Itachi, who only wanted to tell his brother that he was leaving for the Chunin Exams, had a slight look of confusion and disappointment on his face.
Although he didn't say it, the low pressure that followed him like a shadow revealed his uneasy mood.
"What's wrong? Itachi."
Noticing her eldest son's depressed look, Uchiha Mikoto showed concern and a little surprise.
The eldest son is actually lost?
This is really rare.
It’s not that Uchiha Mikoto is being Versailles.
It’s just that her eldest son has never given her any worries since he was a child.
Whether it is life or study.
As long as he learns, he will be able to master it and can always apply it to other situations.
Not only that, his personality is much more mature and stable than that of ordinary children. Not only can he take care of himself, but he also helps me take care of Sasuke.
So seeing him like this today, Uchiha Mikoto even wanted to turn around to see if the sun was rising from the west.
Perhaps because the person asking the question was his mother, Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment before expressing his distress:
"Sasuke seems to be avoiding me lately."
With the first sentence, the second and third sentences will naturally follow.
"The last few times we met, he said he had something to do."
"Usually...you don't usually look for me like you used to."
It would be better if I didn't say it, but it's even more sad now that I say it.
Sasuke is so cute.
Ever since he was able to walk, he has been stumbling behind me and calling me brother.
Whether in life or study, there is always such a cute little tail behind you.
But now...
"Is this what they call the rebellious period?"
Uchiha Itachi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Uchiha Mikoto: "..."
That's not the case.
Uchiha Mikoto felt that she more or less knew where the problem lay.
After all, Itachi's teaching method... isn't something that everyone can handle.
Probably because of the people he came into contact with when he was a child, whether it was Shisui or the employees of Ugetsu Shoten, they were all elites.
Therefore, Itachi's cognition may have some small problems because of this.
This has led to some deviations in other people's learning abilities and tolerance levels.
for example.
Not everyone knows their weaknesses.
Go all out and do everything possible to make up for it, and strive for excellence.
Not everyone can study and work seriously according to a schedule that is filled 24 hours a day.
Especially since Sasuke is still so young, he is very active and playful.
Uchiha Mikoto didn't want to interfere in the children's affairs, but considering that if Itachi continued to do so, the rift between the two brothers might become bigger and bigger, she still spoke implicitly:
"Itachi, have you ever thought about what the reason is?"
The boy, who still had some baby fat on his face, tilted his head:
"Isn't it the rebellious period?"
——Of course not.
Uchiha Mikoto tried to induce again:
"There has to be an inducement for him to rebel."
Uchiha Itachi: "...So Sasuke has become a bad person?"
"No, according to the schedule I arranged for Sasuke, he shouldn't have time to go out and learn bad things."
The smile on Uchiha Mikoto's face almost disappeared: You know that too.
She sighed:
"Itachi, not everyone can accept a schedule of this intensity."
The boy was even more confused: "But this is the most efficient way to learn and practice."
The morning is used to consolidate the areas in which you are strong, while the afternoon is used to focus on your weaknesses.
At night, you can also use the hints of the Sharingan to integrate them in your dreams. This efficient use of time can enable people to improve themselves in the shortest time.
Isn’t this perfect?
How could anyone not like becoming stronger efficiently?
“Because not everyone can learn it just by studying it.”
"For example, there are still many things I am not good at. It's not that I didn't try hard to learn, but that after I still can't find the trick and am not good at it."
Uchiha Mikoto tried to explain, but Uchiha Itachi couldn't understand that feeling.
This may sound like bragging, but Uchiha Itachi has never encountered any bottleneck in his ninja training from birth to now.
So he always learns more and more smoothly, and becomes happier and happier as he learns.
"Shouldn't we study and practice more to overcome the areas we don't know?"
At the same time, another key point is grasped.
"Mother, is there anything you are not good at? Where?"
Uchiha Itachi got into the state in a second.
"Own
Have you tried practicing it?"
Itachi's "Little Radar" is online at the speed of light.
"Are you unable to find the key points or is there something wrong with the method you are using? Have you asked other people?"
After teaching thirty students, Uchiha Itachi has summed up his own set of "teaching experience".
Regardless of whether it is suitable for students or not, he has gained a sense of teaching and experience.
Uchiha Mikoto never expected that this matter would backfire on her, so she could only smile awkwardly:
"That's all in the past. Mom is so old now..."
"How could that be? You are now in your prime, the golden age of ninja."
The little boy looked at his mother seriously.
“Overcome what you are not good at, and you can reach greater heights.”
"Don't worry, mother. Tell me if you have any problems. I will work with you to find a solution."
Although the questions he had encountered from students so far could be easily solved with his hands, Uchiha Itachi never felt annoyed.
