Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Page 289

Itachi remained calm, but he was already thinking about doubling his training.

"Okay, then hold on tight to me."

Minato smiled brightly, just like before, without any change.

Itachi gently grabbed him, and in the next instant, Minato vanished without a trace.

"Hey, Tsukiki, how have you been lately? I'm here for breakfast."

Minato and Itachi appeared at the front gate of the house, which bore the mark of the Flying Thunder God.

"Minato? Has Itachi graduated early already?"

Tsukiki responded as well.

"Wow, that's pretty good, it's been approved."

"After all, he's going to be Hokage; how can he not have this kind of ability?"

Before Tsukiki had finished her breakfast, Minato skillfully slipped in, as he was used to freeloading meals.

"This flavor was made by Mikoto."

You can tell whose cooking it is just by looking at the entrance; even freeloading is a professional level of skill.

"I thought you were cooking yourself, but it seems you slept in until now again."

Minato saw through the truth at a glance.

Yue Shu laughed heartily, already giving her answer.

"Then I'll go practice, Dad, Uncle Minato."

Itachi gave the message and then went out on his own.

"Wait, water, and remember to come back for lunch."

Mikoto took out a bottle from inside, which contained the juice she had made herself.

"Okay, Mom, thank you."

Itachi took the bottle and bent over slightly as if bowing.

"Keep it up!"

Mikoto smiled as she watched Minato walk out the door.

"You're really diligent."

Kushina watched Itachi leave from behind Mikoto.

"I need to work harder too."

Kushina mustered her energy and clenched her fists, while Tsukiki and Minato started chatting.

That's just how relationships are between men.

"It's so good to be young; the future belongs to them."

"Being Hokage must be tough."

Yue Shu laughed.

"Without you, things will be much more relaxed. We need to deal with both the root and the old party. Although we discovered them before, it's still quite troublesome to deal with them properly now."

"Well, good luck, those guys won't give up so easily."

After Tsukiki and Minato finished eating, Mikoto very considerately poured them two cups of tea.

"Thank you, Misaka."

"I'll keep an eye on that, don't worry."

"The current state of Konoha is just right; we mustn't let those guys interfere."

Minato has been dealing with the Root and Danzo's forces in this way ever since he took office.

It is precisely because of this that Konoha appears so harmonious, just like the improved relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, where both sides have contributed.

"Good luck, Fourth Hokage."

Tsukiki and Minato clinked glasses, drinking tea as if it were alcohol.

"You seem to be living a leisurely life. I'm already thinking about retiring soon, but..."

Minato sensed Itachi's presence outside; it wasn't too strong, but it already possessed the chakra of a top-tier Chunin.

"We have to wait until the young people grow up."

Minato finished his tea in one gulp.

"Alright, it's almost time, I have to go too. The new flames of Konoha are shining brighter and brighter, that's a good thing."

"With the wind at your back."

Yue Shu waved.

Minato smiled, and his figure vanished instantly, leaving only a lingering golden light.

"Have they already left?"

Mikoto walked in carrying some snacks.

"The Hokage is a very busy man."

"Yes, Konoha has gotten better and better since Minato became Hokage, and our Uchiha clan's relationship with the village has also improved."

"Itachi will definitely become such an outstanding Hokage in the future."

Mikoto spoke of her expectations for Itachi. She didn't usually say much about it, but after all, it was her mother.

Tsukiki sat closer to Mikoto and gently hugged her.

Mikoto's complexion flushed slightly, and she leaned her head on Tsukiki's shoulder.

"Itachi is very outstanding."

Tsukiki and Mikoto were cuddling, enjoying the warmth of the moment.

Meanwhile, outside, Itachi continued his relentless efforts.

Some time ago, Itachi stopped needing Tsukuyomi's guidance. His ninja fundamentals have been solidified time and time again. Now, Itachi is starting to develop his ninjutsu creativity and improve his combat skills. Regarding this, Itachi challenges Tsukuyomi, and has lost tens of thousands of times so far.

After exhausting his chakra, Itachi rested for a while before continuing to throw shuriken. He was now practicing even more advanced shuriken techniques.

With a flick of his wrist, all ten shuriken flew out simultaneously, each finger holding a barely visible thin line.

Itachi stared intently at the ten shuriken. In the next moment, Itachi flicked his hands, and the ten thin threads pulled the shuriken along with them, changing their direction.

The ten shuriken changed direction and collided repeatedly, changing direction again.

With each change of direction, the shuriken's trajectory became unpredictable.

"I can see it!"

Itachi's eyes widened, and he handled the shuriken with ease.

After changing direction repeatedly, all the shurikens eventually hit the bullseye.

"This is?"

Itachi loosened the string in his hand and looked at his own hands.

"The Sharingan?"

He felt his chakra, which had just begun to recover, being constantly depleted.

The weasel walked to the nearby lakeside and stuck its head out.

That youthful face, somewhat resembling Yue Shu's, was reflected on the lake's surface.

Those eyes were particularly striking.

"Sharingan".

Itachi's Sharingan has emerged, and it's not just a single tomoe, but a two-tomoe Sharingan, with another tomoe faintly visible.

Itachi also noticed that his eyes were slightly different, with a small ring around them.

"That's a bit strange. Let's go back and ask Mom."

Itachi's Sharingan slowly returned to normal.

"Itachi!"

A sound came from behind, and Itachi turned around to look.

She was a girl the same age as Itachi. She appeared suddenly when Itachi was practicing a while ago. Her name seemed to be Izumi, and she lived not far away.

"Itachi, you didn't go to school, did you?"

Quanmei approached him very naturally, as if they were old friends.

"Too close."

Itachi glanced at it, then walked away on his own.

"I still need to practice, don't disturb me."

Itachi ignored Izumi and walked back to where he had been, ready to continue practicing.

"Then I want one too."

Itachi didn't answer and simply walked away.

Itachi looked at the sky and realized that it was already dusk.

"It's almost time to eat."

I also need to ask my mother about the Sharingan.

Itachi changed direction and headed home, completely ignoring Izumi following behind him.
