[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

"Cha, cha, cha"

The weather was fine, and a pair of birds with pointed beaks and long tails landed on the windowsill. Their black feathers were healthy and bright, with white on their backs and bellies mixed in.

"It looks like there's no big problem." After holding the girl's hand and examining it for a long time, the boy finally came to a conclusion.

"Why is there a problem? It's just a burn. It's been a few days and it should have been cured long ago." The girl who took back her hand patted the pouting little Sasuke in her arms.

"You still have to be careful." Itachi Uchiha put the medicine back into the box and put it in the cabinet.

After returning from her last mission, her finger tendons were affected. If the recovery effect is not good and inflammation occurs again, the sensitivity of the seal will be greatly affected.

"Ooooo, ooooo -" Little Sasuke stared at the two birds on the window sill and screamed indistinctly, grabbing them here and there with his young hands.

"Little Sasuke is finally willing to hug me," Izumi Uchiha held the little baby in his arms and turned around a few times, looking towards the window sill.

"This is the bird that brings good news. It seems that there is something happy in your family today."

"Well, father and mother look very happy too." Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement. He had not seen his parents smile so relaxedly for a long time.

"Is it because of Sasuke's naming?"

"That's right. Mother said she was going to visit a noble person today."

"Your Excellency?" The girl's brown eyes rolled, remembering the scene when she saw off the two adults at the ancestral hall that day.

That day the sky was blue and the clouds were light and the wind was gentle.

After the meeting, the two Hokages walked out of the dark ancestral hall. When the door of the living room opened, warm sunlight shone into the room that had not seen light for a long time. The red and white Uchiwa family crest finally no longer looked lonely.

"Uchiha and Senju, the two sides who should not have crossed paths, work together to protect the peace of Konoha Village until today. I believe this forever will continue."

"We will believe in such peace just as we believe in you, sir."

She seemed to have the answer in her mind. "That's a good thing, so they came to announce the good news today."

Creak - the sound of the door being opened startled the couple on the window sill. After a few chirps, four wet paw prints were left on the window edge.

"Itachi, it's time for us to set off." Uchiha Mikoto, who was neatly dressed and carrying a beautiful food box, was not surprised to see her. "Since Koizumi is here, come with us to see Kushina."

Sure enough.

By the time they arrived at Konoha Hospital, little Sasuke, who was wearing a little blue hat, had already impatiently broken away from her arms and squeezed into his brother's arms.

She had no choice but to carry little Sasuke's going out equipment and follow behind.

Konoha Baby brand absorbent diapers, small blankets, towels, paper towels, wet wipes, replacement clothes, socks, bottles, toys...

Looking at the items in his bag, Izumi Uchiha sighed, "It's not easy to raise a child."

"What?" The boy in front grabbed his brother's hand playing with his hair and turned around to ask.

"Ah, nothing. We're almost there."

Ward No. 9 is located in the core area of ​​Konoha Hospital. Uzumaki Kushina's due date is the end of October, and now is a critical period.Along the way, she could feel the ANBU who were deliberately hidden along the road, guarding key points around the ward one after another.

At such a critical period, I didn't expect Uchiha to be allowed to enter.

It must be because of some verbal agreement reached that day, right?

Uchiha Izumi shook his head and decided not to think about it further.

Shisui has been away from home for the past few days, and she couldn't find anyone if she wanted to ask for confirmation.

In the narrow corridor, I met Dr. Kato and Sister Ujimi, who were walking hand in hand. They were carrying something that was obviously just after a prenatal check-up.

Age is indeed not a problem. She is very happy that sister Ujimi has found the right person.

"You came at just the right time." Ujimi Sanama, the head nurse, stepped aside to make way for them.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's go in."

Kushina had lost a lot of weight as her delivery date was approaching, but her belly was surprisingly large.Her eyes lit up when she saw them behind the door, and she touched her big belly. The once lively and hot woman now had more of the calmness and gentleness of a mother.

"You are here?"

"Yes, this is your favorite salty ramen, I brought it to you."

"Great!" Kushina shook her red hair and sat up.He asked the doctors and nurses to put the table up, took a deep breath of the delicious flavor of the ramen, and opened his chopsticks to try it immediately.

