Autumn is getting thicker, and the air has become clear and cold. Along with the sound of footsteps, the scattered streets gradually came into view.
Suddenly, Uchiha Chen felt like he was looking down on himself from a high altitude. The small light inside Clan Grounds combined with the towering Hokage Rock made him think a lot.
The moonlight shone brightly, and the two walked side by side into the yard, and then the girl tilted her head.
"Want to come in?"
After she finished speaking, she added, "We can have supper together."
He touched his belly. Although he had already eaten before, the boy decided to eat some more.
The room is not big, but it is very clean. If you look carefully, the layout of the room is very similar to that of Uchiha Chen's home.
In other words, both sides were actually decorated by the same person, but there was more of a girlish atmosphere here.
Uchiha Chen was sitting on a chair in the living room. There were carefully made flower arrangements on the table. He took a sniff and a light fragrance hit his nostrils.
After a while, Mikoto came over with two cups of scented tea on a tray.
"Drink."
He nodded, then picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. The rich tea aroma, paired with the right water temperature, is full of enjoyment. Mikoto is really gentle and attentive.
"Didn't you say yesterday that the light in the bedroom was broken?" Uchiha Chen asked after drinking tea.
"... Yes, I can only use Sharingan to watch things at night."
"Then let me fix it for you."
"... Okay?"
"No problem, I'm a professional."
Taking advantage of the time to change the light bulb, Mikoto put on an apron and walked towards the kitchen. Soon the house was filled with the smell of cooking and food.
For half an hour, the two sat opposite each other across a small table made of wooden boards.
"It smells so good! I like egg fried rice the most."
"Is this a compliment to my cooking skills?" Mikoto said with a smile while enjoying the meal.
"By the way, it might be mixed with egg shells, so be careful when eating."
After Mikoto finished speaking, Uchiha Chen's face turned red. "Hey, you're still holding a grudge against the omelette I made. Aren't there some more eggshells?"
"Hahaha, I really can't forget that fried egg."
"But it still tastes good, right?"
Tastes good? Mikoto finds it funny.
"Speaking of the taste..." She looked at Uchiha Chen with a smile, "Honestly, it tastes bad at all. It's super bad."
"You're going too far." Uchiha Chen knocked on the table. "Mikoto, classmate, you are so mean! You actually laughed at me. Your attitude is very inappropriate."
The boy's protest was really funny, Mikoto couldn't help but laugh again.
After the dishes were cleared away, the room was filled with the warm aroma of tea. Green curtains hung on the windows, and the room was also dyed with a touch of light green.
The two of them sat on chairs and looked at the moonlight outside the window. Mikoto likes quiet people, but today he was a bit uncharacteristic and took the initiative to chat about many interesting things.
Uchiha Chen listened carefully and occasionally responded twice. He sat on the chair by the window, not looking at Mikoto, but he knew clearly that she had a smile on her face.
Mikoto The soft muffled sound of bare feet on the ground sounds like a wonderful melody to the ears.
I don't know why, but at this moment, the endless troubles, endless anxiety, and the confusion and uneasiness that enveloped his whole body like a thin film after returning from the battlefield were all far away from him.
In his mind, he turned the emotions welling up from the deepest part of his heart into words, being careful not to disintegrate them.
Maybe this is what family tastes like!
Hearing Mikoto talk about the mission, Uchiha Chen hesitated and asked, "Mikoto, would you rather go on a mission with your tribe, or carry out the mission like you are doing now?"
Mikoto thought for a while and said, "Nawaki and Minato are our good friends, and we are very happy to get along with them. But the attitude of the tribe is not so good, and I don't like being with them very much."
"Yeah, I don't like it that much either."
"So, today Young Clan Head invited me to go to Daimyo's Capital with him, but I refused."
"Oh." Mikoto nodded, "It's right not to go. We killed Twelve Guardian Ninja. It's better not to go there now."
"I think so too. And I feel like the clan will suffer a big loss this time."
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it, we killed Hidden Sand Village's Jonin and cut off their food route. How can they fight us without food? In order to maintain the war situation, Third Kazekage will definitely re-open this route at all costs.
At this time, the patriarch takes people to protect Daimyo's safety, and the two parties will definitely meet. For their own benefit, those businessmen will also leak Konoha Ninja's information to Hidden Sand Village. Although the clan leaders are large in number and strong in strength, they will probably suffer a big loss if they are calculating mentally but not intentionally! "
"Then why did the clan leader go to Lord Hokage to ask for this mission?"
Mikoto is a little confused, why should we go if it is so dangerous? At the meeting, the clan leader kept saying that he got this mission from Third Hokage.
"That's not the case. The patriarch is just talking. Think about it, which one sounds better, what others forcefully give you or what you ask for yourself?" Uchiha Chen shook his head.
"And Teacher Orochimaru told me that it was Shimura Danzo who asked Uchiha Clan to protect Daimyo. It is said that Third Hokage had a fight with him over this, but in the end he had no choice but to agree."
This statement also sounds a bit wrong, but when I think about Danzo's character, Uchiha Chen feels relieved. But he didn't expect that Third Hokage was actually a positive character!
"Shimura Danzo?"
"Well, he is the leader of Root and the senior executive of Konoha. He is an extremely dangerous person, so be careful when you encounter him in the future."
"Well, since he is so dangerous, let me protect you from now on." Mikoto whispered, finally tilting his head and leaning on the boy's shoulder.
"Mikoto?"
Uchiha Chen whispered, Mikoto looked a little strange, is today a special day?
"It's okay, I just want to lean against you." Mikoto whispered.
"Chen... chen..." Mikoto leaned on his shoulder and whispered a few words.
"What?"
He didn't hear clearly.
"I like you."
Well, I heard it clearly this time.
"How much do you like it?"
"Like a little bear in spring."
"Hey, but I have always played the role of the little bear in spring. The little bear is fat and not good-looking at all."
"... Okay." Mikoto moved his head and changed into a more comfortable position. "Mr. Bear, do you like me?"
Uchiha Chen reached out and touched Mikoto's head and whispered in her ear.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
