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

Itachi stood beside Chi Qing and consciously wanted to help him share the things in his hands.

Chi Qing dodged his hand and said, "You take care of the child, I can do it myself."

He looked at Erzhuzi, who was born not long ago and still in swaddling clothes, and felt curious.

"Like a girl." Chi Qing put the thing in his hand on the ground, half-knelt in front of Itachi, and pointed a finger at little Sasuke.

"Ahaha~" Little Sasuke laughed and grabbed Chi Qing's fingers.

Chi Qing widened her eyes: "He seems to like me very much."

"Well, Sasuke likes you very much." Itachi nodded in affirmation.

Because just now when facing Uchiha Izumi, little Sasuke's face was full of resistance, and he even started crying when she hugged him.

"It's an honor." Chi Qing pulled back his finger before little Sasuke was about to put it in his mouth.

Chi Qing fumbled in his backpack, pulled out a scroll, and with a "bang" a rattle appeared in his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom~" Chi Qing shook the rattle from side to side, and the sound of the rattle immediately attracted little Sasuke's attention.

Little Sasuke stretched out his hands wanting the toy, and Chi Qing wiped the surface with his clothes and put them into little Sasuke's hands.

"Is this for Sasuke?"

"Well, just consider it a meeting gift. Fortunately, Sasuke likes it very much."

Although this was originally intended to be given to the unborn Naruto, it might seem a bit perfunctory to give it to little Sasuke instead, but as long as he doesn't say anything, no one will know, right?

"I thank you on behalf of Sasuke." Itachi's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Our Itachi really looks like a brother~" Chi Qing poked Itachi's chubby cheek and said, "I really envy little Sasuke for having such a gentle brother."

Itachi's originally upturned mouth corners fell and he looked at Chi Qing: "If you yell like that again, I will tell the Hokage what you just said."

Chi Qing: "..."

Minato is a very gentle man, but he is a bit of a black person.

If Minato heard that he "envied other people's brothers", the consequence would be that he would let himself feel the "love of his brother".

Very good, the child has grown up and learned to threaten himself.

Chi Qing glared at Itachi, and took advantage of the fact that Itachi was holding Sasuke and had no free hands to "sneak attack" him.

She ruffled Itachi's neatly combed hair and pinched his cheek.

Before he could react, he waved goodbye: "See you next time Itachi~"

"..."

Itachi looked at his back as he ran away and whispered, "Childish."

He lowered his head and looked at the little Sasuke in his arms and found that little Sasuke was staring at him curiously.

Perhaps because his current appearance was too strange, Sasuke laughed again.

"Are you making fun of my brother?" Itachi pursed his lips slightly, stretched out his index finger and gently tapped his brother's forehead: "That's Brother Chi Qing, he's a very strange guy."

Sasuke tilted his head, obviously not understanding what his brother was saying.

Today, I met Chi Qing, whom I hadn't seen for half a year, and Itachi was unexpectedly in a good mood.

Moreover, he could feel that Chi Qing had become even stronger. It seemed that this training had allowed him to make a breakthrough.

Itachi still can't forget the scene when the village was attacked last year and Chi Qing went home to get something. Before he could reach the shelter, he was attacked by the enemy. Itachi protected him in his arms and used his body to block the attack.

To him, I am just a friend's younger brother, right?

Why would he do this?

Later, as they spent more time together, Itachi sometimes discovered that Chi Qing seemed to be looking at another person through him.
