After eating and drinking, we parted ways.

Obito and Lin walked east along the road, Hanase waved them goodbye, thought of something, went back to the store and bought two more dumplings to pack, and the things in her hands suddenly became spectacular.Turning around and seeing that Kakashi hadn't left yet, he was the first to question her behavior: "Buy so much?"

"I still have to visit the patriarch's house." Hanase walked up to him and asked casually, "Are you waiting for me?"

"It's just on the way." Kakashi answered fluently, with no change in tone.

"Okay, let's go back by the road by the river."

Hanase didn't want to get to the bottom of it, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a suggestion.

Compared with the original distance, the road by the river is a long way around.

Kakashi realized this, and he didn't have any thoughts at first, but at this moment, there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable.

Walking to a place where there were few people, Hanase broke the silence between the two of them: "A new batch of ninjas have emerged. Hokage-sama seems to mean to disperse the power and spread it evenly in order to achieve a more stable power."

Kakashi's footsteps slowed down: "Sensei Minato said?"

"Well, it's not completely determined yet." Hanase nodded, looking sideways at Kakashi, "But Kakashi and I should be assigned to two different teams."

"..."

Kakashi turned his gaze to meet her black and clear eyes.

"I'm very happy to partner with you, but it's a pity that I couldn't continue afterwards." Hanase expressed her inner thoughts frankly as always, and at the same time showed a friendly smile, "Although Kakashi took care of me as a junior, I Think we should be friends?"

"……Yes."

Kakashi's answer was not decisive, just because his thoughts were still stuck on the "team message" he had just learned.

Uchiha Hanase is a good teammate, there is no doubt about it.Always be able to obtain beneficial information quickly and efficiently, and can clearly understand the essence of the plan with just a few words or sometimes even just a look. The speed of the brain is extraordinary, and the thinking is concise and clear, which is amazing.When partnering with her, she will never waste any unnecessary time. Kakashi has never experienced the so-called "teammate running-in period" since he performed the mission. Uchiha Hanase is his best partner.The team is usually a three-person team, usually accompanied by a ninja, and sometimes the team acts independently.Previously, Kakashi always believed that even if the formation was normalized into three people, the combination of him and Hanase would not change.But I never expected that the higher-ups planned to share the backbone force equally.

It is true that he and Uchiha Hanase are indeed the elite of the new generation of power, so it is understandable to have this consideration...

It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that his expression was not very good, Hanase asked tentatively, "Kakashi, what's bothering you?"

"I'm thinking about what kind of new teammate I'll meet." Kakashi turned his face away slightly, concealing the lingering emotions on his face, and when he looked again, he had returned to normal, "As long as it's not a guy with a crane tail like Obito, how come Everything is fine."

"Although I don't want to hit you, but judging from the point of 'balance power', maybe Obito will really be assigned to you based on your school grades." Hanase said with a smile in her eyes, "After all, Kaka Xi, you are really good."

"Based on this calculation, the chances of being assigned to you are also..." Kakashi sighed on the ground, "Forget it, you must not be good at dealing with that kind of troublesome spirit."

Hanase thought for a while: "Obito is very cute."

"Is there sand in your eyes?"

Kakashi was nonchalant.

Hanase stared at his profile, and said, "You and Kakashi are two different styles of cuteness."

Kakashi's back trembled clearly for a moment, his eyes filled with unbelievable and unbearable, "You actually use this kind of words to describe me?"

"I knew you wouldn't be able to bear it." Hanase was very prescient, "I wanted to say it before, but I was afraid of destroying the harmony between our partners, and now I can finally tell the truth."

"...The truth is that I am cute?"

"Yes."

"Okay, break up." Kakashi stretched out a finger, obviously refusing Hanase to continue to say something earth-shattering. Dabu distanced himself from Hanase, "I take back all the affirmative answers just now."

Hanase: "..."

Hanase: "A fickle man."

Kakashi: "..."

Walking to Hanase's residence, you can see the small figure at the gate from a distance.Kakashi didn't want to say much at first, but couldn't help but ordered an irrelevant sentence: "Although this is Uchiha's clan, there won't be any problems, but when Shisui is at home alone, it's better to close the door and stay at home. "

"I will teach him." Hanase raised his hand and waved vigorously at Shisui who was waiting, with a genuine and infectious smile on his lips, "Kakashi, your duplicity is the cutest."

Kakashi: "..."

He turned around and left.

Zhishui rushed over, and Hanase flashed to his side in an instant, raised the packaging bag in his hand and handed it to him: "Small gift before dinner, do you want to eat dumplings?"

"eat!"

Shisui happily took it, took Hanase's hand with one hand, and walked towards home in a dignified manner.His eyes are big, his pupils are like ripe grapes, especially when he smiles.Like an obsidian slipping into the water, its ripples refract the light of the morning sun.

