Chapter 31: Ascending to the rank of middle ninja
The physical fitness of the ninja descendants is inherently strong, and before he is a year old, Sasuke is already able to walk on the ground.
"Sasuke, come, let my brother hug me!" Back in the courtyard, Itachi clapped his hands and greeted Sasuke, who was glued to Mikoto's side.
Sasuke was still very cute when he was a child, and like many children, he was a little recognizant. After Itachi enters the shadows, he can't go home casually, and he has little contact with Sasuke. After seeing Itachi and Takumi, Sasuke timidly hid behind Mikoto and grabbed Mikoto's skirt tightly with one hand.
"This kid", Maikoto helplessly picked up Sasuke and coaxed: "Sasuke, your Itachi brother is back, and look, he brought the guests back?" β
"Mother," Itachi bowed, "you've worried your father and you all this time. β
Fugaku and Mikoto received a message from the eight-foot crow, and they had already learned that Itachi would be looking for an opportunity to travel. Privately, Mai Trin is very worried, afraid that Itachi will be hurt or even lose her life outside. Although Fu Yue is worried in his heart, as a man, he can only comfort that "people will always grow after being hurt, and the young eagle will only become a real eagle after fighting in the sky."
"It's good to come back safely!" Mikoto hugged Sasuke and asked while coaxing, "Who is this ninja?" β
Itachi brought a friend home for the first time, and Takumi was still carrying a child on his back, so Mai Trito naturally noticed.
"Mother, this is my friend, Takumi, we met in the shelter." Itachi brought Takumi to him and introduced, "Carrying his sister Takuyuki, an orphan taken in by Takumi. β
"What a caring child!" Mai Qin admired, smiled slyly, looked at the weasel and said, "It's much more caring than our ferret, and I don't take much care of my brother!" β
"Ah, hehe, I'm not on a mission?" Itachi scratched his head, smiled helplessly, took Sasuke in Mikoto's arms, and the group entered the living room.
Like-sex repels each other, opposites attract. Lying in Itachi's arms, Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Takuyuki on Takumi's back. Takuyuki's little eyes looked around curiously, sniffed his nose, and his eyes stopped on the raw surimi in Zuo's assistant, and the small universe in his heart shouted: "Takuyuki is hungry!" β
"Good, don't cry, don't cry!" Takumi hurriedly hugged Takuyuki in his arms, shaking and coaxing.
When Mikoto saw it, she scooped up a little minced meat and fed it to Takuyuki's mouth, and sure enough, Takuyuki ate it with relish. Takumi took the spoon embarrassedly, and sat down with Takuyuki in his arms while feeding.
"Takumi is a great ninja, and he can take care of Takuyuki so well before he gets married?" Mai Koto covered her mouth and smiled.
Tuo Hai's face flushed slightly, and said, "Aunt Qin made fun of me, I have to perform tasks often, and I don't have time to take good care of Tuoyuki." β
"Mother, when I mentioned this, I was about to tell you, I will also have to carry out missions often in the future, and I may not have so much time to accompany Sasuke." Itachi said, "It's better to let Takuyuki stay, so that Sasuke and I will have a sister!" β
Speaking of Sasuke, everyone found out that Sasuke seems to have been staring at Takuyuki Koko, who eats minced meat.
Sasuke's cute appearance made Mikoto laugh.
"If you stay, you can stay, maybe, Takuyuki will stay in Uchiha when he grows up!" Mikoto was in a good mood and actually made a joke about Sasuke, but unfortunately Sasuke didn't understand it at all.
If Takuyuki and Sasuke's childhood sweethearts grow up, and the two of them are together, Itachi is embarrassed to think about it anymore. Emotional matters.,Let it be.,Will Takuyuki join SakuraγIno in the Three Kingdoms War?γ
"In the future, when there is no task, Takumi will come to see Takuyuki more, but don't let her forget your brother!" After arranging Takuyuki, Maikoto reminded Takukaido. Except for Aoba, Mikoto didn't see how many friends Itachi had, and after Aoba joined the roots, Itachi almost became a loner. Takumi often comes and goes, which is helpful for Itachi's interpersonal relationships.
After sending Takumi away, Mikoto hugged Takuyuki and Sasuke, who were asleep, to rest. Itachi goes to the Konoha garrison to find Fugaku, and if nothing else, it won't be long before the Konoha higher-ups pass a resolution to force the garrison to move from the administrative district to the Uchiha's clan land. The Uchiha clan was already isolated in the northwest of Konoha by the Kazuma, separated from the village, and after the garrison moved out of the administrative district, the Uchiha would be completely isolated by Konoha. If one day, there is an extermination war between Konoha and the Uchiha, the rest of Konoha will not be affected at all.
It was after the relocation of the garrison that the hawkish forces within the Uchiha rose up, and Fugaku was completely disillusioned with Konoha and embarked on the path of planning a coup. To tell the truth, Fuyue's strength is not bad, but it is not material for politics, and the coup d'Γ©tat is made with great fanfare, like a demonstration. The bigger the event, the more a small number of people should plan; The more trivial it is, the more people should plan. The number of people plotting is inversely proportional to the importance of the matter, and the Uchiha people may have believed too much in the power of the chakra to turn things upside down.
The king forces the ministers to rebel, and the ministers have to rebel, and if they don't rebel, they can only be foolish and loyal. Itachi will not be foolish and loyal to Ape Fei, if the coup is inevitable, Itachi hopes to be more carefully planned, and if the clan will value Itachi, it depends on whether the clan will die themselves. Itachi has no interest in accompanying those who are bent on cliff jumping to the funeral.
