This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

When the armor Artoria was wearing fell on the eaves, there was no dull sound like a heavy object falling on the eaves.

But from Itachi's field of vision, it was obvious that several tiles were shaking slightly.

Arturia didn't notice this, but looked at Itachi helplessly, "But this is not a mission."

"It's also important to balance work and rest, Itachi, don't tighten your nerves all the time."

"In addition to fighting and family, you also have daily life, family, and friends."

She was afraid that Itachi would gradually lose interest in life and life if he was immersed in something he didn't like for too long.

"If I can settle down, I will try to relax."

Itachi did not refuse, "But speaking of food, I kind of miss the meatball shop at Uchiha Izumi's house."

"You can't have just one choice in life, you have to learn to accept other flavors of food."

Arturia was very disdainful of Itachi's obsession with sweets, "But if it leaves a good impression on her, maybe I can get a discount when I buy meatballs from her house in the future."

"...To get to know her for a discount?"

Itachi gave her a strange look, "It's too utilitarian."

At the same time, he felt a little emotional about Artoria's words.

Perhaps Artoria hasn't discovered it yet, but she is actually thinking about many issues without knowing it from the perspective of the king.

Even in her words, she always expressed that she wanted to cultivate herself to be a more dazzling king than herself.

But in fact, she has deviated from this purpose in many words.

As she spent more time in the ninja world, Artoria gradually lost the aloofness she once felt as a queen.

After all, in this world, there are no knights or people who either respect, worship, or despise her, and there are no Britain for her to protect or enemies to fight against.

As for this inadvertent change that happened to her.

Itachi is happy to be a friend.

Dwelling on the sad and irreversible past is useless and heavy.

Itachi was sincerely happy that Artoria was able to break away from those useless sorrows, step out of her identity as a king, and slowly accept the current world.

And then, Itachi had some guesses about Artoria's current situation.

Ever since he learned to pay attention to the people around him, he has been observing Artoria's condition.

First of all, Artoria is in a very special state, as if she is between the real world and another world.

From time to time, she can touch things in this world as if they really exist.

But most of the time, she is like a projection. She can only see this world but cannot truly integrate into it.

This is what Itachi knew about her observations before.

At that time, Artoria was in a trance, confused and indifferent, as if she was a person who had lost her goals and the meaning of life. She followed her like a zombie and would only ask for advice as a person who had experienced it when she needed it.

Some suggestions.

At this stage, Itachi found that Arturia was slowly letting go of the past, that she would be happy for herself because she had made friends, and that she would be reminded of some details in life that she had overlooked.

She truly regarded herself as a friend, instead of an heir, a shadow, and a tool to help her complete things she had not completed.

At least, Artoria in the past would never let herself focus on daily life and not be immersed in self-burden.

In the past, in order to become a qualified king, she gave up everything about herself, including life, gender and even the chivalry she had learned since childhood.

So if it were before, she would never hope that she would slack off in life, but would only appreciate her vigilance.

And it was this change that made Artoria slowly begin to integrate into this world.

Itachi could clearly detect that as time went by, her inadvertent contact with the world became more and more frequent.

It's like a cruise ship that was aimless has finally dropped its anchor and has a destination to dock again.

However, Itachi didn't intend to reveal this matter and tell Artoria.

He wanted to wait until she truly felt nostalgic for this world before mentioning it, so as to prevent her from deliberately avoiding it after she realized it.

A night sky full of stars,

A relatively clean roof,

A young man who is not very old but already has a mature attitude,

A queen from another world.

Or delicious food, or the ninja school will start tomorrow, or Shisui...

Although the two of them are inseparable every day, the topics they can talk about never stop.

The evening just went by with casual chatting.

And when the sky lit up with the rays of the morning sun again and faint voices could be heard in Konoha Village, Itachi finally had to get up.

It seems... Teru Uchiha really has no intention of coming.

Although he was a little disappointed, he wasn't surprised either.

Lies fabricated at random are very clumsy, and it is natural for Uchiha Teru not to believe them.

Anyway, Uchiha Teru was willing to ask for details at that time, which was already the answer.

This is how Itachi comforted himself.

First, he returned home and had breakfast. Then, he rejected the idea of ​​his father accompanying him and went to the ninja school to report alone.

As for his absence at night, neither his mother nor his father asked much about it, or maybe they didn't know that he didn't stay in the house last night.

"Speaking of which, your father and mother seem to rarely ask about your affairs."

Arturia was very moved about Fugaku and Mikoto, "They respect your privacy very much, but they also care about you."

For example, before I developed some etiquette habits, learned to exercise my body, and analyzed the situation in Konoha...

Many things cannot be explained by a "premature" vocabulary at all.

But when Itachi was unwilling to explain more, they did not delve too deeply into it. Instead, they believed in Itachi's own choices. This level of "enlightenment" made her admire her very much.

"I think they are more inexperienced."

In this regard, Itachi has a different view, "Since I was a child, I have had the idea that they treat me as an adult, whether it is in terms of practice plans or words."

"Especially when my father took me to the battlefield, he wanted me to understand the cruelty of war."

"Looking back now to see what my father did at that time, from the perspective of a family member, I can understand that he wanted me to understand the cruelty of war, so as to deepen my desire to improve my strength so that I can live better."

"But from an educational perspective, I actually can't understand it."

"Shouldn't a child first understand warmth, understand what he wants to protect, and what the reason for fighting is, and then face the cruelty and sacrifice of war?"

When people face battles, they all have a reason.

But I was a four-year-old child at the time who had barely left home. I had no idea about the reasons for the war, and I had no idea about Konoha and the Land of Fire.

Under such circumstances, the ideas of war, protecting Konoha...etc. are instilled in me, and there is really no sense of identity.

On the contrary, it made me confused about life at that time.

If it weren't for Artoria's help, Itachi didn't think that he would be able to achieve his current "maturity" based on this kind of "freezing".

Therefore, Itachi believed that his parents were not so much enlightened as they were first-time parents and had no experience other than their good intentions for him.
