[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

"It's been a while since I walked down the street with you like this."

"After all, I am already a genin and have to carry out missions."

"Yes... It has been three years since Uchiha moved here. The senior management expelled Uchiha to the border of the village, forcing Uchiha to lose power. To this day, many people are still dissatisfied... You don't agree with this either. Is that clear?"

"Um…"

"One day, we must take back our authority and return from darkness to the light of day."

"Dad, look." A childish voice interrupted Uchiha Fugaku.

As the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku turned his head and saw the clansmen nodding to him on the street. These were the most ordinary civilians in the clan, and they were not as aggressive as the Uchiha ninjas at the gathering.

It turns out that he is also loved and trusted.

Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, and his eldest son's laughter was heard in his ears.

"why are you laughing?"

Uchiha Itachi suppressed his laughter, narrowed his round eyes, and replied sincerely, "I'm sorry, dad, because dad is the top figure in Uchiha, and I am very proud to be with dad."

"Don't compliment me, I'll buy you whatever you want." As his eldest son, he has always matured earlier than his peers and rarely goes out with him in the past few years.

While he still relies on me, let's satisfy his request.

However, Uchiha Fugaku, who wanted to rekindle the relationship between father and son, was ultimately unable to satisfy his eldest son's hobbies——

Today, the three-color meatballs on Mulan New Street have long been sold out.

"Little Weasel?"

Uchiha Fugaku, who was wondering where to take his eldest son, saw a familiar person.

"Sister Quan."

"Well, I'll leave it to you today Itachi, I still have something to do." Pushing his eldest son forward, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly ended this family journey.

The lake surface was sparkling in the sun, and a trestle made of wooden planks extended to the center of the lake. The two people with the family crest behind them were sitting at the end of the trestle with their legs swinging.

In front of him is a blue lake, followed by a vast grassland, then dense woods and distant mountains obscured by white clouds.

"Is Uncle Fugaku still so busy?" Putting down the last three-color meatballs he just grabbed, Izumi Uchiha looked at the top of the mountain in the mist.

"Well...a lot has happened in the past few months." Uchiha Itachi nodded and followed her gaze into the distance.

In such an empty place, is the existence of Uchiha always unacceptable?

"You finally got to be with dad, don't you need to accompany him back?" Although this little kid seemed very mature, she knew that he had always been the one who was good at hiding his true thoughts.

"No, dad has gone to work overtime. Long time no see, Sister Quan."

"Well, I haven't seen you since you became a genin." When she was in the village, she had been busy with special training in medical ninjutsu and learning mental healing. Due to the special nature of their team, the tasks she had received in the past six months were all After leaving the village, even though the two of them lived not far away, they only met by chance.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't celebrate you at that time." Neither Shisui nor she found a chance. "I couldn't even say a word of congratulations. I'm really sorry."

"There's no need to apologize so many times." Uchiha Itachi shook his head, very sensible, "You and Brother Shisui are both busy, it's okay."

"Little Itachi, don't be so sensible. These are your favorite three-color meatballs. Try it?" Izumi Uchiha touched his still smooth hair and handed him a bunch of three-color meatballs. "Even if you have excellent grades, are versatile in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, and are an elite boy from your family who skipped a grade and graduated, you should still enjoy your childhood."

"Well," Uchiha Itachi, who was swallowing a powdered pill, avoided her hand trying to ruffle his hair again, "I told you not to treat me like a child, Izumi!"

"Sure enough, you have grown up, and the names are so big and small...well..." Seeing the look Uchiha Itachi cast, looking like a kitten with fried hair, Uchiha Izumi chose to smooth out his fur. "Are you angry? It's so cute, like a cute little kitten. I like it."

like……

Uchiha Itachi turned his head, a blush gradually appearing on his face.

"You're so shy? How cute~" Uchiha Izumi also bit off a pink ball, feeling that he had discovered something extraordinary.

It turns out that this kid is afraid of being praised.

"No!" Uchiha Itachi couldn't suppress the red color on his face. He didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or annoyance. "These meatballs are not sweet enough and not as delicious as the ones you made."

"Eh? I only did it once, do you remember?" After finishing the meatballs in his hands, Uchiha Izumi couldn't stop laughing.Being with this child made her depressed mood a lot better. "But I'm busy now and don't have time to make them. The meatballs in this store have the same taste." If possible, she also hopes that her hands will always be stuck to cooking ingredients instead of other things.