He is confident that he can help all students overcome their weaknesses.
Uchiha Mikoto: The smile gradually disappears.jpg
How did things turn out like this?
Shouldn't she be the one to comfort Itachi, make him understand where his problem lies, and then repair the emotional rift between the brothers?
How come she is now being taught a lesson by her own son?
Seeing her eldest son's serious expression, Uchiha Mikoto stood up immediately:
"I'm still cooking in the kitchen, go do something else first."
Uchiha Mikoto was very satisfied with her current life, and didn't really want to be watched by her son to "fill in the gaps" again.
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
The boy's loss was not only not relieved, but it became even worse.
Anyway... before I leave, I should make a plan for my mother.
It's rare that my mother brings it up, so I can't just turn a blind eye to it.
On the other hand, Uchiha Sasuke ran upstairs under the excuse that he had something to do, but after thinking it over, he still felt that it was not safe to stay at home.
Who knows if my brother will turn around and knock on the door.
This won't work.
Thinking of this, he stopped walking around, opened the window and jumped out.
He decided to go find Naruto.
No matter how much my brother stares at me
Shao, it's impossible for you to run to the Fourth Master's house and bring him back, right?
"…So you're running away to escape because studying is too hard?"
The blond boy blinked and summarized his friend's complaints with his own logic.
Uchiha Sasuke:?
"How can that be called escaping?"
Running away is a coward's act, okay? He is an Uchiha, how could he possibly run away?
"Itachi-nii-tai..."
"Too what?"
“It’s too full!”
Of course Uchiha Sasuke would not say anything bad about his brother in front of outsiders.
But in this matter, Itachi-kun really went too far.
No one's schedule is set for 24 hours a day.
Uchiha Sasuke used to wish he could be with Qingtie 24 hours a day.
But when he really sees his brother from the moment he opens his eyes to the moment he closes them to the moment he opens his eyes again, and he even has to say "get it?"
Sasuke found that maybe, probably... he was really not worthy of it.
Maybe having some distance like in the past is just right.
"It's not three hours or five hours, but a full twenty-four hours."
Uchiha Sasuke really doesn't mind becoming stronger.
But working 24 hours a day, plus comparing myself to my over-excellent brother, is exhausting and depressing.
He even started to doubt himself at one point.
They are born from the same parents, how can there be such a big difference between them?
"Don't worry, you are a certified Uchiha, it can't be fake."
After listening to his friend's distress, Uzumaki Naruto patted his shoulder firmly to comfort him.
"Besides, you were born in Konoha Hospital. So many people were watching. It couldn't be wrong."
Uchiha Sasuke: "..."
Although it was a comfort...but why did it seem like I was even angrier?
"Anyway, I'm not going back today."
The black-haired boy made a stubborn sound.
"Okay, I won't go, I won't go--Hey, by the way, have you watched "Ninja Girl"?"
“Who wants to watch a work with a female protagonist… Hey, why are you stuffing it into my mouth?”
"It's so beautiful! Look!"
"Sakura is the best in the world!"
"No matter what, she is still Miss Ritsuko..."
Uchiha Sasuke was only halfway through his words when he
I realized something was wrong. Then I saw my friend looking at me mischievously.
"Hehehe...you're still watching it, aren't you?"
"I, I'm going to study!"
"With so many ninjas obsessed, there must be something to it!"
Uchiha Sasuke tried to remedy the situation.
But Uzumaki Naruto just acted like 'I understand, I understand everything'.
——Hi, who doesn’t like a beautiful sister?
Especially the beautiful sisters who risked their lives for justice and peace.
It's a problem if you don't like it.
Uchiha Sasuke: "..."
I don't want to pay attention to him.
How many worries can a boy or girl who grows up in a carefree environment have?
It's nothing more than these noisy things.
Even though you're sulking now, you'll be back to normal in a short while.
By the time the Uchiha family came to pick them up, the two were already sprawled out on the floor, fast asleep.
There were snacks and half-read books around.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Itachi."
Minato Namikaze looked at his son, who was not only making trouble on his own, but also looked unpresentable by bringing other people's children with him, so he had to clear his throat and apologize.
"It doesn't matter."
Uchiha Itachi, who came to pick up his brother, shook his head.
He walked forward, picked up his brother and helped him sit up, then turned sideways and let the man lean on his back to carry him on his back.
"Sasuke was the one who interrupted first."
He bowed to Minato Namikaze.
"Then we will go back first, Fourth-sama."
"Well, take your time on the road."
Minato Namikaze leaned against the door frame, waved at the two of them, and watched them leave.
The two brothers disappeared behind the door.
