The golden sword is spiritual.

It was a strange feeling when Itachi watched the golden sword dissipate from his hand like sunlight, and then appear in the palm of his hand under his own communication.

After convincing the Golden Sword to make sure that it would not contaminate the blade, she finally agreed to the test.

However, when Itachi tried to engrave a contract seal on the sword, sealing the connection between the golden sword and himself, it did not have the same effect as before.

He was still able to communicate with the sword very easily, and fought alongside it.

So......

The power of the seal is not a force that completely ignores strength and weakness.

Or rather, there is a limit to the amount of sealing you can cast.

"Sure enough, it's not easy to start with the sealing technique to improve your strength."

Itachi summed up the use of seals for the first time, "And it is extremely difficult to apply seals to actual combat, even to deal with enemies like Uchiha Obito who come and go without a trace. ”

"To make a difference, I need more time to dig deeper."

"Try to fix some of the flaws in the sealing."

That's a lot of work.

It is not known that thousands of years have passed since the development of the sealing technique, and it is impossible that he is the only one who has discovered these flaws.

And in the long river of time, there must be many people who want to solve these defects.

But so far, not many people have been able to make great achievements in this area, and the degree of difficulty is unimaginable.

"I recommend...... You can try to find the Uzumaki books. ”

Artoria suggested, "Hasn't Konoha been trying to get in touch with us all year long? ”

"Although the country of the vortex has been destroyed, the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan has a deep connection with Konoha."

"Their clan's research on sealing techniques should be extremely deep, and if you can get the classics they left behind, you may be able to skip a lot of detours."

It's as if she's learning the space-time technique, based on the Thousand Hands Gate, the Wave Wind Water Gate, and the Uchiha Obito...... The study of the space-time techniques used by these people will be much faster.

It's hard to start something from scratch.

But if you start with 'one', it can be much simpler.

Even if there are some signposts called 'experience' on this road, pointing the right direction, it will be easier to study deeply.

"This aspect can really be considered."

Itachi nodded, not objecting to contact with Konoha .

But......

Nor can you fully expect to be promoted in sealing.

Whether this kind of thing can be done is an unknown question.

He should be more prepared to deal with the Uchiha Obito who has a great possibility of facing him in the future.

"Itachi, this assessment ......"

But at this moment, with the sound of footsteps in the aisle, Uchiha Fugaku came to the courtyard.

And he had just seen Itachi and was about to say something.

But as he confronted Itachi, the words that came to his lips were directly paused.

"What's the matter, father."

Itachi looked at him with some confusion, "Is there something wrong with the assessment?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Uchiha Fugaku also had a strange face, as if he was puzzled by what he had just paused, "The assessment is going well, and there are a total of sixty-one clansmen who have signed up to participate in the assessment this time. ”

"Of these, the number between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five is fifty-five, and six are over the age of thirty-five."

"All the candidates' exam papers have been copied according to your intentions."

As he spoke, he handed the two folders, which looked extremely thick, to Itachi and Artoria, respectively.

At the same time, there was an extreme strangeness in Fuyue's heart.

Because just now, the moment he saw the ferret, he actually gave birth to a little ...... in his heart Respect.

Yes, as a father, when he faced his eldest son, he actually gave birth to respect in his heart!

You know, in the past, even if Itachi was extremely prominent, even if he was the head of a family.

But in private, when facing Itachi, Fuyue has always been in the attitude between father and child, and he will feel guilty and guilty for Itachi taking on such a big responsibility early.

But Fugaku has never had the so-called respect or deference.

But at this moment, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly realized that his child was no longer just his own child.

He has become the hope of every Uchiha, and at the same time, he has unconsciously become his own hope.

The kind of momentum he showed was that even he couldn't resist as a father.

"Trouble, father."

Itachi reached out and took the folder from his father's hand, took a random test paper from it, and read it.

"Regarding the disputes within Konoha, we, as allies, should not intervene, but we should also play a role in easing them."

"Now, in the same country of fire, Uchiha, Konoha, and the Daimyo's mansion...... Everyone is a relationship of prosperity and loss, and if Konoha loses in internal friction, it will have a certain impact on the country of fire as a whole. ”

"As the most powerful force in the Fire Nation right now, we should shoulder the responsibility of supervising all parties......

……

This analysis of the Xiao Organization's meddling in the affairs of the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth is well written, and the views are very similar to mine. ’

This is definitely not an ordinary mercenary organization, and the people in power behind it have great ambitions. ’

Even, as speculated in this article, the Akatsuki organization had been interfering and dividing Konoha before, in order to provoke a war and prompt the Thunder Country to release its authority to the Akatsuki organization. ’

In the study, Itachi was alone annotating and grading one pink test paper after another.

He did not mark with Artoria and his father, but separated from each other to avoid disagreements that would affect each other's judgment when marking the papers.

Nowadays, the Uchiha distributes the information he has collected as an exam question, and everyone who sees this information will be based on their knowledge, cognition, and pattern...... to analyze this information.

Among them, there are people who are analyzing with the same thinking as themselves.

There are also people who are different from themselves, and in terms of the content of the analysis, they are all surprised.

For example, when it comes to the question of 'Snow Country has created a special ninja device that can increase the power of ninjas to a certain extent when using techniques', some clansmen have suggested that they could introduce related technology or enter into a cooperation treaty with Snow Country.

But more people, their views and ideas are extremely shallow.

It's like facing 'Sand Hidden Village is restricted by the Land of Wind and has no way to participate in the war', 'Fog Hidden Village is reforming'...... Many people have a disdainful attitude towards this information.

Especially in Shayin Village, few people can seriously face this information.

Seem......

As ninjas, they are restricted by a group of ordinary people, and their timid appearance makes them feel ashamed.

Although this is the case, they can't analyze the deeper content, and it is a bit one-sided to generalize only with evaluations such as 'Shayin Village is weak'.

And people like this kind of people with shallow concepts and arrogant attitudes will undoubtedly be eliminated.
