In the hot bathroom, the two brothers were squatting on the two bottom corners of the triangular bathtub.

In order to prevent what was said here from being overheard by the parents, the faucet kept pouring hot water into the bathtub, making a gurgling sound.

"I haven't seen you use water escape in three years. I didn't expect you to reach such a level."

Itachi watched the water vapor naturally and continuously spread to both sides under Giyu's control without any trace, and couldn't help but admire it.

"It's like water escape is a unique blood inheritance limit for you."

Yiyong had taught him water breathing, and in the past three years, Itachi had also practiced water breathing to a regular level.

Although Itachi couldn't extract chakra while using the breathing method, he felt that his mastery of water escape was steadily improving every day, and it would naturally be much easier to perform tasks in a place like the Kingdom of Water.

"Don't interrupt."

As soon as Yiyong opened his mouth, the scalding bath water dropped by two or three degrees, and the water vapor escaped a little faster.

"How did the doctor named Tsunade explain this disease to you?"

He had heard Anjuro mention that it was this disciple of Tsunade who operated on those children who were called "experimental subjects" by the Land of Rain. Purgatory Anjuro's residence in Konoha was also her home.

’s ancestral home.

The other party is not only the granddaughter of the First Hokage, but also the most powerful medical ninja in the entire ninja world.

Yiyong wanted to hear her explanation first, maybe there were other treatments for Itachi's disease.

Itachi had no choice but to repeat Tsunade's explanation to him: "You know, human chakra is a mixture of mental energy and physical energy. These are two things that every human being is born with."

Yiyong's eyes did not change: "What then?"

"For ordinary ninjas, physical and mental training are carried out at the same time, so their mental energy and physical energy are always in a balanced state.

"But ninjas with blood inheritance limits are different, especially blood successor ninjas who are born with spiritual energy or excessive physical energy. Their two energies are not very balanced from birth, but it will be extremely obvious in some individuals.

"For example, the Senju clan is famous for their physical strength. There was once such an extreme individual. When he was injured, the wound had already begun to recover, so it was almost impossible to be truly injured or killed. He was regarded as a

He is regarded as a genius among geniuses. However, because such a person's physical energy is too abundant and he loses control of his mental energy, he will use up the number of cell divisions that his cells can divide in decades and die quickly in just a few years.

"Another example is the Kurama clan. All clan members who have awakened their blood inheritance will basically remain weak and sickly throughout their lives. This is because excess mental energy interferes with the normal operation of the body."

Itachi paused after saying this, "Now it seems that I am in the latter situation. Tsunade-sama said that my mental energy is inherently stronger than my physical energy. I have been in this imbalanced state for a long time since I was a child.

That's why I got sick. In the next few years, my body will continue to weaken until I die."

He said the word "death" very calmly and didn't seem to take it too seriously.

"Although the breathing method you taught me can strengthen the body very quickly, my body has been damaged. The upper limit is there. No matter how much I exercise, I can't make up for this imbalance."

"How many years? How long is it exactly?"

Yiyong asked, "Is there any way to delay the illness?"

"Tsunade-sama said that it could be as little as five years. If I don't use the Sharingan all the time and exacerbate the imbalance between the two energies, there is hope for ten years."

Hearing the number ten years, Yiyong's expression brightened slightly.

As long as there is time left for him to deal with it.

"No... Mom said, your complexion is actually better than when you came back last time."

Suddenly, an idea broke into Yiyong's mind, and the look on Itachi's face immediately became very alert.

"Could it be that you actually hope that you die early?"

【What happened before,

Is it such a big blow to him?】

"Why do you think so?"

Itachi suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But when he saw that Giyuu looked as serious as the Second Hokage's Kage Iwa, he had to explain the change in his mental state.

"The so-called living towards death means that the closer a person is to death, the more likely he is to think of what he should do. Half a year ago, after knowing what I was facing, I finally figured out some things and no longer dwell on the past.

Those situations are tangled.”

With that said, Itachi cleared his throat solemnly, "Giyu, I don't plan to continue to be a ninja anymore."

