[Hokage] One tit for another

Chapter 18 Heavy Burden

Itachi’s cheerful smile on the night of my birthday was just a flash in the pan. I fell asleep with the stars that night, and when I woke up the next day, I was already lying on the small bed in the bedroom. I was sweating all over.And Itachi had already left. He had no obvious mission, but he didn't go home for many days and disappeared.

The atmosphere at home became more and more delicate, and even the laughing mother would sigh softly when no one was paying attention.

My mother is always very happy when doing housework. I can often hear her humming while washing the dishes, but now, I have seen her stop unconsciously while washing the dishes more than once, and stare out the window in a daze for a long time. , until the pool of foam dissipated, there was a sigh that was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

The Uchiha clan was originally separated from the village and had its own settlement.But usually, because of Uchiha's unique characteristics, people from outside the clan can often be seen hanging out on the streets.

But gradually, walking in the clan, one can feel a killing intent just around the corner.Everyone became very xenophobic. Occasionally, when foreigners entered, they would cast their eyes indistinctly and whisper to each other.This is not a pleasant atmosphere, so that only large and small round fans walk on the streets of the settlement.

The security department in charge of Uchiha is doing a job that is easy to offend people. Perhaps it is affected by such a weird atmosphere. In countless skirmishes, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village has gradually intensified, and the villagers also have feelings for Uchiha. There was a faint complaint.

It's a vicious circle.

The already tenuous bond between the Uchiha clan and the village is at stake.

I still go to and from school every day. The primary school seems to be another world. The little kids are foolish and happy all day long, and they don’t know anything about the upcoming crisis.

For little kids, it is a very serious and terrible thing to be caught by the teacher for being distracted in class, let alone regular exams.

At the end of another test, I got full marks for practice and zero marks for theory as usual.Because I am really not interested in the theory test, I can pass the test easily by throwing the shuriken in practice, but I have to immerse myself in writing long paragraphs of text in the theory test. Every time I get the paper, I just write and draw. The teacher tolerantly pretended not to see it.

It seems that everyone has given me the definition of "simple mind and well-developed limbs". The shock brought by my powerful force value when I first entered school has gradually faded. Although no one dares to fight me, occasionally, I still There will be some sarcastic remarks on the sidelines.

A few students on the side were whispering, while secretly looking at me.

I pretended I couldn't see it, and just stuffed the zero-mark test paper into my schoolbag.

Naruto lamented his poor grades beside him. Not only could he not memorize the ninja rules, but he hadn't made much progress in ninjutsu and taijutsu, and he was undoubtedly the bottom one in the class.

But Naruto seemed to like it too. He pulled his hair and muttered for a while, then cheered up again, and talked to me about the prank plan with great energy.

"Let me talk, let me talk, Sasuke, I found a good place." Naruto's eyebrows were beaming, but he still tried his best to keep his voice down as he was concerned about Mr. Iruka on the podium, and approached me mysteriously, his tone I couldn't help but cheered, "There is a big wall on the street behind Yile Ramen. And there are so many people there during the day, so many people will definitely see it this time!"

Naruto has become more and more lively, which may be related to Mr. Iruka's invitation to him to eat ramen for several days.He has always been unwilling to be lonely, and has always liked to play pranks.Recently, I have become obsessed with the art of painting, and I am scribbling with paint on the wooden leaf fence, but sometimes the paintings are abstract and vivid, which looks quite interesting.

Every time he was spotted, Naruto would be chased noisily across most of Konoha, like some after-school entertainment.

Although sometimes Naruto will be caught by the Chunin and ordered to wipe the wall clean.But within a few days, Naruto reverted to his old ways, and couldn't help but become fussy.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, what do you think I should draw this time?" Naruto looked at me with shining eyes.

I occasionally offer ideas for Naruto's wall art.

He's a discerning artist who can appreciate my art without hindrance, and whenever I come up with an idea, I can see the finished product on a wall somewhere in a few days.

Speaking of this, my heart moved, and I remembered a person, who seemed to be called Uchiha Shisui or something.

