A Little One at Home

Mikoto and Tianqi talked a lot after that, but most of the conversation revolved around her and Sen'u. While they were talking, Mikoto's face was filled with happiness, and Tianqi could tell that Mikoto's choice to follow Sen'u was the right one.

"I didn't expect Tsunade to not come back for your wedding. That's really going too far!" Tianqi frowned slightly when he heard that Tsunade hadn't returned for Sen'u's wedding. He had a legitimate reason for not being able to come back, but for Tsunade, a person in the Shinobi World, to not even attend her own son's wedding was really going too far.

"No, no, Mother still sent us a lot of things back then. Sen'u and I understand Mother's situation, so I didn't have any objections!" Mikoto waved her hands and hurriedly explained, afraid that she would cause trouble for the two elders.

"Sigh, Mikoto, you're so kind and understanding. Well, that's precisely why I feel at ease leaving Sen'u, this hot-blooded young man, in your care!" Tianqi sighed. Who wouldn't want their elders to be present on their wedding day and to personally receive their blessings? But it was precisely because of this magnanimity that Tianqi's affection for his daughter-in-law only grew stronger. Having such a virtuous wife and loving mother was truly a blessing.

"No, not at all!" Mikoto lowered her head shyly after being praised by Tianqi. She knew that her father-in-law never praised anyone easily. She glanced at the height of the sun outside and knew that it was almost lunchtime. Mikoto said, "It's almost lunchtime. Father, you can rest for a bit. I'll go down and prepare the food."

"Yes, it's almost time. Thank you for your hard work, Mikoto!" Tianqi nodded; he was indeed a little hungry too.

"It's no trouble at all, it's all I should do. Father, please rest for a bit, I'll go now!" With that, Mikoto withdrew. The meal could have been prepared by the servants, but since her father-in-law was back today, Mikoto insisted on cooking a meal herself to show her filial piety.

Watching Mikoto's departing figure, Tianqi nodded in satisfaction. He was truly pleased with this daughter-in-law; she was dignified, sensible, understanding, and filial. It was rare to find someone with so many virtues.

"Oh dear! My brain is malfunctioning. I forgot to ask Mikoto if they have any children. Am I really getting old? I wonder if that little one has been born into our family yet!" Tianqi slapped his head hard.

The little guy was naturally referring to Uchiha Itachi. Based on the current timeline, the young genius Itachi should be four or five years old now. If Itachi had been born into the Tianqi, then Uchiha Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, would have been a certainty.

Thinking of Uchiha Itachi, Tianqi immediately started wandering around the house, trying to find any trace of his grandson. According to Tianqi's calculations, Mikoto and Sen'u were both around thirty years old, so they must have had their own children.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mikoto's servants found Sen'u working at the Anbu base.

"Lord Sen'u, Madam says an important person has come to the house and you need to return now. What do you think..." the servant cautiously reported to Sen'u, who was reading documents.

"What kind of important person is this? Can't you see I'm busy right now? Go back and tell Madam to tell that so-called important person to wait. I'll be back as soon as I'm done!" Sen'u waved his hand impatiently from his pile of documents. He didn't give face to anyone in Konoha except the Hokage and a few high-ranking officials. This confidence came from his Kage-level strength. The high-ranking officials and the Hokage would only come to him here, so Sen'u regarded that so-called important person as a minor character and didn't want to pay much attention to him.

"Uh... but judging from Madam's appearance, that person seems to be quite important. Lord Sen'u, perhaps you should go back?" The servant said nervously. Madam Mikoto's order was for him to bring the head of the family back no matter what, but he dared not force the head of the family to do so because of his prestige. He could only try to persuade him again.

"Hmm?" Hearing the servant say that the person in the family seemed to be of considerable importance, Sen'u immediately became interested. He knew that his wife Uchiha Mikoto, was a worldly person, and she wouldn't usually send someone to inform him. So Sen'u asked, "Is it the Third Hokage or some clan Clan Head has come?"

"Uh... no, I've never seen that person before. He's probably an outsider. He doesn't have any village markings on him, so I can't tell..." The servant shook his head, completely unaware of Tianqi's identity.

"Outsider? No identification whatsoever? Just some ant. Let him wait!" Upon hearing that he wasn't a high-ranking official from the village or someone from another village, Sen'u immediately lost interest and sat down to continue reading the documents.

"Alright, Lord Sen'u, you're busy, I'll take my leave now!" Seeing that the head of the family had no intention of leaving, the servant had no choice but to retreat helplessly.

When the servant returned home, he relayed everything Sen'u had said to Uchiha Mikoto.

"What! He actually dared to say that? Is he crazy? If the person in the main hall finds out, he'll be in deep trouble!" Hearing Sen'u call her father an ant, Mikoto's eyes widened. This guy really dares to say anything!

"Uh... Madam, is it really that serious?" the servant asked with a puzzled look. How could anyone in this village dare to discipline the head of the Sen'u family? The head of the family was someone even the Lord Hokage gave some face to.

"Not serious? Sen'u has no idea who he's dealing with. Sigh! Forget it, it's better if he doesn't come back. That person also has a problem with Sen'u. Let's wait for our son to come back and smooth things over between them!" Mikoto sighed, knowing that Tianqi had a problem with Sen'u taking the position of head of the Anbu. She could only rely on her son to come back, hoping that Tianqi would consider his grandson's feelings and not embarrass Sen'u too much.

"Are we waiting for the young master to return and smooth things over? Who exactly is that person, Madam?" Upon hearing this, the servants were also incredibly curious about Tianqi's identity.

"Alright, don't ask questions you shouldn't. You'll find out eventually. Okay, go now and don't bother me while I'm cooking!" Mikoto shook her head and focused on cooking.

Meanwhile, Tianqi, after wandering around for a while, finally stopped in a room. Looking at the clothes in the wardrobe, he smiled.

"Such tiny clothes... there really is another child in this house. Could it be Uchiha Itachi?" Touching the sets of tiny clothes, Tianqi was filled with curiosity about this grandson.

If it really is Uchiha Itachi, then that would be really interesting.
