This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

night,

In the dark room, Itachi slowly walked into the room holding a pile of scrolls.

For a whole day, he studied the use of ninjutsu under the guidance of his father.

But it's more of a "show" than a guide.

For almost a day, Uchiha Fugaku used different fire escape techniques.

From the art of grand fireball, to the art of Phoenix Immortal Fire, and then to the art of grand dragon fire...

Of course, in addition to fire escape techniques, Fugaku also did not forget to teach some basic techniques, such as transformation techniques, substitute techniques, clone techniques, and advanced versions of shadow clones and instantaneous techniques...

The reason why the progress is so fast is because Fugaku's affairs are very busy as he said.

He only got today's rest by asking for leave.

As the clan leader, although no one can interfere with Fugaku's holidays, he does not allow himself to neglect his duties.

All he could do was use this day off to help his son officially embark on the road of ninja.

"Congratulations, Itachi."

Arturia, wearing blue and white armor, slowly appeared in the room, "From today on, you can be considered a real ninja."

There was a rare joy on her face, and it was very novel for her to formally come into contact with the cultivation system of another world.

While stuffing the scroll in his hand into the bookcase according to the level of the technique, Itachi stared at her for a long time before nodding blankly, "Yes."

"What's wrong? You look absent-minded."

Artoria looked at him with some confusion.

Shouldn't learning ninjutsu be a joyful thing?

Itachi did not answer immediately, but after placing the scroll, he stood up and bowed to her solemnly to thank her.

"I'm bothering you again this time, Sir Artoria, thank you very much."

His tone was serious.

Artoria hesitated for a moment, "What's going on?"

"Without you, I might have always misunderstood my father as an irresponsible person for the family, let alone the things and pressures he faced."

Itachi explained seriously, and it was rare for him to show his true emotions in his demeanor, "In the past, I was too arrogant. I thought that if I knew a person well enough, I could understand his behavior and habits without asking."

"But now I'm wrong. Maybe... communication is the most correct way. Unfounded speculation has no meaning."

"I cannot fully understand a person, let alone have a dialogue with myself on his behalf."

Although today's learning tasks are very tedious, I have been observing and analyzing the use of various techniques.

But at the same time, Itachi felt even more guilty for his father.

He couldn't imagine how he would have misunderstood him without Artoria and the attempts and communication facilitated by her.

Maybe... I will regard him as a person who has no responsibility for his family and is only obsessed with power.

Because he didn't know what kind of pressure he was facing, and he didn't know that in his heart, he wanted the Uchiha clan to settle down more than power.

And as time goes by, maybe he and his father will become farther and farther apart.

Unable to reach a consensus, unable to stop and communicate, the gap between each other grew larger and larger, until finally trust was lost.

"In that case, I accept your thanks."

Hearing Itachi's explanation, Artoria smiled and nodded.

But soon, she continued:

"But one thing I want to remind you is that not everyone can communicate."

"Only with people you truly trust can you solve some problems through communication."

"And if you are facing your enemy, it is actually not a wrong choice to carefully figure out and imitate his ideas."

"I understand."

Itachi replied that he was not a fool. Communication could achieve effective results with his father, but it could not be applied to everyone.

Compared to others, I learned to communicate first and then learn to hide. I just reversed this process, that's all.

"But as the leader of the clan, your father is very competent."

But soon, Artoria talked about today's events again, "He already has a certain overall view, but he may be more hesitant and emotional in some decisions."

"If I hadn't been following you, I would have had the opportunity to see your father's family life."

"I simply can't imagine that such a rigid and serious-looking person could actually be an emotional person."

Having said this, she turned her attention to Itachi again.

In fact, the same was true for Itachi. If she hadn't been by his side all the time, Artoria would never have been able to imagine that a five-year-old child could have so many thoughts in his heart.

"No matter what, I am more determined to practice hard."

Itachi looked firmly at the stacks of scrolls on the bookshelf.

The family's situation is not stable, perhaps because of this, my father hopes that he will grow up as soon as possible.

He hopes to protect the family, his mother hopes that he will become stronger to reassure her, and his father hopes that he can meet the standards to succeed him as soon as possible.

Even so, you have to work hard.

"The next training plan will be more practical."

"In the morning, I will train my body, and in the afternoon, I will familiarize myself with the ninjutsu. In the evening... just read these scrolls. As for the original cultural courses, I will study them in my dreams."

"If we are directly in the dream, we can also omit a lot of preparations and directly construct the scene and items using illusion."

Itachi suggested.

"But if this is the case... your spirit will not be able to bear it."

Artoria did not agree with this suggestion and made a correction, "You have already made a simple attempt to learn in a dream."

"Although I can get a good rest physically, my spirit is always active."

"Let's just keep the basic four hours of sleep every day and try it for a while first."

As she taught Itachi for longer and longer, she gradually became like a teacher, no longer copying her own training plan as before.

"By the way, I still need to take a while to spend a day or half a day with my mother."

Itachi remembered something again.

Although her mother said she hoped she would practice well, she did not reject his company too much, she just didn't want him to take away her daily chores.

"Then...there's Teru Uchiha."

"That guy is a talker. He knows that I have begun to develop the strength of a genin, so he will inevitably spread the word."

"You have to seal his mouth quickly before he reacts. Otherwise, you may not be able to hide your talent if you agree to it."

Itachi chattered with Artoria about what he planned to do in the next period of time.

What he didn't know was that during this process, Artoria's usually calm eyes gradually softened.

Finally... I'm willing to talk to myself more about what's in my heart.
