This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Then when you really try to start the practice of changing nature, it will be easier.

At least, the road in front of me has illusory steps, not nothing.

Chapter 60:【New Year】

In short, practice still requires time and the accumulation of knowledge and experience, and it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.

So in the following time, Itachi was very patient, and has been steadily learning, accumulating, and precipitating.

He is only five years old, and there is still a long time before he can truly participate in the battlefield and truly become a ninja.

During this period of time, Uchiha Fugaku also kept his promise. After Konoha and Uchiha initially established diplomatic relations, they spared time to stay at home, and did not stay home for a long time because they were on duty.

Everything was so smooth, nothing major happened.

Before he knew it, it had been a year since he returned from the battlefield.

boom boom-

Fireworks like meteors rushed to the sky, and exploded in the sky under the shining starlight. There were a lot of flowers, and with the sound of firecrackers, the Land of Fire ushered in a new year.

In Konoha's 51st year, in spring, late at night, Itachi and Artoria sat in the corridor, admiring the fireworks rising in the sky together.

Looking back on the past year, he lived a very fulfilling life, not only improved in strength, but also learned a lot of information about Uchiha, Konoha, Fire Country..., his behavior and thoughts gradually Mature, with the thinking of an adult.

One year is long, but not very long, but short, many changes have taken place.

A year ago, when I just set foot on the battlefield, I was still confused about the meaning of life. At that time, I looked at the ninjas who were fighting desperately with determination and fear in their eyes, and didn't know why people should survive.

I'm just wondering, is everyone's hard work in practice just to spend those few seconds on the battlefield to prove that you have existed in this world?

But now, Itachi has connected with many people in his life, and gradually understands the meaning of life.

At that time, he also gradually recognized and understood the words Artoria said, such as sense of honor, overall situation, war...etc.

"Happy New Year, Lord Arturia."

Thinking of this, Itachi politely stood up and congratulated Arturia on the New Year, "Thank you very much for your care this year, and hope that in the next year, we can grow together."

"Happy New Year."

Arturia was taken aback for a moment, then got up as well, and greeted him a little unaccustomed, "I'm also looking forward to your performance in the next year."

Britain has no manners or traditions in this regard.

But do as the Romans do, the world is no longer hers, and Great Britain has been destroyed.

Over the course of a year, she also gradually accepted the status quo, and began to slowly integrate into the world with the help of Itachi.

"But today's psychological warfare training, let's suspend it first."

Arturia then suggested, "Perhaps you should rest earlier, didn't your father say that there will be celebrations in the village and clan tomorrow."

"As a celebration that only happens once a year, you should be looking forward to it, right?"

"If we follow the previous specifications, we will probably have the opportunity to meet the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Fourth Hokage."

"Since I came to this world, I have never seen the name of a country."

"Although I understand that strength is not necessarily one of the conditions that a king should have. But I am really curious, as an ordinary person, how he came to power in this ninja world."

Celebration and daimyo?

Itachi nodded and agreed to her proposal, "Then let's suspend today's practice."

In fact, he wasn't expecting any celebration.

Because he doesn't like crowded situations, he has always been very repulsive about this kind of activities.

Rather than going out to participate in the celebration, to see what kind of person the daimyo is from a distance, he would rather continue to practice at home.

Right now, whether it's the Chakra system, the magic power system, or the Sharingan, these knowledges make him a little immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

However, Arturia is rarely interested, and Itachi is willing to accompany her for a walk...

Dingdong——

Early the next morning, Itachi had just finished his breakfast when he heard the doorbell ring.

"Itachi, your friends are here."

Immediately afterwards, mother's gentle voice sounded from the courtyard.

friend?

Itachi didn't have to think about it, he knew who it was.

"It seems... the two of us are not the only ones who went to play together today."

Itachi said in his heart, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, with Yihui's character, he will definitely not miss this excitement."

"And since he wants to go, he will naturally not let Shang Zen and the others go."

"In the end, several of them will come to me together."

While talking to Artoria, he got up and was about to leave the house.

"Weasel..."

But still at the dining table, Fuyue, who was having breakfast, stopped him, "Today's day...is very important..."

His face was a little serious.

"I understand, nothing will happen."

Itachi nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

Coming to the courtyard with Arturia, itachi saw Uchiha Zen and others waving at the door from a distance, while his mother was waiting aside, without opening her mouth to remind herself, she just Leave the guests who come to the door aside.

But what surprised him was that among the few of them, he didn't see Hui.

