[Hokage] Flower Time

Huashi and his brother made an appointment to watch Itachi's individual competition together.

But when the appointed day came, Zhishui missed the appointment again.

Although I am very sorry for the lovely little sister who is full of expectations, Shishui can only tell her helplessly: "I am really sorry, Your Excellency Sandai...is really busy."

"Is there something that can't pass the Chunin exam?" Huashi sat in the entrance wearing ninja boots, she lowered her head, not looking at Shisui, but muttered in private: "Your Excellency, the third generation is really getting more and more annoying." , always let my brother run around."

Zhishui raised his head while wearing the forehead protector.He saw a black figure flash past outside the window, and knew that his companion couldn't wait any longer, so he came to urge him.

"Sorry, it took time, I will make up for it next time." He said apologetically, and then jumped out of the window.

Huashi fastened the laces of the ninja boots, and stepped on the ground twice.Immediately, she turned her head to look for her brother's figure and say goodbye, but in the end, she found that there was nothing behind her.

"Really." Huashi shook his head: "I'm really busy, brother."

Without Shishui by his side, Huashi felt unmotivated.Even if it was Itachi's individual competition, she lacked interest, lying on the railing of the stands, watching Itachi's movements one by one.The people sitting around were very excited and ready to cheer for the contestants, only she looked out of control.

Itachi in the field ended the game with a beautiful blow and won applause from the audience.They applauded Itachi's superb Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. Amidst the cheers, there were occasional whispers.Hua Shi's hearing is very sensitive, and she keenly captured these discordant words.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, even a child is so good."

"...That family has always been like this. They are proud of their excellence, so they are very exclusive and closed."

"Isn't that what the Guards are entitled to? One child can make them proud for a long time."

These words full of deep meaning and with a low smile fell into her ears, making her frown involuntarily.

Sasuke, who was sitting next to Huashi, grabbed Huashi's clothes excitedly, and said, "Hey, look at Huashi, brother won."

"Ah, I won!" Hua Shi applauded along with the people around him.

The referee in the field waved his hand and announced the result of this match: "The winner, Konoha Uchiha Itachi."

"Unfortunately, my brother didn't come." Hua Shi sighed.

"Unfortunately, Dad didn't come." Sasuke imitated her and sighed.

Mikoto touched the top of Sasuke's head with a smile, and said softly, "Dad is the captain of the guard, so of course he is very busy."

Sasuke pouted.

After the game, Itachi walked up the stairs beside the stands to the second floor. Two of his teammates stood waiting for him at the end of the stairs and gave him an encouraging high-five when he stepped on the last step.

"Not bad, Itachi."

"Itachi has always been so powerful."

The young Uchiha Itachi thanked him politely, and walked towards his relatives.Before reaching Mikoto's side, Sasuke, who couldn't sit still, jumped off his seat and rushed to his side, shouting while running, "Brother is so amazing!"

Seeing Sasuke jumping and rushing towards him, Uchiha Itachi stretched out his two fingers, accurately aimed at Sasuke's forehead, and poked lightly.Sasuke couldn't help but took two steps back, puffed up his mouth, and hummed softly for a while.

"Don't bully Sasuke." Miqin waved to the two brothers, and said, "The flower hour is here."

Huashi, who was sitting upright, greeted him: "Congratulations on the promotion, Itachi-kun."

Itachi withdrew his finger, nodded, smiled slightly, and asked, "Isn't Shisui-kun here?"

"...he has other things to do." Hua Shi said, "I can't watch your game."

"Shisui is also a very good ninja, always so busy." Mikoto seemed to be explaining for Shisui, and said, "Sasuke, when you watch Hana, you never complain that brother is too busy to accompany her. Sasuke also To grow up early."

"It's enough to have my brother to accompany me." Sasuke climbed into his seat and said, "It's okay if Dad is too busy."

Itachi walked past Mikoto and Sasuke, and sat beside Hanatoki.Sasuke, who was sitting on the other side of Hanahiro, poked his head forward, and shouted to Itachi through Hanahiro: "I want to sit with my brother."

Huashi hugged her hands and said, "I won't change places with Itachi, you hit me."

Sasuke frowned, and said with humiliation: "Sister Huashi."

Satoshi was very satisfied, got up and changed places with Itachi, so that Sasuke could hold Itachi's hand contentedly and continue to watch the next game.After Sitting next to Huashi, Itachi has been quiet and never said a word.There was no dust on his cuffs and white trousers, as if he hadn't experienced the battle just now.

For some reason, the disappointment that my brother didn't come with Huashi seems to have been slightly diluted.

The little fatty Qiu Taoist sitting behind him has been eating, making the sound of chewing constantly.Diagonally above, two middle-aged women were secretly discussing how handsome Itachi would be when he grew up, and Yuu, who was sitting in the last row, was trying to escape his father's sight on tiptoe.The referee in the middle of the field is reading the names of the next round.

Various voices entered her ears, intertwined with each other, and her thoughts gradually began to drift.

My brother's birthday is coming, what gift should I give this year?

Every time Sasuke celebrates his birthday, she gives a little dinosaur.When Sasuke was young, he would be very happy to receive her gift, but now that he has grown up, he disdains little dinosaurs more and more.

