This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

In less than a second, his figure approached Zhishui, and he punched out!

At the moment when he clearly recognized the force transmitted from the contact surface, Zhishui instinctively used the technique of removing the force.

But his body was still sent flying by this punch!

What a powerful force!

What a great speed!

The bodily functions displayed by Itachi are completely different from before, which makes Shisui re-judge it.

The originally relaxed expression gradually became serious.

Even the Sangouyu Sharingan Eye has been opened.

If there is no Sharingan, he might not be able to catch Itachi's moving figure!

Originally, Zhishui just wanted to be a tutor, to deepen the relationship between the patriarch and the conservatives in the clan, and to sharpen the new blood in the clan by the way.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he came up, he would have to take it seriously.

This talent and age...

No wonder the patriarch attaches so much importance to Itachi, and repeatedly asked not to expose everything in the sparring process.

If this talent is really exposed, it will not be a good thing for the current situation between Konoha and Uchiha.

Especially those guys who were suppressed by the third Hokage and the fourth Hokage, hidden in the roots of the big tree, hidden in the darkness, will definitely behave excessively because of Itachi's talent!

And the final result of all this will be the breakdown of the establishment of diplomatic relations!

Although he still doesn't know whether this is Itachi's full level, Shisui already has a judgment on Itachi's talent, and...considers some things other than strength.

The patriarch Fuyue may not only put the chips of family stability on the conservative side.

He may have made two-handed preparations.

And the other hand doesn't seem to be radicals, but...Itachi!

Chapter 73: 【Inheritor of the Will of Fire】

"Summary of today's duel."

As summer approached, when the sky was covered with red clouds and people who were busy outside gradually returned home, Itachi and Shisui in the Uchiha training ground stopped their movements.

"You have mastered the three arts of Ninja, Body, and Illusion very thoroughly."

Shisui sat on the tree stump, looking gently at Itachi who was adjusting his breathing rhythm, "Your ninjutsu, whether it is control, shape change, or nature change, has reached a relatively high level."

"I don't have too many suggestions for you in this regard except for the proficiency of the use of spells."

"As for taijutsu, your physique is very strong, stronger than most taijutsu ninjas I have ever seen, and almost on the same level as the Yeyue clan in Yunyin Village."

"In terms of combat experience, you are also so seasoned that you don't look like a child who hasn't really performed tasks, but rather like a person who has been a ninja for many years."

"As for the illusion, I can only judge that the resistance is very strong, almost ignoring most of the illusion attacks I caused."

"In general, without considering the mission experience, you already have the level that a Chunin in a combat position should have, and you are already an elite among the Chunin."

For Shisui who has galloped on the battlefield for many years and seen countless types of ninjas, this is already a high evaluation.

As for this, Itachi was a little puzzled, "A... Chunin with combat duties?"

Shisui replied with a smile, "Yes, this should be the content that you will slowly come into contact with after you become a ninja."

As he spoke, he explained, "According to Konoha's rules, after the sub-ninjas are divided into shifts, a top ninja will lead the team and earn rewards by performing entrusted tasks. You should be clear about this."

Itachi nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Shisui continued to explain, "Then Shinobi will slowly confirm his future job direction during the tasks he performs."

"And after the mission experience and ability of the ninja reach a certain stage, the ninja who leads the team can submit an application to start the assessment of the ninja exam."

"After the assessment is over and you become a Zhongnin, you can apply to work in various positions in the village, with a fixed salary every month or every year, instead of relying solely on entrusted tasks to earn remuneration."

Speaking of this, he paused, "Ninja's job has many branches, including combat jobs, such as border guards, guards, Anbu, and even some not-so-respectable jobs."

"Auxiliary positions, such as interrogation department, medical department, perception class, sealing class, ninja school..."

"Most of the money allocated to Konoha by the Fire Nation every year is to maintain the operation of these institutions."

"Among these jobs, the one that requires the highest overall quality of ninjas is the combat job."

"Ninjas who want to try combat positions need to constantly improve themselves in all aspects, and have reached the relative "perfection" of "self-requirements" in order to better face the enemy. "

"There is a big difference in combat effectiveness between a ninja from the assistant position, such as a ninja from a medical class, and a ninja from a combat position."

Itachi listened silently.

In fact, these contents, when he was practicing with Hui, he had heard him mention them.

After Uchiha's ninjas became Chunin, they basically devoted themselves to the work of the guard.

In addition, because the relationship with the village is not harmonious.So there are very few opportunities to participate in work in other institutions.

"How is it? It's amazing!"

After the explanation, Shisui's tone was full of emotion, "In just 50 years, under the circumstances of war, generations of people took root on this land from scratch and built Konoha."

"And with the selfless dedication of countless people, Konoha's roots are getting deeper and deeper, so that it is now a big tree in the sky, protecting one side."

"What a marvelous thing this is!"

Under the setting sun, his eyes were actually a little bright, looking at the Huoying Rock in the distance, "Who would have thought that 50 years ago, the land under our feet was still a forest with nothing?"

"Itachi, if we Uchiha and Konoha are enemies, it means that we have denied the past."

"Those ancestors who died fighting for Konoha, their sacrifices will become worthless. And the glory that our family has inherited from generation to generation, and our identity as the builder of Konoha will also disappear..."

As if muttering to himself, Zhishui talked about his past and everything he came into contact with in this village.

Itachi: "..."

Standing beside him, he didn't talk to him, just looked at Hokage Rock together with Shisui, and listened silently to his chatter.

