"This is Uncle Huomen and Uncle Yu, remember? We had been to the front together. ”

"This Aunt Sleeve Cloud, is ...... Temple of the Lady. ”

"And this one, you can call her Aunt Hazuki, she has a sweet shop in the clan land, and your mother often takes care of her."

"Finally, there is the stop water, as I mentioned to you, the pride of our clan."

……

When the New Year passed, the ninja school ushered in the entrance ceremony.

Because the time of enrollment and the start of school are different, after a short report and successive speeches by the two generations of Hokage, Fugaku left the ninja school with Itachi and met the same group of clansmen who entered the ninja school with him in the Spring Rain Building...... Elders.

"Good afternoon, my name is Itachi Uchiha."

After entering the door, there were already several adults and children waiting at the dinner table, and as the father explained one by one, Itachi politely introduced himself to several adults.

And in his heart, he already had a concept of these people.

I've seen the radicals of the Uchiha.

So right now, these clansmen who can let their father take the initiative to bring them to know are probably the conservatives in the clan, right?

“…… Compared to a year ago, it doesn't seem to have changed much. ”

Uchiha Huomen looked at Itachi seriously and looked at Fugaku solemnly, "Patriarch, I suggest that you exercise Itachi rigorously, so that he can take your place earlier and better." ”

Firegate seems to be a more pragmatic person.

"But the temperament is different from a year ago."

Next to him, the Uchiha Yu was more accommodating, "It's not so silent, and...... Polite too. ”

Itachi has an impression of both of them.

They are the Uchiha's shinobi, and together with the dead Uchiha-ji Temple, they set out on the battlefield as the commander of the team.

After returning from the battlefield, it was the two of them who followed Fugaku to the Hokage Building to report the battle report.

In particular, Uchiha Ha, while Fugaku was on vacation, he temporarily took over the job of captain of the Konoha garrison.

And Uchiha Hazuki, Itachi once bought sweets in her shop, and she has the impression that she is a retired Nakashinobi.

It stands to reason that she, a retired ninja, would not have had the opportunity to participate in this kind of dinner, but since her daughter was a student at the same time as herself, her father, as the patriarch, did not neglect to invite her to join her.

As for the Uchiha Sleeve Cloud, he hadn't seen it once.

"When it comes to Itachi's cultivation, I have my own decisions."

To Uchiha Huomon's proposal, Uchiha Fugaku replied casually, but didn't think too much about getting involved in this topic, "Itachi, this is Han, the son of Yu. ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Itachi to look at the other children next to him, "Uchiha Kotone, Uchiha Seikoto, the daughter and son of Tera and Zenyun. ”

"Naka, the daughter of the Fire Gate."

"Izumi, Hazuki's daughter."

"You are next to be the same students, and you have to take care of them."

With his father's explanation, Itachi looked at the few people who were looking at him curiously, and greeted them politely.

However, his attention was not too much on a few children.

The impression is probably ...... Three women and two men.

Itachi's attention was mainly on the Uchiha Shisui, who said in the father's mouth, "With the same talent as you and the same strength as me".

Short hair, gentle ...... This was Itachi's first impression of Uchiha Shisui.

Although he didn't speak, the smile on his face gave him a feeling similar to facing Bo Feng Shuimen.

However, compared to the strong sun of the wave wind and water gate, the Uchiha water stop is more like warm spring water.

The next dinner was divided into two tables.

Fuyue and a few of their older people have a table, and Itachi and their children have a table with Zhishui.

At the round table that is not too wide, next to Itachi sat Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Han,

The meaning of the seating order is obvious.

“…… It's a novel way to eat. ”

As the oldest teenager at the table, the Uchiha Shisui broke the silence of the table.

I saw him looking curiously at the weasel holding the knife and fork, "This way of eating will reduce the speed and waste excess time, right?" ”

"My father said that speed and time are the most important things in a ninja."

And next to him, as Yu's son, Uchiha Han took the opportunity to talk, "Although I eat like this, it looks like ...... Good looking, but overly complicated for ninjas. ”

He has an untapped brain capacity that can't find many adjectives.

As for Uchiha Qingcheng and the others, they were all eating obediently and did not speak.

"Cumbersome techniques, after improving proficiency, can also make up for the shortcomings in speed and time."

Itachi didn't explain much, and expressed his meaning with practical actions.

When a tender cutlet, with the nimble swing of a knife and fork, is gradually dismembered into several small portions and disappears into the weasel's mouth in less than a minute.

Originally, he was going to continue to expand on the topic of "speed and time", but Uchiha Han, who livened up the atmosphere of the table, silently closed his mouth.

"Make up for deficiencies through proficiency...... Very interesting idea. ”

And Uchiha Shisui repeated Itachi's words just now.

From this short sentence, he understood part of Itachi's thoughts, "For Itachi, is sweat enough to make up for talent?" Then your cultivation should be very hard. ”

There is a bit of teaching in his words.

As the person who was asked by the patriarch, he more or less knew the level of some of the children in front of him who had just reported at the ninja school.

Chakra properties, chakra morphological changes, chakra control......

Many of the conditions that Shangnin should have, this child has mastered.

As someone who is also talented, Shisui wonders what Itachi thinks about the difference between talent and hard work.

"I didn't think about it."

Itachi replied calmly, words do not affect the speed and demeanor of eating, "A person who has a purpose and really wants to become stronger, whether he has talent or not, he will work hard to improve himself in various ways. ”

"In the same way, if a person with talent wants to be strong, he will work hard."

"Rather than dwelling on talent and hard work, we should focus more on the idea and purpose of becoming stronger."

Oh?

Zhishui's eyes were full of curiosity, he only knew that Itachi had a talent in cultivation, but he didn't expect him to be so mature in his thoughts as a child.

"The idea and purpose of becoming stronger?"

Focusing on the patriarch at the other table, he turned to Itachi and asked, "Itachi, when you attended the entrance ceremony just now, you should have heard the speeches of the third and fourth generations of adults, so do you think that the will of fire can become the idea and purpose of becoming a person stronger?" ”

Itachi replied without hesitation, "Yes." ”

The answer is that most of the people in the village are growing up with the "will of fire".

As for whether I can or not, that's what I want to say.

For someone who has just met for a short time, Itachi doesn't want to explain too much, even if his father is present.
