Outside the teaching building, under the big tree next to the swing.
There was not much food to eat, but most of Itachi's bento had entered Aoba's stomach.
It was delicious!
It was just a pity that he couldn't eat the love bento sent to him by the female classmate.
It was estimated that there would be no more chances to eat the female classmate's soft rice after today. It was a pity, a pity ---
Aoba put down the empty bento box and handed it back to Itachi. There was no embarrassment on his face. Itachi did not take it seriously. He knew about Aoba's situation. Besides, it was just a casual meal.
"You... Do you have any plans for the future?" Itachi hesitated for a moment before asking.
"What do you mean? The future?" Aoba was stunned for a moment.
"I don't want to waste too much time here. I want to graduate as soon as possible." Itachi nodded and shook his head, "I thought about what you said to me last time and felt that there was some truth to it. No matter what I want to do in the future, I must have enough strength to support it. Moreover, I have already learned the things taught by the Ninja School. It is too stupid to waste six years here, so I want to ask your opinion."
How many times had Itachi taken the initiative to learn from him and share his worries?
Aoba was very happy in his heart and felt that he had achieved some results in the initial transformation of Itachi.
Otherwise, if it were for the original Itachi, he would probably have graduated in advance.
"Hehe, what a coincidence. After listening to the class today, I was also thinking about whether or not I should graduate early. As you know, the path I want to walk is different from ordinary ninjas."
Itachi did not know why, but after hearing Aoba's words, his heart suddenly felt extremely relaxed, and a smile subconsciously appeared on his face. "Is that so? Then maybe after graduation, we can be divided into a team."
Aoba also smiled, but he said, "I'm not interested in being your shield again, unless... you understand."
Itachi flipped over Sharingan for the first time and then said snappily, "I'll take care of everything in the future."
"Deal!"
Aoba immediately agreed, afraid that Itachi would go back on his word. However, he still added, "But it's hard to say about the graduation class. Are you sure?"
"As long as the two of us work together, we can graduate early. There should be a high chance that we can be divided together."
"Alright then. If something goes wrong, don't say that I don't believe in keeping my promise."
"Yes."
After ending this topic, two youths of the same age sat under a tree and looked up at the sky.
Itachi was a little absent-minded. He always felt that he had become a little different from his original self, but this change did not seem to be bad for some reason.
And having a friend who could share laughter and sorrow... This feeling was really not bad!
Gradually, Itachi's face revealed a sunny smile.
Although it was just a flash, it still revealed a bit of the temperament of youth.
The sun was really bright and beautiful...
After a while, Itachi seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and asked, "Aoba, what is your dream? Is it to become a Hokage?"
Aoba replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, I have already reserved the 5th Hokage in advance! What, you also want to be the Hokage?"
Itachi shook his head, "I only hope that everyone can coexist peacefully and there is no more war."
"Yes, the goal is great!" Aoba gave Itachi a thumbs-up. It was not mockery but from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you think that day will come?"
"Definitely!"
"Why?"
"As long as the two of us work together, what can't we do? Think about it, didn't Shoudai Hokage and Uchiha Madara also work together to suppress the entire Ninja World? Since they can do it, we have no reason not to do it. The only reason we can't do it is that we are not strong enough!"
Aoba suddenly sat up!
Itachi was also frightened by his 'bold words'.
As they spoke, why did the two of them claim to be Shoudai Hokage and Uchiha Madara?
However, looking at Aoba's serious gaze, a thought suddenly popped up in Itachi's mind.
'This guy is actually serious.'
'Why can't we do it?'
'The only reason we can't do it is that we are not strong enough!'
For some reason, this sentence began to echo in Itachi's ears.
It seemed that... what he said was right.
However, could the two of them really do it?
Itachi, who had been brainwashed once again, was actually a little unconfident...
At this time, Aoba, who had finished saying his fallacies, stood up and said, "Let's go back. Before we realize our great dream, we can first complete a small goal, and that is to strive to graduate as soon as possible!"
Itachi nodded. He had to do it step by step. This small goal was certainly not bad. He had to inquire about the conditions to graduate early.
However, by the time they entered the school building, the trio of hedgehogs had already become impatient from waiting.
"Hey, you two!"
Hmm?
Aoba and Itachi looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Because they had no impression of the people in front of them
"Bastard! We are in the same class! I just introduced myself in the morning, but you two didn't remember it at all? Damn it! Remember, my name is Kasugano Hide!" Hedgehog Head No. 1 roared loudly, his face red.
"Sasaki Hashi!"
"I am Fuyuhida!"
The other two also shouted one after another.
They were obviously here to cause trouble, but they were treated as strangers. Was there anything more sorrowful than this?
"Sorry, can we go over now?" Itachi apologized expressionlessly.
Aoba, who knew Itachi well, knew that this guy was clearly apologizing very seriously because he did not recognize his classmate.
However, in the eyes of the trio of hedgehogs, Itachi was just perfunctory to them, and he did not put them in his eyes at all.
"Arrogant guy!" Kasugano Hide gritted his teeth and said.
'Arrogant?'
Itachi was stunned for a moment.
"Pfft!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Aoba finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
'I didn't expect Itachi to have such a natural side to him when he was young. Hahaha!'
'It was really interesting to think that serious apology was a provocation!'
Aoba's laughter was like a series of slaps that landed on the faces of the three of them, causing their faces to turn green and then black. It was extremely ugly.
Just as the three of them couldn't help but want to teach Aoba and Itachi a lesson, a tall and fat figure walked in from outside.
"You dare block my path? Are you brats itching for a beating?"
"Sorry, I'm asking them to make way. Please wait a moment." Itachi turned around and looked fearlessly at the senior who was taller than him by a head.
Looking at the veins on the other party's forehead, Aoba couldn't help but cover his face.
"You are really good at pulling aggro, Itachi!"
