"Daddy! My brother is back! ”

As soon as Sasuke entered the house, he shouted excitedly, wishing that even the gecko living in the ceiling knew about it.

"I already know."

Itachi Uchiha heard a voice coming from the backyard after a long absence, "Be quiet at home, Sasuke." ”

"I'm sorry!"

Sasuke snapped and covered his mouth with both hands, and then glanced at Itachi with some embarrassment, apparently this "problem" had been corrected by his father many times.

Itachi, on the other hand, just felt that his father's temper seemed to be much better, and it was inevitable that he would have to give Zuo Zhuer a face.

"I'm in the back, come with you."

The brothers glanced at each other, and through the terrace of the Japanese-style room, they came to the backyard, and at a glance they saw the back of leaning over in front of the fish pond.

Itachi looked slightly stunned.

I don't know if he was wrong, compared to a year ago, he always felt that his father seemed to be ......

"Brother, do you think Dad has gotten fat?"

Before Itachi could finish the thoughts in his head, Sasuke had already blurted out his unformed thoughts.

Itachi, who has always been very polite, stood at a loss for what to do, looking at Sasuke with a complicated expression, and even a little suspicious.

[Actually, you are brave, right? 】

In that case, how do I pick it up?

"If you're fat, you're fat, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Saying a word tolerantly, Fu Yue finally finished scattering the last handful of fish food and slowly turned around.

Crossing his father's waist, Itachi was surprised to find that not only was his father fat, but even the goldfish in the family were about to grow into pufferfish.

My father had a habit of feeding the fish when he thought about things, so it can be seen that he has spent a lot of time on the edge of this pond in the past year.

But it stands to reason that if a person has a lot of troubles, shouldn't he lose weight quickly?

"Father." Itachi bowed, "I'm back." ”

Fu Yue's eyes were not big in the first place, but after he had a circle of flesh on his face, his eyes looked smaller and much more shrewd than before.

His gaze lingered on the white hair in front of Itachi's forehead for a moment, and then wandered over the eldest son's face for a moment before he spoke with emotion.

"Looks like you've figured it out, at least you're in a much better state of mind than the last time you came back. If your mother sees it, she can rest assured. ”

Fugaku clapped his hands, cleaned up the fish food residue, and sat down on the terrace.

"Sasuke, go to the garrison and inform the Uchiha Inahuo and Iron Fire, just talk about the distribution of the newly graduated clansmen, and let those children decide for themselves. I won't discuss with them in the evening. ”

tomato

"Really?"

Sasuke was very familiar with the people who graduated, and when he heard his father say this, he was naturally happy for them.

Then, without waiting for his father's confirmation of what he had just said, he couldn't wait to disappear in place, "I'll definitely bring it!" ”

Maybe it's because of the abnormal situation that I've experienced today, and the weasel is already a little immune, and he doesn't show any surprises.

The sound of the door closing sounded, indicating that Zuosuke had left, and Fugaku spoke again.

"Orochimaru's attack on you, let's wait for your mother and Yoshiyo to come back. They're definitely going to ask, and it's redundant for you to say it again, so I'm not going to ask you now. ”

Fugaku tapped his fingers at the edge of the terrace and motioned for Itachi to sit across from him.

"In the year you're away, both Konoha and Uchiha have undergone a lot of changes, so I'm sure you should have noticed it too, right?"

"Yes, when I first came back, I met the reserve members of the garrison on the street."

Itachi nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that the relationship between the clan and the village has also become harmonious." ”

"To be precise, it is the younger generation of the clan that has become harmonious with the younger generation of the village and ordinary people."

When Fu Yue mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but sigh, "Today's garrison is composed of Shimo, who has graduated in the past two years, as a reserve to deal with the entanglements of civilians; Then the regular team members will deal with the conflicts caused by the ninjas. However, the latter has not changed much. ”

"Are all the Uchiha shinobi who have graduated in the past two years in the garrison?"

Itachi asked curiously.

"Well, that's the clan's decision."

Fugaku explained, "According to the children's own intentions, they want to form a team with the other shinobi outside the clan like the other graduates in the village.

"At first, we thought it was a conspiracy of the village, and that the three generations wanted to influence the minds of the young people through this means, so we forcibly let them enter the garrison and directly serve as reserve members to reduce the influence of the village on them. But who knows...... This has improved the reputation of the clan in Konoha.

