Autumn

In the cool night, the crescent moon in the sky is reflected in the clear mirror-like water.

And in the middle of this mirror-like lake, there is a stone pavilion in the middle of the lake.

On it, two men in brocade robes were lying on soft chairs.

In front of them, there was a fishing rod that was quietly erected.

"Brother, can you really catch fish in the middle of the night?"

One of the men was emaciated and had a beard on his chin.

It is the second son of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Sakamoto Yusheng.

And the one next to him who is called 'brother' is naturally his eldest brother, that is, the eldest son of the daimyo - Sakamoto Natsuharu.

"Do you really think I'm fishing?"

Sakamoto Natsuharu glanced at this younger brother, who was more than ten years younger, "I'm just passing the time, there are too many things to think about, and I can't sleep at night." ”

But soon, when he stopped looking at the beard on his chin, he shook his head helplessly, "Sixteen-year-old young man, you have to learn from me and my father to grow beards, and I don't know what your thoughts are. ”

Compared with Sakamoto Yusheng, who is thin because of congenital deficiencies, Sakamoto Natsuharu's figure is tall and sturdy, and he often exercises at a glance.

Moreover, the spirit on his body is also different from Sakamoto Yusheng.

But soon, Sakamoto Natsuharu's face gradually became serious, "That...... Itachi Uchiha, did he really come to trade with us on behalf of the Uchiha clan, hoping to move out of Konoha? ”

"Yes, but the letter has been retrieved by unknown means."

Sakamoto Yusheng nodded, "I need to ask first, what can he pay to trade with us?" ”

Just now, after Itachi delivered the message of the transaction, he rushed to his brother non-stop and reported the information in the letter word for word.

"I still remember...... When you first came back from Konoha two years ago, you often mentioned the person Uchiha Itachi. ”

Lying lazily on the chair, Natsuharu Sakamoto didn't reply, but instead asked, "But then you don't seem to have much contact, right?" ”

"I didn't send him a letter, and he didn't contact me."

Sakamoto Yusheng replied honestly, "To be honest, we just met once, even ...... A friend shouldn't be counted, but after all, it's Uchiha, and I still give enough face to give, and he's really different from ordinary ninjas. ”

"How is it different?"

Natsuharu Sakamoto asked again, "Yusheng, you should understand that the thinking of ninjas is different from ours. ”

"At the beginning, Kazuma Ming offered such generous conditions to others, but there are still only five ninjas who are willing to stand on the same side as him."

"Ninja, obviously for money, you can kill a person you don't know at will, but when faced with some things...... The choices and practices are strange and elusive. ”

He was referring to the incident of guarding the twelve ninjas, but unfortunately, this event failed.

Fortunately, the Daimyo's Mansion never made a move, so Kazuma took care of everything alone, and with the idea that 'there only needs to be a Daimyo and a king in a country', he became a 'criminal' wanted by Konoha.

"At the beginning, it should have been my words and deeds that gave me a different feeling from a ninja."

Sakamoto Yusheng didn't participate too much in the incident with horses, so he didn't say much to comment, just recalled the appearance of the first time he met Itachi, "Very polite, very polite, and very polite." ”

"Brother, you may not have seen someone eat when they can be so delicate that it looks like they are dancing, and even your appetite will be aroused unconsciously."

"That's it...... Whether it is holding a knife and fork, a fast child or a soup spoon, from dividing the food to picking it up and then swallowing, the ferret is particularly beautiful when eating. ”

He had a hard time describing the feeling.

It's an elegant, appealing way to eat.

“…… Hah, and then what? ”

Sakamoto Xia Qing, who was still serious-looking, laughed awkwardly at his brother's description, and unconsciously stayed away from him a little.

"And then there's the conversational aspect."

As for his brother, who suddenly moved a little to the side, Sakamoto Yusheng didn't know what he thought, and introduced, "Do you know how old he was at the time? Six years old. ”

"A six-year-old child, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics...... He is proficient in everything, abandoning the archery and defense that ninjas have an advantage in, and those ninjas don't pay attention to at all, he also has a perfect mastery. ”

"When I talked to him, I even forgot his age, from economics to culture to governance...... We talked about a lot of things, and although it wasn't particularly deep, there was no doubt that he had ink in his belly. ”

"And he learned all this from books."

"There is a golden house in the book, and it is hard to imagine that this sentence is realistic for some people!"

As he spoke, he laughed.

Even if he hadn't been in touch for two years, that day, Uchiha Itachi, a vulgar ninja he had once looked down upon, really surprised him a lot.

Perhaps any person from a noble or official family in Kyoto Castle would not have brought him such a huge contrast.

"Is it so high?"

Sakamoto Natsuharu said thoughtfully, taking his eyes off his brother and looking instead at the dark and dead lake in front of him.

"Regardless of whether Uchiha Itachi's intention is his personal behavior, or whether he has the guidance of some old people in the Uchiha behind him, it can be seen that he has a clear distinction in the situation."

"I haven't seen him in two years, but he seems to be very familiar with the information of our Daimyo's Mansion, and besides, you said that he guessed it, and we have been paying attention to the movements of the Uchiha."

"There is no doubt that he is interested in the Daimyo's Mansion."

"But in those two years, he hasn't been in touch with you."

"I remember...... Before the Nine-Tails Disaster, the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha was repaired quite well, and it should be for this reason that they did not dare to contact you to avoid mistakes and omissions in the situation. ”

"And now the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha should not be repaired at that time, so he simply stopped caring about Konoha and tried to contact us directly."

"Judging from the requirements mentioned in his letter, although his plan is bold, many things are considered quite comprehensively."

Speaking of this, he paused, "Such a person, he definitely has enough 'treasures' in his hands to exchange for those contents on the letter, instead of threatening in a simple and crude way." ”

"But this treasure, since he did not mention it in the first letter, he wanted to come...... It is a 'treasure' that is difficult to reveal in words. ”

"Maybe we should find an opportunity to separate the ape from the shadows beside him, so that my father can see Itachi with his own eyes."

"And it's best to do it in ...... Konoha did not realize it. ”

Although they were very curious about the 'treasure' that the Uchiha wanted to trade.

But after all, we don't know what it is.

If at that time, the weight of this thing is not worth the loss of their Daimyo Mansion offending Konoha, and the matter is discovered by Konoha again, then it will inevitably mean that they are forced to cut first and then play.

Natsuharu Sakamoto had never seen Itachi, so he speculated about his behavior relatively insidiously and prepared in advance.

Lnot, the Uchiha family was empty gloves white wolf.
