[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

After the summer festival, except for Shisui who was idle at home, she and her aunt became extremely busy.The practice of taijutsu has also improved a lot under the guidance of Shisui, and his shadow is becoming more and more involved.

But what worries her is that the rumors that should have weakened over time not only did not disappear, but spread faster, and she could even feel the unfriendly eyes of others towards Shisui.But when I asked him about it, he always touched his curly hair and said with a smile that it was fine, just treat it as a long vacation.Then he shamelessly asked her for money to buy the ingredients and make a dinner that only looked like grilled fish.

As the days went by, Shisui became more and more like a househusband.

Uchiha Izumi was really worried this time as he followed the team back to the village absentmindedly.Brother Shisui is cooking more and more, but there is still no tendency to resume work. What is the attitude of Hokage-sama?

Although Shisui was still smiling at the dinner table the day he left home, there was nothing wrong with him.But she just felt that Uchiha Shisui shouldn't be so unknown. He should return to the vast world that belongs to him.He was supposed to be the dazzling, intimidating Shunshen Shisui.

The consequence of being distracted for a time was that she almost missed her step while walking through the woods, leaving her footprints on the slippery moss.

"School girl!" Yu Hayata, who followed closely, grabbed her hand firmly and stopped her falling.

"What's wrong?" After completing a somewhat relaxed scroll escort mission, the seventh team was on its way back to the village.Seeing that his only female disciple unexpectedly fell off a tree branch, he couldn't help but frowned, "Did the situation from that day happen again?"

"No," Uchiha Izumi, who came back to his senses, relied on Hayata Yu's support to regain his footing on the tree, "I was not careful. There is nothing wrong with my body." He twisted his ankle, only to find that it had already A little bruised.

"Senior sister, let me carry you." She hesitated slightly as she watched her teammates squat down to reveal their thin backs.

She didn't want to be...so squeamish.

"Don't hesitate, we can double the mission reward if we go back early." Hinata Qing urged as he stretched.

But she remained motionless.

In the end, Mr. Sarutobi carried him back.Lying on the broad and warm shoulders again, Uchiha Izumi felt that there was something that he might want to ask his teacher.

After a few jumps, the gap between the few people widened again, maintaining the formation for the final sprint towards Konoha Village.

Hayata Yu who followed behind held the kit in his arms tightly.

The exquisite brocade bag contained the Peace Guard of the Fire Temple. Although the wind was a bit loud when the girl handed it over, and her gentle voice could not be heard clearly, he would not forget the joy and concern in his eyes.

After receiving two peace charms in succession, he had not been cared for like this by others for a long time after growing up in darkness.

Konoha's 48th Special Team Seventh.

"Very good, another perfect mission."

When he submitted the mission report, he received praise from the staff. Seeing the red seal stamped on the header of the four-member team, Izumi Uchiha shook his head and shook off the doubts in his mind, and he reached out to accept the mission with his teammates. remuneration.

It’s not very generous, but it’s fine for a barbecue or two.

However, they failed to get what they wanted. Sarutobi-sensei, who had become very picky since they fell in love, refused the offer of having a dinner at a barbecue restaurant to drain his wallet, and disappeared with his new reward.

"Hey, are you so helpless after falling in love? It seems that the teacher is not as cool as before." Hinata Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher, it was called luxury before, not chic." Yu Hayata added sharply.

"Yeah, at least I didn't spend money to buy some luxury tents in vain," Izumi Uchiha nodded in agreement, "The real estate investment in Konoha seems to be quite high, right? It's normal for the teacher to search for something. Maybe there will be good news soon. .”

"What about us, do you want to go have a meal?" Hinata Qing, who crossed his arms and walked backwards to chat with his teammates, made a tempting suggestion.

"I still have something to do..." Yu Hayata shook his head, "Let's do it next time." This is the time to report to that adult every month.He was already several days late because of the mission.

"What a coincidence, I also have something to do." Before she received the mission and left the village, she knew that Mrs. Mikoto's due date was coming soon. The patriarch's family should have had a baby by now, so she should go and take a look.

Under the big tree in front of the Hokage Tower, the three of them said goodbye.Team [-], which had never been able to gather together after the mission, was scattered again.

