This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"The matter has finally come to an end."

At night, at the dinner table,

Itachi was surprised to find that his father actually had a smile on his face.

Although it was stiff, it was indeed a smile.

This scene surprised both Itachi and Artoria.

"Itachi, I have already reached an agreement with Minato and the Sandaime."

Fugaku said to Itachi while drinking a small drink, "In the near future, a member of our clan will enter the ANBU for internship."

"If things go well, when you graduate from the Ninja School and are promoted to Chunin, the Yondaime will also arrange for you to join the Anbu for training for a period of time."

"As long as you two can establish a stable foundation in the Anbu, the tribe will follow your footsteps and slowly enter the Anbu."

ANBU...

Itachi was a little unfamiliar with this name, but he wasn't unfamiliar with it.

ANBU is a special assassination tactic unit affiliated with the Hokage, whose missions are directly arranged by the Hokage.

If Uchiha can enter the Anbu, it means that their clan will gradually be tied to the interests of the Hokage position and become a solid backing for each generation of Hokage.

In this way, although Uchiha will be in the dark, he will lose the opportunity to step into the position of Hokage.

But it can slowly take root in this village, instead of being isolated from Konoha's many decisions like the root of duckweed like before.

"Now, you can finally stay at home with peace of mind."

Mikoto carried the dishes and walked from the kitchen to the dining room.

Her belly has been around for several months now, and her belly is already slightly bulging, unlike before, and she doesn't look pregnant.

"Don't worry, as for the security team, I'll leave it to Uchiha Ha for the time being."

Fugaku smiled and nodded, "I will stay at home well in the next time."

As he said that, he looked at Itachi again, his eyes full of joy and satisfaction, "I heard your mother say that you have mastered the changes in the nature of chakra, which surprised me."

"Later, I will personally guide you on the changes in chakra form and the practice of illusion. You must be prepared."

Itachi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, father."

But after a pause, he added, "How about starting from the day after tomorrow?"

"I have been training with a few strong genin in the clan during this period. If I don't want to go, I need to tell them."

If he practiced with his father, he would not be able to practice with Hui and the others.

"A strong genin?"

Fugaku's smile paused, "Are they Uchiha Teru's group?"

Obviously, as the clan leader and captain of the Konoha Guards, Itachi knew very well who he often practiced with recently.

"Yes."

Itachi had no intention of hiding it.

"...It's up to you."

Uchiha Fugaku originally wanted to dissuade him, but remembering that the Fourth Hokage's matter had been settled, he changed his mind and said, "You try your best to appease them. If they have any radical actions or thoughts, you must report to me in time.

"

It is also a fact that Konoha and Uchiha have established diplomatic relations. External worries have been temporarily subsided, so next... internal worries should also be resolved.

However, Fugaku has not yet figured out how to deal with those tribesmen who have radical ideas.

Dispose of it directly?

He can't be cruel.

We are all Uchiha, and we are all working for the Uchiha group, but we just have different ideas and concepts.

As the leader of a clan, he cannot kill all others just because their ideas do not agree with his own.

"well……"

Thinking of this, Fugaku's mood, which had gradually relaxed due to the easing of relations with Konoha, became tense again...

…

The next day, Itachi left home as usual and went to the clan area on the edge of Konoha to practice.

Along the way, everything in Konoha was as usual, and there was no change after Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen visited yesterday.

No one seems to know what this means, nor that there has been any conflict between Uchiha and Konoha.

And in fact, it is indeed the case.

Regarding this, only a few people in Konoha Village know.

After all, the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha is only in the dark.

Konoha's attitude towards Uchiha is like a cold treatment, and Uchiha will not be called Uchiha in any activities of various ethnic groups in the village.

Therefore, most people in Konoha Village actually don't know that this is the first time since the death of Senju Tobirama that a Hokage has visited the Uchiha clan as a guest, and it is the third and fourth Hokage together.

After arriving at the training location, Uchiha Teru and the others had not arrived yet.

It was only after Itachi had completed his daily physical training and warm-up that Hui and the others hurried over.

And their faces are not pretty.

"Itachi, you're so early."

Uchiha Zen, who forced a smile, greeted Itachi, "Do you have any plans for actual sparring today? If possible, I would like to be your sparring partner."

"Hey, hey, it was you last time, it's my turn this time."

Next to him, Uchiha Teru replied dissatisfied.

"It's my turn, right? My injury is just right. I didn't participate in the first few opportunities."

Uchiha Rin was not to be outdone.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Zenchang and Uchiha Qi also joined in...

…

Itachi watched them arguing quietly.

"Their mental state...is not right."

Next to him, Arturia reminded.

"It can be seen that their elders are very concerned about what happened yesterday."

Itachi replied in his mind, "Do you think... I should take the initiative to mention this matter? Or treat it as if I don't know."

"After all, my father's and my ideas are different from those of their elders."

"In the past, we avoided conflicts and contradictions and tacitly agreed not to mention them, but now some things have to be brought to the table."

The conversations between Hui and others were the same as before. They were looking forward to actual combat with themselves every day of practice. It seemed that they felt that they could get greater enlightenment and progress from actual combat with themselves than competing with opponents of the same strength.

But... the dialogue is the same as before.

But Itachi could clearly notice that the demeanor of several of them had obviously changed.

Especially Hui, there were large bruises on his face, as if he had been slapped hard.

"This is your multiple choice question."

Arturia pondered for a moment, "But my suggestion is... any decision, once it reaches the necessary moment, never hesitate. Acting decisively is the most basic factor for a king."

“Considering too many gains and losses instead of looking forward and backward will lead to missed opportunities.”

"Whether you fail or not, make decisions decisively and learn to bear the consequences. Dare to bear the consequences is a necessary experience for a king."

Although it is a multiple-choice question, Artoria's meaning is already obvious.

In this case, Itachi thought for a moment and looked at the few people, "What do you think of the Fourth Hokage and the Third Hokage's visit yesterday?"