That is really an annoying guy, a few days ago he and Itachi competed in the back mountain, I found out, I said why Itachi doesn't come home all the time, it turns out there are people outside!

If a man doesn't go home, isn't he being lured away by a little goblin?

In particular, the most exaggerated thing is that the guy actually loves to laugh, talkative and cheerful, with a gentle and friendly attitude. No matter how you look at it, he is more likable than Itachi. After all, Itachi is too quiet. Gives a sense of alienation and arrogance.And that guy is totally different, he looks more handsome than Itachi, has a more masculine temperament than Itachi, and even has bigger eyes than Itachi!

When faced with my stinky face, that guy could still approach me with a playful smile, pretending to be a good brother in a dignified manner, what a thick skin!

Itachi is a very respectable person, and he respects that guy for granted, and he seems to have been influenced a lot.

And I... have to admit, because I am the younger brother, Itachi always ignores me unconsciously in some respects. ——Compared to the little goblin's status in his heart!I feel that my dignity has been greatly challenged!

I sketched a fat, ugly and black villain casually on the paper, and then drew one after another, layer after layer, on the villain's face.

"This." I handed the paper to Naruto.

Naruto lay down on the paper and studied for a while, nodded happily, and said excitedly: "Sasuke, you are amazing! This is ramen, right? It's just right to promote Yile Ramen!"

"Hmm." I responded dispensably.

In fact, it's not ramen, but someone's skin thicker than a city wall!

Itachi has been very busy in the past few months, rarely coming home, and has become more and more indifferent and silent. He doesn't say a word at home, and only occasionally answers briefly when his father asks questions. The look of being absent-minded.Passed by my father on the veranda, but didn't make a sound.

...Why has no one thought that the burden placed on Itachi is too heavy?

Itachi wanders between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, everyone regards him as a genius, the eldest son of a famous family.His father has many demands on Itachi. He hopes Itachi will win glory for the clan, complete more advanced tasks, and get better evaluations.Even... strongly sent Itachi to Anbu, let him be the channel connecting the village and the clan.

How talented and outstanding Itachi is, I actually didn't really see it, all I saw was Itachi's heavy figure that seemed to be tightly suppressed.

I only saw the fleeting fragility in Itachi's eyes.In his heart, something seemed to be crumbling, and he barely managed to maintain his superficial calmness and composure, but this illusion was like morning dew, which could be shattered instantly by a gust of wind.

I looked at Itachi, as if I saw an empty shell puppet standing in the center of the stage by a string. No matter how gorgeous, majestic, exquisite and eye-catching outsiders look, I know that as long as I walk up a little and touch it lightly, that puppet will immediately It will collapse, and it will fall to the ground in a "ping-ping-pong-pong", falling to pieces.

Sometimes, when I watched Itachi sitting in the porch and silently tightening his trouser legs and arranging the knives, I felt that the man seemed very fragile, as if his spine would be bent and bent deeply in the next second.

But in the next second, Itachi stood up, his back was still straight, his steps were still steady, and he walked out of the door calmly.

I don't understand what itachi is thinking.

It is human nature to pursue a better life, but Itachi runs counter to this nature. He has this ability to find the most difficult and tiring way of life from thousands of worlds, just for what he insists on in his heart. that something.

He kept carrying the weight that he didn't need to bear, kept fighting, and kept walking hard.

——As if Itachi was born lacking some sense of enjoyment, he couldn't live a carefree life, and he could find a dead end at any time.

I always knew that no matter how much itachi played with me, he always pretended to be serious.

This is probably the genius's unconventional path?

To put it bluntly, it is worrying about the country and the people, suffering great hatred, and taking the world as its own responsibility.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, I sighed, picked up my schoolbag and prepared to leave, Naruto couldn't wait to rush out to find Yile Ramen.

"An idiot is an idiot, even if he can move his hands, he can't become a ninja."

"He has the face to stay in school with zero marks in the test papers again and again."

"It's really embarrassing to the Uchiha clan."

"I heard that Uchiha Itachi is the most talented student since the school was established, why is my younger brother the complete opposite of him?"

"That's right, I really don't understand how this kind of person is Uchiha Itachi's younger brother."

