Kabuto was very unhappy, very unhappy!
Because that guy is here again today!
"Dad asked me to bring this. It contains some cloth, rice, noodles, meat and vegetables."
Looking at Itachi who looked like a little adult in front of him and the scrolls he handed over, Nonou was also a little surprised. After all, he had almost no interaction with Uchiha.
Seemingly sensing Nonou's doubts, Itachi leaned into his ear and explained in a low voice, "Dad said that Konoha's ninjas have basically received gifts from the Kōzuki Clan. Kōzuki Clan has contributed a lot to winning the war and guarding Konoha's peace by providing a large amount of ration supplies. So..."
Hearing this, Nonou finally understood that these were sent to the orphanage by Uchiha out of consideration for the Kōzuki Clan's kindness.
But there were some surprises that followed.
I have had brief dealings with the Uchiha Clan, and they were both extremely aloof and uncommunicative. This polite young boy was already considered an outlier to Uchiha.
Such Uchiha is actually...
Could it be said that Uchiha still has tsundere attributes?
Nonou, who felt more and more that this might really be the case, couldn't help but smile, and at the same time gratefully accepted the other party's intention. After all, for now, the orphanage's funds were still a little tight.
Funding has always been the biggest problem for the orphanage, which can only earn some modest income by occasionally helping the overcrowded Konoha Hospital.
Not to mention that now that Nine-Tails' Rampage has just passed, the village's finances are tight and there is no extra money to fund itself. As long as the donation is not for other purposes, everyone will be welcome!
After thanking him, Nonou kindly asked Itachi to stay for lunch. After all, the other party had given such a big gift, so it was really unreasonable to ask the other party to stay for dinner without being polite. As for Fugaku Uchiha's gratitude, I asked Itachi to convey it on his behalf.
After thinking for a while, for some unknown reason, Itachi agreed to stay at noon.
Throughout the morning, Itachi worked and played with the children here who were much more sensible than the children he usually saw, while at the same time quietly observing the atmosphere here.
I have to say that the atmosphere here is really good, many times better than in Konoha Village. Although they are not related by blood, they are like a family and support each other without any barriers.
Looking at such an orphanage, Itachi also sighed in his heart, it would be great if the entire Konoha could be like this orphanage. There would be no barriers between the various families, and there would be no overt or covert fights. They would all be dedicated to Konoha.
Simple and plain, but not bad in taste. And the atmosphere is really good, full of laughter. This was Itachi's comment on today's lunch at the orphanage.
Blood is not the only bond, this is an important life lesson that the orphanage taught Itachi.
Chloe doesn't have much feeling for things like cooking, because he hasn't needed to eat for a thousand years, and now he needs to eat just because his body needs it.
It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not.
"Dean, have another bowl!"
Chloe, who licked the rice grains from the corner of his mouth clean, raised the small bowl in his hand high towards Nonou in front of him.
The human body is very fragile and cannot survive without eating. This is helpless, I don't think the food made by Nonou is delicious!
Obtaining a human body also acquires some of the inevitable desires or desires that the human body brings to oneself.
For example, if you are thirsty, you will want to drink water, if you are hungry, you will want to eat, if you feel cold, you will want to be warm, if you feel hot, you will want to be cool...
Chloe, who was munching on his lunch, had passively received these physical desires. The changes brought about by his body would sooner or later lead to changes in other things that had been stubborn for a long time.
After the meal, Itachi hesitated for a long time before he came to Chloe, who was burping and looking satisfied. He wanted to say something to him, but he hesitated and couldn't.
In the end, it was Chloe who spoke first, "Itachi, do you want to go to our training ground with Kabuto and me?"
"Is that okay?"
"Yeah, sure." Chloe nodded. After all, although he was good at ninja training, if he didn't have an opponent, his progress would be too slow.
Although Kabuto didn't like this "voluptuous bitch" who was clearly here to seduce his brother, but since his brother said so, he couldn't raise any objections.
The so-called training ground is actually a small forest clearing behind the orphanage.
There are two relatively strong-looking wooden piles in the open space. Judging from the wood, they should have been erected not long ago.
Dang Dang Dang!
Several darts cut from wood all penetrated into the center of one of the wooden stakes and formed a circle! Then there was another wooden kunai, which plunged into the center with a whoosh!
The instigator also pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, as if to say: Did you see it? Xiao Hei? It's enough to practice with me. Uchiha is actually not necessary.
Looking at the opponent's move, Itachi was slightly surprised. Unlike himself, who was born in the Uchiha Clan and whose father was also the clan leader, the opponent had never received any guidance!
Homemade wooden darts are of different qualities. Throwing them all at the same time can make them all hit the target. This is quite difficult, but the opponent can easily do it!
