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

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke couldn't understand what kind of mood Mizuki Ibuki entered the gate of Uchiha's house.From the moment the other party steps through the threshold, they can only feel a deep sense of dignity, and even the color of the whole person is leaden gray like a cumulonimbus cloud, which is infinitely depressed.

"My lord father won't be back yet. It's almost noon, and my lord mother should be in the kitchen." The implication is, do you want to pay a visit.

Uchiha Mikoto?

"No!" Mizuki Ibuki's first reaction was to refuse, and then felt that it was too deliberate, so he reluctantly slowed down his speech, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Uh... I know." Although I really don't want to see the Uchiha family, but it's better to say hello to the head of the family when I go to someone else's house.

It's that "hello" speech that has been repeated thousands of times.The strange thing is that he really didn't feel bored or helpless this time, he just felt overwhelmed.

Being led to the courtyard in twists and turns, Mizuki Yibuki raised his eyes to look at the turbulent thin bamboo curtains under the eaves, and then looked at the bright and clean corridor under his feet.After some hesitation, he took off his slippers very carefully and stepped into the courtyard with bare feet.

Uchiha Itachi's silence didn't surprise him much, after all, this behavior was just to keep the corridor from being dirty.

This courtyard does not have as many trees as the previous ones, but a few sparse cherry trees lined up under the east wall.Under the shade of the trees, there are some fluffy grasses, which will only reveal some green, very elegant.The white orchids around the courtyard wall look a bit bleak in the shade.On the contrary, peacock arrowroot is planted in a large area in the sunny part of the courtyard.

——It's such a depressing feeling.

Mizuki Yibuki couldn't help complaining in his heart.A more decadent place has never been seen.

Shade-loving plants are completely reversed from sun-loving plants.

"People don't come to this yard very often." Uchiha Itachi seemed to see his thoughts, and explained softly behind him.He stared fixedly at the thin figure by the courtyard, with a tentative look in his brows: "You..."

"Is Ibuki going to take care of this yard? Great! I like playing here the most!" Sasuke rushed over excitedly, interrupting Itachi's words.

"I... go to the kitchen to see if Mother needs help." Uchiha Itachi remained silent for two seconds, patted Sasuke on the head, then turned and left.If you observe carefully, you can also clearly see the strange air pressure emanating from his body.

"Brother is so strange." Xiao Sasuke tilted his head, sat down cross-legged on his own, and put his hands on his cheeks to show a very friendly smile to Mizuki Yifuki.

"Well... that, Sasuke." Mizuki Ibuki felt Sasuke's burning gaze, and sighed helplessly.With someone staring nearby, it would be inconvenient for him to use the control technique at all... It's better to loosen the soil first. "Don't you have to do your own thing?"

"Because this yard is behind the family house, so my mother doesn't usually come to take care of it. But ah." Sasuke became excited like a chicken blood. "When my brother is not at home, I will come to play!"

——Suddenly I became excited... By the way, I completely ignored his words, hey!

Yibuki twitched the corner of his mouth, and after casually glanced at Sasuke, his eyes immediately widened: "What are you doing!?"

"I'm here to help you!" Sasuke said while tearing off the shoes on his feet.

"Go back! Climb up for me!" Yi Chui wanted to rush forward with messy steps. The loose soil on the ground was naturally loose. Coupled with the constant humidity in the shade, he only felt his feet slipping, followed by The icy coldness that is unique to the earth comes from the cheeks.

"Are you okay!" After a moment of bewilderment, Sasuke hesitated on the spot, and carefully jumped towards him with his white and tender feet.

"Don't go there!" The soil had just loosened.Before the words fell, there was only a muffled "touch".Mizuki Ibuki closed his eyes tightly, buried his head in his arms, and was silent for a while, thinking whether the still young Uchiha Sasuke would cry out.

--damn.

- It's over.

"Haha..." Sasuke suddenly laughed out loud. "I fell too."

Mizuki shook his head, stood up and walked decisively, squatted down, looked into Sasuke's eyes seriously with his black eyes, and said word by word: "Let me remind, Master Uchiha, I'm here to work. I need to rely on this for food. If something happens to you, I will be very distressed." Then, he raised his hand and pulled Sasuke from the ground, pushing him to the corridor.Glancing at his dirty paws, and then at Sasuke's little face, which was also not much better, overwhelming helplessness swept over again.

"puff--"

"What are you laughing at?" Mizuki Ibuki fixed Sasuke's dirty paws that were trying to cover the corner of his mouth in horror, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are like brothers, right? Our faces are all dirty."

