This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Uchiha Fugaku is also a member of the logistics team.

This time, he was not on the list for the mission to the front line.

But in order to let Uchiha Itachi experience the war earlier, he decided to follow Uchiha's team to the battlefield and teach children with practice.

Chapter 4: 【Outsider】

"boom!"

"Calm down, everyone!"

"Ahhh...die!"

"Note that the target of the first kill is the enemy's leader!"

"Earth escape? Decapitation in the heart!"

……

The dark forest is full of dangers, the screams after being injured, the metallic sound of Kunai and Shuriken colliding, the explosion sound of the detonating symbol being activated, all kinds of sounds are constantly heard in Uchiha Itachi's ears sounded.

Even his clothes and soles were unconsciously stained with blood during the movement.

Even Itachi is not qualified to take a shot and really participate in the battle.

But just following Fu Yue through the dense forest, blood would splash from all directions from time to time, and even fall directly from the trees like raindrops, wetting his clothes.

This is the first time, Itachi Uchiha is fully involved in the encirclement of the battlefield.

From the family to the front line, in these large and small battles, I was responsible for the cleaning work as a logistics team after the battlefield, so I didn't have the opportunity to experience this atmosphere up close.

And being ambushed this time made him feel a strong sense of crisis!

"call--"

Forcing himself to adjust the rhythm of breathing, Uchiha Itachi closely followed Uchiha Fugaku's figure, shuttling through the dark forest.

From time to time, he could see Fu Yue's figure disappearing before his eyes, but reappearing soon.

And every time, the kunai he held tightly in his hand seemed to be repainted with red paint, and it was dyed bright red.

this is war...

Compared with the past as a logistics, far as a bystander.

Now in the midst of the war, Itachi can better understand and feel the word "war".

Life is passing by, just like inflated balloons, fresh and full.But when the thin needles are pricked gently, the balloon will quickly deflate with a "bang--" and become garbage thrown on the side of the street.

Yes, rubbish.

People are like garbage.

Uchiha Itachi's calm face showed little emotion, leaving from Konoha Village to the border battlefield.

Along the way, he has seen too many Uchiha corpses, and he has also seen the corpses of Iwa Shinobi.But their bodies were randomly thrown on the ground as if they were garbage.

They all lost their voices.

Even just a moment ago they were still fighting with high spirits.But in the next moment, they all lost their voices and became garbage with the same "quality".

no... not right...

People with Uchiha's blood and precious Sharingan should be higher in "quality" than ordinary rock ninja.

Itachi thought so.

He didn't think about making a move, or participating in this battle.

Even in such a critical situation, he can always look at everything calmly and calmly.

At this stage, I simply don't have the strength to participate in such a battle. Seeking the protection of Uchiha Fugaku as my father is the only thing I can do.

As they galloped and moved away, the screams, explosions, and confrontations in their ears became smaller and smaller.

But Itachi seemed to be an outsider, and didn't pay much attention to this battle.

Instead, he paid more attention to following his own thinking.The positioning of life is actually equated with the two words quality.

It was difficult for him to accept this position.

If life is defined by quality, then what kind of quality is your own existence?

What kind of meaning will your own life be defined?

Itachi has never stopped thinking since he came to this battlefield.

But now, in the midst of the battle, his brain's thinking activity has reached the extreme!

"This place should already be out of the scope of the battle circle."

Soon, when the only sound in Itachi's ears was the rustling of footsteps hitting the ground, they were already far away from the ambush circle.

In the secluded dense forest, there are overgrown weeds and trees.

In the darkness, Uchiha Fugaku stopped slowly, observing the surrounding environment.

And when he found a tree hole suitable for hiding, he gradually fell into contemplation.

"Itachi...can you do it by yourself?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Fugaku turned around expressionlessly, staring at his five-year-old child.

When faced with his immature face, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he still insisted on asking, "I may...need to leave for a while."

Let a five-year-old child be alone on the battlefield.Moreover, this child is still his own flesh and blood, which is not an easy task.

If the team in crisis is the team of other families of Konoha, perhaps Uchiha Fugaku would not even consider going back to support.

But now that team is Uchiha's team, and I am Uchiha's patriarch!

Itachi guessed that Fuyue was planning to go back, but he still didn't feel any fear, so he nodded and replied, "I can."

Strictly speaking, he is not a person.

