This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

And I just simply obeyed my father's wishes. In the process, I didn't even say that I liked or didn't like it.

Maybe it's also because of this... that I unknowingly have doubts about the meaning of life?

There were many thoughts in Itachi's heart, but there was no slight change on the surface, and he remained expressionless and cold all the time.

"Your Excellency Arturia."

After returning to the room, Itachi sat down at the table, looked at Arturia who was also sitting upright opposite, and solemnly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you very much for your help on the battlefield this time."

"Without your multiple reminders and company, I might not be able to come back unscathed."

This is a fact.

Many times, under Artoria's timely reminder, he avoided the enemy's kunai and shuriken dangerously.

Even sometimes, when he had to hide, she, as the queen of an ancient country, was willing to act as his eyes, providing him with information and vision, which made him feel a little flattered.

Queen……

In Itachi's heart, this status is probably equivalent to that of Hokage in the village, the daimyo of Fire Country.

It's unbelievable that Hokage and Daimyo condescend to be the eyes of this half-grown child.

"It doesn't have to be, after all, you are the only person in this world who can communicate with me."

Artoria waved her hand, looking at the scene in front of her with some amusement in her heart.

A child who was probably just above the table was thanking himself solemnly.

This is almost unheard of in Great Britain.

Precocious children are not absent, but a child like Itachi Uchiha who seems to be born knowing it, probably only himself, a person created with magic and precious dragon blood, can match it, right?

"It turns out that the reason why your Excellency has been helping me is because I am your only communication bridge in this world?"

Itachi asked calmly, "Maybe... I'm going to be blunt, maybe a little presumptuous."

"But I can feel that there seems to be other reasons for Her Excellency Artoria's help to me."

He paused at this point, "Just now in the bathroom, you said that you were not on the trajectory of my life, and the meaning of your words seemed to be that you didn't want to interfere with my growth."

"But from my observations, I found that Your Excellency seems to be guiding me all the time. Although I don't know whether your guidance is good or bad."

"But your actions and words are not as you said, and you did not interfere with me."

Perhaps in the beginning, Arturia was really helping herself by holding that she was the only bridge between her and the world.

But at some point, her attitude towards herself changed.

She always likes to guide herself through very subtle words and actions.

"Shouldn't you be thinking about how to survive the current predicament?"

This sentence is when I was hiding in the tree hole, my mind was shaken by Iwanin's words, and after her whereabouts were exposed, she gave me a cold warning. Now that I think about it, I have some illusions that I hate iron but not steel.

Then, whether it's her sentence "I won't be sad forever", or some comments on Konoha's policy after returning to Muye Village.

Including "Your mother seems to want to communicate with you", "Only after experiencing this process, you can truly understand", "Compassion does not command soldiers, although it is shameful to abandon wounded soldiers, but the stability of the battle situation is the most rational Considering..."

Ferret has a good memory and active thinking.

Thinking back carefully, there are many words that she seemed to sound inadvertently, as if they were guiding her own thoughts, inadvertently changing her behavior patterns and thinking patterns.

Arturia was a little silent, her beautiful green eyes stared straight at Itachi.

After a long time, she said softly, "When did you find out?"

Itachi's eyes never moved away, just like her, staring directly at each other, "It's in the bathroom, and you reminded me."

"Just because of one sentence, did you realize it immediately?"

Arturia's eyes showed admiration, "In fact, it was only after you reminded me that I realized that I had hinted and influenced you so much inadvertently."

"So about that... I'm sorry."

"Because I really don't want to interfere with your behavior in my heart. But what you did really made me unable to restrain myself."

"restraint?"

Itachi was a little puzzled, "So...Your Excellency, you mean that you are not actively guiding me, but passively?"

"Yes……"

Artoria nodded, "I saw my own shadow from your body."

"Especially when you misunderstood the truth of being ambushed, put shackles on yourself alone, and let yourself take responsibility, it made me believe in one thing even more."

"You are definitely not an ordinary child. One day, you will bear extremely heavy pressure like me, or become the patriarch of your Uchiha, or become the Hokage of this village."

"And I inadvertently want to add some of my own thoughts to you in the process."

Speaking of this, her tone became a little heavy, "Actually, before I died, I hoped to return to the day when the king was elected and change history, even if I sacrificed everything, including my soul."

"But I don't want to change my ending. I already knew my own ending from the moment I drew the sword in the stone."

"I want to change the outcome of Great Britain."

"I thought, if someone else becomes the king, if the king is elected by the people themselves, instead of a sword to determine the king's status."

"Perhaps the new king will do better than me? He should... understand people's hearts and what the people want better than me. Even if all traces of me will be erased in the process, I will willing."

"But unfortunately...I can't go back to Great Britain, but as a failed king, I want to witness the life of a successful king."

Chapter 14: 【Physical Tempering】

Under the night, the Uchiha tribe is very peaceful. After returning to the warm and comfortable environment, the ninjas who have not returned home for a long time have relieved their exhaustion. They are tender with their wives and chatting with their families...

