Chapter 74 Terminal Illness (There will be another chapter tonight)
"Dad! My brother is back!"

As soon as Sasuke entered the house, he shouted excitedly, wishing that even the gecko living in the ceiling knew about it.

"I already know."

Uchiha Itachi heard a long-lost voice coming from the backyard, "Be quiet at home, Sasuke."

"Feel sorry!"

Sasuke clapped his hands to cover his mouth, and then looked at Itachi with some embarrassment. Obviously, this "problem" has been corrected by his father many times.

Itachi just felt that his father's temper seemed to be much better. In the past, it was inevitable that he would give Sasuke some advice.

"I'm behind, you guys come here together."

The brothers looked at each other, and came to the backyard through the terrace of the Japanese room, and saw the back bending over the fish pond at a glance.

Itachi looked slightly taken aback.

I don't know if he read it wrong. Compared with a year ago, I always feel that my father seems to be...

"Brother, do you think Dad has become fat?"

Before Itachi could complete the thoughts in his head, Sasuke had already blurted out his unformed thoughts.

Itachi, who has always been very polite, stood there at a loss, looking at Sasuke with a complicated expression, even a little suspicious.

[Actually, you are brave, right? 】

How can I answer this?
"If you are fat, you will be fat, and there is nothing wrong with it."

After saying something tolerantly, Fuyue finally sprinkled the last handful of fish food and turned around slowly.

Passing over his father's waist, Itachi found to his surprise that not only his father had gained weight, but even the goldfish at home were turning into puffer fish.

My father has the habit of feeding the fish as soon as he thinks about things. It can be seen that he has spent a lot of time by the pond in the past year.

But logically speaking, if a person has a lot of troubles, shouldn't he lose weight quickly?

"Father." Itachi bowed, "I'm back."

Fuyue's eyes were not big at first, but after having a circle of flesh on his face, his eyes looked even smaller, and he looked much smarter than before.

His gaze stayed on the white hair on Itachi's forehead for a moment, and then lingered on the eldest son's face for a while before opening his mouth with emotion.

"It seems that you have figured it out. At least your spirit is much better than when you came back last time. If your mother sees it, she can feel relieved."

Fu Yue clapped his hands, cleaned up the fish food residue, and sat down on the terrace.

"Sasuke, go to the security team and inform Uchiha Inahura and Tiehuo about the distribution of newly graduated clansmen, let those children decide for themselves. I won't discuss with them at night."

"really?"

Sasuke was very familiar with those graduates, so when he heard what his father said, he was naturally happy for them.

Then, without waiting for his father to confirm what he just said, he couldn't wait to disappear in place, "I will definitely bring it!"

Perhaps because of the too many abnormal situations experienced today, Itachi was already somewhat immune, and did not show any surprise.

The sound of the door closing sounded, indicating that Sasuke had left, and Fuyue spoke again.

"The matter of Orochimaru attacking you, let's wait until your mother and Giyuu come back. They must ask. It would be redundant for you to say it again, so I won't ask you now."

Fu Yue tapped on the edge of the terrace with his fingers, signaling Itachi to sit opposite him.

"In the year you were away, Konoha and Uchiha have undergone many changes. I believe you should have discovered it too?"

"Yes, when I just came back, I met a reserve member of the guard on the street."

Itachi nodded approvingly, "It seems that the relationship between the clan and the village has become harmonious."

"To be precise, the relationship between the younger generation of the clan, the younger generation of the village, and ordinary people has become harmonious."

Fu Yue couldn't help sighing when he mentioned this matter, "In today's security team, the ninjas who have graduated in the past two years are the reserve members to deal with the entanglements of the civilians; and the official members are to deal with the conflicts caused by the ninjas. But The latter hasn’t changed much.”

"Are all the Uchiha Genin who graduated in the past two years in the Guard?"

Itachi asked curiously.

"Well, this is the decision of the clan."

Fuyue explained: "According to those children's own ideas, they want to form a team with other ninjas outside the same clan as other graduates in the village.

"At first, we thought it was a conspiracy by the village. It was the third generation who wanted to influence the thoughts of the young people through this means, so we forced them to join the guard and directly serve as reserve members to reduce the influence of the village on them. But who I know... this actually improves the reputation of the whole family in Konoha.

