[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

Hidden Leaf Village

"From now on, you are Uchiha Izumi, and your future guardian will be your uncle. The place you are going to is called Konoha Hidden Village."

Recalling his father's instructions before his death, Izumi Uchiha steadily followed the man in the green vest.There was a gentle breeze and just the right amount of sunshine in the dense jungle of the Land of Fire.Is this... her future residence?

"Xiaoquan, you're tired, let's take a rest." The man next to him had a lumpy nose, black curly hair, and a face that was exactly like his father.

Uchiha Yue looked at the stubborn little girl beside him and sighed silently.The only bloodline left by his brother, an orphan with an unknown biological mother, and a second magatama sharingan at a young age... Returning to a family that values ​​bloodlines, is this a blessing or a misfortune?

The girl who was not yet 6 years old silently took the kettle handed over by Yue Uchiha and drank the few drops of water left in the kettle.

"Uncle, there is no water. I will go to the side to get some water."

"Want me to accompany you?"

"Uncle, I want to go by myself."

The girl's delicate face is reflected in the clear spring water. Her short brown hair is fluttering in the wind, and her eyes are like clear springs under her overly long bangs.

Wow - Silently filling the kettle with water, Quan rubbed his sore legs.He could have been carried back all the way, but since he passed the last town before reaching Konoha Hidden Village, Izumi insisted on walking the rest of the journey by himself.

I want to live alone and be a strong ninja.

"I only hoped that you would be able to protect yourself, but these eyes... are destined to make you a ninja. Well, this is your biggest asset when you return to that family." So... Father, the family that you are desperately trying to stay away from. What is it like?

"Uncle..." The girl hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question she wanted to ask the most along the way, "Uchiha, what kind of family are they?"

Uchiha Yue was a little surprised, "Didn't father tell you?"

"No... I should always live with my mother, and my father will come over occasionally." When mentioning her mother, the young Quan bit her lip. She had lost many memories of her mother.

……

"The Uchiha clan is good at fire escape and uses the Sharingan as the limit of blood succession. The clan has a special settlement. They have always intermarried within the clan to maximize their blood succession ability. Currently, they are directly responsible for the Konoha Guard."

"Then...what will they think of me like this?" Quan nervously scratched the corners of his clothes.

"Your father is one of the direct guards of the Third Hokage. Although he has a bad relationship with the clan, don't worry, I will apply to Hokage-sama to be your guardian." He touched the girl's soft brown hair and said, "Koizumi is so good. So cute, Auntie and Shisui will be very happy."

New family?Looking forward to it...

After shaking off the ashes from the smoke, the Sandaime Hokage, who was getting stronger and stronger, slowly blew out a smoke ring, sighing faintly in his heart.

"Is this Ming's daughter?"

"Yes, please allow me to be her guardian, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Yue lowered his head deeply.This is my brother's only child and cannot fall into the hands of others.

"Ha, I heard that this child is already a magatama?" The middle-aged man wearing a bandage next to him revealed a hint of curiosity, "Kid, how did you open your eyes?"

He is so strong that he cannot lie, otherwise he will die. "I didn't realize I had this ability until my mother... passed away." Cold sweat began to break out on Quan's forehead while he was kneeling on the floor.

"What's your mother's name?" The Uchiha clan leader, who was called to the Hokage's office early in the morning, finally spoke.

"I... don't know. My eyes hurt, and then my father said I couldn't carry this memory with me."

Seal the memory?What kind of woman would make the elite of the Uchiha clan, the captain of the Hokage's guard, prefer to reject intermarriage and marriage within the clan and stay clean?

"The child should have a family, Uchiha Yue, raise her well." The middle-aged man wearing a white robe and a Hokage hat made the final decision.

The sun at 9 o'clock in Konoha was warm but not dazzling. Three people, one big and one small, walked to the Uchiha clan's land in the bustling area of ​​the village.

"Izumi, is your mother a ninja?" Uchiha Fugaku continued to ask.As the leader of a clan, although his thoughts are not that radical, it is not easy to deal with the elders who only believe in blood, especially... Looking at the little girl, her brown hair and delicate face are different from those of the Uchiha clan.There are often rumors in the clan that the rebellious Uchiha Akira has found a woman from a land of fireworks and willows. This is not a good thing.

"Father said that mother is a great doctor." The girl's clear eyes were filled with pride.

"Thank you, clan leader, for agreeing to take in Koizumi. I'll take her home first. Keiko is still waiting for us." Uchiha Yue took Izumi's hand and protected her behind him.

"Well, remember not to waste her talent. This is what the other elders also want. Get ready. Remember to take her to the ancestral hall to read the genealogy during the New Year's reunion." Uchiha Fugaku's back gradually faded away.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.If you want to gain the protection of your family and village, you must be a useful person.This is the bondage that you, father...have always wanted to escape, and your daughter has to step into it.
