[Hokage] Flower Time

This kind of thought seemed to have taken root, and it could not be erased from her heart no matter what.

I don't want my brother to be with other people.

I don't want to be with anyone other than my brother.

As long as there are two of them, it's fine...?

Huashi thought this way, paying attention to Shisui's back all the way, and walked towards Uchiha's clan.Her feet stepped on the path paved with stones, and crushed a green leaf that fell here at an unknown time.

"Brother..." She suddenly stopped and shouted.

Zhishui also froze, turned his head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It seems..." Hua Shi frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to the woods on the side: "It seems that someone is watching me."

That's right, she heard something strange.It's like the pace of someone's cloak rubbing against a dry branch, deliberately lightening their steps, and then disappearing quietly.

"Really?" Zhishui followed her gaze and looked aside.

The green leaves in the forest swayed silently with the wind, and occasionally the fragile fallen leaves fell down under the pressure.Huashi took two steps closer, she put her hands on the branches of the tree, and swiped the branches and leaves to both sides.

Nothing.

Only a petal of summer flowers floated down from the branch, turned over several times, and finally fell on the soil. The faint light yellow color was covered by dead branches and yellow-green fallen leaves.

"There's nothing." Huashi let go of the branch in his hand, and the branch with a bunch of leaves swayed back to its original position.She tugged on Zhishui's sleeve and said, "Let's go."

Zhishui touched the top of her head, took her hand and walked slowly towards the clan.

Before the two of them reached the main gate of the clan ground, they saw the two brothers of the patriarch's family—Itachi, carrying Sasuke on his back, walking towards the gate of the clan ground.The two of them were taken aback when they saw the Shisui brothers and sisters, especially Sasuke, who was carried on Itachi's back, blushed.

"Good evening, Hanahi, Shisui-kun." Itachi nodded towards the two of them, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "I'm really sorry, I couldn't watch the individual competition of Huashi. I made an appointment to accompany Sasuke today. "

"It's okay." Huashi held Zhishui's hand, feeling very satisfied - as long as his brother came, it was enough.Her gaze fell on Sasuke's blushing face, and she said, "Sasuke is so old, does he still need his brother to carry it? I can go to school by myself at the age of four."

"...That's not it!" Sasuke pointed to his bandaged ankle, and said, "It's because my foot was injured, so..."

"I know, I know." Huaji waved his hand and said, "Sasuke is going to school tomorrow, right? He even sprained his foot today. You can't let Itachi carry you to school, can you?"

Sasuke's face turned even redder.

Looking at Sasuke's appearance, Huashi couldn't help but want to laugh.She said in a regrettable tone: "After enrolling, I will be locked up in the school every day to recite the ninja regulations, and I will not have the opportunity to watch the ceremony where the third generation of Zhongnin qualification certificates are issued."

"I don't want to watch it." Sasuke turned his head and lay on Itachi's back.

Watching the two small ones bickering with each other, the two big ones can only act as a moving background, and one smiles softer than the other.

What broke this harmony was the words of the patriarch Fugaku-sama.

"Itachi, Sasuke, you are too slow."

Fu Yue leaned against the gate of the clan land, and with his peripheral vision, he glanced at the four people standing at the gate one by one.Itachi and Shisui were stunned for a moment, then Itachi smiled apologetically at Hanatoki, and walked towards Fuyue with Sasuke on his back.

Fu Yue took one last look at Shishui, then turned and walked into the gate of the clan.

"Let's go home too." Zhishui tightened Huashi's hand again.

Huashi didn't move, she looked down at her toes, and after a long time, she squeezed out a sentence: "That...brother."

"What's wrong?" Zhishui asked.

"Brother hasn't recited me for a long time." Huashi looked up at him, and counted with his fingers seriously: "The last time I recited me was on my tenth or ninth birthday, because I fell asleep at the door of the house. so……"

Hearing her words, Zhishui couldn't help but laugh.He said: "Wasn't Huashi still saying that Sasuke needed Itachi to carry him home? Wasn't that powerful enough? Huashi is much bigger than Sasuke."

"I..." Hua Shi lowered her head again, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Forget it."

"Okay." Zhishui squatted down and said, "I'll carry you this time. For such a big man, I still need my brother to carry me home. Telling it will make others dumbfounded. For example, I was punched by you today. Hit Yang Dou-kun who flew out, right?"

Huashi's face turned slightly red.

——But, who cares so much!

She hugged Zhi Shui's neck and buried her head on his back.Zhishui's short hair poked her forehead, making her feel itchy.She closed her eyes slightly, and through the gap between Zhishui's neck and shoulders, she looked at the blue curtain of the clan that was getting closer.

