"Almost from the time I was a child, living with my parents, I realized that I was different from others."

"Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a gift, this is a talent..."

"But for me, being different from others is more like being cursed."

"Until that day, I saw someone I didn't want to forget."

Who else would you not want to forget?

But Itachi just didn't want to say it clearly.

As if he was shy, he buried his head even deeper.

"It is this curse that reminds me all the time that the person I saw that day was not an illusion, nor did he appear out of thin air in my memory..."

Itachi paused and took a breath of air again - Neji really doubted whether there was really air to breathe inside the quilt.

Just treat it as if it exists.

"It tells me that you are real."

"Neji."

It was also from that time that Itachi felt that this was no longer a curse.

But "blessing".

Or it might be something that is destined to stay with him for the rest of his life.

But at this moment, Itachi was grateful to it.

“I will never want to forget you, nor will I forget you.”

A child less than one meter long meets someone he will never forget - this sounds like a fairy tale.

But Neji did not deny it.

In the dark night, the black and white eyes met quietly, but one person was speechless while the other was eager to try.

"Ningji...I..."

He comes here every day - after Sasuke falls asleep, of course.

Itachi has many selfish desires:

I want to look at him a few more times - children change every day, especially when the person I'm looking at is Hyuga Neji.

If he has no tasks, he can lie on the windowsill all day and watch his younger brother at the same time.

I'm always worried that something might happen to this person. Those guys in the main family always target the Hizashi couple. I feel uneasy if I don't come to see them.

It doesn't matter if Hiashi is not here, because...

He is always there.

It is because of what he has seen and experienced that Itachi knows the value of time and opportunity.

Neji's age - that's just appearance.

"I..."

But the pair of white eyes flickered and turned to the side after a moment.

"Itachi... I can't fulfill your wish anymore."

Just one sentence was enough to make Itachi freeze in his tracks.

"No...I'm not..."

"Some feelings are just..."

Neji swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and replaced them with a gentler approach.

"Perhaps... it's not something you think of subjectively..."

Just saying these words seemed to have used up all of Neji's strength.

The snake knew who was primarily responsible, and was playing cowardly at this time.

"I'll prove it to you."

But I don’t know which of Neji’s words gave Itachi courage.

"That was my decision - nothing else."

"Especially wishes."

"and..."

Itachi sat next to Neji and took out a roll of something that looked like a bandage from his arms.

"I am happy enough now."

"Do not..."

Neji subconsciously wanted to deny it, but was interrupted by the warmth coming from his palm.

Not human warmth,

It's that strap-like thing.

It wrapped around the palm of my hand in circles, bringing a familiar yet unfamiliar warmth.

Itachi wrapped his left hand around his right hand, and as he did so, he explained to Neji with a smile in his eyes:

"It's the formation technique that Madara made before. I improved it slightly and completed it recently."

"Luckily I made it in time."

He moved quickly and Itachi quickly entangled his right hand.

"Just being able to see you again is a miracle to me."

Itachi said this, stood up and took two steps forward.

In the darkness, Itachi's figure was erratic, but he would not blend into the darkness.

He fished one of Neji's legs out from under the covers, the feel of his hand making him uneasy.

"you..."

Neji pulled back, but Itachi gently pulled him back.

"Don't move...please."

Itachi lowered his head and begged.

The child really didn't move.

Hyuga Neji looks cold, but he is actually softer-hearted than anyone else.

Itachi was clinging quietly, his heart racing everywhere.

Slight edema under the skin, respiratory distress at night.

And what Sasuke said...

What happened during the day?

"This is..."

"actually..."

They both spoke at the same time, Itachi obediently motioning for Neji to speak first.

He gently tucked the legs back into the quilt and covered them again.

He walked back to the head of Neji's bed and sat down, looking like he was listening attentively.

He lives up to the nickname “Green Tea Boy” given by Tsunade.

Only in front of certain people, he is as obedient as a bee.

"I am very grateful to you."

Itachi understood what he meant and replied, "Him?"

It's about another Uchiha Itachi whom Itachi has never seen before.

But Neji just shook his head slightly: "Both sides."

Itachi clearly felt that just now, his heart, was it...

Definitely missed a beat.

"I?"

Uchiha Itachi couldn't believe it.

He thought Neji was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him, so he pretended not to know him.

Fortunately, Neji didn't intend to hide it, otherwise he would have missed out on it for the rest of his life.

"You... calmed down?"

"I am not angry."

Neji spoke in a serious manner, and it seemed like he was telling the truth.

"really?"

"real."

"I do not believe."

Then what are you asking?

Maybe a little.

Neji thought quietly.

But he himself didn't know what he was angry about, so he could only continue to deny it tirelessly.

"Not really."

"All right..."

The green tea man felt aggrieved and decided not to believe it behind Neci's back.

"Why don't you go back? Sasuke will report you again when he wakes up."

Itachi was hiding at Neji's place before, and when Sasuke woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see his brother, he called the police directly.

He was not worried about his brother's life safety, but suspected that his brother had committed a crime and asked the Konoha Guard, which was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Uchiha, to deal with it seriously.

The child spoke word by word, but the guards did not arrest Itachi, and instead told him about the incident.

"Let him be."

"Hizashi-senpai hasn't come back yet, you can't be alone now."

As soon as Itachi said this, Neji probably knew when he was coming.

As soon as Hizashi left, Itachi arrived on time.

"what ever."

Neji sighed, but didn't deny it: "What did you want to ask just now?"

"Has the situation during the day happened before?"

There is no genetic cause and almost no triggering factor. How could this disease suddenly appear in Neji?

"No."

"This is the first time."

No matter how strange you think.

Itachi is not a professional medical ninja, but that doesn't cover up the fact that he has been learning from Tsunade since he was a child.

Thanks to his extraordinary talent, Tsunade was able to teach him as a beginner in all these years.

Neji's symptoms were typical, and even if Tsunade came, the result would be the same.

"It'll be fine."

"must."

The more Itachi thought about the previous Neji, the more uneasy he became.

He wrapped his hands around Neji's left hand, not knowing who he was comforting.

"I will prove it to you, so please wait for me..."

"OK?"

It is not difficult to see Itachi from Shisui's performance over the years.

Neji has too many secrets, including that strange feeling.

"it is good..."

He heard the child respond softly, but his face was full of disbelief.

"Really? Can you please not regret it?"

Neji: Are you done yet?
