Douluo's Uchiha itachi

Chapter 163 Birthday Present
It has also been a week since Yan Lingji repelled the wolves, and at this time Itachi is also on the way back to Xinzheng!
At this time, the bright moon is in the sky, but at the gate of Xinzheng, there is a man and a woman. The man has rare light blue long hair, while the woman has flowing purple hair, which looks very cute. The only problem may be... It's the veil on her face, people can't help but lift the veil on her face!

"Ah! Look, it's Itachi-sama!"

A soldier guarding the gate seemed to have spotted Itachi and hurriedly saluted.

"See Mr. Itachi"

"Master Itachi, Chitose!"

...............................

From the fanatical gazes of these gatekeepers, we can see their admiration and fanaticism for Itachi.This is enough for them to boast for a lifetime, but I am the one who opened the city gate for Mr. Itachi!

"Dad, they seem to like you very much!"

Itachi looked at the expressionless Young Commander, and nodded as well!
Perhaps Itachi's ride was fast, and the two of them returned to the meditation hall very quickly.

"Crack!" Itachi gently pushed open the door of his room.

"Hey, why are you in my room? ~~ Why are you huddling in my kotatsu? Yan." Itachi saw Yan Lingji huddled in his kotatsu.

"Ah, Lala, Itachi, you're not here anyway, so it doesn't matter if I come here! And who is that woman behind you?" Yan Lingji asked Itachi in turn.

"Hey, sister, hello, I'm father's child." Shao Si Ming took the initiative to say at this time.

"Father?" Although Yan Lingji had heard about this matter from Xue Nu, she really couldn't bear it!
"Don't you make it clear?" Yan Lingji dragged her hands to her chin!

"Actually..." Itachi also took a lot of effort to explain clearly.

Perhaps only Yan Lingji dared to talk to Itachi like this, of course, it can also be seen that the relationship between the two is very good!
"That's it", Yan Lingji finally felt relieved, but then she looked at Shao Siming slyly, "Oh, Shao Shao, you want to call me Mrs. Mother, do you understand?"

"do not want!"

"Oh! why?"

"You're not much older than me!"

...............................

"Oh? Forget it!" Yan Lingji looked at Shao Siming with beautiful eyes, as if she was very disappointed with Shao Siming's answer!
Itachi watched the conversation between the two with a slight frown.

"You can really talk! Come on, get out of my kotatsu!"

Itachi stepped forward and grabbed Yan Lingji's slender hand.

"Oh, Itachi? You came just in time, do you want to come in and keep warm together?"

Yan Lingji seemed to not care about Itachi's rudeness at all, and responded in a brisk tone as if she didn't care at all about her rudeness.

The ferret on the other end frowned, his expression becoming more and more unhappy.

"Aren't you still willing to come out?"

"Looking at you like this, I really forgot. You promised me!"

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"snort--"

"It hurts! It hurts! Don't drill me suddenly."

"Hmph! Waste, talk, stop talking!"

【Homo, you, you bastard! ! 】

"Hmph! Who cares about you?"

"Wait a minute! It really hurts! It hurts!"

"Father, the two of you... have a really good relationship."

On the side, Shao Si Ming looked at Itachi and Yan Lingji expressionlessly.

"Huh? No, little boy! Why do you feel that way when you see us like this!?"

"Yes, yes! Young master! Is there something wrong with your eyes!?"

"Well, my feeling!..."

Shao Siming lowered his head, looked at the two of them again, and after a while said softly:

"No matter how you look at it, it can only be seen as a harmonious relationship!"

"Are your eyes really alright!? Young Master."

"I don't know, it's just a feeling. Homura-san"

Shao Siming still said softly.

The evidence is that Itachi seems reluctant at first glance, but he also feels a little happy.The only ones who don't understand the truth are themselves. In the eyes of onlookers, the two of them are simply selling dog meat with sheep's tricks!
It would be too incomprehensible to interrupt or stop them from playing.As an obedient child, he should not disturb his father.

