This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"It turns out that most of the fireworks supply this time were provided by the Shiyuan family? Thank you very much for allowing us to see a perfect fireworks show."

"I like to stand on a high place and look at the brightly lit city below, which makes me feel that all the hard work is worth it."

"Etiquette is of course necessary. The gap between humans and animals lies in the fact that humans understand etiquette and know how to use tools."

"Uchiha is a member of Konoha, this is what my mother questioned."

"The basis of peace is balance, and the basis of balance is equal combat power..."

……

After having dinner together in Chunyu Tower, Itachi took Sakamoto Yusheng and others to watch the fireworks display together, and even went to Luna Shrine to pray for his family.

But throughout the process, their focus is more on dialogue than playing.

As Cang Tianshan said, compared to the bustling and bustling main economic area, Konoha, as the strategic military area of ​​the Fire Nation, is completely inferior to Kyoto even if it spends a lot of money to stir up an entertainment atmosphere.

Therefore, Sakamoto Yusheng and others did not pay attention to playing, but preferred to talk with Itachi.

From economy to entertainment culture, geography, ninja world situation and even the relatively sensitive relationship between Konoha and Uchiha...

Itachi calmly grasped the rhythm of the conversation, showing off his rich knowledge.

Although in his occasional conversations, there are always some knights, kingdoms... and other words and knowledge that are not commonly used in the land of fire.

But it is precisely because of this knowledge that Sakamoto Yusheng and others think Itachi is a person who can find the golden house in the book.

It may be limited by age, and I have never seen such a vast world.But from the words, he already has romantic, rich and noble feelings, knowledge and thoughts.

The world seen in those eyes is beautiful, as if it has its own artistic rendering.

The world revealed in those words is civilized, modest, and ideal, as if he has really seen an ideal land where there is no war, no intrusion, only elegant and easy-going conversation, and people are all polite and sages.

But that's just a six year old.

When it was getting late at night, when Uchiha Itachi and others bid farewell to Sakamoto Yusheng and others, these nobles from Kyoto looked at the "child" in front of them with complicated eyes, and they almost regarded the "child" in front of them as Confidant.

No, Itachi shouldn't be called a child anymore.

If the ferrets are all children, then these thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers are probably in the stage of newborn babies.

"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"

During the whole process, itachi could easily pick up any topic they raised, and had a great time talking with them.

At the beginning, the few people were a little flat about Itachi's ability to keep up with the topic.But when they talked deeply about music, culture, economy...

When Itachi was able to keep up with all kinds of things calmly, their attitudes changed a bit.

And until now, when they were about to say goodbye, they were even a little bit reluctant!

Yes, sorry!

Exchanged with a ninja on economic, cultural, and balance framework issues, and they actually had thoughts of reluctance!

"Itachi, this is the document for entering the inner city of Kyoto Prefecture. If you can come to Kyoto City, you must come to me."

When parting, Sakamoto Yusheng looked at Itachi solemnly, and handed over a scroll, "There are some things that you may not see in Konoha Village."

"But in Kyoto City, you can see the "real life". The prosperity and stability you yearn for can be realized in Kyoto City! "

"Compared to ninjas who focus on fighting, you are very different. I think you should learn more about...the real world!"

Although the time of contact is very short, he thinks that Itachi can have such a wealth of knowledge at this age, presumably because he has given up a lot of time for practice.

He is different from other ninjas, and he can better understand the thoughts of "ordinary people" like them.

"must!"

Itachi took the scroll with both hands, and replied solemnly.

Then, he stretched out his palm again, "I am looking forward to going to Kyoto Prefecture and seeing the most prosperous city in the ninja world with my own eyes."

Sakamoto Yusheng was taken aback for Itachi's outstretched palm.

Afterwards, he also extended his palm with a smile and squeezed it tightly, "I'm looking forward to it."

After the fireworks display in the evening, the night was already very deep, and they didn't have too many pleasantries.

After waving goodbye to them respectively, Itachi sent Sakamoto Yusheng and others away.

Looking at their backs, the calmness on his face has not changed from the beginning to the end, and only one person knows what is hidden in those dark eyes.

"Weasel..."

When he turned his head, Itachi saw Uchiha Zen and others looking at him with complicated expressions.

Except for the initial quarrel, they hardly said a word afterward, because there was no way to get in.

When Sakamoto Yusheng and the others talked to themselves, almost none of them were related to combat. Even if it involved military aspects, they mentioned very little, and more of them were related to "balance" and "peace". The vocabulary of ...

Regarding these, during the growth of Uchiha Zen and others, few people should have instilled this knowledge for them.

The life of a ninja is practice, and the job of a ninja is to perform tasks, nothing more.

If I hadn't met Arturia and expanded my horizons and horizons, it would be the same.

"Let's go back……"

Itachi said calmly.

"Um……"

Zen and the others nodded, subconsciously obeying Itachi's words.

Although, before, because of their strength, most of the time they often focused on Itachi's ideas.

But this time, after witnessing the communication between Itachi and these not ninjas, but ordinary people.

Some changes have taken place in their hearts towards Itachi, which is different from before.

But they couldn't tell what was different about it.

