Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

"Mom, why did you take me with you when you went to see Aunt Nono?"

Itachi asked with some confusion as he walked forward with one of his hands being led by Uchiha Mikoto.

"Itachi, what do you think of Shisui's teacher?"

Mikoto didn't answer, but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She paused and turned to ask her son with a smile.

"Master Cheng?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, looking at the ground with a dazed look in his eyes, recalling the information he had come across about Kato Makoto.

On the battlefield, he had seen that god-like ninja who had exerted the power of Uchiha to the extreme, leaving even his father dumbfounded.

After returning to the village, he was sent to a ninja school by his father. When the teachers mentioned Lord Makoto, their faces were full of longing.

If the Yondaime-sama is the dream of the common people, then Makoto-sama is the idol of the ninjas of the small family.

Later, he met Brother Shisui, from whom he heard a more lifelike image.

"Master Makoto is the towering tree that protects Konoha, the inheritor of the Will of Fire, and a leader who cares for his colleagues and protects his subordinates."

"Is this so..."

Mikoto touched her son's hair. The soft hair rubbed against her palms and fingertips, revealing the child's vitality.

She was proud of her son. At the age of five, he showed the maturity and calmness of an adult. He was able to summarize and extract information, and could master the Fireball Technique after being taught once. In the future, he would surely achieve greater success than his father.

Fugaku is right, as parents we should pave the way for him to move forward.

That night, she rarely refused Fugaku's request.

After spending a long time with Kushina and Nono, although Kushina has never heard any complaints from Nono, she often stands up for Nono.

Red Pepper seemed to know something and firmly believed that Kato Makoto was a playboy.

At the most recent gathering, Kushina also brought out the information that the Daimyo of the Land of Rain had entertained Kato Makoto, confirming Kato Makoto's judgment that he was dishonest.

He also said that Minato had been led astray by Kato Makoto and actually spoke for Kato Makoto, saying that it was a normal hospitality.

He didn't tell Fugaku about these things. The family education she received since childhood did not allow her to do things that would gossip behind other people's backs.

"What's the matter with you, mother?"

Itachi felt his mother touching his head and it hurt the roots of his hair. Seeing that her eyes were dull and seemed like she was thinking about something, he called out to her a few times.

"Oh, sorry, Itachi..."

Mikoto came back to her senses, her eyes became clear, she loosened her hands covering her son's head, stopped, crouched down, and looked Itachi in the eyes.

"Itachi, do you want to become Master Makoto's disciple?"

Just as they were about to reach Kato's house, his mother suddenly stopped. Itachi felt that his mother was hiding something in her heart.

However, after hearing his mother's question, Itachi instantly forgot his doubts and his eyes lit up.

"Mom, is it really possible?"

He still remembered the scene on the battlefield when he asked Kato Makoto how to achieve peace in the ninja world. From then on, he wanted to learn from Kato Makoto.

What's more, he can become the junior fellow of big brother Shisui, so he can legitimately call him brother Shisui.

It was rare to see her son, who was like a little adult, so happy. Mikoto pinched his little face and nodded.

When the two arrived at Kato's house, the person who brought them in was not Nono as Mikoto expected, but Uchiha Shisui.

"The teacher has been unwell recently, so several of us disciples have taken turns to come here to receive instruction."

Shisui had a friendly smile on his face, and when he saw Itachi, his smile deepened.

Itachi's manner of greeting was very formal, not as casual as when the two were alone together. It was obvious that he had been brought up in a very strict family.

"Mikoto-senpai, please follow me."

Shisui led the way. Uchiha Mikoto wanted to ask about Nono's situation, but she didn't say it.

Passing through the corridor and deep into the courtyard, a small open-air training ground comes into view.

Kato Makoto was resting in the pavilion beside the training ground. The view here was wide and he could see everything around him clearly.

When Mikoto approached, she felt a little uneasy, perhaps because of Kuyukina's words, as she had labeled Kato Makoto in her mind.

"Recently, there have been some small-scale conflicts between the Iwagakure ninja and the Kusagakure ninja under our command. There are some orphans with great potential who have no one to adopt them, so Nono rushed over."

Kato Makoto noticed the Uchiha clan leader's wife's reservedness and spoke first to explain.

After taking control of Konoha's education department, Kato Makoto brought some potential children of school age from the orphanage into the ninja system, so that they could be absorbed into several departments under him in the future.

These people call Nono U mom, should they call him dad?

He also worried a lot about these children.

"As for war orphans, Nono will be busy again."

With a common topic, the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.

"This is Itachi, right? Long time no see. You've grown up fast."

Kato Makoto waved his hand, and Mikoto pushed Itachi gently from behind, "Master Makoto is calling you, go quickly."

The little kid, who was less than one meter tall, moved to the side of Kato Makoto's recliner somewhat embarrassedly.

"Even I have heard about your extraordinary performance in the Ninja School. Yes, the future belongs to you young people. Study hard, and you will definitely achieve more than us in the future."

Makoto Kato pinched the child's face and forced a smile manually.

Like Uchiha Fugaku, he has had a serious face since childhood and lacks the liveliness of a child, so he is more fun to tease.

"You're too kind. Brother Shisui taught me all this."

After being kneaded by Kato Makoto, Itachi showed the nature of a child and could not hide anything.

"Shisui, did you teach Itachi to use shadow clones to skip classes?"

Hearing Kato Makoto's question, Shisui, who was standing next to Kato Makoto, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Uh, haha, teacher, Itachi..."

Shisui did not let Itachi use Shadow Clone to skip classes, he just knew about this situation and did not stop it.

He didn't dare lie to the teacher, nor did he want the teacher to have a bad impression of Itachi because of this, so he could only hesitate.

"Well done. Geniuses don't need to follow rules. Just do your superficial work well and you can do whatever you want with your own affairs."

Not only did Kato Makoto not blame him, but he praised his actions.

The practice of shadow clones teaching in class was not invented by them. During the war years, many people did this.

When Shisui and Itachi heard this, they looked at Kato Makoto with even more respect, as if they had found a kindred spirit.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the silver-haired young man in surprise, then she thought, the other party was a genius who graduated from the Ninja School at the age of five. It is possible that he had used shadow clones to skip classes before, and he might be a repeat offender.

Only a teacher with extraordinary talent can inspire Itachi's full potential.

"Shisui, you can teach Itachi my improved Uchiha Sword Leaping Flame Sword Technique. Take him down first."

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Shisui's lips. It seemed that the teacher had a good impression of Itachi. He was really happy for his cousin Itachi.

He turned and nodded to Itachi, motioning for him to follow him, before stepping out of the pavilion and heading towards the training grounds.

Uchiha Mikoto, who was sitting nearby, saw her son walking away with Shisui. She pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, hesitated for a moment and said:

"I heard that you have eye problems. I think I can help."

Seeing that her expression changed from gloomy to bright, and then finally to a firm look, as if she had made some important decision, Kato Makoto was afraid that she might be upset, so he did not refuse.

"Then trouble you."
