Was it to remind yourself......

Listening to the heavy emphasis of Zhishui's words, Itachi did not speak.

And the expression on his face is always calm.

"Itachi, you understand what I'm talking about, right?"

But Itachi's performance made Uchiha Shisui a little stunned.

Could it be that you are too complicated to speak?

No, with the way Itachi had spoken when he had been in contact with him, he shouldn't have been incomprehensible.

Or...... He hasn't understood the situation yet, hasn't he understood that Konoha and Uchiha are no longer friends?

"I'll pass it on to my father about it."

Itachi nodded, but didn't mention that he had already sensed Konoha's trap and was going to do it.

It's not that he has great doubts about the clansman in front of him who has come to remind him, but it's not necessary.

There's no need for him to be caught between the two.

“…… You have to work hard. ”

Hearing Itachi's response, Zhishui didn't know if he understood it or not.

But in any case, his mission as a ninja in the shadows has been accomplished.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, what should be reminded has already been reminded.

The rest can only depend on the patriarch's own choice.

Zhishui didn't stay in the forest for long, and he needed to go back to his life.

This task was given by the three generations of Hokage a few days ago, but it was not until today that he successfully completed it.

If it is delayed any longer, the original excuse of prevaricating the task overtime will be useless.

"He looks pitiful."

Looking at the back of Uchiha Shisui leaving with Artoria, Itachi's ears rang with her regretful words, "On the one hand, there is the village that I approve of and want to work hard to protect, and on the other hand, my own family, a family connected by blood." ”

"His smile isn't as much as it used to be, and it's not as gentle as it used to be."

"The whole person is like being pressed by a mountain, revealing a thick gloomy atmosphere from head to toe."

For this, the ferret can also see.

In the past, Shisui liked to talk to himself about the 'will of fire' in his heart after the sparring.

At that time, his smile was full of yearning for the future and hope for peace.

And now, he seems to be a little afraid to face the future......

"It's going to be over."

Itachi retracted his gaze, "As long as ...... Let's all work together. ”

He seemed to be talking to Artoria, and he was talking to himself......

……

When they returned home, Mr. and Mrs. Fuyue had not yet returned home.

After all, as the patriarch and the wife of the patriarch, they need to wait for the majority of the entire clan to come back with them.

Itachi first went to the bedroom and made sure that his brother was still asleep and had not woken up.

Then he took the cake in the kitchen that his mother had said.

Then I went back to the study.

Now, compared to his own room, the study is where he spends the most time at home.

"What are you going to do? Concerning...... Three generations of Hokage invite you to go out of the village together. ”

Artoria picked up a piece of cake covered in cream and strawberries with a fork and put it into her mouth, and asked as if suggestively, "Although the three generations of Hokage have always behaved kindly in front of us. ”

"But if it involves Konoha, it's hard to say whether he will make a move on you."

"But I suggest you talk to your father."

Although she has always praised Konoha a lot.

But once the queen of a king, Artoria knew very well that when faced with some choices, the superior needed to abandon some mercy and humanity......

"I remember last time, you said that you would get tired of eating too much cake."

Itachi didn't answer immediately, but watched as she ate the cake that should have belonged to her.

It's late spring and early summer, so the strawberries on the white cream should be very sweet, right?

"The taste you pass on is obviously different from what I eat by myself."

Artoria said solemnly, "When you settle the question about my identity, I must taste all the food my mother cooks again!" ”

His serious posture was even more serious than when he had just asked him about his next steps.

Itachi, however, noticed that her words were now faintly addressed in the manner of mother, instead of 'your mother' or 'your father' as before.

As for when it started...... It probably started from the moment Sasuke shouted 'sister'.

His heart was happy about this.

Maybe it's because I'm happy to have such a family member, or maybe I'm happy because my friends can really integrate into the world and no longer be alone.

"In fact, even if the issue of identity is not solved, there are still many opportunities for you to taste the food cooked by your mother."

Itachi whispered, "As long as I talk to my mother, she can help me prepare it alone, and then ...... We can eat in the study. ”

“…… Huh? ”

Artoria bit the lip of the silver fork and let out a confused sound, her head tilted slightly, and the dull hair on the top of her head fell with it.

"Huh!"

Immediately afterward, she reluctantly realized the feasibility of this matter!

"Tonight! Just tonight! ”

Artoria looked at Itachi seriously, "Let's eat in the study tonight!" ”

"Have you forgotten?"

Itachi was a little amused in his heart, "Tonight, I have to talk to my father about Ape Fei Ri Slash taking me out of the village. ”

"Ah...... To Ang. ”

Artoria picked up a large piece of cake in frustration and comforted herself, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll say hello to my mother in advance, and I'll make the dishes you're looking forward to at the time."

Itachi said softly.

When she discovered that their sense of taste could also be shared through telepathy, Artoria often commented on her mother's cooking.

Among them, there are several dishes that she is extremely interested in.

However, with this episode, Artoria forgot to continue to ask Itachi about his next plans.

And the weasel didn't mention it again.

But he already knew how to deal with this matter.

As for why the topic was deliberately left aside, it was simply because Itachi didn't want Artoria to get caught up in these things.

In fact, he had rarely consulted with Artoria lately about such deceitful matters.

And instead of asking Artoria to negotiate with him, which is very complicated, there is no right or wrong, only positions and interests, he hopes that the other party can talk more about daily life, food, play, culture, and entertainment.

Because Itachi felt that, rather than drowning in these dark affairs, Artoria was talking about food, secretly teasing Sasuke alone, and looking forward to what to eat tomorrow...... , she's a little more relaxed.

It's as if Artoria has returned to the sword in the stone, the throne, and the ...... It's just what she looks like when she was an ordinary country girl.

There was no need for her to get involved in the Uchiha's affairs.

Or rather, there is no need to mix in these unpalatable options.

It's like the Itachi doesn't want the water to be mixed into the dilemma between the village and the family.

He also didn't want Artoria to go through what she had experienced again, to become ruthless and cold.
