On the compatibility of the Uzumaki clan and the Sharingan

Takikuni is not far from Konoha, and the two men were very fast, so they got the intelligence scroll on the same day. However, what surprised Feitao was that she met Sang Ma near the intelligence point.

In the previous mission, her brass knuckles were broken by He Ma, and she wanted to ask Sang Ma if he could customize a pair for her. "That's probably the situation."

Sang Ma still looked helpless. He blew out a smoke ring and asked, "How do you use brass knuckles?"

"Just the same punches as before."

Sang Ma saw through Fei Tao's problem at a glance. He had a hunch back then, and now he could only say that he had guessed it all correctly. "But if you can't touch and tear the wound, you can't cause damage. If the opponent notices that you are fighting in close combat, you won't have a chance to get close. If you use brass knuckles, you can't cast a seal, right?"

"Yes." Fei Tao had already discovered these problems in the previous battles. Senior Asuma's wind blade was of the same type as his own boxing, but his damage level and range were higher, and he did not need to engage in close combat to inflict damage.

She was also very confused now. She... really didn't know how to catch up with Itachi.

"So-called weapons are just tools. You rely too much on the damage caused by brass knuckles. This is putting the cart before the horse. I will not order new brass knuckles for you, Ms. Namikaze," Sang Ma called Lianshou, who was still talking to Itachi in the distance, over, "You need to find your direction. Being too confused and anxious is very dangerous for you. I also have to catch the car, so I'll leave first."

Lian Shou then came over with his luggage, his face full of smiles. The brother was quite nice and even told him a story. "Master, are we going back now?"

"correct."

"Oh oh oh."

Is he too dependent on the brass knuckles? Is he without direction? Fei Tao was silent. Yes, Sang Ma was right. Itachi's growth scared her. She felt like she was left behind, or that she had never really touched him. Obviously, at the beginning, everyone was on the same starting line.

Fei Tao took out the brass knuckles that were broken by He Ma. Perhaps, it was time for a change.

Itachi didn't know what Feitao talked about with that Sang Ma, but he could feel that Feitao seemed to have calmed down, which was good, and he could feel more at ease.

"Ah, I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Fei Tao seemed to suddenly remember something and grabbed Itachi's hand and walked down the stairs in front. The cool breeze from the alley blew towards them, and Itachi could clearly smell the faint fruity fragrance on Fei Tao's body. For some reason, a warm feeling slowly rose to his cheeks.

"I lived here with the old man for a while before. He took me to eat there. I thought it was quite delicious. Although it doesn't quite suit my taste, I should be able to eat it again in the next two days."

Itachi was a little curious, "What is it?" But no matter what it was, since Feitao said so, he would definitely like it.

Fei Tao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Anyway, you will definitely like it with your taste." She still knew Itachi very well, although their tastes were completely different.

The sugared lotus roots of Taki Country are still very famous in the five major countries, and the sugared lotus roots of Taki Country are best in Mingshan Village. The lotus roots here are very strange. Only those from July to September are the best. In fact, the lotus roots in general do not seem to be the most delicious in this season. Feitao doesn’t quite understand it, maybe it’s a local variety.

Following her memory, Feitao quickly found the store under the cherry trees. The cherry trees were very lush in this season, and the green leaves were rustling. Feitao and Itachi could smell a faint sweet scent before they arrived.

"Uncle, I want a portion of candied lotus root!" Fei Tao said loudly. She didn't know if it was available at this time. Usually, the candied lotus root depended on its freshness.

The uncle took out a piece of lotus root from the steamer with a smile, "What a coincidence, little girl. Normally, it should be out of stock, but we just happened to get some extra today so there are some left."

"Thank you, uncle." Fei Tao took out the money and handed it to the uncle. The uncle put the money in the drawer and took out a knife to cut the lotus root into small pieces and put them in the lotus leaves. "Come again next time."

"Thank you, uncle." Fei Tao took the lotus leaf and turned to Itachi and said, "The candied lotus root here is super delicious, but I think I get sick of it after two bites. Don't you like sweet food very much? Come on, try it." Fei Tao let go of Itachi's hand, picked up a toothpick, poked a piece of lotus root and handed it to Itachi's mouth.

Itachi could smell the sweetness of the candied lotus root. He opened his mouth and took a tentative bite. It was very sweet. It tasted like the sweet glutinous rice and the unique fragrance of lotus root. "Hmm, it's delicious." It's better to say that he liked the taste at the first bite. It was very sweet but very fresh.

Feitao knew his taste. Even though she didn't like it very much, Itachi always had an illusion that he was the one favored by Feitao at this moment. "Thank you."

"You," Fei Tao put her arms around his neck, "you're always like this. You don't need to say thank you or anything like that. Here, I'm giving it to you. Eat it quickly, or it will get cold and hard and won't taste good at all."

"Yeah." Itachi took the lotus root and started eating it by himself. The two of them slowly left the village. As the night deepened, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

"How does Feitao feel about Captain Kakashi?" Itachi asked this out of the blue. Now was obviously not the time to care about these things, but he couldn't help but ask.

What about Hatake-san? From the past to the present, "Maybe we are family. We have similar experiences, although I am not a direct participant... After Obito and Lin left, he chose a person. Maybe he wanted to die but couldn't bear to. I didn't want him to be alone like that. Maybe this is also their idea, so I must accompany him and save him from loneliness."

His family... accompanied him...

What about me? Itachi did not ask the next question, but continued to eat the candied lotus root in his hand, which was already a little cold. It was hard, had no sweetness at all, and was inexplicably bitter.

Without saying it out loud, Fei Tao asked herself in her heart, if Kakashi is a family member, then what is Itachi? Is he also a family member? Or is he a close friend? She always felt that it was too shallow, and close friends might not be enough to describe this feeling, but she still chose to ignore the slightest feeling in her heart.
