"Serving as a Hokage guard at a young age, he is young and promising."

"The eldest son of the Uchiha Fugaku family? I've heard it, I've heard it. ”

"Drink, drink!"

……

I don't know if it's because of the family feast, or if it's because of Sarutobi's face, or if Kakashi and Itachi are both juniors.

Daimyo Sakamoto is a slow-talking, greasy-sounding person.

But in front of the ferrets, they seemed very enthusiastic, and the praise almost never stopped.

And as Sarutobi said, the daimyo may say something that is not good for ninjas, and it does not appear at all.

However, for the praise of the daimyo, Itachi's mouth responds modestly at any time, but he is a little absent-minded in his heart.

And the reason, of course, is the content of the 'transaction'.

During this time, although Itachi behaved very casually and calmly in front of Sakamoto Yusheng, he must be anxious in his heart, after all, it is about whether the family can have a suitable place to live.

If the Daimyo couldn't make a commitment, his plan would be difficult.

But in a hurry, you can't show it, because this is the most basic communication skill.

Itachi didn't know if the daimyo had the idea of testing his patience, but he had to hold the things in his hands tightly, not just let them out.

On the one hand, because there is no way to express it in words,

On the other hand, it is to grasp the initiative of the topic, after all, this 'treasure' will be a revolution for the entire ninja world.

That knowledge is knowledge about how ordinary people cultivate!

"Ahh

And at this moment, there was an exclamation.

In front of the ferret's eyes, a maid holding a fine wine suddenly fell unsteadily, and her body leaned in his direction.

If its face is solid, it will undoubtedly smash straight into the corner of the low table, and it will end up disfigured.

Instinctively, Itachi rose to her feet with great speed and raised her hand to support the maid who was about to fall to the ground, so that her delicate face would not be scarred.

By the way, he also held the wine bottle that was about to fall to the ground in his other hand, so as to prevent the bottle from falling to pieces.

Unfortunately, however, the bottle was tilted when it fell off in the maid's hand, so even if Itachi held the bottle, a lot of it spilled and stained his shirt.

"Right...... I'm sorry! ”

The sudden scene filled the maid's face with fear and panic.

She leaned over the ground and slammed her head against the ground as an apology.

"Presumptuous!"

In this regard, the daimyo who was still smiling suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and his anger was pure anger, "What are you doing with this lowly subordinate?" ”

"If you can't even walk, you might as well cut off those legs so that you don't waste them!"

"Really...... Swept our interest! ”

Beside Itachi, Sarutobi and Kakashi both restrained their smiles and looked at the annoyed daimyo and the kneeling maid.

To be honest, they have been in contact with these people for so many years, and they can understand that in their eyes, the subordinates who serve them are not human beings in a sense, but when they really face them, they still can't help frowning.

"There's no need to be so angry, she just slipped her foot."

Sarutobi unconsciously opened his mouth and dissuaded the daimyo, "Itachi is just dirty clothes, just change it." ”

"Japanese slash, this is the rule of the Daimyo's Mansion."

However, the daimyo insisted unrelentingly, "If these subordinates are so careless in doing things, then where will the face of my daimyo mansion go?" ”

"But since you spoke, I won't cut off her leg, but the punishment must be there."

So saying, he summoned his subordinates and pulled out the maid who was begging for mercy.

"Father."

At this time, while the daimyo was talking, Natsuharu Sakamoto, who had been sitting next to him and had never spoken, asked softly, "Why don't you let me choose a new outfit for Itachi as an apology?" ”

"I remember that a few days ago, Yunokuni sent a batch of high-quality fabrics."

"I'm now asking the Dressing Department to produce the tailoring measurements before they leave."

As he spoke, he got up.

"It doesn't have to be that way, it's just a little bit of wine, it's not in the way."

Itachi shook his head calmly and rejected the offer.

Hearing this, the daimyo on the main seat frowned, and scolded coldly, "Dressing in the middle of the banquet is basic etiquette, and it is very important. ”

"The contamination of the guests' clothes during the banquet is not your personal matter, light or not."

"I know that you ninjas don't usually pay attention to these, but this is the king's family banquet, even if you are a child and don't know the etiquette, you will inevitably despise the daimyo's mansion too much!"

As he spoke, he wanted to say something.

But Ape Fei Ri Chop had the idea of blocking the words for Itachi, and hurriedly dissuaded him slowly, "Weasel, you can follow His Royal Highness Xia Qing to measure the data and accept this gift." ”

He was afraid that if the daimyo continued to talk about it, it would have to be something that was not very nice to a ninja.

Itachi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Then, under the leadership of Sakamoto Natsuharu, he temporarily left the scope of the family banquet.

"Uchiha...... Weasel? ”

Natsuharu Sakamoto, who had a calm face, was walking down the stairs with Itachi on the fourth floor with a smile on his face, and a sound of praise sounded, "Your cooperation just now is very interesting." ”

"Will that maid be punished?"

Itachi's face was very calm, and his words were not concerned with this, but with the maid just now.

The reason for his inquiry, although partly concerned about the handmaiden's situation, partly also had a sense of temptation.

Just now, Itachi could tell from the maid's movements and demeanor that it didn't look like she was acting at all, but that there was really an accident.

"Naturally, you have to do a full set of plays, but it won't be such a cruel punishment."

Sakamoto Natsuharu replied as a matter of course, "In fact, she is not the one who knows, but someone has done something to her shoes. ”

"And the man who did the trick himself has a contradiction with this maid in private."

"So don't worry, even if the three generations of Hokage noticed something afterwards and sent someone to track it down, he won't be able to find out anything."

"Because from beginning to end, although this matter is the result of you and me leaving alone, for everyone who advances this process, they don't know the cause of this matter at all."

"Even the three generations of Hokage themselves are part of the process."

There is no doubt that the move just now was to make a scene in order to leave reasonably alone in front of Sarutobi and Kakashi.

For a person like Ape Fei Ri Slash, who has been in a high position for many years, it is not easy to make a scene in front of him and deceive him.

So...... In the process, it is necessary to borrow the stereotype of the ninja for the aristocracy.

The ninja knew very well that the nobles of them were judged by them as 'brutal', 'simple', and 'vulgar'......

And the nobles are also very aware that the ninjas' evaluation of them is nothing more than 'regular', 'cumbersome', and 'rigid'......

And before that, the daimyo almost continued to let Sarutobi participate in the banquet, which was also a reasonable and effective solidification of this impression.

For these things, Itachi sees it very clearly as a person who seems to be in the middle of the game, but is also on the outside.

Although these people in the Daimyo Mansion did not possess chakra, they could not use illusions.

But some of their methods are more terrifying than illusion, a way of guiding people's thoughts and thoughts invisibly.

However, after the results have occurred, when the process is analyzed, there are few loopholes and little evidence of validity.

For example, even if there was no cause and effect, the daimyo would have invited Sarutobi to the party, because this was something he had experienced when Sarutobi came to the Daimyo's mansion before, so it seemed natural.

To describe it in a simple sentence, it is probably that he was cheated, but he still has to help the number of people to pay and honestly send the money to others, and the person who has been deceived from beginning to end does not know who the person who deceived himself is.

Itachi suddenly thought of a person, the 'anti-thief' who was called an 'anti-thief' in Sarufei's mouth, and who carried the banner of 'a country only needs one king' - the former Daimyo's Guardian Twelve - and Ma.
