Chapter 21 - Chapter 20: The Frail Itachi

 Snapping.

  Just as Jin was quietly looking outside the village, a figure suddenly fell at his feet.

  He frowned and kicked subconsciously: "Parker, get out; I'm not in the mood to play with you right now."

  Snap.

  The outstretched calf was stopped.

  "Ember, it's me." Itachi squinted slightly, a warm smile on his face. "Are you basking in the sun again today?"

  After saying that, he patted the dust on Ember's calves.

  There was a lot of dust on the courtyard wall.

  "Why don't you go on a mission today?"

  Jin glanced at his brother, feeling weak.

  No entries had been copied today, and he didn't really want to communicate deeply with Itachi.

  "No, my father recently prepared to let me enter the Anbu."

  Itachi sat next to him.

  His voice was gentle, like the sun in spring, making people feel comfortable.

  But what he said made Jin raise his eyes.

  Enter the Anbu?

  If he remembered correctly, he had been working as an undercover agent at this time, but was completely instigated, right?

  "What's wrong?" Itachi looked over.

  "Have the family and the village really reached this point?"

  Listening to Jin's words, the smile on Itachi's face flickered.

  His squinted eyes widened slightly:

  "Sure enough, you are still as smart as ever."

  He was obviously just a child who loved to bask in the sun.

  Yet he could accurately infer the situation from a simple piece of information!

  This!

  It's simply not something ordinary people can do!

  "It seems that Jin's head is better than that of the Nara clan; he won't yield much."

  Itachi thought this and nodded subconsciously.

  The expression in his eyes dimmed for a moment.

  The conflict between the village and the family had indeed reached a point where there was no room for compromise.

  It was no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for their father's restraint, the clan would have launched a coup long ago.

  But!

  These are outsiders!

  He took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, there was only firmness on his face:

  "Don't worry, Jin; I will definitely protect you and Sasuke!"

  "Then, where is Sister Mikoto?"

  Itachi: ...

  "Let's... let's talk about you letting the dog chase Sasuke."

  He took a breath and asked the question.

  "I've been watching this whole time, so—"

  Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Jin interrupted him.

  "My father, did you hear that? He watched the whole process for a while!"

  Itachi: ?

  Jin suddenly turned around, jumped up, pointed at Itachi, and complained.

  Under the wall,

  Tomitake carried Sasuke by the back of his neck and threw him against the wall like a chicken.

  Originally a clean, white, tender, and cute little boy,

  now his body was covered with dirt.

  It even had a faint smell of dog urine.

  Making people want to lower their heads.

  As soon as Fugaku arrived at the wall, he heard Jin's words.

  He looked up at his smartest and most powerful eldest son.

  He sighed slightly.

  Creation!

  This eldest son, who was the most well-behaved, intelligent, and extremely talented, had actually begun to have problems!

  His eyebrows twisted slightly, and he said hesitantly:

  "Itachi, Sasuke has always regarded you as an idol and loves you very much..."

  The rest of the words were not fully spoken, but only one piece of news was revealed inside and out:

  As an older brother, he actually allowed his younger brother to be bitten by a dog!

  Itachi had a somewhat mixed expression on his face.

  His eyes kept shifting between Jin and Tomitake, and finally fell on Sasuke by the wall.

  He sighed deeply.

  No more details.

  Useless rebuttals would only exacerbate conflicts.

  Even though he had seen improvement in the villagers' attitudes,

  Sasuke, though willing to argue, had already received a lesson before returning.

  Naturally, he didn't dare to say anything again.

  "Hmph! You three brothers should reflect today!"

  After a while, Fugaku shook off his sleeves, turned around, and left.

  He couldn't even bear to say a harsher word.

  Only the three brothers were left looking at each other.

  After a while, Itachi chuckled, picked up Sasuke, and coaxed him like a child: "Go wash up if you stink."

  Jin looked at their backs and silently adjusted his posture.

  He lay more comfortably.

  In front of him, a line of prompts flashed slowly.

  [Defeated Sasuke Uchiha and is trying to copy the entry.]

  [Replication successful; congratulations to the host for obtaining the ordinary entry "Tsundere" (White).]

  Ember: ...

  Feed!

  Now immediately feed this entry to the Thunder God!

. . . . .

  A month later.

  In the early morning, in the Uchiha clan, after finishing breakfast.

  Tomitake watched Sasuke knock on the table and said, "Let's go to the river later; I'll teach you how to refine chakra."

  Hearing this, Sasuke's eyes widened suddenly, like those of a cow.

  After trying three times to swallow the rice balls in his mouth, he said excitedly: "Really, really, Father!! Can I finally start practicing?"

  "Really."

  Fugaku rubbed his head.

  This little son is so energetic!

  For a month straight, he had been chased by dogs every day!

  How unreasonable!

  Now he goes out to run errands and the people in the village point at him, saying:

  "Look, he's the dog-chasing dad."

  Hehe, his child was kicked out by a dog for half a month.

  The Uchiha are now in a state of decline. Are they going to play with dogs? Hahaha!

  All kinds of comments made his head ache.

  Some even jokingly called Sasuke and Jin the two dragons of Uchiha.

  One chased dogs all day long.

  The other chattered all day.

  This was simply a world of difference from the previously unattainable Uchiha people.

  He had no choice but to find a way to discipline Sasuke.

  It is worth mentioning that in the process of chasing dogs, Sasuke also gained a group of team members!

  Imps represented by yellow hair and green clothes!

  They also joined the dog-chasing team.

  And it was no longer limited to the previous seven small Shiba Inus.

  As long as they saw a dog in the village, they would chase it!

  This also frightened the nearest dog in the village, Akamaru.

  Thinking this, Jin turned around and looked at Parker outside the door.

  The seven little Shiba Inus behind him were even starting to grow muscles.

  Biceps brachii.

  Sure enough, chasing is the real exercise.

  After eating, Tomitake turned around and left with Sasuke.

  Itachi thoughtfully helped their mother, Mikoto, with the housework.

  And Ember?

  He then followed into the kitchen with a smile.

  Before he could speak, Itachi quickly said:

  "Don't worry; I will protect you and Sasuke, whether the person opposite is from the village or not."

  "If someone wants to take Shisui's eyes, I will definitely organize it; not even Danzo!"

  Questions and answers over the past few days had allowed Itachi to discover Ember's favorite responses.

  In short, in short.

  Just always be on your side.

  After receiving a satisfactory answer and chatting for another ten minutes, Jin turned around and left.

  But as soon as he raised his feet, the scene in front of him made him stop.

  "Huh? What's wrong with you?"

  "No, it's okay."

  Jin pulled the corner of his mouth, turned around, and patted his brother's shoulder on tiptoe, sighing:

  "One dozen seven, I have to remember to look after my body."

  "Why are you so weak at such a young age?"

  [Conversation target: Itachi Uchiha.]

  [Spoke for ten minutes and is trying to copy the entry.]

  [Successful; congratulations to the host for obtaining the white entry "Frail" (White).]

  [Weakness: Under the influence of the entry "Hikaru Yūrei," the body cannot bear the shortcomings caused by the spirit and is difficult to make up for.]
