This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

The ancient vines spread and the overgrown woods completely replicated the situation when Itachi was on the battlefield and the team was ambushed by the Iwagakure ninja.

The gaps between trees are extremely small, and there are even many branches that are intertwined and growing.

The dense grass shows no trace of human construction at all, almost reaching the level of the ferret's thighs.

The only difference between this place and the original one is probably that it was pitch dark night then, but now it's bright daytime.

But this is already a good training environment for a beginner.

Artoria thinks so.

And next, Weasel, standing in the dense weeds, perfectly showed her what it means...genius!

Calm attitude, calm response and steady patience.

In the state of being a spirit body, Artoria was not affected by illusions from the perspective of a spectator, and could clearly see how Itachi responded in a way that was close to that of a veteran in combat from the moment Uchiha Teru made a move.

this battle.

Artoria's eyes were full of appreciation and satisfaction.

Maybe my expectations for him were really right, and he could really become a better king than himself.

"Fire escape?"

But soon, with the last words spoken by Uchiha Teru, Artoria's eyes suddenly changed.

Danger, caution and suspicion...

Could it be that Uchiha Aomon planned to use Itachi as a threat after he came to negotiate with Itachi's father yesterday but failed?

Sure enough, that guy doesn't look like a peaceful person!

Unfortunately, Itachi, who had always been very alert, did not react.

Instead, he stood there blankly, as if he was bewitched by some kind of illusion.

What's going on?

Artoria frowned and just wanted to remind her.

But soon, she paused.

During the battle, huge fireballs came from all directions at the same time, the weeds ignited, and the soil turned black.

Itachi's eyes reflected the blazing fire,

Scorching fire waves, soaring scalding temperatures, and a strong sense of crisis...

All of this made Uchiha Itachi feel a slight surge in his heart. It was no longer as calm as before, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

But he still didn't move. He faced the terrifying fireball, and his whole body was directly engulfed by the flames burning from all directions.

The next moment, Itachi saw that his skin was festering under the hot temperature, and his body was melting like a popsicle.

I smelled a strong burning aroma, as if I was on the battlefield, handling the corpses that had been burned by fire as a logistics support.

You can hear your bones, muscles, meridians, and blood... making a sizzling sound like barbecue being placed on a baking sheet.

The fire continued to spread, and the entire mass ignited. The picture was very real, and Itachi's feelings were also very real.

But from beginning to end, he never moved,

Itachi held the iron sword in both hands and faced directly in front of him,

It's like you can't see those fireballs, you can't feel the temperature, and you don't know that your body is being devoured by flames.

Time passed bit by bit, and his eyes were always calm.

Slowly, all the changes in the woods engulfed by flames, the charred soil, and the melting bodies were dissipating.

Until finally, everything around returns to its original appearance.

"If I were you, I would pretend to be under an illusion, lure the opponent into action, and kill the enemy."

Uchiha Teru's voice sounded again. Although he gave advice, his tone was full of surprise and confusion.

It seemed that... he couldn't understand why Itachi, a five-year-old child, could be so calm in such a battle.

"I'll take note of it, thank you for your suggestion."

Itachi politely replied that he had never thought about the tactic of pretending to be attacked and luring the enemy into action.

"What a pity, my illusion seems to have no effect on you."

Soon, Uchiha Teru's figure helplessly appeared in Itachi's field of vision, "You can't use lethal ninjutsu. I originally wanted to simply use illusion to get rid of you, but now I think about it..."

Bang--

Before he finished speaking, Uchiha Teru flew backwards, his face full of shock.

Isn’t that all the strength that he used to fly his kunai just now? And this speed...

One second ago,

The moment Uchiha Teru's figure appeared in his field of vision, Itachi's originally tense body moved suddenly.

Chakra gathers in the legs like water, and as the muscles exert force instantly, the force and chakra are transmitted to the left foot at the same time.

Then, his body shot out like a cannonball,

In almost less than a second, Uchiha Itachi appeared in front of Uchiha Teru, holding the sword in both hands and slashing again!

Its speed was completely different from Itachi's previous slow and passive appearance, which made Uchiha Teru unable to react at all and mobilize the chakra in his body to dodge, and he only had time to pull out his kunai and block it in front of him.

Then, he flew out completely.

But Itachi's offensive was not over yet. After flying Uchiha Teru away with one sword,

He followed the flying figure again and slashed with his sword with faster speed and power!

But unfortunately, this time Uchiha Teru reacted and used the Substitute Technique in time, leaving only a chopped piece of wood.

In an instant, Itachi's figure once again returned to a still state from an active state.

The chakra surging in his body slowly converged,

The qi and blood that surged in the body due to the violent movements also returned to a stable state.

All the manifestations on his body made Uchiha Teru, who was already hiding, stunned for a while.

Could it be that I was also under an illusion just now?

No, impossible!

This kid definitely swung two swords at me just now!

And with two simple sword strikes, he almost killed himself!

That strength... Uchiha Teru's palms are now a little numb.

How did a five-year-old kid develop such power?

Could it be that he has been specializing in physical training, just like the Hyuga clan?

No, that's not right. The control of chakra flow in Uchiha Itachi's body just now was also unimaginable. He must have worked hard in this regard.

But where does a five-year-old child find the time to learn so many things?!

And there is still half a year to go on the battlefield!

Did he start cultivating from his mother’s womb?!

As a talkative person, Teru Uchiha had a lot to say, but at this time he could only keep complaining in his heart.

"Maybe... you can try using the Sharingan."

At this moment, Itachi's calm voice sounded in Uchiha Teru's ears.

"I haven't learned ninjutsu yet, and I don't have the confidence to really suppress a ninja who has been on the battlefield."

"But if it's the Sharingan, I think I can accept it."

"If you use the Sharingan, you might be more suitable as my enemy."

Stop looking down on others!

Flames of anger surged out of Uchiha Teru's heart, and the next moment, countless shurikens were fired at Uchiha Itachi from different directions in the woods.

If I, a genin, beat you, a brat who has not yet gone to school, do I still need the Sharingan?

Do you really think I was captured because I was too weak?
