"ha?"
"So, Haruko, you... joined the Anbu?"
That evening, Anko learned that the lockdown on Orochimaru's former residence had been lifted, allowing her to go back and pack her things.
But then came the news that Qingchuan had joined the Dark Division.
I was completely stunned by this news!
Anko graduated at the age of ten, became a Chunin at the age of twelve, and went on missions with Orochimaru.
However, Orochimaru did not want Konoha to know about his affairs.
Therefore, there has always been a restriction on memory sealing in Hongdou's mind.
Red Bean's talents are actually quite good.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have caught Orochimaru's eye in the first place.
However, at present, there's still a gap between them and joining places like the Dark Side...
The Dark Side: A special unit employing assassination tactics throughout the entire operation.
It is Konoha's first and last line of defense.
Anko, a mere Chunin, wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing...
So it's no wonder they were so surprised and happy to learn that Qingchuan had joined the Dark Division.
"Holy crap! From now on, my sister will be relying on you to support her!"
"Hmm... Grandpa Third Generation even left this place for us to live in as well."
"They said they'd just have the secret service come over for a routine check."
As Qingchuan spoke, he silently took out Senbonzakura from under the bed.
"Senior, I have to go on a mission tomorrow..."
"After this is all done, I need to go to the Uchiha clan tonight to report to the clan leader."
"...Why don't you go to sleep first?"
Qingchuan's tone was somewhat flustered, and his gaze was somewhat evasive.
The main reason is that the red beans these days are truly... bold and unrestrained.
The original plan was to clean the house.
I probably sweated a bit, so I don't know where my outer clothes are.
From Qingchuan's perspective, he can always see some places where he doesn't know where to place his gaze.
There's a strange feeling...
I felt it was impolite to see it.
But not looking at it seems rather impolite.
So Qingchuan prepared to flee with his sword.
"Huh?"
Hongdou watched Qingchuan's departing figure with a strange look in her eyes.
But then she glanced at herself and immediately understood...
"Little Haruko, isn't it time for you to start puberty?"
.....
Uchiha clan territory.
"Itachi, have something to eat..."
Standing at her son's door, Mikoto's voice was filled with heartache.
The little Sasuke next to him can already walk on his own.
Standing beside her mother, she looked at her mother and then at her brother's tightly closed door, feeling somewhat lost.
"Your father still loves you. Just apologize to him..."
"What can't be discussed properly between a father and son?"
Mikoto tried her best to persuade her.
Itachi, who was kneeling in the room, opened his eyes, his gaze still filled with pain.
Admitting mistakes...
Was he wrong?
If he was wrong, why didn't his father answer him directly?
He did nothing wrong.
The father made a mistake, but he was unwilling to admit it and intended to make the same mistake again.
Because, in the eyes of the clan leader.
This mistake was clearly the right one for the Uchiha clan.
Itachi understands his father.
I truly understand.
But he also told himself that he could never become like his father.
forever!
"Mother, I'm not hungry, you should go back first."
His tone softened somewhat as Itachi adjusted his emotions, though his voice was a little hoarse.
"elder brother!"
Sasuke's face lit up with joy upon hearing his brother's voice!
"We're having fish for dinner tonight! It'll be delicious!"
Sasuke ate two fish!
Upon hearing his younger brother's voice, Itachi's expression became even more conflicted.
He had no intention of confronting his father; he simply wanted to state his position.
I'm not eating simply because I can't eat...
The thought that Haruko might still be undergoing a cold interrogation was unbearable.
How could he possibly eat that?
"Mikoto... Auntie?"
"Two pillars...little Sasuke?"
Just then, the girl's voice suddenly rang out from inside the courtyard.
It was Aokawa who had made his way back, intending to inform Fugaku that he had joined the Anbu.
"Haruko?!"
Mikoto was overjoyed when she saw who it was!
Little Sasuke, standing nearby, was startled and quickly hid behind his mother, peeking out with his little head to secretly observe...
"You're back?...Are you alright?"
Mikoto asked with concern, but didn't know where to begin.
All I can do is express my concern and worry at the same time...
"You've suffered, Haruko..."
Qingchuan smiled sweetly and gave a slight bow as a form of greeting.
"No way, the Third Generation Grandpa was a very nice person!"
"By the way, where's Itachi-kun?"
Mikoto's face immediately turned somewhat embarrassed. "He... is inside."
squeak--
At that moment, the wooden door opened.
Then came the appearance of Itachi's somewhat pale face and slightly red eyes.
Qingchuan suddenly had a sudden realization...
It's been half a year since we last met.
Why did Weasel turn into this?
"Then you two chat first."
Mikoto said with a sigh of relief, and then led Sasuke, whose eyes were fixed on his older sister, out as well.
In the courtyard.
The boy finally saw the girl again.
"Long time no see, Haruko."
"Um."
Qingchuan responded almost mechanically, then silently lowered his head.
Damn it.
If you know this, then you might as well not see Weasel.
But Fugaku was hiding not far away, watching, and I couldn't just ignore him.
Damn it.
I'm panicking... what should I do?
In the distance, Sasuke, who kept looking back, finally left the courtyard.
Looking at his mother with some curiosity, young Sasuke suddenly felt a little shy...
"Mommy, that pretty older sister..."
Who is it?
