[Hokage] Flower Time

After Uchiha Itachi joined Anbu, he also became busy.

In the past, Hua Shi could always see him walking slowly on the street with Sasuke when he came home, telling Sasuke one by one the people and things nearby.Sometimes the two brothers appeared in front of the gate of the family land, and sometimes sat outside the shop on the main street. When she hurried home and passed the corner, it was like a design, and said to her lightly, "I'm back!" .”

It is neither early nor late, never late and never dissipating. In summer, it is when the sun climbs to the sky, and in winter, it is before the gray night covers and invades.But every time he sees him, he can always use words to make her pause for a minute or two when her steps turn into the path towards his own house.

She didn't know if when she didn't come home on time, he would lead Sasuke to wander outside as she had guessed.At least, that's how she saw it.

Ever since Uchiha Itachi became a member of Anbe, Hanato rarely saw him wandering around with Sasuke.

She also secretly asked, how does it feel to be a member of Anbe?Is it possible to see three generations of old men every day?Are the colleagues very handsome and powerful?

For her questions, Itachi picked a few to answer.He can tell Hua Shi about those innocuous things.As for the others, he could only vaguely mention them.

"It's just my duty, and I don't feel much about it....You can often see the third generation of your Excellency, and you are the same, isn't it? I am not familiar with everyone, and I don't know much about it."

Uchiha Itachi's ambiguous words made Hanatoki somewhat dissatisfied.But she thought about it carefully, if the affairs of Anbu can be said casually, then there is no meaning for this department to exist.It is precisely because Anbu is always mysterious, and even members have to wear masks when performing tasks, so she is curious and yearning for it.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on the courtyard, and the walls painted with tuanfan patterns cast oblique shadows on the ground.The blue sky is vast and boundless, and rows of white fluff-like clouds are scattered in the sky.

The tall trees behind the wall leaned over the top of the wall, stretching their slender branches and leaves towards the direction of the shadow.The leaves, which are gradually being dyed dark green, are silent in the air, and the topmost branches stretch towards the sky.

She was spotlessly dressed in her mission attire, white shorts and a dark long-sleeve top.She always loves to be clean, so before coming to Itachi, she tidied up her body very neatly, even the straps of her wrist guards were carefully arranged, so as not to be skewed.

However, Itachi said to her neatly: "Your forehead is crooked."

Hua Shi was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to touch his forehead, a little puzzled by his statement.

——Obviously checked before going out...

"It's really crooked." Itachi said solemnly, stretched out his arm and put it on her forehead, and said, "Let me help you tie it again."

Huashi put down his hand, allowing him to untie the strap of the forehead protector, and then tie it up again for her.Through his arms and black cuffs, she saw his face—a well-constructed face with eyes the color of black jewels.The long and black eyelashes trembled slightly, like a dragonfly in autumn, silently crossing the center of the lake.

There were subtle ripples in the heart lake, and they rippled around in circles.The scenery reflected on the lake's surface twisted slightly because of this.

Further upwards, there is a sky of azure blue.

She suddenly remembered that after she first got the forehead protector from the teacher of the ninja school, Itachi also made the forehead protector for her.

"Okay." Itachi put down his hand and looked at her forehead.

"Thank you." Hua Shi thanked her, and unconsciously reached out to touch the forehead protector.

"Hanatoki..." Just when Itachi opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, there were pattering footsteps at the door and Sasuke's familiar shout: "Brother!"

After the shout, Sasuke's figure flashed from the gate and rushed towards Itachi.Itachi had to stop the words in his mouth, and turned around to catch his body.The short man raised his head with short hair, tugged at his clothes, and said excitedly, "Brother, I found you!"

"It was agreed to teach me shuriken skills—" Sasuke said, "I only stayed with me for a while yesterday and then left."

When Itachi looked up at Hana who was standing on the sidelines, he looked down at Sasuke, and finally he had to smile and nod in agreement: "Okay."

Sasuke, who got his wish, was very happy, with little stars shining in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to hold Itachi's hand, and wanted to run towards the grove behind the clan's land.Itachi was dragged by him, walking fast and slow.When he was about to walk to the door, the tall figure of Uchiha Fugaku appeared at the door of the house.He was like a wall, stopping the two brothers.After a while of low-pitched words, Sasuke walked back with a disappointed face, while Itachi followed Fu Yue and left.

"Brother is like this again..." Sasuke was very disappointed: "It's too much to say 'next time' and 'next time' every time."

Looking at the lost Sasuke, Huashi felt that she and Sasuke were in the same sympathy.She also felt the same about Sasuke's loss.Every time Zhishui couldn't accompany her, she was so depressed.

