Konoha Qiweiju

The guarded look in his eyes didn't look like that of a five-year-old child at all. Instead, he looked a bit like a ninja who had been fighting in the ninja world for many years.

Some people are destined to become ninjas from birth.

Uchiha Itachi is such a person.

At the age of five, he already possesses the basic qualities of a ninja.

Moreover, he has also been on the battlefield.

This is Itachi's life.

It was destined to be a legend from the beginning.

Not everyone can see war when they are four or five years old.

Not even Kakashi can.

Because he doesn't have a father like Uchiha Fugaku.

After all, taking a four-year-old child to the battlefield to experience cruelty is something that the average father really cannot do.

You can't be as cold as White Teeth.

Seeing Itachi's wary expression, Shinshu raised the grilled fish in his hand and said, "I am a cook, the owner of Shichimiju, Uzumaki Shinshu."

"Uzumaki Shinsu? Uzumaki clan?"

At a young age, Itachi already has a lot of knowledge reserves.

One of them is the list of Konoha's great clans.

The Uzumaki clan, this obscure clan is listed after the Senju, Uchiha and Hinata.

Although there is no specific place of residence in Konoha, their clan emblem is engraved on the uniform of every Konoha ninja.

The Uzumaki clan is the hidden third clan that established Konoha.

The surname Uzumaki is naturally eye-catching, but the name Shichimiju is also quite resounding.

Ordinary people may not know it, but the upper echelons of the Uchiha clan know it very well.

What is the status of Shichimi living in Konoha?

There lives an immortal Uzumaki tribesman.

There are people who are at least in their sixties now, but they still look like teenagers.

Rumor has it that its strength is even more astonishing.

But no one has seen it.

Even when Fugaku mentioned Shichimiju, he only used four words.

Unfathomable.

Just because Shichimiju once had a close relationship with the first and second generations, people from the Uchiha clan basically would not set foot there.

Especially after Jing died.

After hearing what Fugaku told about Shichimiju, the young Itachi also remembered it in his heart.

But I didn't expect to see Zhen Xiu in this place.

"Oh? You know me?"

Itachi shook his head, he really didn't know Zhen Xiu.

I just heard the legend of Qiweiju.

"That's a shame. But what were you doing just now? Performing performance art?"

Zhenxiu pointed to the cliff with a height of tens of meters and asked curiously.

Itachi shook his head. Although he didn't understand what Zhenxiu meant by performance art, he also understood that the other party was probably asking him why he jumped off the cliff.

"I just want to explore the meaning and difference between life and death."

Zhenxiu was stunned when he heard this, put down the grilled fish on his lips, and looked seriously at the five-year-old child in front of him.

Wonderful.

A five-year-old child is already thinking about such a question.

And also think in this way.

He is simply a prodigy.

No wonder the Third Hokage said that Itachi was able to look at problems with the Hokage's way of thinking when he was seven years old.

What a precocious guy.

It's just that people who mature early are generally not very happy inside.

In other words, there are far fewer things that can make them happy than their peers.

"So have you got the results?"

Zhenxiu said with a smile, he suddenly became interested in this young man.

Itachi still shook his head.

"No. At that moment, I seemed to have touched death, but it seemed that I didn't. I was very confused."

After learning the true cultivator's identity, Itachi also lost his guard.

In addition, this was not a time when he couldn't explain it to others, so he simply said it.

"I see. But I'm afraid it's difficult to get an answer to this question."

Zhenxiu touched his chin and said in as serious a manner as possible.

"Don't you know either?"

Itachi blinked curiously and looked at Zhen Xiu.

"As a chef, I am often exposed to life and death. For example, the grilled fish in my hand was alive and kicking half an hour ago, but after an hour, it was already dead. Life and death are...

Such a simple thing."

Hearing this, Itachi fell into thinking.

But soon, this thought was monopolized by hunger.

Gulu!

My stomach is ringing.

Itachi was quite embarrassed.

Zhenxiu laughed, handed the half-left grilled fish to Itachi, and said, "Here is this for you to eat."

"Isn't it bad?"

Although Itachi refused, the smell of the grilled fish kept flowing into his nose, stimulating his appetite.

Saliva is secreted uncontrollably.

Some of people's desires are beyond their control.

Just like drooling.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, just eat."

"Then you won't eat?"

"I just need to catch two more fish. It's not difficult for me."

Itachi looked at Zhen Xiu, as if wondering what he was going to do.

Seeing this, Zhenxiu said: "Aren't you curious about the difference between life and death? Now I can show you the transformation between life and death."

Before Itachi could understand the meaning of Zhenxiu's words, Zhenxiu had already taken action.

I saw him picking up a pebble in front of him and throwing it into the creek.

Huge water splashed up, and two fish actually flew up.

Zhenxiu picked up the bamboo on the side and swung it hard. The bamboo was like a sharp sword and shot straight towards it.

Impartially, the bamboo stuck through the bodies of the two fishes.

This is not over yet.

While throwing the bamboo, Zhen Xiu also threw two pebbles, showing an incredible angle.

The first one is extremely fast, and the second one is even faster.

The first stone hit the front end of the flying bamboo at an angle, and the second stone hit the back end of the bamboo.

When the two touched at the same time, the bamboo actually spun like a boomerang.

It spun back and forth in mid-air, and then fell into Zhen Xiu's hands.

The series of operations left Itachi stunned.

Can you still play like this?

If this were replaced by a shuriken, it would be an extremely terrifying shuriken control technique.

It is not inferior to the shuriken technique of the Uchiha clan.

Even more so.

Itachi was stunned.

"You see, from the moment I take action, the fish lives and dies in an instant. The fish has completed the meaning of its life, which is to fill my stomach. Of course, this is the meaning of the fish to me, but for

For fish, this means nothing. The meaning of life is always relative. The key lies in what you think."

Shinshu's words brought Itachi back from the shock.

The key is what do you think?

Itachi felt as if the closed door suddenly opened because of these words.

He seemed to have figured out a lot of things.

Is that so?

Itachi felt suddenly enlightened.

Looking at the grilled fish he took in his hand, Itachi felt even hungrier.

"Now, let's eat the fish first."