"Slow down, I'll get you a glass of water. The one I made myself is not as salty as Ichiraku's."

"But yours tastes better~ I haven't been able to eat your ramen for a long time."

They were the closest classmates. When they were young, they had longed for group weddings and trips among best friends.But when they all grew up, they had to pretend to be unfamiliar because of some other things, and now the overall situation is stable.They were finally able to talk about the future and the things they had agreed to but had not yet done.

"It's better if you get married early. You've already given birth to two children, and I only have one."

"Eh? It's a headache for both of you. The younger one is too clingy."

"It's not like I'm clinging to you, two are good. I also want to have two and find a companion for Naruto."

"Naruto? The name has been decided?"

"It's decided. It's the protagonist of a book written by Jiraiya-sama. I like it very much."

"Is it so simple?"

"Yeah, we didn't think too much about it and just thought it was good. What's your little one's name?"

"Sasuke."

"It sounds like a very cool name. Is there anything you should pay attention to for such a young child?"

"It's a lot. You need to bring clothes when you go out. You need to change clothes or add more clothes after peeing, dirtying, or getting cold. Bottles and breast milk need to be warmed in advance so that he can drink them when he is hungry. And..." Uchiha Mikoto, who is a mother first. Smiling lightly, she put the same little red riding hood she had received in the stroller she had purchased next to the bed.

"There are so many, I can't remember them. I'm really an unqualified mother just to learn them now."

"No, take your time, you still have a lot of time. When Naruto is born, you will become more and more skilled."

"..."

Next to the two adults chatting animatedly, two children were busy breastfeeding the younger one.

The light yellow breast milk comes in a transparent bottle and gradually decreases as the baby swallows it.

The girl was holding the boy's long hair behind her to avoid little Sasuke's scratching.

After thinking about it, Izumi Uchiha untied his low ponytail, put a red rubber band around his hand, and tied a small knot for the boy.

Then he smoothed his long brown hair and continued to pack the things in the baby bag.

When the two best friends finally finished chatting, the sunshine outside the window also changed from warm to gentle, and the shadows of the trees became longer and longer.

"That's it. Don't shirk it when the time comes."

"No, I have all the hot spring coupons ready. Taking a dip will be good for your postpartum recovery."

"Okay, remember to bring ramen next time you come."

"I won't forget."

The door to the ward slowly closed, covering Kushina's figure trying to wave.

Not far after leaving the ward, he met the Fourth Hokage who came to visit his wife.

"Ah, thank you for coming to visit Kushina. She will be even more irritable when no one comes." Minato Namikaze, who was wearing Hokage's white robe, was carrying his wife's favorite lunch. Kushina, who has always been lively and active, was recently The forced confinement to "nurturing the fetus" increased her appetite and temper.

After saying hello, they saw Uchiha Fugaku under the shade of a tree not far away.

The mature-looking patriarch finally looked less intimidating, and even a little relaxed.

"Go home, Mikoto. Everything is fine." The patriarch who took his wife in his arms was a rare expression of warmth.

"Okay, go home." Uchiha Mikoto nodded and leaned on her husband's shoulder.

The little Sasuke in his arms couldn't hold his brother's hair and pulled his collar, turning a blind eye to his parents who were showing their affection.

The sunshine was beautiful, and the patriarch was very approachable at that time.

But when she sat in the tea room again with a group of unfamiliar people facing the patriarch, she still felt a little stressed.

Click - the door of the tea room was pushed open, Uchiha Shisui, who had just completed his mission, put away his blade, came in and sat down next to her.

The distance was so close that she could even smell the bloody smell attached to the sword.

Uchiha Izumi took a sip of tea in an attempt to dilute the smell that he didn't like.

"Thank you for your hard work. I really have something to do with you today." The clan leader finally spoke after drinking several cups of tea.

"As you can see, our clan has formally reached an agreement with the Fourth Generation. He will fight for our rights at the top, and we also need to show our sincerity there."

"What does this sincerity have to do with us coming here today?" Uchiha Inari asked, and the long wait had made him a little impatient.

"Inari, you have graduated. You are all the youngest generation of Uchiha." Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the teenagers present and made them lower their heads one by one with a coercive look. "What you represent outside is the Uchiha clan. Now that the agreement has been officially signed, we are one and there can be no more differences."

