Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 9 Father and Son Agreement
Chapter 9

"Compared to practicing hard, my mother hopes that you will have a happy childhood and make some good friends like other people of your age."

Mikoto looked at Itachi tenderly. Although she was married to the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, she didn't want his children to be like Fugaku, who had borne too much since childhood.

In her eyes, Itachi is an unusually sensible child, but his personality is somewhat withdrawn.

So Mikoto wanted him to study in the ninja school, not expecting Itachi to have any outstanding results.

And looking forward to him making sincere friends in the ninja school.

"Mom, I."

Looking at Mikoto's expectant expression, Itachi was in trouble for a while.

He finally had the chance to be reborn until now, and Itachi didn't want to go against any parents' wishes.

But rebirth not only gave him opportunities, but also brought greater pressure than before.

In order to prevent those tragedies from happening in the future, Itachi must become stronger than before as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if he knew what was going to happen in the future, he would be powerless to change it.

For example, the Nine-Tails incident that will happen in the near future, if he has enough power now, there is no need to try his best to avoid the village's high-level officials to meet the Fourth Hokage.

It's the same before Itachi's rebirth, if he is strong enough, maybe he doesn't have to choose the path of extermination, his parents won't die, and he doesn't need to turn against brothers Sasuke.

With great strength, he can eliminate anyone who threatens the clan and the village.
Thinking of this, Itachi made up his mind, looked up at Mikoto, and said, "Mom, I can meet friends anywhere, but I really don't want to go to the ninja school."

In order not to let those tragedies happen again in the future, Itachi refused his mother's request.

Mikoto frowned because of this.

At this moment, Fuyue, who had been silent for a while, looked at Itachi and said, "You mean, you don't need the guidance of the ninja school teacher at all?"

Itachi shook his head and said, "Dad, you know, I didn't mean that."

"The ninja school was founded by the ancestors of Hokage. For decades, the teachers in the school have trained many excellent ninjas."

"I just feel that according to my own situation, the education method of ninja school is not suitable for me."

In the past, Itachi spent a year to complete all the courses of the ninja school. Although his body is only five years old, his ninjutsu knowledge and experience are still there.

According to his personality and the current situation, of course he is unwilling to go to ninja school again and repeat the lessons he has already mastered.

Fu Yue nodded, he glanced at Mikoto beside him, then at Itachi, and said, "Since you've already said that, I understand."

"Then come and prove to me that what you just said is true."

"How to prove it?" Itachi looked at Fuyue and frowned slightly.

Fu Yue lowered his eyes and said calmly: "For ninjas, theoretical knowledge is also essential, but I believe that kind of test will not trouble you."

"Mobility is the key to a ninja's qualifications. To put it simply, you need to prove your strength to me."

"If you have reached the point where you don't need the guidance of those teachers in the ninja school, I don't want my son to waste time on this kind of thing."

"It's still half a month before the Ninja School's freshman test. As long as you can do it, I agree that you don't have to go to the Ninja School and stay in the clan to practice. How about it?"

"Then what is your standard, Dad?" Itachi asked.

"I will arrange for a newcomer in the clan who has just graduated from the ninja school to practice against you. My standard is that you must defeat him." Fu Yue said, crossing his arms.

"This..." Itachi was silent for a moment when he heard the words.

Mikoto, who was in the middle of Fugaku and Itachi, was also surprised by the conditions proposed by the former.

Because no matter how talented Itachi is, he is only five years old after all.

Even if he has already opened Sharingan at this time, this is almost never done among the ninjas in the clan.

But applying Sharingan to battle requires a considerable amount of Chakra, which Itachi simply cannot afford with his current age and physical condition.

And the Uchiha people who graduated from the Ninja School are naturally among the best among the students of the same class.

Let the current Itachi fight against him, there is no chance of winning at all.

Opposite Fuyue, Itachi hesitated for a while, then gradually raised his head.

"Father, I promise you that I will definitely meet your standards before the freshman test at the ninja school!" Itachi had no choice, and he really didn't want to waste the time he spent growing up.

"Okay, then I look forward to your performance."

Fu Yue said calmly: "But if you can't do it, just be obedient and go to the ninja school to complete all the courses."

"Ah."

Itachi nodded emphatically.

Looking at the father and son who had already made an agreement with each other, Meiqin couldn't interrupt anymore.

At night, Mikoto and Fugaku's room.

"Sasuke is asleep?"

Fu Yue sat cross-legged on the bed, still not falling asleep, and looked at Mikoto who had just walked in through the door of the next room.

Meiqin nodded, frowned lightly, and said, "Itachi seems to have something very serious in his heart."

"Oh, yes."

Fu Yue responded, as parents, of course they could see what Itachi was thinking.

"Is it because we put too much pressure on Itachi since he was a child, that's why Itachi is...?" Miqin looked worried and clasped her hands.

"do not know."

Fu Yue said: "Maybe there are factors you mentioned in it, but more importantly, Itachi's thinking was not in line with people of his age from the very beginning."

"His mind is too heavy, so inadvertently, he puts a lot of pressure on himself."

Meiqin looked surprised, and said: "If that's the case, then why did you make such an agreement with him just now?"

"Won't that put more pressure on him?"

"Ha ha."

Suddenly, Fu Yue looked at Mikoto and laughed lightly, showing a slightly teasing expression that was different from his usual serious face.

"I've heard people say that women's IQ will decrease after giving birth, and it seems to be true."

When Meiqin heard this, she rolled her eyes at him.

Fu Yue continued to smile and said, "The rules I set for him are impossible to complete."

"The reason why I did this is to tell Itachi that not everything in the world is as he thinks, and there are some things that cannot be accomplished without experiencing them."

"For him, experiencing a failure is not a bad thing."

"Otherwise, even under our persuasion, he reluctantly agrees to study in the ninja school, it will be difficult to accept what you want him to accept, isn't it?"

Miqin suddenly realized that Fuyue thought more comprehensively than her.

"However, since Itachi agreed to you, it means he"

She knew Itachi very well, and the latter would not blindly promise what Fugaku himself could not do at all.

Fuyue nodded, his eyes flickered, and said, "I was indeed taken aback when he agreed so simply."

"This shows that he may have a way to achieve something that even you and I think is impossible within half a month."

(I'm a little unwell today, I'll be fine in the evening, update late at night, sorry.)