"It was only later that we learned that it wasn't what the village did, but that a very contagious child came to the ninja school."

"Is it the one named Purgatory Xingshourou?"

"Yes. It is said that Tsunade sent it to the village."

"Hmm." Uchiha Itachi paused slightly.

"what happened?"

The change in Itachi's expression couldn't escape Fu Yue's eyes, "Did you see her recently?"

"Well, half a year ago, I met her at the hot spring hotel in Yunokuni, but we didn't say anything."

Itachi didn't seem to want to talk about it, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Go on, I also want to know what kind of child is able to change the attitude of those young people."

"This matter is also very tortuous. Although the three generations did not accept the child as a student, they trained him completely as a successor. Even the Huodun of the Sarutobi clan did not fall behind, and taught him. Praise that child in public as the most powerful fire escape genius since Uchiha Madara."

"Is it a little exaggerated?"

Itachi frowned.

What kind of person is Uchiha Madara, if there is no Senju Hashirama, the five major countries may all be conquered by him.

"The juniors of the same family also have the same idea as you, but after going to the door to compare, they are convinced.

"But that child didn't humiliate them. Instead, he taught all his experience in learning fire escape. He was able to do many principles that even I couldn't explain to them clearly. Sasuke, and what you saw today The reserve members of the guard team have all received his guidance. They have just graduated, but they are not even as good as some Jnin in terms of the change of the nature and form of the fire escape."

"That's it."

Itachi understood a little.

Uchiha is a family that worships the strong to the extreme.

It doesn't count if you are defeated, but you have also received careful guidance from the opponent.

No wonder those graduates today would look up to a foreigner.

It's no wonder that his father didn't bother to check Sasuke's report card. There were such people in the same grade. Even if Sasuke could get the first place, it wasn't really the first place. There was no need to read it.

"In short, they have been with that child for a long time, so they will naturally be influenced by him."

Fuyue let out a long sigh, "The result is that the jonin in the clan and the juniors who have just graduated have completely opposite attitudes towards the village and the foreign clan, and even gaps and rifts have arisen.

"Today, the third batch of children will be graduating, and there are differences among the clan on whether to allow them to join the guard. But I thought about it, it is better to be sparse than to let them have resentment against their elders. Their wishes. After all, no matter the village or the clan, the future belongs to the young people."

At this point, Itachi finally understood the reason why those goldfish got fat.

However, if the clansmen can really get rid of the extreme desire for power and Sharingan from now on, it might not be a bad thing.

For the past three years, he hid in the country of water because Konoha made him feel sad.

But Shisui hid in the country of water with him, because as long as the top Uchiha master is not in Konoha, then Uchiha will not have absolute confidence to rebel, and the village will not be able to risk a lot of secrets being leaked. Uchiha wave first strike first.

If there is a disagreement between the younger generation and the elders of the clan, it can make the clan gradually dispel the idea of ​​revenge on Konoha, and Shisui will be much easier.

Others couldn't see it, but Itachi knew very well how much Zhishui had sacrificed to maintain the peace these years.

"Then what's the matter with your figure?"

Itachi was silent for a while, and changed the topic to something lighter.

"Thanks to Yiyong, in the past two years, I have become more and more idle as the patriarch, and few people come to me to do business. Once I eat and sleep regularly, and exercise less, people will gain weight. Besides, I have been at home for the past two years. The food is not what you can compare outside."

In fact, without Itachi and Shisui, Giyuu could only find his father to brush up the resolution of Moon Breath.

In order to make up for the guilt of "using" his father in his heart, he researched Fuyue's favorite ingredients every day in different ways.

Although Fuyue was vague, Itachi guessed from Fugaku's vaguely smug expression that his father probably "reversely" used Yiyong's unique interpersonal skills to make the clansmen, young and old, dare not run to this house at all. Actually some can't laugh or cry.

After all, saying "Dad says he's not at home" is almost like saying "He doesn't want to see you anymore".

After the father and son chatted a little more, the door of the house rang again.

But since he could hear footsteps, Itachi knew that his mother should be back.

"Father, I'll go first."

Fu Yue nodded, Miqin didn't know that the eldest son had returned.

Sure enough, Itachi had just walked to the corridor leading to the entrance, and the room was immediately filled with Mikoto's surprised voice.

