[Comprehensive] living to death

huh, huh...

Itachi was panting.

My younger brother has been doing all kinds of training consciously since he was three years old, running is of course not a problem.But it might be the first time to run so tired, right?Mingyue smiled and thought, yes, after all, it is the hell version of variable speed running hahaha!

"Pay attention to breathing." She reminded, "Although you have finished running, you can't relax. As a ninja, running is a common thing. If you are discovered by the enemy because of uneven breathing, you will die too unjustly, and you will definitely not be able to pass. The kind of condolence monument."

Her breathing was very even, but that was because she sat comfortably on the rocks by the lake without exhausting any energy.

Oh no, there might still be some physical exertion, that is, she kept shaking the dogtail grass in her hand.

"Huh... I see, sister." Itachi straightened his body, wiped off his sweat, and walked in front of Mingyue, "Can you teach me new ninjutsu now?"

His chest was still bulging just now, but now he has calmed down a lot, and he can speak very freely.

Itachi's talent seems to be very amazing.Thinking like this, Mingyue jumped down from the rock, and touched his younger brother's head; Itachi didn't move, and his calm expression showed that he was used to being treated like this by his sister.

Really, he was so calm that even the nasolabial folds (suspected) on his face remained motionless.

"Let me think about it~ What should I teach?" Mingyue said casually, but her footsteps had already arrived at the lake without hesitation, facing the direction of the lake, "How about starting with fire escape ninjutsu?"

Seal!Si-wei-shen-hai-wu-yin!

"Fire Escape, Great Fire Ball Technique!"

The raging flames spewed out quickly, burning a large fireball with a diameter of about five meters on the surface of the lake, and it continued to burn.Despite the water surface as a barrier, the ferrets by the lake could still feel a threatening heat wave, and even the weeds near the water curled up slightly.

He opened his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of surprise in the dark eyes.

Mingyue put her hands down, watched the last flame dissipate in the air, then turned her head and raised her eyebrows at her younger brother, "How is it?" She smiled complacently, "Sister, I am very powerful, right?"

Itachi pursed his lips and looked away slightly calmly.

"Sister," he said very coldly, "it's the 'Big Fireball Art', not the 'Big Fireball Art'. You even remember the name wrong."

"Hey...hey?" Mingyue's head suddenly dripped with cold sweat.She thought about it for a while, scratched her cheek, and said with a dry smile: "Ahahaha, big fireball or big fireball, aren't they all the same!"

"It's a lot worse, sister." Itachi still had a small face, but the corners of his mouth quietly raised to reveal his inner happiness, "My sister sometimes acts like a fool."

Maybe Itachi himself didn't realize it, but with his character, to say such "unruly" words to his elder sister can be regarded as a kind of coquettish in itself.Anyway, Mingyue thought so, so she was not angry at all, but smiled happily.

"Yes, let's treat it like this!"

She stretched out her hand, as if to touch her head, but changed her mind halfway, and flipped her brother's head lightly instead.

"Ah, sister!" Itachi touched his forehead, his first reaction was not to cry out in pain, but to be annoyed, "Didn't hide..."

He muttered very softly in the second half of the sentence, but Mingyue still heard it.

"That's why you are the idiot's younger brother!" She patted her younger brother's head, "Come on, try Da...cough, Hao Fireball, the seal is Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin, Remember it."

Itachi nodded, walked to a place next to his sister, closed his eyes slightly to recall, and then quickly and accurately printed the seal he had only seen once with his hands.

--Art fire escape ho fireball!

A fireball with a diameter of about 1 meter burned blazingly.

Itachi looked even more annoyed.Just as he was silently feeling the movement of Chakra and thinking about how to blow the fireball more fiercely, his intuitive alarm suddenly sounded.

There is a strong wind coming from the upper right!

At that moment, the black-haired kid quickly interrupted the chakra output, and at the same time turned backwards in the air; but as soon as he landed, several cold lights came, forcing him to back again and again.After dodging several times in a row, the attack stopped; Itachi maintained a posture with one hand on the ground, and his small face showed a calmness and alertness that did not meet his age.