Although I don't know, what is the purpose of Zhishui, in front of himself, a person who only has a relationship with two sides, talking about this kind of words like digging out his heart.

But... In fact, Itachi quite agrees.

This concept of the new generation taking over the torch from the old generation and working together to build a beautiful home is definitely worthy of recognition.

Both Arturia and herself agree with this idea.

But it is impossible for him to open his mouth to really communicate with Zhishui.

"Maybe we're all wrong."

Rejecting Shisui's invitation to have dinner together, Itachi left alone in the eyes of outsiders.

Beside him, Arturia was very emotional about Shisui's words just now, "We thought that it was impossible for Uchiha to appear completely from the perspective of the village, and to be a person of Konoha. The person who considers the direction."

"In fact, Zhishui is the one who perfectly inherited the will of fire."

"If he hadn't been born in Uchiha, he might be eligible for the job of Hokage."

Itachi has a different view on this, "Even if he was born Uchiha, it is not impossible for him to become Hokage."

"You intend to use him as the next link in your father's plan?"

Arturia, who was connected with each other and almost witnessed Itachi's growth, immediately realized his plan.

"One generation does one generation's work."

Itachi calmly replied, "Father's generation has maintained the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha, and completed the establishment of diplomatic relations."

"Then my generation should have a greater breakthrough."

"When a Uchiha takes up the post of Hokage, and vigorously thinks from the perspective of Konoha, after completing a major event, I believe that no matter who it is, it will no longer question the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha."

Regarding his words, Artoria's eyes showed a look of relief.

Maybe Itachi hasn't discovered it yet, but he has unconsciously been thinking about many issues from the perspective of the patriarch's heir.

Even in his words, he always said that he just wanted to protect his family.But in fact, he is no longer just standing by his family.

"But it's not going to be easy."

But soon, Arturia reminded again.

"take it easy."

Itachi was not in a hurry, "Father has created a good buffer time for me, and I have a long time to complete this matter."

But at this time, the direction he walked after leaving the practice site was not home.

Tonight is the night of the full moon.

Chapter 74: 【Convincing Power】

In the 51st year of Konoha, at the end of spring, the land of the Uchiha clan, Nanga Shrine.

The end of spring is approaching summer, and the weather is already hot and dry. Even at night, the air is filled with the sultry feeling left over from the day.

Itachi and Artoria sat together on the roof of Nanga Shrine, looking at the stars in the sky.

Although, this place is often used as the location of the clan meeting.

But in the absence of a clan association, there are not many clansmen stationed there.

For today's Itachi, sneaking in is not difficult.

"Do you think... Hui will come tonight?"

Artoria's tone was slightly expectant.

"Whether you come or not, when he asked me what it meant to donate my Sharingan, I already roughly knew his answer."

Compared to Artoria's expectations, Itachi was very calm.

He crossed his hands behind his head, lay on the eaves, and looked at the stars in the sky, "But if it comes, I think, I will be happier."

"I hope he comes."

Arturia sat beside her dignifiedly, and expressed her thoughts straightforwardly, "If you take the initiative to sacrifice someone you cherish as a condition in exchange for a powerful Sharingan, how... a person with no bottom line."

"They have a limit."

Almost at the moment when her voice fell, Itachi opened his mouth and refuted her, "I think the reason Hui and the others were willing to listen to my words and think on my side was because of their companions in their respective teams. .”

"After all, even if my talent is very strong, they have already recognized that I am the next patriarch of Uchiha in terms of strength, but..."

"That's not enough!"

There was rare excitement in his heart, but the thoughts in his mind were always clear.

"Compared to my reasons, I am more inclined. Hui and the others are on the side of the conservatives themselves. They are unwilling to leave their companions who have been with them day and night, and they are unwilling to be enemies with them. They are only forced to side with the radicals because of their elders. in the team."

Itachi continued to explain, "The reason why Uchiha Aomon is willing to wait may be because he has seen my talent, or it may be because the radicals in the Ming clan are weak."

"But I think the bigger reason is that they are very clear that their children actually want to live in peace with Konoha."

"Hui and the others are able to oppose their elders for the sake of their cherished companions. They absolutely have their own bottom line. It is impossible to hold the idea that "living with companions in exchange for strength is worth celebrating"..."

He and Artoria analyzed their own understanding of Hui and the others' willingness to stand beside him.

Itachi never felt how powerful he was, and he could turn them around with just a few words.

At least... At this stage, based on age and one's own experience, it doesn't have that much influence.

From Arturia's teaching to himself, Itachi knew that it was not an easy task to change other people's positions and thoughts.

Let Hui and others stand on their own side, and let Uchiha Qingmen and others suspend their actions. This requires many factors as the basis, and it cannot be achieved by a few words or showing a strong talent.

It can only be said that my talent and performance are only used as a hub, and the factor that achieves all of this is that Yuhui and the others still have nostalgia for Konoha's people.

"The Guard is Here"

Let Itachi clearly recognize himself, and understand the operation of command ability, convincing power, dominance... It is also Artoria's teaching.

As the Roman Empire was invaded by foreign enemies, it gradually showed a tendency to die and split. The Britannia Islands, which once belonged to the territory of the Roman Empire, fell into a situation of fighting among themselves.

During the reign of the last king of Britain, King Uther, Britain was like the twilight of the curtain. There was no morale in the country. The economy, food, military strength... everything was going downhill.

There is no hope for the people, and there is no resistance even to the invasion and ravages of enemy countries.
