The journey home was the same as ever.

It's just that the ferret who performed the best just now is the one that performs the worst at the moment.

Izumi's prostration is due to unfamiliar training, and Azumi's weakness is due to lack of mental strength and breath disorder.

And Itachi has always been a child who likes to be strong.

So it's time to finally go home.

He was the only one who couldn't stand up and walk normally.

At this moment, he was lying on Seiichi's back with some shame.

Izumi on the side can only hold the corner of Seiichi's clothes, and from time to time he throws envious eyes at Itachi.

However, her gaze only made Itachi more and more shy.

Before leaving, Seiichi and Kai also exchanged their understanding of the Eight Gates.

Kai is a practical genius, while Seiichi is better at logical understanding.

Therefore, the eight techniques they learned are the same technique, but they have different entry points.

Asking him to come over to exchange and learn the eight Dunjia techniques is also one of the purposes of this trip.

As for why Kay wasn't in the line back home...

Needless to say, he said that Seiichi's words encouraged him again.

So he's going to jump another 500 laps!

Do the action you did 10,000 times again!

All it can be said is... It deserves to be him.

This kind of cultivation may be a bit unusual for a few young people who are still confused.

But what everyone gets every time is not comparable to just a ninjutsu and an action.

What Seiichi wants to teach them is the way.

When they really learn the "logic of battle", they can also find their way forward in this way.

When they learn the same perseverance as Kai to push their limits, they will have the ability to move in that direction.

The art must be learned, and the Tao must be taught.

It's just that this is far more complicated to learn than a technique.

As for the rationale for this...

Maybe it's because Seiichi Uchiha, I don't want to be Seiichi Uchiha...

The people of the Uchiha clan have always liked to admit death on a single path.

Arrogant wants to bear everything alone, carry everything alone, and then achieve everything alone.

Especially after opening the blood-red writing wheel eyes, the strange chakra in the eyes will also affect the host's thinking.

I am afraid that it is also because of this that the second-generation Hokage who was estranged between Uchiha and Konoha at this time was created-Senju Kakuma.

would say something like that.

...

Writing is not a blessing, but a curse, a disease.

A mad disease.

Seiichi doesn't want to be such a person.

In other words, his biggest goal has never been accomplished by one person.

So he needs companions, comrades, and even...

......

Izumi and Azumi said goodbye to Makoto separately, and they were actually tired.

This time the road home seemed extra quiet.

They just want to go home and take a shower, eat a delicious dinner prepared by their parents, and get a good night's sleep.

I've worked hard enough today, and I'll leave the rest to myself tomorrow.

Without that shy gaze, Itachi was a little more at ease.

It seems that compared to the family that has to be tense, the shoulders of the two older brothers are his resting place.

"Itachi, don't always push yourself."

Itachi didn't speak, just listened quietly behind him.

"No one can bear everything alone, and no one has to bear everything alone."

“... Hmm..."

Brother Seiichi is right.

But there are some things that 'Uchiha Itachi' was born with that must endure, and they are responsibilities that he has to bear.

Seiichi knew the pressure he had to face with this teenager on his back.

The year he went to the battlefield, he was not yet eight years old.

And when Itachi first witnessed the battle on the battlefield, he was only four years old.

Seiichi was in a tight war and without the protection of his parents, he had to replenish his combat strength for the front line as a genius.

Itachi is because... His father felt that he needed to witness the battle.

Two young eagles on a cliff.

Without the care of its parents, it will starve to death if it does not spread its wings, so it jumps off the cliff in desperation.

The other, on the other hand, was taken by its parents...

Push it down.

"If you come to me one day when you encounter something unbearable, I will help you."

“... Well, I will. ”

Makoto smiled and continued.

"If one day you call me from a quagmire from which you can't extricate yourself, I will come to your rescue."

“......”

Itachi could only be silent, but he still couldn't say anything to Seiichi.

That's his own difficulty, his own responsibility, and he can't let Brother Chengyi, who has been injured, bear it for him.

"If you feel that you have made an irreparable mistake one day, come to me."

"I'll take responsibility... Liberate you..."

Itachi shook slightly, but listened to his brother's voice continue.

"I'll go with you again."

...

......

"After all, if people like you make big mistakes, it must be that I haven't taught you well."

The younger brother behind him pursed his lips and hugged Seiichi slightly.

"We... Or is it family? Brother Chengyi. ”

"It has always been, and it will always be."

Clearly... They've all pushed you out of that door...

But the man in front of him continued to say:

"And, the family is going to get bigger and bigger... So big that there is more than one clan, more than one village... Even, more than one country. ”

Seiichi tilted his head slightly and grinned at Itachi.

"You know whatachi, my dream is to make everyone a family."

"That way, people won't continue to fight, people will help each other, people will help each other when you're in danger, like... You and I are the same. ”

His words seemed to finally give Itachi an answer to the question he had been pondering all along.

Itachi doesn't understand war, so he questions the meaning of life.

Because if life is born, it is to fight in war, to wither at will...

So what's the point of it?!

Now Seiichi tells him that the end of his journey is to make everyone family.

Can allow everyone... You don't have to tense your body and mind at any time, and you can feel like you're on your brother's back at any time?

If that's what lies ahead, Itachi is willing to keep going.

Or even willing to...

Get used to fighting first.

For the sake of protection, the current 'family'.

"Alright, Itachi, your other family member has arrived, and I won't send you home."

"You won't say anything strange to Itachi again, will you..."

Hearing this voice, the weasel hurriedly raised his head: "Brother Zhishui..."

"Yo, Itachi, I'm practicing hard today."

Itachi quickly broke free from Seiichi's back, but he still fell soft.

Fortunately, Seiichi's 'eye disease' is fast, otherwise he would have been seen by outsiders and thought that the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan would have to kneel down when he saw the water.

Seeing this, Zhishui also smiled cheerfully, and he also leaned down.

"Then leave the second half to me."

Sometimes, being too smart can get in the way.

For example, Itachi heard the meaning behind the ordinary words of stopping the water.

Brother Chengyi, it's not convenient to return to the clan land now...

Once he remembered the attitude of his clan towards these two people, Itachi finally felt a little relieved, and couldn't help but sink into it again.

"By the way, Seiichi, do you have time to talk tonight?"

"When am I out of space now?"

Zhishui picked up the ferret, and said helplessly: "I didn't find you this afternoon..."

Seiichi is also a pleasure:

"Then you're more likely to pick the time."
