Chapter 192 Intimate Name

"Itachi, what kind of gift would you like if it were you?" After asking Orochimaru to no avail, Haruko began to harass her little nephew.

Uchiha Itachi answered without hesitation: "Sweets."

"That's something I would like..." Haruko was both touched and disappointed.

She was touched that her nephew was so thoughtful and answered which gift he liked, but she was disappointed that she still didn't know what kind of earth-shattering and extraordinary gift to give to Kakashi Hatake.

"But I like everything Haruko likes." Uchiha Itachi's words were powerful, full of dependence and sincerity on her.

Haruko was stunned for a moment, then she hugged him with great emotion, "My Itachi is so cute! Auntie is so happy that she is about to burst into tears!"

Hugging her back, Uchiha Itachi insisted on correcting her: "I am mature, not cute."

"Okay, okay, mature, my Itachi is the most mature!" Haruko coaxed him.

Uchiha Itachi: ...Forget it, as long as Haruko is happy.

Although she was touched, she still had to think about what she needed to think about. Haruko thought about the boys around her who had personalities similar to Hatake Kakashi.

Obito is the target of revenge, so he is excluded.

Asma has been so busy exploring the meaning of "jade" recently that he has become a little obsessed, so he is excluded.

Thick eyebrows…ruled out.

After a round of elimination, Haruko really couldn't think of whose answer was left to refer to.

Oh, right! Isn’t there a kid called Shisui?

Haruko had a flash of inspiration. Although his personality was a little different from Kakashi's, at least it was not as ridiculously different as the one with thick eyebrows.

"It's decided. Let's go ask Shisui!"

Hearing that she was going to look for Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi hesitated to say something, but in the end he did not stop her. He stood up, took her hand, and was determined to go with her.

Speaking of why Uchiha Itachi chose to call Haruko by her name directly, it actually has something to do with Uchiha Shisui.

The first time the two children met, Haruko built a bridge between them. Because of her little nephew's unusual personality, he stood out among the group of children who were playing house and pretending to be handsome.

The little girls in the clan all wanted to talk to him, which made the boys not very welcoming to him. Also, Uchiha Itachi himself had no intention of making friends, so Haruko had not seen her nephew bring friends home to play until now.

The first question is - "They are too childish, I don't want to play those games."

This made Haruko, the aunt, particularly worried. If she couldn't bring back a childhood sweetheart, she could at least bring back a childhood sweetheart.

In order to ensure the healthy childhood of her nephew, Haruko carefully selected and finally found Uchiha Shisui, who had similar talents and personality to her nephew in the Uchiha clan.

The key is that she still knows me, how wise of me!

So Haruko took the confused Uchiha Itachi to Uchiha Shisui's home.

When he opened the door, he found Haruko whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Uchiha Shisui couldn't hide his excitement and asked, "Haruko, are you here to see me?"

"I wonder if Shisui is free. I brought a little playmate for you!"

"Playmate?" After she said that, Uchiha Shisui noticed Uchiha Itachi who was standing next to Haruko and was equally confused.

Uchiha Itachi gently pulled Haruko's hand, looked at her and asked, "Aunt, who is he?"

"He is Uchiha Shisui, a very gentle and lively child!" Haruko pushed him in front of Uchiha Shisui, "Itachi is my nephew, it would be great if Shisui could make friends with him!"

Haruko smiled faintly, squatted down, took Uchiha Shisui's hand, and overlapped it with the other hand holding Uchiha Itachi.

Feeling the warmth in their hands, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi looked at each other at the same time.

Eyes intertwined, destiny played.

Although there was a feeling of encouraging friendship, Uchiha Itachi still liked this brother who was three years older than him. Both of them were hailed as geniuses of the Uchiha clan, and the two were particularly compatible in training.

Originally, she planned to let them become playmates, but ended up watching them practicing together. Haruko, who had never expected that practicing could be equated with playing, didn't understand but respected them.

"Itachi, Shisui, take a break! Have some apples!"

The two men who had not yet finished their training walked obediently to her side. Looking at the apple cut into the shape of a rabbit on the plate, Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth in surprise.

"Was this carved by Haruko? So cool!" Uchiha Shisui looked at Haruko with sparkling eyes.

Feeling his admiration, Haruko chuckled proudly, "It took me a long time to learn this from Mikoto!"

Speaking of this, Uchiha Itachi remembered Haruko who was extremely interested in rabbit apples at that time. She bought a big bag of them to practice, but every failed one went into his and his father's mouths.

Uchiha Fugaku accepted the strange-shaped apples that his sister brought to the duty point every day, which were full of her hard work and love, with difficulty amid the envious eyes of his subordinates, and at the same time quietly asked Uchiha Itachi what level her current skills had reached.

Later, Haruko finally mastered the skill of peeling apples, and Uchiha Fugaku finally ended the happy torture of eating several boxes of apples every day.

Uchiha Itachi was the same. From then on, he never wanted to see the apple again. Unexpectedly, he saw this apple that exuded the aura of pain again at Uchiha Shisui's house.

Seeing that Uchiha Itachi did not move, Haruko smiled and forked an apple to feed him, "Ah——"

Unable to resist her feeding, Uchiha Itachi bit it sadly and gave his praise with an ugly smile.

Uchiha Shisui saw their intimacy and said shyly: "Haruko, I can too..."

Noticing that his eyes were glued to her hands, Haruko understood what was going on. She smiled and forked an apple to feed it to his mouth, "Of course."

Watching his aunt feeding his new friend, Uchiha Itachi silently subtracted the "stealing aunt" points from his good impression of Uchiha Shisui.

On the way home, Haruko was finally alone. Uchiha Itachi looked at her profile, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Haruko caught a glimpse of his gloomy face and asked softly, "What's wrong Itachi?"

After hesitating for a while, Uchiha Itachi decided to ask directly. His aunt was sometimes thoughtful, but most of the time she was a thick-skinned person. If he didn't say it directly, it would make both of them depressed.

"Did Shisui call Haruko by her first name?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"It sounds... like it's more intimate than calling me aunt."

"Eh? Is there any?"

"Yes!" Uchiha Itachi raised his voice and looked at her stubbornly.

Haruko was a little amused, then shook the hand that was holding his, "If Itachi really cares, you can just call me by my name. I don't mind."

"Really?" Although he asked her again, Uchiha Itachi couldn't wait to shout out, "Haruko!"

"I'm here--" Haruko replied in a long voice.

As if he found it very entertaining, Uchiha Itachi called her name over and over again, and Haruko responded to him happily.

The journey home was filled with their childish conversations, the understanding gained from spending time together day and night, the inseparable knowledge of each other, and the certainty that there was a long future ahead.
