Naruto's Journey to Training

Looking at the clan members who were sent away, Fugaku rubbed his brows and looked at his two sons who were held in Mikoto's arms, one on each side.

"Itachi, Yu, if you have nothing else to do, just go to bed! It's getting late!"

Yu nodded, took Itachi's hand and left his mother's arms, and went upstairs under Mikoto's reluctant gaze.

Walking to his door, looking at Itachi who was still well-behaved, Yu turned his head and looked at his younger brother, "Itachi, do you want to sleep with your brother today!"

Itachi thought about it and nodded without hesitation. The two brothers had been sleeping together since they were young, and only in the past year or so did they have separate rooms.

At night, the two brothers lay quietly in bed, the moonlight shone in through the cracks in the window, casting a layer of mysterious gauze on the house.

Neither of the two brothers felt sleepy.

One is that he doesn’t need to sleep much, and the other is that his mind is full of worries.

"Itachi, what is your dream when you grow up?" Yu asked softly.

Itachi was silent for a moment before he responded, "Brother, I want the village to remain peaceful!"

"Peace? It really is such a heavy topic!" Yu thought lightly.

"Itachi, if one day you have to choose between family and village, what will you do?" Yu still asked the question that he really wanted to know the answer to.

Itachi frowned, "Brother, can't the village and the family live in peace?"

"I said if, I didn't say it will definitely happen." Yu replied helplessly.

"I'll stop both of them, brother!" Itachi replied firmly.

Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the family and the village still have the same importance in Itachi's heart."

"Haha! How dare a little brat like you say such big words? Go to sleep. Peace is far from being something that kids like you and me should worry about. Graduate from the Ninja School first."

After saying that, Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep. It seemed like he hadn't had a real sleep in more than a year!

"Itachi, I hope you can have a good dream tonight!"

Although he wanted to refute his brother's previous words, Itachi held back when he saw his brother closed his eyes.

"Well! Good night, brother." After saying that, Itachi also closed his eyes.

The next day, Yu woke up just after dawn. The feeling of falling asleep again was far less refreshing than when he was meditating and practicing. His head felt a little dizzy.

Sure enough, I have to cultivate to be happy, Yu thought secretly.

Glancing at Itachi who was still sleeping peacefully beside him, Yu did not disturb Itachi and tiptoed down the stairs.

Yu saw his mother busy in the kitchen. After saying good morning to her, Yu hurried to the backyard.

When Mikoto heard the voice and turned around, she found that the person was gone.

"This kid..." Mikoto shook her head helplessly.

When we arrived at a remote area in the backyard, we saw four square fields that had been plowed out, with wooden fences next to them.

Here are the precious medicinal herbs planted by Yu. Since awakening the four auxiliary professions, Yu has attached great importance to these four auxiliary professions.

Both refining equipment and refining pills require precious materials, so the young Yu had no way to improve his progress in these two areas through training.

However, formations are different from planting techniques. The former only requires continuous practice of various prohibitions and can be arranged through cinnabar and yellow talismans.

The latter can gain some experience from anything Yu grows, so Yu has developed a habit of farming since he was a child.

It has to be said that as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku's backyard is big enough. In addition to the training ground, there are still many empty spaces in the backyard.

The four plots of land together account for seven or eight acres, and are almost all planted with flowers and plants that Yu has dug from the wild over the years.

Of course, these flowers and plants are not dug up randomly, they all have different medicinal properties to a certain extent.

According to the Herbal Compendium provided by the Art of Planting, Yu can clearly distinguish the functions and medicinal properties of each plant.

However, the medicinal properties of the herbs in the ninja world are too low, and he needs to cultivate them bit by bit through spiritual power to deepen their original power before they can become materials for refining pills.

When Yu entered the garden, he first checked whether the spirit gathering array he had set up with talismans had been destroyed by insects and ants. After a thorough inspection, he found that all kinds of restrictions were still there. Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Setting up the array was a very time-consuming task.