"Sorry, sorry, I stopped laughing. Let's give you a gift. Is there anything you want?" Although we have known him for a short time, he is too precocious and has not been able to discover anything except the three-color meatballs. His other hobbies.

"What you want." Uchiha Itachi turned around and mustered up the courage to look into her beautiful eyes.

What I want...

want both.

Perhaps because he stayed there for too long, he saw the doubts in the girl's eyes gradually fade away, and finally turned into sadness.

"I...can't give you this." Uchiha Izumi lowered his head. Although the memory of opening his eyes had been eliminated, those heartbreaking feelings remained.

For the Uchiha clan, the more passionate the emotions, the stronger the pain they feel, and the stronger their power.

In the same way, if you want to open your eyes, you must... lose something important.

It is a good life choice to live an ordinary life like Sister Zhili, without opening your eyes and not having to experience pain.

But...with an identity like Itachi's, he was destined not to live a peaceful life. His destination was the battlefield.

The flying crow flew across the fork of the tree and took away a few new leaves.

Footsteps came from behind.

"Hey, another mission is coming. Don't flirt with girls, even if you are acquaintances." Izumo Tenma, who had already brought his ninja gear, reminded him. Shinko and the teacher were still waiting to pick up the mission together.

"Who are you flirting with me? Tianma, you are really getting more and more arrogant!" It was a pity that her former deskmate only left her the back.

"Itachi, although I can't give you this, I will pray that you... open your Sharingan as soon as possible." With the situation in the clan, if he cannot secure his position as heir, Uncle Fugaku will also find it difficult to do so. .

Pray that he will be in less pain by then.

------------

"It hurts! Be gentle!" Hinata Qing knew this time how strong the medical ninja in his team was. He was breaking out in cold sweat and his joints were making cracking noises.

"Stop shouting and let Quan focus on breaking your legs." Holding down his teammate's flailing hands, Yu Hayata looked calm.

crunch~

"Okay, I'll put a splint on you. Just lie down for the next few days." Uchiha Izumi quickly tied the swollen leg with his hands and feet.

"……how long?"

"Ten days. You can do it in advance, if you don't want this leg." A stern look swept over him, "I told you last time that if you train too hard, your joints will have problems. If you take good care of it, there will be no sequelae. ."

Hinata Qing, who knew he was in the wrong, had no choice but to shut up.

"Training is not rushed. Besides, the tasks during this period are too intensive, and we also want to take a rest." Yu Hayata said his heart with a smile.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you. Thank you for coming to our house."

"Sister, sister...food." The little girl hiding behind Hinata Hizu stumbled and held a small box.

"What is this? Hinata-chan." The white eyes of the little girl wearing a kimono, the cute bangs and the round face made her heart melt.

Sucking her fingers, Hinata tilted her head and looked at her father.

"This is a pastry made by my wife. Thank you for coming. Don't let others know about Qing's situation." As the heir, Hinata Qing was not born to him. If people know that he is injured at this moment, troublemakers will soon come to the door. , and Hinata... is too soft-tempered and not suitable for this position.

"Hinata-sama, you're very polite. Please take care of me in the future." The annual Konoha annual meeting will begin soon. As for what to take care of, I believe the leader of the Hyuga clan knows very well.

When you walk out of the gate of the Hyuga tribe, you can see the bustling Mulan New Street not far away. It's a really good location, convenient for everything.

Unlike the current settlement of their clan, apart from being close to the training ground, it has no advantages.

"Uchiha...have you been having a hard time lately?" Yu Hayata asked from a few steps behind him.

Uchiha Izumi frowned. Although they were already well-coordinated teammates during the mission, this issue really crossed the line.

"Excuse me, in what capacity do you ask this question?"

……

"It's just the concern from your teammates, don't think too much about it." When he said the word "teammate", he tasted the bitter taste in his mouth.

The best situation for both of them is to stop here.

"Over there... the pressure will be tighter recently, you have to be careful." When he got close to her ear, he could clearly feel the faint fragrance of flowers on her body, as well as the alienation that prevented her from closing the distance.

"Thank you."

Only then can you see her faint smile.

Hayata Yu sighed silently, "Then I'm leaving. See you next time."

"Goodbye."