Walking leisurely on the streets of Konoha, watching the familiar and unfamiliar villagers busy, and the shops on the street are also very lively.She couldn't help but sigh, peaceful times are really good.

"Uchiha Izumi?"

An unfamiliar voice came from the flower shop nearby.

She turned around and saw the two opponents she had fought equally with half a year ago.

Yamanaka Kumoya and Akimichi Kwai.

The two of them each held a bouquet of flowers. Adolescent girls always grow up quickly.After not seeing each other for half a year, the two of them have lost a lot of weight, especially Akimichi. There are a few cute freckles on her chubby face, giving her a bit of a girlish look.

"Well, it's me. Long time no see. Are you... planning to confess?" Uchiha Izumi turned back and stared at the flowers in their hands.

"Definitely not! I want chocolates for confessing!" Yamanaka Yunya's temper has not changed at all, he is anxious and violent.

"We are going to see Fujiwara Reiko, do you want to come together?"

____________

Only when she was walking down the street with her two former rivals, holding a bouquet of flowers, did she understand the situation of the other three girls in the past six months.

Yamanaka Yunya and Akimichi Aoi, who were born in a family of ninjas, recovered quickly and returned to the ninja school to study. Having passed the exams and practice, they will graduate this fall and become genin like her.

But Fujiwara Reiko was different. She was a commoner and was able to break through the siege and become the original candidate because of her outstanding illusion talent.But the prognosis of her treatment was not good, she lost her only specialty, and her ninjutsu and taijutsu became mediocre.He had dropped out of ninja school three months ago and started a new weaving and embroidery shop on Mulan Street with his only grandma.

"Her shop originally opened last month, but the news was hidden well, and we only found out about it recently." Qiu Daokui walked at the front with a familiar face, "My mother said that the girl in this newly opened shop is very good at craftsmanship. , I knew it was her."

"Do you think she will meet me?" Yamanaka Yun, who has always been straightforward, became hesitant. In the final analysis, she was the one who ruined Reiko's chance to become a ninja.

"Yes, she should have already thought about it when she dropped out of the ninja school." Grabbing Yamanaka Yunya's trembling hand, Uchiha Izumi pulled her into the inconspicuous shop.

It looks inconspicuous on the outside, but actually it has something going on inside.Turning around a screen, you can see pieces of exquisite fabrics on display, as well as exquisite pieces of ready-made clothing hanging on the wall.

There is a red sandalwood teapot on the table for guests, and the incense burning beside it exudes a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.A tank of goldfish placed on the shelf is blowing bubbles leisurely, adding a touch of vitality to the store.

Very familiar and tastefully appointed.

"Is there anyone there?" Qiu Daokui couldn't help but lower her voice and asked.

No one responded, but a "ta-da-da" sound came from the back room.

The three girls who walked around the counter looked inside and saw a rickety old man sewing clothes with needle and thread in his withered and rough hands.The sunlight through the gauze curtain also becomes softer. Under such light and shadow, a pair of needles and threads seem to be chasing a dancing fairy, tiptoeing and leaving golden footprints on the blue cloth.

"It's so beautiful." They couldn't help but say, but the old man in front of the window did not look back. He was still concentrating on threading the needle and threading. From time to time, he would step on it with his feet, and the wheels of the sewing machine would start to rotate.

"You are..." They were fascinated by the sound and turned around to see Reiko Fujiwara who was going out to buy goods.

She was still wearing exquisite and gorgeous clothes, her hair had been tied up, and she was holding several pieces of pure white cloth in her hands.

Blinking her eyes, the girl finally recognized that the person in front of her was her former classmate from the ninja school. "It's Yun Ye, Xiao Kui and..." The words broke off at this point.

"I'm Uchiha Izumi, whom we met last time during the Graduation Challenge. Although it's a little late, congratulations on opening a store." After saying this, she handed the flowers in her hand forward.

Seeing this, the other two people also stepped forward to hand over flowers.

"Ha, thank you. You even brought flowers. You are so considerate. Come out and have some tea first. My grandma is like this when she is busy, and her hearing is not very good."

The tea brewed in the red sandalwood pot was very delicious. After a few sips, several old classmates started chatting.