Under the night, Itachi and his party slowly walked towards the clan.

In the eyes of others, Itachi walked ahead alone, and Uchiha Zen and others followed behind, like his guards.

But in fact, there is always someone by my side who will accompany me the whole time, and in the conversation with Sakamoto Yusheng and others today, I also raised a few points to help me maintain the atmosphere and social rhythm.

"Good performance."

Artoria walked side by side with him, "As the first time you have established diplomatic relations with an important person, your attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, and you use your knowledge, self-cultivation and etiquette to impress their hearts. This is a good start .”

"But I don't like pandering lies in this kind of thing."

Itachi replied helplessly in his heart, "As you said, their thoughts are all imprisoned by etiquette."

"Etiquette is the only point that can distinguish themselves from ordinary people in front of ninjas, other than blood."

"They value manners, but are also... stubborn and corrupt."

In today's communication, although he has always controlled the rhythm of the conversation.

But many thoughts are actually not the real content in Itachi's mind.But just to make friends with Sakamoto Yusheng and others, he made words against his will.

But that's what social is.

It is impossible for a person to speak his mind when facing others.

Regardless of the scene, regardless of the position.

After a pause, Itachi felt a little regretful, "However, the performance of these Fire Nation nobles really disappointed me, and I believe you are also average."

"Sure enough, strength is an important factor in determining status."

"Even on the bright side, in the eyes of many people in the Land of Fire, the daimyo is the lord."

"But in fact, the Hokage of Konoha Village is the one who really decides the direction."

Chapter 64: [Power is not absolute]

Back to the clan, Itachi bid farewell to the Zen couple who were silent along the way, and set foot on the way home.

"No, power is not absolute, at least...you should take care of others."

Beside him, Arturia has always believed in this point of view, and put forward a different view, "Maybe you haven't met too many people, and you can't interpret the content from the details of some expressions. "

"From today's conversation, the information we can recognize so far is that Sakamoto Yusheng and the daimyos of Fire Country have been paying attention to the situation in Konoha Village."

"The nobles such as Cang Tianshan did not know that the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha has eased. But Sakamoto Yusheng is very clear, this is the information we can get."

Itachi nodded, this was something my mother questioned.

"In addition to these known information, you may not be aware of it."

Arturia continued, "In the beginning, Sakamoto Yusheng's attitude towards you changed because of your status as the eldest son of the Uchiha patriarch."

"But his attitude is more blunt and cautious. Especially when it comes to their relationship with Konoha, and the words between nobles and ordinary people, he is even more cautious, for fear of leaking any inappropriate remarks."

"And later, when you showed your etiquette and your knowledge, although he was still cautious about you, he gradually talked about some things they thought."

Speaking of this, she emphasized one point, "It's not that he treats you as a peer to treat such a superficial issue."

"Instead, he wants you to know more about their lives and shows his appreciation for you."

"Strong power can only make those who hold the idea that the strong are respected surrender."

"And for those who don't value power, but care more about wisdom or other aspects, only by letting him appreciate it can he gain his heartfelt respect and support."

"This is the core point in communication, and it is also the most complicated point."

"People's thoughts are not consistent. In most cases, you need to follow the crowd and learn the thoughts of the majority to disguise until you successfully change the majority and let the majority follow in your footsteps..."

Yawen Library

She talked on and on.

Inadvertently, I talked about some theories about standing in line, governing the country... and so on.

Itachi can understand her thoughts.

Arturia is a very powerful king, with dragon blood, the treasure house of human wisdom, the holy sword and scabbard given by the elves in the lake...

In the era of the end of the gods, she can almost be called a divine existence in the world.

However, the invincible Arturia could not rely on this absolute power to lead Britain to success, but could only die with hatred amid civil strife and the division of the kingdom.

Before they knew it, the two walked and chatted, and returned home.

Looking at the familiar mansion, Itachi suddenly realized that going out today was not as relaxing as imagined.

"Tomorrow... let's go out again, just the two of us."

Itachi suggested.

It was rare for Artoria to be interested in activities other than teaching himself, and he didn't want to end it so hastily.

Except for the beginning today, the two of them had time to communicate alone.

From then on, she followed closely beside her, pointing out the rhythm of the conversation between herself and Yusheng Sakamoto from time to time.

Such a result, on the contrary, is more like a practical cultural lesson.

"no need……"

Artoria shook her head, rejecting the proposal.

"I'm not interested in the celebration, I'm just interested in the country of fire and the daimyo."

"Now, I roughly know the status of daimyo and other ordinary people in this country."

"Since that's the case, you still don't want to waste your training time, and you don't need to go out with me."

Itachi was silent for a moment, and finally stepped into the room without opening his mouth.

As a heart-to-heart friend, he really hopes that Artoria can truly integrate into this world, instead of being alone in the sorrow of the past.

But apart from enjoying delicious food and guiding his own growth, he didn't know what else Artoria was interested in.

Back home, the first thing Itachi saw was his father who was already waiting in the living room.

Taking off his shoes, he stepped into the house.

"Today...you met the daimyo's second son."

The words of affirmation sounded from Uchiha Fugaku's mouth, his face was calm, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or worried.