"Itachi!?"

Meiqin didn't change her shoes, she walked to the opposite of the eldest son with moist eyes, and immediately embraced him in her arms.

Confidence in the child's strength is one thing, but the opponent is the legendary Sannin after all, and the letter from the water country is unclear, so how could she not be worried.

Now seeing the eldest son return home intact, the hanging heart finally fell.

Yi Yong, who came back with his mother, stood at the door, wondering if he would be a little unexcited if he changed his shoes before going in.

"I'm sorry, I should have notified you in advance. It's just that the village urgently called us back to explain to us what happened to Orochimaru, so we didn't have time to ask someone to bring a letter to your mother."

Itachi's eye sockets were also slightly moist.

"Mom, what's your mother, let's talk about it when you're an adult." Meiqin said angrily.

"Yes, Mom."

Itachi was a little embarrassed, after all, 14 years old is not young, but he still didn't want to take away his mother's kindness.

"How about it, are you injured? You can't report good things but not bad things about this kind of thing."

Mother looked at Itachi's body and face, "But it seems that your spirit is much better?"

Itachi held back his smile, and was just about to answer the answer he had prepared long ago, but felt a burst of familiar eyes penetrate his body.

He subconsciously looked at Yi Yong, and found that the distance between the other's eyebrows and eyes was suddenly opened, and his lips were squeezed together suddenly, forming a cold straight line!

This is an emotional upheaval for the normally expressionless volunteers.

Itachi understood, and Giyuu saw his physical condition clearly with that unique gaze that Shisui dubbed "white eyes".

Thinking of this, Itachi immediately cast a begging look at him, and shook his head heavily and slowly.

Finally, Miqin's training in ordering Yiyong not to expose others' lies in the past few years is still useful.

He understood Itachi's expression, and simply stood there with a cold face.

"Mom, I rushed all the way back, and I went to see Master Hokage first, and I didn't even have time to change clothes. I must be smelling bad."

Itachi smiled at his mother, "Let me take a shower and change clothes first, when I get down, Sasuke should be back, and then we will talk slowly."

As he said that, he nodded at Yiyong, "Yiyong should have taken the actual combat test today, so let's come together."

"it is good."

Yi Yong agreed.

Under Mikoto's puzzled eyes, with a face like a cold iron shield, he went upstairs with Itachi.

"Why doesn't Giyong look happy at all?"

Miqin looked at the backs of one tall and one short going upstairs, and muttered softly, "Is it because Itachi came back without saying hello? Or I didn't let him buy those few books just now..."

But when it came to the book, her face suddenly turned from doubt to gossip.

She put the "Strong Perseverance and Tolerance" on the shoe cabinet, and immediately walked into the Japanese room.

"Fu Yue, a very interesting thing happened today..."

Meanwhile, on the second floor.

The two brothers didn't mean to undress and take a bath, but sat down together in Itachi's room.

"What's wrong with your body?"

Yiyong got straight to the point and asked on the spot: "Why is your blood color different from before?"

"Sure enough, as Zhishui said, you can see some more essential things. Even with supercilious eyes, you can only see the Chakra meridian, and cannot see through the human body."

Itachi sighed with emotion, his suspicions over the years were finally proven, and the confusion in his heart was finally resolved.

"No wonder you can break through Zhishui's instant body technique."

"Don't change the subject."

Yiyong's expression was as gloomy as an iceberg, almost slamming every word.

Itachi, who was being stared at by him, suddenly felt like he was in a swamp full of water vapor. Without Chakra, it was difficult to even move his body.

It seems that in the past two years, Yi Yong has made greater progress than he imagined.

"I didn't know about this situation myself. It's just that since last year, whenever I use Sharingan, I feel a little cold in my body. At first, it was only caused by the environment of the country of water, so I went to the country of Yuno and tried to use the hot spring to recuperate. Body."

Itachi replied honestly that there is no point in lying in front of Yoshiyuki.

"I met Tsunade-sama there, so I asked her to check it out."

"What's the result?" Yi Yong asked coldly.

"It's a genetic blood-inherited disease. Some people in the clan have had it before, but very few people get it so early."

Itachi rubbed his dry lips with his fingers, and spit out a few more desperate words.

"Master Tsunade can't help it, saying that this disease is an incurable terminal illness..."