"~~! Ah, really, I'm bored. I'll let you off this time." Yan Lingji's face was also reddish!

Seemingly unable to bear Shao Siming's serious gaze, Yan Lingji let go of her hands after finishing her speech.

Itachi said lightly:
"You...how did I provoke you?"

"...Who said you're going to make me a birthday present today?"

"Huh!?...Ah! Is it today...!?"

"That's right! They've been waiting for you since morning, but you didn't come back to fulfill your promise all day (●°u°●)"! "

"Woo! Yes, I'm sorry."

After listening, Itachi said slightly apologetically.

Although he did encounter some minor problems in Qin, the fact of breaching the contract remained unchanged. Itachi would not hide his faults, only villains would do those things.

And Yan Lingji has been waiting here for a whole day, to be honest he feels very sorry!
"Huh? Dad, what kind of gift..."

Shao Siming asked suspiciously.

Then let's go!Yan Lingji didn't seem to care whether it was cold outside, she dragged Itachi and walked into the workshop.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing!?"

Don't be so excited!In fact, the gift I gave was not that high-rise!

.......................................

"Hey, thank you for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Even though the security around the Jingxin Hall is so strict, Itachi and Yan Lingji can still pass the level directly by relying on their faces.

Isn't that normal?Itachi is the supreme commander here!
"Huh? Why is it so quiet today?"

Itachi asked suspiciously as he walked along the corridor.

Yan Lingji shrugged dumbfoundedly:

"Of course, who will work in the workshop at night!"

Ah~~ So it is true.

"I'm so sorry for making you wait all day."

"It's okay, really. And I know, you have no choice but to go to Qin!"

After hearing Itachi's sincere apology, Yan Lingji raised the corners of her mouth, revealing her small canine teeth.

It seems that Yan Lingji has forgotten Itachi's breach of contract, and those hours of boring and lonely waiting.

"Hey, what gift do you want to give me? And then? Why do you want someone to come to the workshop?"

"Oh, this? I was wondering, isn't a gift made together more worth cherishing?"

"...Oh, that's it! This answer is really surprising!"

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've done this kind of thing, and I don't know if it will be successful."

"Father, it's fine!"

"is it?"

While talking, Itachi skillfully inserted the shovel into the small black stone pile.

Then he shoveled up a small pile of stones and threw them into the blazing brick furnace.

This approach is different from what people here do, because Itachi learned from the only master craftsman on the Douluo Continent——Haotian Mianxia, ​​who is also his father!
Maybe it's because it's winter now, and the hot wind blowing on my face makes me feel very comfortable.

By the way, the workshop they are using now has four thick pillars as the pillars, and the four sides are sealed with wooden boards as the walls.The wooden walls are detachable, currently there are two directions of wooden boards that have been removed, so the ventilation effect is very good.

The workshop was surrounded by city walls, so the ventilation was definitely not good.It's winter now, so it doesn't feel bad, but it should be too hot in summer.

Bang bang bang bang!

“…………”

Yan Lingji stood beside Itachi, observing the flame color of the other stove while stepping on the bellows.

"Ah, ah, why do you give me a gift, and I still have to do it!"

"You will know the joy of forging later."

Itachi heated the furnace used for processing glass, and Yan Lingji took care of the melting furnace used for melting glass—the crucible.

That's right, Itachi just wanted to make a glass ball for Yan Lingji, but, the shape must be what Yan Lingji likes!

To make high-quality glassware, the glass must be melted for a long time at a high temperature of [-] degrees.And with Itachi, a master of fire control, this is not a problem!
"Hey, Itachi, my body has become less flexible. As expected, I still need to move my body from time to time."

Yan Lingji said in a brisk tone.

In fact, although Yan Lingji did it for the first time, she did it very well.

Itachi was silent.

The atmosphere was silent.

"Oh~..."