Hanase hooked his soft hand, and said: "I'm going to the patriarch's house later, are you waiting at home or going to visit with me?"

After Shishui thought about it seriously, he asked, "If I go to the patriarch's house, can I have a meal with Aunt Miqin?"

Hanase cheered up, bent slightly and whispered in Shisui's ear, "You are in charge of acting like a baby, and you must eat Aunt Mikoto's meal."

"Then what are you responsible for, Hanase?"

"I'm going to report something serious." Hanase curled her lips, "Since I opened Sharingan, the patriarch no longer regards me as a child who can be coquettish."

Zhishui's face changed, and he patted his chest with the hand holding the packing bag with lingering fear: "Then I must open Sharingan later."

……

Walking to the patriarch's place, there is still some time before dinner.To be honest, Hanase didn’t feel hungry after having eaten a lot before, but Uchiha Mikoto’s craftsmanship cannot be evaluated simply by "whether it is delicious" or "whether it is necessary for hunger".Hanase's parents in this world died in the war, and Shisui's situation is the same. Both of them are orphans, so Hanase took over Shisui who was left unattended.The patriarch's house is not a gathering place for charity, but it tries to be kind to the children within its capacity, especially the gentle and lovely Aunt Miqin.Hanase will definitely visit her after every mission, not only to report the growth progress to Uchiha Fugaku, who is the patriarch, but also to get in touch with that subtle sense of belonging.

As soon as they entered the door, Uchiha Mikoto, who was watering the flowers in the yard, saw them: "Hanase, you have returned from your mission. There is Shisui, and it seems to have grown taller."

"Aunt Meiqin, these are the three-color dumpling bought at the shop in the middle of the street."

Hanase handed over the things in her hand, and Shisui called "Aunt Mikoto" obediently, and walked up to let Uchiha Mikoto measure her height.

"Thank you Hanase." Uchiha Mikoto touched her cheek, and after making gestures, she found that both of them had grown taller, and said with some surprise, "Growing so fast. Do you want to stay for dinner tonight? I'll make more for you Order something delicious."

The two naturally couldn't wish for anything, and when Hanase was about to go in to report to the patriarch, Uchiha Mikoto seemed to finally be unable to hold back, and called her softly, with an unspeakable shyness on her face: "Hanase, Mikoto Auntie...is pregnant."

"what?!"

Shishui's dumpling almost fell into shock.

"Huai--"

Hanase suddenly raised her head, and then cautiously stretched out her hand to touch Aunt Mikoto's abdomen, but she didn't dare to touch it, Uchiha Mikoto pressed her hand to cover her: "Well, I'm so happy."

"I'm so happy too." Hanase couldn't help but grinned. It was rare to show such an obvious smile. She looked up at Uchiha Mikoto with sparkling eyes, "Does the baby have a name? It must be very cute!"

"I haven't picked it up yet, so you can take your time later." Uchiha Mikoto touched her head, not forgetting Shisui, "After the baby is born, there will be a sister and brother."

The concept of Zhishui is still a little ignorant, but after hearing this sentence, she was completely cheered up, but Hanase was more solemn than him, and she promised solemnly: "I will love him forever and treat him well."

Uchiha Mikoto, who noticed her words, laughed and said, "Does Hanase think it's a boy?"

Hanase also didn't think deeply about her words for a while. When asked, she hesitated and said, "I think... it will be a boy."

She quickly added: "Boys and girls, I love them all."

Uchiha Mikoto was amused by her words, and her heart softened.

Shisui followed Uchiha Mikoto to help in the kitchen.After knowing that she was pregnant, Shisui was a little nervous all over, and told her to be careful everywhere, even trying to replace it when cutting vegetables with a knife, but was stopped by Uchiha Mikoto with a smile.

Inside the study.

Hanase was reporting the recent results to Uchiha Fugaku, who is the patriarch, when the voice fell, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly shot at her, Hanase dodged nimbly, and habitually touched the place where the ninja bag was held on her thigh with one hand, pounced After a while, she realized that when she was outside, she had already removed all her weapons, for fear of hurting Aunt Mikoto who was not very effective in combat.

"Not bad." Uchiha Fugaku was very satisfied with her reaction, "I have made great progress, and I have not slacked off."

His love for Hanase's talents and expectations for the future are better than any other Uchiha's clansmen, and it is for this reason that he pays close attention to Hanase's growth trends.Hanase has no obvious feeling about this. The "effort" in the eyes of outsiders is what she is doing herself, so there is no need to force it or feel suppressed.

——However, if the patriarch has a child, the attention should be diverted a lot, right?

Hanase thought quietly, after much deliberation, she still thought it would be a boy.
