"Young Master Itachi, this house is your next residence."

Guided by a handsome maid with a beautiful face and a graceful posture, Itachi slowly walked to a courtyard.

"I'm Linzi in charge of this annex, and you can tell me whatever you need."

A soft and crisp voice rang out from the mouth of a maid named Linzi, "I usually live in a side room next to the main house, and if you need to, I can also move to the main house to serve you." ”

On its face, every pore is expressing the meaning of 'flattering', and those eyes like autumn water are always conveying the message of 'calling me' to the ferret.

"No need, I'll just live alone."

Itachi replied calmly and walked towards the main house with a blank face.

But before he could take a few steps, Linzi slowly followed, "Young Master Itachi, do you need me to help you prepare the bath water?" ”

“…… When you're ready, call me. ”

Itachi did not refuse her offer.

But soon, he added, "By the way, grab some food, thank you." ”

"Young Master Itachi, you are too polite, as long as you need it, I will do everything well."

For Itachi's thanks, Linzi was very frightened.

"I see, I'll tell you if I need to."

Itachi was a little unaccustomed to the feeling of being served, "But if I didn't say anything, you don't have to take the initiative to find me, and you don't need to wait for the shower." ”

He suddenly remembered that in Artoria's memory, people with high status were served even when they were taking a bath, and they didn't have to do it themselves, and there would be special people to help with cleaning, pinching shoulders, and massage...... things.

In order to avoid such an embarrassing thing from happening, Itachi directly stopped the possibility of this kind of thing from happening.

In this regard, although Linzi was very regretful, she still nodded obediently.

After explaining what had happened to him in the past few days, Itachi pushed open the door of the main house and walked in, followed by the smell of burning special wood.

He instinctively frowned and held his breath.

But soon, after seeing the incense burner in a corner of the room, Itachi regained the rhythm of his breathing.

The incense has a calming effect, is non-toxic and beneficial to the human body, and he once smelled it in his father's study when he was at home.

Immediately afterward, Itachi's eyes surveyed the decoration of the room.

A ray of dark red candlelight ran down the gap in the hollow withered lampshade and hit the smooth wall of the room.

Embedded in the wall, a majestic landscape of the country is lifelike under the glow of candlelight.

The sun on it was actually set with precious stones, and even the 'sunlight' in the painting was the result of a kind of gold dust.

Just a mural, whether it is the superb technique of the painting or the specifications of the material, it shows the words 'expensive' and 'extravagant'.

In addition to the murals, there are also all kinds of strange-looking bronze utensils in the room, military chess pieces carved out of jade, guqin and jade flute that look old......

Viewing and playing...... All sorts of objects that existed only in Artoria's memories came to the weasel's eyes.

"He's really gone out of his way to show you what to see...... The life of the aristocracy. ”

Artoria also looked at the furnishings in the room, and a smiling voice sounded in Itachi's ears, "I guess you think you're different from ordinary ninjas, and it's easier to be immersed and lost in this glitzy life?" ”

"He wants ninjas like you to be like him."

"It's a pity that you have seen in my memory more splendid and magnificent buildings and ...... Ornament. ”

She attributes these valuable furnishings to 'ornaments'.

It is different from illusion, but a more clever way, penetrating from the spiritual will and mind, to change a person.

Being in such an environment, I have seen the so-called extravagant life, eating, drinking, and washing are all waiting for me.

Even a determined ninja has a hard time accepting reality.

Why are they all living in this world as human beings, ninjas need to pay with their lives to fight, while nobles who are 'ordinary people' can enjoy these luxurious and beautiful things with peace of mind.

She felt that Sakamoto Yusheng was planning to change Itachi in this way.

In fact, although Britain was not prosperous during Artoria's reign, it was more in grain, wood, and stone...... There is a lack of important living resources, and those treasures and buildings that have been handed down since the founding of the country are all there.

So this level of temptation, for the weasel who has seen her kingdom, will not be tempted at all.

However, Itachi disagreed, and calmly replied in his heart, "He doesn't necessarily have that in mind. ”

"This kind of life is very difficult for ordinary ninjas to resist."

"But I can't guess what he thinks for a while, maybe ...... I might just want to see and understand. ”

As he spoke, he stepped his mud-stained boots on the red carpet that covered the room, and slowly came to a table and sat down.

