This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"Although, I know that you are also confused about your future and life."

"But I know very well that you will never find an answer in the dark. You should get out of the shadows and look at the bright world outside..."

These words are definitely heart-pounding.

In terms of strength and talent, Kakashi is more than adequate for Hokage's position.

The more important point is that his thinking is more in line with the concept of "will of fire".

Although in the past, Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, chose to rescue his companions when he was performing an important mission and delayed the fighter plane, causing more people to die in the war, so his concept of companions was very small.

But now, as he grows up, he already understands the difficulty of his father's choice at that time.

To understand this point, to think about this point, and to be tortured by this point is to be a responsible person. Although it is... cruel, it is true.

And from the moment Sarutobi Hiruzen defined Kakashi as "the most suitable inheritor in this generation", his position in his heart was already different from others.

Even his own child may not be as important as Kakashi.

"Three generations of adults..."

There was complexity in Kakashi's eyes.

At this moment, he could feel an inexplicable responsibility being slowly passed from the old man in front of him to himself, and he was a little apprehensive and uneasy about this responsibility.

"Go back, let's talk about it when we go back."

Faced with Kakashi's uneasiness, Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt that he was a little too hasty under the excellent stimulation of Uchiha Itachi, and slowly changed the topic, "In about two days, Daimyo and I can start Reach the share of strategic materials."

When it came to returning to the village, he was a little depressed, "But before returning to the village, the daimyo wants to invite us to a formal banquet, and the three of us must be there by name."

"But……"

Kakashi was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to refuse on the grounds of his position.

"What he means is that when they come as guests, it is impossible for them as hosts to let you two go without even entertaining them once."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said helplessly, "The rules of these nobles, as you can see from the number of times I travel these days, are very complicated and rigid."

"Since this is the case, you should participate once, it should be just a meal."

"The daimyo said that this time we are only invited for a family banquet, and people from other noble families will not be invited, so don't worry that it will be very noisy."

As the saying goes, taking advantage of the short hands and eating the short mouth, repeatedly asked the daimyo for additional funds.

Now that the daimyo has agreed to it time and time again out of compliance with the agreement of the first Hokage.

Then they can't be too disrespectful here, and it doesn't matter if they observe their cumbersome etiquette once.

Seeing this, Kakashi didn't refuse again, but he still mentioned, "Master Sandai, I don't talk much, so..."

"I see, when the daimyo has any topic that involves you, I will help you block it."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded understandingly, "You should go back too, by the way, let Itachi be notified and get him mentally prepared to meet the daimyo."

Meeting the lord of a country, he should be a little excited, right?

"Yes……"

When mentioning the task, Kakashi's voice returned to the previous ruthless and cold tone.

Then, his figure slowly disappeared from the room.

……

"Is it the daimyo's private family banquet?"

In a separate courtyard of Sakamoto Yusheng's mansion, Itachi received a message from Kakashi.

"Yes, it should be a matter of these two days."

Kakashi's calm tone came from under the mask, "Master Sandai hopes that you will be mentally prepared."

"I see."

Itachi nodded calmly, then continued to focus on the book in front of him.

And on the desktop, there are still many ancient scrolls with worn covers.

These are the books he borrowed from Sakamoto Yusheng, about the history of the country of fire.

From these books, Itachi can discover a lot of content that has not been recorded in the history books of Konoha Village.

For example, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Fire, the contribution of the Daming Mansion to the middle of the country.

This is a matter of course. In the history books I compile, I naturally want to tout more about my country's construction.

In addition to these, there is also the history of the land under the feet before the establishment of the Kingdom of Fire, the legendary Ninja sect founded by the sages of the Six Paths.

Even the era before the appearance of ninjas, some records of the country of the motherland and the country of the other side, and... "Goddess of Mao".

The goddess of Mao.

Itachi's fingers slowly brushed over the four bold words on the book, "Artoria, do you think there are gods in this world?"

He spoke softly, and asked about Artoria who was reading a book together, almost arm to arm.

Because of Kakashi's monitoring, she can't materialize herself to read books, but can only be forced to work with Itachi

"do not know……"

Arturia shook her head, "I can only say that in my world, gods do exist."

Although in my own time, it was the twilight of the gods and the end of the myth.

But the gods in the sky have really existed.

"What kind of existence is a god...?"

Itachi continued to ask, his fingers resting on the "Goddess of Mao".

This is the first time he has seen the record of this title, and judging from its era, it should be an earlier myth than the "Sage of the Six Paths".

"God? It's hard to explain."

Arturia seemed a little distressed, "Some gods are different from humans in race."

"They are intelligent beings that existed at the beginning of the creation of the world, or even before the creation of the world. It is normal for them to be immortal, and they are in a divine and lonely level, and they are not the same species as humans."

"And there is another kind of god, born from human beings."