"My brothers will become like this once they grow up." She patted the top of Sasuke's head and comforted, "I'm used to it."

Sasuke was very unaccustomed to her sudden pat on the top of his head, and quickly escaped from her palm, saying as he ran, "But Huashi is not busy at all when he grows up..."

"That's because I don't have a younger brother or younger sister." Hua Shi said it as a matter of course, without realizing the problem in her words.She looked at Sasuke's face that seemed to have been taken aback, and added embarrassingly: "Actually, I am also very busy! I am really very busy. I am an excellent ninja now, and I have to perform tasks during the day...repair the roof , Picking up trash or something, of course a child like you doesn’t know.”

Sasuke nodded thoughtfully, seeming to believe her words.

"Do you want me to teach you shuriken skills?" Hua Shi crossed his arms and asked, "My shuriken skills are no worse than Itachi's."

"No." Sasuke refused directly: "I just want my brother to teach me."

"..." Hua Shi frowned, and decided not to care about like a child.

"Forget it, I'm going home. Goodbye!" Hua Shi walked towards the door.

"Wait! Huashi... sister!" Sasuke yelled shyly, making Huashi turn his head with a satisfied look.She asked: "You finally understand that it is very rare to learn shuriken from an excellent ninja like me..."

"No." Sasuke shook his head and asked, "When did Huashi know brother?"

"Huh?" Hua Shi was taken aback.

She frowned and thought hard for a moment.

"It was when I was four years old." Huashi said, "You are younger than you are now. On the first day I went to school, I stood at the school gate because I didn't know the way home. He was the one who took me home. .”

"It turns out that Huashi doesn't know the way home!" Sasuke completely missed the point.

"Hi!" Hua Shi was a little annoyed.

"But when my brother said he knew Hanaji, you said you came from the trash can, so he was very impressed with Hanaji." The little Sasuke asked very seriously: "Where Hanaji really came from?" Did it come from the trash can?"

Time to spend.

This kind of childhood joke... How could Itachi still remember it?

Facing Sasuke's curious face with twinkling little stars, Hanahi smiled and said, "That's right, me, your brother, Your Excellency the fourth generation, and everyone else, including you too...all came from the trash can .”

Sasuke's face fell instantly.

Huashi smiled triumphantly.

As time passed, spring came to an end quietly, and summer was approaching, and the branches and leaves of the trees were gradually dyed in patches of dark color.The temperature is also rising, from chilly with a slight winter chill to complete warmth.

Lu Sheng sat in the dessert shop, with a serious face, coughed, and asked, "Hua Shi, do you know that there is a very important event in June?"

Huashi put down the empty bamboo stick in his hand and put it on the bowl.She thought for a while, then clapped her hands together, and said, "I know! June 6th is Itachi's birthday."

Lu Sheng held his forehead and sighed deeply.

"Before then? What days are there?" He tried to persuade.

"...It seems to be Mr. Lusheng's birthday?" Huashi said hesitantly: "Sorry, I remember wrong. Is there any birthday present you want?"

"Yes!" Lu Sheng replied decisively, making Hua Shi a little frightened.

"Let me read you a poem!" Lu Sheng took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, he glanced back from the corner of his eye, and saw friends hiding in a pile in the shadows.Hoshino Tei, Yoshida Shunsuke and Yamanaka Yuma pressed one another, curled up under the chair, looked up at them secretly.

"Read." Hua Shi waved his hand.

Lu Sheng cleared his throat, a little ashamed of the first sentence he said.His face was flushed, and his fingers that were pinching the crumpled paper trembled uncontrollably.

Hua Shi, who was sitting opposite him, looked at his demeanor, and asked suspiciously: "Are you all right? Have you suffered from heatstroke before summer?"

Lu Sheng read out the first sentence like a strong man going to death: "I, I am willing to be your shadow! Ah, your exclusive shadow."

The next words were relatively smoother, and he quickly read the rest of the poem in a very fast tone: "I want to follow you all the time and watch you grow and blossom. Ah——you are the twinkling stars in the sky, and I It's a pair of binoculars."

"No more?" Hua Shi asked.

"En." Lu Sheng put away the paper and stuffed it back into his pocket.The three little friends squeezed under the chair clenched their fists together and secretly called out hello.

"It was written by Hoshino, right?" Huashi said.

"Eh?" Lu Sheng was startled, nodded, and asked, "How do you know..."

"This poem has already been published in his collection of poems." Hua Shi pushed his empty plate towards the wall, stood up, and said, "Happy birthday, I have something to do today, so I'll leave first."