"It's already very powerful, Little Weasel." Mingyue applauded, walked over and stretched out her hand to her younger brother, "Get up."

Itachi was always looking at her.Hearing what she said, he stood up by himself, ignoring Mingyue's hand in front of him.

"Angry?" Mingyue bent down and poked her younger brother's cheek with a smile, "Don't do this, you must know that the enemy will not obediently wait for you to finish your ninjutsu, and sneak attack from the side is the most common way."

"I know." Itachi nodded, "I'm not angry with my sister."

The younger brother's expression is indeed not angry, but more thoughtful.His eyes were darker than those of his peers, showing a deep light from time to time, making it difficult to see through.

Mingyue looked at her younger brother, then looked around, and suddenly took his hand and walked towards the lake in big strides; Itachi struggled for a while, but couldn't break free, and was obediently led by her sister.

"Just here." Mingyue found a place, sat on the floor very casually, and even lined up the seats on the side, "Young weasel sits too."

Itachi didn't say anything, just sat down silently.Just like they did before, Mingyue was cross-legged, and Itachi was sitting; one was casual and the other was solemn, but it seemed strangely harmonious, and no one was trying to correct the other.

Mingyue didn't speak all the time, but began to hum a song intermittently. It was a ditty that Itachi had never heard before.

Itachi is a child with a calm personality, but at this time he is also confused.He looked sideways at his sister, only to see her profile looking up at the sky, so he looked at the sky too, but he saw nothing but thick, cloudy clouds.

Instead, a crow landed not far from him, staring at him fiercely.The weasel took a few more glances at the black bird, and the crow flapped its wings and flew away, leaving behind a few pieces of black feathers, and the bird called "Ahhh" in the air.

"Sister," he couldn't help but asked, "Are we not practicing?"

What a waste of time sitting here.Mingyue read such meaning from her younger brother's face.She smiled, put one hand on her knee and the other on her chin, and tilted her head to look at her younger brother, "Is the weasel finally willing to speak?"

"Huh?" Itachi blinked in confusion.

"I know that other people have something on their minds, but they just don't say it. Doesn't it feel good?" Mingyue raised her index finger and dangled, and her smile made it hard to tell whether she was serious or casual. What the hell are you thinking? Recently, I’ve always been preoccupied, but I’m refusing to say anything, I’m just practicing hard and reading books alone, even my mother noticed it, and I’m a little worried.”

The younger brother in front of him opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and soon his face showed a little embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to deal with such a situation of being seen through.

"So, what was Little Weasel thinking just now?" Mingyue urged.

A moment of hesitation flashed across Itachi's immature face, and then he chose not to look at the bright moon, but instead looked at the surface of the lake with no waves in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Compared with my sister, I am still too weak."

"Do you care so much about strength and weakness? Why?"

"because……"

Itachi hesitated again, clenched his hands on his knees into fists.

"I want to be strong enough, strong enough to end conflicts in the world and create a world where everyone can live in peace."

His tone of voice is very firm, and it contains a strong confidence in himself.From this point of view, his hesitation just now was not aimed at himself, but just wondering whether he should tell his sister about this lofty ideal.

"...Is it really because Dad took you to the battlefield last time?" Mingyue rubbed her face as if her teeth were hurting, with a strange expression, "Little Weasel, are you serious?"

Once again, she slapped the table in her heart and yelled at her father (?), who was dragging around two to five to eighty thousand dollars. At the same time, she seriously considered whether to take her younger brother to find a reliable psychiatrist. This child may be suffering from PTSD...

"Yes." Itachi turned his head to look at her, his eyes were very calm, but it was because of this calmness that he showed a stronger stubbornness, "This is my ideal."

The two siblings looked at each other for a while.

"Are you going to become Hokage?" Mingyue asked suddenly.

Itachi was obviously taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded solemnly, "Of course, otherwise there is no way to do more."

