[Hokage] I don't need that kind of thing at all

"What's wrong? Are you really all right?"

Noticing that he was still on the ground, the man kindly held out a hand to him.

"No, it's okay. Well, it's okay." Mizuki Ibuki got up in horror, patted the dirty clothes symbolically, grabbed the wooden barrel next to him and took a few steps back in a panic.

"That's really great." The other party showed a gentle expression, as if he didn't notice Mizuki's strange appearance of shaking again and again.He withdrew his hand and held it behind him twice, only then did Yibui notice that the person was carrying a small bag on his back.

——Then...isn't that...

I really should study the almanac before going out today!

The other party was wearing a very ordinary ninja uniform, and his long black hair was tied behind his head casually.The fine bangs caressed gently on his smooth forehead, making those eyes even darker.The sunlight was split into delicate edges and corners by his facial features, and the two nasolabial folds on the eyelids became more conspicuous.

——Why did we meet at this time.

It happened when he just realized that he needed to spy on the Uchiha family information.

Thinking of this, Mizuki Ibuki twitched the corners of his eyes violently, and then moved his gaze to Uchiha Itachi's back.

The short hair, also black, was disheveled wantonly on his head, reflecting a faint blue light from the sunlight.The skin is delicate and compact, with a soft radiance unique to children.The two jade-like black eyes were exceptionally agile, and they were looking at him with "fluttering" blinks.

The other party was exquisite and cute, but when Mizuki Ibuki saw the face of the young Sasuke clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and cold sweat oozes from the forehead.

Earlier, when he looked at his reflection in the water, he felt vaguely familiar. Now that he saw Sasuke Uchiha, the answer was completely revealed before his eyes.

——It turned out to be exactly the same as Sasuke when he was a child.

Mizuki Yifuki lowered his head subconsciously, his bangs slid to his forehead, and most of his face was hidden in the shadow, so he couldn't see clearly.

Why does his appearance overlap with Uchiha Sasuke? The original book clearly shows that Uchiha Itachi only has Sasuke as a brother.This kind of identical facial features can no longer be described as an accident, and...

Mizuki Yifuki looked carefully at Sasuke, who was carried on Itachi's back, through the gaps in his hair.

From the moment he saw Sasuke, a strange feeling rose in his heart.It's as if the two have known each other for a long time, and it seems that they are only one step away from connecting with each other.This strange sense of tacit understanding made Yibu extremely flustered, and his mind was clamoring for a fact that he didn't want to admit: twins.

When he first crossed into this world, he was still a newborn baby. Apart from being able to maintain a clear mind at the beginning, his memory ability seemed to return to the stage of a baby a long time later.Now I can only vaguely remember the first scene, if I remember correctly, he should be the orphan Mizuki adopted by his side at the beginning.

Could it be that he is a child left behind by the Uchiha clan?

This thought was like a thunderbolt, making Mizuki Ibuki's already chaotic brain even more noisy.

"Your face is very ugly." Itachi stretched out his hand again, wanting to check his body. "If it's convenient, can I have a look at it?"

"No need!" Mizuki Ibuki refused directly without even thinking about it, barely maintaining a calm expression, turned around and ran away.However, he was too distracted and anxious now, and when he didn't pay attention, he tripped over the wooden barrel at his feet and fell headlong again.

"Hahahahahaha——" the young Sasuke couldn't help laughing, accepted his brother's angry expression, obediently held back his smile, stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth to prevent himself from continuing to laugh for a while Voice.

"Is there really no problem?" The child seemed a little afraid of them.No, or rather, the other party was the only one who looked at him with fear in his eyes.Uchiha Itachi carefully put down Sasuke, and took a few steps closer to Mizuki Ibuki.

"I'm fine." Mizuki Yibuki got up in embarrassment, looked at the pair of brothers standing in front of him, and suddenly became inexplicably at a loss. "That... I'll go back first."

"You should be Mizuki Ibuki." Itachi let go of his warm voice, and gently called this little ghost who wanted to leave the land of right and wrong at this moment. "Please take care of our garden."

Mizuki Ibuki: "..."

He suddenly felt like crying.

"Then, if you don't mind, please let us show you the way. It should be your first time. We are just getting ready to go home."

"Brother!" Little Sasuke was sizing up Ibuki seriously, but when he heard his words, he couldn't help looking at Itachi, shaking his right hand in dissatisfaction. "It's rare that you don't have a mission. Didn't you agree to accompany me to buy wooden fish rice balls?"

"I'll definitely accompany you next time, huh?" Itachi smiled and raised two fingers, and with gentle tenderness, accurately pointed at Sasuke's forehead.

"It hurts...!" Sasuke whispered, reaching out to cover his forehead, but he still didn't let go of Itachi's little hand.

The dark pupils clearly reflected the innocent smiles of the two people in front of them, and Mizuki Ibuki suddenly felt dazed.

If he is really Sasuke's twin brother, why did he fall into Mizuki's hands.

"Hello." Sasuke walked ahead and looked back at him. "Is your name Ibuki?"

"Yes." Mizuki Ibuki recovered from his own thoughts, looked at Sasuke's cute face, but felt a chill in his heart.

This feeling is like one day you are looking in the mirror, and suddenly find that the reflection in the mirror actually walked through the glass barrier and walked straight to you.

"You're pretty cute like this." Sasuke bent down sideways as he walked, trying to see the other person's face clearly under his bangs, but when he failed, his eyes showed disappointment unabashedly.

As for what he said next, Mizuki Ibuki could no longer listen.He couldn't help but panic, and suddenly regretted his idea of ​​going to Konoha instead of his mother.

At that time, I just wanted to know more about the world of Hokage, but I didn't expect that there would be such a time bomb silently waiting for him in Konoha Village.Speaking of which, when he fought for the opportunity to come to Konoha, Mizuki agreed at the end very abruptly, as if...

——As if deliberately letting him go.

Why it is like this……

Mizuki Ibuki followed behind the Uchiha brothers, with his head deeply buried, his thinking look seemed helpless and embarrassing in the face of a deadlock in the eyes of others.

"Looking at your appearance, you should be about the same age as Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi held Sasuke with one hand, while Daibuki carried the bulky and ugly wooden barrel with the other.He turned his eyes and showed a friendly smile. "So, how old are you?"

"Seven years old." Mizuki Ibuki replied perfunctorily without looking up.

"That's it, it's really the same size as Sasuke." Itachi continued to smile, but the corner of his eyes glanced at Ibuki's face half covered by bangs from time to time, and there was a little bit of surprise and uncertainty between his brows.

"But he's not as tall as I am!" Sasuke waved his idle arms, and his face was filled with excitement. "Brother, does he look like my younger brother?"

"...Stop messing around, Sasuke." Itachi froze for a moment, tightened his fingers holding the barrel, and subconsciously looked at Mizuki Ibuki who was buried behind him.

"I didn't mess around." Sasuke suddenly became dissatisfied. "If I have a younger brother, I will definitely take care of him tenderly like an older brother!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi paused.

"Yeah, Sasuke is also a gentle child."

As if talking to himself, after saying this, he pursed his lips and became silent.Not knowing why, Sasuke looked up at his thoughtful face, then turned his head to look at Mizuki Ibuki who was following him.

Feeling Uchiha Sasuke's direct gaze, Mizuki Ibuki sighed without leaving any trace in his heart, raised his head and smiled at him, and then quickly lowered his head again.

For just a moment, his face was faintly visible under the shadow of bangs, completely falling into Itachi's eyes.