"Excuse me, what do we need to do?" Uchiha Quan felt that it was necessary to end this depressing conversation, or it would be better to go straight to the topic.

"Don't regard yourself as a big family, and don't exclude outsiders. Show our determination to serve as Hokage and serve the village."

"What does this have to do with the Hinata family who always surrender..."

"Uchiha Inari." The clan leader sitting in the middle spoke calmly, "You are juniors, which does not mean you can make decisions. I have negotiated with the elders. If you are not convinced, just ask your grandfather."

"I think it is necessary to maintain the core and cohesion of Uchiha, we..."

"Maintaining the family does not mean rejecting outsiders, nor does it mean bullying others in the name of the family." Uchiha Shisui's calm young voice said the facts that those people did not want to admit.

The words fell to the ground and soon aroused a wave of rebuttals.

"Okay," Uchiha Fugaku raised his eyes and suppressed those slightly dissatisfied voices. "Basically not interacting with others, and having extraordinary skills. How do you think other families will view Uchiha?"

"I will be afraid, I will distrust, I will stay away from him." Izumi Uchiha immediately thought of the answer.

"No matter what, Uchiha is the Uchiha living in Konoha." Uchiha Shisui's words finally made some impulsive people wake up.

No matter what, Uchiha was going to live in Konoha.

Without the protection of the village and the country, the Bloodline will become the most deadly thing.

For example, the Uzumaki clan

Another example is the Kaguya clan.

"So, you understand?"

"Yes." Although they were depressed and a little unconvinced, the younger generation still recognized the facts.

"The future of Uchiha depends on you, so be careful when you act outside."

It was already getting late, and the bluestone road was lined with lanterns with red and white fans.

As she was walking, she was stopped by Uchiha Inari.

"What's the matter?" She had no other contact with this clan brother except for the challenge in her graduation year and the long-extinct rumors.

"Nothing, I just came here to remind you. The clan no longer restricts interactions with outsiders." The 13-year-old Uchiha Inari began to grow his hair longer, which somewhat covered his prominent cheekbones and made him look less fierce.

"I have never excluded outsiders." She walked around Uchiha Inari and continued walking forward.They had different opinions and she had nothing to talk about with him.

As soon as Shisui went out, she was stopped and asked to go first so that she could solve the problem herself.But she was still a little worried.

"What I mean is..." Although Uchiha Inari's voice was low, it was still very clear to her ears, "Marrying with outsiders to show sincerity."

She turned around suddenly and looked at Uchiha Ino's half-smiling face.

Ninjas don't live long, and early marriages are common.

Most of the Uchiha clan got married when they were teenagers, and engagements only occurred earlier.

Currently, there are no more than fifteen girls in the younger generation of Uchiha.And she was the only one called to drink tea today.

"Ha," she suddenly smiled, with a bit of indifference, "not to mention that I am still young and the only female ninja."

"Based on my current job, I won't be easily taken out to show my kindness." Konoha's Special Seventh Team is an extremely special existence. Uchiha will not easily allow her to step down until there is no one to replace their responsibilities. .

"As for Brother Daohuo," the girl suppressed her usual gentle smile, and her brown eyes were cold, "you are not the same as me."

She has no expectations for marriage, but she will never make do with someone who has different aspirations.

Otherwise, one day when the time comes to make a decision, we are destined to face each other with weapons.

Leaving behind Uchiha Inari, who was still in shock, she walked faster and returned to the door soon.

"It's a little late, at your walking speed." The person who asked her to go first was waiting for her in front of the dark door with his hands on his shoulders.

"I met a little annoying kitten, so it's too late." Izumi Uchiha touched his wrist out of habit, then remembered that the red rubber band tying his hair was gone. "Why don't you climb the wall and get in?"

"No, I want to be a good boy." Uchiha Shisui shook his head, his curly hair dangling in the moonlight.Girls don't like boys who climb walls. He really needs to change this bad habit.

"You're aware, come in." Izumi Uchiha inserted the key and opened the door skillfully, then turned around and lit the lantern at the door of his house.

The empty darkness was dispelled, and the lanterns on the Uchiha streets finally formed a complete line.
