So Well-Behaved It Was Heartbreaking

Uchiha Itachi awoke from his deep sleep. He opened his eyes and found himself in a bathtub. The water in the bathtub was black, viscous, and had a foul stench, making him involuntarily sniffle.

"What's that smell?" Uchiha Itachi frowned, then heard Uchiha Kō's voice, "You're awake, Itachi. Come out and take a shower. Oh, and remember to drain the water from the bathtub; it's full of impurities."

Uchiha Kō said calmly, then walked out. "The white bottle next to the shower is for shampoo, and the black bottle is for body wash. I put my pajamas on the shelf by the door. Change your clothes and come out to eat."

After listening to the instructions, Uchiha Itachi followed Uchiha Kō's steps and found that he felt much lighter and his legs were not tired at all. He felt that his muscles were full of power.

Sa sa sa sa

After turning on the shower, the hot water washed over his entire body. He then carefully washed every black spot on his body, expecting it to be very dirty. However, the hot water dissolved the black substance, and no matter how much Uchiha Itachi rubbed, nothing came off.

So he washed himself with shampoo and shower gel, took a disposable towel, dried himself off, put on his pajamas, and went outside.

When Uchiha Kō saw Uchiha Itachi smile, he thought, "This little guy would definitely be a cute boy in modern times, very popular with girls. "Uchiha Itachi's hair at this moment was somewhat similar to his hair when he grew up, only it wasn't as long as the whip, but it was already taking shape.

He was thin, yet stood ramrod straight, and the two tear troughs on his face added to his melancholy air.

"Oh? Come out! Come on, let's go eat. Your grandma ordered a lot of good food for you. Eat whatever you like, don't be shy, just make yourself at home." Uchiha Kō smiled and patted Uchiha Itachi's still slightly damp hair before walking towards the dining table.

Tsunade was already sitting at the table. She smiled as she watched Uchiha Kō and Uchiha Itachi arrive together. Her lips curled up. "So cute, little Itachi. He must be starving." This table of food was prepared according to the portions of the six little ones after their training.

Before Uchiha Itachi even sat down at the table, the smell of food made his stomach rumble loudly, which made him feel a little embarrassed, and he drooped his head.

Uchiha Kō noticed this, laughed heartily, and then ruffled Uchiha Itachi's neatly styled hair with his large hand. "I told you, make yourself at home, eat when you're hungry, why are you still shy!"

"Could it be that Fugaku taught you some rules or something?" Uchiha Kō narrowed his eyes and sneered. It seems he'll have to have more heart-to-heart talks with his disciple in the future!

Uchiha Clan Compound

Uchiha Fugaku was instructing the ninjas in the clan's territory on their training when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He muttered, "Strange, I feel like I'm being watched by something terrifying?"

Then he shook his head. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. My master is the Hokage, I'm Kage Level shikigami. Who am I afraid of? Who dares to kill me? Who can kill me?"

Let him be strong, I, Susanoo remain strong. I don't mind letting the one who has his eye on me try out my recently unlocked third power, Susanoo!

He thought confidently, little did he know that in the near future, he would be beaten up by the people who were targeting him!

Uchiha Kō's Villa

Uchiha Itachi watched Uchiha Kō cautiously, only sitting down after Owl did he. He then glanced at Uchiha Kō to pick up his chopsticks and take the first bite before he could eat.

This scene was witnessed by Uchiha Kō and Tsunade. Tsunade were filled with heartache. Looking at Uchiha Itachi, she felt that this child had suffered so much. He was so well-behaved even when eating at her master's and master's house, let alone the kind of abuse he suffered at home!

Uchiha Kō remained silent. He took a bite first, then put down his chopsticks. "Itachi, you and your master's wife eat first. Your master isn't hungry; he has some things to take care of." Uchiha Kō patted Uchiha Itachi's head.

Although Uchiha Itachi was puzzled, he nodded and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey, Master. Please be careful!" The little voice said this, which melted Master Uchiha Kō's heart and made him even more determined.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Eat whatever you like here, don't be so formal. And remember to give Itachi plenty of meat, look how thin he is," Uchiha Kō chuckled.

Tsunade nodded. "Of course, we should give Itachi the best!" With that, Tsunade used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of ham and put it in Uchiha Itachi's bowl. Then she added various fish fillets, fish meat, and fish cakes, and slowly Uchiha Itachi's bowl was piled up into a small mountain.

Uchiha Itachi swallowed hard. "Can I really finish this? My master's wife is so hospitable! If I don't finish it, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to her?" So Uchiha Itachi made up his mind that he would eat as much as his master's wife put on his plate, no matter what.

Then he started eating, but after the food entered his mouth, he found that he seemed to have become able to eat more, and the large piece of fish fillet went down into his stomach like a pebble thrown into a lake, without making a ripple!

