Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

It was already dawn and time for duty was almost here, Itachi thought he wouldn't be able to sleep.

When Chi Qing came back, a while had passed.

Itachi woke up with a start, he felt the chill on Chi Qing's body: "Where have you been?"

I was originally planning to wait until my body was warm before getting into bed, but since Itachi woke up first, Chi Qing took off his coat without hesitation and got into bed: "Warm~"

Itachi was held in his arms and acted as a "warm baby" without any complaints.

It was almost time to go out, and Chi Qing had no intention of letting him go: "Chi Qing, I should go out now."

"Sleep with me for a while longer." Chi Qing stretched out his hand and stroked Itachi's hair, while holding him with his other hand, as if to coax him to sleep: "Be good, sleep for a while longer."

Itachi looked at Chi Qing who was so close to him, then looked at the clock in the distance, weighed it for a while, and then closed his eyes.

I'll skip work for a while... I believe the Hokage won't pursue it.

The two little ones got up early, changed their clothes and prepared to go to school, but they didn't see any familiar figures.

Naruto was a little confused for a moment, and saw a simple can of milk and a sandwich on the table, as well as a note that read: I will send your lunch to school today.

Naruto took the pen and replied: OK~

Then he and Sasuke took breakfast out and ate while walking.

On the way to school, Sasuke saw a drunk lying on the side of the road. There were obvious signs of fighting on his body, and his brows were slightly frowned...

Several hours had passed since Itachi woke up. The people around him had woken up at some point and were staring at him.

"Awake?" He had a smile in his eyes, and was obviously no longer angry: "Did you sleep well?"

Itachi nodded with red ears: "Yeah."

Surrounded by Chi Qing's scent, he slept peacefully.

"Good morning Itachi." Chi Qing kissed him gently on the forehead: "Good morning kiss, lie down for a while or get up."

The redness of Itachi's ears spread to his neck and face: "Wake up."

"Okay." Chi Qing looked at his immature appearance and suppressed the urge to bully him.

After preparing the children's lunch boxes, he and Itachi sent them there before going home for lunch.

It was already afternoon, so Chi Qing treated today as a day off and had no intention of opening the store.

He took Itachi with him to "skip work".

Watching Chi Qing leisurely drinking tea and reading a book, Itachi hesitated for a while before asking again: "What were you busy with last night?"

"I'm reading the letter and replying to it." Chi Qing answered without even raising his head.

Hearing this answer, Itachi's heart skipped a beat and he remained silent.

Seeing that Itachi didn't say anything, Chi Qing raised her head and was stunned to see that he looked hurt.

Chi Qing tried hard to recall which word he had just said that made Itachi sad.

Then I realized that Itachi was too focused on the fact that he was busy replying to letters last night. Why?

Chi Qing always felt that he had missed some news.

After thinking for a while, he told Itachi in detail: "The letter was written by a kid from the Hidden Sand Village. Do you remember that I went to the Hidden Sand Village before?"

Seeing Itachi nod, Chi Qing continued: "That's when I met him. He's the Kazekage's youngest son. He's the same age as little Naruto this year."

In other words, when we first met, he was just a little kid of three or four years old.

"He has written me many letters over the past few years. I just received them yesterday. In order to finish writing them before the envoy from the Hidden Sand Village returns, I was writing back to him last night."

……

Itachi reported to the Hokage Building the next day.

However, the Third Hokage just glanced at him and said nothing.

There was a deep meaning in this look, which Itachi could not understand for a moment.

Later I found out that he was not absent from work yesterday, it was Chi Qing who went to the Hokage to ask for leave early in the morning...
