Hokage - Mirror Love

"Are you confused by this kind of thing?" Itachi threw three kunai, slammed into targets in three different directions, and then looked at Eri sitting on the tree, the emotion in his eyes was unclear, " Eri, what do you think about the village and peace?"

"Itachi, how old am I, don't make me think about such difficult questions." Eri covered her face and sighed heavily, "I just, I just think... ah, I'm really not suitable for ninjas, right? There is no basic awareness.”

"If you want to escape or give up, you can do it at any time," Itachi's tone became serious, and he asked seriously, "Have you determined what you think?"

Eri stared blankly at Itachi, and his eyes were fixed on her, the kind of eyes she had seen in her father, Nozomi Sawamura, who was on the last mission.

At that time, Wang patted her head, his face was full of tenderness, "If Dad can't come back, Eri will work hard by herself."

"Father believes that Eri will become a powerful ninja in the future."

"Even if Dad's body is gone, you have to remember," Wang poked her heart with his finger, "I will always be here to protect you, okay?"

Perhaps at that time Wang already knew that he would die this time, but he didn't hesitate at all, because he believed that what his death brought would be peace, and the stability and happiness of his daughter.

Village and peace...

Eri sighed faintly, "No, I still want to be a ninja, and a super great one at that."

"Really." A faint smile appeared on Itachi's face, "I believe in you."

Knowing her strength and still saying to trust her, it really makes people wonder how to respond.

Eri propped her chin and looked at Itachi, "Sometimes I feel that you don't look like a six-year-old at all."

"What a coincidence, me too."

Eri froze for a moment, looked at Itachi's expressionless face, then held her belly and laughed, "Itachi, it's a shame you can say it so seriously~"

Itachi threw a kunai casually, "I heard that your house was destroyed by Kyuubi?"

"Uh, how did you know..." Eri's smile suddenly became awkward, "Don't tell others, people in the class don't know yet."

"I know, where do you live now?"

"Well... I'm temporarily staying at the hotel on North Road. I'll move back when the house is repaired."

Itachi paused his hand and looked up at her, "Come to live at my house?"

"...Your house?" Eri imagined that the surroundings were full of legendary Uchiha geniuses, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "Well, let's forget it."

"You, it costs a lot to stay in a hotel."

"No, I'm helping in the store, and I'm staying for free." Eri showed a somewhat smug expression, expecting Itachi to praise her wit.

Itachi didn't respond, but sighed, "You hate Uchiha?"

"No, no, no," Eri immediately denied, showing a somewhat helpless expression, "It's just that everyone in the Uchiha is very good, I'm just the tail of a crane."

"..." Itachi was silent for a while and said in a very serious tone, "Eri, I never regarded you as the tail of a crane."

"Uh..." Eri opened her mouth, she felt that there were many words stuck in her throat and wanted to say, but she couldn't say anything, and then she lowered her head and responded in a low voice, "Itachi can say that, I'm very happy."

I was very happy in my heart, as if I was recognized.

When I returned to the hotel where I was temporarily staying, the proprietress showed an impatient expression when she saw her, "Where did you go? The store is too busy."

"Sorry sorry, I'm going out to practice..."

"Since you promised to help in the store, don't run around. Why do you think I let you live for free?"

"I only go out for this period of time, and I will help at other times..." Eri wanted to fight for the freedom of this period of time, but after seeing the proprietress' sharp eyes, her voice became lower and lower until it disappeared.

"Eri Sawamura," the proprietress read her name word by word, raised her chin and looked at her, "If you don't want to, you can move out."

"...Yes, I'm sorry, it won't happen in the future."

That's the feeling of living under the fence.

Eri sighed, she didn't know when her home would be repaired, remembering Itachi asked her to live in his house temporarily, I have to say, Eri was a little moved.

She is still too confident, thinking that she can cope with the status quo well, but forgets that life will not develop according to her ideas.

The next day after this, Eri was helping at the hotel, but she couldn't go to the small forest to see Itachi, and she couldn't talk to her at school, she silently washed the dishes in the kitchen, but Eri's thoughts were wandering, she didn't know her If he didn't go, would Itachi care?

When she finished her work, it had been dark for a long time, and Eri returned to her room, but she was a little restless. She always felt uneasy, and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

As a result, after rolling on the bed for more than half an hour, she still got up, put on her clothes again and opened the window, the bitter cold wind poured into the room, and the temperature at night was still a bit low, Eri wrapped a coat and looked at the room. The dark street downstairs, and then jumped out of the window.