After the teacher left, a few classmates deliberately raised their voices to discuss beside me, while squinting their eyes and trying to find my exam papers, but failed, and they were a little bit resentful.

I'm really sorry, I don't want to be Itachi's younger brother either, is there anything worse than being his younger brother?

And "how can I be Itachi's younger brother", you can't blame me, you can only go to the patriarch to discuss it.

I walked out of the classroom with a face full of black lines, feeling in my heart how children think now, but I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I saw Itachi leaning against the wall.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting a long shadow in the corridor.

Why is he here?

I was shocked, not to mention why this guy didn't get out of the mission, but he had been waiting at the door for an unknown amount of time, and he might be aware of the movements in the classroom, including those twittering sarcastic remarks.

Itachi usually knows this kind of thing and will go crazy.

"Brother?" I walked up to Itachi and took his hand.

Itachi seemed to just come back to his senses, smiled at me, held my hand and said, "Sasuke, let's go."

Fortunately, I didn't hear it.

I breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and obediently followed Itachi on the way home.

Itachi is a little abnormal, and even I dare not provoke him at this time.

Along the way, I secretly observed Itachi, his eyes were full of exhaustion, the brows were pressed down very low, and even his smile showed a bitterness.

Thinking about the laughing Itachi on his birthday is like a dream, but the dream will always wake up, facing the suffocating and cruel reality.

"What's wrong?" Itachi asked.Itachi finally discovered my sneaky little trick.

I looked at the hair hanging down the side of Itachi's face, and suddenly said, "Your hair has grown."

Itachi was taken aback.

A gust of wind blew right at this moment, and Itachi's long, fragmented hair was blown by the wind, half covering his face, and he subconsciously reached out to lift the ends of his hair and pin them behind his ears.

Itachi did this series of movements very naturally. He didn't realize that his movements of tilting his head and lightly brushing his hair revealed a strange sense of beauty, which seemed charming and sexy at the same time.

... What a motherfucker!

Fortunately, I am handsome and unrestrained, and itachi itself looks more feminine, with long hair, and I want to pretend to be more feminine.

He deserves to have long hair!

I curled my lips secretly, and teased Itachi as a signal. Although he was puzzled, he still bent down obediently.

"Is it very long?" Itachi asked. He thought for a while and said, "It's been a long time since I cut it."

"Let me cut it for you." I pulled the long hair on the side of Itachi's face and said.

Bathing pets is no longer new, but you can still cut their hair!I haven't cut it yet!

So easy, just cut it short.

My workmanship has always been better than Itachi's. Itachi cut my hair before and put on a professional look. As a result, the hair on the back of my head is now curled up, and I can't even press it down.

I looked at Itachi with shining eyes, with a strong sense of anticipation, and I couldn't refuse.

Itachi looked at me for a while, then smiled, as if the haze that had formed between his brows was relieved.

"Okay." Itachi said, he let me still hold his hair in my hands, and hugged me.

What the hell kind of pose is this!How to hold a child of a certain age, bastard!

"Put me down!" I protested, grabbing Itachi's hair, "Don't hug me like this!"

Itachi held my butt firmly, turning a deaf ear to my words.

"Hey! I'm talking!" I shouted into Itachi's ear dissatisfied, while struggling.

"Hmm..." Itachi weighed it lightly, and suddenly said in surprise, "Sasuke, why have you become lighter?" He thought for a while, and then added seriously, "Don't be picky."

ha?This guy is just talking to himself, right?

I struggled several times to no avail, Itachi hugged me too tightly and had no intention of letting me go down at all.

hateful……

I just worry about it all day long!Why should I worry about Itachi!This bastard lives a very nourishing life. He is a ruthless little king kong. I don't need to worry about his mental state!

Fortunately, I have been patient with him in every possible way in the past few days.

I even pinched my nose to that guy Zhishui.That guy always likes to feed me sugar, I hate sweets the most!I almost didn't eat dinner after eating those candies!

Unbearable, no need to endure.

I gave Itachi a headbutt violently.

"You're picky eaters, right? Bastard!!!!!!"
