Chapter 33: [The Heart Gradually Opening]

night

In the dimly lit room, Itachi slowly walked into the room with a pile of scrolls.

For a whole day, he spent a whole day learning the use of ninjutsu under his father's guidance.

But it's not so much a guide as a "show".

For almost a day, Uchiha Fugaku was using different fire escape techniques.

From the Hao Fireball Technique, to the Phoenix Fire Technique, followed by the Hao Dragon Fire ......

Of course, in addition to the Fire Escape Technique, Fu Yue also did not forget to teach some basic techniques, such as the Transformation Technique, the Stand-in Technique, the Clone Technique, and the advanced version of the Shadow Clone and the Instant Body Technique......

And the reason why the progress is so fast is because Fuyue's affairs are as he said, very busy.

Today's rest was only obtained by him taking leave.

As the patriarch, although no one can interfere with Fuyue's vacation, he does not allow himself to be derelict in his duties.

All he could do was use this day off to help his son officially embark on the path of ninja.

"Congratulations, Itachi."

Artoria, dressed in blue and white armor, slowly appeared in the room, "From today onwards, you can be considered a true ninja as well. ”

There was a rare joy on her face, and it was very new for her to officially come into contact with the cultivation system of another world.

While stuffing the scroll in his hand into the bookcase according to the level of technique, Itachi stared at her for a long time before nodding dumbfoundedly, "Hmm." ”

"What's wrong? Absent-minded look. ”

Artoria looked at him with some confusion.

Shouldn't learning ninjutsu be a thing to be happy about?

Itachi didn't answer immediately, but after putting the scroll away, he stood up solemnly and bowed to her in thanks.

"I'm sorry for you again this time, Lord Artoria, thank you very much."

His tone was serious.

Artoria hesitated for a moment, "This is ...... What's wrong? ”

"If it weren't for you, I would have always misunderstood my father as an irresponsible person for the family, and I wouldn't have known what the things and pressures he was facing."

Itachi explained seriously, his rare expression of true emotion, "In the past, I was too arrogant to think that if I knew a person well enough, I didn't need to ask about it, and I could understand his behavior and habits. ”

"But now I'm wrong, perhaps...... Communication is the right way, and groundless speculation is meaningless. ”

"I can't fully understand a person, let alone talk to myself on his behalf."

Although today's learning task is very tedious, I have been observing and analyzing the use of various techniques.

But at the same time, Itachi also felt even more guilty about his father in his heart.

He couldn't imagine how he would have been misinterpreting him without Artoria, without these attempts and communications she had facilitated.

Maybe...... I will see him as a person who is not responsible for his family at all and is only obsessed with power.

Because he didn't know what the pressure he was facing, and he didn't know that his heart was more than power, and what he hoped was that the Uchiha clan could be stable.

And as time goes by, maybe I will get farther and farther away from my father.

Unable to reach a consensus, unable to stop and communicate, the gap between them grows and grows, until finally trust is lost.

"In that case, I accept your gratitude."

Hearing Itachi's explanation, Artoria smiled and nodded.

But soon, she continued:

"One thing I want to warn you about though it's not just that everyone can communicate."

"Only people who really trust you can solve some problems through communication."

"And if you are facing your enemy, it is not a wrong choice to carefully figure out and simulate his thinking."

"I understand."

Itachi replied that he was not a fool either, and that communication could not be applied to everyone if it was effective with his father.

Compared to others who learn to communicate first and then learn to hide, I just reverse the process and that's it.

"But as the patriarch, your father is very competent."

But soon, Artoria talked about today's events, "He already has a certain sense of the big picture, but maybe in some decisions...... More hesitant, more emotional. ”

"If I hadn't been with you, I would have had the opportunity to see your father's life in the family."

"I can't imagine that such an old-fashioned and serious looking person as he would be an emotional person."

With that, she turned her attention to Itachi again.

In fact, Itachi is the same, if it weren't for being by his side all the time, Artoria couldn't imagine that a five-year-old child could have so many thoughts in his heart.

"Anyway, I'm even more determined to practice hard."

Itachi's gaze was fixed on the stacked scrolls on the shelves.

The family's situation is not stable, and perhaps it is because of this that my father wants to grow up as soon as possible.

He hopes to protect the family, his mother hopes that he will become stronger to reassure her, and his father hopes that he can meet the standard of taking his place as soon as possible.

Even so, it had to be tried.

"The next cultivation plan is biased towards actual combat."

"In the morning, I will train my body, and in the afternoon I will be familiar with ninjutsu, and in the evening...... Just flip through these scrolls, and as for the original cultural lessons, put them into your dreams and learn them. ”

"Directly in the dream, we can also skip a lot of preparation, and we can directly use illusions to build scenes and items."

Itachi suggested.

"But in this case...... Your spirit will not be able to bear it. ”

Artoria disagreed with the proposal, and corrected, "You've made a simple attempt to learn in your dreams. ”

"Physically, I can get a good rest, but my spirit is always active."

"Well, get the most basic four hours of sleep a day and try it for a while."

As she taught Itachi for more and more time, she gradually became a teacher, no longer copying her practice plan as before.

"By the way, I still need to spare a day or half a day to spend with my mother every once in a while."

Itachi remembered one more thing.

Although her mother said that she hoped that she would practice well, she did not reject her company too much, but she did not want to steal her daily chores.

And then...... And Uchiha Teru. ”

"That guy is a talker, he knows that I have begun to have the strength to endure it, and it is inevitable that he will publicize it."

"You have to close his mouth before he reacts, otherwise he may not be able to hide his talent by promising his father."

Weasel babbled to Artoria about what she planned to do in the next few days.

What he didn't know was that in the process, Artoria's calm gaze gradually softened.

It's finally ...... I'm willing to talk to myself more.