Hearing what he said, cold sweat broke out again layer by layer: "It's not like."

"If you don't believe me, go look in the mirror with me!" Sasuke, who had not experienced genocide, fully showed the innocence of a child, and snorted immaturely. "I have been observing for a long time."

"It hasn't been long since I met you."

"But it's really similar!" Sasuke tried to lift his bangs in dissatisfaction, but his hands were grabbed firmly.

"Please don't say such distressing things anymore." Mizuki Ibuki suddenly felt that he would shorten his life by ten years, and he had to get rid of this kid first, otherwise he didn't know how long he would be able to do this job if he couldn't use the manipulation technique. "Ah...that's right.

"

A voice implying low air pressure came from the top of Tianling Gai, Sasuke raised his head in inquiry, and saw Mizuki Ibuki, who had stepped on a poop expression before, smiling at him very amiably.

"Have you ever heard of it?" Mizuki Ibuki could increase his grip on Sasuke's hands, with a solemn expression on his face as if he was thinking about some major event in life. "In this world, there really are two people who look the same..."

He deliberately lowered the end, seeing Sasuke's solemn and terrified appearance, a gleam of satisfaction flashed through the bottom of his eyes, he suppressed his full of laughter, and continued to lower his voice. "Some people say... when a person sees someone who looks the same as him!"

His voice immediately raised an octave, he tightly grasped Sasuke's hands that were desperately trying to pull back, narrowed the distance with Sasuke, nose to nose, and tried his best to tremble the end. "It's going to die..." At the end, without giving Sasuke time to react, Mizuki Ibuki opened his mouth and yelled first: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

Mizuki Yibuki immediately let go of his hand when he saw it was good, quickly took two steps back, and whistled happily twice at the back of Uchiha Sasuke who stumbled and rushed out, and happily turned back to face the courtyard, with the palm of his right hand facing towards the courtyard. He buttoned his hands slightly, his eyes fixed, and the soil under his feet made a rustling sound...

……

It took a lot of time to completely clean up this damn courtyard. Although manipulation does not need to consume chakra and physical strength like ninjutsu, it still requires a lot of mental power.

"Your uncle!" Slapping the last white orchid with a shovel, Mizuki Yikei swears and puts himself down on the ground. "When is the end of this day..."

The twigs of white orchids rubbed against his face with their long and narrow leaves, giving him a slight sense of discomfort.But this discomfort was soon overwhelmed by the boredom that filled the brain nucleus.

At the end of the setting sun, the clouds showed dazzling colors, reflected in Mizuki Ibuki's eyes, and gathered into a big Uchiwa fan pattern.He was about to reach out and tear it into pieces, but he didn't want someone to walk to the corner of the corridor earlier.

"Mizuki Ibuki." Uchiha Itachi called him by first and last name. "My lord father has returned."

"Scared!?" Hearing this, Mizusuyi shivered. "Yes, I know." The thin body trembled and trembled, and slowly got up from the ground.

"Do you want to take a shower first?"

"Ah?" Yi Chui was stunned for a moment, looked down at his embarrassment, raised his hand to carefully remove the bangs that were about to poke into his eyes, and smiled awkwardly. "Don't bother... Please send my greetings to the Patriarch, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Uchiha Itachi looked at him silently, his eyes were a little unclear, and it took a long time before he said again: "I'm sorry for your trouble today." Glancing at the completely changed courtyard, he knew that this little guy's work was not in vain today. "Then I'll see you off."

"No, no need!" Mizuki Ibuki, who had just packed his things, immediately changed his face, holding a shovel in each hand to his chest, and stared at the other party with the expression of a big enemy. "It's okay... yes, thank you."

Uchiha Itachi seemed to have guessed about his reaction for a long time, and his face remained unchanged: "Has your current board and lodging been arranged? If you don't mind, my house is still free..."

"No need!" Mizuki Ibuki immediately refused without thinking.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were black and bottomless, and they were so deep that it was shocking: "So, can you tell me where you live now? If there is a chance, I would like to visit in person. Sasuke also likes you very much."

"...I, I only know how to get there, but I don't know how to describe that place."

——Don't worry, Itachi-san, Sasuke probably won't want to see me very much in the near future.

"I send you."

"No need!" Yibuki's heart trembled. "I...I have to go to another place, so I won't bother you today." As he spoke, he wobbled and lifted the wooden barrel above his head in a strange gesture. "That..." He raised his foot to look at his dark feet, with a few drops of cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and smiled dryly. "Can you please bring my shoes here... I'll just go out the back door."

Itachi looked at him indifferently, "...OK."

Anyway, there will be a chance to meet again.