"The decoration here is so beautiful. I heard from my mother that this store is also famous among ladies."

"Reiko, you are so awesome!"

"My family originally had an embroidery shop, I just rearranged it."

"The layout is very good. Business will be better in the future."

"Then I would also like to trouble you to promote it more with your family members. We can modify, make, and customize clothes."

"Definitely."

"Of course!"

"Okay."

……

When he was about to leave, Yamanaka Yunya still said the reason for his visit tremblingly, "Reiko, I am really, really sorry. It was me who was too competitive and deprived you of the opportunity to become a ninja..."

"It's not deprivation," the girl smiled, with two shallow dimples around her mouth. "I am not suitable to be a ninja in the first place. I am useless except for illusions. It was you who made me see the reality clearly earlier." Fujiwara Reiko patted the girl's hand and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "Stop crying. He's going to be a ninja. Come on, let's hook him up."

Two pairs of slender hands were in the air, their thumbs touching, "You are responsible for protecting us civilians, and I am responsible for sewing the most beautiful Bai Wu Guan for you!"

"Ah."

"This makes us all ashamed."

"Be sure to tell me if you have any good news, discount."

……

The untied Yamanaka Yunya took the hands of the two friends and went back happily, and the three of them said goodbye at the intersection.

Uchiha Izumi, who continued to walk towards the clan, slowly recalled the agreement just now and smiled silently. She suddenly understood a lot of things.

As she walked, she quickly entered the clan area. With her sharp eyes, she noticed that the figure in front of her was carrying a bag of tomatoes and holding a child, which looked familiar.

"Little Weasel."

The boy who heard the shout turned around. The baby in his hand seemed to be frightened. His mouth was flattened to stop crying, and he looked unhappy.

Uchiha Izumi lowered his head and looked carefully at the little one who still smelled like milk in his arms. He had two round cheeks and thick black hair. He looked very much like Mrs. Mikoto, "Sister?"

"younger brother."

"Can I give you a hug?"

"No." The boy looked at his unhappy brother in his arms and rarely rejected the girl's request.

"Why?" Uchiha Izumi's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

"I don't want to make him cry."

"The baby won't cry." She didn't believe in evil and gently hugged the newly born second son of the Uchiha family. After all, she had learned it at the Konoha Orphanage, and her techniques were absolutely professional.

"Woah woah woah————!!!" A shocking cry came. The chubby baby had a look of rejection, and her young hands pushed her cheek hard.

Uchiha Itachi, who was used to it, quickly picked up Oudou, who was crying again, and coaxed softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, darling, this is your Izumi sister, don't cry." The baby in his arms immediately grinned sweetly. He smiled sweetly and waved his little hands happily.

Bypassing the petrified girl, Uchiha Itachi continued to walk home.

"Look, it's another person rejected by the second young master."

"As long as the second young master is hugged by his brother, he will definitely cry loudly if others hug him."

"Listen to this cry, it's louder than when I hugged you!"

"..."

Uchiha Izumi, whose self-confidence was frustrated, went to the patriarch's house for several days to brush his face in front of the second young master who had not yet been named.But it turns out - it's useless.

This child is even more arrogant than his brother. Except for his own brother, he will cry when hugged by anyone. Even Uncle Fugaku will be unhappy if he hugs him.He clings to no one, but his brother the most.

He peeled off the White Rabbit milk-flavored kraft candy that he was going to use to flatter his face today and put it into his mouth. While tasting it, he looked at the second young master who had just woken up from his nap and was rolling around on the ground.

Why does she feel that this kid doesn't like her very much? It's probably not an illusion. Anyone who competes with him probably doesn't like her.

Brushing his face for so long only delayed the little kid's crying time.

No, she could tell from his expression when he was ready to cry.

Sighing, he covered his ears with his hands, preparing to fight against the shocking cry from the second young master.Unexpectedly, he heard giggles. Uchiha Izumi turned around in confusion. Following the footsteps came Uchiha Itachi who had finished his training.

This kid is really amazing, Brother Tingyinben!

Uchiha Izumi bit down on the toffee in his mouth depressedly, tut, it was so sweet that it was so sweet and sticky, just like the little kid in front of him, sweet and sticky.
