[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

It is said that people are constantly losing throughout their lives.Growth means saying goodbye to the past. Some people grow up in loss, and some people are addicted to the warm past and don't want to wake up.

The genius boy in the next ward is the latter.

Uchiha Izumi met him on the second day after he was admitted to the hospital.Although the battle for the Iwa Ninja on the front line has become clear, the Mist Ninja sneak attack incident cost the Uchiha clan four elite members and also made the seniors stationed on the ground decide to stand still to prevent the Iwa Ninja from counterattacking or the Mist Ninja from attacking again.It's now March, and the chill of early spring has not faded away yet.The busy Konoha Hospital has received a batch of frontline wounded in the past few days and is very busy. However, the frontline medical soldiers have not yet returned to the village.So even someone like her, who had learned some medical knowledge during her time as a caregiver, was roped in to help.

"No. 0487 Hatake Kakashi, glucose injection, second dose of azathioprine." Uchiha Izumi, who was busy pushing the injection cart into the door, did not receive a response from the patient.She looked up and saw the boy nestled at the head of the bed.His white hair was hanging messily, and his blindfolded left eye was no longer bleeding.The dead fish on the right has a familiar look in its eyes.She had also had that kind of look in her eyes without a trace of light.It looked like... he wasn't in pain and couldn't speak, but rather... he was in a daze.

"Senior, it's time to take medicine." Holding a cup of warm water and a packet of medicine, the fountain opened in front of the patient.

The white-haired boy didn't even move, as if he had lost all awareness of the outside world.

"Organ transplantation is very difficult to succeed. Even if the operation goes well, the eye cannot be saved if the rejection reaction is severe after the operation." I heard from other nurses that this person did not take medicine yesterday, and nursing care within three days after the operation is extremely important.Today is already the fourth day. Even though he has a strong physique, these eyes...

The young man moved, raised his eyelids, glanced at her next to him, and stretched out his hand.

Finally willing to take medicine.

She opened the medicine bag, filled it silently in his hand, and handed him some water along the way.

Kakashi Hatake took the medicine and swallowed it slowly with warm water.

"Kakashi, you must..." The door was opened, and a girl with short hair and purple facial patterns walked in, "Eh? Isn't Sanma-senpai on duty today?" Nohara Lin stopped talking, Kakashi said today He actually took the medicine obediently... "That's great Kakashi."

"I am Quan, a temporary helper at the hospital. Senior Sanma temporarily entered the operating room today, so he was handed over to me." After hesitating, Quan did not give his last name. After all, the patient's situation was somewhat special.That family that values ​​bloodline so much would not let it go so lightly.

"Ah, thank you so much, Sister Quan. Kakashi is willing to take medicine today."

"Sister Nohara's transplant surgery was done very well. I have to go to several other wards, so I'll leave this to you." Leaving space for two teammates who lacked communication due to the death of their companions, Izumi turned around and walked out of the ward, closing the door door.

What is lost can no longer be recovered. Please cheer up for the trust of your companions, Hatake-senpai.

After walking out of the last ward he inspected, he put his hands back into his pockets. The white hospital coat was too long. Quan casually picked up a coat and met three unexpected but not unexpected people at the entrance of the corridor.

The leader of the Fugaku clan, the elder Yaowei, and the captain of the Yakumo squad.

Why are you here so early and so impatient?

"Uncle Fugaku, Elder Yaowei..." Uchiha Izumi greeted obediently.

"Izumi, I heard that you are helping in the hospital, how is the transplant patient doing?" Izumi's greeting was stopped with a wave of his hand, and Uchiha Fugaku asked a difficult question.

I'm afraid they're going to go in today to collect the eyes that shouldn't be wandering outside, right?My aunt has been hospitalized for such a long time, and she hasn't seen a single comment from the senior members of the clan. Is it really... that she just throws away the useless things without hesitation?

"The transplant operation was relatively successful, but it will take some time for the eyes to fuse. If you take them out rashly, you may not be able to save them." Quan answered honestly.

This child really looks like her father. Even if he clicks on it, he can understand it completely.Ming, if you are... Uchiha Fugaku's face showed no signs of movement.

"Huh, I'm just an outsider, can I keep it safe..."

"Yakumo, you're rude." There are many people in the hospital, so there's no guarantee that it won't reach the ears of people over there.The smell of Uchiha medicine immediately interrupted the frizzy boy.

"The eyes need nourishment from flesh and blood. Due to the limited surgical conditions, the condition of this eye is not very good. It is unclear whether it can be saved."

……

That day's encounter in the corridor ended inexplicably, and the three adults went back without saying anything.But every three days, Itachi would always hesitate to invite her to his home for dinner, and then be left alone to answer questions about Kakashi Hatake's treatment status.

This is the third time.

After finishing the meal, Izumi stayed alone in the Japanese room and gave Itachi a reassuring look as he left.

"Is Hatake Kakashi's condition stable?" Uchiha Fugaku asked calmly while blowing hot tea.