"Mom, just leave it to me."

Itachi said softly to Mikoto, "I might not come back for lunch at noon."

On a day like today, he would probably come back very late after going out.

"Okay, be careful when you go out."

Meiqin smiled and nodded with Hui and the others, without disturbing them, turned and went back to the room.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Itachi turned serious, and cast his eyes on the few friends in front of him, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Zen and the others also replied solemnly.

When they talk to Itachi, they are always unconsciously influenced by that serious and flat tone, and become tense and serious.

"Hui... did you go on a mission?"

Itachi followed them out and asked, "Or was he imprisoned by his father again."

"Going to perform a mission. I set off the night before yesterday. It seems to be a B-level mission."

Zen replied with a smile, "Originally, he was looking forward to this celebration, and wanted to take this opportunity to introduce his teammates to us."

Rin also interjected, "That guy keeps talking about how good his teammates are, and we want to see them."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Itachi stood among several people, nodded casually, and brought up the matter of Zen again, "When I saw you last time, I heard that your plan was to sign up for the Chunin promotion assessment. What's the result?"

Zen replied: "I have successfully signed up, but the specific assessment will have to wait a month later."

"wish you success."

Itachi blessed him.

Along the way, he asked Rin, Shanchang, and Qi about the current situation.

Since the day they parted, although they occasionally had dinner together, they really didn't have much chance to practice together.

As for...inviting them to be guests at home, Uchiha Zen and others have never achieved it. They seem to be a little afraid of their father.

Every time I call myself outside to have a meal together.

And behind the few of them, a figure followed silently without speaking.

Chapter 61:【Students from the Ten Hospitals】

"Shall we each buy a mask?"

"Itachi, shall we head towards the residential area next?"

"This is delicious."

……

The conversation between Zen and the others kept ringing in my ears, but Itachi's figure slowly moved from the middle of them to the edge area.

It was as if Zen and the others came out to play together, while Itachi was alone.

But Zen and the others have long been used to Itachi's non-integration into the team.

Whenever they bought something, they would pass a copy to Itachi, and they would let Itachi know in advance which direction to go.As for his non-integration into the topic, they were not affected either.

Itachi's character is like this, and they already understood it in their hearts through previous contact.

In the past, when they practiced together and had dinner together, Itachi always stayed quietly aside, or acted alone, seeming to be very alienated from them.

But later, from Itachi's seriousness in training with them, his carefulness in giving them advice, and his "kind language" in encouraging them... They can all feel that Itachi didn't reject them, it's just his personality.

In fact, Itachi is not a "lonely person".

"It is a common custom in the village to have blessing activities such as temples and shrines."

"No matter what the god is, during the New Year period, temples and shrines will be very lively, and everyone will pray for the people they care about, and wish that the next year will be smooth and smooth."

"In addition to these, in terms of entertainment, well-known dramatists and singers from the Land of Fire will come to Konoha Village to stage plays or sing songs."

"As for things like fireworks, they will continue at night these days."

"Of course, some nobles and daimyo from the Land of Fire will also arrive at Konoha for exchanges during the New Year as usual..."

……

In the eyes of outsiders, Itachi walked the street alone with a cold face, out of tune with the lively atmosphere around him.

But what they didn't know was that beside Itachi, there was actually a dignified and heroic beauty who was following him slowly and communicating with him all the time.

Itachi has a way to communicate with other people while communicating with Artoria.

It is not difficult for him to use two purposes at one time.

But in that case, it would appear not so polite, and he himself is used to hiding himself.

Simply, Itachi chose Arturia who was closer to him spiritually.

"You don't seem to have any of these things in your memory."

Listening to Itachi's explanation, Arturia asked with some doubts, "How did you spend your past New Years?"

They read each other's memories, only the first time they met.

During the reading, each other inadvertently read some important memories, but they didn't know much about the trivial things in life.

"These things were mentioned when I heard my parents chatting. You may not have noticed when you read my memory."

"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"

Holding a bunch of three-color meatballs in his hand, Itachi casually replied as he ate, "In the past, I didn't have any idea about the New Year, it's probably just... more lively."

"For another example, last year, I spent the New Year on the battlefield."

In the winter of Konoha's 49th year, he rushed to the battlefield with his father. When he arrived, a war made him welcome the arrival of Konoha's 50th year.

But fortunately, during the 51st New Year, I was able to spend it smoothly with my family in Muye Village.

In contrast to these two, Itachi pays more attention to the word peace.
