When Itachi's words resounded in the room, Mikoto subconsciously looked at her husband and worried.

Because in her memory, this was the first time that Itachi talked back to his father in person and even said that his father was wrong.

But the strange thing was that Fugaku didn't get angry and instead looked at Shisui with a calm face.

"Is what Itachi said true? Did he really lose to a child of the same age?"

Shisui sighed in his heart. He already knew what Itachi was going to do, so he could only open his mouth and say, "That's right, the condition for the duel is that both sides can only use physical skills. When the other party launched the last attack, I stopped the other party. But at that time, Itachi had no hope of turning the tables unless he broke the rules. So, according to the rules of the duel, it was indeed Itachi who lost….. Moreover, the other party seems to have a special kind of Kekkei Genkai that can form a tough membrane on the surface of the body to protect himself."

Originally, Fugaku's face had become very ugly. When he heard that the little Aoba was actually Kekkei Genkai's owner and that it was a rare defensive type Kekkei Genkai, he couldn't help but be startled.

"What kind of Kekkei Genkai is it?"

"I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem to be recorded. It might be a brand new, undiscovered Kekkei Genkai."

Hearing this, Fugaku's expression finally eased a little.

In his opinion, losing to a war orphan living in the Commoners District was a completely different result from losing to a genius with Kekkei Genkai!

The former would disappoint him greatly, while the latter would provide sufficient reason for this defeat.

In addition, it was just a competition of physical skills, and it could not prove anything.

Itachi's true talent lay in his understanding of ninjutsu, illusion techniques, and Sharingan, who had opened it at the age of five...

If this had not happened, Itachi's performance would undoubtedly be flawless in his eyes.

However, the suspected new Kekkei Genkai...

Fugaku instinctively stood from the perspective of a clan leader and began to think.

After weighing the gains and losses for a long time, there were two paths in front of him.

One was to eliminate the roots completely. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet grown up, he would pay a certain price to erase them directly. After all, after Uchiha 'A', that idiot, made his own decision last time, there must be an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides.

However, the difficulty was not small. A single mistake could even drag the entire clan into a quagmire.

And the second path was...

Fugaku looked at the calm Itachi without revealing any joy. Finally, he sighed in his heart.

'Forget it, forget it.'

"I don't want to hear such words again in the future. Uchiha doesn't welcome that kid either."

Fugaku's words made Itachi's heart sink. Even though he chose the most suitable way of speaking, could he still not let his father agree?

But when Fugaku turned around, his face revealed a smile again….

"But since you already have the resolve to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of your family, you don't have to report to me what kind of people you are willing to befriend in the future. Of course, the premise is that I don't want to hear the two words 'fail' again. You can lose, but you are not allowed to lose to any one of your age! Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Father."

After Fugaku left, Mikoto went to feed the newly born Sasuke after a few words of concern for Itachi.

Only the excited Itachi and Shisui were left in this room.

"I really didn't expect that you would actually start from this aspect. However, I still have to congratulate you on clearing away the resistance from the clan," Shisui said with a smile.

Itachi smiled and did not say anything else.

Why would Fugaku ban Itachi?

Because Fugaku had high hopes for Itachi and did not want him to waste time and energy playing around.

Moreover, not everyone could be friends with their own son.

The difference in wealth, status, strength, and other factors needed to be considered.

Think about it, could a super genius from a noble family and a poor ordinary person become friends?

Even if they could, how long could this friendship last?

When one person had always been high above the others, but the other person had been rolling in the mire since birth. After interacting with them for a long time, could the latter's mentality be balanced?

It could be said that conflicts were inevitable, and even hatred would arise for no reason.

It was precise because of this experience that Fugaku had banned Itachi from wasting time and energy on this kind of thing. Because some people could not even see their backs, how could they talk about friendship?

However, Itachi's persistence and the things that had happened today had caused his attitude to change.

Since the other party was not ordinary and was indeed qualified to follow behind Itachi, then it was not impossible to nurture him into a helper.

At the very least, it was not a waste of time and energy!

It had to be said that Itachi had made the right bet this time. If he tried to convince Fugaku with words such as friendship and fetters, what awaited him would probably be a longer period of confinement!

Humans would only be valued if they possessed a certain amount of value. This had been the case since ancient times!

If not for the matter with Uchiha, perhaps Fugaku's attitude would have been better, but since it had already happened, Fugaku had to consider the attitude of his clansmen.

Therefore, Itachi could not do this kind of thing. As the head of Uchiha's clan, he could not lower himself to do it.

What's more, only geniuses grew up to be real geniuses.

Those who died halfway were just idiots!

The current Shinomiya Aoba was just a lucky little brat in Fugaku's eyes.

......

In the end, Aoba still couldn't harden his heart to eat tree bark and grass. After forcing himself to endure the hunger and returning home, he immediately changed into clean clothes. Then, he rushed to Ichiraku Ramen in one breath and ate his fill!

But the price was that his wallet had severely shrunk again, and he might really have to eat dirt next.

As a result, when he walked out and heard the friendly greeting of the uncle behind him, he couldn't help but shiver when he heard the words 'coming again next time'.

'Again?'

'After a few more times, this young master would really have to stay behind to wash dishes and wash dishes!'

Helpless, he had no choice but to return home.

...

While accelerating the healing of his wounds, he also soaked in the medicinal bath, preparing to replenish the deficit in his body.

Today's battle with Itachi could be said to have gained a lot.

It was to the extent that his understanding of [Hakuda] became even deeper. Beating up a hundred brats was not as much as the 'experience' that he had gained from this battle.

It was no wonder that Shisui would suggest that he fight more people. It was indeed very reasonable.

However, after experiencing today's battle, he also discovered many flaws in himself. Especially in terms of speed, he lacked methods that could effectively approach the enemy.

If not for the fact that many abilities of Itachi were not allowed to be used, Itachi would probably beat him to death.

This made him very helpless.
