Chapter 42: [Thank You, Hui]
"Itachi...... Are you sure you can eat so much? ”
Uchiha Mikoto stood in the kitchen, frowning at the so many ingredients Itachi bought home, "It's a shameful thing to waste food. ”
"I understand, I'm sorry for you."
Itachi nodded, indicating that he could eat it.
In fact, when a porcelain plate with big fish and meat was served on the table, Mai Trito also saw what Itachi meant by "need more energy".
Sitting at the dining table, Itachi held a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, his face calm.
Faced with the dazzling array of food in front of him, the ferret is like a musician waving a baton in front of the stage of a symphony orchestra.
The knife and fork in his hand is his baton, flexibly conducting the "orchestra" below, letting them show the most delicious "music" in front of him, and then eat them all!
Whether it's the muscular beef bones, the umami-like crab, or the tender meat steak, the edible pieces of meat will be perfectly removed in front of his eyes.
And even the medullary fluid in the bone marrow, he would not let go, and the sharp blade in his hand was attached to the wind attribute chakra, easily cutting through the hard bones.
Mai Trin sat across from Itachi, staring blankly at his elegant way of eating.
Before, she hadn't noticed much, but she thought that Itachi's meal was a bit cumbersome.
It is both a knife and a fork, and occasionally encounters hard-shelled seafood, and you also need to use scissors.
Obviously, he can suck out the crab meat and shrimp meat with his mouth, but he just has to use tools to take out the food cleanly and eat it.
Compared to a ninja, she used to think that Itachi was more like the nobles she had seen on her mission to Kyoto Castle in her early years.
Cumbersome etiquette, refined elegance, slow and lazy pace of life......
But today, Mai Trito saw a different side of Itachi eating like this.
There are a lot of things on the table, but he also eats quickly.
And at the same time, the speed is fast, but it does not lose the etiquette and beauty.
Mai Trin never thought that eating alone could be so ...... There are highlights.
Yes, compared to the movies in the cinema in the village, compared to the performances at the celebration, she actually felt very comfortable watching her son eat!
Mai Tamin was surprised by the thought that popped into her mind.
Compared with the aristocratic temperament of Kyoto City, which is pretended to be and accumulated with time, manpower, and material resources, she actually found that her son may be more suitable to be called a nobleman.
That kind of natural extravagance, it's hard to imagine that he is a ninja who was born in the Uchiha clan and will fight on the battlefield in the future.
Wait a minute......
But suddenly, Mai Trin realizes what she has overlooked.
Wind Escape Chakra?
Her eyes widened in amazement at the knife and fork in Itachi's hand.
On top of it, a layer of pale blue chakra is attached.
The sharpness brought by the wind attribute is perfectly displayed on this knife and fork, so that the weasel can easily cope with various ingredients.
That is indeed a change in the nature of the wind attribute, and depending on the degree, it has reached the second stage!
A five-year-old kid who has mastered the change in the nature of chakra!
"I'm full, Mother, you use it slowly."
Itachi didn't delve into what his mother was thinking.
After he finished his meal quietly, he picked up his chopsticks, plates, and the scraps on the table, and walked into the kitchen.
Beside him, Artoria looked satisfied.
"I didn't expect those ingredients to be cooked like this."
She was still reminiscing about the taste that Itachi had just passed on to her, "Your mother's cooking skills are deeper than those of our kingdom's royal chefs. ”
"The beef bone soup just now is a must, both in terms of smell and taste!"
"But instead of salty, it might be more appropriate to add some spicy flavor to it......"
She gushed about Itachi sharing her thoughts.
For the king, who was in a time of famine, the Uchiha family's rich and colorful cuisine made her feel longing.
Itachi didn't ignore her opinion, and from time to time he replied, telling her what he had just thought about the food, and chatting with her.
When he finally realized that Artoria might feel lonely and out of place in this world alone after the destruction of her kingdom, he paid more patience and attention to her feelings.
Artoria taught herself a lot of things, so that she did not take many crooked paths.
If it is reasonable, I should give her a response, at least ...... Don't leave her alone.
"Itachi!"
I just cleaned my plates and chopsticks in the kitchen.
Itachi was leaving the dining hall down the aisle, intending to make a trip back to his room.
But when he was some distance from the door, he heard a familiar voice.
It's Uchiha Teru.
Did he finally come back from his mission?
Itachi paused as he walked towards his room, and turned back towards the doorway.
He remembers...... I have to remind Uchiha Hui and ask him to help him hide his strength.
Otherwise, with his chattering mouth that can't be stopped, maybe soon, his name as a "genius" will spread throughout Uchiha, even Konoha.
At that time, it will be difficult for my father to fulfill his instructions.
But it's a pity that when Itachi came to the door, he had just opened the door and hadn't made a sound, and his eyes fell on the few people standing next to Uchiha Hui, and he was secretly bad in his heart.
"Itachi, long time no see!"
Hui saw the Itachi who opened the door, and was the first to say hello.
And next to him, several teenagers dressed in Uchiha costumes who were shinobi like him looked at Itachi with their eyes.
"This is the genius you are talking about?"
"Just this kid? Looking at the white and tender, can you have the strength to be close to the lower forbearance? ”
"Hui, you've been hiding from us for so long, and you've made up such a fake story."
"Yes, you lost face on the battlefield and were saved by this kid, so you don't have to brag about his strength to elevate yourself."
"Okay, Hui, it's really not good, let's go back to the ninja school for a few years."
……
Several of them looked at Itachi and joked about Uchiha Teru.
In the face of the ridicule of his friends, Uchiha Hui's triangular face turned red, "What am I lying to you for!" Itachi's talent is so strong! ”
"When you were four years old, could you go into battle with the ranks of your clan? Let's play ninja games all over the streets with bare butts. ”
"Itachi is different, not only did he go to the battlefield, but he also survived intact, I think he will be the hope of our Uchiha in the future!"
Such a boast made Itachi's heart couldn't help but thank Uchiha Hui, "I probably shouldn't have agreed to practice with him and let him help as a sparring partner." ”
"Indeed."
Artoria, who originally thought that Itachi should accumulate more actual combat experience, also nodded at this time, "You practice with him, your strength has really changed, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it from others." ”
"I suggest you find a way to advise him and let him keep it a secret."
"Of course...... And these people next to it. ”