"Later, we learned that it wasn't what the village did, but that there was a very infectious child in the ninja school."

"Is that the one called Purgatory Kyojuro?"

"Yes. It is said that Tsunade sent it to the village. ”

"Hmm." Uchiha Itachi's face paused slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Itachi's expression changed and couldn't escape Fugaku's eyes, "Have you seen her recently?" ”

"Well, half a year ago, I met her at the hot spring inn in Yunokuni, but we didn't say anything."

Itachi didn't seem to want to say much about it, and quickly changed the subject back.

"Go on, I also want to know what kind of child is capable of reversing the attitudes of those young people."

"It's a tortuous story. Although the three generations did not accept the child as a student, they completely cultivated him according to the identity of the heir, and even the fire escape of the Sarufei clan did not fall, and also taught him, and praised the child in public as the most powerful fire escape genius since Madara Uchiha. ”

"Exaggerated, isn't it?"

Itachi frowned.

What kind of person Madara Uchiha is, if there is no Thousand Hands Pillar, the five great powers will probably be conquered by him.

"The juniors of the clan also have the same idea as you, but after going to the door to compare, they are convinced.

But the boy didn't humiliate them, but instead taught him his experience of learning fire escape. There are many principles that I can't explain to them, but he can do it. Zuosuke, as well as the reserve members of the garrison you saw today, have all been instructed by him. Obviously, they had just graduated, but in terms of the nature change and form change of the fire escape, even some of the upper ninjas were not as good as them. ”

"That's right."

Itachi has some idea.

The Uchiha are a group that worships the strong to the extreme.

It doesn't matter if you are defeated, you also get careful guidance from the other party.

It's no wonder that today's graduates are looking at a foreign horse.

It's no wonder that my father didn't bother to check Zuo Zhu's transcript, there are such people in the same grade, even if Zuo Zhu can get the first place, it's not really the first, and there is no need to read it at all.

"In short, they have been with that child for a long time, and they are naturally influenced by each other."

Fu Yue sighed, "As a result, the current upper ninja and the newly graduated juniors of the clan have diametrically opposite attitudes towards the village and foreign clans, and there are even estrangements and rifts.

"Today, the third group of children is about to graduate, and there is a disagreement in the clan about whether to let them join the garrison as well. But I thought about it, it is better to block than to slacken, and instead of making them resentful of their elders, it is better to fulfill their wishes. After all, whether it is a village or a family, the future belongs to young people. ”

At this point, the ferret finally understood the reason why those goldfish became fat.

However, it would not be a good thing if the clansmen could really get rid of their extreme desire for power and writing wheels.

In the past three years, he has been hiding in the land of water because Konoha has made him feel sad and sad.

But Shisui hid in the land of water with him because as long as this Uchiha number one master was not in Konoha, then Uchiha would not have absolute confidence to rebel, and it would be impossible for the village to risk a large number of secrets being leaked and strike first against Uchiha Fluctuation.

If there is a difference between the ideas of the descendants and the elders of the clan, the clan can slowly dispel the idea of revenge on Konoha, and it will be much easier to stop the water.

Others can't see it, but Itachi knows very well how much sacrifice Zhishui has made in order to maintain this peace over the years.

"And what's going on with your figure?"

Itachi was silent for a moment, then changed to a lighter topic.

"Thanks to Yiyong, my patriarch has become more and more idle in the past two years, and few people have come to me to do things. As soon as you eat and sleep regularly, you will exercise less, and you will be fat. Besides, the food I have eaten at home in the past two years is not comparable to what you can do outside. ”

In fact, in the absence of Itachi and Zhishui, Yiyong can only ask his father to brush the resolution of Moon Breath.

In order to make up for the guilt of "using" his father in his heart, he studied the ingredients that Fuyue loved to eat every day.

Although Fu Yue's words were unknown, Itachi guessed from Fu Yue's faintly smug expression that his father was mostly "reverse" and used Yi Yong's unique interpersonal skills, so that the clansmen, young and old, did not dare to run to this house at all, and they couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

After all, the exit of "Dad said he wasn't at home" is almost a clear statement of "he doesn't want to see you anymore".

After the father and son chatted a little more, the door of the house rang again.

But since he could hear footsteps, Itachi knew that it was his mother who had returned.

"Father, I'll go first."

Fugaku nodded, Mikoto didn't know that her eldest son had returned.

Sure enough, Itachi had just walked to the hallway leading to the entrance, and the room was immediately filled with Mikoto's surprise voice.

