Chapter 208 A different childhood

"Brother Xuan, why are you here?"

Itachi ran to Uchiha Gen and stood in front of him, raised his head and smiled.

"Go to Sister Kushina's house for dinner tonight. Your mother and brother are there now. I'll come to pick you up."

"That's it, what should father do?"

"I think Sister Mikoto should take the time to go home and cook for the clan leader, right?"

"Well, that's what my mother would do."

"Hey, hello." Uchiha Gen smiled and greeted the little girls who came out with Itachi.

Wow, this big brother is so handsome.

Uchiha Gen's appearance is inherently handsome, coupled with the calm, mature, and calm temperament that he has developed through many hardships, he is really very lethal to little girls.

"Hello...hello."

The little girls' faces were slightly red, and they bowed and said hello in a flurry of words, almost as shy as Hinata, and then... ran away.

"Haha..." Uchiha Gen smiled softly, finding it quite interesting.

"Itachi, you are quite popular with girls." Uchiha Gen lowered his head and said with a smile.

Itachi blushed, shook his head and said, "Girls are really not interesting, they will only affect the speed and accuracy of my shurikens."

Gen Uchiha: "..."

This sentence sounds so familiar.

"You are still young. When you grow up, you will know the wonderful things about girls."

"Let's go."

"Um."

"Shisui, haven't you been in the village recently?"

"Brother Zhisui has gone on a mission and has been there for three days."

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly. It seemed that Shisui and Kakashi were not in the village now, otherwise they would have replied to him with crows and dogs.

Yes, the two of them are in trouble.

I have never tasted Kushina's cooking skills before, so I don't know much about it, but Mikoto's cooking skills are very good.

"How was your stay at ninja school?"

"Fortunately, I just feel like it's not difficult to learn."

"I guess I won't learn anything useful in the ninja school next year."

Uchiha Gen calculated with his fingers that next year seemed to be the year when Uchiha Itachi graduated early in the original work.

“What are you going to do if you don’t learn anything new?”

"Apply for early graduation and learn from practice."

"Graduating early is not necessarily a good thing. You will only be seven years old next year. In fact, you should enjoy campus life more."

"Once you graduate, it will be difficult to go back. What awaits you will be endless tasks and countless dangers."

"You have to think about it carefully."

There is no pressure in life for Itachi, the eldest son of a wealthy family.

Hearing this, Itachi had a look of hesitation on his face, but soon he said firmly: "I want to help my father as soon as possible and help the family. I also want to fight side by side with Brother Xuan and Brother Zhisui."

"Well, now that you have decided, I won't persuade you any more."

"But you're still too far away from wanting to fight alongside me and Shisui. You have to work harder."

"I know, I will try my best!"

Brother Zhisui and Brother Gen are more famous than the other in the ninja world, and he is too far behind now.

Bang, a cloud of white smoke rose up, Gen Uchiha took out a scroll with red stripes on a black background and handed it over.

"Brother Xuan, what is this?"

"You'll know when you open it and take a look."

"Um."

Itachi took the scroll and opened it, and what he saw were three big characters, Explosive Flame Bomb, followed by the technique, chakra movement chart, and precautions listed one by one.

"What an exquisite ninjutsu." Uchiha Itachi said with his eyes shining.

"This is my own Fire Release Ninjutsu. If you have high understanding, you can learn the full version with B-level difficulty. If you have low understanding, you can learn the simplified version with C-level difficulty."

"Where did you learn the Fire Release Ninjutsu?"

"Learned the technique of big fireball and the technique of huge fireball."

The former is a D-level ninjutsu, and the latter is a C-level ninjutsu.

In the original work, Fugaku was disappointed with Sasuke's qualifications because Itachi of the same age learned the Great Fireball Technique once, but Sasuke never learned the Great Fireball Technique, and only spit out small flames the first time.

"Then you have to learn the simplified version first. This ninjutsu is somewhat dangerous. You might get your throat burned. It's best to practice it with the company of an adult."

"OK."

"But why did brother Xuan give me ninjutsu?"

"This is a graduation gift for you, in case I forget it due to something else in the future."

Itachi was shocked and asked in surprise: "Brother Xuan believes so much that I can graduate early?"

"Of course, you are very good. Neither Shisui nor I can compare to you at the same age."

Itachi was moved in his heart, raised his head and said firmly: "I will definitely not let down Brother Xuan's expectations."

"It's a pity that even if I graduate early next year, I still won't be as good as Kakashi-senpai."

"I heard that Kakashi-senpai graduated at the age of five and became a chuunin at the age of six. This record is unprecedented, and I'm afraid no one can break it in the future."

Uchiha Gen smiled and said: "That's different. Kakashi graduated during the most brutal period of the Third Ninja War. Konoha was extremely short of soldiers and had to drag all the children onto the battlefield."

"The graduation age of ninjas will only get older in peacetime. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing."

"You don't need to compare with him. He is a special case. You are no worse than Kakashi."

"I see."

"Brother Xuan, why are you going to Aunt Kushina's house for dinner today?"

"To celebrate, Kushina-san has found her missing clan member."

"You know the Uzumaki clan, right?"

"I heard from my father and mother that they were a very powerful family."

"..."

The two chatted and soon arrived at Kushina's house.

After ringing the doorbell, the door opened quickly. It was Uzumaki Anna who opened it. After some greetings, the two entered the house.

Itachi greeted Sasuke politely and ran to Sasuke who was playing.

Seeing his brother coming back, Sasuke immediately left his two little playmates, Naruto and Karin, and stretched out his hands to hug him.

In the kitchen, Kushina and Mikoto were busy together, and Anna was responsible for taking care of the three children in the living room. The food was fragrant, the laughter was cheerful, and they were having fun.

"Gen, where are Shisui and Kakashi?"

Kushina, wearing a pine green apron and holding a spatula in her hand, poked her head out of the kitchen and said.

"No one was found. He shouldn't be in the village."

"It's a pity that they won't be able to enjoy the meal tonight. The meal tonight is very sumptuous."

"Do you need my help?"

"I know you are good at cooking, but you are a guest today, so you should have a good rest."

"Fine."

Gen Uchiha was not polite and ran to get a few sugar oranges and a handful of melon seeds. He found a chair and sat down, crossing his legs and watching Naruto and Xiang Lian play house.

It's a pity that Kushina doesn't have a sofa. Except for the dining table, the other layouts are relatively traditional.

There was no television at this time, and television had not yet been invented.

Sasuke liked to stick to Itachi, and Itachi liked to be next to Uchiha Gen. Soon Itachi came over with Erzhu in his arms.

Maybe it was because Sasuke was missing and he couldn't play house very well, so Naruto and Karin came running over soon after.

Kaoru is very close to Gen Uchiha and opens his arms for a hug.

Uchiha Gen put it on his lap, touched the big pillar's head, and pinched the second pillar's face. It was quite interesting to tease him around, and it was not boring at all.

Ten minutes later, all the dishes were ready. Xing Nai helped arrange them, and soon the table was filled with dishes.

The drinks are served, cups, spoons, bowls and chopsticks are placed. Everyone takes their seats and raises their glasses together, and the banquet officially begins.

Kushina particularly liked such lively scenes, her smile never broke during the whole process...
