Opening his eyes, Uchiha Izumi stared at the roof in a daze for a while. As her consciousness gradually cleared, she remembered that she fell asleep after taking medicine. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the door. The weather had been gloomy these past few days, and the dim light struggled to pass through the door, barely lighting up the bedroom.

I don’t know when it was.

After slowing down for a while and gathering enough strength, Uchiha Izumi stood up from the bed in one go. Now that I feel a little better, let's go out for a walk.

After leaving the room door, the courtyard was quiet.

Uchiha Izumi turned left and right skillfully, and finally stopped at the small training ground at home.

"Father." Seeing the middle-aged man standing aside and doing nothing, Uchiha Izumi breathed a sigh of relief and mustered up the courage to step forward and say hello.

Uchiha Tajima had long noticed his daughter's movement, but when he heard his daughter calling him, he just turned his head reluctantly without even moving his body. Uchiha Tajima looked his daughter up and down, "Are you awake? When you wake up, go back and have a good rest."

After saying that, Uchiha Tajima turned his head and continued to look at his sons on the training ground, "Don't be distracted! Continue training!"

Several children who had stopped because of the arrival of Uchiha spring water returned to their respective training positions under the command of their father before they came over.

Her brother gave her a look, Uchiha Izumi waved quietly, and then left silently.

Except for the training ground, the rest of the house is empty.

After wandering around aimlessly, the Uchiha spring water returned to his room.

In the past, she always followed her mother when she was alive. Later, when her mother was gone, she was moved out of her mother and father's yard. But as a girl, she couldn't live with her brothers, not even her compatriot Izuna, so she could only stay in a courtyard by herself.

The brothers are all busy, busy with missions and training. No one has a chance to be lazy, except for Izuna who often sneaks over before going to bed. She is the only one in this spacious yard most of the time.

oh. The Ninja cats would come to see her occasionally, but the aunts who took care of the house felt that they were shedding hair everywhere, so they didn't like their frequent visits. Naturally, the ninja cats don't care what the aunts think, they just come and jump when they want. But she fell ill again a few days ago. After the aunts specifically mentioned this matter in front of her father, his father personally ordered the ninja cats not to disturb her recovery.

As for my father, the ninja cats still have to show some respect. Uchiha Izumi hasn't seen them for half a month, and he still misses them very much. Fortunately, she is now cured, so she can ask Quan Nai to tell them the news and wait for them to come and play with her.

As for matters at home, there are fixed clan members responsible for household chores, and Uchiha Izumi also wanted to help out and do something. However, seeing her appear by the sink in the kitchen, the tribesmen would laugh and let her go.

"Just leave these things to us. The spring is still small, so you can go and play by yourself."

"That's right, you are not in good health. Don't worry about these things. Go and rest. Don't let Mr. Tajima worry."

Uchiha Izumi didn't want to cause trouble to others, so he could only return to the room obediently.

Yes, her father is very busy, and so are her brothers. She can't help with anything, let alone let them worry anymore.

For other girls in the clan, Uchiha Izumi no longer goes to them.

The older one has already started to help with household chores and has no time to talk to the younger sister. When the children were young, they occasionally played inappropriately. After a friend accidentally knocked over the Uchiha spring water, the adult of the family gave the child a lesson that day, and then nervously came to the door to apologize to Uchiha Tajima.

As the leader of the clan, Uchiha Tajima would naturally not do anything to his clan and its children because of such a trivial matter. It's just that Uchiha Izumi still remembers the way her father looked at her at that time. It was disappointment that could not be concealed, or was not concealed at all.

And since then, the children have begun to avoid the Uchiha spring water intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of accidentally hurting her and being punished by their parents.

It seemed like she would only cause trouble wherever she went. In that case, she might as well stay in the room.

Since there was nothing else to do, Uchiha Izumi picked up a book and went to the corridor, and continued to learn to read in the not-too-dark sky.

That's right, learn to read. This is another place where Uchiha Izumi is different from other girls in the clan.

Everyone can speak, and young children slowly acquire complex expressions. But the adults' requirements for girls are almost completely different from those for boys. Not to mention Uchiha Izumi's poor health, even for other healthy girls in the clan, their families don't bother to arrange for them to learn how to recognize each other every day. Character.

Uchiha Tajima has too many things to worry about. After his wife is gone, it will be difficult for him to devote more energy to taking care of his daughter. It was arranged that the tribesmen would be responsible for her food and drink, her daughter wouldn't have to worry about housework, and someone would take care of her when she was sick, so that was all. As long as his daughter stays at home, he can continue to immerse himself in family affairs.

