This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Chapter 1: [First encounter, my name is Arturia Pendragon] Follow-up)

Konoha 48 years,

There are constant frictions at the borders between countries,

With the end of the new chunin exam, Tsunade, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, ran away with her chuunin Shizune.

The disappearance of the third Kazekage of Sunagakure,

The Sand Ninja who were already ready to move burned out their last shred of reason and officially marched towards Konoha, starting the precursor to the Third Ninja War.

Konoha 49, summer,

The disputes between countries have reached an irreconcilable level.

The new "Bi" of Kumogakure Village and the Raikage candidate, and the new "Ai" invaded the border of Konoha, fought against the golden flash, and were defeated.

winter,

The third Raikage died of exhaustion in the face of ten thousand Iwa ninja alone.

The death of the third Kazekage and the third Raikage officially defined the Third Ninja War.

The Seven Kirigakure members sneaked into the Land of Fire and secretly raided Konoha. They were stopped by Konoha genin Matdai. Four of the seven members died in the battle and three escaped.

The Uchiha team led by Uchiha Temple went to the Iwa Ninja Border Battlefield.

And as the leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku took Uchiha Itachi, who was only four years old, to follow the team and go to the battlefield for training.

Konoha 50 Years, Spring,

Kannabi Bridge was defined by the Kingdom of Fire as an important strategic location against the Kingdom of Earth. The Uchiha team headed by Uchiha Temple was dispatched...

"Itachi... wake up, Itachi!"

My father's worried voice sounded in my ears.

in tent,

Uchiha Itachi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes in a trance,

What caught his eye was his father's familiar face and anxious expression.

What's wrong with me?

Seeing him open his eyes, Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, you're okay."

"What happened, father."

Uchiha Itachi sat up and shook his head,

He only felt that his head was swollen, as if he had had a long, long dream.

"It's amazing that you killed an enemy who attacked by surprise." Fugaku replied softly, "You killed an Iwagakure genin at the age of five. He is worthy of being my son."

Iwagakure genin?

Uchiha Itachi recalled with difficulty,

I found a picture from that chaotic memory,

As the son of the Uchiha clan leader, he has been trained extremely hard since he was a child.

This time, I followed the main Uchiha team to experience the border battlefield with Iwagakure, and was responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

After another battle between the main forces, he met a still-breathing Iwa Ninja while cleaning up the battlefield.

And his prayer before dying was for a drink of water.

A very simple prayer, plus he has lost the ability to fight,

Out of good intentions, he poured out some water from the bottle he was carrying and moistened it on his lips.

But the next moment, the Iwa Ninja, who had lost the ability to fight, was like a mad lion, waving his kunai towards him,

Instinctively, he also used kunai to deal with it...

"The kunai in my hand felt resistance first, but it still cut his neck sharply."

"When the blood first spurted out, it was very hot and fishy."

"His eyes were stunned at first, and then they lost their look..."

Uchiha Itachi murmured,

Unconsciously recalling the touch, smell, and sight of the action...

Afraid? Panic? Disgusted?

There are all kinds of emotions!

"Itachi, what are you talking about?"

Itachi's mumbling was very small, his lips slowly opening and closing but no sound came out.

Uchiha Fugaku could only detect what he was saying, but he couldn't hear it clearly. He persuaded with concern: "It's your first time to kill someone. Even if you have been training for it, you will inevitably feel some psychological discomfort. As long as you get used to it, you will get better."

…”

Uchiha Itachi raised his head and was about to explain something, but his brows furrowed inexplicably, "...I'm fine, father."

His eyes were fixed on Uchiha Fugaku, and he resisted the urge to move away.

After a pause, Uchiha Itachi continued to ask: "But why did he want to kill me? I obviously have no ill intentions towards him..."

The person he spoke of was referring to the dead Iwa ninja.

The concern on Uchiha Fugaku's face paused, and then gradually subsided with a sigh, "Because this is war."

A look of confusion appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face, "War?"

Uchiha Fugaku replied calmly:

"It is not a fight between people, but a fight between countries."

"Senseless fights will occur between strangers."

"Even if you have no intersection with each other, you have never met before the blade turned, and you have never had any ill intentions towards each other, but under the influence of the war, you can only meet each other in arms."

Regarding this explanation, Itachi couldn't help but recall what he had seen and heard from the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, feeling disgust from the bottom of his heart, "So this is it..."

Hearing the disgust and rejection in Itachi's tone, Uchiha Fugaku scolded in a cold voice, "This is the world of ninjas, listen, Itachi."

"Don't forget all the scenes that appear before your eyes after you go to the battlefield this time."

"This is ninja, this is the nature of this world."

"If you can't adapt to your identity and this world as soon as possible, you will pay a very heavy price, even death!"

Although he was disgusted by this in his heart, Uchiha Itachi nodded calmly on the surface, pretending to be submissive and replied: "I understand, father."

But as he spoke, he rubbed his eye sockets again, with some distress on his face, "...Father, I think I need to calm down."

Next to him, Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a moment and replied without asking any more questions:

"One afternoon."

"We will rest here for an afternoon, and then we need to continue to the Kannabi Bridge in the evening."

"The next battle will be more intense. I hope you can adapt to this atmosphere as soon as possible and integrate into the war, even if you are participating in this battle as a logistics officer."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, "I know, father."

He has always been sensible, and it can even be said that he was born with extraordinary knowledge.

From the moment he was born, he seemed to have a completely different mindset and maturity than his peers.

While other children were still playing ninja games with great interest, at the age of five, he had followed his father to the front line as a logistics worker and felt the cruelty of war.

Is it cruel...

It wasn't until his father left and he was left alone that Uchiha Itachi had the opportunity to confirm the surrounding situation.

The small tent could not resist the smell of blood coming in along the breeze from outside.

He was probably still in the same position he was before he fell into coma, on the battlefield, but was protected by a temporary tent, shielding him from the scorching sun.

Uchiha Itachi's gaze did not pause and continued to glance to the side.

That was when my father was in the tent just now. He had been suppressing his gaze and not looking at the past corner.

The dim sunlight shines into the tent and shines on the blue and white armor.

A faint, soul-like shadow was standing quietly in the corner of the tent.

This is a beautiful girl who is dignified and heroic, and her whole body seems to be radiating light.

She has shawl golden hair and green eyes, and her facial features are delicate and sweet on her snow-white skin.

But it's a pity...

Under this blue and white armor that is tightly wrapped around his body and his frowning brows, and his heroic aura,

All her delicate, sweet, and childish looks are covered up, leaving only her impressive status in mind.

This is not so much a girl as a lonely queen.

Following Uchiha Itachi's gaze, the girl also looked this way.

She crossed her arms and looked calmly at Itachi sitting on the ground, and introduced herself, "This is the first time we meet, my name is Artoria Pendragon, and I am King Arthur of Great Britain."

His tone is calm and confident, just like his image of maturity and magnanimity.

And as she spoke, a handful of hair on the top of her head slowly stood up, or it could be said that it was blown by the breeze.

ps:

The new book Set Sail does not involve the plot of Fate itself, but only the character of Arturia, so even readers who have not understood Fate will not be affected.

Then...the pace of the book this time is a bit slow.

I am here asking for further reading, recommendation votes, monthly votes, and rewards.