Minato Namikaze also came in and picked up Uzumaki Naruto who was sleeping on the ground, put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt, then shook his head and walked out.
When passing by a room with a half-open door, he said helplessly and amusedly:
"I don't know who Naruto learned this habit of falling asleep as soon as he lies on the ground. If you wake up, please be gentle."
After the news of the Chunin Exam spread, the ones who took action faster than the ninjas were the tourists from all over the place.
"Finally! Finally!"
"You know how hard I've been waiting
"
"It's too bad to promote it but not open it to tourism!"
Whether it is the Chunin Exam or the Sea Park, they are projects that people have been looking forward to for a long time.
The most common mission that the ninjas from each village have received recently has become 'escort to the Water Country'.
——Of course we said we were going to the Water Country, but everyone actually knew where the destination was.
At this time, Yu Yue Express and the delivery routes that the ninjas had worked so hard to open up came in handy.
Because the route and transportation were prepared in advance.
It is enough for the ninjas to escort them in batches.
Places to stay and overnight are also prepared along the way.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, whether traveling or checking in, everything can be done like an assembly line.
Of course, even if an accident occurs, it will not be a big problem, because there is support in the front and back. Not only are the ninjas involved in the escort in a better condition than those who have to sleep in the open air, but the surrounding ninjas can also provide support nearby.
Security is also greatly improved.
However, compared with the ninjas, the tourists are the ones who benefit more.
Going out is a chore, and going far away is even more difficult.
Because it has always been like this, people are mentally prepared long before they go out.
Even if there are ninjas who can guarantee safety, you still have to move around on your own feet, riding on a ox cart or something like that, and you still have to bear the running around and the resulting fatigue yourself.
If it weren't for the fact that there is really no other entertainment, and the series of activities organized by Yu Yue are super interesting, people can forget all the hard work along the way.
People would not flock to this "isolated" place called Xiangshui Kingdom.
Although it is one of the five major countries.
But for most people in other countries on the same continent, both the Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Water are almost just legendary existences.
Do you know? I know a little bit.
But to say whether you understand it or have been there is another matter.
However, once you decide to go, you will have different expectations.
After all, it is a place that only exists in legends and stories.
It’s worth it even if it’s tiring!
However, when people actually embarked on the journey, they found out.
Their journey was much more comfortable than they had imagined.
Not only can you take a carriage most of the time (although not a good one), but
Moreover, they usually only travel during the day and can find nearby villages and towns to stay at night.
Ninjas also help with tasks such as check-in, and not only is the fee not expensive, you can even get a meal.
This is a huge shock to tourists who usually spend most of their time outdoors and have to spend a lot of money on food, drink and accommodation when traveling in towns.
Facing the shocked tourists, the ninja smiled and explained:
"These are the special lines opened by Ugetsu Express for this Chunin Exam. There are several meeting points in each country, and transportation and accommodation along the way have basically been arranged."
No matter which of the five major ninja villages you go to, as long as the mission you receive is to go to the Sea Paradise or the Chunin Exam, you can take this 'Chunin Exam Special Line'."
“It’s actually possible!”
As people suddenly realized the truth, their shock deepened.
"Owner Yuyue is really generous."
"Really, in order to facilitate our travel, the owner of Yuyue has prepared so much."
There are also curious:
"What about other routes? If I want to go somewhere else, is there such service?"
"I'm sorry, but at the moment, the Unblocked Escort Service only has this Chunin Exam line open. We don't know if there will be other routes in the future... Perhaps you could take a look at the announcements at the Ugetsu Store?"
As a world-class industry, all major projects of Yuyue Store will be notified uniformly.
"That's a shame."
The man who asked the question shook his head.
He also thought that if there were similar routes in other places, he could visit more places next time.
In this world where the vast majority of people never leave the place where they were born, "foreign" is a word that naturally carries its own appeal.
A strange land, strange culture and people.
Who doesn’t have some ideas?
What a pity.
But unfortunately it was only temporary. After all, they were about to go to the Sea Paradise!
That is the legendary magical land where gold, silver and jewelry are everywhere and you can catch fish even if you just go deep into the sea with a hemp rope!
Who wouldn’t like it?
Not only that, people even gathered together and happily chatted about various topics.
The harmonious and happy atmosphere brought by safety makes it impossible for people to have any other ideas.
Some people rely on the goods and projects of Yuyue Store
If someone makes a lot of money, there will naturally be people who don’t get a share or have competitors who are envious to the point of green eyes.
Seeing that every activity held by Yu Yue Store is so popular, they are scratching their heads and feeling anxious and distressed.
What's going on?
How could this be?
Watching your peers making money is really more painful than losing money yourself - especially when you actually lose money because of it.
