This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

The remaining light of spring falls on the low wall,

Walls and cliffs surround the entire Konoha Village.

At this moment, in front of a huge iron gate made of fine iron at the entrance of the village, ninjas who had returned from the battlefield gathered.

The soles of their feet were covered with mud, their bodies were wrapped in bloody bandages, and their aura was cold and permeable.

But other than that, the light in their eyes was full of softness and nostalgia.

Looking at the familiar village entrance in a daze, Itachi's dark eyes reflected Konoha, and he had many thoughts in his heart.

From the time he set foot on the battlefield last winter until his return this summer, only a few months have passed.

With the intention of learning, he followed his father on the battlefield.

But unfortunately, I didn't learn much. Whenever there was a war, I always waited for the end of the war in the rear.

And when I really had the opportunity to observe the battlefield, I couldn't clearly see their movements with my own dynamic vision.

If you can only see the beginning and result of the battle, but cannot observe the process, then you lose the opportunity to learn.

But even so, Itachi still had a lot of feelings about this war.

For example...

The heaviness in my heart when I shoulder something.

"Huomen, Yu, after entering the village, you two will go to the Hokage Building with me to report on the progress of the mission."

Standing at the forefront of the crowd, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the two older-looking jounin in the team, "Others must not cause trouble when they return to their clan."

He said the last few words very solemnly.

"yes!"

A unanimous reply sounded from every Uchiha's mouth.

Joy, impatient, relieved, sad, calm...

Itachi could hear a lot of emotions in each of the answers.

And his own mood was also ups and downs.

Before leaving home, he didn't feel anything when leaving home, but now that home is right in front of him, he does miss it a little in his heart.

After all, my mother is still at home.

Thinking of his mother, Itachi unconsciously turned his attention to his father at the front of the team.

After the death of Uchiha Temple, his father assumed the position of temporary commander, so along the way, he did not take him with him or protect him as before, but arranged for himself to go with Uchiha Teru.

So along the way, there was basically no dialogue between father and son.

Itachi felt that his father was angry with him.

Because he delayed the opportunity to fight, he killed his important friend.

The team did not stay at the entrance of the village for long, blocking the entry and exit of other pedestrians.

After a little rectification, Uchiha Fugaku verified his identity information with the garrison at the entrance of the village, led the team, and slowly walked through the iron gate and entered the scope of Konoha Village.

The entire team did not move at the same speed as when they were on the road, but slowly walked along the main street towards the core area of ​​Konoha.

Mixed in the group, Itachi could feel the glances coming from the pedestrians on both sides of the street.

Envy, desire, excitement...

These emotions were something Itachi had never felt when he left.

Because he and others went on an expedition for Konoha and the Country of Fire, so after returning, did they show relative respect?

Itachi somewhat understood what the so-called glory meant.

"Is this Konoha?"

A curious voice sounded in Itachi's ear.

Arturia's figure appeared next to Itachi, her eyes looked sharply at the surroundings, and she said with a smile:

"Compared with the capital of Great Britain, Konoha Village is much simpler."

"But this feeling of being noticed reminds me of the scene when my people bowed their heads to welcome the king every time they returned from an expedition."

"Itachi, do you feel the desire for this sense of honor?"

Wearing blue and white light armor, she followed Itachi with her head held high and her chest raised, showing a sense of confidence and pride in her movements.

This kind of Artoria made Uchiha Itachi feel a little stunned, but he quickly remembered her changes.

On the battlefield, the person in front of Artoria was the king known as King Arthur.

Her eyes and her posture had almost never changed in his eyes.

Neither the sacrifice nor the battle situation could make her already cold heart beat.

At that time, King Arthur was almost inhumane, like a cold machine, only calculating gains and losses.

But now, Artoria is more suitable for another title in her memory, that of King of Knights.

When she has emotions, she will feel pride like a human being, and feel happy for the envy and recognition of others.

This may be what she looked like before she gave up the honor of being a knight.

Itachi made a guess in his mind.

Unlike on the battlefield, after returning to Konoha Village, even if there were many people, Itachi could relatively relax and observe the king without having to worry about being discovered by others or whether he had been deceived by illusions.

Regarding Artoria's inquiry, he explained from his heart:

"Ninja is a profession that focuses on efficiency."

"Compared with comfort and quality, buildings that are convenient for ninja movement will be more popular. If the king wants to understand the prosperity of the Fire Country, it may be more appropriate to go to Daming Mansion."

"As for...the sense of honor, well, I feel it a little bit."

"Just a little?"

Artoria was a little disappointed, "It's okay, I believe you will know what country is and what fighting to defend the country means."

As she said that, she turned her attention to the street again, "Are they more practical buildings? Indeed, if you ninjas use chakra, you can easily move on these low buildings, which is very convenient for sudden gatherings or

Fight."

"However, judging from the clothes and behaviors of the people on the street, it seems that your culture does not have many requirements for etiquette. This is not conducive to the consolidation of class, but it also makes this village more relaxed and life-like."

"Wait a minute, hot springs, casinos, game centers, barbecue restaurants... Konoha seems to pay great attention to the development of entertainment. Is it so that ninjas can relax better during their rest? Unimaginable policies and responses..."

As they marched, Artoria kept sighing, and combined the contents of Uchiha Itachi's memory to understand Konoha.

She was even more amazed when she learned that there was an educational institution called a school in Konoha to train ninjas.

Following her comments, Itachi slowly recalled in his mind what Great Britain had to say in this regard.

In Artoria's country, knowledge and books are in the hands of the nobles and are private property.

Therefore, only the children of princes and nobles will receive knowledge education.

For poor people and civilians, if they want to get an education, they need to have a certain amount of luck, be appreciated by the nobles, or perform military exploits during times of war.

This means that as long as wealthy people don't make mistakes and provoke enemies more powerful than themselves, they can continue to be wealthy, while people who are incapable of making changes will be incompetent for almost their entire lives.
