Mixed with Konoha water everyday life

"I said, Sasuke, have you seen Hinata recently?"

"Hinata? I heard that she has started to take over the affairs of the clan. She must be very busy recently."

"I know, it's natural. Of course I know."

Naruko lowered her head quietly,

"But I don't like this very much. Everyone has become so busy."

Not only Hinata, Shikamaru Gachoji and the others have become extremely hardworking recently, almost as good as Sasuke before. Occasionally they will perform missions with them, and during the missions, they will also work extremely hard.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since Team [-] went on a mission together."

"Ah."

After recovering from their injuries, the big and small ninjas began to perform tasks one after another. Naruko's seventh class was unable to perform the task as a whole because of Hinata. Instead, Sasuke and Naruko were temporarily assigned to other classes to form a team. Perform some tasks.

Sasuke could tell that he missed Hinata very much, or missed spending time with Hinata. Although he occasionally went to Hinata's house to see Hinata, it was difficult to stay together all day like before, and Sasuke knew very well, Not only is it 'difficult', I'm afraid we will never have the opportunity to work together as a team to perform tasks like before.

Naruko asked him if he had seen Hinata recently. Sasuke's answer could not be regarded as an answer, because he did not want to lie to Naruko. He had seen Hinata, or in other words, Hinata came to see him specifically.

The always strong Hinata came to find her and told her that she might not be able to continue her mission as a ninja in the future. She wanted to concentrate on taking over the affairs of the clan, asked Sasuke to take good care of Naruko, and asked herself to keep it a secret.

In fact, even if Hinata didn't have to keep it a secret, Sasuke didn't dare to tell Naruko about it. He didn't even dare to tell Naruko that he was leaving.

If possible, Sasuke really wants to stay with Naruko, but if he really does this, he will never be able to protect her, and he will have to become stronger.

All I can do now is spend as much time with her as possible.

"Naruko."

"Ok?"

"If Naruko, why do you like me?"

For some reason, Sasuke blurted out this question.To be honest, Sasuke doesn't think he is a good enough person, at least in terms of feelings, he is more like an idiot.

Naruko only fell in love with him because the two of them cared about each other more, and if she left, Naruko would also fall in love with someone else. I was worried.

"Why are you rubbing my face?"

Naruko held Sasuke's face and stared into his eyes suspiciously, fearing that Hinata would use the transformation technique to tease her again. After confirming that it was not a transformation technique, she lowered her hand.

"Nothing, just to confirm, but why are you still asking this kind of question now?"

"It's just that you care a little, are you embarrassed?"

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Why do I like you? Of course it's because Sasuke is good-looking."

"Am I so bad on the inside?"

"I can't help it, after all, Sasuke is so good-looking."

"You know that's not the answer I want to hear."

"I can't help it. Who makes you so beautiful? It's hard to lie to you."

"If someone is prettier than me, will you also fall in love with someone else?"

"But Sasuke is the prettiest."

"How pretty?"

"The most beautiful in the world."

A superficial answer without any connotation. To be honest, Sasuke didn't want to know why. What he wanted was more like a guarantee that even if he left, Naruko's heart would not change.

Obviously, just looking good could not satisfy Sasuke. He turned his head away silently, not wanting Naruko to see his disappointed expression, but Naruko seemed to be aware of his thoughts and continued,

"You look good when you are worried about me, you look good when you take care of me, you look good when you are indifferent, you look good when you are arrogant, you look even better when you blush, you are the most beautiful in the world. I can't imagine finding someone as good-looking as Sasuke again. After all, I The one I like is Sasuke."

I don’t like you because you are beautiful, but because I like you, you are so beautiful in my eyes.

"This...that's it."

Naruko's answer made Sasuke's disappointed face turn red again. He seemed quite satisfied with the answer, but he still felt awkward and didn't want Naruko to see it.

"If you feel happy, you can show it."

"It's noisy."

"Hmmmm~"

After the two chatted together for a long time, Sasuke sent Naruko home, reluctantly said goodbye to her, and prepared to return to his home.

At the door of the house, I met Itachi and Izumi who were about to go out.

Seeing Sasuke suddenly appear at the door, Quan's heart tightened. He didn't know if it was the psychological shadow of the past. The person who can snatch Itachi away from him is often not the wild flowers outside, but this younger brother, and he can definitely snatch one away. .

As soon as this guy appeared, he would pester Itachi, and then he would lose his foothold. Moreover, every time he took something away, he would never hide his pride and laugh at himself as if he was declaring his sovereignty.

Didn't I hear recently that this guy is also in a relationship?Why did you suddenly appear again? Are you still not planning to let Itachi go?Do you still want to ride on two boats?

Under the tension, Quan unconsciously held Itachi's hand a little tighter, and his expression became a little more alert, as if the person appearing across from him was a demon who could snatch away his beloved treasure at any time.

Feeling the change in his lover, Itachi didn't offer any comfort, he just smiled at Sasuke,

"came back?"

Sasuke nodded,

"Well, where is father?"

"I'm waiting for you in the living room, go quickly."

"it is good."

After a simple exchange, Sasuke left like this. Before leaving, he even nodded to Izumi. This was probably his way of showing goodwill.

Itachi also planned to use this fact to tell Quan that Sasuke was no longer the child who clung to him all day long.

It's just that Izumi didn't seem to have recovered, and he couldn't even understand Sasuke's action of nodding just now.

"Sasuke him..."

"You have grown up."

"It's true. He is no longer the child who cried when I hugged him."

"Let's go eat meatballs."

"Um……"

Although this is a better thing for him, Quan, who is used to being nervous, actually feels a little uncomfortable.

In the living room, Fugaku, who was sitting quietly on the main seat, looked at Sasuke who walked in.

"came back."

"Well, father."

"The village and the daimyo have reached an agreement. In the next period of time, the task of protecting the daimyo has been handed over to the Uchiha clan."

In the last war, Fugaku's contribution and ability deserved such recognition. The protection of the Daimyo was not only a task, but also the trust of Konoha and even the entire Fire Nation in Uchiha.

"The Daimyo's escort will be led by Shisui. The mission is very long. I didn't originally plan to let you go. However, although I am very reluctant to leave, since you insist on going, I will let Shisui take care of you."

"Thank you, Father."

"There's no need to thank you. Please write more letters to your family when you have time. Your mother is very reluctant to leave you."

"I know."

"Also, Naruko, what are your plans?"

"This one……"

Fugaku, who originally didn't care much about the relationship between his two sons, had to take time to care about Itachi's refusal to inherit the family head. But seeing Sasuke's hesitant look, he probably also thought about how to tell Naruko. , he started a topic that was not very good, and quickly changed the topic,

"In short, you must take care of yourself after going outside."

"Yes."
