Chapter 51: [Courage]

"It's finally over."

At night, at the dinner table,

Itachi was amazed to find that his father had a smile on his face.

It was stiff, but it was a smile.

This kind of picture surprised both Itachi and Artoria.

"Itachi, I've already talked to Mizumon and the three generations."

Fugaku drank a small wine and said to Itachi, "Recently, one of our clansmen will enter the dark department for an internship. ”

"If things go well, when you graduate from the ninja school and are promoted to the middle ninja, the four generations will also arrange for you to go into the shadows to exercise for a period of time."

"As long as the two of you can stay firmly in the shadows, the clansmen will follow in your footsteps and slowly enter the shadows."

Dark ......

Itachi is a little unfamiliar with the name, but it's not unfamiliar.

The Shadow Department is a special unit of assassination tactics that is subordinate to the Hokage and is directly assigned by the Hokage.

If the Uchiha can enter the Shadows, it means that their clan will gradually be tied to the interests of the Hokage's position and become a solid backing for each generation of Hokage.

As a result, the Uchiha will be in the shadows and lose the opportunity to set foot in the Hokage.

But he was able to slowly take root in this village, and he would not be isolated from Konoha as he had been like before, like duckweed roots.

"Now, you can finally stay at home."

Mai Trin carried the food from the kitchen to the dining room.

Her belly has been around for a few months now, and her belly has risen slightly, unlike before, and she can't see that she is pregnant.

"Don't worry, over there for the garrison, I'll entrust it to the Uchiha for the time being."

Fu Yue smiled and nodded, "For the rest of the time, I will stay at home." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Itachi again, his eyes full of joy and satisfaction, "I've heard your mother say that you have mastered the change in the nature of chakra, and I'm surprised by that. ”

"Later, I will personally guide you on the cultivation of chakra form changes and illusions, you have to be prepared."

Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, father." ”

But after a pause, he added, "Why don't you start the day after tomorrow?" ”

"During this time, I have been practicing with a few good shinobi in the clan, if I don't go, I need to talk to them."

If he practiced with his father, he would not be able to practice with Hui and them.

"Good strength of the lower ninja?"

Fugaku's smile paused, "It's the Uchiha Hui group, right?" ”

Obviously, as the patriarch and captain of the Konoha Garrison, Itachi has been practicing with a lot lately, and he knows very well.

"Yes."

Itachi had no intention of hiding it.

“…… Whatever you want. ”

Uchiha Fugaku originally wanted to dissuade him, but remembering that the matter of the four generations of Hokage had already settled, he changed his tone and said, "You try to appease them as much as possible, and if they have any radical actions and thoughts, you have to report them to me in time." ”

It is also a fact that Konoha and Uchiha have established diplomatic relations, and the external worries have been temporarily calmed down, so the next ...... It's time to address the internal problem.

However, Fugaku had not yet figured out how to deal with the radical people.

Dispose of it directly?

He couldn't give up.

It's the same Uchiha, everyone is working for the Uchiha race, but the ideas and concepts are different.

As the head of a clan, he couldn't kill people because they didn't agree with him.

"Alas......"

Thinking of this, Fuyue's mood that had gradually relaxed because of the easing of his relationship with Konoha tensed again......

……

The next day, Itachi left the house as usual and went to the clan land on the edge of Konoha to practice.

Along the way, everything in Konoha was the same as usual, and it didn't change because of yesterday's visit by Bo Feng Shui Gate and Sarutobi Sun.

It seems that no one knows what this means, nor does it know that there has ever been a contradiction between Uchiha and Konoha.

And in fact, it is.

Only a few people in Konoha Village know about this.

After all, the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha is only in the shadows.

Konoha's attitude towards the Uchiha is like a cold treatment, and the various ethnic groups in the village will not call the Uchiha for any activities.

Therefore, most people in Konoha Village actually don't know that this is the first time that a Hokage has visited the Uchiha clan since his death from Senjuma, and it is also the third and fourth generations of Hokage together.

After arriving at the training site, Uchiha Teru and the others had not yet arrived.

It wasn't until the weasel had undergone daily physical training and the warm-up was over that Hui and the others hurried over.

And their faces are not good-looking.

"Itachi, you're so early."

Uchiha Zen, who was smiling, greeted Itachi, "Do you have any plans to practice in actual combat today?" If I can, I ask to be your sparring partner. ”

"Hey, hey, it was you last time, it's my turn this time."

Next to him, Uchiha Hui replied dissatisfiedly.

"It's supposed to be me, right? My injury was just right, and I didn't take the first few chances. ”

Rin Uchiha was not to be outdone.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Zencho and Uchiha Ki also joined in......

……

Itachi watched quietly as they argued.

"Their mental state...... Wrong. ”

Next to her, Artoria reminded.

"It can be seen that their elders are very concerned about yesterday's events."

Itachi replied in his mind, "What do you think...... Should I take the initiative to bring this up? I still don't know. ”

"After all, my father's philosophy and I are different from that of their elders."

"In the past, we avoided conflicts and contradictions, and we tacitly didn't mention them, but now some things have to be brought to the table."

Hui and the others' conversations were similar to the past, and every day of their practice they were looking forward to fighting with themselves, and it seemed that they felt that they could gain greater enlightenment and progress by fighting with themselves than by fighting with opponents of the same strength.

But...... The conversation is the same as ever.

But Itachi could clearly sense that the demeanor of several of them had obviously changed.

Especially Hui, who still has large bruises on his face, as if he has been slapped hard.

"It's your choice question."

Artoria pondered for a moment, "But my suggestion is...... Do not hesitate to make any decision once it is necessary, acting boldly is the most basic factor of a king. ”

"There are too many gains and losses compared to looking ahead and thinking about the future, and the opportunity is missed."

"Whether you fail or not, it is a necessary experience for a king to make decisive decisions and learn to bear the consequences, and to dare to accept the consequences."

Although it is a multiple-choice question, Artoria's meaning is already obvious.

In this case, Itachi thought for a moment and looked at a few people, "What do you think about the visit of the fourth and third Hokages yesterday?" ”
