Chapter 151 I am a flower fairy

Indeed, he did not expect that the Third Hokage would mention his sister. Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly.

Could it be that Haruko had deceived someone again? Or had she kidnapped a child?

The only person who seems to be related to the Third Hokage is his child, Asuma Sarutobi...

No way, Haruko offended the Hokage's son? !

The more Uchiha Fugaku thought about it, the gloomier his expression became, and a chill emanated from his whole body, so much so that the Uchiha clan members who were sitting next to him felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Why did the clan leader suddenly look so grim? Was he going to take action?

The subordinates beside Sarutobi Hiruzen also tensed up, ready to be on alert at any time.

When Uchiha Fugaku came to his senses and found that the situation was filled with tension and oppression, he was confused for a moment.

Why do they suddenly look like they're about to start a fight?

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly, pretending not to notice the atmosphere around him. His expression eased a little, and he continued, "That child shouldn't be adopted by you, right? Tell me about her."

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fugaku was certain that Haruko had indeed caused some big trouble, but seeing that the Third Hokage's tone remained unchanged, it remained to be seen what mistake Haruko had made.

Although he thought about it over and over again, Uchiha Fugaku looked serious and continued to answer: "Yes, Haruko is a child I met in the Uchiha territory a few years ago. After all, it was a time of war, and it was not uncommon to see stray children..."

Uchiha Fugaku recalled his encounter with Haruko when he was still patrolling the streets.

"Captain, a child was found in the alley ahead!" His subordinates hurriedly ran towards him to report.

"child?"

"Yes, he looks like a wandering child."

Uchiha Fugaku frowned. Although the war was coming to an end and Konoha was not at peace, with broken families and deaths common, it was too unbelievable that a stray child would appear in the Uchiha territory.

Leaving behind the words "Let's go and take a look", Uchiha Fugaku followed his subordinates to the alley.

Walking into the damp and dark alley, they saw a child in thin clothes curled up there. When they heard them approaching, the child did not tremble. Instead, she raised her dark eyes curiously and observed them.

"team leader……"

The subordinate looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and after receiving his affirmative nod, he took a few steps forward and squatted in front of the homeless child.

"Kid, what's your name?" The subordinate subconsciously lowered his voice when addressing the child.

The dry and hoarse voice of the homeless boy came, "Haruko... My name is Morning Haruko."

"Morning?" The subordinate was surprised, "Not from the Uchiha clan."

Seeing her nod, the subordinate continued to ask: "How did you get into the Uchiha territory? Where are your parents?"

Haruko shook her head, "I have no relatives."

It was estimated that she fled to Uchiha territory because of the war. The subordinates took out a handkerchief and wiped her dirty cheek in a slightly unfamiliar manner. After a few wipes, her original pretty and spirited face was revealed.

Stunned by her, the subordinates teased her: "Kid, you are so pretty, are you a boy or a girl?"

But she lowered her head, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him, which made her subordinates laugh. "You still have a temper."

Uchiha Fugaku stood there and observed her reaction. She was not afraid, nor trembling. She did not look like someone who had escaped from the war. She might have been an abandoned child.

How to arrange her is a problem, after all, she is not a member of the Uchiha clan.

The subordinates over there thought she was funny and were still teasing her, "How about calling me brother and I take you out for dinner?"

Haruko looked up at him, but then turned her bright eyes to Uchiha Fugaku. Seeing their surprised expressions, Haruko stood up, walked closer to Uchiha Fugaku and tentatively grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Uchiha Fugaku pursed his lips subconsciously, and his expression naturally became ferocious. Just when his subordinates thought that another child was about to cry, Haruko looked at him expectantly and said, "Can I go home with you?"

Uchiha Fugaku and his subordinates looked at each other. The subordinates were shocked that there was a child who was not afraid of the captain, while Uchiha Fugaku was at a loss because he had never coaxed a child before.

As expected of the captain of the Konoha Police Department, Uchiha Fugaku calmed down instantly and asked her, "Why? You are not a member of the Uchiha clan."

The implication was that no matter what, she would not be adopted by the Uchiha. Haruko probably understood what he said. Tears welled up in her eyes and she began to cry weakly under the frightened look of Uchiha Fugaku.

While crying, she said: "But...but I like you...I want you to be my family..."

Perhaps because he was soft-hearted, or perhaps because he was infected by the child's pure love for the first time, Uchiha Fugaku took her home.

"But if you want to become part of my family, you must change your last name to Uchiha."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the girl who looked refreshed and sitting obediently at the table. After careful consideration, he decided to tell her.

Haruko was a little resistant, "But my name is Morning Haruko..."

"Uchiha is a responsibility and also a protection." Uchiha Fugaku did not treat her perfunctorily just because she was young, and responsibly informed her of his requirement to be adopted.

"If you want to join the Uchiha, you must forget your previous last name, but you can keep 'Haruko'."

Seeing the seriousness and determination in his eyes, Haruko hesitated for a long time, but finally the thought of "getting my family back" prevailed and she slowly nodded.

She will be Uchiha Haruko from now on...

Her origins are still unclear, and adopting her out of pity might bring some trouble, but she has already arrived at his home, and all Uchiha Fugaku can do is to completely protect her under his wings.

Uchiha Fugaku himself had never had experience in taking care of a child. Especially after he discovered that the girl was born weak and prone to illness, he became even more concerned about taking care of her and even went to ask for advice from clan members who had children.

At first I was surprised that she was not afraid of me, but later I was annoyed that she was not afraid of me at all.

Originally, seeing that she was bored staying at home alone, Uchiha Fugaku found many children's books for her to pass the time, but she learned some strange words from them.

"I am a flower fairy. My territory was invaded by the enemy and my people fled everywhere, so I ended up here!"

Hearing her mumbling in the room, Uchiha Fugaku had no choice but to walk into the room and bring her hot milk.

"What are you acting in?"

Seeing him come in, Haruko was excited and grabbed his arm as he approached, "Fugaku, don't you think this experience is very similar to mine?"

"What's similar?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at the book she handed over in confusion.

"I was also abandoned. The flower fairy was also abandoned by her tribe because she was unwelcome. Then I can be a beautiful flower fairy!"

Her innocent and naive answer rang in Uchiha Fugaku's ears. When he saw the joy and expectation in her eyes, Uchiha Fugaku didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Finally, he raised his large palm and stroked her head, and Uchiha Fugaku said in a soft voice: "Haruko is different. Haruko is a flower fairy loved by the world."

"No one... no one will not love you."
