I, Konoha’s Life Mentor

Sasuke, you are here at the wrong time!

Zhishui secretly said in his heart.

Sasuke is also seven years old this year. It is hard to expect that he and Itachi, who are three or four years older than him, can have too much in common with him. With Sasuke, Itachi is more of a brother.

Hearing Sasuke's voice, the two worlds were completely shattered.

Itachi and Izumi quickly separated a short distance, as if nothing had happened, and when Sasuke arrived, Izumi went to the back position, and he didn't look conspicuous.

"Sasuke, is get out of class over?"

"Yeah, brother, teach me today - control the shuriken, I want to learn more than five of them!"

Sasuke shouted happily.

Itachi squatted down, put his hand on Sasuke's head, brushed the child's hair, and said, "I can't do it today, I'll teach you another day."

"No, we have a test in a few days..."

"There is indeed something important today, and as long as the test is done steadily, there is no problem with your ability, you are my brother!"

Itachi said with a smile.

Sasuke pursed his lips, "unhappy" was written on his face, and glanced at Izumi Uchiha behind Itachi, his eyes were very dissatisfied, making people suspect that he was going to rush to fight.

Uchiha Izumi showed a gentle and beautiful smile, but how could a bear child of this age know how to appreciate a girl's smile. In Sasuke's eyes, this is a demonstration of "victory".

hateful!

Sasuke was angry.

"Then you teach me the art of fireball!"

"Forgive me, Sasuke."

Itachi flicked his forehead as he spoke, and got up to go somewhere else with Quan, but he couldn't help but be slightly startled when he turned around.

speak up.

My own words have a strong sense of sight!

He was lost in thought.

After a few seconds, he thought about why he had such a strong sense of déjà vu.

Shishui seems to be dealing with himself in the same way.

never mind,

unimportant……

He came back to his senses and was about to go to other places with Izumi, but saw Izumi squatting in front of Sasuke, comforting in a soft voice: "Sasuke, I will also be proud of fireball techniques and kunai control, otherwise I will teach you?"

"don't want!"

Sasuke said angrily, then turned and ran away.

Shishui was on the side, almost laughing out loud.

Sasuke is really...

Qualified bear boy!

He doesn't know how to hide his expression, and his reliance on Itachi is too strong - this is why he wants Itachi to teach him ninjutsu, but he just doesn't want to see Itachi with others.

He laughed dumbly, then shook his head slightly, and walked to another path.

Shishui doesn't want to have too much contact with Itachi for the time being.

but.

Itachi and Izumi sensed him at this time.

After walking a few steps, Zhishui turned his head sideways and glanced behind him with the corner of his eyes.

These two boys...

He pondered for a moment and walked towards the forest of death.

Itachi and Quan follow along.

In the forest of death, Zhishui stopped and said speechlessly: "I said when will you two follow? It's not early, should we go home?"

"Lord Zhishui (brother)."

Izumi and Itachi emerged from the shadows.

Itachi was not ashamed, he knew very well how powerful this brother Zhishui, who was only three or four years older than him, could not hide his ability to hide from the other party.

When I came this way, I thought that it was also deliberately made by Zhishui.

Therefore, after saying hello, he bowed deeply and said, "Brother Zhishui, Quan and I want to join your guard team."

"Itachi, don't you know why I keep my distance from you?"

The water is helpless.

This ferret is really a bit oily and salty.

"I know."

Itachi was silent for a few seconds after speaking, "But I am me, and my father is my father. I have my own choices. I... I agree with your analysis of the will of fire."

Shishui was helpless but proud.

He and Itachi are also teachers and friends. Many of Itachi's thoughts are actually influenced by some of his speeches and books when he was a child, and the analysis of "Will of Fire" is one of them.

A single tree is hard to support, a thousand trees become a forest.

The large trees on the outside protect the trees and creatures inside. Although they will fall, the entire forest can still thrive even in the face of disaster.

This is the unity and protection of the will of fire,

Shishui only said it once or twice when Itachi was a child. He didn't expect him to remember it until now, but he knew better how painful it was for Itachi to stand on his side—

Family on one side and friends on the other.

There is no need for that.

He thought of this and said, "Itachi, there is no need for you to join in. This is a contest and farewell between the new generation and the old generation. The new generation will eventually defeat the old. When we win, you can naturally join in, and no one will object. ."

Shisui knows Uchiha Fugaku well.

That person doesn't understand.

On the contrary, Fuyue is very smart, and Shishui believes that Fuyue may be a ninja with talent and thinking in the forefront of Uchiha after Madara, Quanna and others.

The only disadvantage is that it is easy to be coerced by other people, and some follow the crowd.

so.

He is very clear that Fuyue does not necessarily agree with the thinking of the older generation, but he cannot make the determination to give up and cut off.

Quan nodded lightly.

She also clearly agrees with Shishui's point of view.

However, Itachi hesitated for a moment before saying stubbornly, "That's different!"

Zhishui gave him a deep look, then looked at Quan: "Quan, I want to say a few words to Itachi alone."

"Yes!"

Quan left immediately.

Itachi bowed his head for training, but didn't show any timid expression.

"Itachi, do you really want to join in?"

"right."

"It's good for you to join in... It's naturally good, at least after the Lord's defeat, there is still some sustenance, and you won't go to extremes, but you will face great pain personally, do you understand what I mean?"

Shisui said seriously.

Itachi is different from him and rice fire. There are some things that he and rice fire can do, but itachi cannot, because he is the son of Fuyue and has been loved and trusted by Fuyue since he was a child.

His actions were regarded as betrayal by many.

"Being friendly with Konoha is the best result for our family and the village. I respect my father, but I don't agree with his philosophy, so... I won't regret it."

Itachi was firm and firm.

Shishui was silent for a few seconds, then sighed.

"Then you and Quan go to the guard team to sign up tomorrow. Now the guard team has a sound mechanism. Even the captain can't add members at will. Can you join in to see your own skills."

"Yes!"

Itachi's always calm face could not help but show a bit of joy at this time.

Shishui patted his shoulder.

"It's nothing to join the guard, but the last step, think about it for yourself, I won't interfere."

After Shishui finished speaking, he left in an instant.

Itachi clenched his fist happily, took a deep breath, and walked out of the forest of death.

"How about it?"

"Let's go to the Guards to sign up tomorrow. We can take the Guards Admissions Test. Let's train together. Your kunai control is not bad, but your ninjutsu and swordsmanship are still weaker."

"okay."

On the branches of the big tree under the setting sun, Zhishui watched the two go away side by side.
