Chapter 351 Itachi, be my son

in the room.

"Brother, it's been a long time since I slept with you like this."

Sasuke lay on the futon and rolled around.

Itachi was thinking about what Aokiji and his father were talking about in the room, so he didn't respond immediately and ignored his younger brother.

Sasuke puffed up his cheeks and looked unhappy: "Brother..."

Itachi came to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"I said I haven't slept with my brother for a long time." Sasuke was dissatisfied and repeated what he had just said.

"Yes."

Itachi lowered his head and closed his eyes, making a sigh of relief.

When he went there, he would often sleep with his brother, but everything changed when he officially became a ninja.

"Brother, you were thinking about Uncle Qingzhi just now..."

Sasuke looked at Itachi's side face and whispered.

Itachi looked slightly surprised.

After successfully guessing it, Sasuke smiled proudly: "I knew it."

Itachi followed his brother's thoughts: "I heard that Uncle Aokiji is a very powerful ninja. I think my father will be able to relax a lot now that he is back."

Sasuke said excitedly: "Hey, brother, what ninjutsu do you think Uncle Aokiji will teach me then?"

Itachi was quite interested in how Aokiji taught his younger brother: "I don't know about this. You may have to confirm it yourself."

"I'm really looking forward to the day when I can practice." Sasuke hugged the pillow and looked forward to it.

"yes……"

Itachi felt as if he was in a dream now that he and his brother could still be like they used to be.

"Dong dong..."

Outside the room, there was a low knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between the two brothers.

"Who?" Sasuke asked.

"it's me……"

A deep voice came from outside the door.

Itachi was startled, it was his father's voice.

Sasuke hurriedly ran to open the door, and soon a stern-faced middle-aged man stood outside the door. He looked at Itachi in the room.

Itachi noticed the gaze he was looking at and was slightly startled: "Father, do you have anything to do with me?"

Fugaku hummed and said straight to the point: "Tomorrow you will accompany your Uncle Qingzhi to get to know the village. He has just come back and is not very familiar with some things."

There was a trace of surprise in Itachi's eyes, and he declined politely: "Father, I still have a mission tomorrow."

"You can do your kind of mission anytime."

"But……"

"I will explain it to Hokage-sama."

Regardless of his son's attitude, Fugaku directly set the tone for this matter.

He has now started to doubt whether his son's butt is straight.

We can't continue to let him stay with the high-level officials of Konoha, otherwise he will be in trouble if he is actually incited to rebel.

"Understood……"

On the surface, Itachi surrendered to his father's tough attitude, but in fact, Itachi just took advantage of the situation and planned to take this opportunity to observe it carefully.

Qingzhi's sudden return will inevitably lead to questions from the village's higher-ups, and they may have to ask for Qingzhi's information through his mouth.

……

……

The next day.

Aoki had breakfast with the family of four, and then went out accompanied by Itachi.

"Brother, goodbye Uncle Qingzhi..."

After waving and watching Sasuke go to school alone, Aokiji turned to look at Itachi and said carelessly: "I'm sorry~~ I asked you to take the time to accompany me to walk around the village. I clearly told Fugaku not to go to such trouble."

"Don't mind... I also want to take this opportunity to learn more about what kind of person Uncle Qingzhi is."

Itachi spoke calmly and looked at Aokiji.

If he hadn't seen the aura released by Aokiji seriously, it would be difficult for him to connect the seemingly cheerful white-haired boy in front of him with the person who released all the scornful aura.

"You'll figure it out over time."

The corners of Qing Pheasant's mouth raised a meaningful arc.

"Uncle Qingzhi, where do you want to go next?"

"Come with me to visit the clan first."

After that, Itachi walked around the clan with Aokiji.

Because of what happened last night, Aoki Pheasant's reputation has completely spread.

In just one night, everyone knew that the man who only lived in legends was back. As long as there was no urgent matter at hand, they came to visit Qing Pheasant and cast curious eyes.

Aokiji has white hair and stands out among the black-haired Uchiha clan. It is not difficult to find him.

"Senior Qing Pheasant..."

The Uchiha members all greeted him Aokiji.

After waving goodbye to a clan member, Qingzhi said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I am still quite popular in the clan."

After walking around in the clan, Itachi continued: "Next, shall we go to the center of the village?"

Qingzhi thought this proposal was a good one: "Okay, let's go."

Just as he was about to leave, a girl's voice came from behind, revealing joy, but it was not that he was looking for Qing Pheasant, but someone else.

"Itachi..."

"Izumi..." Itachi glanced at the pretty girl who called his name and had tear marks on the corners of her eyes.

"Your girlfriend?" Qingzhi also noticed this girl, raised his eyebrows, and said in a playful tone: "At your current age, puppy love is not allowed. Be careful I snitch on Fugaku."

When someone said these words in front of the person she loved, Izumi still felt embarrassed even though it was mostly in a teasing tone.

Itachi's eyes were calm: "We are friends..."

Izumi's clear eyes showed a disappointed look.

Aokiji patted Itachi on the shoulder like he was familiar with it: "You're kidding, I won't tell Fugaku. After all, uncle, I already have a girlfriend in your grade..."

Itachi:......

Izumi's eyes moved away from her crush and landed on the white-haired boy.

Because of what happened last night, Izumi also knew about Aokiji's return. He asked in an uncertain tone: "Aokiji...senior?"

Qingzhi hummed and teased: "Itachi's girlfriend?"

"Um, ah, no."

Izumi blushed.

Qing Pheasant chuckled twice.

After actually meeting and talking to him, Izumi found that this senior was unexpectedly easy to talk to. She thought he would be the taciturn type like Itachi.

And why does it look so small?

Quanmei was full of doubts about this.

She was a measured girl, so she didn't ask much about this kind of thing.

Because she had other things in hand, after saying hello to Itachi and Aoki and introducing herself, she left quickly.

Looking at Quanmei's leaving figure, Aoki pheasant was thoughtful.

He was quite impressed with this girl.

He turned to Itachi and teased: "She is a good girl, don't let her down."

"She and I really don't have that kind of relationship..."

"Then you don't like her?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Itachi was surprised to find that he hesitated.

If this had happened before, he would have given a negative reply without hesitation.

Even though Izumi supported him without hesitation, he saw it all.

Unknowingly, this girl has left an indelible impression on his heart...

After a long time, Itachi lowered his eyes and eyelashes and replied: "I am not very interested in this kind of thing right now."

"Lie...you were hesitant just now."

"...Uncle Qingzhi, why are you so concerned about my personal feelings?"

"Probably because I have experienced the pain of loss, so I hope that my descendants can be happy in this regard."

Qing Pheasant's voice became inexplicably sad.

"..."

"Just like parents always hope that their children can make up for their childhood regrets, right?"

"..."

"That person is gone, and my heart is dead... I think I won't be interested in other women in the future."

It's because of Tsunade...

Itachi could see the sadness from the tears in Aoki's eyes. This was different from the hypocrisy before. This time he showed his true feelings: "Uncle Aoki..."

"Itachi, can you fulfill uncle's wish?"

"Well, you tell me. I will definitely try my best."

"Be my son."

The blue pheasant stretched out its right hand like a white beard.

"???"

"I'm no longer interested in other women, so I will probably have no children in the future, so I thought... eh, wait for me, don't leave..."

……

……

Even though he tried every means to persuade him to stay, Itachi left regardless of his efforts to stay...

Qingzhi put his hands on his hips, shook his head, and laughed at himself a few times: "Now, this is the only way I can relieve the pain in my heart."

He looked to the horizon and secretly swore: Tsunade, I will definitely resurrect you.
