After getting the training place for Itachi from Fugaku, Shisui left the Uchiha clan and went to the remote river.

Sure enough, Shisui saw Itachi practicing his fire ball somewhere.

A huge fireball landed in the water, causing a large amount of water mist.

"Itachi." Shisui greeted Itachi with a smile.

Hearing this familiar voice, Itachi quickly turned around and saw that the figure he had been missing in his heart was slowly walking towards him.

"Shisui." Itachi's usually calm expression disappeared, and his little face was filled with happiness.

I haven’t seen this for a long time

The two walked together, Shisui put his hand on Itachi's shoulder and said with a smile: "I've been a little busy recently, so I didn't come to see you. How is your training going?"

When Shisui talked about training, Itachi thought of Kabuto. With Kabuto sparring with him, his strength increased faster.

Itachi thought for a while and said, "Not bad."

"That's good. Why don't we have a long-lost battle and see how much progress you have made, Itachi." Shisui challenged Itachi.

Although the current Itachi would be killed instantly if he faced Shisui who got serious.

But when fighting Itachi, Shisui would deliberately suppress his own strength and act as a sparring partner.

Shisui felt that Itachi was very similar to him. Although he was young, he was good at thinking and could think about many problems that adults would not think about.

"Okay." Itachi nodded and assumed an offensive stance.

Phew! Phew!

Two kunai flew towards Shisui.

Shisui's Sharingan was not opened, and he easily dodged the two kunai by turning his body slightly to one side.

Boom!

The bitter wood is firmly inserted into the trees.

But Itachi didn't expect to be able to defeat Shisui with just two kunai.

In the previous battle with Shisui, Itachi understood that Shisui was a ninja with no flaws, and he could only rely on hard power to defeat him.

Itachi quickly fired three shurikens again. However, this time the shurikens were not as simple as the kunai last time. The three shurikens collided with each other, and finally struck Shisui at a weird angle.

Zhisui smiled slightly, he was the one who taught Itachi this, and Itachi was still a little too young to deal with him.

Shisui quickly took out a shuriken from his ninja bag, narrowed his eyes slightly, calculated the trajectory of the collision, and then violently threw out the shuriken with an explosion of chakra.

Dang Dang Dang!!

Three consecutive metal collision sounds were heard.

Shisui's shuriken took the lead in deflecting the shuriken that was about to hit him.

The shuriken that was deflected bounced the other two shurikens away, and the final collision sent Shisui's original shuriken towards Itachi's position.

Chakra exploded from Itachi's feet, and he retreated sharply, dodging this weird shuriken.

Itachi had to admit that he was just doing his best, and compared to Shisui, his shuriken throwing was still much worse.

"Fire Release? Huge Fireball!" Itachi quickly formed a seal, and soon spit out a fireball that was two or three times larger than others and attacked Shisui.

Shisui smiled slightly and formed the same seal as Itachi.

"Fire escape? Huge fireball!"

Shisui also spit out a fireball and pressed it towards Itachi.

Although Shisui let off a lot of water, he was a strong man who had already made a name for himself in the war. When the two fireballs collided, Itachi's fireball was instantly suppressed.

Seeing that the ninjutsu was not working, Itachi was not surprised, so he removed his chakra and quickly dodged into the water.

Zizzi!

The powerful fire escape exploded on the river, creating a large amount of water vapor that blocked the view.

Whoosh!

The moment the white mist appeared, three voices running quickly were heard.

The three Uchiha Itachis attacked Shisui from different directions.

But Shisui did easily recognize Itachi's true form, grabbed the attacking Itachi with his right hand, and swung it hard, breaking the two shadow clones of Itachi.

"How did you find me, Shisui?" Itachi climbed up from the ground and asked curiously.

Zhisui pointed at Itachi's wet clothes and said, "Itachi, you came out of the water and used the shadow clone. Except for your body, the clothes of the shadow clone are all dry."

Itachi was stunned. It was not that he hadn't thought about the problem of wet clothes, but at that moment there should have been white mist blocking him, and he could only see the outline of his figure.

It was discovered how to practice whether clothes are dry or wet.

Seeing through Itachi's doubts, Shisui pointed at his blood-red eyes.

It turned out that at some point, Shisui had opened his three magatama sharingan.

"Under the power of the Sharingan, your flaws will be infinitely magnified, so when you fight with me, you must not reveal any flaws." Shisui reminded gently.

Itachi nodded, remembering the lesson in his mind. When dealing with an enemy with a Sharingan, you can't use smoke to block your vision for any reason.

Shisui pulled out the wakizashi from his back, went to the woods to cut some wood, brought it to Itachi's side, and then lit it with Fire Release.

The two sat in front of the fire and started chatting.

"Shisui, what have you been busy with during this time?" Itachi asked curiously.

It turned out that even though Shisui was busy, he was still able to find time to guide him in his practice and talk to him.

Zhisui thought for a while, and then said: "It is a confidential job, I can't tell you, but it is a very meaningful job."

"Very meaningful?" Itachi became even more curious, but since Shisui said it was a confidential job, he didn't continue to ask for details.

Zhisui nodded and said: "It is very meaningful. If it succeeds, the relationship between the village and the family will be improved."

"That does make sense." Itachi nodded.

Even though he was very young, he could still feel the conflicts between his family and the village, and there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the Uchiha clan.

Sometimes he often hears his Uchiha clan members coming to his father, Uchiha Fugaku, to complain about various things in the village.

"Shisui, will you still be so busy in the future?" Itachi asked.

"This week will be easier, but the rest will be busy." Shisui nodded.

Looking at Itachi who was somewhat silent, Shisui smiled, rubbed Uchiha Itachi's head, and said with a smile: "To borrow a sentence from Captain Nagazawa, ninjas should do what they should do, not what they want to do.

"

“This time it’s hard to find what I want to do and what I should do. I want to try my best to do it.”

"Captain Nagazawa? Who is he?" Itachi asked curiously. Shisui actually quoted Captain Nagazawa's dialogue, which meant that that person was definitely recognized by Shisui.

"He is one of my seniors. He is the true successor of the Will of Fire. There is so much in him that I can learn from." Zhisui sighed.

"..." Itachi said nothing, silently remembering the name Nagaze in his heart.

This was no longer recognized by Shisui, who respected him very much.

Itachi was very curious, what kind of person would it be that could be so highly respected by Shisui?
