[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

Monday, this day is a beautiful day, the sun is shining brightly.

It was only 9 o'clock and the sun was already very warm. Carrying the fresh ingredients he had just bought from the market, Izumi Uchiha wiped the sweat from his forehead and skillfully took out the key from his pocket and opened the door of the clan leader's house.

Uncle Fugaku went to work at the police department, and Little Itachi accompanied Aunt Mikoto to her prenatal check-up. As agreed, she will cook and entertain a guest today.

Pushing open the sliding door and walking into the kitchen, he neatly started to deal with the fresh ingredients and the stock in the refrigerator.Next to the clean sink is a can with a low flame on.The pot of bone broth that has been simmering for a long time is spraying hot air, bringing a hint of summer heat.

Sencha,

kneading noodles,

cut vegetables,

Fillet fish.

The deserted home comes alive with the sound of cutting in the kitchen.

I didn't expect... that I could have such a quiet and leisure time, and I didn't have to worry about it all the time, nor did I have to guess people's hearts.

"Squeak-"

It was the sound coming from the front hall, and the faint chatter and laughter of two women could be heard.

"Sister Quan, we are back."

"Xiaoquan, are you okay? Do you want help?"

"It smells so good. Are all Uchiha's so good at cooking?"

The lively voices poured in, dispelling the haze caused by the previous mission.

"Not yet, Little Weasel, bring the tea out first."

Uchiha Izumi, who was busy getting off the pot, did not look back and let the chubby hands behind her tie her peach blossom apron.

"Sister Quan, remember to wear an apron from now on!"

"I know, by the way, did you choose this color? Do you like peach blossoms?"

Without waiting for an answer, the little dumpling behind him ran away with the tea.

The closed door obscured the laughter inside.

It seems that Aunt Mikoto and Aunt Kushina have a very good relationship.

Shake off the inner happiness and concentrate on dealing with the cuttlefish under his command.

Transparent cuttlefish slices are placed one by one on a black disk, with garnishes and green mustard sauce on the side.Today’s main course is complete.

"Little Weasel, come here and serve the food."

The little dumpling with two dishes in each hand walked out of the kitchen skillfully, and he didn't forget to turn around and remind her, "Sister Quan, look in the mirror if it's convenient."

In the mirror, a tabby cat made of flour looked extremely funny.

This little brat had to wait until the end to remind her!

After washing her face carefully, she was warmly welcomed into the Japanese room.

"Xiaoizumi, thank you for your hard work. Sit down quickly." Mrs. Mikoto, who was pregnant with her belly, patted the empty seat next to her.

"We're all here, let's eat!" The red-haired woman on the side picked up the chopsticks with gleaming eyes.

"Father hasn't..." Xiaotuanzi, who was sitting next to Uchiha Izumi, looked at the empty seat.

"Don't wait, they are going to have tea." The cuttlefish slices are tender and chewy in the mouth, and I think it would go well with tonkotsu ramen.

"Then, let's start dinner. Kyukina, you've been eating a lot lately." My husband also mentioned this to him before going out today, and the guests all used their chopsticks first.There was no reason for them to wait.

"This kid is so troublesome that he hasn't had anything to eat in the past few months. Is your family the same?"

"That's not true. This one is very well-behaved."

"Is it a girl?"

"Maybe……"

"It's brother."

"Little Weasel, are you so sure?"

"I want an Oudou."

……

The food is delicious and the room is warm.

When the clan leader opened the door after getting off work, he saw four people who were well fed and sleeping.

When they heard the door being opened, the two little ones immediately sat down properly.

"Father."

"Uncle Fugaku."

"Ah." Nodding, the serious Uchiha Fugaku remained calm.

"Fugaku, you're in over your head now. Hello everyone, I'm here to pick up Kyukina." The serious clan leader revealed a smiling face, his yellow hair shining in the sun.

Seeing the tall figure of the visitor, Izumi Uchiha reflexively threw himself forward and saluted. "Hello, Hokage-sama."

Minato Minato, who was not wearing the Hokage robe, raised his hand to steady Uchiha Itachi who wanted to follow him in salute. "You're welcome, I'm just here to pick up my wife's husband today." He then patted the person next to him on the shoulder. "Okay, Fugaku, the one you picked is a good cook, and he can actually eat Kushina to the fullest. He's just too well-behaved. Train him well."

Accepting his friend's raised eyebrow, Uchiha Fugaku rarely curled his lips. "Ming's children are always good."

The smiling Hokage entered the room, hugged the sleeping Kyukina, and said goodbye to his friend, "We had a great chat today, and I can't stay here for too long. I will bother you in the future, and so will the little ones. Come to uncle's house to play often."

The two little ones who were named immediately nodded and watched the Fourth Hokage easily pick up his pregnant wife and disappear into the afternoon sunshine.

