This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

On the one hand, the excellence of the eldest son made them feel comforted and depended on.But on the other hand, they feel sorry for the child who has shouldered too much at a young age.

"Father, mother, I plan to go back first."

Keenly aware of the eyes of his parents looking over, Itachi turned his head and walked towards them, "My brother is alone at home, I am worried."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back first."

Restraining the complexity in his heart, Fu Yue nodded, and smiled stiffly, "Take this opportunity today to take a good rest and spend more time with your brother."

"and also……"

Next to it, Meiqin also hurriedly said, "I prepared a cake in the refrigerator in the morning, if you get hungry when you get home, you can take it out and eat it."

"Okay, thank you mother."

Itachi nodded calmly, and walked out of the cemetery alone.

When he walked out of the cemetery, it was obvious that many eyes fell on him from time to time.

Itachi didn't care about that.

"You said... Zhishui has been watching me secretly since yesterday?"

His voice passed through his heart to Artoria beside him.

"Well, he looks very tangled."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The light rain covered the leaves, and the sound of dripping raindrops sounded from the puddles on the ground and the eaves...

Itachi followed the eaves of the street, stepped through the inner area step by step, came to the outer edge of Konoha, and headed towards the clan.

"Is he still following?"

Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the clan, Itachi asked softly in his heart.

"Still..."

Arturia's voice sounded in his mind, "I'm right next to him now."

beside……

In this regard, Itachi's footsteps paused, but quickly resumed the rhythm.

He felt a little bit about Artoria's current position, Zhishui was probably behind him on the right.

"I suddenly had an idea."

Itachi hesitated and said, "Now you have mastered the method of short-term materialization, which means that you can complete the most perfect assassination work."

"No matter who it is, when you are incorporeal, you can hide beside them at will."

"And at this time, you just need to hold a sharp knife on his necessary route, aim at his neck or heart, and wait until the moment he arrives to materialize..."

The enemy will hit the tip of the knife by itself!

In the past, Arturia could only be incorporeal, which at most provided him with effective vision and assisted him in immunity to illusions.

But now, she has been able to materialize for a short time, so there are great directions to open up.

Although considering that her magic power, physical strength...has not really integrated into this world, the close-range assassination may be discovered first.

But these things can be made up for through tactics in the process of incorporealization and materialization!

"It might work."

Arturia did not deny the feasibility of this tactic, "But I don't like it, and I won't do it."

His tone is firm and natural.

Itachi remained silent and did not speak to persuade.

He probably knows why.

But... that's fine.

Compared with abandoning everything for the sake of the kingdom and becoming a precision machine without humanity, Arturia like this made him admire even more.

Walking slowly into the clan grounds, Itachi walked step by step towards a place where there were no monitors and few people.

Baimeng Book

In the past, Uchiha's clan was located in the center of Konoha, although it was well-informed and prosperous in business.

But there is not much free space.

But now, they are located in the edge area of ​​the leaves.Although they are far away from other families, they may not even get news of the Konoha clan meeting.

But the territory is much bigger, and the forest near the edge of Konoha has expanded the practice field of the clan.

"He sensed that you found him."

When Itachi's figure stepped into a dense forest, Artoria's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Stop the water..."

That being the case, Itachi calmly stopped, turned around and looked at the big tree where Artoria was.

He wasn't surprised to be noticed.

Itachi has always known that Shishui is a very powerful person.

Powerful does not refer to the level of combat power, but the activeness of thinking.

From the clear thinking revealed in the words he talked with himself, Itachi can basically conclude that he is the person in the clan who can see the situation most clearly except himself.

Although so far, his position is more in favor of Konoha.

"I didn't expect you to have such a high talent in perception."

Uchiha Shisui walked out from the shadow of the tree with a complex expression, "Itachi, it would be great if you could be born earlier."

It seems... Sarutobi Hiruzen is going to make a move, and it's about himself.

Itachi's mind is very sharp.

"Shishui, you should know."

He said calmly, "Age has no limitations for you and me."

"But in the current situation, you are too dazzling, which is not a good thing."

Uchiha Shisui didn't come close, just leaning on the tree and sitting on the lawn, "Recently, the friction between the clan and Konoha has been frequent."

"Perhaps for the purpose of deterrence or seduction, the Third Hokage hopes that you can go out of the village with him to perform the mission."

