Uchiha Fire Demon - Chapter 13
Chapter 13 Itachi and Izumi
Itachi walked aimlessly on the street.
His eyes showed confusion.
Itachi has performed very well since he was a child. He grew up surrounded by praise from his tribe. Even Fugaku was very satisfied with him.
But in just one or two days.
Blaze’s performance far surpassed him in terms of thinking, vision and fighting talent.
This deeply impacted Itachi, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, and caused him to feel an inexplicable sense of frustration.
Maybe he is far from worthy of the title of Uchiha genius?
“hehe…”
Itachi’s eyes were dull and he was walking in despair.
this moment.
He seemed to have no direction.
I can’t find myself either.
while walking.
Itachi came to the lake in the clan.
He remembers.
His father had practiced the “Fire Release and Fireball Technique” with him here before.
Because he learned it after watching it once, he was praised by his father, “You are indeed my son.”
It seems like it was all yesterday.
Follow the wooden ladder in the lake.
Itachi walked out slowly and then sat down.
The breeze blows.
Brings cooling comfort.
I don’t know how long I sat there.
A sweet voice suddenly came from behind Itachi.
“Itachi-kun, long time no see.”
What caught his eye was a girl with a cute face wearing a purple top.
She has waist-length black hair and a mole at the corner of her eye, which adds a bit of cuteness to her.
“It turns out to be Izumi.” Itachi said slightly when he saw the girl.
On the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Itachi rescued the panicked Izumi Uchiha, and the two had a trace of contact from then on.
Itachi is usually busy training.
It is difficult for two people to meet even if they are from the same family.
Seeing Itachi’s bad mood, Izumi pursed his lips, then showed a big smile and said.
“Itachi-kun, you seem to be in a bad mood. If you are unhappy about something, it will make you feel better if you tell it.”
“I’m keeping my mouth shut and I promise I won’t tell anyone!” Izumi made a gesture of covering his mouth.
Izumi could tell that Itachi was in a bad mood, so she planned to comfort him.
“No.” Itachi shook his head slightly in denial.
Itachi is a person who blocks his emotions and never deliberately reveals his thoughts.
Just like later, even if he died, Itachi had to bear the infamy for keeping Konoha’s secret.
“Okay.” Itachi’s answer made Izumi slightly discouraged. The former’s character was still a little weird and it was difficult to open his heart easily.
Izumi took out a box from the green bag, which contained several strings of three-color dumplings.
“This is my mother’s favorite three-color dumpling. She said eating sweets will make her happy when she is unhappy.”
“Itachi-kun, do you want to try the three-color dumplings?”
Izumi handed a bunch of three-color dumplings to Itachi.
“But Itachi is outstanding in physical skills in school and has excellent grades. He is still an elite boy in our Uchiha. He probably doesn’t like sweets!”
“Sorry, I was presumptuous.”
As soon as Izumi handed out the three-color dumplings, she realized that the aloof Itachi might not like these snacks.
She took it back on her own, bit into a dumpling, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
“Delicious!”
Finished one dumpling.
Izumi turned around to find Itachi staring at her.
He swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
After seeing Izumi realize his embarrassment, Itachi pretended to be cold and turned his head away, humming softly.
The tsundere is on full display!
“Does Itachi like to eat three-color dumplings???”
Izumi was also a little confused.
She smiled sarcastically, and then handed a bunch of three-color dumplings to Itachi. The latter hesitated for a moment, then started eating after taking the three-color dumplings, and his frown gradually relaxed.
Itachi muttered under his breath: “It’s delicious!”
No matter how aloof Itachi is in the future.
How inhumane.
At this moment, Itachi was still just a little over six years old.
The two quickly divided and ate several skewers of three-color dumplings.
“Izumi, your three-color dumplings are delicious, thank you!” After eating, Itachi finally showed a smile on his face, as if he was in a better mood after losing today.
“You’re welcome. If Itachi likes it, I can buy more in the future.” Izumi smiled sweetly.
“Yeah, thank you!” Itachi nodded and smiled in gratitude.
“Then we have an agreement!” Izumi also said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the two of them went home.
Itachi had just returned home when he saw Sasuke rushing towards him, “Brother, play with me!”
When he was little, Sasuke was still very clingy to Itachi.
Even more than Fugaku and Mikoto.
“Is Sasuke good today?” Itachi picked up Sasuke and touched his forehead affectionately.
“I had two bowls of rice for lunch today, and mother praised me for being so good.” Little Sasuke stretched out two fingers and told Itachi as if he was taking credit.
“Sasuke is great!” Itachi touched Sasuke’s little head. After receiving the former’s compliment, Sasuke raised his head slightly.
Her round little face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
After playing with Sasuke for a while, Itachi said: “Sasuke, be good. I’ll help mom prepare dinner. You go and play by yourself first.”
“Brother, you just played with me for only a short time.” Sasuke felt aggrieved, as if tears were welling up in his eyes.
“Come here.” After Sasuke came closer, Itachi flicked the former’s little head with his right index finger, “Good boy, you have grown up, be sensible!”
Hearing Itachi say this, Sasuke felt aggrieved, but he didn’t know how to refute, so he had to play ball alone.
Itachi entered the kitchen to help wash and prepare dishes.
Soon night falls.
Fugaku also returned home, and he was careful and discovered something unusual about his son.
The meal was a quiet one.
After meal.
Fugaku called Itachi to the study.
Looking at Itachi who was in a bad mood in front of him, Fugaku sighed slightly.
“You lost to Blaze today. Are you in a bad mood?”
A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Itachi’s mouth, and he shook his head and said: “Blaze is very strong, I am convinced to lose to him.”
Itachi has his own pride.
It would be a lie to say that it wasn’t uncomfortable at the hands of the unknown Blaze.
Fugaku felt that if he didn’t enlighten him, it would greatly affect Itachi’s practice even if he didn’t give up on himself.
“Come here.” Fugaku said.
After Itachi came closer.
Fugaku held him in his arms.
He touched Itachi’s head.
Just like Itachi touched Sasuke.
Fugaku encouraged.
“Itachi, your path has been so smooth since you were a child. Today’s failure may remind you that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. Only by having the courage to face failure can you climb the peak.”
“No matter what happens to you in the future, you and Sasuke will always be my pride.”
Ever since he was a child, Fugaku had been the image of a strict father in Itachi’s heart, and he had never shown any affectionate gestures of hugging him.
Itachi was deeply moved by Fugaku’s actions at this moment, and even the haze of today’s failure was swept away.
“Father, I will work hard!”
Itachi’s eyes gradually showed a determined light!
Itachi swore.
I must make father proud!
this moment.
Itachi found his own direction!
