This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Returning to the clan, Itachi said goodbye to the Zen friends who were silent along the way, and set out on his way home.

"No, power is not absolute. At least... you should take other things into consideration."

Beside him, Arturia always believed in this point and put forward a different opinion about her own opinion, "Maybe you haven't met too many people and can't decipher the content from some details of their expressions.

"

"From today's conversation, the information we can currently understand is that Sakamoto Yusheng and the daimyo of the Land of Fire have been paying attention to the situation in Konoha Village."

"Sangada Shan and other nobles have not understood that the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha has eased, but Sakamoto Yusheng knows very well that this is information we can get."

Itachi nodded, this was something Mu Yong questioned.

"And apart from this known information, you may not be aware of it."

Artoria continued, "In the beginning, Sakamoto Yusheng's attitude toward you changed because of your status as the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader."

"But his attitude is more blunt and cautious. Especially regarding their relationship with Konoha and the words between nobles and ordinary people, he is even more cautious, for fear of leaking any inappropriate remarks."

"And later, when you showed your etiquette and your knowledge, although he was still cautious about you, he gradually started talking about some things they thought."

At this point, she emphasized one point, "It's not that he treats you as a peer and treats such superficial issues."

"Rather, he wants you to know more about their lives and shows his appreciation for you."

"Tough power can only make those who believe that the strong be respected surrender."

"For those who don't value strength, but care more about wisdom or other aspects, only by letting them appreciate you can you gain their heartfelt respect and support."

"This is the core point in communication and also the most complicated point."

"People's thoughts are not the same. In most cases, you need to follow the herd and learn from the majority of people's thoughts and disguise them until you successfully change most people and let most people follow your footsteps..."

She talked nonstop.

Inadvertently, we talked about some theories about taking sides, governing the country, etc.

And Itachi could understand her thoughts.

Artoria is a very powerful king, sitting on the dragon's blood, the treasure house of human wisdom, the holy sword and the scabbard given by the spirit in the lake...

In the era when gods came to an end, she could almost be called a divine existence on earth.

But the invincible Artoria could not rely on this absolute power to lead Britain to success, and could only die with hatred amid civil strife and the division of the kingdom.

Before they knew it, the two of them walked and chatted and returned home.

Looking at the familiar mansion, Itachi suddenly realized that going out today was not as relaxing as he imagined.

"Tomorrow... let's go out again, just the two of us."

Itachi suggested.

It was rare for Artoria to be interested in activities other than teaching him, so he didn't want to end it so hastily.

Today, except for the beginning, the two of them had time to communicate alone.

From then on, she always followed him closely, and from time to time she would point out the rhythm of the conversation between herself and Sakamoto Yusei.

This result is more like a practical cultural lesson.

"No."

Arturia shook her head and rejected the proposal.

"I'm not interested in the celebration, I'm just interested in the Fire Country and the Daimyo."

"Now, I roughly know the status of daimyo and other ordinary people in this country."

"In that case, you'd better not waste your practice time, and don't go out for a walk with me."

Itachi was silent for a moment, and finally stepped into the house without speaking.

As a close friend, he really hopes that Artoria can truly integrate into this world, instead of being immersed in the sorrow of the past alone.

But apart from enjoying delicious food and guiding his own growth, he didn't know what else Arturia was interested in.

When he returned home, the first thing Itachi saw was his father already waiting in the living room.

Taking off his shoes, he stepped into the house.

"Today...you met the daimyo's second son."

Words of affirmation rang out from Uchiha Fugaku's mouth. His face was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or worried.

"We met on the road and had some minor conflicts, but they were resolved quickly."

Itachi sat down opposite Fugaku, "After chatting, Sakamoto Yusheng had a good impression of me, so we went to some activities in Konoha together."

He was not surprised that his father knew about his schedule today.

As the second son of a daimyo, Sakamoto Yusei would definitely be protected by ANBU secretly when he was in Konoha.

In addition, their actions did not mean to conceal their itinerary. They appeared on the street openly and openly with the flow of people, so it was natural for my father to notice.

"It's a good thing to be on good terms with Damingfu, but don't be too close."

Fugaku nodded, "Bypassing the Hokage and contacting people from the Daming Mansion is an act of overstepping one's boundaries."

"And the people of Daming Prefecture and the nobles of Kyoto Prefecture are not fuel-efficient lamps."

"Secretly, their attitude towards ninjas is not friendly. They are just forced to provide funds and resources to Konoha stably due to their strength."

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and pushed several scrolls placed on the table in front of Itachi.

"These are several volumes of information about Daming Prefecture and Kyoto Prefecture."

Speaking of intelligence, Fugaku's face became serious, "The clan's external intelligence agency has never been fully established. It only has a prototype, so the existing intelligence information is very precious."

"This is information that only a clan leader is qualified to read. It should be very helpful for you to understand these nobles."

"Itachi, read this information as soon as possible and then destroy it."

In the past, his guidance to Itachi in analyzing this kind of situation was all verbal.

As Itachi's speech gradually matured, and his vision even vaguely surpassed that of himself as an adult, Fugaku decided to directly hand over the information to Itachi and let him try to understand and analyze it himself.

Itachi didn't follow the rules and pretended to decline. Instead, he directly took the information scrolls and said, "I understand, father."

"Go to bed early."

Looking at this child who lived up to his high expectations, Uchiha Fugaku's serious expression softened a little, "Ninja school will start in a while, and I will take you to report it and introduce you to a few people by the way."

"As for spiritual practice... I have nothing left to teach you."

"The knowledge you have mastered has fully equipped you with the foundation of a ninja, and what you have to do next is to master it."

"Later, I will help you find a suitable sparring partner. He is a ninja who is not inferior to you in talent and not inferior to me in strength."

"I hope you can take it seriously by then."