When Kakashi went to report to Sarutobi Hizaki, Itachi was finally given a moment of freedom.

Since he came to the door as a friend of Sakamoto Yusheng, he naturally did not live in the courtyard arranged by the daimyo like the ape flying to the sun.

It was arranged by Sakamoto Yusheng, a friend.

For these rules, they, the princes and nobles, are always very particular.

"I want to ask you for a favor for me."

Playing with the jade cup on the table, Itachi hesitated for a moment, looked at Artoria who was sitting opposite, and said softly, "Although you may refuse, I still hope you can help me." ”

Aside from guiding his practice, he didn't bother Artoria at all.

It's like that mentions, she can easily carry out assassination work with the help of this state, and it's just a mention.

When Artoria said it was impossible, the Itachi didn't speak.

Even most of the time, she inadvertently acts as her own eyes, and it is just her own behavior.

Itachi never asked for it to be his eyes.

This time, though, he had to ask Artoria for help, as Ape Flying Sun's surveillance was too close.

Without her, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish the rest of the story.

"In the form of a request, you may be underestimating our relationship during this time."

Artoria looked at him helplessly, "Tell me what it is first, if it is an insidious and dirty thing, please forgive me for refusing as a friend." ”

"On the contrary, I also hope that I can help you as a friend and if I can."

She always felt that Itachi was a little too polite and caring for her in many things.

Obviously, I am the one who is the oldest.

"It's about the next ...... of the Uchiha A new home. ”

Itachi hesitated, calling it 'new home'.

"I'm going to find a suitable area in the outer or inner city of Kyoto as a new family land."

"With the current situation, it is impossible for the Uchiha to stay in Konoha any longer."

"So we need a new identity, a new gathering place, a new mode of operation......"

In fact, ever since the Nine-Tails Night happened, Itachi has been wondering where the future of the Uchiha is.

On the day of Zuosuke's first birthday banquet, the indifferent attitude of the other Konoha families made Itachi firm up some ideas.

That is, leave Konoha.

There is no doubt that the future of the Uchiha will never be Konoha.

Many of Konoha's families are unwilling to get along with the Uchiha, and since this is the case, of course the Uchiha is unwilling and impossible to rely on Konoha with a dead face.

Even though, they are the heroes of the village as Konoha.

Though this 'home' was built by them, and though these 'families' came later,

But when these 'family members' are unwilling to treat them as one of them, it doesn't make much sense to forcibly stay in this 'family'.

As for why they, as masters, are leaving, rather than choosing to drive these people out of this 'home'.

Because in a sense, it would be easier for them to leave on their own and build a new 'home', after all, there are still many enemies in the world outside this 'home'.

But there are some things that you can't just think about.

As for the Uchiha's own belonging, it is not necessarily up to them to decide.

After all, it is not the Warring States period, not the era based on clans, but the era based on villages.

As a famous ninja family, even if the Uchiha is willing to leave Konoha, is Konoha willing to let the Uchiha go?

In addition to this, there are many problems.

such as

Where is the Uchiha going after leaving? Answer: There is only the land of fire, or other countries.

And if it's in the Land of Fire, are they going to continue to survive as ninjas?

This is unknown, after all, as a ninja, whether it is a ninja or an ordinary person's position, it can be completed relatively effectively, with the help of ninjutsu.

But if they continue to be ninjas, there is no doubt that they will have a conflict of interest with Konoha .

After all, with such a large family, there are not a few funds needed for daily expenses.

Although Itachi never had to worry about the money for the purchase of medicinal herbs when he was doing physical exercises, if the Uchiha left Konoha and had no financial supplies, then things like this would often become a problem for the family.

And if it were other countries, would they be enemies of the Fire Nation?

There is no doubt that if the Uchiha decided to settle in other countries and establish his own ninja village, there is a high probability that he would not be able to leave Konoha or the Fire Country without absolute strength.

……

If you think about it, there are so many problems that need to be solved, and on this trip to Kyoto, Itachi is trying to find a solution to the problem.

He prefers to stay in the Land of Fire rather than join other countries and start from scratch.

After all, this country is more suitable for the Uchiha to live here for a long time, both in terms of climate and climate.

Moreover......

Staying in the Fire Country is not a starting over, and Itachi has a greater certainty of completing his plan to leave Konoha.