However, the spirit gathering array set up with talismans is quite fragile. Compared with spirit stones, it is particularly easy to be destroyed by insects and ants.

Among the ordinary-level formations, there is no formation that can disperse insects or contain murderous intent.

Therefore, checking the integrity of the formation every day became a daily routine. Yu looked at the various bright and lush flowers and plants, and his mood improved a lot. After a while, these flowers and plants could be used to make pills!

Although they are just some basic pills, they are also an important life-saving trump card for me who does not have much spiritual power now.

Yu carefully loosened the soil in his small farmland according to the habits of various flowers and plants, and from time to time used the small cloud and rain technique in the water escape technique to irrigate these flowers and plants and nourish their roots.

Every move he made was full of concentration and seriousness, but what he didn't know was that Fugaku was standing quietly on the windowsill, watching his every move.

"When did my son start to develop this hobby?" Fugaku couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"I think it was when he was about three years old! He still clearly remembers that when he had just finished work and returned home, his eldest son held a weed by the roadside, opened his arms to him and asked him to hug him. Then, while he was laughing happily, he said in a baby voice that he wanted to plant crops in the backyard."

"At that time, I looked at my wife in confusion, but found that Mikoto also had a helpless look on her face.

My subconscious reaction was that I didn't want to agree, but when I saw my son's pleading eyes, I agreed without hesitation and even rubbed his little face with my beard.

It seemed as if the father and son were not unable to get close to each other from the beginning. When he was young, he would smile with joy every time he held Yu in his arms.

But when I was four years old and started ninja training, the relationship gradually became distant.

Itachi! He trains very hard and does whatever he is told, but Yu is very naughty. Apart from basic training, he seems to have endless things to do.

This lack of effort and perfunctory attitude towards ninjas is the reason for my transformation.

Whenever I criticized Yu because of this attitude, he would argue with me, and sometimes I couldn't even win an argument with a four-year-old child. Yu always had a lot of twisted ideas.

At that time, I seemed helpless and disappointed. I wanted to be like a majestic father and force him to destroy those useless things. However, every time I thought of the consequences of doing so, which might make the child extremely sad, I couldn't bear it.

Gradually, the father and son became silent, and usually I could only pretend to be a taciturn but majestic father.

Later, Itachi's performance became better and better, and he gradually became more open-minded. After all, who can guarantee that every child he gives birth to will be so outstanding?

He also let Yu indulge in his idle hobbies.

There was even a moment when I thought it was a good thing that my eldest son didn't have ninja talent. After all, the ninja profession was too depressing and painful. If the little guy hadn't stopped him from taking Itachi to the battlefield one day, I would probably still be kept in the dark..."

"Fugaku! What are you thinking about!" Mikoto walked behind him, hugged Fugaku gently and asked.

"It's nothing! Mikoto, thank you for your hard work." Fugaku came back to his senses and held Mikoto's hand on his waist.

"Why should I work so hard? I guess you're in a dilemma again at today's clan meeting!" Mikoto answered considerately.

"There's nothing we can do. The village is pressing too hard. It's normal for the tribesmen to be angry. If only the fourth generation was still here!" Fugaku sighed with a frown.

"I don't know how Kushina's child is doing. He lost his parents when he was young. I don't know if he is doing well now!" Mikoto asked sadly.

"That's my best friend's child!"

"Alas!" Fugaku did not directly answer his wife's question, but sighed deeply.

As the head of the security department, he naturally knew about Naruto's situation, but what could he do? The village was now defending against Uchiha as if it were defending against an enemy.

"I hope Yu and Itachi can grow up quickly! With their talents, they will surely be able to change the current situation of the village.

After saying that, the couple quietly looked at Yu who was busy in the backyard, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

"It's time to call the children to eat!" After a long time, when Yu was about to finish his work, Misaki spoke softly.

Fugaku nodded and walked towards the woods outside his house. He knew that Itachi was probably training secretly at this time.
