Although Kushina and Minato are now nominally adopting Aoi, in the end she still carries the Uchiha clan emblem on her back. Even if Minato and his wife do not make any requirements for her ninja studies, the energetic child will Find a childhood sweetheart in the Uchiha clan and blend in.

After all, there was nothing I could do. Even if it was a normal game, Aoi had already beaten all the children in the small clearing without losing. He felt that it was not challenging, and he started going there again after a certain period of time.

especially……

Some brats used rocks to shame Itachi for ignoring them.

Although she was humiliating herself in the end, it didn't stop her from frowning like a fly.

She won them in the game and cried so much that she went to sue her parents. After being criticized by a group of adults, either openly or covertly, she no longer wanted to play with these childish ghosts.

Yijiang is not happy

It's better to go find Itachi, at least he has the maturity closest to an adult among all the children Aoi has ever seen.

"What is life?" 』

At least the children who came back from the battlefield have begun to think about such profound questions.

Aoi had never thought about such a problem.

In the constant loss, all that gradually comes to mind is——

"What is death?" 』

What have we gained/lost.

The answer to the first question seems to be coming soon.

When the first snow fell in early winter, Aunt Mikoto began to give birth to a new life in her belly, which meant Itachi was going to be a brother.

"It would be nice if it was my sister."

After learning the news, Aoi couldn't help but sigh, and even looked at Itachi with a bit of melancholy.

My brother likes Aoi, so it must be his younger sister! He will definitely be a lovable kid! I just didn’t expect that Itachi, who is about the same age as me, would also be an older brother...

"I think it's my brother."

"Wouldn't it be nice to ask Aunt Mikoto? Mom should know the gender of the baby, right?"

He immediately dragged Itachi to ask Mikoto, and what he finally got was that the baby hadn't grown up yet, so he couldn't tell the answer to male or female.

Aoi frowned unhappily when she didn't get an answer.

They practice darts every day on a small target in the yard. Geniuses like them can already hit the target with just a single shot like this. So far, in order to increase the difficulty, they only use their little hands to pick up a few more and try to make them reach the red heart at the same time.

While several of Aoi's darts were still flying around, Itachi could at least make them stop on the target.

The obvious gap made her impatient.

Now Aoi is a child who is easily irritable, but she is often aware that at such times she will temporarily stop her actions and do something that does not seem too excessive to relieve some of her impulses.

Although now I really want to try to fight Itachi to prove that I haven't lost or anything——

In fact, all he could do was sit leisurely in the corridor and hit the red hearts with his darts one by one, in order to regain some touch and confidence and calm down his mood.

Itachi glanced at her after she changed the training content, and quickly and silently devoted himself to his own training.

"Itachi, Aoi-chan, come and have a rest. We have prepared your favorite refreshments~"

When the two children heard this, their eyes lit up and they ran towards the kitchen.

In order to prevent the white and clean baby teeth from being contaminated, adults have strict restrictions on eating snacks, desserts, etc. But correspondingly, every time they enjoy it, they will be extra satisfied.

After taking away the desserts, they sat on the corridor in the backyard. The fine snow of early winter was floating in the sky, and there was a slight cool breeze, which calmed down the bodies that had just been active.

"It's so slow——"

"What's so slow?"

"The baby hasn't grown up yet, so I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl."

Although it had only been more than a month since she got the news, Aoi, who was staring closely at the baby who was still pregnant and full of expectations for new things, was really eager to witness the baby's birth.

"You will always know, don't worry."

"Oh - Itachi, you are too calm. You are obviously the one who is the older brother! Act like you are looking forward to it!"

"Are you looking forward to——"

He stopped talking and was so silent that Cang Yi was a little confused.

"Weasel?"

"Cang Yi, tell me, what is life?"

Hey hey hey, Weasel, did you ask some questions that are not appropriate for a child of this age?

"Life is living."

Because alive, we carry everything in the past, carry the memories that can no longer be taken back, and move towards an unknown future.

Will the future be the same as the past?

Will it be a future full of despair?

Will it be a promising future?

This, only living people can give the answer by turning the future into the present.

"The answer to the question what life is, can only be found by living."

After all, we who have witnessed the death of countless lives understand death very well.

Ana vomited.

She was still eating her favorite Ichiraku Ramen, and suddenly felt sick, dropped her chopsticks and ran away.

Minato followed nervously, but Aoi was stunned on the spot, holding the half-eaten noodles in his mouth at a loss.

"Oh, what's wrong with Kushina? She's always had a good appetite—"

Uncle Yile touched his chin and thought, but when he saw the noodles falling from his mouth and followed by the child running out, his eyes seemed to gain a little more understanding.

Facing the Yondaime who hurried back to tell him how to pack ramen, Ichiraku showed a kind smile and patted the man on the shoulder with encouragement.

"Let's take Kushina to the hospital another day."

Maybe there will be a surprise.