Yan Lingji wiped the sweat from her face, and sighed unsure of what to do, hum, doesn't Itachi know how to talk?
Since entering the workshop, Itachi has always been like this, with a sullen face, without saying a word, obviously she has ten thousand words to say to him.

Shao Siming looked at Itachi intently without blinking his eyes!
Thanks to this, the current atmosphere makes Yan Lingji feel helpless!

Yan Lingji glanced at Shao Siming, and said softly, "Young Shao, you can't do anything here, why don't you go back first! It's boring here!"

"No, if I leave, Dad will disappear again!" Shao Si Ming shook his head.

Yan Lingji didn't feel much after hearing it, but Itachi was different, he could feel the worry in Shao Si Ming's heart, and what happened to her as a child filled her with fear.

"Small, I will not disappear, I will always be by your side."

"En!" Shao Si Ming nodded heavily!
"Cut!" Hearing these words for some reason, Yan Lingji felt very uncomfortable, turned her head away, and stopped talking to Itachi.

However, Itachi still didn't understand what Yan Lingji was angry about.

He believes that of course one must sincerely thank those who have taken care of him.This is the basic principle of being a human being.And Yan Lingji herself is also a very affectionate person.

So Itachi was very, very confused.

In fact, what he didn't understand was the part that made Yan Lingji the most unhappy, but she couldn't directly get angry.

Even so, it is impossible to create in such an atmosphere.

When it comes to creation, the finished product always honestly reflects the author's state of mind at the time.

Itachi doesn't want to give the things created in this dead atmosphere to Yan Lingji who usually takes good care of herself!
"flame."

He made up his mind and spoke to Yan Lingji.

"...What are you doing?"

If you are directly named, there is no way to continue to ignore it.Yan Lingji stopped stepping on the bellows, picked up the shovel instead and said.

"Well, although I don't know what you are angry about, I really want to give you a sincere gift!"

"Ah la la, you're only good at talking, how are you going to calm down?"

"Sand!" With a sound, Yan Lingji stabbed the shovel into the small black stone pile.That action seemed to reveal her current mood, which looked a little scary.

However, whether or not the glass workmanship can be done well depends entirely on the mood of the lady.Can't give up on this.

"It is my fault."

"Humph!"

Seeing Itachi bowed her head again to apologize, Yan Lingji turned her head aside.Let go of the shovel, "Hey, but I forgive you!"

it is as expected.

Itachi thought to himself: In fact, Homura also felt that it was time to reconcile, but he missed the opportunity, so he didn't have the chance to say it.That's it.Still as thin-skinned as ever!
However, he completely misunderstood Yan Lingji's thoughts.

"A sincere gift? What will it look like? I'm looking forward to it!"

Itachi looked down at the stove at this time, wondering what he was thinking!
From a bystander's point of view, it's a bit scary.

However, people who make utensils usually have this kind of habit.

The same goes for Itachi's father, that Haotian Mianxia.

Once an epoch-making idea suddenly arrives, it will plunge headlong into the middle world.At a time like this, you can't talk to them casually, and it's good for each other to leave the other party alone.

Yan Lingji looked at Itachi tenderly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Itachi suddenly raised his head, and seemed to have sorted out his thoughts.

Itachi moved his hand that had stopped, and threw the small black stone into the glass stove to burn.

"Hey—don't tell me your ideas. Well, that's the kind of person he is anyway."

Yan Lingji complained in a low voice unhappily.Seems to be looking forward to Itachi's conversation.

"Homo, what do you like?"

"Huh!? What did you just say!?"

Yan Lingji was already disheartened because of repeated disappointments, so this sentence was an assault that she launched completely without psychological preparation.Yan Lingji turned her head and asked in surprise.

Line of sight, right on.

Her expression is both surprised and somewhat expectant, which is adorable!

After coming to the workshop, Itachi's eyes fluctuated for the first time——

"I, as expected, I still like birds! I can fly freely in the sky. Huh!"

