"Brother Shisui, you don't have class today?" The red-haired Itachi opened his big eyes wide, looking at the black short-haired child with a cute expression, and said expectantly, "Can you teach me some ninjutsu for a while?"
"It's Itachi!" Shisui looked at the red-haired child, who was about four or five years old, smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, later, I also need to go learn Uchiha throwing techniques. You can come along."
"Mm." Hearing Shisui agree, Itachi said happily, "Great, Brother Shisui is so amazing. Mom told me to learn with you."
"Aunt Mikoto..." Shisui rubbed Itachi's head, smiled and said, "Itachi will definitely be more powerful than me in the future."
After all, he is the child of Uncle Jun, the number one person in the ninja world...
Looking at that head of hair different from the Uchiha's, although he himself had awakened his Sharingan, Itachi awakened his even earlier...
Two years earlier!
"Dad went somewhere, I don't know where." Itachi helplessly spread his hands and said, "Mom has to go to class again, so Itachi can only stay with Grandpa and Grandma. But Grandpa and Grandma, they don't know Uchiha-style ninjutsu or taijutsu."
As for sealing techniques...
He is still a bit too young now. Learning too early could harm his body, so Grandpa and Grandma won't let him learn yet.
"Uncle Jun is the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools!" Shisui rubbed Itachi's red hair, laughed and said, "He definitely has a lot of things to do."
"Itachi, don't complain."
"Later, I'll ask Brother Obito to come over. Although Brother Obito is always forgetful, his taijutsu and ninjutsu are also very good."
Especially now that he's awakened the two tomoe Sharingan, his strength is even greater now!
"I'm not complaining!" Itachi shook his head, wearing a childish smile, and said, "I also know Dad is very busy. After I grow up, I will definitely go help."
And Dad comes back every night to be with him...
Sometimes on holidays, he also teaches him ninjutsu. It's just that Dad's ninjutsu knowledge is explained too complicatedly, he simply can't understand it!
He just doesn't know why Mom always laughs at Dad for having such poor basics, how did he even learn ninjutsu?
It's really puzzling!
"Let's go!" Shisui held Itachi's small hand and said, "Let's go wait at the back mountain first. That area is where Grandpa Madara taught Brother Obito and Uncle Shijou back then."
"Many geniuses became stronger there!"
"Mm, Itachi has heard." Itachi wore a childish smile on his face and said, "Mom always mentions Grandpa Madara, saying that although Grandpa Madara always has a stern face and loves to scold and hit people, but..."
"Grandpa Madara actually really likes children!"
"Yes!" Shisui's eyes held admiration as he said, "There's a statue of Grandpa Madara in the central playground of the academy. It's really cool."
You know, Grandpa Madara rode the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails!
And the Hall of Fame in the academy also talks about Grandpa Madara...
Fought evenly with the God of Shinobi, handled tailed beasts like stroking a cat with one hand, then, with a glare, all the tailed beasts would wag their tails like dogs, stick out their tongues, and show happy smiles... Founded the former strongest hidden village, Konoha, in his old age did not fight for power but directly retired, spent his whole life fighting for peace in the ninja world, came to the Land of Whirlpools in his later years to educate the younger generation, intending to pass on hope...
"Grandpa Madara is as great as Uncle Jun!"
I really want to see Grandpa Madara in person, the legendary Uchiha powerhouse...
"Me too!" Itachi nodded and said, "There's a box left by Grandpa Madara at home. Mom said it's for me, and she'll give it to me only after I become a ninja."
"I don't know what's inside?"
"Maybe it's Grandpa Madara's ninjutsu?" Shisui wore a smile on his face, then switched to a serious tone and said, "And, Itachi, don't tell anyone else about this in the future."
Maybe it's fine in the Land of Whirlpools, but if ninja from other villages hear that a child has a secret treasure passed down from a legendary ninja...
They would definitely try to snatch it!
They wouldn't care who stands behind him!
"Mm, I know." Itachi also said with a serious face, "Mom also told me. But it's fine if it's Brother Shisui."
"By the way, when will Brother Obito come?"
"I don't know, maybe later." Shisui shook his head, his small face showing helplessness as he said, "After all, Brother Obito is really..."
Too lazy!
...
"Achoo, achoo." Obito rubbed his nose, frowned, and muttered, "Could it be that kid Shisui?"
He had today off, and he promised Shisui he would train ninjutsu with him, but...
Obito looked at the textile factory in front of him, straightened his clothes...
He might be late...
