Itachi and I Will Train Together From Now On

After expressing his gratitude, Uchiha Itachi reached for the snacks on the coffee table, but his short arms restricted his movement. He couldn't help but pout and whimper, "I can't reach them!"

This scene made Uchiha Kō smile. He personally tore open a jelly, picked out one of each flavor, and placed it next to Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi's eyes shone brightly.

Then peel off the jelly skin on the side, and he will eat it because his brother Uchiha Shisui brought him a few when he came to visit before. They were all orange flavored, but they were very delicious!

But the advisor gave him different flavors, including orange. He was so happy!

Looking at the photos of Uchiha Kō Uchiha Itachi as a child, Owl couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was the same filial son from the original story? The guy with the strongest ninja spirit?

They look just like ordinary people, and are even kind of cute!

Uchiha Itachi sucked the jelly into his mouth and chewed, his cheeks twitching adorably, melting Tsunade's heart. She wished Uchiha Itachi were her son!

Little did she know that her words at that moment would come true in the future.

Uchiha Kō laughed and flicked Uchiha Itachi's forehead. Uchiha Itachi cried out, covered his forehead, his eyes filled with tears, and pouted.

Seeing this, Tsunade frowned and slapped Uchiha Kō's hand. "Why are you being so annoying! What did they do to you!"

Uchiha Kō was momentarily speechless, then saw Uchiha Fugaku smirking beside him—or rather, suppressing a laugh. He snorted, "Fugaku, come here, let's go to the study and talk."

Uchiha Fugaku's face suddenly fell. He hadn't expected retribution to come so quickly. Uchiha Kō didn't dote on his disciple at all. He didn't care that Uchiha Itachi had been flicked on the forehead by Uchiha Kō; in fact, he was somewhat pleased.

Does anyone have the honor of having Uchiha Kō flick their forehead? No, unless you're extremely close to someone, don't even think about it—it's a special privilege! And the more favored the little guy is in front of Uchiha Kō and Tsunade, the brighter his future will be.

This was what Uchiha Hirotomo told him, which is why Uchiha Fugaku brought his eldest son to Uchiha Kō's house to cultivate goodwill as soon as the war ended.

After Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kō entered the study, Uchiha Itachi suddenly relaxed, wiped away his tears, and prepared to continue eating his jelly. So delicious!

Tsunade was amused by his silly antics and personally helped Uchiha Itachi open the jelly. Uchiha Itachi then pressed his face against Tsunade's arm as a sign of intimacy, which made Tsunade incredibly happy.

The next moment, as Tsunade handed the jelly to Uchiha Itachi said, "Grandma, you should have some too!" With that, Uchiha Itachi held up the orange-flavored jelly and handed it to Tsunade.

Tsunade felt a warm glow in her heart. "Okay~ Grandma will eat too~ But Grandma will only eat one, the rest will be for our little Itachi!" After Tsunade finished the orange-flavored jelly, Uchiha Itachi, who ate it while smiling.

Grandma's house is much better than my own! Unlike my dad, who always has a stern face and won't let me eat this or that!

In the study

Uchiha Kō sat in his office chair, crossed his legs, and looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a cold smile. "Laugh, why aren't you laughing? Are you just naturally averse to smiling? Weren't you laughing happily just now?"

Uchiha Kō's four deadly questions made Uchiha Fugaku his head even further. It wasn't that he realized his mistake, but rather that he couldn't bring himself to smile. Help! Why was he so happy to see his master being beaten by his master's wife?!

"Replying to Master, this disciple... this disciple is naturally not fond of smiling." Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and looked at Uchiha Kō seriously.

Uchiha Kō stood up, wanting to give him a good beating so he could experience the harshness of society, but in the end he withdrew his hand. There were children outside; he didn't want to scare them.

If the child cries, I'll be the one who suffers. But I did have something important to say to Fugaku, "Fugaku, how old is Itachi this year?"

Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment and said, "Three years old!"

Uchiha Kō nodded. "Hmm, three years old. So how do you usually educate him?" After saying this, Uchiha Kō returned to his seat, picked up his teacup, and began to drink tea.

Uchiha Fugaku was taken aback for a moment, then said, "A while ago, I took him to the battlefield for a visit. Didn't our master also have us witness death row inmates? I even made it easier for him, letting him watch Konoha Ninja kill people on the battlefield."

Uchiha Kō coughed up the tea he had just drunk due to his emotional outburst, and looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a strange expression. "I asked you how old he is?" Here, "he" refers to Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Fugaku said, "Three years old! What's wrong?"

Uchiha Kō laughed, "Tsukuyomi!" Uchiha Kō immediately activated the Genjutsu Tsukuyomi. This Genjutsu was not Sharingan skill, but Tsukuyomi skill that Uchiha Kō created based on the original anime. It only took a moment to pull Uchiha Fugaku into the Genjutsu space.

