Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

Since the last time he learned the changes in chakra attribute properties under his father's guidance, Mizuma has been practicing chakra transformation recently, and has been able to make preliminary applications of some attribute chakra, such as accumulating water attribute chakra and releasing the water body.

In the early morning, Minama got up, said goodbye to his parents after breakfast, and left home amidst their parents' instructions.

He speeded up and ran quickly along Konoha. After running a few laps, he came to the Hokage Rock to rest temporarily.You can see the entire Konoha Village from above.

It has been almost 50 years since Konoha was established. It is said to be a village, but in fact it is more like a city. According to the data that Minama knows, the permanent population of Konoha is close to more than 50, which is even more than the population of some small countries.

In a family, the father's words and deeds on his son still have a great influence on his thoughts and character.

Take Minama as an example. I had only visited Minato a few times before, and occasionally listened to him talk about the history of Konoha's village establishment, so I developed such a habit.

With the beginning of a new day, the whole village began to get excited and noisy. The Third Ninja War was generally over. The most tense period was over, and the village gradually returned to its former prosperity.

The view here is excellent, and Minama can even use his excellent eyesight to see the scene of housewives going out to buy food and bargaining with vendors below.

You can occasionally see parents going out together here, maybe this is why I like to come here.

After resting, Minama walked slowly along the top of the mountain towards the back mountain of Konoha. As he was approaching, he suddenly saw a familiar and long-lost voice.

I saw the figure holding two kunai and jumping down. Minazama hurried forward to check, feeling slightly anxious inside.

The figure quickly slid down with its back to the ground, facing the top of the mountain. At one point, it suddenly turned around and inserted the kunai into the rock wall. It placed its legs in the triangle formed by the kunai and its hands, slowed down its speed and finally landed smoothly.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Mizama's face, and he also jumped down. His instinctive movements were completed in one go, and finally he landed smoothly.

"Itachi, long time no see. I never heard from Aunt Mikoto that you were back. Why didn't you come back to find me?" Minama asked slightly reproachfully, but more in a happy tone.

"Ah, Minama. Kirigakure has completely retreated, so I came back with my father and other clan members. I just got home last night," Itachi said calmly and with some joy.

"It must have been very hard for you over the past year or so, Fugaku-senpai," Mizama complained.

"Ah. I don't blame father. It's because I didn't do enough. It's because I'm too weak. Mizama, try to become stronger." Itachi suddenly said a little sadly, not sure if he remembered something.

"We don't always get stronger. I have learned a lot of things. Come on, let's learn from each other, Itachi." Mizama saw a little sadness in Itachi's eyes, so he suggested.

After that, without any nonsense, he took out his kunai, jumped a distance, and assumed a standard fighting posture.

"Then I'll give you some advice, Mizama."

Minazama carried chakra with both feet and rushed towards Itachi very quickly. Itachi prepared a corresponding defensive posture. When he was about to make contact, he suddenly changed direction and ducked behind Itachi. The kunai did not hit Itachi. Itachi reacted Also quickly, he turned around and the two kunai collided.

Both of them moved backwards.

Then the two sides collided again. In the purely physical collision, Minazama felt that he did not have the upper hand. Although he also learned some physical skills, he was not as good as Itachi, so he stepped back and dodged again.

In the brief exchange just now, his strengths were speed and strength, while Itachi's strengths were his reflexes and physical skills experience. At first glance, it looked like he had been trained hard and had the demeanor of a famous family.

Mizurama could only rely on his own speed to swim, and Itachi did not attack. He just stayed on guard and passively neutralized Mizurama's attack.

"No fight, you are really boring, you are like this every time. I still can't beat you now," Mizama said after a few more rounds.

"Not necessarily. You have far more chakra than me, and your physical strength is better than mine. If the fight continues, I will definitely fall first if you don't use your ultimate move."

"But you should practice more taijutsu and swordsmanship. Don't always think about practicing ninjutsu. Otherwise, once the chakra is exhausted, you may be doomed, Minama" Itachi said with advice.

"Ah, I understand, Itachi, tell me what happened on the battlefield."

"Actually, there is nothing worth saying. I really hope that you will never have to go to the battlefield, but this is impossible, because sooner or later we will all become ninjas."

Shuijian couldn't help but wonder, "Itachi, what on earth has he experienced?"

Before Minazama could ask again, Itachi changed the topic by starting to practice.

In the following training, Mizama formed the "ren" seal on his hands and separated several shadow clones, allowing them to find a place to master the changes in the properties of earth, water, and thunder chakra. He and Itachi began to practice the hand skills together. Swordsmanship.

I have to say that there is a reason why the Uchiha family's shuriken skills are famous in the ninja world.

I saw several targets placed in different directions on the tree in front of me, some even behind the tree.

Itachi jumped up high, turned around and threw several shurikens. When he landed, he picked up four more shurikens and threw them out. The shurikens behind him collided with the shurikens in front of him, changing the direction of the shurikens. Finally, all the shurikens were gone. Hit the bullseye.

The shuriken was like a finger in Itachi's hand, and with this hand alone, Minazama couldn't compare.

Itachi then began to explain the throwing techniques of shuriken jutsu, and while he was talking, he gave Minama a demonstration to make it easier to understand.

. . . . . . .

When it was time to have lunch, Minama released the shadow clone technique, received the training progress from the shadow clone, and walked home with Itachi.

"Mizama, I won't be coming this afternoon or tomorrow. There are some matters in the clan that my father wants me to deal with with him," Itachi said suddenly.

"Did something happen?"

"Well, a family elder has passed away. In fact, you also know her. It's Grandma Chun."

"Is it because of Brother Obito?" Minama also said seriously, and he couldn't help but think of the kind old woman in his mind.

"Well, my father said that Grandma Haru's life was actually not easy. When she was young, her husband died in the First Ninja War, and her son and daughter-in-law later also died in the Second Ninja War. As a result, this time even the only Grandson too..."

"No one dared to tell her the news before, but she finally found out recently. Her only spiritual support is gone. She passed away yesterday due to excessive sadness."

"Ah, it's all because of this war."

"Well, you know, on the Kirigakure battlefield, I have seen a lot of killings between ninjas from both sides. Both sides were fighting to the death, with the sole purpose of killing each other.

That is completely different from the discussion between us. In that case, people are like wild beasts, irrational. In fact, the two parties do not know each other at all, and there may not be much hatred.Many tribesmen and comrades in the village died in this way."

"Honestly, I hate war and this kind of life. Ninjas shouldn't be like this. But I don't dare to tell my father. I'm afraid that my father will be disappointed, reprimand me for my weakness, and reprimand me for not being worthy of being an Uchiha."

"No, Itachi. You have always been my best friend in my eyes. You are a gentle, kind and reliable companion. You have more outstanding ninja talents than me. You will definitely become a great ninja in the future."

"This is not your fault, it is the fault of this world, and the fault of those adults. There may be a chance to end this world in the future, but there is nothing we can do now. We just need to stick to our true intentions and protect the right people. Someone important to you."

"The purpose of ninja is to protect the people important to you, and you must not let them get hurt."

"Recently, I have been confused about what is war, what is ninja, what is bond, and what is village"

Itachi's last question was destined to not be answered for the time being. Both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts, so they went home.
