"Itachi-kun, I've come here... actually to say goodbye."
In the courtyard, Qingchuan forced himself to speak.
Fugaku is nearby, but he shows no sign of appearing. I wonder what he's up to.
Aokawa had no choice but to muster up the courage to tell Itachi.
"Saying goodbye?!"
Itachi's already weak face turned deathly pale.
Is the situation really that serious?!
But what does that man's betrayal have to do with Haruko?
"Don't worry, Itachi."
Qingchuan raised his head and casually brushed a stray strand of hair behind his ear.
"The Third Hokage is very impressed with my medical ninjutsu and has already agreed to let me join the Anbu."
"I'll probably be very busy in the future, and I don't think I'll have many more opportunities to go back to my ancestral home."
"And you might even miss your Chunin Exams..."
"Feel sorry."
The Third Hokage, medical ninjutsu, Anbu...
So that's how it is.
Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from his heart.
only....
After learning this news.
Itachi realized that he couldn't seem to be happy anymore.
"However, even if I can't go to Itachi's exam, I'll still cheer him on!"
Qingchuan smiled slightly and encouraged him.
Behind that green tea smile, there's a hint of smugness to it...
Chunin Exams, huh?
I don't need it!
After joining the Anbu, the titles of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin immediately became less important.
The system directly sent the rewards and also reorganized the new tasks.
[Side Quest: Master Bankai and awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.]
[Unique buff: When wearing women's clothing, cultivation progress is increased by 100%, and all male characteristics are concealed]
[Unique buff: Recovery speed +250% when smiling]
[Unique buff: Healing effect increased by 100%]
Aokawa, who was ahead of the curve, skipped the Chunin level and became an Anbu member, and this time the reward was exceptionally generous.
At the very least, with puberty approaching, I won't need to cover my neck with a headband anymore...
Not to mention the almost insane buff bonuses.
It can be said that if he wanted to, he could practice 24/7 without any breaks!
so.
Qingchuan smiled very happily and sincerely!
If things continue like this...
When the day comes for him to take off his skirt, no matter how strong Itachi is or how ruthless Tsuchiko is!
He, Uchiha Aokawa, will also be fearless!
However.
Qingchuan's smile was more sincere.
As Itachi watched, he felt increasingly uneasy...
"Thank you, Haruko."
"I will definitely work harder."
A simple thank you, a simple promise.
Itachi really couldn't be happy.
The distance is getting farther and farther...
Itachi had a misconception.
The Haruko standing before me is still the same Haruko from a year ago.
He silently cultivated in the grove of trees in the clan's territory. Even though he was right next to her, he could never muster the courage to say hello.
But... if that's really the case, then it's actually not bad.
Haruko has now joined the Dark Division.
And he... wasn't even a Chunin.
No wonder his father confined him to the house and forbade him from going out.
What can he possibly do to help Haruko?
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
"Cough!"
At that moment, a rather authoritative, affected cough rang out.
Qingchuan raised an eyebrow, looked over, and gave a slight bow.
"Chieftain."
It was then that Uchiha Fugaku appeared.
After watching for a long time, it finally appeared.
Itachi remained standing in the same spot; his father's arrival did nothing to improve his mood.
"Haruko, the Third Hokage has already told me about your joining the Anbu."
Fugaku glanced at his son and said slowly to Aokawa.
He remained dignified, but his praise was undisguised, just like an elder who was happy for his juniors.
"Don't have any worries, just focus on training in the dark. Your uncle and aunt have high hopes for you."
As he spoke, Fugaku took out another scroll from his bosom.
"These are some Fire Release ninjutsu from the Uchiha clan. Keep them as a gift to celebrate your joining the Anbu."
"After the mission is over, you should come back to the clan's territory. Your uncle will guide your cultivation."
Qingchuan looked at the scroll in front of him.
Instinctively, I wanted to offer a token refusal.
But she accepted it anyway, smiled sweetly, and bowed.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Wait, Uncle?
Qingchuan, who had gotten a free scroll, suddenly felt something was off.
But my hands and mouth were too fast, and it seemed too late.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Fugaku's eyes.
While Qingchuan was internally cursing, he glanced at Itachi again and nodded.
"Then I'll go home and prepare for tomorrow's tasks."
"Goodbye, Itachi-kun!"
Qingchuan, who only wanted to escape, quickly took his leave.
Fugaku... is no worse than Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As Qingchuan left the courtyard with small, quick steps, he only belatedly realized what was happening.
I was so focused on how delicious it was that I almost forgot what Fugaku said.
It will guide your spiritual practice...
What's the difference between this and buying him to be a spy with a scroll?
Although it hasn't been explicitly stated yet.
But I reckon after a few rounds of guidance, he won't be able to escape...
Qingchuan chuckled inwardly.
Fire Release?
I'm a medical ninja!
...
He watched the girl walk further and further away.
a long time.
As if a string in his heart had suddenly snapped, Itachi abruptly knelt down in the direction of his father!
"Father! I was wrong before! I was too short-sighted!"
"Please forgive me, Father!"
"Please, Father... guide my cultivation!"
The sound of a weasel.
Trembling, yet utterly resolute...*