Beside him, there is another person...or a ghost accompanying him.

Although that figure had disappeared, he could feel that the queen named Artoria was standing quietly behind him.

"Don't come out, I will pick you up after cleaning."

After getting Itachi's answer, Uchiha Fugaku no longer hesitated, pointing to the tree hole and beckoning Itachi to get in.

Before leaving, cleared the traces of their movement nearby.

Soon, with the rustling sound of him leaving, Uchiha Itachi, who was curled up in the tree hole, lost other sounds in his ears.

Dark and quiet.

Being alone in this kind of place, Itachi could feel his five senses being continuously expanded.

Especially... hearing!

In the darkness, Itachi can inexplicably sense something around him, is it a bug?Or is it... people?

But this unknown did not make him fear or panic.

On the contrary, the quiet darkness made me intoxicated and deeply immersed in it.

Here, I can quietly think about my questions without being disturbed by anyone.

"Are you still there? King."

Itachi called out politely in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, if someone comes, I will remind you."

Artoria revealed a thin figure from her hidden state, stood outside the tree hole, and spoke softly.

Her voice was as calm and calm as ever.

Besides these, Itachi also felt an inexplicable tenderness this time.

"Wang, can we continue the topic we haven't finished talking about before?"

But beyond Artoria's idea, in her eyes.Itachi, who was only five years old, curled up in the shadow of the tree hole, looked at her calmly, "Are you still keen on the flames of war?"

Whether it was the expression on his face or the tone of his speech, there was no thought of fear at all.

Those dark eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, almost without any emotional fluctuations.

Is this the psychological quality a child should possess?

The moonlight swayed on Arturia's snowy skin, and a hint of puzzlement flashed in her emerald green eyes. She stared at Itachi, "Now, you are in such a dangerous situation, and you are still thinking about it. These?"

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Are the answers to these questions more important to you than thinking about how to live?"

Chapter 5: [Life has no meaning]

Am I not afraid of death?

Regarding Arturia's question, Uchiha Itachi's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and then dimmed a little.

Speaking of it, I have been thinking about the meaning of life, but I have never thought about the meaning of death.

Is there a possibility that those people were actually happy at the moment of dying?

Although they seem to be infatuated with this world on the surface, are they actually relieved in their hearts?

Thinking of this, Itachi felt that maybe he should find a slow but real way to try to die.

Perhaps... jumping off a cliff is a good choice.

Jumping off a high cliff, feeling the slight buoyancy of the breeze blowing on the body.

Because the heavy body has no way to rise with the weak buoyancy, it continues to face straight down.

In the process of falling, calmly realize the so-called death.

"I always feel that this child seems to have been thinking about problems that are not what he should think about at his age."

Arturia thought in her heart, looking at the silent Itachi with pity.

Even if she, the incarnation of the red dragon, was alone in such a dangerous place when she was young, she would never be able to be as calm as the child in front of her.

What kind of experience is it that can make a child grow into the current situation?

Ninja, Uchiha, cultivation, family glory...

When Arturia recalls Itachi's memory, all that comes to mind is learning the survival knowledge of ninjas, exercising her body, refining chakra...

Suddenly, she realized something.

Cultivation is indeed a matter of course in my own cognition.

But I have overlooked a very important point, that is, the person in front of me is just a child!

Aware of this fact, Artoria felt a little sad in her heart.

Itachi was only five years old, but why did he only have these things in his short memory?

What about the joys that a child should have?

After a moment of silence, Arturia sat down slowly on the ground, and asked warmly: "Itachi, can you tell me why you want to ask these questions?"

Even though she was sitting in a messy pile of weeds, she still had a habit called "etiquette" in her gestures.

Its waist is even more straight like a sharp sword, never bent.

Regarding her rhetorical question again, Uchiha Itachi was expressionless, thinking about how to respond in his heart.

"Actually, you don't have to hide it from me."

Arturia sat upright, with her palms overlapping on her lap, she shook her head slightly, "You should know that we shared each other's memories at the moment you were unconscious."

"And this also means that you don't have any secrets in front of me for the time being."

"Including your restraint all the time, restraint on emotions, restraint on words, restraint on expressions."

From the moment the child in front of him was born, apart from his parents, there was only cold ninja teaching in his life.

Uchiha Fugaku's guidance since he can remember is only survival and fighting!
