It's like the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha before.

In times of stability, they do not like each other, but if there is a foreign enemy, they will temporarily put aside the gap between each other and fight the enemy together.

After the end of World War III, Konoha suffered heavy losses in internal forces.

But at such a time, after only a few months of recuperation, some people tried to provoke conflicts between them.

Although it sounds like this behavior of internal friction is very ...... It's confusing, it's confusing.

But there will always be people who can't bear the temperament and are eager to jump out and provoke some unnecessary contradictions when it is clear that they can develop steadily and make progress together.

Now, trouble has arisen.

Uchiha Obito's identity was confirmed, and he took away the writing wheel eye that belonged to him, so ...... This farce will soon be over.

"I'm back!"

And just as Itachi and Uchiha Ryuki were discussing Kakashi's affairs, Sasuke's babbling voice and footsteps reached the ears of the two, disrupting the quiet atmosphere in the courtyard.

Then, like a little monkey, he jumped happily out of the door and came to the courtyard.

And behind, followed by Artoria, who had just picked him up from school.

But soon, when Sasuke saw the Uchiha Ryu in the courtyard and the ninja who reported the news, he quieted down very interestingly, and his lively movements became cautious, tiptoeing towards the house.

"I didn't expect to talk all afternoon."

"It's not too early, Itachi, I'll take my leave."

"Thank you very much today."

Seeing that the time was not early, Uchiha Ryuki nodded politely to Artoria and said hello.

Then he got up and took his leave.

Itachi didn't keep him for dinner.

He got up to see Uchiha Ryu and the people who had reported the news out of the mansion, and then turned to look at Artoria, who was carrying a small bag in the courtyard, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let me guess what you bought......"

Itachi guessed gently, "There's a three-color ball in it, and ...... Strawberry cake. ”

As he spoke, he approached with brisk steps.

From the box of the bag, he could see what was inside.

"I went out too early just now, and when I arrived at school, I found that there was still more than half an hour before the end of school."

Artoria explained, "So I went around town. ”

"When I was on the road, I found that there was a dessert shop that was quite popular, and there were a lot of people in line."

"Thinking about it, being idle is also idle, so I lined up to buy a few copies."

As she spoke, she sat down at the stone table where they had been talking, and placed everything she had bought on the table.

"What? What is there about him that he can't decide and comes to you for help? ”

Artoria asked softly, took out the three-color balls from the bag, opened the package, and carefully inserted the fork and handed it to Itachi.

"It's still about Konoha."

Itachi naturally took the box containing the balls from her hand, "There are some people in the clan who have never been able to change their cognition and attitude, and regard Konoha as their biggest enemy. ”

His tone was full of helplessness.

In fact, since the death of the third generation of Hokage, Konoha has changed a group of high-level officials, and now he is no longer an enemy of the Uchiha.

Whether it is their attitude or their strength, they are no longer Uchiha's worst enemies.

"Conceptual and ideological things are not so easy to change."

Artoria also took a strawberry cake, "Not everyone can think like you, break their own perceptions, and accept new ideas. ”

Itachi's receptivity to new things and ideas is definitely the strongest she has seen in her decades of life.

Perhaps it is because he is not very old, and in this short period of life, he has seen and heard so many things that his thinking is often innovative.

But this is not to say that Itachi's mind is easily shaken and not firm enough.

Rather, he can continue to find the right path in exploration and attempt.

Itachi doesn't go straight to the black regardless of whether it's right or wrong.

Rather, they will observe, think, and learn from experience in the process.

Stubbornness is not a flaw, but flexibility is extremely rare.

Itachi was a little happy to hear Artoria praise herself so bluntly, and looked at her as she forked a small piece of cake into her mouth.

Somehow, he stood up and bent down in front of her, "I want to try this strawberry cake too." ”

Artoria hadn't eaten a piece of cake in her mouth, and she looked at him with a wink as she bit her fork.

It took a moment for her to react, pointing to the bag on the table with her fork, "I bought a few servings, and there are three more cakes in them." ”

Itachi turned her head to look at the bag on the table, then refocused her gaze on the cake box she was holding, staring at the remaining half of it, "One is too much, I can't eat it, you can just cut a small piece for me to taste." ”

You...... Will you not be able to eat?

Artoria's eyes were blank.

In response to Itachi's confusing speech, she reluctantly put down the box in her hand, and wanted to take out a disposable plastic fork from the bag and cut a portion for him.

But before Artoria could unpack the pouch of the plastic fork, Itachi stopped her, "What are you doing?" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted a piece of cake to try the taste?"

Artoria asked, confused, "I'll get you a new fork to cut." ”

"No, I'll just eat a small piece, it's a waste for you to go so hard to dismantle a new fork."

Itachi shook his head, "You can just cut a small piece of it for me with your fork." ”

He stared at Artoria very seriously, as if he was talking about something that could affect the transformation of the ninja world.

Wave...... Fee?

“…… Cough. ”

Artoria was stunned for a moment before coughing lightly, but she didn't refuse, picked up her cake again, and used the fork she had just used to cut a small piece of the remaining half of the cake, and handed it to the Itachi, who was bent over and waiting.

Even, she unconsciously let out an 'ah'.

After making this sound, Artoria laughed to herself, "I have the feeling that I was feeding Sasuke a few years ago when I was a baby. ”

Itachi didn't care what her laughter meant, and ate the cake on the fork with satisfaction, a smile on her face.

I don't know why, he always feels that the taste of this cake is a little different from the past.

Obviously, the sweetness and texture are the same.

But he just thought it tasted better.

"You've been ...... lately The smile seems to have increased. ”

Artoria looked strangely at the smile on Itachi's face, "It's like a different person." ”

"Aren't you?"

Itachi also picked up a ball with his fork and handed it to Artoria, "I used to leave you delicious food, but you have never shared it with me. ”

"Really? It must be that you didn't ask me. ”

Artoria didn't realize this at all, and naturally ate the balls fed by Itachi.

"Ahh

At this time, Zuosuke's angry shouts rang out.

"You two steal food!"

He didn't even have shoes on, and hurried out of the house.

Just now he thought that his brother was talking about something important, so he didn't dare to come out, but he didn't expect the two of them to carry him behind his back here and steal delicious food!

"Sister, I want to eat cake too."

Without hesitation, Sasuke pounced on Artoria, who was usually more doting on him, hugging his thighs and staring at the cake box in her hand.

"There's it on the table, you take it yourself."

Then, Zuosuke watched his feet leave the ground, and the whole person was lifted up by Itachi by the collar and placed directly on the table, "It's so big, do you still want your sister to feed you?" ”
