The afterglow of spring falls on the low wall,

Walls and cliffs surround the entire Konoha Village,

At this moment, in front of a huge iron gate made of fine iron at the entrance of the village, ninjas who had returned from the battlefield were gathered.

The soles of their feet were covered with mud, their bodies were wrapped in bloody bandages, and their aura was cold and seeping.

But other than that, the light in their eyes was full of softness and nostalgia.

Looking at the familiar entrance of the village in a trance, Itachi's dark eyes reflected Konoha in his heart.

It has only been a few months since I stepped on the battlefield last winter and returned to summer this year.

In line with the idea of learning, he followed his father to the battlefield,

But it's a pity that I haven't learned a lot, and whenever there is a war, I always wait for the end of the battle in the rear.

And when you really have the opportunity to observe the battlefield, you can't see their movements clearly with your own dynamic vision.

If you can only see the beginning and the outcome of the battle, but you can't observe the process, then you lose the opportunity to learn.

But even so, in this war, Itachi still has a lot of feelings.

For example......

When you shoulder something, the heaviness of your heart.

"Huomen and Yu, after entering the village, you two will go with me to the Hokage Building to report on the progress of the mission."

Standing at the front of everyone, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the two old-looking shinobi in the team, "The others are returning to the clan land, don't make trouble." ”

The last few words, he said very solemnly.

"Yes!"

Echoes of reply rang out from every Uchiha's mouth.

Joy, impatience, relief, grief, peace......

Itachi could hear a lot of emotion in the sound of these answers.

And his own mood is also up and down.

He didn't feel anything before or when he left home, but now that home is in front of him, he does miss it a little in his heart.

After all, the mother is still at home.

Thinking of his mother, Itachi unconsciously turned his gaze to his father at the front of the line.

After the death of the Uchiha Temple, his father assumed the position of temporary commander, so along the way, he did not take himself with him and protect himself as before, but arranged for himself to travel with the Uchiha Hui.

So along the way, there was basically no dialogue between the father and son.

Itachi felt that his father was angry with him.

Because he delayed the fighter plane and killed his important friend.

The team did not stay long at the entrance of the village, blocking the entry and exit of other pedestrians.

After a little rectification, Uchiha Fugaku verified his identity information with the garrison at the entrance of the village, led the team, and slowly stepped through the iron gate and entered the confines of Konoha Village.

The whole team did not travel at the same speed as when they were in a hurry, but walked slowly down the main street, towards the core area of Konoha.

Mingling in the procession, Itachi could feel the gaze coming from the pedestrians on both sides of the street.

Envy, longing, excitement......

These emotions were not felt by Itachi when he left.

Because the expedition of himself and the others was for Konoha and for the land of fire, after returning, did they give relative respect?

Itachi somewhat understood what the so-called glory meant.

"Is this Konoha?"

A curious voice rang in Itachi's ears.

Artoria's figure appeared beside Itachi, her eyes sharply surveying her surroundings, and she said with a smile:

"Compared to the capital of Great Britain, Konoha Village is a lot simpler."

"But this feeling of being in the spotlight reminds me of every time I return from a campaign, my people bow down to greet the king."

"Itachi, do you feel a desire for this sense of honor?"

Dressed in blue and white light armor, she followed Itachi with her head straight, and her gestures revealed a sense of confidence and pride.

Such Artoria made Uchiha Itachi's heart a little stunned, but he quickly noted her changes.

On the battlefield, Artoria in front of him is the king called King Arthur,

Her eyes, her posture in her own eyes have hardly changed in any way,

Neither sacrifice nor the battle situation could make her already cold heart beat.

King Arthur at that time was almost inhuman, like a cold machine, only calculating gains and losses.

Now, Artoria is more worthy of the other title she has been given in her memory, the Knight King.

She has emotions, she will feel proud like a human being, and she will be happy with the envy of others and the approval of others.

This may have been the way she had been before she gave up the glory of the knighthood.

Itachi made a guess in his mind.

Unlike on the battlefield, even if there are many people after returning to Konoha Village, Itachi can observe the king relatively relaxed, without worrying about being found out if he has been confused by illusions.

As for Artoria's inquiry, he explained in his heart:

"Ninja is a profession that focuses on efficiency."

"Buildings that are convenient for ninja movements will be more popular than comfort and quality, and if the king wants to understand the prosperity of the Fire Country, perhaps it would be more appropriate to visit the Daimyo's Mansion."

"As for the ...... The sense of honor, well, I felt it a little bit. ”

"Is it just a little?"

Artoria was a little disappointed, "It's okay, I'm sure you will know what country is in the future, and you will understand what it means to fight to defend the country." ”

As she spoke, she turned her attention to the street, "Is it more about practical buildings?" Indeed, if you ninjas use chakra, you can easily move around these low buildings, and it is very convenient to make sudden rallies or battles. ”

"However, judging from the dress and behavior of the people on the streets, it seems that your culture does not have much requirement for etiquette, which is not conducive to the consolidation of class, but it also makes the village a little more relaxed and life-like."

"Wait, hot springs, casinos, game cities, barbecue restaurants...... Konoha seems to be still focusing on the development of entertainment, so that ninjas can better relax themselves when they are resting? unimaginable policy and response ......"

As she went, Artoria continued to sigh and recognize Konoha in combination with the content of Uchiha Itachi's memory.

She was even more amazed when she learned that there was an educational institution called a school in Konoha to train ninjas.

Itachi also slowly recalled in her mind what Great Britain had to say in this regard.

In Artoria's country, knowledge and books were in the hands of the aristocracy and belonged to private property.

Therefore, only the children of princes and nobles will receive intellectual education.

For example, if the poor and commoners want to get an education, they need to have a certain amount of luck, be appreciated by the nobles, or show their military exploits in times of war.

This also means that rich people can stay rich as long as they don't make mistakes and provoke enemies stronger than themselves, while people who are incapable of making changes are almost incompetent for the rest of their lives.