——Yan Lingji was hit by the rain of black stones flying over, and she groaned in pain.

It is only natural for Yan Lingji, who is focusing on Itachi, to have such a result.

"It hurts—it's bruised."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Homura, are you alright?"

Itachi apologized slightly guilty, while Yan Lingji waved her hand casually.

"It's okay, it's okay, even a horse stumbles sometimes, and it's because of my own inattention!"

"Okay. Hmm—just wait a little longer—"

Itachi watched the flames in the furnace for processing glass, and stepped on the bellows to send air in.

His serious eyes made Yan Lingji's heart beat violently involuntarily.Compared with the glamorous posture, Yan Lingji's serious work looks more attractive.

"Itachi! Didn't you say you wanted me to join in, why did you ask me to bring a pen and paper?"

Yan Lingji didn't understand why Itachi called herself to the table by the door. Although there was no need to do anything, it was far away from the stove, and the cold wind would still feel a bit chilly.

"If you haven't decided what to do, how do you start? You draw what you want!"

"Oh~~..."

That is to say, it is impossible for Yan Lingji to make things without the help of Itachi.It is indeed necessary to let Itachi, the guide, know what shape he is going to make.

"Imagine exactly what you want to make and draw it on paper."

"okay!"

Thinking of this, Yan Lingji gently picked up the pen and sketched on the paper.It's strange to say that when I think of Itachi, the pen that I usually don't listen to in my hand now gently outlines it on the paper as if it understands my own thoughts.Once the outline is drawn, further drawing begins.Yan Lingji thought of the little bird in her heart, and while she was painting, she didn't feel that she was painting, but she was pouring out her thoughts to a best friend.The love for oneself has been integrated into the painting stroke by stroke.

"This is to add a little feathers"

Yan Lingji frowned and thought hard.

Not long after, Yan Lingji raised the corner of her mouth slightly:
"Itachi, how about this? This is called a wind ring. If the part of the stick below is blown by the wind... it will make a crisp sound."

Thinking of Feng Qian, Itachi clenched his fists involuntarily.Although Fengqian was originally a prop to add summer style, Itachi felt that the transparent tone and Yan Lingji were very suitable!Just imagine, when Qianqian walked, there was a ringing sound on Qianqian's calf, what a wonderful scene it was...

But that's not why Itachi clenched his fists. Itachi vaguely remembered that the first gift he gave Sasuke was Feng Ling!
"Hey, Itachi, what's wrong with you, am I very creative?"

"Hey!"

"Uh~~ The wind chime I drew, can you make it?"

"Yeah, no problem. Alright, the fire is in good condition, so let's start."

"This iron pipe is mostly used when blowing glass."

Itachi took out a long tube about the width of a thumb and about the height of Yan Lingji from the bucket filled with water, and handed it to Yan Lingji!

"The thinner side is the part where the air is blown, and the side that has turned completely black is the part where the glass paste is applied and put into the processing furnace."

"Uh-huh."

"Because it's very hot, try to hold it as close to the back as possible."

"it is good."

"The other thing is to keep turning the iron pipe with your fingers."

"Well, is it like this?"

Yan Lingji asked by rotating the iron pipe with her thumb and forefinger.

Itachi glanced at his movements:
"Yes, that's how it feels. Alright, let's go to the cauldron."

Itachi looked directly at the top of the kiln where he had thrown the coke into not long ago, the clay biscuit container filled with glass raw materials--the crucible.Then, took the lead and strode towards the cauldron.

He opened the lid of the cauldron with large black iron tongs.Through the round opening, one can see that the melted glass is emitting an orange luster.

"Okay, you stick that iron pipe in to get the melted glass paste. Just remember to dip and turn it like I said just now."

"understood!"

"That's it, that's it...well, that's about it. Then take the iron pipe to the processing furnace."

"oh oh!"

Yan Lingji drew back the iron pipe curiously, and took the pipe to the processing furnace where she shoveled coke and heated it just now.

