This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Under the night, the Uchiha clan is very peaceful.

After returning to a warm and comfortable environment, the ninjas who had not been home for a long time relieved themselves of their fatigue.

They were tender with their wives and chatted with their families...

The water called happiness slowly soothed their nerves that were tense from time to time due to the war, but it would take a long time to truly relax from that emotion.

As someone who had been on the battlefield, Itachi seemed much calmer than others.

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

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

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

Do you see your own shadow in me?

Recalling the conversation he had with her just now, Itachi could probably understand her thoughts.

Arturia believes that she is a failed king as far as Great Britain is concerned.

Protecting Great Britain has been a duty given to her almost since she was born, and the fact that this duty was not fulfilled was a huge blow to her.

What's even more fatal is that during this process, she didn't understand any errors or omissions in her rule.

Therefore, Artoria wants to cultivate herself and perfect her royal ways.

But will I become her shadow as she thinks?

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

Since I don't have any direction at the moment, why not try to listen to her ideas.

Anyway...

If you want to have the power to determine your destiny in this world, with her help, you may be able to go faster.

…

early morning,

after breakfast,

When Uchiha Itachi explained his request, Artoria looked a little surprised.

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

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

"After seeing your father's power, I understood one thing, that is, the power of ninja is far more powerful 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 ninja and choose another path."

"For me, it is not impossible to walk both paths together."

"Your Excellency Artoria, as someone who has read your memories, I know exactly what I am about to learn from you."

Although his demeanor and tone were calm, there was a sense of confidence in his words.

"Are the two roads going together..."

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

So soon, her expression became serious, "In this case, I will treat you as harshly as my teacher taught me. Please be prepared."

Itachi nodded, "Of course."

"So……"

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

"plz follow me."

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

After saying that, he first told his mother that he was going out, and he stepped in front to lead the way.

When leaving the tribe, 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 could tell that it was for instruction in practical combat.

In her memory, the first practical lesson she received was swordsmanship.

In swordsmanship, her teacher taught her the glory of knighthood.

"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 much stronger than ordinary humans, so I can directly practice swordsmanship."

"And you...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, "What is tested in this process is not just pure talent, but also requires a lot of hard work and sweat."

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

"Itachi, your talent may be very high, but the following guidance will test 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,

Arturia was sitting elegantly on a completely severed tree stump, with her waist and legs almost at a right angle of ninety degrees. "The royal family has everything in Great Britain, and the physical skills that their ancestors have mastered over generations are naturally the most extreme."

of."

"After a prince who can complete this kind of training becomes a king, even if his ability to govern the country is inferior to that of other countries, at least he will not be weaker than other countries in terms of bravery and will."

And it was not far away from her.

Under the sunlight, Uchiha Itachi was half-naked, maintaining an extremely strange posture.

Keep your spine straight, your feet bent, your left hand clenched into a fist, and your arms pointed vertically downward.

And on his thin body, he is fair and has no sense of strength.

But soon, as Itachi breathed and breathed,

The muscles all over his body seemed to come alive, moving flexibly, as if there was a small snake swimming around his body.

In fact, it was not a small snake, but the power of Qi and blood in the weasel's body, that is, pure physical energy.

call--

As the physical energy matched his unfolded posture under the control of consciousness, Itachi could feel his body getting heavier and heavier.

It's as if something is pressing on you, making you breathless.

Under this strong sense of oppression, my body felt more and more swollen.

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

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

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

"Otherwise... it will probably be like a fragile bridge under the rolling water, and it will be directly washed away."