As for learning, Uchiha Tajima was like the fathers of this era. What should girls learn? Cooking, sewing, accounting, housework, taking care of children... When my daughter grows up, I can just find a tribesman to teach her.

And books, what does that have to do with girls? Among ninjas like the Uchiha, even boys don't spend too much time on books, as long as they can understand the mission statement, and those more elegant poems are not what they should indulge in. If you have that much time, wouldn't it be nice to practice two more sets of shuriken on the training ground?

Therefore, even though the Uchiha group has a long history and there are actually many books in the clan, few members of the clan visit them.

Flipping through the book, Uchiha Izumi started reading from the first page.

This was brought to her specially by Quan Nai. It was a collection of stories that he had read when he was learning to read. The complicated words on it were all phonetic and there were many careful annotations.

If she really didn't understand something, Quan Nai promised her, "I'll come back and explain it to you tonight."

But how much time can I have in the evening? Even though the other older brothers acquiesced to Quan Nai coming here at night and would cover for them in front of their father, Quan Nai had to undergo a lot of training every day, from morning to night, and often couldn't tell her anything. After a few words, I can't help but yawn.

It’s better not to delay Quan Nai’s rest.

Uchiha Izumi only asked one or two questions at a time, and after asking, he urged Izuna to go back and rest quickly. Anyway, she only learned it to pass the time, and no one needed her to do anything.

Learn slowly, learn slowly.

However, no matter how slow I am, I have already finished reading the entire book. But there are no other new ones in Senna's place. The other one in his hand is still being read by himself.

Go find the other brothers?

Uchiha Izumi shook his head in his heart, let's forget it. Except for the eldest brother, the other three brothers don't like to read, but if they go to find the eldest brother, they will definitely alarm the father. After all, the father values ​​the eldest brother the most. If it alarmed his father, he would probably frown again.

Forget it.

I patiently read the book from beginning to end again, and all the few words were imprinted in Uchiha Izumi's mind. Closing the page, Uchiha Izumi looked up at the sky.

The sky outside the eaves has turned dark gray, the clouds are low, and a storm is coming.

The light was no longer suitable for reading, but it was not yet dinner time. Izumi Uchiha put the book away and sat on the porch to watch the changes in the clouds in the sky.

The women in the tribe usually only eat two meals, and only the men who have worked hard to train for the mission eat three meals. However, Uchiha Izumi had been in poor health since she was a child and had eaten very little at every meal. When her mother was here, she would give her an extra meal every day, and her father didn't say anything. Now that her mother is gone, this habit has still been preserved, and the clan members who take care of the housework will prepare an extra meal for her.

It's just that her mother is gone. Except for the morning meal where she can eat with her father and other brothers, she is alone the rest of the time.

When their father and brothers were at home, they ate the other two meals quickly because they had to take a break to continue training or do other things. Of course, more often than not, they are out on missions.

Even Izuna is no exception. Quan Nai was only born a little earlier than her, and he just celebrated his fifth birthday not long ago, but he has already started to experience some less difficult tasks with the tribe.

The tribesmen who take care of her also have their own families to take care of. Every time they finish their housework, they will leave in a hurry after just a few words of explanation. Uchiha Izumi stayed alone in the courtyard. She would not go anywhere else in the house. That was where her father and brothers were trained to handle affairs, and she was not suitable to go there.

It was so quiet.

Even the birds have flown away.

The clouds in the sky were thick and black.

Uchiha Izumi closed his eyes and began to control his breathing, feeling his traces disappear into the courtyard and becoming one with nature.

The wind was blowing, the branches were swaying, the leaves were rustling, a drop of rain fell on the ground, and a cat kicked off the roof in the northeast...

Suddenly, Uchiha Izumi stood up suddenly and turned around. At the same time, he instantly drew out the short knife he carried with him and silently approached the door.

Looking carefully, a dark hole suddenly appeared in the house?

My father and brothers are still in the training ground and have not moved. My father is such a powerful ninja. Didn't he sense the changes here?

Just as Uchiha Izumi was about to cry out for help, two things popped out of the black hole and rolled to her feet. Then, a strange object also fell out, but fortunately it didn't make too much noise.

The black hole disappeared silently. The two things on the ground just lay there, breathing up and down, but there was no movement for a while. The strange thing looked a little damaged, and it also gave off a strange sense of energy that Uchiha spring water had never felt before.

Uchiha Izumi planned to wait and see before deciding whether to disturb his father.

What are these two...things? One yellow and one blue, they are definitely not human.

What magical animal is it? cat? It doesn't seem very similar. Where can such a big cat exist?