Recalling the friendliness and mischief of that person who were completely different from those at the office, Uchiha Izumi, who was dizzy from the sultry heat of the afternoon, couldn't help but think -

The new Hokage is also a very energetic person.

Yellow flash, as the name suggests.This adult will definitely bring changes to Uchiha.

The red and white fan emits a warm yellow glow in the sunlight.

"It's so sunny."

"Yes, the sunshine is very good. Xiaoquan, come with me. I heard that you have made new tea." The patriarch who carried Mrs. Mikoto back to the dormitory said calmly.

"Come right away." Alas, the patriarch wanted to drink tea with her again.

The tea room had the same serious atmosphere as always.

Holding the newly made tea, Uchiha Fugaku listened to the girl's report calmly.

"...In short, that's it. Both teammates are very strong. In addition to strong strength, Sarutobi-sensei will also teach us some reconnaissance and anti-tracking skills." Ordinary ninja teams don't have to learn so finely. The team is quite demanding.As he spoke, Izumi Uchiha couldn't help but express his inner doubts, "So, is there anything special about our team?"

"Your first team mission is to escort the items to the designated area and complete the meeting in the contract. You also completed an additional reconnaissance mission. Let's see what the nature of your second and third major missions will be. By then , you can understand it without me having to say it.”

"Yes. I will develop my own talents well."

The road ahead is unclear, so you must first strengthen yourself.Uchiha Izumi, who was thinking about going back to read a few more pages of medical books, was stopped by the clan leader who raised his hand as soon as he stood up.

"This is not the main reason why I came to you today."

Uchiha Izumi sat back and waited quietly for the next step.But the other party didn't speak for a long time, as if hesitating.

In the sultry night of early summer, the chirping of cicadas was still faint.The cool breeze passed through the window, making her sweat.

Inexplicably, she feels that this matter is important. I wonder if she will be informed, and... how much she will be informed.

It was late at night and the tea in my hand was getting cold.

When the wind picked up again in the middle of the night, a calm voice finally came: "I have reached a consensus with the Hokage-sama that the powers of the police department will be reduced in the near future and people with foreign surnames will be gradually absorbed."

Facing the surprise and doubt in the girl's eyes, Uchiha Fugaku continued, "If we want to integrate into the village, we must give up something."

"Then, where is the elder..."

"I will be responsible for convincing them at the assembly. This is the best time. It is rare that Hokage-sama is willing to sit down and have a good talk with us."

"I will perform well." The clan leader said that she must also complete the second and third tasks well in order to pass the inspection period.

"Don't be too nervous. You have done a good job. As long as there are no mistakes in the subsequent big tasks, it is unlikely that you will be replaced."

Uchiha Fugaku finished the tea in the cup. He was so thirsty today that he didn't pay attention to whether the tea was good or not.He looked at the girl opposite who had her head lowered, as if she was waiting for his compliment——

He didn't pay attention to taste it, so he really couldn't say it.

After hesitating for a moment, the words in his mouth were changed to questions——

"I heard that you like Uchiha Inari very much?"

"Ah?" Izumi Uchiha was really stunned this time. Where did she think about falling in love?

After confirming that the girl's eyes were blank and not shy, Uchiha Fugaku silently breathed a sigh of relief, "Although they are all from the Uchiha family, Inabi's position is different from ours. If you... really like it in the future, just Talk to uncle in advance. I will try my best to deal with it."

"I understand, thank you uncle for your concern." It's too early to worry about this now, and she can't make the decision herself.

Watching the lights in the main hall go out, she turned to the right at the end of the corridor.There are two rooms here, one is reserved for the future child, and the other is for the little kid who just went to the toilet three times and passed the main hall three times.

Button - She knocked on the door gently, knowing that he must not be sleeping. "Next time you want to know, just ask your dad directly."

We all know it without having to pass by it so many times.

"..."

There was no reply from the door, so Uchiha Izumi assumed that the child understood.Turning around and preparing to rest, he found that the door next to him opened a small crack, revealing a head of smooth black hair.

"Sister Quan," there was a question he had been wondering about for a long time, but he decided to ask it in a different way. "Which one do you think is more important, the one on the forehead or the one on the back?"

She subconsciously touched her forehead. She was on vacation today, so she didn't wear a forehead protector, but the clan emblem on the back of her clothes was always there.Has Little Weasel already thought that deeply?

"Pa—" flicked the other person's forehead.

"It hurts." The boy covered his forehead with his chubby little hands.

"Thinking so much makes you grow old easily." The girl's eyes were filled with stars.The moonlight was dim, and the young boy could not clearly see the expression on her face, but the words that followed made it clear.

"Why should we distinguish it so clearly? We are the Uchiha of Konoha."

She had had such doubts before and struggled with them.But the adult who solved her doubts made it clear, "Congratulations on your graduation, Izumi Uchiha of Konoha."

When the sunshine of Konoha comes, they can be warmed together.