"No, Master, where did you bring me here? Is this still Konoha?" Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat surprised. He was completely unaware of Uchiha Kō's anger and was still looking at the red moon and this Genjutsu space.

"This is my Genjutsu, you don't need to guess," Uchiha Kō laughed.

"Genjutsu, Master, is there something you can't say in the study? Why did you pull me into Genjutsu? Is there something important you want me to do?" Uchiha Fugaku asked, puzzled.

"Yes, yes, my dear disciple, there are indeed some things I need you to do. Come here." Uchiha Kō looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a smile.

Uchiha Fugaku was caught off guard and walked towards Uchiha Kō. Seeing that the time was right, Uchiha Kō launched a powerful attack!

With a loud thud Uchiha Fugaku was sent flying! He then crashed heavily to the ground.

"Ouch, murder! Murder!" Uchiha Fugaku finally realized that Uchiha Kō wanted to beat him up, but he had tricked him into coming in to kill him so that Tsunade and his son inside the house would find out!

"Scream all you want, this is my Genjutsu space. You can scream your lungs out, but no one will come to save you. Hmm, if you want to break free of the illusion, your eye power must be higher than mine," Uchiha Kō said calmly.

"Oh, right, the Mangekyo can't do that. You don't need to use your little tricks anymore, they're useless!" Uchiha Kō seemed to have guessed what Uchiha Fugaku was going to do, leaving Uchiha Fugaku utterly despondent.

"Master... Master, why did you hit your disciple? You have to let me die knowing why!" Uchiha Fugaku said obsequiously to Uchiha Kō.

"What do you think? You wretched child, only three years old, making Uchiha Itachi witness someone committing murder at the age of three? How did you come up with such a stupid method with that pig brain?" Uchiha Kō said coldly.

"Didn't you say that this step was inevitable sooner or later? Is it any better for the ninjas to meet sooner?" Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and retorted.

"Oh, you've got guts now, daring to talk back." After saying that Uchiha Kō slapped him again.

"Master did say that, but did Master tell you to use this method on a three-year-old? Are you a pig? What were you doing at three years old? Where was Itachi?" Uchiha Kō couldn't hold back any longer; he really wanted to punch Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku broke out in a cold sweat. "Didn't you say the sooner the better? Why are you in such a hurry?" But he had learned his lesson; he shouldn't waste words at this point, or he would get another beating.

"Fugaku, he's only three years old. Although Uchiha Itachi precocious and knows more than others, your teaching methods are not something he can handle at his age. Aren't you afraid of leading him astray?" Uchiha Kō with exasperation.

"It shouldn't be... right?" Even Uchiha Fugaku was a little uncertain now, after all, his teacher had never made a mistake in any decision or guess since his debut.

"Alright, from now on, Uchiha Itachi will train with me. You stay out of here. I'll send you back in three years!" Uchiha Kō waved his hand and then dispelled the Genjutsu.

"Yes, teacher!" Uchiha Fugaku replied.

"Wait a minute, have him go home normally every day, and come to my place to study from 8 am to 4 pm. However, after he goes home, you are not allowed to interfere with his training, understand?" Uchiha Kō thought for a moment, realizing he couldn't let Uchiha Itachi stay at his house.

That child is precocious. If we do this, he might have some suspicions, which could create a rift between us. We should let him go home and reunite with his parents. He can just stay here with me under the guise of training. There shouldn't be any problems.

"Alright! I'll do whatever you say, Master." Uchiha Fugaku nodded. He didn't want to be beaten anymore, so he would do whatever his master said! That was the right way.

Furthermore, Uchiha Itachi's training under Uchiha Kō will only benefit him in the future, not harm him. Why? Just look at Uchiha Kō's six disciples; aren't they all leading the way in their respective fields?

After discussing it, the two left the study with smiles on their faces. When Uchiha Fugaku saw that the bag of jelly, which had been full, was now empty, he frowned and was about to speak.

Then Uchiha Kō coughed behind him, bringing Fugaku back to his senses. He didn't dare to speak and went to the living room.

Uchiha Itachi jolted awake. When he saw Uchiha Fugaku return, he stopped eating the jelly and even glanced at Uchiha Fugaku out of the corner of his eye.

Uchiha Fugaku was also somewhat dazed at this moment. It seemed that his son had changed since he returned from the battlefield. Although on the surface he felt that his son had matured and grown up, in reality, there was a barrier between them in their father-son relationship.

Uchiha Fugaku hadn't paid much attention at the time, but now it seemed his son really was having some psychological problems; his eyes were somewhat dim. Could it be that his parenting philosophy was truly wrong?

Ignoring Uchiha Fugaku Uchiha Kō Uchiha Itachi and said, "Itachi, how about you study with your master from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. every day? From now on, you only need to listen to your master, not your father. Your master will back you up in everything!"

Uchiha Itachi's heart skipped a beat; this didn't seem so bad! But would his father agree? Just as he looked at his father...

Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