"Finally, break time!" Watching the originally tightly closed main door suddenly open, Obito quickly perked up, lifted his spirits, stared intently at the slowly opening door, and holding two bags of...
Dog food...
He walked towards one of the beautiful women with long black hair...
"Rin!"
"Huh?" Nohara Rin looked at the black-haired youth walking over, smiled and said, "It's Obito!" She glanced at what Obito was holding, showing a trace of surprise, "Is this for Doromaru?"
"Yes." Obito raised the dog food in his hand, averted his eyes, and said sheepishly, "I thought you probably didn't have time to buy any. Coincidentally, a Konoha merchant caravan came to the Land of Whirlpools, and they had the special dog food made by the Inuzuka clan. I just casually bought two bags."
"Thank you so much..." Seeing Obito like this, Nohara Rin covered her mouth and laughed, "If it weren't for you, I might have to wait until my day off to have a chance to buy some!"
Because of Lady Tsunade, the ransom for her and Shizune had been fully paid.
So, now their status is that of migrant workers.
They are no longer restricted by the Land of Whirlpools, and they get paid for working now.
Although they had thought about returning to Konoha, Lady Tsunade stopped them, telling them to stay in the Land of Whirlpools and learn medical ninjutsu from her.
Work in the morning, audit classes at the academy from afternoon until evening...
Just...
I wonder how Teacher Minato is doing back in Konoha?
I heard Teacher Minato even became the Fourth Hokage!
Nohara Rin believed in her heart...
Under Teacher Minato's leadership, Konoha will definitely change, becoming even better than the Land of Whirlpools!
"Rin, are you going to..." Obito looked at the lunchbox in Rin's right hand, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you need help?"
"Smack!"
Obito covered his face. What was he saying?
"Oh, this?" Nohara Rin lifted the lunchbox, smiled and said, "It's for Kakashi."
Because no one paid Kakashi's ransom, Kakashi is still serving his sentence...
So pitiful!
"Kakashi!" Obito lifted his head at a forty-five degree angle, his eyes unconsciously moistening...
He wanted to hit someone!
Especially that guy named Kakashi...
This two tomoe Sharingan, although it awakened last time when he saw that brat from Konoha getting so close to Nohara Rin...
But compared to the Sharingan, he wanted to hit someone more!!
This time...
He felt even angrier than last time. Obito felt he could even awaken the legendary Mangekyo!
"Obito, what's wrong?" Nohara Rin saw Obito's expression and asked, puzzled, "Why are your eyes red?"
It's like...
He's about to cry!!
"It's nothing." Obito wiped the corner of his eye, showed a cheerful smile again, and said, "Some sand just got in my eye suddenly."
"Really?!" Nohara Rin was momentarily stunned upon hearing Obito's words, then switched to a serious expression and commanded, "Lower your head!"
Startling Obito, he unconsciously lowered his head...
"Whoosh!" Nohara Rin held Obito's face, slowly moved closer, and gently blew into his eye, "There, that should feel better now."
"Whoosh!"
Obito's face turned red...
"This, this..." Obito quickly handed over a ticket he was holding, saying, "There's a movie next weekend. Rin, are you, are you free?"
Rin is such a good person!
She actually held his face and blew into his eye...
Obito decided, he won't wash his face for a whole week!!
"Next weekend?" Rin curiously took the ticket, glanced at it, and murmured, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day..."
What a strange name!
She smiled and nodded...
"Okay!"
"Whoosh!!"
This, this...
Obito clutched his chest, his face turning even redder. He felt today was his lucky day!
"Th, th, then see you next week!"
His heart was beating very fast now, his head felt rushed, he quickly turned around and ran off...
"I, I have things to do!"
"Wait... wait a moment." Rin opened her mouth, about to say something, but Obito's figure was already gone...
She said helplessly, "This... I was just going to ask why your face is so red, if you're sick or something."
"He ran off so fast?"
She looked down at the ticket in her hand...
"Sigh, I wonder if the foreman will grant me leave next weekend?"
"And Lady Tsunade, won't she be angry?"
A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth...
Obito is really such a good person!
Last week when it was raining, it was Obito who helped and finally saved Doromaru. Otherwise, Doromaru is such a small puppy, separated from his mother, alone on the mountain, and injured, it would have been very dangerous.
She put the ticket away safely, looked at the lunchbox in her right hand...
"I still need to bring the lunch Shizune made to Kakashi!"
Otherwise, Shizune will complain about her again after she gets off work later.