There are no eggs under the nest, and the weasel is a junior in the clan, and only with the support of Fuyue can he gain a greater right to speak.
--------------------------------
Before Fugaku and Itachi could finish talking, the messenger from the shadows sent an order for Itachi to return immediately.
"In the shadows, behave well, and if someone is going to be bad for the Uchiha, you have to remember to protect yourself. Remember, in order to protect your life, you can do whatever you think is right. After feeling a crisis, every time he talked to Itachi, Fugaku would finally teach Itachi in his ear.
"Father's words, Itachi remembered." Itachi bowed, exited the gate of the guard, and hurried back to headquarters with the messenger from the Shadows.
"Itachi, follow me!"
The leader of the Ding detachment who stayed behind led Itachi to the innermost secret room in the dark department, and the security level was higher than that of Aso.
"Hokage-sama is inside." Yamashita explained. Itachi thought about it, if it wasn't for the old man Ape Fei, how could Yamashita personally lead the way for Itachi.
"Uchiha Itachi, see Hokage-sama." After knocking on the door and entering the room, Itachi saluted Ape Flying as he sat behind a large desk. The tall Aso stood on the right side of Sarutobi.
"Itachi, I value the information you brought back. It's just that I'm curious how you got this information. Ape Fei glanced at Aso and said, "I listened to Aso's report, but you successfully killed Shayin's Shangnin." β
Sure enough, Itachi secretly said in his heart that Ape Fei is an old Jianghu, and it is not easy to fool at all. There is no choice but to reveal some of their own information.
"Before the fight, I was furious when I saw the ninja of the sand kill and rape a woman." Itachi said half-truthfully: "During the battle, I suddenly discovered that the power of the Sharingan has evolved, but the ninjas of the Sand Hidden did not find out that I was a ninja of the Uchiha clan, and I was careless before I plotted to succeed." β
The power of the second hook jade writing wheel, in front of Ape Fei, there is no need to deliberately keep this secret. Only when the ferret shows the value of being used can it be more valued by the ape. If Ape Fei is revealed, it will only indirectly help Itachi improve his reputation.
The seven-year-old Ergoyu has already caught up with the water. Shisui is a two-hook jade that awakens after the age of ten, and if nothing else, the current Shisui is only one opportunity away from awakening the kaleidoscope. Konoha privately circulated that Fugaku had awakened the kaleidoscope, but Itachi guessed that Fugaku might be able to use the power of the kaleidoscope for a short time through some secret method, but he did not really awaken the kaleidoscope.
The purple wheel eye can see through and absorb the pupil power, and the weasel did not find a hint of the kaleidoscope in Fuyue's writing wheel eye. It's just that after discovering that the Purple Wheel Eye has the ability to absorb pupil power, Itachi never used the Purple Wheel Eye to fight against Fugaku again.
"The water stop of the root has awakened the three hooks, and the Itachi of the shadows has also awakened the two hooks at a young age, the Uchiha clan, if you really awaken the kaleidoscope???" Sarufei thought to himself: "Fortunately, the strongest geniuses of the Uchiha in the future are in the hands of Konoha. β
Sarufei agreed with Itachi's explanation, and no one should underestimate the power of the writing wheel. Blood Inheritance Limit, it can only be said that everything is possible. Orochimaru and Tuan Zang's secret research on the Blood Inheritance Limit behind their backs, Ape Fei has obtained a confidential report, and even the most powerful Blood Inheritance Limit ninja has not exerted the full power of the Blood Inheritance Limit. The ninja of Uchiha, who has awakened the second hook jade, can no longer stay in the position of the lower ninja.
"Itachi, you've done a very good job, Konoha will be proud of you!" Ape Fei's eyes were full of kindness, and his slightly old voice revealed a sense of magic, as if an old headmaster was teaching the freshmen who had just entered the school, "I grant you the promotion to the middle ninja!" I hope you can inherit the Will of Fire and protect the village well! β
Konoha ninjas want to advance to the middle ninja, and the normal way is to pass the middle ninja exam. But in addition to the normal exams, there are some opportunities for special recruitment. Shadow ninjas, with the Hokage's permission, can be directly promoted to middle ninja and upper ninja, as long as their strength and mission contribution are recognized.
--------------------------------
"My name is Uchiha Itachi, the dark ninja of Konoha, determined to support the leadership of the Hokage, obey the orders of the Hokage, fulfill the obligations of the ninja, carry out the decisions of the Hokage, strictly abide by the discipline of the Dark Department, keep the secrets of Konoha, be loyal to Konoha and be loyal to the Hokage, actively carry out tasks, fight for the peace of Konoha for life, and be ready to sacrifice everything, including your own life, for Konoha and the Hokage, and never betray!"
"Decision Man, Uchiha Itachi!"
The middle ninja of the dark part can already constitute the combat power of the dark part. The ceremony of the middle ninja is more solemn, and it is more determined to be loyal to the Hokage and Konoha.
"In the name of Konoha, give you the will of fire, may the fire burn in your heart and shine on Konoha!" Tie the special mid-ninja forehead to Itachi's forehead, and Sarufei encouraged.
After such rituals and encouragement, every Konoha ninja is afraid that they will really fight for the orders of Konoha and Sarutobi, and even betray their relatives. Itachi's heart is inexplicably rebellious, it is a conscious resistance to the hypnotic effect of a specific ritual, but Itachi does not dare to show it, and those who have truly achieved great things are good at forbearance until they can control their fate. Thinking of this, Itachi quickly knelt on one knee, put his right fist to his chest, and bowed his head in response:
"Itachi will be loyal to Konoha!"
It's just that the object of loyalty is the abstract Konoha and not your concrete ape fly, Itachi silently added deep down.