There are still a few lights on the street, it doesn't look so dark, but it is completely dark in the forest, only the dim moonlight shines on the road, and the road she often walks can be vaguely recognized.

Walking alone in the dark and silent forest, the sound of footsteps sounds very clear. From time to time, the sound of animals can be heard in the distance, and the sound is long in the forest.

"What am I doing, there must be no one at this time, ah, I'm just like an idiot."

Complaining, Eri didn't stop, until she saw the familiar open space, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked a few steps forward, and stood where Itachi usually stood.

There are new marks on the target not far away, it seems that he also came to practice today.

Not knowing what she was doing on the spur of the moment, she stood blankly in the open space for a while, Eri lowered her eyelids and said to herself, "Habits are terrible."

"Well, that's what I thought too."

The sudden and familiar voice behind her made Eri froze, and then she turned her head in disbelief. The black-haired boy in black clothes was standing not far behind her, his figure was a bit unrecognizable, almost blending into the thick night.

"...Itachi?" Eri confirmed again, "It's Itachi, right?"

"You don't know me so soon?" Itachi took two steps forward, the shadow faded away from him, and the faint moonlight illuminated his face, and she could clearly see the corner of Itachi's slightly raised mouth.

"You, why are you here? It's been such a long time..." Eri said, and then felt her heart beating a little hurriedly.

"Then why are you here at this time?" Itachi asked back.

"Uh, I..." Eri's expression became embarrassed, "Of course I'm out for a walk, a walk."

"Let's take a walk." Itachi took a few steps forward and stood in front of her, looking at her with dark eyes, "Did something happen today?"

Eri subconsciously looked away, stretched out a hand and gestured uncomfortably, "Ah, yes, yes, that, I forgot to tell you during the day," she showed an apologetic expression, "During this time, I may I can't come anymore, when my house is repaired, I will continue to bother Itachi."

"..." Itachi frowned slightly, "Is it difficult for you where you live?"

"It can't be said that it's difficult, after all, they are living for me for free, so I should do something for them." Eri laughed, "Itachi is still here now, so it can't be that he has been waiting for me. Bar."

"Well, I've been waiting for you."

Eri's laughter stopped abruptly, and she stared blankly at Itachi's face, his tone was serious and his expression was serious, no matter how he looked at it, he was not joking.

"This, that's it." Eri said a little dryly, and then felt her nose a little sore, and even her eye sockets became warm.

After her father was gone, she seldom felt this kind of concern. The eyes of people around her were either indifferent or contemptuous. Itachi was clearly a six-year-old child, but he clearly caught her weakness.

"You look like you're about to cry." Itachi reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, then placed it on top of her head, and stroked her head.

"What, this way of comforting..."

A little too foul.

"Ah, don't you like it?" Itachi withdrew his hand and looked at Eri with red eyes in embarrassment. Even if he was mature, he didn't know how to comfort a crying girl in this situation. Sasuke was crying It's good to touch your head when you're there.

Eri shook her head vigorously, showing a big smile, "No, I like it very much!"

Itachi looked at Eri's shining eyes, no, they weren't shining, but her eyes were still full of tears, shining in the moonlight.

"Since you like it, don't cry." Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her head to comfort her, but Eri rushed towards him one step ahead of him, hugged him tightly around his neck, The big itachi took a few steps back unsteadily, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Itachi, I like it very much!"

Eri's crisp voice seemed a bit loud in the silent forest. Itachi knew she didn't mean it that way, but his heartbeat still inevitably missed a beat. He could feel the girl's hair and warm breath on his neck, and his arms were soft. The body has a sweet smell, which is different from the milky smell on Sasuke's body, and it is another smell he likes.

So he can always detect her existence at the first time.

"This is really... an unexpected explosive scene, Itachi."

A familiar voice with a smile came from the tree, Itachi froze for a moment, let go of the girl in his arms, and looked at Shisui crouching on the tree speechlessly.

"I didn't mean to peep," Shisui quickly explained when he noticed Itachi's eyes, "Because Itachi didn't come back very late, your parents just asked me to come to you, but seeing this scene is really profitable Ah ha ha ha, speaking of which, isn't this Eri?"

"Uh...you, hello, brother Zhishui."

Eri, who had hugged her impulsively just now, wanted to find a hole to bury herself in, not only being seen, but also being seen by someone she knew, she was so ashamed that she was about to cry. ?
