Uchiha Rou grabbed Sasuke Uchiha's wrist, and they were instantly locked in a stalemate.
Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted; he found himself unable to move his arm forward or backward. He thought to himself, "How can this guy be so strong!"
Looking at Sasuke Uchiha's expression, Uchiha Rou. "This guy is quite interesting."
She casually tossed Sasuke Uchiha away, and before doing so, she removed the Kunai from Sasuke Uchiha.
"It's best for children not to play with such dangerous things," Uchiha Rou.
Sasuke Uchiha felt a sense of existential crisis; how could his Kunai have been so easily disarmed! While still in mid-air, he adjusted his stance, preparing to fight again.
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi stepped forward. "Enough, Sasuke!" Sasuke Uchiha's lips twitched. "I can still fight!"
Uchiha Itachi was somewhat exasperated. Uchiha Rou was beating him like an adult bullying a child! How could he not see that? Oh, right, he overlooked the fact that it affected his own weakness.
"Sasuke, you lost. Your stamina has been constantly depleted, while Rou Rou's stamina has hardly been depleted. Didn't you feel it when you were fighting her?" Uchiha Itachi shook his head.
"I..." Sasuke Uchiha was about to explain when he noticed that Uchiha Rou was stretching and looking like she was about to fall asleep, which made him furious!
"Brother Itachi, let's stop. I don't want to fight anymore. It's pointless," Uchiha Rou exhaled.
Uchiha Itachi smiled gently, "Alright, Rou Rou, you've worked hard. You go upstairs first, I'll teach my good-for-nothing younger brother a lesson!"
Uchiha Rou smiled and said, "Okay~ then you'd better hurry! You have class today!"
"Hmm." Uchiha Itachi responded, and Uchiha Rou, having received the reply, turned and walked towards the school building.
After seeing Uchiha Itachi leave, Uchiha Rou's expression changed. He looked at his younger brother, "Sasuke, you were too reckless!"
"Do you know that although Uchiha Rou one year older than you, her strength is at least Chunin level! At her highest, she can even seriously injure a Jonin!" Uchiha Itachi admonished.
Sasuke Uchiha opened his mouth, but seeing Uchiha Itachi's stern expression, he closed it again and turned his head away!
My brother yelled at me! I'm ignoring him!
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi's lips twitched. Why are all kids these days so stubborn? He wasn't this troublesome when he was a child!
"Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi changed tactics. He squatted down and tapped Sasuke Uchiha's forehead with his middle and index fingers together.
Sasuke Uchiha was stunned. This action seemed so familiar. Wasn't this what his older brother had always done to him since they were little? It usually meant something important was happening.
He turned to look at Uchiha Itachi, who was crouching down. Uchiha Itachi said seriously, "Sasuke, I support you challenging strong opponents, but the premise is that you must understand the strength of those strong opponents. If you find that the difference in strength is too great, you should think about retreating."
"Instead of blindly rushing in, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later. Rather than letting you make foolish mistakes on the battlefield, I've decided that from today onwards, Sasuke, your training volume will triple." Uchiha Itachi stood up and glanced at Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha shuddered. Three times the normal training time? Are you crazy?! Regular training is six hours a day, three times that's eighteen hours!
There are 24 hours in a day, does that mean the remaining 6 hours are for sleeping? And the rest of the time is for training?
His face fell, and he tugged at Uchiha Itachi's sleeve, pleading pitifully, "Brother, I was wrong! Please don't increase the training intensity."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head. "You can't even do the most basic observation? In that case, stop observing. Focus on improving your strength and don't avoid others' attacks!"
Sasuke Uchiha hesitated, then remembered the blond figure. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I promise I'll observe carefully from now on and won't cause you any worry!"
"Please don't increase the training intensity, brother!" He knew that if he didn't say anything, it would be all over. He had just become friends with that guy, and he didn't want to lose the time he could spend with him!
Uchiha Itachi was taken aback. This was the first time Sasuke had ever told him his request! What was going on? Since it was Sasuke brought it up, he might as well let him have his way this time.
"Okay, but you have to tell me why." Uchiha Itachi stared intently at Sasuke Uchiha.
After hesitating for a long time, Sasuke Uchiha finally said, "Um, I, I made a friend, his name is Naruto." Then, Sasuke Uchiha began to talk about how they met and what they had in common.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Itachi's lips curled into Naruto? He hadn't expected his younger brother to have such a bond! And judging from the looks of it, the bond was quite significant!
Seeing Sasuke Uchiha wildly, his eyes growing brighter with each word, Uchiha Itachi finally sighed. "Since that's how it is," he thought, "Then we won't increase the training intensity."
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't increase your training volume. But you need to pay more attention to observation in the future. If you know you can't win, you need to find a way to leave, understand?" Uchiha Itachi instructed.
Sasuke Uchiha nodded quickly, "Understood, understood! Big brother, I'll never be a show-off again!" Of course, saying it is one thing, doing it is another!
Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke Uchiha with suspicion, Sasuke Uchiha quickly nodded, indicating that he would absolutely not act recklessly!