It's all set! This time, I definitely won't disappoint my master's wife! I wonder if it's because the food is so delicious? Or perhaps it's the warm atmosphere at my master's wife's house that makes Uchiha Itachi eat rice faster and in larger quantities.

He quickly finished a bowl of food. Uchiha Kō had just finished dressing, laughed when he saw this. The medicine he had prepared for Uchiha Itachi not only relieved muscle soreness and cleansed his marrow, but also enhanced his physique and widened his veins. It was a good thing that his appetite had increased after using it.

And it won't make you fat, it will only increase your food intake. Being able to eat is a blessing! Uchiha Itachi got up and served himself a bowl of rice. Then Tsunade kept putting food on his plate, and he kept eating.

Tsunade was overjoyed. She hadn't expected the little guy to be so happy while eating. She wondered if her child was a boy or a girl. Little Itachi was a good child. If it was a boy, she would let them become brothers; if it was a girl, she would let them become husband and wife. That seemed like a good idea.

Tsunade touched her belly, her eyes filled with maternal love, and then continued to serve food to Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Kō changed into a set of Warring States Armor, which was specially made for him by Second Grandfather's Tsunade, Senju Tobirama. The golden armor, combined with his Susanoo, gave the enemy a tremendous sense of intimidation just by standing there.

With a Flying Thunder God Uchiha Kō disappeared from the doorway and reappeared in the training grounds of the Uchiha Clan Compound.

With a flash of golden light, Uchiha Kō appeared. He looked at the Uchiha ninjas training diligently on the training ground and couldn't help but nod. Not bad, the Uchiha Clan is quite self-disciplined.

"Uchiha Kō!"

"Sixth Elder!"

"Hokage, you!"

When the Uchiha clan members saw Uchiha Kō, they were first stunned, then became excited. This legendary figure had returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound! This was a rare sight indeed!

The news spread like wildfire, and soon the entire clan territory, young and old, elders and commoners alike, flocked to the training ground, eager to see if Uchiha Kō's face was as handsome and domineering as the one on the Hokage Rock!

Uchiha Kō greeted the Uchiha Clan members with a gentle expression, while simultaneously searching the crowd for his target – Uchiha Fugaku!

"Found it!" Uchiha Kō's eyes lit up as he looked at Uchiha Fugaku. Uchiha Fugaku was watching Uchiha Kō from afar, hands in his pockets. "Tsk tsk, even as the head of the Uchiha Clan, he's not as popular as Uchiha Kō. That's really something."

Uchiha Kō laughed. "How dare you make fun of me?" Having spent over eight years together, he was all too familiar with Uchiha Fugaku's micro-expressions. Perhaps outsiders and his five teammates couldn't discern Fugaku's inner thoughts.

As the God of War of Konoha, the one who kills and destroys the heart, Uchiha Kō saw through all his micro-expressions. Uchiha Kō first greeted the ninjas, and then said some flattering words to the civilians and elders.

When it was almost time, he suddenly said, "Everyone, go back first. I have something to discuss with Uchiha Kō Fugaku. I want to thank everyone for remembering me, an ordinary Uchiha clansman!" Uchiha Kō said with a smile.

That's a well-said statement. Uchiha Kō identifies himself as a member of the Uchiha clan, not as the Hokage, which makes the Uchiha clan members feel very close to him. Uchiha Kō n't forgotten his roots; he still remembers them!

Seeing that Uchiha Kō had spoken, everyone made way and went home. The ninjas who were training also left, stopping their training for the day. Didn't they see Uchiha Kō? The Lord Hokage has spoken!

They must have something important to discuss with Chief Fugaku, so wouldn't they be making a fool of themselves by staying? Therefore, they all left. Uchiha Fugaku, with a smug look on his face, forced a smile and said, "Master, you've arrived! Quick, come inside with me so we can have a proper discussion. By the way, I hope Itachi didn't cause you any trouble, Master?"

Uchiha Kō chuckled. "No, Itachi is very well-behaved, but he's so well-behaved that he doesn't seem like a child at all; he's more like an adult."

Uchiha Fugaku failed to catch the playful tone in Uchiha Kō, continuing with an air of pride, "As my son, Uchiha Fugaku, and the young head of the Uchiha Clan, being precocious isn't enough; you also need to learn the etiquette of a great clan. Teacher, I'll teach you that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Kō grabbed him and they rushed to the Naka Shrine, where no one was around. If a fight broke out, it wouldn't arouse suspicion among the clansmen.

"Huh? Teacher, I haven't finished yet! Why did you bring me here? Is there something important you need to tell me?" Uchiha Fugaku looked completely bewildered, but Uchiha Kō just smiled.

"It's nothing, I just had an itchy hand and wanted to spar with you to see if my dear disciple's strength has improved!" Uchiha Kō flicked his wrist, signaling Uchiha Fugaku to make his move.

Uchiha Fugaku: "... Maru!"
