This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"Are you restless?"

Looking back at his father's leaving figure, Itachi had some thoughts in his mind.

Although the clan members have repeatedly persuaded him to support him in ascending to the throne, it sounds like his father really has no intention of competing for the fourth generation.

He has feelings for Konoha and is relatively safe in decision-making.

Itachi simply made the first level of judgment.

Now, after being influenced by Artoria's cultural classes, he is no longer the child who only knew how to think about life.

He now understands many social structures and interest structures...

The understanding of a village is not just that people gather together to form a village, and everyone helps each other... such a simple idea.

Since she was in the ninja world, Artoria certainly couldn't teach Itachi about the history of Great Britain, so she had studied and evaluated the history of Konoha, the Land of Fire, and the history of the ninja world.

In the process, Itachi also gradually understood through practical examples that war cannot be avoided, and this is the same as a country cannot be stable forever.

As long as a country exists, it will continue to face external enemies and internal strife.

And why does war exist? Because of interests, because of survival, because of desire...many, many factors.

When human beings have human nature and emotions such as emotions and desires, the fire of war cannot die out. It will always be provoked for various reasons. No one will be satisfied with the status quo.

And this knowledge also made Itachi understand what kind of impact it would have on this village and this country if his father, instigated by his tribe, really wanted to compete for the Fourth Generation position.

Although I don't know the specific relationship between the family and the village, judging from the words in their conversation, it should be on the bad side.

In this case, if the father wanted to take that seat, there should be many objections in the village.

These quarrels and disputes will push Konoha, which is still in the flames of war, further into a deeper abyss.

So my father's retreat was because he wanted the family to be stable, but at the same time, he probably also wanted the village to be stable.

This is what is called...thinking from a big picture perspective.

Itachi calmly acted as an observer and rationally deliberated...

…

"Swordsmanship? And it seems that I still prefer heavy swords..."

In the forest near the Uchiha clan, the area where Itachi often used as a training ground welcomed a "guest" - Uchiha Teru.

A new day ushered in, and Uchiha Teru came as promised, intending to "guide" his practice.

However, when he saw himself swinging a large sword that was almost the same size as his body, he seemed very surprised.

"I always feel like you're on the wrong track, Itachi."

Uchiha Teru looked at himself strangely, "Not to mention the fact that he eats slowly, even the weapons he uses are so unique."

"We Uchihas, combined with the Sharingan, are better at ninjutsu and genjutsu. However, in order to prevent ourselves from being biased, we will also learn taijutsu, swordsmanship, throwing... to assist."

"But our clan generally learns lighter fighting methods. Even medium-sized ninja weapons such as Fuma Shuriken are rarely used by our clan."

"It's good for you... you chose such a heavy iron sword. It doesn't look like a good match for our clan's Sharingan."

Although he proposed training together with the idea of ​​beating someone up, Fai, as a senior of the same clan, couldn't help but want to correct him when he saw that a talented family member like Itachi had gone astray.

"I'm just looking for a fighting method that suits me better."

Itachi explained casually and looked at him, "So... shall we start now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure standing in the distance in front of him, lazily picking out earwax with his little fingers, suddenly disappeared from sight.

Danger……

Itachi felt extremely calm as the person he was fighting suddenly disappeared from his eyes.

After all, the real enemy will not wait for you to start assassinating you.

His eyes swept around him calmly, controlling his breathing and heartbeat rhythm, while tensing his muscles to prepare for an attack at any time.

Rustling——

"left?"

Under the silence, Itachi's five senses slowly became sharper.

After noticing the faint footsteps on the left rear, he instinctively wanted to turn his waist and swing the iron sword towards the rear.

But suddenly, Itachi's waist that was already turning stopped, and instead of turning around, he swung the sword in his hand upward toward his eyes!

bite--

The clear sound caused by the collision of metal rang in my ears.

Itachi could clearly feel that the iron sword he was holding tightly in his hand violently touched the strong iron tool when he raised it.

The sound from the rear left is an illusion!

Itachi made his judgment immediately.

Then, the strength of the iron sword returning to his palm told him another fact.

The other party's strength is not as good as yours!

The iron tool that Uchiha Teru was holding was blown away!

Almost instinctively, the moment Itachi noticed that the opponent's weapon had been released, he tightened his grip on the sword hilt with both hands and forcibly pressed down the raised iron sword!

brake--

The sword edge fell straight down, and the strong force brought the strong wind and cut off the lawn in front of him, exposing the wet soil!

It fell into the air and Uchiha Teru escaped.

Is it an instantaneous body technique? Or a substitute technique?

Itachi's iron sword paused in mid-air, holding the sword in both hands and observing the surroundings calmly once again.

There was no unnecessary fluctuation on his face from beginning to end, and even his breathing and heartbeat were not changed by the violent movements.

"...how did you find out?"

Uchiha Teru's voice rang in his ears, or it sounded from all directions.

Itachi didn't answer, carefully discerning the source of his voice.

But if I have to answer... I probably noticed it because I was very serious, that's all.

"But your boy is really strong. Is it because you have done special strength training in order to better use this heavy sword?"

Hui's voice sounded again.

But this time, Itachi sensed some flaws in it.

It seems to be in the grass not far away...

But he did not choose to launch an attack, but quietly waited for Hui's offensive.

Itachi couldn't tell for the moment whether this flaw was a trap he deliberately exposed, just like the sound just now.

"Also...I remember that you have never had any experience against the enemy on the battlefield, right? Or do you have experience in fighting against ninjas? Why are you so calm?"

"How did it feel to kill someone for the first time? Did you vomit? Did you feel unwell?"

"But compared to killing people, have you ever thought about what would happen to your father and mother if you were killed? You should be very sad..."

Uchiha Teru's voice sounded one after another.

Sometimes there are flaws, and sometimes there are no flaws.

But regarding these contents, Itachi did not have any inner fluctuations. He just observed them calmly and did not take the initiative to launch an offensive.

"What a boring brat..."

"Then that's it!"

"Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"