"Yes, it seems that he has almost recovered. He can be discharged from the hospital after another three days of observation." Thinking of the increasingly distant looks in the eyes of the white-haired boy and the short-haired girl, Quan replied calmly.

"So, do you think this eye should be taken back?"

Why are you asking me? ...She still wants to be a child quietly.

"Medically speaking, the probability of success of a second transplant is even lower." Quan still answered, she could only answer so much.It is said that Namikaze Minato, who has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the front line and is famous, is the most popular candidate for Hokage.How to choose...I believe the Fugaku clan leader will decide.

"Well, it seems that your medical knowledge is very solid. Take good care of the patient and let him be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible."

"Okay." Quan felt relieved after understanding this sentence.

"Little Weasel? Why are you..." standing outside the door blowing the cold wind?Looking at the little boy waiting for her outside with his arms folded, Uchiha Izumi felt warm in his heart.

"It's too late, Sister Quan, come sleep with me." Uchiha Itachi, who was feeling a little uneasy, extended the invitation.

"Okay, but just go to bed and don't ask any questions." He pinched the boy's face and the two little people walked slowly through the corridor.

It's already the end of March, why hasn't Shisui come back? Is something going to happen?Izumi, who was wringing his fingers in the darkness, was held by a pair of small hands.

"Sister Quan, are you asleep?" Itachi rolled over from another tatami and pushed her.

"No, do you have anything to ask? You can only ask one question." There were too many and she didn't want to answer.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Itachi's childish voice was filled with uncertainty. "Do you think I can go to war?"

"What?!" Quan suddenly squeezed Itachi's hands, and Quan's heart went cold. "How could you have such an idea?"

"...It's already the final stage. The front lines need to change defenses. Yesterday I heard that my father was going to personally lead a group of tribesmen to the battlefield." Itachi's voice echoed in the cold night.

Playing in person at this time can not only show the style of the big family, but also not pose too much danger.

"The enemy's counterattack is also very powerful," Quan squeezed Itachi's palm and asked, "Are you on the list?"

"I applied to my father this morning, and he should agree."

"You're not even four years old!"

"It's only two months away. I want to know what the battlefield is like." Although he couldn't see the look in Itachi's eyes, once the little kid made up his mind, even Shisui couldn't pull him back.

Alas - he sighed, "Then you have to be careful. I believe you, you will be fine, right?" Quan squeezed his hand.

"Well, don't worry, I will follow the adults closely. You and Brother Zhisui are waiting for me to come back to train together."

"Well..." It was late at night, and the two children, who couldn't hold back their sleepiness, cuddled up to each other and fell asleep.

The father's face gradually emerged in the dream, "Quan, what I say now is very important. Maybe you can't understand it yet, but you must remember it." The old father coughed violently, and the fingers he covered were covered with blood. "I don't have much time."

"No, father, are you going to leave me alone?" The little girl's eyes were filled with tears. Her mother had just been buried.

"I'm sorry, I can't protect you anymore. You have to walk your own path in the future, believe in yourself." As he moistened his throat with the water handed over to him, Akira Uchiha said slowly while holding back the itching in his throat.

"Although Konoha seems to be peaceful, it is not actually like this. The second generation passed away suddenly, and the third generation was appointed at the critical moment. The power was not completely transferred. There are three elders and one Hokage in Konoha. Among them, the elder Shimura is very afraid of our clan, but he also desires With the power of the Uchiha. The Hokage has an ANBU directly under him, and the Shimura elders have a secret 'root' organization, and both sides perform their duties. The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan has been going on for a long time. Since your grandfather, as the second generation Hokage team After the untimely death of member Uchiha Kagami, no one from the Uchiha clan has entered the center of power. Even I am just the captain of the guard, a pawn to balance the conflicts between the two sides. This time I left, the conflicts between the two sides had already been caused by the war. It’s becoming more and more obvious that they just put aside the discussion because of the war. The clan leader still has the heart to reconcile, but other clan members are not restless. Uchiha is conservative and autistic, and his narrow vision of being obsessed with the rise and fall of the clan has already caused dissatisfaction among others..."

This passage was a bit long, and the young Quan could not fully understand it, but she still wrote it down word for word.

"If you don't need to be sure, don't get involved unless you have to. Remember to stay alone and protect yourself. Ahem -" Uchiha Ming paused, "I used to think you didn't need to be so smart and hardworking, but now I feel lucky . Please continue to work hard, Quan. Greed causes fights. In troubled times, only when you are strong can you protect the people around you. But remember, don’t let anyone know the slightest bit of information about your mother, even the closest people. Okay. When your uncle comes, I will seal your memory. Don’t be afraid, child. If you need it one day, the memory will return naturally..."

Then came the night with a splitting headache and broken memories.Those warm memories before she was 6 years old, those days when her mother loved her and her father cared for her, were like a mirror in the mirror, all in vain.