"And I am the one who delivers the message for him."

deter, lure...

Itachi grasped these two words keenly, but did not speak.

"The clan meeting has not been held for a long time."

There was no trace of panic about Itachi, but very calm, Uchiha Shisui's eyes showed a touch of regret, and he continued, "But I know that although there is no clan association, the clan leader will still call some jounin from time to time. , conduct small-scale meeting discussions.”

"And about those meetings, he never called me once."

"Thinking about it, it should be because of my current position that it is no longer convenient to participate in the affairs of the clan."

His words are straightforward.

"But there is one thing that can't be changed."

Uchiha Shisui's face slowly became serious, and changed from his previous gentleness, "I am also a member of Uchiha, if I leave Uchiha, I will have no home in Konoha."

"So I hope you can seriously consider my next words and go home to persuade your father."

After a pause, "I can roughly guess that the patriarch's latest behavior is to emphasize Uchiha's achievements, make Konoha feel guilty, and play the emotional card."

"But in fact, such a journey will only make the relationship between the two parties more and more severe, without any change or relaxation."

"What's more deadly is that Konoha has anticipated and prepared for the intensification of this conflict!"

His voice is very solemn, "Konoha is like an old man fishing by the lake, and Uchiha is the big fish in the lake."

"Uchiha is a meritorious minister to Konoha. Without sufficient reason, Konoha cannot take the initiative to attack Uchiha. Otherwise, the loss of people's hearts and the decline of collective consciousness will inevitably happen. This is due to Konoha's grand plan. Words are a huge loss.”

"So they need to use various methods to lure Uchiha to take the initiative."

"Whether it was the previous forced relocation of the clan, or surveillance, or even the next three generations of Hokage to take you out of the village, these are probably their traps to lure Uchiha to take the initiative to rebel."

"Can you understand what I mean? Itachi, I hope you can persuade your father to be soft for a while, at least...you can't let you leave the village with the third Hokage, otherwise you may die, or become Konoha against Uchi An excuse to make a move."

"Temporary softness is not cowardice, but for the sake of the overall situation..."

As a senior of the family, no matter how long Uchiha Shisui struggled, he couldn't accept that he watched a seven-year-old child die because of this or that.

What's more, Itachi's performance is so...gentle and friendly.

He did not hesitate to help ordinary people because of his age, status, and strength. Instead, he understood "guarding" at a young age, protecting and maintaining the newly born or unborn babies in the clan.

A seven-year-old Itachi can do it. If Zhishui watched him go to die and become a victim of some dirty incidents, it would be a bit unworthy of his senior status!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Was it to remind myself...

Hearing Shishui's earnest and emphatic voice, Itachi didn't speak.

And the expression on his face is always calm.

"Itachi, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

But Itachi's performance made Uchiha Shisui a little dazed.

Could it be that what I said was too complicated?

It shouldn't be, with Itachi's conversation when he was in contact with him, he shouldn't be unable to understand these contents.

Or...he hasn't understood the situation, didn't he understand that Konoha and Uchiha are no longer friends?

"About this matter, I will convey it to my father."

Itachi nodded, but didn't mention that he had already noticed Konoha's trap and planned to do it.

It's not that he has great doubts about the clansman in front of him who came to remind him, but it's unnecessary.

There's no need for him to be caught between the two.

"You work hard."

Hearing Itachi's response, Shisui didn't know if he understood.

But in any case, his mission as an Anbu ninja has been completed.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, what should be reminded has already been reminded.

The rest is up to the patriarch's own choice.

Zhishui didn't stay in the forest for too long, and he needed to go back to report.

This task was assigned by the Three Hokages a few days ago, but it was not until today that he successfully completed it.

If the delay continues, the original excuse to prevaricate the task overtime will be useless.

"He looks pathetic."

Looking at the back of Uchiha Shisui leaving with Artoria, Itachi's regretful words sounded in her ears, "On the one hand is the village that I recognize and want to protect, and on the other is my family, which is connected by blood. family."

"He doesn't smile as much or as softly as he used to."

"The whole person seems to be pressed by a layer of mountains, and there is a thick and gloomy air from head to toe."

Itachi can also see this.

In the past, Shishui liked to talk with himself about the "will of fire" in his heart after the sparring.

At that time, his smile was full of yearning for the future and expectation for peace.

But now, he seems a little afraid to face the future...

"This will all end."