"Forgot to spin—"

"what!"

After putting back the lid of the crucible, Itachi reminded.

Itachi's words carried an undeniable tone.

Yan Lingji spun quickly, but under the influence of gravity, the glass paste could not form a beautiful sphere, but drooped softly and deformed.

"Hey, hey, Itachi, what should we do? This shouldn't be a failure, right?"

"It's not a big problem, just give me the tube"

Itachi took the iron pipe in Yan Lingji's hand, turned the pipe while heating it in the processing furnace, and then took the iron pipe
Go to the iron-covered table next to the processing furnace, and roll the glass paste while changing the angle neatly.Afterwards, Itachi repeated the steps of putting it in the furnace for heating and shaping it on the iron plate.

"Look, it's turned into a beautiful ball shape."

"Oh, great"

Yan Lingji said happily, as if she made it herself.

In the eyes of Yan Lingji, Itachi's technique is already extremely proficient!

"The next step is to blow the glass away. Hurry up and blow it down in one breath." Itachi handed the iron pipe to Yan Lingji again!
"Huh~~!"

"No, no, no swelling at all."

"Huh~~~!"

"No, no, just push harder!"

real or fake! ?Yan Lingji couldn't hide her surprise.

She was blowing with all her might.However, as Itachi said, the glass paste did not expand at all.

"You blow too softly!"

"Woo!"

"Here, let me demonstrate to you."

Itachi took the iron pipe away again, and blew a breath in a demonstration.

It doesn't look like it's blowing too hard.

However, the glass paste did swell up.

"Well, that's how it feels."

Itachi put the glass bubble into the processing furnace and rotated it again, said softly.

Yan Lingji's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head away.

"Um?"

"Itachi, is this the legendary indirect, indirect...!" Yan Lingji whispered.

"Uh-huh?"

"No, it's the tube, I used it just now."

Boom boom boom!

Yan Lingji's face turned redder, but Itachi was in a daze, what happened?who I am?where am I?
But because she was right next to the fire, Itachi only thought it was a reflection of the fire.

The flame was burning with a rumbling sound, and it was exactly like this, and Itachi didn't hear what Yan Lingji was muttering just now!
"Pinch, Dad, it seems very fun, can you give me a try?"

"But" Itachi then handed the iron pipe to Shaoshao.

"Huh" I saw that Shao Si Ming's bulging mouth was really cute!
...............................

The current step is to use iron chopsticks and an iron scraper to do the shaping in details. Of course, beginners like Yan Lingji can't do it at all, so Itachi only let Yan Lingji experience it, and then do it all by himself. .

But this part is completely unimportant now, as long as there is a picture drawn by Yan Lingji, itachi can outline it no matter what, and the spinning Gouyu is not for nothing.

"Okay, it's almost there. Yan Lingji, isn't there some black paper over there?"

Itachi turned his head and pointed at something with his chin.

"Oh, is this a stack of several sheets?"

"You spread it out in one hand."

"Uh, it looks wet."

"If it's not wet enough, it will burn you."

Itachi said, putting the red-hot glass paste on the paper.

He rotated the iron pipe with his right hand, while his left hand reached under the palm of Yan Lingji who was holding the paper.

Then, he firmly held Yan Lingji's hand, and adjusted the shape of the glass through his hand.

(How, how!?)
"Ohhh! It seems like a spark flew out just now!"

(Damn it! Didn't notice it at all!)

Forget it, this kind of thing is also expected by Itachi.

Now it is still a warm-up exercise, and the next step is to officially play.

"Okay, wrap the glass again, like this. Hey, Yan Lingji, this time you can use the iron pipe to make it look."

"Uh, uh!? Can I do it too? It seems difficult."

"What makes perfect, you also know this truth."

"Oh, umm, that's true!"

Yan Lingji, who was not very confident at first, nodded vigorously, raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.

