Smack!!
Before he could even finish speaking, Shisui slapped him. Shisui's expression was almost the same as Ronglin's had been earlier, his face full of speechlessness.
"Idiot. Next time, don't talk. Be grateful Lord Hokage didn't slap you out of the room. Lord Hokage was right—hurry back and take care of the child!!"
Did I say something wrong?
Ronglin had reacted strongly, and Itachi had not thought much of it, but now Shisui's reaction was this big too. Itachi was puzzled. There did not seem to be anything wrong with what he had said, right?
Unfortunately, though Itachi was very mature for his age, there were still some things he could not understand. If those words had been said by his father, Uchiha Fugaku, they would have been perfectly normal, but coming from Itachi, they sounded wrong. If someone with a dirty mind heard them, they might even misunderstand and think Ronglin and Uchiha Mikoto had some unspeakable secret between them.
"That little guy..."
Itachi left. A long while later, Ronglin laughed again. A child was still a child, after all.
But Uchiha Sasuke was about to be born, which meant his little pet was about to appear. What a pity. What a pity.
Uchiha Diqin, who had been covering her mouth and secretly laughing the whole time, grew curious. Why had Ronglin suddenly shaken his head and sighed? Was it because of Itachi?
It seemed she needed to find a time to educate this little nephew of hers. Some things could not be said carelessly. Just now, she, Uchiha Diqin, had almost failed to hold back and burst out laughing.
Itachi's words were hilarious, leaving Ronglin looking embarrassed and confused.
Uchiha Diqin would never know why Ronglin sighed with regret.
