I am the most popular character in Naruto!

No one could tell from his calm and composed demeanor that he was only four years old.

That's genius, a true genius.

In terms of talent, Itachi Uchiha was far superior to Shisui Uchiha, and might even have been superior to Kakashi and Minato.

"Humph."

Kushina snorted and rolled her eyes in annoyance. She reached out and pulled Anko close, then ate dumplings with her.

As a Jinchūriki, she holds a unique position. No one in the Uchiha clan dares to touch this nuclear bomb casually. If she were to explode, they would likely be directly judged as having betrayed Konoha and punished.

Mirai pursed her lips, her gaze fixed on Shisui behind Itachi. She knew very well that it was Shisui who had delivered the final blow to her heart, leaving her on the verge of death.

Uchiha Itachi smiled and turned to Shisui, saying, "Brother Shisui, please greet these ladies. We are all ninjas from Konoha, and we'll see each other all the time, so let's always try to maintain harmony."

"Besides, it was indeed our Uchiha clan that made a mistake before. My mother told me that Lord Chiaki is a magnanimous person and wouldn't hold it against us."

"Greetings, ladies."

Shisui bowed deeply to Chiaki and the other two, then silently stepped back, ignoring their reactions and treating himself as if he were invisible.

Even though he and Itachi Uchiha had a good relationship on ordinary days, he still had to give Itachi face in front of outsiders. After all, Itachi Uchiha was the eldest son of the Uchiha clan, while he was just a bodyguard.

"?"

Chiaki raised an eyebrow, somewhat unsure whether the words he had just heard were Itachi Uchiha's own words or whether Mikoto Uchiha had actually said something to him.

She? Open-minded?

Sorry, that's really not true. Qianqiu is always petty. If anyone messes with her, she will definitely kill that person.

Kushina glanced at Mirai, whose expression was grim. Mirai clearly wouldn't forgive Uchiha Shisui, so Kushina wouldn't show them any further reaction.

"How is Lady Uchiha doing lately?"

“I haven’t seen her for three years. The last time we met was when she was giving birth to you.”

Chiaki generously elevated his seniority, using it to suppress Uchiha Itachi.

She began to probe Itachi's thoughts, wanting to see what he would do.

"Thanks to Lord Qianqiu's care, my mother is in good health. She is currently trying to conceive, and it seems she wants to give me a younger brother."

Uchiha Itachi didn't mind Chiaki raising his seniority; instead, he responded with considerable sincerity and humility.

Chiaki was slightly taken aback when she realized that her little scheme had been ignored, and looked at Itachi with surprise in her eyes.

Is this child really only three or four years old?

She felt like she was talking to an extremely composed man, not a four-year-old child.

Noticing Chiaki's surprise, Itachi smiled slightly. His gaze fell on Anko and Kurenai, and after a moment's thought, he accurately called out their names: "These two are... Mitarashi Anko and Yuhi Kurenai, right?"

"Hello, I am Uchiha Itachi."

"How did you know about us...?"

Kurenai looked at Itachi Uchiha in surprise. Kurenai didn't reply. Her personality was actually quite similar to Kushina's; both of them were the type who dared to love and hate.

She glanced at Itachi Uchiha, completely ignoring his attempts to be friendly.

"You don't need to be too hostile towards me. I'm just a four-year-old child."

Itachi Uchiha nodded and said, "Moreover, I have witnessed too much arrogance in the Uchiha clan, and this arrogance may very well bring misfortune to the Uchiha clan."

"I want to completely change the Uchiha clan. To do that, I must change the Uchiha clan's image in everyone's mind and in Konoha's mind."

As Chiaki and the others watched Itachi Uchiha articulate his dream with clarity and unwavering determination, they felt a strange tension.

Goodness... Is this something a four-year-old could say?

This guy, isn't he some kind of monster?

"Do you truly want to change the Uchiha clan?"

To everyone's surprise, Mirai was the first to speak to Itachi Uchiha.

Uchiha Itachi looked up at her with delight and bowed deeply: "Ms. Kuriyama, I know that the Uchiha clan has caused you a lot of trouble, and I sincerely apologize to you."

"Even though I can't represent the Uchiha clan right now, I'm working hard to grow. I believe that one day in the future, I can make the entire Uchiha clan a better place."

"Yeah……"

Mirai pursed her lips and looked at Itachi, "But I am a member of the Blood Pond clan, and we are mortal enemies with your Uchiha clan..."

"No family is a true mortal enemy."

Itachi Uchiha said confidently, "Even though the Senju and Uchiha clans have been sworn enemies for so many years, aren't we still living together in Konoha now?"

"I believe that the Uchiha clan and the Blood Pond clan can also find a way to survive together."

"I learned to read at the age of one, started reading at the age of two, and by the age of three I had already read the entire history of the Uchiha clan and almost a thousand battles, big and small. I know very well that interests are the ultimate purpose of the struggle."