"Itachi!?"

Mai Trin's shoes were not changed, and she walked to the opposite side of her eldest son with moist eyes, and immediately hugged him like a child.

It's one thing to be confident in the child's strength, but after all, the opponent is the legendary Sannin, and the letter from the country of water is not clear, how can she not be worried.

Now that I saw my eldest son return home completely, my hanging heart finally fell.

Yiyong, who had come back with his mother, stood at the door, wondering if he was a little excited if he changed his shoes and went in again.

"Sorry, you should have been informed in advance. It's just that the village urgently summoned us back to explain the encounter with Orochimaru in person, so we didn't have time to ask someone to bring a letter to your mother. ”

Itachi's eyes were also slightly moist.

"Call Mom, what Mom, wait until you are an adult." Mai Trin said with a look of annoyance.

"Yes, Mom."

Itachi was a little embarrassed, after all, fourteen years old was not too young, but he still didn't want to sway his mother's kindness.

"How's it going, are you hurt? You can't report good news and bad news for this kind of thing. ”

The mother looked at Itachi's body and face, "But it seems that you are in a much better spirit?" ”

Itachi smiled, and was about to answer the answer he had prepared, but felt a familiar gaze penetrate his body.

He subconsciously looked at Yiyong, and found that the distance between the other party's eyebrows and eyes suddenly widened, and his lips squeezed each other together, forming a cold and hard straight line!

This is simply an emotional upheaval for the usually expressionless volunteers.

Itachi understood, and Yiyong used the unique gaze that was jokingly called "white eyes" by Zhishui to see his physical state clearly.

Thinking of this, Itachi immediately cast a pleading glance at him, and shook his head heavily and slowly.

Finally, in the past few years, Mai Trin's training that ordered Yiyong not to expose other people's lies is still useful.

He understood Itachi's expression, and simply stood in place with a cold face.

"Mom, I rushed all the way back, so I went to see Hokage-sama first, and I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I must have smelled terrible."

Itachi smiled at his mother, "Let me go take a shower and change my clothes first, and when I come down, Zuosuke should also come back, and then we will talk slowly." ”

As he spoke, he nodded at Yiyong, "Yiyong should have also taken the exam of the actual combat class today, so let's come together." ”

"Okay."

Yi Yong agreed.

He wore a face like a cold iron shield in Mai Trin's puzzled eyes, and went upstairs with Itachi.

"Why doesn't Yiyong look happy at all?"

Mai Qin looked at the back of one tall and one short going upstairs, and muttered quietly, "Is it because Itachi came back without saying hello?" I didn't let him buy those books just now......"

But when it came to the book, her face suddenly changed from doubt to gossip.

She put the book "The Legend of Perseverance and Perseverance" on the shoe cabinet and immediately walked to the Japanese room.

"Fugaku, something very interesting happened today......

At the same time, the second floor.

The two brothers did not mean to take off their clothes and take a bath, but sat down together in Itachi's room.

"What's going on with your body?"

Yi Yong got straight to the point and asked on the spot: "Why is the color of your blood different from the past?" ”

"Sure enough, it's the same as Zhishui said, you can see something more essential, even if you have a white eye, you can only see the Chakara meridians, and you can't see through the human body."

Itachi sighed with emotion, the suspicions he had had been proven for years, and the confusion in his heart had finally been solved.

"No wonder you can debunk the instantaneous technique of stopping water."

"Don't change the subject."

Yi Yong's expression was like an iceberg, almost a word.

Itachi, who was staring at him, suddenly felt like he was in a swamp full of steam, and it was difficult for his body to even move without chakra.

It seems that in the past two years, Yiyong has made greater progress than he imagined.

"I don't know about this myself. It's just that since last year, as soon as I used the writing wheel, I felt a little cold in my body, and at first I thought it was because of the environment of the land of water, so I went to the country of Yunoku and tried to use the hot spring to recuperate my body. ”

Itachi honestly replied that it was pointless to lie in front of Yiyong.

"I met Tsunade-sama there, so I asked her to check it out."

"The result?" Yi Yong asked in a cold voice.

"It's a hereditary bloodstain disease, and some people have had it before, but very few people have developed it so early."

Itachi rubbed his fingers against his dry lips and spat out a few more desperate words.

"Tsunade-sama can't help it, saying that this disease is a terminal disease that cannot be cured......"
