16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 283 Choice
Today's dinner at Uchiha Fuyue's family was extraordinarily sumptuous.

Not only because he wanted to clean up the dust for Uchiha Itachi, who was studying abroad, but also to celebrate this child who is second to none in the Uchiha clan, but very stubbornly chose a development path that is completely different from the genius ninja in the eyes of the clan. , finally completed his study career in the ninja school and entered a new stage of life.

"It's really unimaginable, Itachi, you actually studied in the ninja school for seven years..."

Uchiha Mikoto said with some emotion while stroking her eldest son's shoulder-length hair:

"I thought you would pass all the exams in the ninja school with full marks early and become a ninja like Shisui did back then."

"Because the environment I and Zhishui are facing is different, mother."

Uchiha Itachi looked at the overabundant food in front of him, and adjusted his posture with a wry smile so that his mother could touch him more easily, while explaining seriously:
"If Zhishui and I switched identities, I believe he would make the same choice as me."

"Hey, mom doesn't quite understand what you're saying, you've really grown up, Itachi."

Here Uchiha Mikoto is lamenting the passage of time, while Uchiha Fugaku looks into Uchiha Itachi's eyes seriously, and asks seriously:

"So, you have stayed in the ninja school for seven years, and every year when Konoha and Kirigakure hold exchange activities, you will take the initiative to sign up. What do you think now, Itachi?"

"Probably...satisfied?"

After Uchiha Itachi thought for a while, he gave this answer:

"If I, like everyone once expected, choose to graduate and become a ninja as long as I have learned all kinds of knowledge taught in the ninja school, then I may be the same as the vast majority of people in Konoha. I feel confused about the successive reform plans introduced there.”

"Although it may not be easy to understand, the seven years of being able to absorb knowledge and improve myself without worry has indeed allowed me to acquire something more important than becoming a ninja...

If possible, I hope that every child of the Uchiha clan can enjoy the carefree learning time in school like me in the future, instead of foolishly choosing Graduating early allowed me to make choices for the rest of my life in a state of being far from mature. "

"Ugh……"

After listening to Uchiha Itachi's answer, Uchiha Fugaku's face showed a helpless expression of "as expected", he put down the tableware in his hand, sighed a long time, and said in a slightly embarrassing and melancholy tone:

"Fourth Mizukage Kaguya, he is really good at attracting young people like you who are talented and willing to think."

"That person who is known as the reincarnation of the gods after all," Uchiha Itachi blinked, and said with some emotion: "The closer you stare at him, the more you can feel his power. Amazing ideas and ideas ahead of their time...”

"If it wasn't for the moon fall incident seven years ago that made people in the ninja world realize the reality, I would be extremely distressed by your thinking tendency now, Itachi."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, half helplessly, half gratifiedly looking at his proud eldest son, then sighed slowly:

"Although most people in the clan have recognized the reality, it is not something that can be done in a day or two if they want to change their minds... But fortunately, there are you and Zhishui, otherwise, I really don't know Knowing what to do can make the people in the clan let go of the pride of the past, and accept the new things surging out of the tide of the times with an open mind."

"I will work hard." Itachi Uchiha had a serious expression and a serious tone.

"Well, let's not talk about things that are still far away. What do you want to do after graduating from ninja school, Itachi, do you have your own ideas?" Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand and naturally turned the topic to the next one stage.

"At present, I have thought about going to Konoha Ninja School to teach, but considering that I am only a child who has just graduated from Ninja School, it is difficult to get Konoha to agree to this matter. low?"

"So if I think more realistically, I will tend to perform some tasks issued by the village as a ninja, and then raise my ninja level to the position of a ninja or a special ninja as soon as possible, and then consider this matter. "

Uchiha Itachi shared his thoughts with his father very frankly, and after listening to Uchiha Itachi's speech, Uchiha Fugaku tapped his finger on the table lightly and said:
"Then, Itachi, have you considered cooperating with other people in the village?"

"Cooperation?"

Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Uchiha Fugaku suspiciously, while he who was watched spread his hands and said with a relaxed face:

"Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is as interested in studying the historical materials of the ninja world as you are, Itachi... If you feel that you are not qualified enough to be a mentor, you can cooperate with him, and then use Opening new courses in the school as a teaching assistant should be an option that can be considered, right?"

"...Father, how did you come up with this plan?"

"You are studying at Kirigakure, and I can't say that I don't pay any attention to the affairs of Kirigakure."

Uchiha Fugaku shrugged and said calmly:

"It's not difficult to borrow Jiraiya's reputation, because he is also very familiar with the Fourth Mizukage Kaguya Rei. You should know that you have always been a student with good grades at Kaguya Rei, but how to implement it specifically? For this plan, you have to communicate with him, Itachi... No matter what kind of work you plan to do in the future, communication skills are indispensable, aren't they?"

"I'll do it, father."

"Well, I also believe that you can do well. After all, you are a genius that no one in our Uchiha family can match. If even you can't do it, I don't know who else can do it. ..."

Just when the Uchiha family of four was enjoying such a happy family atmosphere of loving father and son, a cold female voice came from outside the window, which unexpectedly disrupted their plan to continue the family banquet:

"Sorry for the interruption, I am Anbu under the direct control of the Fourth Master, Mr. Fuyue, the Fourth Master has urgent matters to discuss with you, please leave for Hokage's office as soon as possible... Also, if Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke are also there If so, please take the two of them with you.”