The water named happiness slowly soothed their tense nerves from time to time due to the war.But it will take a long time to really calm down from that emotion.

And as a member who has been on the battlefield, Itachi is much calmer than others.

Lying on his bed after a long absence, he looked at the endless starry sky along the window.

But Itachi's thoughts are not outside the house, but inside the house.

His thoughts fell to Artoria not far away, who was sitting upright with her eyes closed.

From my body, do you see your own shadow?

Recalling the conversation with her just now, Itachi can probably understand her thoughts.

Arturia thinks she is a failed king for Great Britain.

Protecting Great Britain is almost her duty from birth.And this responsibility was not fulfilled, which dealt a great blow to her.

What is even more deadly is that in this process, she did not understand which direction of her rule had made mistakes and omissions.

That's why Artoria wants to perfect her royal way by cultivating herself.

But will I be her shadow as she wants?

Itachi slowly looked away from the starry sky and closed his eyes.

Since there is no direction for the time being, it is better to try to listen to her thoughts.

Anyway...

If he wanted to have the power to determine his destiny in this world, with her help, he might be able to go faster.

……

In the early morning, after breakfast, Artoria looked a little surprised when Uchiha Itachi explained his request.

"Have you really decided? I am not a qualified instructor."

In the courtyard, she stared at the figure in front of her, "And what I have learned may not necessarily apply to your world."

"After seeing your father's strength, I understand one thing, that is, the power of ninjas is far stronger than I imagined."

"If you ask me for advice, it may not be of much help to your future life."

Itachi was very calm about her reminder, and replied: "I don't want to give up the power of ninjas and choose another path."

"For me, it is not impossible to go both ways."

"Your Excellency Arturia, as I have read your memory, I am very clear about what I will learn from you."

Although his demeanor and tone of voice are calm, there is a sense of confidence in his words.

"Two ways to go together..."

Arturia murmured, as someone who had seen Itachi's memory, she did not doubt this possibility.

So soon, her expression became serious, "Since this is the case, I will treat you as severely as my teacher taught me, please be prepared."

Itachi nodded, "Of course..."

"So……"

Artoria looked at the beautiful courtyard, "Let's change the venue now, this doesn't seem to be a suitable training venue."

"plz follow me."

Itachi is also aware of this problem, "There is a forest near the family land, and my father used to guide my training there."

As he spoke, he first mentioned to his mother that he was going out, and he stepped forward to lead the way.

When he left the clan, he suddenly remembered something, "Are we going to practice swordsmanship next? Maybe... I should buy a sword first?"

From Artoria's request to go out, Itachi can tell that it should be teaching practical combat.

In her memory, the first actual combat course she received was swordsmanship.

In fencing, her teacher taught her what knightly glory is.

"No no no..."

Artoria stopped him, "Learning swordsmanship requires a strong body as the foundation."

"Because I have the blood of the red dragon in my body, I am physically stronger than ordinary humans, so I can directly practice swordsmanship."

"And you... need to temper your body first."

Exercise your body?

Itachi's eyes were a little confused.

"Physical training will be very hard."

Artoria continued to remind, "And what is tested in this process is not pure talent, but also requires a lot of hard work and sweat to accumulate."

"Although I have never tried physical training, every knight under my command has a shadow of similar physical training."

"Itachi, your talent may be very high, but the next guidance will exercise your perseverance!"

……

"This is the way the royal family of Great Britain tempers their offspring. Every generation of princes needs to temper themselves in this way."

In the forest, Artoria is sitting gracefully on a tree stump that has been completely cut off, her waist and legs are almost at a [-]-degree right angle, "The royal family has everything in Great Britain. Nature is also the most extreme."

"A prince who can completely complete this kind of training, after becoming a king, will be inferior to other countries in terms of governing ability. But at least he will not be weaker than other countries in terms of bravery and will."

And just not far from her.

Under the sunlight, Uchiha Itachi was half-naked, maintaining a very strange posture, with a straight spine, bent feet, clenched left hand into a fist, and arms vertically facing downward.And on his thin and small body, he was white and without any sense of strength.

But soon, with Itachi's every breath, the muscles all over his body seemed to come to life, jumping around flexibly, as if there was a little snake swimming around his body.

But in fact, it wasn't a little snake, but the power of qi and blood in the weasel's body, that is, pure physical energy.

call--

With the physical energy under the control of consciousness, matching with the posture he unfolded, Itachi could feel his body getting heavier and heavier.

It was as if something was pressing on him, making it hard to breathe.

And under this strong sense of oppression, my body felt more and more expanding.

"Keep your breath stable. As the power of Qi and blood flows through your body faster, your body will become heavier and heavier."

Arturia's voice sounded at the right time, "During this process, your qi and blood will rush like a river, and your body is now like a... small stream..."

"You need to clench your teeth, strengthen your will, and use all means to make your body familiar with and adapt to this change, gradually turning your body into a river and a sea."