Has the group fan clan emblem been changed this year?The colors seem a little brighter...

"Who made Huashi the great princess of the Uchiha clan." Shisui joked: "We all know that Huashi has a princess-like temper, so my brother can only let you."

"What!" Hua Shi shouted dissatisfied.

She even said that she has a princess-like temper...

It seems right.

She has never been very gentle, even Yang Doujun despised her for being too violent.Should I be more gentle with my brother in the future?For example, take the initiative to wash clothes, or help my brother cook and so on...

The sun is so warm in the summer evening.

I can't help but think about it when I spend it.

She raised her eyes, trying to see Zhishui's face clearly, but she could only see his short black hair no matter what.His body is very warm, his arms are also very strong, everything is so young and vigorous.

This tender feeling...

It was as if a seed had sprouted quietly in my heart.

It was as if a burst of light had leaked across the river and fell on the pebbles at the bottom.

Like the afternoon sun, gently soothing every inch of veins and lines on the leaves.

I really want to be with my brother forever.

The two passed through the gate of the clan land and walked towards their home.While Shisui was walking, he wanted to look at Huashi from the corner of his eye.The hand that hung from his shoulder when he swept the flowers, her gauntlet was neatly tied, and there was a scratch on the back of the delicate hand that was rubbed by Kunai.

"Brother, I'm about to become a Zhongnin." Huashi suddenly whispered in his ear, "In this way, I can perform missions with my brother and the clansmen."

"That's right." Zhishui said.

His eyes dimmed imperceptibly.

Has Hanahi reached this age...?

If the affairs of the clan are destined to be unavoidable, can we find a better home for her?If everything that Mr. Fuyue said can't be stopped, then it takes time...

He thought silently, without saying a word, until he stepped into the gate of his own house.

On the day Sasuke entered school, it was Fugaku who attended his entrance ceremony.

Huashi was on vacation on this day, and she saw the father and son walking towards the ninja school early. Although Master Fuyue was still serious, Sasuke had an unstoppable look on his face.

...Stupid Sasuke, ninja school is nothing to look forward to!

Seeing the figures of Sasuke and Master Fuyue disappearing at the gate of the clan, she couldn't help but look up at the head of Hokage on the hillside of Konoha Village.She thought of the scene on her first day of school, and couldn't help but feel nostalgia welling up in her heart.

Unknowingly, the fourth generation has passed away for so many years.

When she entered school, she thought that she would be able to see the fourth generation of His Excellency again when she graduated, but in the end, she never saw him again.

Huashi sighed, and started to do the real thing - tidy up the mailbox.

Well, love letters, love letters, advertisements, love letters, burn them all together.

She sorted all the letters into a stack, while peeking at Zhishui standing in the yard teasing the crow.Looking at the forehead protector on Zhishui's forehead and the neatly worn armor on her body, she couldn't help reminding: "Brother, there is a gathering in the clan tonight, remember to come back early."

Zhishui's hand that teased the crow froze, and he nodded.

The crow landed affectionately on his shoulder.

Uchiha's gathering seems to be becoming more and more dangerous.

The words of each rally are more provocative.Every time I see the clansmen, the hatred and dissatisfaction with the village center grows.Amid such discussions and protests, even Shishui couldn't continue to think calmly.

——If this continues...

He frowned, looked through the crowd, and looked at the patriarch Fu Yue sitting at the head.

Fu Yue ignored the clansmen who had been whispering beside him, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture at Hua Shi.

"Being able to be promoted to Chunin with such excellent results is worthy of being a descendant of Uchiha Kagami." Fu Yue closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again.When he looked at the flower cautiously, he said: "Don't be afraid of me.... I just want you to know that you are also an excellent member of our Uchiha clan."

Fu Yue's praise did not relieve Hua Shi's discomfort.

Obviously in the past, she really hoped to be recognized by everyone at the rally...

But now she felt inexplicably afraid.

Fu Yue stuffed a handful of kunai into her hands, frowned slightly, and said, "I hope you can also work hard for our Uchiha clan."

Huashi's fingers clenched Kunai's handle.She raised her head, her gaze shifted from Kunai to Fu Yue's face, full of confusion.Although she didn't understand, she didn't know how to convey her thoughts, so she could only pretend that she had already received the patriarch's kindness, and quietly lowered her body and said, "Yes."

Her black hair brushed against the tatami under her body, and the kunai in her hand reflected a ray of light under the firelight.

Sitting deep in the darkness, Itachi couldn't help closing his eyes, as if a sigh escaped from the corner of his lips.
