Konoha 51 years, late spring,

Uchiha clan land, Nanga Shrine.

Late spring is approaching summer, and the weather is already a little hot.

Even at night, the air is filled with the stuffiness of the day.

Itachi and Artoria sit together on the roof of Minamiga Shrine, looking out at the stars in the sky.

Although, it is often used as a place for clan meetings.

But in the absence of a clan council, there are not many clansmen stationed there.

For today's Itachi, it is not difficult to infiltrate.

"What do you think...... Will Hui come tonight? ”

Artoria had a slight expectation in her tone.

"Whether I come or not, when he asks me what I mean by offering my writing wheel, I already have a rough idea of his answer."

Compared to Artoria's expectations, Itachi was calm.

He crossed his hands behind his head, lay on the eaves, and looked at the stars in the sky, "But if I come, I think I'll be happier." ”

"I hope he can come."

Artoria sat beside her in a dignified manner, and said her thoughts very bluntly, "How ...... would it be if you took the initiative to sacrifice the people you cherish as a condition in exchange for a powerful Sharingan?" There is no bottom line for a person. ”

"They have a bottom line."

Almost as soon as her words fell, Itachi spoke up and retorted to her, "I think the greater reason why Hui and them were willing to listen to me and think on my side was because of their companions in their respective ranks. ”

"After all, even if my talent is very strong, they have already recognized me in terms of strength as the next patriarch of the Uchiha, but ......"

"That's not enough!"

There was a rare excitement in his voice, but the thoughts in his mind were always clear.

"I prefer it to me that Hui is on the side of the conservatives, who are reluctant to leave their companions and who are not willing to be their enemies, but are forced by their elders to stand in the ranks of the radicals."

Itachi continued, "And the reason why Uchiha Aoto is willing to wait may be because he sees my talent, or because he understands that the radical faction in the clan is weak. ”

"But I think the bigger reason is that they all know very well that their children actually want to live in peace with Konoha."

"Hui They can oppose their elders for the sake of their cherished companions, they definitely have a self-bottom line, and it is impossible to hold this idea that 'it is worth celebrating in exchange for strength for their companions'......"

He analyzed with Artoria his understanding of Hui and the others' willingness to stand beside him before.

Itachi never felt how powerful he was, and was able to turn their stance around with just a few words.

At least...... At this stage, based on age and one's own experience, it does not have that much influence.

From Artoria's teachings to herself, Itachi knew very well that it was not easy to change the position and thinking of others.

Let Hui and the others stand on their side, and let the Uchiha Aoto and the others suspend their actions, this requires a lot of factors as a basis, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved by saying a word or two from oneself or showing strong talent.

It can only be said that his talent and performance are only used as a hub, and the factor that achieves all this is more because Hui himself still has nostalgia for Konoha people.

Let Itachi clearly recognize himself, and understand the commanding ability, convincing, and dominance...... The same is the teaching of Artoria.

With the invasion of the Roman Empire by foreign enemies, it gradually showed a tendency to disappear and divide, and the British Islands, which were once part of the Roman Empire, fell into a situation of self-strife.

During the reign of King Uther, the previous king of Britain, Britain was like the end of the twilight, and there was no morale in the country, and the economy, food, and troops were ...... Everything is going downhill.

There is no hope for the people, and they have no resistance to even the raging invasion of the enemy country.

In response to this, King Uther first prophesied in the name of the sword in the stone that "the man who draws the sword will become the hope of Britain and lead the kingdom to glory".

After that, the so-called sword drawing ceremony was carried out for many years, and countless knights in the country tried it, and decided that it was an impossible thing.

In the end, when Artoria appeared and drew the sword in the stone, the momentum of the entire kingdom reached an unprecedented peak.

She became the king of course, leading the people who had been suppressed for a long time to win one defense war after another.

From the Itachi's point of view, the steps are simple.

However, it is not easy for people in the situation to implement it, and the time, energy, and computing power consumed in it are unimaginable.

Britain is almost at a gamble with fate,

Bet that the kingdom will not die until Artoria grows up,

Bet that after Artoria becomes king, the kingdom's army still has the strength to fight,

Bet that the people want to believe that they have created this king......

This gamble turned Britain around, which should have ended with King Uther,

Let the hearts of the British people, who were tired of war and compromise with the invaders, once again raise a fire.

If it weren't for King Uther's foundation, Artoria would not have followed her orders if she had stepped on the throne with a sword in the stone held high.

After all, she didn't have real honor at that time, she was just an immature girl dressed as a teenager, and she didn't have enough experience and ability to set off her convincing, dominating, and commanding ability to the people......

And when Artoria really led the knights of the kingdom to victory after victory, as prophesied, she gradually gathered her prestige in the process.

So when he was persuading Uchiha Hui and the others, he didn't actually have such a strong convincing power, but just took the opportunity to raise the "sword in the stone" and said what they expected in their hearts.

In this process, of course, they will grasp this "excuse" as a matter of course, and imprint in their hearts the characteristics that their words and actions are quite convincing.

That's how it works.

Without the nostalgia of Uchiha and the others for their companions from Konoha, their own operations would not have been completed.

This is the reason why Itachi insisted from beginning to end, and Uchiha Hui and others left a bottom line.

If it weren't for that, he might have really felt that the people were so ugly and narrow-minded.

"But the time has passed......"

Artoria's regretful voice rang out, "Looks like he's not coming." ”

When the minutes and seconds passed, and it was the early hours of the next morning, the figure of the Uchiha Hui did not appear in front of them.

"Wait."

Itachi didn't move, his face didn't fluctuate, he just stared at the sky.

"Perhaps...... You should bring something to eat. ”

Artoria did not persuade him, but followed his example, with her hands behind her head and lying on the eaves, "The waiting time is long, and if you have something to eat at this time, it should feel like a picnic." ”

"The smell of food can affect action."

Itachi declined the offer, glancing casually at the movement of her armor as it touched the eaves.
