Discussing Things with Sen'u

Karura did not answer Sen'u's words, but became even more upset.

Seeing Karura's miserable state, Tianqi shouted at Sen'u, "You brat, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"

Reprimanded by her father, Sen'u immediately retorted.

"What do you mean I can't speak? I'm just asking about my brothers and sisters. Father, you're making a huge fuss!"

"You dare talk back, kid? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up. Your Karura mother's children are all dead. Asking this is just rubbing salt into the wound!"

Hearing this, Sen'u was also stunned. It turned out that her brothers and sisters were gone. No wonder her father had made such a fuss; it turned out that his children had passed away.

Sen'u immediately stood up and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Mother Karura, Father, I didn't know your child was already... I'm sorry, it was all my fault for speaking so carelessly!"

"It's alright, Sen'u. Ignorance is no excuse. You didn't do it on purpose, and I've already let it go!"

Seeing her stepmother's magnanimity, Sen'u felt even more guilty. How could a parent so easily let go of the death of their own child? He was a real jerk for constantly bringing up the death of someone else's child.

Just then, Mikoto had prepared dinner, was about to call everyone to eat when she stepped into the room and noticed that something seemed amiss.

Her husband, Sen'u, looked apologetic, while Karura's mother was somewhat saddened, and her father-in-law Tianqi, comforted her from the side.

"What's going on? Sen'u, did you make Karura Mother angry?"

"Uh... this... I..." Faced with his wife's question, Sen'u stammered, realizing that the matter was indeed related to him.

Seeing Sen'u's stammering appearance, Mikoto guessed that he must have offended Karura Mother. She glanced at Sen'u helplessly, then went to Karura Mother and asked, "Karura Mother, are you alright? If Sen'u has offended you, tell me, and I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

"It's alright, it's alright, this has nothing to do with Sen'u, it's my own problem!" Karura composed himself and looked at Mikoto with a loving expression.

"Are you really alright? What if...?"

"Alright, alright, Mikoto, your Karura mother is fine. She's just a little sad thinking about the past. Let's eat when the food is ready!" Tianqi quickly interrupted Mikoto, afraid that she would ask him something else.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Tianqi had spoken, Mikoto had no choice but to give up. Then, the five members of the family went to the dining table, and Itachi was also called over.

"What happened to Itachi? Are you alright?" Tianqi asked with concern, looking at his eldest grandson.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Grandpa!"

Itachi nodded. Witnessing such a bloody scene for the first time was somewhat unsettling for a five-year-old, but he was confident that it wouldn't happen again next time.

"It's good that he's alright. Everyone, let's eat!" Seeing that his grandson was alright, Tianqi immediately told everyone to start eating.

However, although everyone shouted "Let's eat!" and picked up their chopsticks, no one actually took any food. Only Sen'u was showing off with her bowl and chopsticks.

After taking a few bites, Sen'u noticed that no one else had touched their chopsticks, and he was the only one wolfing down his food. A little embarrassed, Sen'u asked, "Uh... isn't anyone hungry today?"

"Um... actually, we already ate out today, so we're not hungry."

"Oh, I see. That explains why no one touched their food. They went out to eat something delicious behind my back!" Sen'u finally understood after hearing that they had gone out to eat.

"What do you mean we went out to eat something nice behind your back? Who can you blame for not being home? Hurry up and eat, I have something to tell you after you're done!"

"Father, why don't you just say what's on your mind? Why do you have to wait until I finish eating?"

"Alright, then you can listen while you eat. I'm planning to leave Konoha tomorrow with your Karura mother. I probably won't be back for the next few years. Also, I was thinking..."

Before Tianqi could finish speaking, Sen'u put down her chopsticks and frowned, saying, "Why are you leaving so suddenly? I saw Danzo come to our house before. Did that old bastard threaten you, Father? If so, I'll go find him right now. He's asking for death for threatening my father!"

As she spoke, Sen'u stood up. Her father was the pillar of their family, and Sen'u wanted to bring him into the Hokage lineage. Even if she couldn't bring him in, he could still keep those old guys in check while he was at home. How could she let her father leave Konoha just because of Danzo?

"Sit down! No one threatened me, and they can't threaten me. This was all my own decision!"

Hearing that it was his father's own decision, Sen'u slowly sat down, and then asked in a low voice, "Father, why are you leaving so soon after you just got back? Our family hasn't had a proper chance to explore Konoha yet."

"Let's skip the trip to Konoha. You know your father is used to being alone. The noisier the place, the more uncomfortable I feel. Besides, I haven't seen your mother for many years. Seeing that you are all well and well when I come back this time puts my mind at ease. It's time to go find your mother and enjoy our life together..."

"Is that so? But you haven't met the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage and Kushina yet. Why not stay a little longer and meet them... and your old friends in Konoha too..."

"Heh, it's better to cherish the memory than to meet again. I can guess what happened to them. Let's just forget about meeting; there will be other opportunities. You don't need to say anything more about my staying or leaving. No one can change my mind. I will definitely leave tomorrow!"

"Alright then..." Seeing that her father was really about to leave, Sen'u knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only give up.

"Leaving is the first thing, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I want to take Weasel with me when I leave tomorrow. What do you think about that?"

"You're going to take Itachi away? This..."

Upon hearing that his father wanted to take Itachi away, Sen'u frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't want his son to leave his side, especially since Itachi's talent was so high. However, Sen'u had to consider his father's position.

However, it is also obvious that Itachi, with his talent, will have a limitless future training under the guidance of his father, the strongest man in the village. But his father's dislike of Konoha is a big problem. He doesn't want his son to be someone who dislikes Konoha, so he is very conflicted.
