familiar with in Jieyin!

A huge fireball flew out from the darkness of the forest, and blasted towards the Itachi who fell to the ground and was about to draw out his iron sword.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

As if anticipating the possible attack early in the morning, Itachi formed seals with both hands, and also used the same escapism.

But his fireball easily swallowed the fireball spit out by Zen, and rushed towards the pale-faced Uchiha Zen without any hesitation.

"careful!"

Hui and the others who rushed over had only time to shout out.

But soon, they found that Itachi's fire escape technique stopped in front of Hui.

The fireball turned into sparks, and while it slowly dissipated, it only made Uchiha Zen's body a little hot.

"you lose……"

Itachi's iron sword passed straight through the sparks and stopped in front of Uchiha Zen.

"I lost……"

Zen Uchiha replied in admiration, "The moment you swung your knife at my shadow clone mercilessly, I knew I had lost. Unless I continue to hide and waste time hiding in the dark."

His hesitation in using the fire escape technique was not because he was afraid that his technique would hurt Itachi.

It was because he found that Itachi didn't hesitate or hold back when he launched an offensive with the bait he released.

This is not in line with the kind of "hands-off" that Itachi showed when he confronted Rin just now.

Obviously, he has seen through his tactics, but Zen has no choice but to put all his hopes on the fire escape technique.

And the result...

Zen sat paralyzed on the ground, looked at Uchiha Itachi who took back the iron sword and asked, "How long have you learned the fire escape technique?"

His eyes are complicated.

Perhaps Hui is right, Uchiha Itachi will really become the future hope of the Uchiha clan.

"It doesn't make sense for you to ask these things."

Itachi saw what he was thinking, shook his head and refused to answer, and then replied: "Unreasonable comparisons will not make you stronger, you should look for a more suitable opponent, an opponent who can inspire each other with you."

Having said this, he stretched out his palm and placed it in front of Zen, "Do you still have the strength to stand up?"

"No problem at all."

Zen took his palm and stood up under his tug.

Looking at Itachi's calm face, Zen didn't feel ashamed at losing to a child.

Instead, he was convinced by Itachi who easily won the competition, but remained humble and maintained his demeanor.

Itachi nodded politely at him, then turned to look at the others, "Then the next opponent is..."

With that said, his eyes fell on Uchiha Qi.

"No more fights, no more fights."

Uchiha Qi waved his hand, "Zen is stronger than us. Since you can win him, it will definitely not be difficult to win us."

Next to him, Yoshinaga Uchiha also nodded, agreeing with Qi's statement.

"Surrender without a fight?"

Itachi didn't intend to give up, and looked at them calmly, "What I wish...is to have a sparring session with each of you."

"The result is not important. What I value is our mutual improvement and understanding in the process."

Chapter 46:【Convinced】

Surrender without a fight?

There was no sarcasm in Itachi's tone, but the simple four words undoubtedly aroused the fighting spirit of Uchiha Chi and the others.

But soon, their fighting spirit was extinguished by Itachi's next words.

The point is not the result, but the improvement and understanding of each other in the process?

This sentence sounds very ordinary, but whether it is Uchiha Chi and Uchiha Yoshicho who have not yet fought, or Uchiha Zen and others who have already fought, they are all a little stunned by these words.

If other Uchihas said these words, they might feel that they were boasting and contrived.

But these words came out of Itachi's mouth, coupled with that flat face from the beginning to the end, they felt very sincere.

People of the Uchiha clan generally have a bit of arrogance in character.Especially the clansmen who have become ninjas and those who have awakened Sharingan, their arrogance will become more arrogant as their strength increases.

Even when friends talk, they occasionally ridicule each other, and compare each other's strengths, tasks to perform, etc...

Uchiha himself is aware of these things.But it's like a family tradition, and in this way they inspire each other to grow as quickly as possible.

But Itachi easily defeated these ninjas at the age of five, without any arrogance at all.

He's humble and polite...

"Itachi, do you usually practice alone?"

Late at night, Itachi accompanied Uchiha Teru and others to have a supper together after a brief treatment at Konoha Hospital.

On the way, Zen Uchiha asked Itachi curiously, "Because my father is also a member of the Konoha Guard, so I have heard him mention it."