They couldn't go when the lottery was held to get qualifications, but now that it's open, they can finally get people in.
Originally, these people were sent here to work on Huang Yuyue's store project.
After all, everyone knows that traveling is tiring and painful.
In this situation, people's emotions are already unstable, and if they are provoked a little, someone will definitely fall into the trap.
Where there is one, there will be two. Ninjas can certainly deal with external dangers.
But tourists are their employers.
The employer and the employee are arguing and having a conflict, but the ninjas can't resort to violence, right?
If the ninjas cannot take action, the conflict will escalate.
Then people naturally lost the desire to go sightseeing.
Along the way, the only thing left to complain about was naturally - perfection.
…Originally, this was their plan.
But now, these people who were mixed in the crowd could only stand there in a daze.
There's nothing else they can do except stare blankly.
They couldn't interrupt the lively conversation in front of them.
"I have prepared this amount, and I must spend it all when the time comes!"
One person was gesticulating enthusiastically.
"That's right, I won't come back until I can't fit in my luggage!"
Another person also slapped his thigh happily.
Only the 'spies' who were photographed coming in to cause trouble were dumbfounded.
No, brother, you're planning to spend money before you even go?
"What is that to you?"
A third person interrupted.
"I've already inquired about it. Ugetsu Express provides door-to-door delivery service for the items purchased at Sea Paradise and the Chunin Exams, so there is no need to worry about whether to bring them or not."
The tall and beautiful sister raised her head.
"It doesn't matter if I can't get the money. I won't come back until I've spent all the money!"
Pearls, corals... full body care, here I come!
"good!"
"light and spacious!"
This is what I said
Not only were the spies confused, even the escorting ninjas couldn't help but speak.
"That's not the case... We still have to save some money."
That's right!
This is the normal reaction.
The spy who was listening nearby nodded vigorously.
He never expected that the 'common sense person' who stood up at this time would be the ninja in charge of the escort work.
The spy even chimed in:
"There are still so many expensive things in tourist places. Isn't this ruining everyone's fun experience?"
He thought that since he had spoken so bluntly, these people should have calmed down by now, right?
As long as these people don't spend any money, then his purpose will be achieved.
However, the tourists ignored his "kind reminder".
The eldest brother who spoke earlier even waved his hand.
"You don't understand."
Ninja:?
spy:?
I just don't understand this.
Those who had not joined the conversation at the beginning also joined in, and heard him speak confidently:
"This is a joint event between the Ugetsu Store and the Ninja Village. It only happens once a year, right?"
“…Is that so?”
The ninja responded dryly.
After all, it's the Chunin Exam, and no one will hold it every month.
Not to mention whether the ninja village can hold on, even the ninjas can’t bear it.
"That's fine, it only happens once a year, so we should support it even more. What if they don't hold it because there's no profit?"
Escorting Ninja: ...?
"That's right."
The beautiful sister who declared that she would spend all the money also agreed.
"Besides, the money spent on Yuyue Store and its cooperative projects can be accumulated. When the amount accumulates to a certain level, you can also participate in the lottery."
You can enjoy shopping and accumulate points to participate in a lottery.
Isn’t this double the gain and double the happiness?
And the higher the accumulated amount, the better the items you can draw.
It's money that has to be spent anyway, so isn't this a huge profit for them?
"Yes, if you are lucky you can get a full gift."
“It’s a great deal.”
Okay, that seems to make some sense.
It all costs money, you can get two things for one cent...
The spy's expression was dull.
He was lost amidst the voices of 'that's right', 'that's how it is', and 'that makes sense' around him.
He also felt that this thing seemed to be a good deal.
Since we all spend money, of course it would be happier to get twice as much for the money.
The spy swallowed.
——How about I buy some too?
Since we are all spending money, of course we should give the one that is more cost-effective.
The spy bowed his head.
If you think about it carefully, the boss sent him here to cause trouble.
But in the current situation, it is obviously impossible to do anything.
In the current harmonious atmosphere, if he went up to cause trouble, he might get beaten up and thrown aside.
How miserable it was, he was in pain and couldn't complete the work his boss asked him to do.
So we have to outsmart it!
When he got there, he spent money.
Only by integrating yourself into it and experiencing it personally can you know yourself and your enemy and win every battle!
Besides, as long as he buys the things first, then others won’t have anything to buy, right?
The spy thought about what usually happened in the store.
If someone buys more at once, those who come later will not be able to buy any.
Then the guests will get angry.
——As long as he buys first and those who come after him cannot buy, wouldn’t that serve the purpose of irritating the customers?
Then it will be Yuyue Store that suffers the loss.
The spy was convinced by his own logic.
It's just perfect!!