"Um?"

Following Yiyong's question, the originally rippling water surface completely calmed down, as if the wrinkled sheets were being gently smoothed by a hand.

Considering that the faucet was still filling the bathtub, this scene seemed particularly abnormal.

"As long as I am a ninja, facing premature lives and mutilated bodies all day long, living in a state of stress and tension, the world will always be dangerous, and anyone in my eyes may be a potential enemy. Hug

With such hostile thoughts, it is impossible to truly understand the world and the meaning of life."

Weasel seemed to have walked into a plain that suddenly opened up, his eyes shining brightly.

"So I plan to use the remaining time to go to those scenic spots and historic sites, to those legendary places, to find out what the mythical world was like a thousand years ago, when there was no Sage of Six Paths. If humans did not have chakra at that time,

What did you rely on to survive?

"I have always asked these questions in the past. Now that I know for sure that I am not going to die soon, but no one else can give me the answers, I plan to find out for myself."

"What about your illness?"

Giyuu was not affected by Itachi's longing tone, nor was he surprised by his idea of ​​"not being a ninja".

Although he was someone who had seen countless corpses, he just wanted to know how to keep Itachi alive.

"Are you just going to leave it alone? Then when do you plan to tell your father, mother, and Zuosuke about this?"

Facing Yiyong's questioning, Itachi was well prepared.

"Since Tsunade-sama has nothing to do, what's the point of telling the rest of the family except to make them worry in vain?"

Itachi looked at Giyu with a consulting look, "You are much more mature than Sasuke. You should understand what I mean, right, Giyu? If they silently count down my death every day, this family will be completely destroyed."

Yiyong fell silent.

Although he would not take the initiative to lie, concealing something is another kind of lie.

Until now, Uchiha Gan and Cui thought that the murderer of Yan Huo and Wen was dead, and the clansmen also accepted this fact.

But for three years, Yiyong suffered from this every day, looking for all suspicious evidence and connections day after day.

Now he had to hide such a big secret from Itachi, how could he do it with peace of mind.

"I will find a way to cure you."

Yiyong made a promise to himself and also made a promise to Itachi.

"Three years, if I still find a way to treat you within three years, I will tell my family about your illness.

"If you have to die, I can't leave them unprepared."

"..."

Itachi looked at Yiyong's serious expression. Although he knew that there was little hope of curing the blood disease, he still felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you, Yiyong."

He not only thanked Yiyong for his willingness to work hard to keep him alive, but also thanked Yiyong for his willingness to hide this matter from him.

But no matter how he looked at it, this secret could only be kept for three years at most.

Just when Itachi wanted to change the topic and let the "stagnant water" in the bathtub ripple again, the bathroom door was suddenly opened!

"You didn't even wait for me!"

I saw a tender white pig, naked, running from the door to the bathtub, and then like a leaping seal, it plopped between the two of them, causing a huge splash of water that went straight to the ceiling, and then

Only then did Mikoto's scolding sound come from outside the door.

"Sasuke! You have to rinse yourself off before you can get into the bathtub."

Zuosuke stuck his head out of the water and stuck out his tongue playfully, "It's already too late."

"Not too late."

Giyuu looked serious, stretched out his hand and tapped Zuosuke's shoulder, and activated the ninjutsu.

"Water escape? Water prison technique."

The next second, Zuosuke was wrapped in bubbles made of a water curtain and floated up. He exclaimed and moved out of the bathtub, like a white mouse locked in a glass cover.

Then, the bubble shrank, allowing him to poke his head out.

"What are you doing?! Put me down quickly, Yiyong!"

Zuosuke yelled in panic, feeling like an exhibit floating in mid-air, very ashamed.

Yiyong raised his hand, and the bubbles were filled with water out of thin air.

"Wash yourself well!"

Giyuu gave an order, and the water in the bubbles surrounded Zuosuke's body, spinning at high speed like a drum washing machine, making a buzzing sound, constantly rinsing and cleaning Zuosuke's skin.