Itachi-kun is also very easy to deal with... just treat him to three-color dumplings.

But what does brother like?

The year before, she gave a scarf that she wove by herself. She studied with her aunt for a long time before she managed to weave such an ugly, crooked scarf.My brother kept the scarf carefully and never wore it.

She gave her a fan last year. Although it was not suitable for the cool weather in autumn, my brother happily accepted it.

This year... my brother likes Itachi-kun so much, why not pack Itachi and give it to him, and save the two of them from sneaking around in the woods to practice shuriken without telling her.

Thinking of this, she secretly looked at Itachi sitting beside her.His face was very calm, not like a child at all.The nasolabial folds on the face have unconsciously become obvious, and can be seen with just a glance.The shape of the eyes is nice, and the lower eyelashes are black and long.

Itachi noticed her secretly sizing up, turned his head slightly, and asked, "What's wrong? It took time."

"Itachi's nasolabial folds are getting more and more obvious." Hua Shi frowned and said, "Don't think too much, kid."

Itachi was a little helpless about her question, he lowered his head, looked at his hand on his lap, and said, "This... I can't control the nasolabial folds either."

The players who won the individual competition can basically be confirmed to be promoted to Chunin, and the official list will be announced by Hokage in a few days later.Looking at Itachi, who will soon become a Chunin, Huashi didn't know whether to applaud him, or secretly angry.

Mikoto walked in the front, and Sasuke clung to Itachi, clamoring loudly that he wanted to learn the shuriken technique Itachi used in the competition.Huashi was at the end and followed them slowly.

Because of Itachi's existence, Yamanaka Yuma, who had been secretly following behind, could only be dragged away silently by his father with tears in his eyes.

——Why does Hanatoki always appear with Itachi after leaving school?This is simply too unscientific.

Itachi held Sasuke with one hand while looking back at Hanatoki.When he turned his head for the third time, Hua Shi couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Mr. Weasel always looks back at me. Is there something on my face?"

After saying this, she suddenly covered her cheeks with both hands, and said, "Could it be, do I have nasolabial folds too?"

Itachi couldn't help laughing.His eyes were slightly bent, and the corners of his lips swept upwards, revealing a smile very similar to Mikoto's.He said to Hua Shi in comforting words: "No, it's just that Hua Shi's classmate seems to have grown up a lot, and I didn't notice it until I looked carefully."

"Ah, of course." Hua Shi put down his hand covering his cheek, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You're not the only one growing up."

"Everyone is growing up." Itachi said, holding Sasuke's hand tightly.

For Zhishui's birthday this year, Huashi knitted another scarf for him.

Her technique is much better than before, and she can also weave a pattern on the scarf.

The anniversary of the death of His Excellency Four has passed, Shisui’s 15th birthday has passed, and the autumn brings the golden color of Kazuki and Kazuki, gradually cooling all the hot air.The sky was high and empty, and the abundant summer rains were gone.The trees in the courtyard of Huashi Family also lost their dark green leaves. The exposed trees were bare, and the black crows had no place to hide.

Uchiha Itachi became a Chunin, and his excellent performance in the Chunin Exam once again attracted the attention of the villagers. Even the third generation could not help but praise this child who is calm and wise far beyond his peers, and intends to recruit him Join the dark part.Of course, all of these are just rumors circulating in the Uchiha clan in private. Since Itachi is the eldest son of the patriarch Fuyue, everyone dare not discuss these things blatantly.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village center has always been bad, and it has no relationship with the center of power.If the children of the Uchiha clan can enter Anbu, which is directly under Hokage, this may be good news.

Huashi doesn't care much about Anbu, family, or village. Her world is basically built around her brother.For the rest of the day, in addition to performing various C-level tasks with Teacher Guolinan, she will also learn some other ninjutsu from her brother.

For example, the psychic crow that my brother is best at, such as the illusion mastered by my brother.

After the new year, the warm spring comes.As the winter snow gradually melts, the flowers on the hillside that are not afraid of the cold spring also bloom quietly, revealing their green and tender petals.

While counting her birthday on her fingers, Huashi opened her mailbox at home.

——Well, the "Mission Correspondence" letters written by Nara Kaho, the advertisements for the new product launch of the Sanshidanzi shop, and the collection of new works by the Fauvist poet Hoshino Tei, a mailbox full of letters, almost pouring out like waves.

"How long has it been since my brother sorted out the mailbox?"

Seeing the letters that fell to the ground gushing out directly after the door of the mailbox opened, Hua Shi was a little helpless.She knelt down and picked up these letters one by one, picked out all the love letters to Zhishui and folded them up, waiting for a while to burn them all.

Her birthday is coming soon, what gift will my brother give her this year?

Every year on her birthday, she will receive a lot of presents. The boys will send all kinds of gadgets. Sasuke will give back a small dinosaur, and Itachi will also give her some things that she brought back when she went out to perform tasks. Gift.But among so many gifts, what she was looking forward to the most was her brother's gift.

Whether it was the music box, the brand-new gloves, or the array of scary little dinosaurs, she kept them all.Especially the row of little dinosaurs, which were ruthlessly stuffed at the bottom of the closet, a corner that no one else could see.