Uchiha Itachi was relieved and slowly said, "Come on, it's your sister Rou Rou's class time, you should listen in too."
After saying that, Uchiha Itachi turned and walked towards the teaching building. Sasuke Uchiha nodded and followed behind him. The two walked towards the classroom.
Uchiha Rou was in a fairly good mood, after all, she had just taught that brat a lesson. She swung her long, white legs and hummed a strange tune.
The door opened the next moment, and Uchiha Rou looked over.
The appearance of Uchiha Itachi's handsome face immediately improved Uchiha Rou's mood. However, the sight of a little kid following behind him made Uchiha Rou stop her from getting up and sit back down.
Uchiha Itachi patted Sasuke Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha reluctantly walked up to Uchiha Rou and said, "I'm sorry! Rou Rou, I was wrong!"
Seeing Uchiha Rou smiled and said it was alright, then pointed to a sofa, "If you want to listen, sit over there."
Sasuke Uchiha nodded and prepared to walk towards the sofa. Uchiha Itachi frowned, "Sasuke! Did you say thank you?"
Sasuke Uchiha was taken aback, then bowed Uchiha Rou, "Thank you, Rou Rou- nee!"
Uchiha Rou covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She glanced at Uchiha Itachi, knowing that itachi-nii was trying to vent his anger on her behalf and stop her from being upset.
Uchiha Itachi's alluring eyes looked at Uchiha Rou, Uchiha Rou nodded to him. Then she looked at Sasuke Uchiha, "It's alright, Sasuke- nii, go and sit down!"
"This morning is a theory class. The teacher hasn't arrived yet; it should be Uchiha Shisui- nii," Uchiha Rou slowly.
Sasuke Uchiha nodded, then sat down on the sofa. It felt so comfortable! He started to wonder, were all the students at the Konoha Ninja Academy treated this well?
This made him look forward to next year's entrance ceremony! He hoped he could receive the same treatment then.
However, he was overthinking it. This was a classroom that Shimura Danzō personally arranged for Uchiha Rou. Although he emphasized fairness, in reality, some people still enjoyed preferential treatment.
A long time
After Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Rou had another delicious breakfast, Uchiha Shisui walked in.
"Yo, everyone's here! Good morning, everyone!" Uchiha Shisui was like a cheerful young man.
"Good morning, Uchiha Shisui -nii!" Uchiha Rou greeted him, holding up a chicken leg.
Holding a small cake, Uchiha Itachi imitated Uchiha Rou's gesture and greeted Uchiha Shisui, but he didn't speak, only nodded.
Uchiha Shisui smiled and nodded, then his eyes suddenly turned to the sofa in the distance, where he spotted a familiar figure.
"Sasuke! What brings you here?" Uchiha Shisui, somewhat puzzled.
Sasuke Uchiha coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Uchiha Shisui.
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi frowned and looked at Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha shuddered when he saw his older brother's expression.
He obediently stood up. "Brother Uchiha Shisui, I came with my brother. I'll be starting school next year, so I came to see what the environment of the Konoha Academy is like."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "Alright, in that case, please sit down. Let's prepare for class."
Sasuke Uchiha sat down, then rested his chin on his arm and looked at the stage.
Uchiha Rou and Uchiha Itachi also sped up their eating, finally packing up their lunchboxes at 8 a. m. to prepare for class.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui began to teach. His basic knowledge was also very solid, and his lecture flowed smoothly.
Uchiha Rou listened attentively. Sasuke Uchiha initially didn't pay attention, after all, the Uchiha Clan had a large collection of books, and he had read quite a few himself. However, the more he listened, the more something seemed off!
Improvements to Shuriken throwing techniques, multiple uses of the Body Flicker Technique, and expansions of the Three Body Technique—these are all things that Uchiha Shisui and his understanding of ninjutsu possessed. He would never teach them to anyone other than a very close person!
Later, Sasuke Uchiha even took out a notebook and started taking notes. Uchiha Itachi, however, was dismissive of this knowledge, as his path differed from Uchiha Shisui's, and therefore these parts were not worth learning from.
However, he cared deeply about his younger brother. He turned around and saw Sasuke Uchiha writing something down, his eyes full of seriousness.
Uchiha Itachi smiled, a smile of relief. His child had grown up and knew how to study!
This knowledge might not have been of much help to Uchiha Itachi, but for Sasuke Uchiha, it was like a revelation, bringing indescribable benefits to his future!
Uchiha Shisui had obviously seen this as well, and seeing Sasuke's serious expression, he felt very gratified. He smiled and then slowed down his lecture.
This is also taking care of Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, after all, Itachi's younger brother is also his own younger brother, and he needs to be pampered.
Uchiha Rou also felt the speed slow down. She turned around and looked at Sasuke Uchiha, only to find him taking notes with a serious expression.
Raising an eyebrow, Uchiha Rou, " Fine, slow is fine, I can remember it all anyway!" She continued listening to Uchiha Shisui's lesson.
