Chapter 21: [Classic Fire Escape]

"Restless?"

Looking back at the back of his father's departure, a few thoughts came to Itachi's mind.

Although the clansmen have repeatedly persuaded him to support him on the throne, it sounds like his father really doesn't have the idea of competing for the fourth generation in his heart.

He has feelings for Konoha and is relatively safe in terms of decision-making.

Itachi simply made the first judgment.

Now, after being nurtured by Artoria's cultural class, he is no longer the child who only knows how to think about life.

He now understands a lot of social structures, interest structures......

The understanding of a village is not just that people come together to form a village and help each other...... Such a simple idea.

Since she is in the ninja world, Artoria can't teach Itachi about the history of Great Britain, so she has studied and evaluated the history of Konoha, the history of the Fire Country, and the history of the ninja world.

In the process, Itachi also slowly understood through practical examples that war cannot be avoided, and this is the same as a country cannot be stable forever.

While the state exists, it will constantly face the troubles of external enemies and internal strife.

And why does war exist? Because of interests, because of survival, because of desires...... Many, many factors.

When human beings have human nature, emotions such as seven emotions and six desires, it is impossible for the flame of war to die out, and it will always be provoked for various reasons, and no one will be satisfied with the status quo.

And this knowledge also made Itachi understand what kind of impact his father would have on the village and the country if he really wanted to compete for the position of the fourth generation at the instigation of the clansmen.

Although I don't know what the specific relationship between the family and the village is, judging from the words of their conversation, it should be on the bad side.

In this case, if the father wanted to sit in that seat, there should be a lot of opposition in the village.

These quarrels and strife will cause Konoha to step deeper into the abyss, which is still in the midst of war.

Therefore, his father's retreat is to hope that the family will be stable, but at the same time, he should also hope that the village can be stable.

This should be called ...... Think in the big picture.

Itachi calmly acts as an observer and proceeds with reason......

……

"Swordsmanship? And it still seems to be biased towards the epee......"

In the forest near the Uchiha clan land, the area where Itachi often serves as a training place welcomes a "guest" - Uchiha Karu.

A new day is ushered in, and the Uchiha comes as promised, intending to "guide" his practice.

However, when he saw himself swinging a large sword that was almost identical to his body, it seemed very surprised.

"I always wonder if you're going the wrong way, Itachi."

Uchiha Hui looked at himself strangely, "Don't talk about eating slowly, even the blades used are so chic." ”

"Our Uchiha combines the writing wheel eye, and the aspects that we are better at are inclined to ninjutsu and illusion, but in order to avoid the situation of being biased, although we will also learn physical arts, swordsmanship, and throwing...... to assist. ”

"But our clan generally learns relatively light combat methods, and even medium-sized ninja tools like the Wind Demon Shuriken are rarely used by our clansmen."

"You're good...... I chose such a bulky iron sword, which doesn't look very compatible with our clan's writing wheels. ”

Although it was said that he proposed to train together with the idea of beating people, Hui, as a senior of the same clan, couldn't help but want to correct him when he saw that such a talented junior of the family as Itachi had actually taken a crooked path.

"I'm just looking for a better way to fight."

Itachi casually explained, looking at him, "So...... Shall we start now? ”

As soon as the words fell, the figure standing in the distance in front of him, still lazily digging earwax with his little finger, suddenly disappeared from view.

Dangerous......

Itachi's heart was extremely calm when the object of the fight suddenly disappeared from his eyes.

After all, the real enemy won't wait for you to say the start before they start assassinating you.

His gaze calmly swept around him, controlling his breathing and heartbeat, while his muscles tensed, ready for an attack.

Babbling –

"Left?"

In the silence, Itachi's five senses slowly became sharper.

After noticing the faint sound of footsteps behind his left, he instinctively wanted to turn his waist and swing his iron sword behind him.

But suddenly, Itachi's already rotating waist stopped, and instead of turning around, he picked up the movement of swinging the sword in his hand towards the momentum in front of him!

Dingβ€”β€”

The sound of the metal clashing rings in my ears.

Itachi could clearly perceive the iron sword in his hand as it was raised, and it violently touched the sturdy iron weapon.

The sound behind the left is an illusion!

Itachi made the first judgment.

Then, the force of the iron sword back into his palm told him another fact.

The other party's strength is not as good as their own!

The iron weapon that Uchiha Teru is holding tightly is picked off!

Almost instinctively, the moment Itachi noticed that the blade in the opponent's hand was out of his hand, the hilt of the sword clenched in both hands increased his strength again, and forcibly pressed down the iron sword that was raised upward!

Brake –

The blade of the sword fell straight down, and the strong force and wind slashed through the lawn in front of him, revealing the wet dirt!

Splitting into the air, Uchiha Teru fled.

Is it instantaneous? Or is it a stand-in?

Itachi's iron sword froze in mid-air, and once again calmly observed the surroundings with both swords in hand.

There was no unnecessary fluctuation on his face from beginning to end, and not even his breathing or heartbeat changed due to the violent movements.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How did you find out? ”

Uchiha's voice rang in his ears, or rather, from all directions.

Itachi didn't answer, scrutinizing the source of his voice.

But if you have to answer...... Probably because I was very serious, I noticed it, and that's it.

"But your kid's strength is really great, in order to better use this bulky big sword, did you do special strength training?"

Hui's voice rang out again.

And this time, Itachi felt some flaws in it.

It seems to be in the grass not far away......

But he didn't choose to attack, but quietly waited for Hui's attack.

Itachi couldn't tell if the flaw was a trap he had deliberately exposed, just like the sound just now.

"And ...... I don't think you've ever had any experience on the battlefield, right? Or do you already have experience fighting ninjas? How can you be so calm? ”

"How does it feel to kill someone for the first time? Did you vomit? Feeling unwell? ”

"But instead of killing someone, have you ever wondered what would happen to your father and mother if you were killed? I guess it's going to be sad......"

Uchiha Teru's voice continued to sound one after another.

From time to time there are flaws, and from time to time there are no flaws.

But for these contents, Itachi did not have the slightest inner turmoil, just observed very calmly, and did not take the initiative to attack.

"What a boring little ghost......"

"That's the end of it!"
