This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Whoosh whoosh——

The shurikens, which were as dense as raindrops, collided with each other in the air, approaching Itachi's direction at a speed and direction that was difficult to capture.

"Your test...it's time to end."

Deftly dodging the shuriken, Itachi watched Uchiha Aomon chasing after him again. While dodging his attack, he replied, "The movement here is already very loud. Although this is the edge area of ​​Konoha,

Do you want to attract ANBU's attention?"

When Uchiha Aomen heard this, a trace of hesitation appeared on his sinister face, "Do you think I'm testing you?"

"Isn't it?"

Itachi calmly stopped.

But Uchiha Aomen's movements did not slow down at all, and he threw out a kunai, flying towards Itachi like an arrow.

In response, Itachi did not dodge or even raise his hand, but just stared at the kunai flying towards his head with his eyes.

"You little brat, aren't you afraid of death?!"

Uchiha Aomen scolded him coldly.

Facing Itachi's indifference, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly threw out another kunai with greater force, trying to knock away the kunai that originally flew out.

But unfortunately, he really didn't expect that with the level and fighting rhythm Itachi had just shown, he would suddenly stop, so the kunai that flew out behind was obviously unable to catch up!

bite--

A clear sound came from Itachi's mouth.

The peak of the kunai was bitten firmly in his mouth with his teeth.

At the same time, his palm finally moved, he picked up a kunai and shot down another kunai that Qingmen later threw out.

This kind of throwing method with a single motion trajectory is not difficult to catch.

"Illusion, ninjutsu, taijutsu, reflexes, ninjutsu throwing, insight..."

Itachi took off the kunai with his teeth clenched, looked at Uchiha Aomon who was standing opposite with a frown, and said calmly, "Although your battle looks very real, you talk too much, and you obviously hold back."

In this fierce battle, can you still feel that I am conducting a test...

Fugaku's brat!

Uchiha Aomen frowned, looking impatient.

But in my heart, I had a new understanding that my son would have difficulty making a choice.

As Uchiha, no one would be willing to stand against such a five-year-old Chuunin.

Damn it, why is this brat a boy from the Fugaku family? Why can't he be the child of me, Kenji, or anyone in the Brave Sect?

If yes...

Qingmen believes that the future of Konoha will be led by Uchiha!

Not some bullshit Hokage, Hokage Advisor!

Holding a breath in his heart, Uchiha Aomen asked in a muffled voice: "Does your father know your strength?"

Itachi shook his head, "I don't know."

His father only knew that his talent was very good, but he did not know that his strength had truly reached the level of a chuunin.

After a pause, he looked at Qingmen again, "I hope...Uncle Qingmen, you can also help me keep my secret."

"oh?"

Uchiha Aomen sneered, "You are a brat, do you want to order me?"

Itachi did not waver at his sneer, "I am not strong enough to protect myself yet, so I hope that as the elder of Uchiha, you can help me keep the secret."

"Just like your father, a guy who looks forward and backward!"

Aomen's tone of evaluation seemed a bit disdainful, but he did not refute the title of Uchiha's elder, "Kid, time will prove that your father's idea is wrong."

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Teru Uchiha and the others in the distance, lifted the illusion, and turned around to leave.

Uchiha Aomen didn't agree to help Uchiha Itachi keep the secret, but he didn't object either.

As for... regarding the concept of peaceful coexistence with Konoha, he also did not express a goodwill attitude because of Itachi's persuasion.

But it doesn't seem very radical.

"Itachi, are you okay?"

As soon as the illusion was lifted, Uchiha Zen and others collapsed on the ground with pale faces.

Only Uchiha Teru still had some mobility and staggered to Itachi's side.

Looking at the messy environment, he hesitated and asked: "Have you... ever fought against my father?"

The charred earth and tree branches, although the flames transformed by chakra have disappeared due to the dissipation of chakra, the air still contains the residual heat of fire escape.

"We had a brief fight."

Itachi nodded, not denying it.

But after a pause, he added, "He has always given in to me and held back, so you don't have to blame your father."

Itachi didn't want to cause cracks in the relationship between Fai and Aomon and his son because of his relationship.

"But today he did use me to come here."

Hui's face was full of anger, but soon he looked at Itachi apologetically, "I'm sorry, Itachi, I didn't keep my promise."

"Don't worry, maybe your father doesn't intend to expose my strength."

Itachi comforted him.

At this time, Zen and the others finally came to their senses and helped each other over.

However, several people's faces were still pale, and even their clothes were wet with sweat.

I don't know what kind of illusion Uchiha Aomen cast on them to make them suffer so much.

"...Itachi, are we still friends?"

After walking over, Zen asked hurriedly, "Can we still practice together?"

He didn't want their relationship to end because of some differences in stance.

The others were also looking at Itachi nervously.

Although, Itachi spoke very little and seemed very indifferent.

In the process of practicing with them, I rarely integrate with them.

Most of the time, Itachi practiced alone.

But this does not affect the Zen people's feeling of... admiration for Itachi.

Yes, the more they got to know Itachi, the more they felt a sense of admiration and respect in their hearts.

He is obviously just a child, but the maturity in his actions far exceeds that of each of them.

Occasionally, when he and others have conflicts due to each other's words and actions during sparring, Itachi can also mediate their relationship and emotions very well.

At the beginning, they may have really wanted to have more contact with Itachi in sparring and learn from his progress because of his strength.

But later, they were actually impressed by Itachi in every aspect of their lives.

Everything he said and did seemed to be different from the ninja they knew.

Whether it's his elegant way of eating, his respect for his enemies in battle, or his politeness in life, he is exceptionally different.

But this difference did not make Zen and others feel repelled or disgusted.

On the contrary, this difference seemed extremely natural, as if Itachi was the handsome young man he was supposed to be.

In front of Itachi, even the cynicism they used to love was much less common now.

"Recently, my father has started to take a vacation, so he will guide my practice."

Itachi said about the purpose of coming here, "I also want to say goodbye to you this time."

"You don't have to wait for me anymore in the next period of time."

"About this, I hope you don't misunderstand. We are still friends, but I have other things to do."

Hearing this, the expressions of several people were a little gloomy, and Zen asked again: "...What about the future? It is impossible for the patriarch to rest at home all the time, so what about the days to come?"

"I will go to ninja school next year, and after the fourth generation is selected, your vacation seems to be almost over."

Itachi replied, the implication being that maybe after his father's instruction ends, there won't be any time to practice together.

But after he finished speaking, when faced with the gloomy expressions of several people, he blurted out, "But you can definitely come to my house as a guest. My mother really hopes that I can make more friends."

"By the way, my mother's cooking skills are also good."

"About this, you can ask Hui. He came to my house for dinner once before."
