Uchiha Jin did not hesitate.

Regarding this proposal from Itachi, he didn't even give it a second thought before directly and forcefully interrupting him.

Are you kidding me!

As a child, what do you want to do if not stay in school?

Yes.

Regarding the education of the Uchiha Itachi before him, he followed the education of his past life strictly.

This, there's no way around it!

The advantage of this child Itachi is that he is smart, but the disadvantage is that he is too smart for his own good.

If one is not careful, it is easy to go to extremes.

Therefore, for Itachi's education, it is enough to just grasp the word "steady."

As long as he takes it one step at a time, walks every step steadily, and forms a set of his own values, then his future achievements will not be bad.

So.

Looking at the dejected Itachi before him, Jin thought for a long time before continuing to speak.

"Itachi, don't get a headache."

"Actually, I really am doing this for your own good. Since you, little guy, are smart, I will explain the reason to you."

"Do you often think that you are the smartest among your peers and that other children seem too stupid?"

Hearing these words, Itachi became serious.

This is also the reason why he likes this teacher, Jin; it is because Jin will not be like his father, who only uses a harsh tone to make him obey orders, but instead, when he doesn't understand, will explain it to him very seriously.

So.

He nodded solemnly before speaking with a hint of helplessness.

"Yes."

"These classmates are too childish; I can't talk to them."

"School life for me is like being in hell!"

Uchiha Jin nodded slightly.

Looking at the serious little face of Itachi before him, he remained silent for a long time before continuing to speak.

"Are you very proud?"

"Especially when among these peers, is there a hidden feeling in your heart of a superior looking at an inferior?"

"No need to deny it, there definitely is!"

Itachi nodded, not denying it.

Because when dealing with this teacher, he truly let his guard down and would not have any pretense.

Uchiha Jin, however, couldn't help but sigh softly at this.

He turned his head to look at the young Itachi before him, his eyes filled with a kind of helplessness and pity.

Yes.

It is, pity!

Perhaps Itachi is indeed smarter than his peers, but in Uchiha Jin's eyes, this is not something worth being happy about.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke faintly.

"Perhaps you, Itachi, feel that this is a manifestation of strength."

"But in reality, this is also what I worry about most regarding you."

"Your advantage is that you are smart, but your disadvantage is that you are too smart."

"Let me teach you a saying: the clever are often victims of their own cleverness, and it ends up costing them their lives!"

"In my view, this is the most dangerous part of you."

"Although you seem very smart, you lack the innocence of a child, which is equivalent to a huge chunk of your life being missing."

"This is not right!"

"When building a house, the foundation is the most important thing."

"And your cleverness has led you to have no foundation at all; instead, you have skipped this stage entirely."

"Although these shortcomings are not yet apparent, as you grow older, this defect will begin to become more and more serious."

"It will make you go to extremes, make you short-sighted in your actions, and make it difficult for you to view various problems in life from a global perspective."

"This is also the reason why I still let you stay in the Ninja Academy even though I see you are suffering."

"Precisely because of this deficiency of yours, you must make up for it all the more."

"Learn the innocence of those children, even participate in those seemingly unreliable entertainment activities of theirs, and it doesn't even matter if you cause trouble because of it."

"Itachi, believe your teacher; these things will become your most precious wealth in the future."

"Clan Head Fugaku is actually asking you to compare yourself with Kakashi, right?"

"But you might not know that Kakashi is a pitiful person, and also a lucky one."

"Sometimes, Kakashi is even very similar to you."

"Equally precocious, equally disdainful of communicating with peers."

"So he left the Ninja Academy in one year, and because of his father's suicide, his personality became extreme."

"He joined many squads, but in the end, he was shunned; no one recognized him, and on the contrary, they disliked him very much."

"Because of the lack of necessary childhood education, his personality became extremely unstable, and even like us in the Uchiha, he basically reached the level of being hated by everyone."

"His life is a tragedy."

"But, likewise."

"Kakashi is also a very lucky person; although his father Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, he left him with rich connections and assets."