"In order to be on duty, the patriarch often lives in the Konoha Guard and does not go home."

Itachi nodded, "Well, father's work is very busy."

He didn't explain in detail, but just replied casually.

"Eh?"

Rin Uchiha, with bandages wrapped around his arms, looked at Itachi in surprise, "So... Itachi, did you grope yourself and become so strong?"

Itachi thought for a moment, "Although my father doesn't have time to teach me, there are quite a few books and scrolls at home."

"That's still self-taught."

Several people looked at Itachi with some admiration.

Each of them had a brief duel with Itachi just now, and the result was...

Older and successfully graduated from the ninja school, they were easily knocked down by Itachi.

Even from the beginning to the end, they had no chance to launch an effective offensive against Itachi.

And that also includes Uchiha Teru.

Originally, he didn't want to fight, but under Itachi's gaze, he had to bite the bullet and play, becoming the one with the most complicated injuries among them.

His injuries were all over his face.

Compared with Rin Uchiha, who had a broken hand, Hui's cheeks looked bruised and swollen even after healed.

"However, there is something I would like to ask for your help."

Having said that, Itachi stopped and looked at them solemnly.

Uchiha Zen and others also stopped.

"Don't, don't, if you want to ask us for help, just ask."

Among them, Uchiha Teru waved his hand, "As long as we can help, we will do our best."

The others nodded and agreed with Hui's statement.

Anyway, after going through these few sparring sessions, they were very impressed by Itachi's strength and talent.

In Uchiha, the strong are always easy to be respected, not to mention Itachi's performance has always been so...gentle and elegant, every word and deed makes them feel like a spring breeze.

Even the usual relatively harsh and ironic words.Now in front of Itachi, they were a little speechless.

Itachi looked at them calmly, "I hope everyone can help me keep a secret, and don't make too much publicity about my strength."

Keep it a secret?

"why?"

Uchiha Teru was the first to ask, "Don't you want to show your strength in the clan and be respected?"

He was a little puzzled.

And so are the others.

If there is Itachi's strength, they can't wait to set up a ring in Uchiha and challenge the heroes of the same generation in the clan with great fanfare.

After all, in Uchiha, only strength can be respected, and only strength can win status.

"Strength is not the only reason for gaining the respect of others, it is just one of the conditions."

Itachi thought for a moment, "In short, I hope you can help me keep a secret, or... this can also become an agreement between us."

"If you beat me someday in the practice of sparring, then you don't have to help me keep the secret."

"Conversely, if you have been unable to defeat me, then please help me keep this secret before I am unwilling to show myself."

Although he seldom has deep friendship with the people in the clan, he is still very aware of some ethos in the clan.

Therefore, Itachi didn't choose to ask them to help keep the secret from the beginning, but waited until he overwhelmed them with strength before speaking.

As for Itachi's request, although Uchiha Zen and others couldn't understand it, they still chose to agree.

After all...they lost to Itachi.

"Wait... so that means, can we still practice with you in the future?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Rin caught some key points in his words.

"certainly……"

Itachi nodded, "Everyone has a lot of experience, and I have seen many different tactics."

"If we can do more duels with everyone, we can both improve each other."

"Since that's the case, why should I refuse?"

He didn't want to expose his strength, so there were fewer and fewer candidates to fight against.

Except Uchiha Teru, these people who know their own strength are the best sparring partners.

"Then tomorrow..."

Uchiha Zen looked at him hesitantly.

"Tomorrow I will practice in the forest outside Konoha. You can come with Hui for the specific location."

Itachi replied casually.

While talking, they had come to the junction of Konoha's outer and inner circles.

This food street is so lively no matter it is day or night.

Randomly looking for a ramen restaurant, Uchiha Zen waved his hand, indicating that he is treating guests today.

Immediately afterwards, the group of them ate until the early hours of the morning before rushing back to the tribe.

Separated, they went home separately.

On the way home, Uchiha Zen and others felt a little complicated.

In just one night, Itachi no longer looked like a child in their eyes.

On the contrary, his mature posture and tone made them have a kind of solemnity and seriousness when talking with him when they were facing their elders.