He pointed to himself, then to the future, "We have no conflict of interest, so why are you fighting with me?"

"No one does anything meaningless. There is no love or hate without a reason, is there?"

"……snort."

Future gave a soft hum and rested her head on Qianqiu's shoulder.

She finally understood why Chiaki couldn't forget Uchiha Itachi, and Chiaki finally truly understood what a peerless genius was.

Back when I read the original Naruto manga, countless people were captivated by Itachi. Now that I've seen him, he truly lives up to his reputation.

Chapter 239 Itachi's Analysis

Ultimately, Chiaki and Itachi Uchiha did not have much interaction.

Just as Mirai leaned against Chiaki, silently watching Itachi Uchiha, several masked ANBU ninjas suddenly appeared beside Chiaki.

"Lord Senju Chiaki, the Third Hokage requests your presence."

The ANBU ninja spoke respectfully to Chiaki, who was slightly taken aback, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

"Huh? Didn't they say the workout was canceled?"

Looking at Kushina with a puzzled expression, Minato quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not my fault! Minato really said the training was canceled!"

"This has nothing to do with exercise. Please set off immediately, Lord Chiaki."

The Anbu responded respectfully, explaining that they were different from the Root unit, being Hiruzen Sarutobi's direct subordinate force.

They knew very well how much Hiruzen Sarutobi doted on this little princess. He would set aside time every week to train with her. This was the sparring and instruction of a ninja master, which made the ANBU ninjas extremely envious.

"See, I told you, the workout is really canceled!"

Kushina argued her case, then pulled up Anko and Kurenai, and waved to Chiaki and Mirai, "Since you're busy, I won't bother you any longer. You two little ones, come with me, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

Red Bean is naive and readily agreed when she heard about the delicious food, her eyes shining as she grabbed Kushina's hand.

Kurenai, however, clearly had more to think about. She glanced at Chiaki uneasily, and only after Chiaki smiled and gestured did she take Kushina's hand.

She secretly made up her mind. There was nothing she could do now, and she could only leave in despair in the face of this situation.

You must become stronger; only by becoming stronger can you do what you want to do.

Okay, let's take Qianqiu as our role model and strive to grow!

"Then we'll excuse ourselves from being rude."

Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly as he looked at the Anbu. What was originally just a great opportunity to build a relationship with Chiaki had unexpectedly been interfered with by the Anbu, leaving him in an awkward position.

I wonder if I have left a good impression on Qianqiu. If I have, the communication will be smoother.

Little did Chiaki know that this impression of Itachi had already been formed in his mind.

Chiaki's only attitude towards Itachi Uchiha was to treat him like a big shot: vigilant, alert, and attentive to his every move, never regarding him as an insignificant nobody.

"Then, gentlemen, please."

Seeing that the others had obediently left, the ANBU ninja reached out his hand to Chiaki and Mirai.

Mirai has always followed Chiaki, and this has been tacitly approved. The ANBU ninjas are not so blind as to make Mirai retreat.

"and many more."

However, Chiaki suddenly called out to Uchiha Itachi, who had turned to leave, and looked directly at the young boy.

"What do you think the old man wants to talk to me about?"

"?"

Uchiha Itachi stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Chiaki with surprise.

"Is Lord Qianqiu asking me?"

"Yes."

Qianqiu nodded. "I'd like to hear your opinion."

"Can I take this to mean that Lord Chiaki has put aside his prejudices against the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Itachi was still a child after all, and at this moment he couldn't contain himself any longer. He looked at Chiaki with a happy expression on his face.

"That's not the case. I still really hate the Uchiha clan."

Chiaki shook his head and said with disgust, "Even if the entire Uchiha clan were to die, I probably would never forgive them for what they did to the future."

Itachi Uchiha gave a wry smile. Indeed, this hatred was not so easy to resolve.

The hatred for killing one's wife is irreconcilable. The grudge between the Uchiha clan and Chiaki is deep and lasting. Perhaps only when all the members of the Uchiha clan are dead will she be able to forgive them out of pity.

"However, I can still befriend you as an individual, regardless of your relationship with the Uchiha clan."

Chiaki quietly looked at Uchiha Itachi. Like Obito, he didn't have the arrogance typical of the Uchiha clan. In fact, he had a unique quality that most people didn't have. That was why Chiaki was willing to befriend him.

Furthermore, neither of them were present when they attacked the future that day. Even if Chiaki was unhappy with the Uchiha clan, it wouldn't be necessary to launch a sweeping general attack and confront every Uchiha he encountered. That would be too exhausting.

"is it?"

"That's fine too."

Itachi Uchiha laughed. Even if it was just gaining Chiaki's favor in his personal capacity, it would still be worthwhile for the Uchiha clan.

"Alright, tell me your thoughts now."