Nothing is easy from the start.However, if you don't take the first step, you can't do anything.Itachi is very clear about this.

"Come on, you can do it."

"Okay—I'll do it!"

Yan Lingji smiled and took the iron pipe.

Naturally, Yan Lingji would not refuse the act of being able to make physical contact with Itachi.

"Damn it, this thing!"

Yan Lingji's hands are very skillful, maybe it should be said that she is very talented, but she deliberately showed that she was bad, so that Itachi taught her hand in hand, that was really great! (><)
Yan Lingji seems to be very focused, but she deftly staggers the direction of her fingers slightly, and the shape of the glass is gradually crooked, which is self-evident.

"I-I'm going to do this."

Sure enough, as Yan Lingji expected, although Itachi was very smart in other things, he couldn't see clearly when this happened. Itachi held Yan Lingji's iron pipe tightly and showed her the drill.

Through Yan Lingji's back, wrap her hands to the front.

Just like that, it was almost like hugging Yan Lingji, making Yan Lingji's heart beating thumpingly.

"Like, like this? Woooooo! It's so difficult. Woo!" Yan Lingji continued to pretend she couldn't.

Itachi focused on adjusting the glass with an extremely serious expression.

It seemed that the touch on his back was completely excluded from his consciousness.He is just teaching himself seriously now, completely unaware that he is holding himself!The plan was a big success!Yan Lingji secretly rejoiced.

"It hurts! Why are you doing this all of a sudden!?"

Yan Lingji, who came back to her senses, complained, but Itachi completely ignored him.

How can you do it well?

.......................................

"Great! It's done!"

Yan Lingji raised her hands to the sky and said excitedly.

This small bird wind seal is made of dark blue glass with cobalt added, and the surface is sprinkled with silver powder.

The inside of the thin glass rods made separately is hollow, and the technique used is from the past - the left and right halves of the glass are glued together so that a cavity appears in the middle - the application of this glass bead production method.

The gold powder and silver powder sprinkled on the glass are extremely valuable things in the whole country, but Itachi thinks it is very worthwhile, after all, no matter how valuable it is, it is not as valuable as a friend.

"Itachi, isn't this little bird wind chime made really well? It's beautiful, I like it very much! Thank you!"

"Of course, you did a lot of it yourself. It's a work we did together. Of course it's great!"

"Woo! That's true. In this way, it will be like our child..., cough, um, anyway, I will always cherish it!" Yan Lingji held herself and Itachi together. wind chimes.

"As long as you like it!"

Itachi didn't pay much attention to Yan Lingji's actions.

Instead, he turned around and returned to the stove, and started making again.

Since itachi made it by himself, the speed was much faster, and soon itachi finished one thing.

"Hey, Shao Shao, you follow me, I haven't given you any presents yet! Then this is for you!"

In his hand was a glass bead.

But the shape is not an ordinary sphere, should it be said to be like a firefly seen at night?There is something like a tail in shape.

The beads themselves are transparent, but many impurities are deliberately mixed in them, so that they can display various colors in sunlight.

"This is called Gouyu, basically I made it. For me, this is like a talisman. It is my pride. Now I give it to you, and it will always be by your side just like me. "

"Well, thank you Dad!" Shao Shao, who had been expressionless all the time, shed tears.

"Okay, there's nothing to cry about. Your face is disfigured from crying. It doesn't look good. Come on, I'm wearing a rope, so I can hang it around my neck."

Itachi then seriously pointed to the hole on the larger end of the Gouyu with the finger of the other hand.It was made by poking a thin iron rod wrapped with blades of grass into the glass while it was still hot.

"Like it?"

"I like it!" Shao Si Ming nodded heavily.

....................................

"Hey, I said Itachi, shouldn't you pay attention to my existence? You are too kind to Shao Shao!"

Itachi turned his head and looked at Yan Lingji, wondering if it was an illusion, he felt that Yan Lingji's hair seemed to stand on end, what's going on?