This is genius!
Dang Dang Dang!
Just when Itachi was a little surprised by the opponent's exposed hand, the sound of "dang-dang-dang" sounded again. Looking at the wooden darts on the other wooden stake that were still far behind Kabuto's skills, but all of them hit, Itachi felt a little emotional again.
According to what I learned from my father, the boy named Kougetsu Chloe arrived at Konoha less than a month ago, but he already has such strength and is a genius-like boy.
As the saying goes, geniuses are always attracted to each other, so Itachi also felt a sense of identification with the two of them from the bottom of his heart, which he may not even notice.
"It's my turn next."
Itachi, who originally wanted to use real darts and real kunai, finally chose the other's wooden darts.
After taking the opponent's wooden dart off the wooden stake, Itachi first carefully looked at the details of the dart and felt the weight of the dart before taking action without even trying!
when!
The wooden dart hit the bull's-eye, scoring three points!
Kabuto on the side opened his eyes instantly, this kid who was much younger than him was actually so powerful!
In order to be cool in front of my "brother" for the title of "brother", I secretly practiced a lot behind Chloe's back to achieve this level!
It's over!
I might lose my dignity as a brother!
Kabuto, who felt that it might not be possible to continue like this, also made up his mind in his mind. He must train to the death in the future, and he must not be surpassed by such a brat!
In short, from that day on, these three little guys often got together to train. Nonou silently watched all this and did not stop it. Even Kabuto and Chloe, who were still worried about choosing the dangerous path of becoming a ninja, did not say anything.
Even Nonou would come out to give pointers to these three little guys from time to time. Of course, it's limited to some small sparring skills. Apart from Medical Ninjutsu, I don't know many ninjutsu, let alone Uchiha Clan... I don't lack either.
For Itachi, these things taught by Nonou are also very practical, especially Chakra's little tips that can save unnecessary waste at certain times, which are really very practical.
Therefore, Itachi also developed a certain affection for Nonou, the gentle director of the orphanage, at this stage.
Nearly half a month has passed since Hokage, the fifth generation of Konoha, and Princess Tsunade, one of the famous Sannin Shinobi World, took office.
I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk about Uchiha Clan District with the new Hokage, whom I have only met but not talked to much. Fugaku, who was trying to find out what the other party said, finally waited for the summons from Hokage!
Fugaku, who was wearing Konoha Jounin uniform and had the armband of Konoha Military Police Force tied on his arm, felt nervous and excited the moment he walked out of Uchiha Clan District.
If you take the initiative to call yourself over, does that mean that the higher-ups have already come up with the results? Or is it that the new official has to beat himself up with the first three things he takes office?
As soon as he walked into Hokage's office, Fugaku saw Hiashi Hyuga, the leader of the Hyuga Clan, the same big ninja clan Konoha, standing at Tsunade In front of, in addition to the Hyuga patriarch, the patriarchs of the Akimichi Clan, Nara Clan, Yamanaka Clan, and You*** Tomb are also here!
Looking at these people, Fugaku felt like a mirror in his heart. It seemed that the new official had taken office with three things in mind. He wanted to gather people together and beat them all at once!
After nodding slightly to Fugaku, who was the last one to come in and hold the door, Tsunade said seriously, "Now is a special period, so I won't be polite to you. It has been nearly a year since Third Shinobi World War came to an end. Hidden Cloud Village has not stopped infringing and harassing our Land of Fire border in this year. What do you think?"
As the new head of the Nara Clan family who has long occupied the Konoha Hokage position of wisdom... ahem, think tank, Shikaku Nara also spoke out at the right time, saying that the other party has also paid a very painful price in Third Shinobi World War, and now they don't dare to openly start a war with us, so there is no need to worry too much.
Since the other party likes to have little fights, then we can just play with each other. Starting a war will not do any good for the two hidden villages, and the other side will not stupidly start a war with us so that other hidden villages can find opportunities. He just hates us.
"... Not to mention that Konoha at this moment has not completely emerged from the shadow of Nine-Tails' Rampage."
After Shikaku finished speaking, the rest of the people present nodded in agreement. After all, what he said was right and pertinent.
Glancing at the heads of the Konoha ninja clan present, Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, "I will give you time to go back and organize the ninjas of each family who can go to the battlefield to be ready at all times. In addition, prepare an envoy for me to go to Hidden Cloud Village to ask them when they arrive. Fight or not! Listen, Konoha is not weak enough to be bullied to the point of being submissive at home! If they dare to fight, then we will make this war Konoha, or even Shinobi World's last war!"
In an instant, everyone present was stunned. Is this new Hokage... crazy?