After getting the hint, Uchiha Izumi did not go home directly, but went straight to Uncle Fugaku's house. Such important news must let the Uchiha clan think of a negotiation plan as soon as possible.

Looking at the fortifications built in recent years on both sides of the clan, Uchiha Izumi walked faster.

……

"Okay, I understand. Don't leave the village during this period until I finish the meeting." As the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku had obviously anticipated this situation.

After all, in the past few years, the village's weakening of them has been too obvious. The only thing that has not been cut is the salary of the Konoha Police Department.

Nodding to show his understanding, Uchiha Izumi was about to go home and continue to make up for the notes he had not read before.

"Wait a minute, Koizumi."

Uchiha Izumi turned back in confusion.

"Go over to Itachi, he has been waiting for you for a long time." Uncle Fugaku was very happy, but she didn't understand.

"Meow~" Itachi's room was at the end of the corridor. Before Izumi Uchiha could reach it, he heard the cute cat meowing.

Huh?When did this guy start raising cats?

The sound of the door being opened startled the little black and white kitten, which lay curled up in Itachi's hand.

"You're here." Uchiha Itachi seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.

"Well, this is it?" The boy handed the kitten into her arms, and she took it gently, gently comforting the kitten whose eyes had not yet opened.

"A gift for you, happy birthday, Quan."

It turns out today is her birthday...

She was so busy that she forgot her birthday, but it didn't matter, someone would remember it.

"Thank you, where did you get this?"

"Grandma Cat, I just took on a related task. This is a reward."

"In exchange for the mission bonus? Grandma Cat is also willing to give it up." Looking at the color and health of this coat, it will definitely be a good ninja cat when it grows up.

"Well, give it a name. If you are busy with work, you can raise it here first." Uchiha Itachi nodded, looking at her smiling eyes, feeling very happy in his heart.Last time she said she liked cats and he chose the gift very well.

"Are you busy enough? Little Sasuke is also very attached to you." Izumi Uchiha shook his head. Ninja cats must be hand-raised to be the most affectionate. She didn't want to miss this process. At worst, she would ask him when she left the village.

"Well...Sasuke is getting older too."

"I'm older, but I still stick to you. Why don't you see Sasuke today?"

"I have several crooked teeth. My mother took me to the dentist."

"Haha, it's about time."

"It's only a dozen days old, and it needs to be fed some milk in the past few months. It often screams at night, and it's hard to sleep well if you keep it close by."

"It's okay, I want to take care of it myself. The black and white little cutie, let's call it Milk."

"Okay, let's call it milk."

"I like this gift very much. How can I thank you? Give you some more milk?"

"...I don't like drinking that stuff."

"You have to drink even if you don't like it. You are much shorter than your peers."

Uchiha Itachi turned back and pointed at the boxes of milk in the room.

"Wait until I finish drinking before sending it away. I can't put it down anymore."

"Okay, then..." Uchiha Izumi thought for a long time before deciding what to give him, "Close your eyes."

The boy in front of him obediently closed his big eyes, and his long eyelashes drooped and trembled.

Uchiha Itachi was looking forward to what kind of new dessert the box she brought was, when he felt a wet feeling on his cheek.

The other party gave him a moist kiss.

"Little Weasel, I like it very much, thank you."

Uchiha Itachi felt himself burning up, and something was bubbling on his face and in his heart.He touched the cheek that was kissed and decided to correct the two people's title.

"I'm already old, don't treat me like a child anymore."

"But you are just a child." Uchiha Izumi didn't understand. Don't others like to be pampered as children?

"I'm not!" Uchiha Itachi shook his head desperately, "In short, I will never call you sister in the future, and you don't treat me as a brother."

"Oh, you are becoming less and less cute as you grow older, I know, little Weasel."

The other party didn't seem to take his words to heart, and was lowering his head to tease the little milk cat in his hand.

"No," Itachi Uchiha grabbed her hand that was stroking the cat's fur, "You can't call me that."

"Okay, Itachi, I get it."

Outside the door, Uchiha Fugaku, who was watering the flowers, silently observed the two people's movements and nodded with satisfaction.

Taking Sasuke to the dentist today was the right decision.

The sky was hazy, and the sunlight gradually became clear from the fog. The Uchiha mansion was filled with lanterns with fan patterns, which were dancing in the strong wind.

got windy.
