"Um?"

The children of the Uchiha clan noticed that someone was looking at him, and looked at the people next to him suspiciously.

Did he also come to buy three-color dumplings?

Itachi bowed slightly, expressing his friendliness and courtesy.

"It's really him, Uchiha beats seven..."

Jing Ming looked at this familiar face. Although it was still very immature, it already had some obvious features. The deep tear grooves were distributed on both sides of the nose, not as long as they were later, only a little trace was revealed.

"Hello."

In response to Itachi's polite bow, Jing Ming nodded, with a kind smile on his face.

"Are you here to buy three-color dumplings, they are delicious!"

"Um......"

Itachi seemed a little shy, because Jing Ming's gaze kept on his face.

"Sorry, sorry, my name is Jing Ming, are you from the Uchiha clan?"

"My name is Itachi, Uchiha Itachi."

Itachi bowed slightly again, there was nothing to fault with the very good manners, but Jing Ming felt a little alienated from his actions.

The children of large families have many etiquettes, and most of the time they will not show the freedom and joy of ordinary children.

"Where are your parents? Are you alone?"

"Well, they are very busy at work."

"That's it... By the way, look at your forehead protector, you are already Konoha's ninja?"

"Um."

Itachi still said the word, but this time, you can feel a little proud of Itachi.

Becoming Konoha's ninja has become the pride in Itachi's heart.

"It's amazing, you are already a ninja when you are so young."

Jing Ming showed an expression of admiration.

The young Itachi shook his head, "I'm just a Genin of Konoha, nothing special, I still need to work harder."

"That's right, you still need to work harder."

Jing Ming looked at the proprietress of the Sanse Dumpling Store with a smile, and bought four more dumplings.

"Very delicious, thanks for the hospitality."

......

"Are you not busy with anything?"

Itachi and Jing Ming walked side by side. Itachi was about to return to the Uchiha clan, Jing Ming followed.

Swallowing the dumpling in his mouth, Jing Ming shook his head.

"It's been quite empty recently."

"And you?"

Jing Ming glanced at Itachi. He seemed to be entangled in whether to eat dumplings. Maybe he thought it would be more polite to chat with outsiders or not to eat.

"me?"

Itachi put aside the entanglement and answered Jing Ming's question.

"The team is off today, but I'm going to the Uchiha clan training ground to practice later."

"The Uchiha clan, now they have moved to the edge of the village."

Jing Ming said with emotion.

Hearing Jing Ming's words, Itachi's mood was obviously fading, and he walked with his head slightly lowered.

Jing Ming continued to eat the dumplings in his hand, and after finishing all the four dumplings, he raised his head and exhaled for a long time.

"Satisfied!"

"Hey? Don't you eat it?"

Jing Ming looked at the unmoved dumpling in Itachi's hand and asked.

"..." Itachi did not speak, it seemed that he was not in a high mood, or that Jing Ming, a familiar stranger, was a little annoyed.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now."

The ferret bit a dumpling and chewed slowly.

Out of courtesy, he still responded to Jing Ming's words, but from his beginning to eat dumplings, it can be seen that he is not as polite and thoughtful as he was at the beginning, and the sense of alienation is slowly fading.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi, like the clan, has been alienated from the village if there is nothing. Although it is not as cold as Naruto, it is unrealistic to expect a good relationship. .

So Jing Ming's conversation, in a sense, can be regarded as one of the few people outside the Uchiha clan who is willing to chat with him.

Of course, Itachi would not take the initiative to alienate his distance because of Jing Ming's a little presumption.

The delicious dumplings can ease the worries in the heart. Itachi looks at the scenery on the roadside, eats the soft dumplings, and is accompanied by a self-cooked Konoha Village citizen walking by him, which is not too bad.

Although Jing Ming accidentally mentioned the contradiction between the village and the Uchiha clan, it really made Itachi very distressed.

He loves the village, but he doesn't really like this feeling.

As the son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the most potential genius of the Uchiha clan, and an ordinary Genin in Konoha Village, Uchiha Itachi hopes to become Hokage, to add brilliance to the Uchiha clan, and to offer his share to Konoha. strength.

But in recent years, he has become increasingly uncertain.

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village has become a knot in Itachi's heart.

Before solving this pimple, Hokage was just a dream that was too vague.

"It's not good for your health to be so worried at a young age."

Jing Ming mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

"If you have something to say, it will be bad if you hold it in your heart."

Itachi didn't know how to respond to Jing Ming, and he couldn't tell Jing Ming the troubles in his heart. After all, the two were still strangers, not friends.

"Of course, you have become Genin at such a young age. I don't think you can be troubled by ordinary things. Unlike me, who is 11 years old, but still doing nothing, fighting for an ideal that cannot be said to be too great."

Fighting for ideals... Itachi remembered his original Hokage dream.

When he was very young, his father took him to the battlefield and experienced the bloody world.

If he becomes Hokage, the first thing he wants to do is to prevent wars from happening, and not to let so many people die because of wars.

The kind is not hatred, but because of the relationship between countries, swords and soldiers on the battlefield are facing each other... Maybe if they step off the battlefield, they can still become good friends who love to drink and talk.

"That must be very motivated, fighting for your ideals, full of energy every day."

Itachi took the initiative to question, with a trace of yearning in his eyes.

"Well, yes, I am full of energy every day, because I can't slack off. If I slack off, my ideals may never be realized."

Jing Ming looked directly at the sun, and his strong pupil power had already kept him from being damaged by looking directly at the bright light.

He stretched out his hand and held it in a small circle on the outline of the sun.

From now on, I will make you my three-color dumpling, together with the Ninja World and the moon...

"Yes! Can't slack off, as long as I don't give up lightly, there will be a solution to the conflict between the village and the family."

Itachi was agitated in his heart, and he secretly looked at the stranger beside him.

"Even such an ordinary villager has such determination. As the son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, how can I be cowardly?"

Sure enough, you still have to be humble, everyone has something to learn from, and I am still too immature...

Itachi reflected on himself, and suddenly felt a familiar breath. He looked up and saw a short-haired Uchiha ninja walking towards him.

"Itachi, don't you introduce me, your new friend."

Shisui greeted Jing Ming with a smile.

"His name is Jing Ming, a villager in Konoha Village."

Although Itachi thought he should be called Jing Ming-senpai, Shisui said he was a friend, so be it.

After all, Shisui was his predecessor and friend, and Jing Ming seemed to be about the same age as Shisui.