Mingyue narrowed her eyes.She stared at her brother for a while, then suddenly jumped up, crossed her arms, looked down at her brother, and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Hmph, that's really a pity, little Itachi." She said, "The seat of Hokage is destined to belong to your elder sister and me. Since you are my younger brother, I will leave you the seat of my confidant."

"...No." The corners of Itachi's lips were drawn into a tight straight line, and even his voice was tense, "Even if it's my sister, I won't admit defeat."

"Very good, with momentum." Mingyue hooked her fingers at him, her gestures were provocative, "Come on, actions are much more convincing than words, when will you beat me, let's talk about competing with Hokage !"

She didn't know when she held a handful of kunai in her hand, and the sharp blade gleamed.

"It's coming!"

……

******

With her younger brother on her back, Mingyue walked slowly on the streets of Muye Village with a takeaway box from the dumpling shop in her hand.

"Sister...let me down..."

"No." Mingyue refused with a relaxed and happy smile, "Who told you, Little Weasel, to be brave and sprain your ankle? Luckily, I didn't have a broken bone, otherwise I might be beaten into a broken bone by my father, okay?" Go to Konoha Hospital to be your next bed."

She felt her brother on her back hugged her neck tightly, and buried his face firmly on her back, as if he was ashamed.

"Why are you shy?" Mingyue joked, "Fortunately, it was your sister who carried you, not the girl you like, otherwise it would be so hard to lift your head, hahaha~"

"Sister!" Itachi's voice sounded more frustrated.

He finally looked like a four-year-old child, rather than a deep and serious adult who read the world.

Mingyue is very happy to see Itachi like this.

"We're back!"

After arriving home, facing Itachi's injury, Mikoto naturally felt distressed. Fugaku who had just returned home also reprimanded Mingyue a few words, but it was not serious. From Fugaku's point of view, it is quite common for ninjas to suffer minor injuries. If it weren't for Itachi's age Little, he didn't even have to mention it.

After lunch, Mingyue planned to continue molesting her cute younger brother, but Fuyue stopped her.

"Mingyue, come with me." Fuyue glanced at his son next to him and waved, "Itachi can go to his room to rest."

Mingyue had already held her younger brother's hand, so she had no choice but to let go.Itachi looked at her, remained silent, and let his mother hug him.

The sunny dolls hanging in the corridor jingled.

When Mingyue closed the door of the living room, Fuyue had already sat upright on the mat.Mingyue glanced at her father's serious face, walked over to kneel down on the cushion under his head, and behaved himself once in a while.

"How are things at work?" Fu Yue asked.

"It's not bad." Mingyue's sitting posture is regular, but her tone is still so casual, "When I report to Master Hokage next time, I should be able to be promoted to Chunin."

Fu Yue sneered slightly.

"Dad, you don't think that Hokage intends to suppress me, do you?" Mingyue said helplessly after seeing Fuyue's expression clearly.

"This is the truth!" Fuyue's tone was sharp for a moment, and then he was suppressed, "With the merits accumulated in the previous war, you could have become a Chunin long ago, but you have been dragged until now... Huh, the fourth generation!"

The Fourth Hokage is Namikaze Minato, Obito's teacher, Mingyue's fellow apprentice.

"Father, don't make conspiracy theories. I'm a teacher with the fourth generation. Why is he suppressing me?" Mingyue shook her head, "I think this should be the third generation's idea. Anyway, the third generation is going to retire, why don't you let me Being promoted by the new Hokage is good for the fourth generation and me."

One emperor and one courtier, this expression is not appropriate here, but it probably means this.

Fu Yue has an opinion on Namikaze Minato, but he is the head of the clan and the captain of the Konoha Police Force, and he has both ability and structure.When Mingyue mentioned it a little, he understood it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his daughter's eyes.

In the past few years, this once stubborn eldest daughter had surprised him countless times, but this time, what the daughter showed was something other than force—brain.

This also made him make up his mind.

"Mingyue, starting from this week, you also need to attend our Uchiha's regular family meeting." Fuyue said, "The place is at Nanga Shrine."
