Chapter 784 My Sasuke Can Do a Backflip

Although today was a day off, Uchiha Itachi still got up on time early in the morning.

After the daily washing, he started daily morning exercises in his own courtyard. The name of a genius also requires hard work and sweat, and he must sail against the current. If he does not advance, he will retreat. There is no room for him to slack off.

By the time he finished his morning practice, the sky was already completely bright. After taking a shower, he got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Sasuke was at this age when he was noisy. Human cubs seemed to have endless energy. As an older brother, there wasn't much he could do but relieve his mother's stress in this way.

By the time his parents got up, several breakfasts he had carefully prepared had been placed on the dining table.

"Are you at home or out today?"

Putting down his chopsticks and finishing his breakfast, Uchiha Fugaku looked up at Uchiha Itachi, who was holding Sasuke in his arms and feeding him.

"When we go out, I made an appointment with Zhi and Quan to conduct ninjutsu training at the public training ground in the village today."

Very respectfully, Uchiha Itachi answered.

The high-pressure education since childhood has made even the dialogue between father and son at such a private dinner table filled with a certain kind of rigid formula.

"Well, come on."

After a polite response, Uchiha Fugaku stood up from the table.

"My expectation for you is to graduate from the ninja school within one year. The assessment for early graduation will become more difficult. Remember to be mentally prepared in advance."

Since the establishment of the Ninja School, the most talented student was Hatake Kakashi. Not only did he graduate from the Ninja School at the age of five, he was promoted to Chuunin at the age of six.

Although Itachi's performance was pretty good, with Juyu in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku would always unconsciously compare him with Kakashi, so he would also unconsciously treat him more harshly. When he woke up , the relationship between father and son has become what it is now.

Those who knew it knew they were father and son, but those who didn’t know it thought they were superiors and subordinates...

(...But speaking of which, that child seems to have really changed many things about Itachi...)

After giving Uchiha Itachi a deep look, Uchiha Fugaku strode out the door.

As the leader of a family, he has to deal with too many things every day, especially when the family is divided into two factions due to discord, so he can be said to be mentally and physically exhausted every day.

Shisui was fine when he was in the clan before, and he didn't know where the other party's courage came from. He forcibly suppressed the discordant voices in the clan, allowing him to live a rare peaceful life, and Uchiha's reputation became even worse. It's rare to get better.

But it is a pity that since the other party received the order of the Third Hokage to rush to the front line more than half a month ago, everything has returned to the way it was before, and the dispute between the conservative and radical factions in the family has resumed.

All he can do now is barely maintain the status quo...for example, keep Shisui's previous arrangements at the police department.

...But if we continue like this, how long can we last?

Before going out, he looked up at the sky, and Uchiha Fugaku sighed silently.

"Hey, Itachi, didn't you say there was only Zhizhi before? When did there be another spring?"

Putting one hand on the table to support his chin and looking at Uchiha Itachi in front of him, Uchiha Mikoto asked.

"The friend Zhi made in school is also from the clan, and his name is Uchiha Izumi."

Very patiently, Uchiha Itachi explained.

——Facing his mother, his tone softened significantly.

"Um...boy or girl?"

"Girl, what's wrong?"

Looking up at his mother, Uchiha Itachi was a little confused.

"Itachi, remember, a man can't play around with things, and he can't have two things at the same time, do you understand?" Uchiha Mikoto raised a finger in front of her with a serious look on her face.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

"Well, let me put it another way, among the two of them, who do you like?"

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Mikoto changed her question.

"Do you want your future wife to be Uchiha Zhi, or Uchi...well, it seems like there is no need to ask."

Looking at her son whose face turned red unconsciously in front of her, Uchiha Mikoto nodded with satisfaction.

——The boy's blush is better than any confession.

She is personally very satisfied with Uchiha Zhi as her daughter-in-law.

"If you have a chance in the future, remember to call her home for a meal."

Uchiha Mikoto looked calm as she took Sasuke back from Itachi's arms who seemed to have fallen into some kind of delusion.

"You have to seize opportunities by yourself. When your father was your age, he had already shamelessly visited my house for more than a dozen meals. It turns out that it's good for you. It's been so long, and you still haven't taken the other person's lead. I have come to my house and I have to take the initiative to remind..."

When she said this, Uchiha Mikoto shook her head helplessly.

"I……"

"What are you talking about? I know you're not very good at talking, but don't you know how to make excuses? It's better to say that your one-year-old brother can do a backflip, isn't that enough?"

Glancing at Uchiha Itachi in front of her, Uchiha Mikoto's tone was full of hatred.

"When your dad tricked me into going to his house, he used the excuse that his ninja cat could dance... Don't come back at noon, just eat outside. By the way, if you don't succeed in bringing Zhi home at night, don't go home for dinner at night."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

…………………………………………

Because of this little episode before going out, Uchiha Itachi was late for a rare time. When he arrived at the public training ground of the village, Zhi and Quan had already started sparring before training.

...But why is there another person?

Looking at a cheerful black-haired woman sitting on the steps eating glutinous rice balls, Uchiha Itachi's face couldn't help but look a little subtle.

Ever since the shared table at the barbecue restaurant that day, this guy always seemed to appear beside them in an inexplicable way, and it always felt as if he could run into each other no matter where he went.

On the way home from school, breakfast shops, ramen restaurants, training grounds... so many times that he almost suspected that the other party was deliberately following them.

Although he had no ill feelings towards the other party, Uchiha Izumi had already entered their world of two people, and now there was another person, so it became four people.

If the other party was ordinary, it would be fine, but the problem was that there was an extraordinary identity behind him.

—— Mitarashi Red Bean was the direct student of Orochimaru.

Just relying on this identity, it was enough for the other party to walk sideways in the village. He really couldn't understand why the other party kept following them.

...It can't be because of fun, right?
