The person who came out to open the door was none other than Fugaku's wife, Mikoto.
In fact, when she heard the familiar voice at the door, she knew that it was Zhang Miao. After all, in the whole village, there was no one else but Zhang Miao who would bleat on her door.
After opening the door, she found that Zhang Miao was standing there, and Mikoto immediately smiled.
"Sure enough, Little Ryunosuke is here again. Itachi just came back... Eh? This is..."
Zhang Miao knew that she was asking about Yugao who was beside him, and immediately grinned.
"Haha, Auntie Mikoto, she is my eighteenth concubine that I just picked up from the side of the road. Uzumaki Yugao! Pardon for the intrusion!"
Mikoto, "..."
"What did this kid just say? A concubine?"
Looking at Mikoto's shocked face, Yugao also knew that she couldn't speak anymore. She quickly bowed to Mikoto with a red face.
"Auntie, my name is Yugao. I am Itachi-kun's classmate. Sorry for the intrusion!"
As she said this, she glared at Zhang Miao again, but the latter raised his eyebrows fearlessly at her, as if he was saying.
"Come! Come! Come and pinch my ears!"
Seeing this scene, Yugao gritted her teeth, but she did not do anything.
She did not want to be rude in front of an influential clan like the Uchiha!
Looking at the expressions of the two, Mikoto suddenly came back to her senses. She covered her mouth and laughed.
"Hehe... So this beautiful little girl is Ryunosuke's friend. Then please come inside. I'll go get some snacks, hehehe..."
When Mikoto turned around, Zhang Miao immediately followed him with a smile.
"Hehe, Auntie Mikoto, do you have some dangos?"
"There should be some..."
Seeing the two of them enter the house while talking, Yugao immediately bit her lips with a red face and followed them in.
After entering the yard, Zhang Miao immediately saw Itachi sitting in the corridor. He was playing with Sasuke. When he saw Zhang Miao coming, he blinked his eyes in surprise.
He remembered that Zhang Miao usually came in the afternoon. But he was a bit early today.
Just as he was puzzled, Zhang Miao laughted.
"Wahahaha, Itachi, I'm here to teach you a lesson again... No, I mean, I'm here to guide you again. How? Are you happy?"
Itachi, "..."
"Happy your head! And you clearly slipped your mouth just now, right?"
Looking at Itachi's expressionless face, Zhang Miao's smile became even more brilliant. He grabbed Yugao's hand behind him and pulled her directly in front of Itachi.
"Itachi, let me introduce you. This is the one I told you about before, my eighteenth concubine, Uzumaki Yugao. How? She's pretty, right? But you can't have her!"
Itachi, "..."
"What the hell is he thinking!"
"Moreover, wasn't Izumi the one you want to take as your eighteenth concubine? Why did you change your mind?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Itachi's mouth twitched. Then, he directly placed Sasuke in the corridor and walked to the center of the courtyard.
Seeing his action, Zhang Miao immediately knew what he meant.
"Hehe, Itachi, I like you. Come, Yugao! Hold this the box for me!"
With that, Zhang Miao put the small wooden box in Yugao's hand, then rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Itachi.
However, he had only walked halfway when his figure suddenly disappeared. Seeing this scene, Itachi hurriedly turned around and put up his hands to block.
"Bang!"
With a bang, Zhang Miao's figure suddenly appeared behind Itachi, trying to surprise him with a kick.
Obviously, if Itachi had not turned around in time to guard just now, he would have been kicked down by Zhang Miao, unlike now where he had only been pushed two steps aback
"Eh?"
Seeing that Itachi was able to block his kick, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You actually blocked it. It seems that you have improved a lot. Then look at this move of mine, Leaf Whirlwind!"
As he said this, Zhang Miao used his hardest whirlwind kick at Itachi. Seeing this action, Itachi's face immediately became serious.
This move was Zhang Miao's old move. In the past, Zhang Miao used this kind of whirlwind kick as an opener. After he blocked them, Zhang Miao would use other his other moves to completely suppress him. Finally, when his defense was broken, Zhang Miao would knock him down.
So this time, seeing that Zhang Miao still used this method, Itachi simply did not block it. Instead, he forcefully endured Zhang Miao's kick.
"Bang!"
Zhang Miao's kick landed smoothly on Itachi's body, sending him backwards.
"It hurts!"
Itachi, who had received Zhang Miao's kick, was in so much pain that his face turned pale. However, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain coming from his chest. His hands quickly formed seals.
Snake - Ram - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger!
The speed at which Itachi formed seals was now more than twice as fast. When he was sent flying backwards by Zhang Miao, he completed the seals.
When he landed, he immediately took a deep breath.
"Fire Release! - Fireball Jutsu!"
Compared to when he was interrupted by Zhang Miao, this time, Itachi successfully released his Fireball Jutsu. The hot air current immediately blew his hair back!
"Did I succeed?"
This thought just rose in Itachi's mind, and a familiar laughter rang out below him.
"Hehe, even if you have to take it head-on, do you still have to buy time to release Ninjutsu? Your strategy is good, but unfortunately, it's useless against me. It's over. Shouryuken!"
As this voice appeared, Itachi suddenly felt his chin was hit, and he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
After being knocked down by Zhang Miao, Itachi glanced at Zhang Miao, who was still maintaining the posture of "Shouryuken", and then shook his head helplessly.
"I lost!"
Itachi knew that Zhang Miao was holding back, because according to the situation just now, he could completely send himself flying, and then use the continuous barrage he used in back in the Academy. At that time, he would definitely not be able to get up.
Moreover, Itachi was very grateful to Zhang Miao from the bottom of his heart, because with Zhang Miao's constant company and sparring every day, he felt that his real combat experience had greatly improved, especially in terms of taijutsu, which could be said to have improved greatly!
He even had a feeling that his Sharingan was about to awaken soon!
And all of this was thanks to Zhang Miao. Thinking of this, Itachi suddenly stood up and was ready to say a few words of gratitude to Zhang Miao.
But before he could speak, he found that Zhang Miao was jumping and waving in the corridor's direction.
"Hey, Yugao, did you see that? The genius Itachi you were talking about was defeated by me. How is it? Am I awesome? Hahahaha!"
Itachi: "..."
Yugao: "Σ(°△°|||)"