"Or because of his life's achievements, he was admired and enshrined by the world after death or even during his lifetime, and became a god. Or man-made offerings and beliefs are inherently sacred, and they are blessed and protected by them."

"Also, it is the combination of human beings and those who are inherently divine. They are called demigods, often because they have inherited the mighty power of the gods, and they have also left a very strong pen and ink in the history books."

Sounds like a lot of categories.

Itachi stopped trying to understand what a god is.

But Arturia didn't stop talking, "I once... also felt the feeling of becoming a god."

"It was a very complicated feeling. All the thoughts in the mind were sorted out in an instant, all human emotions were suppressed, and divinity occupied the body."

"If I had to describe that feeling, it would be ruthless and intelligent."

After a pause, she corrected again, "It should be ruthless, so it becomes wise."

Arturia ever tried to become a god?

Itachi's eyes were a little dazed, but soon, as the shining spear appeared in his mind, a sense of clarity emerged in his heart.

Yes, while holding that long spear, the great power contained in the spear will make people enter that state.

What is the name of that gun, oh, the gun that shines at the end, is the anchor that holds the world together.

Chapter 120 Nine: [Meet the daimyo]

The spear that shines at the end - Rungomigniad.

Itachi's thoughts stopped here.

When the real name and posture of the Holy Lance appeared in his mind, he suddenly had another level of understanding of the power of the king Artoria.

In fact, she is not just an invincible king who brings hope to Britain.At the same time, she is also a true god who can destroy the world!

As long as she picks up the shining spear, the divinity contained in it will guide her to evolve to another level of beings-God.

How powerful is God's power?

Itachi had never seen it, not even in Artoria's memory.

Because the era she lives in is an era in which the gods have disappeared and the world is gradually dominated by humans.

But there is no doubt that it is a force capable of destroying the world.

Or in other words, enough to destroy the power of the planet.

Thinking of this, Itachi's heart suddenly felt a lot easier.

Because until now, he had never defeated Artoria in a heart battle.

Hundreds of battles have been fought so far, and there is not a single chance to gain an advantage.

The figure revealed in the mind war space has a powerful and unshakable posture, which is completely different from the cute and innocent girl who sometimes looks cute and innocent in the real world.

If it was a battle with her who was once a god, even if she lost, it can be explained, right?

Itachi comforted himself like this.

In the room, fell into a quiet atmosphere again.

Itachi and Arturia were looking at the same book.

As for Kakashi, who still stayed in the room after delivering the message for the third Hokage, he was also reading a book.

It's just that they read different types of books.

In this room, there is actually a sense of harmony.

……

"When I see the daimyo later, if he opens his mouth to talk about some unanswerable questions, you just need to be silent, and I will block the words for you."

"First Evolution"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said it was two days, but in fact, Itachi received his notice the day after Kakashi sent the message.

Immediately afterwards, Itachi dressed neatly and participated in Daimyo Sakamoto's family banquet with him.

"Okay, three generations of adults."

Hearing Hiruzaru Sarutobi's advice, Itachi responded softly.

As for why the daimyo proposed this family banquet, he had another thought in his heart.

Nothing more, it is about the "transaction" I mentioned before.

These days, although Kakashi has been monitoring secretly, in fact, neither he nor Sakamoto Yusheng can see his intention.Therefore, when chatting, it is more about making metaphors and talking with various things.

Presumably, it was the daimyo who finally became interested in trading the "knowledge" he called.

And in the process, it is obvious that Sakamoto Yusheng is not a simple and innocent person.

Itachi could clearly understand this from the first time he saw him among the leaves.

It's just that compared to two years ago, Sakamoto Yusheng's hiding is deeper.

In fact, from the first meeting in the Daming Mansion to every subsequent meeting, Sakamoto Yusheng was just wearing a mask of arrogance and contempt for ninjas, dealing with Kakashi in the dark.

Although...he may really look down on him in his heart, what they think is a brutal, cold-blooded ninja.

However, he will never think that ninjas are unnecessary because of this.

It's like the yearning for a peaceful and beautiful world that Sakamoto Yusheng said when we first met.

If someone really believes these words and thinks that Sakamoto Yusheng is a naive person who has no understanding of war, then probably...

You will be cheated miserably.

However, if I hadn't met Sakamoto Yusheng two years ago, I might have been deceived by him that day.

After all, the guy's demeanor and words at that time were so real.From the bottom of his heart, he looks down on ninjas, thinks that ninjas who don't know how to live are like beasts, and naively thinks that there will be peace without ninjas.

I have to say that during this trip, Itachi gained a lot of knowledge about "knowing people" from the process of contacting this guy.

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen, Itachi and Kakashi who had taken off the animal mask beside him finally entered the ancient attic where the lord of this country lived for the first time.
