Young Lord A was taken back to the village by the ninjas of Kumogakure, and the best doctors were brought in to diagnose him.
The doctor said there was nothing seriously wrong, and he would be much better after he woke up.
This put the Kumogakure present at ease.
Apart from the former Third Raikage's Anbu were still guarding the area, the rest of the ninja clans headed home.
Konoha
Uchiha Rou hummed a song as she walked to the school gate with her lunchbox, where Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui were already waiting.
"Oh? Xiaorou, you brought so much food! Can you finish it all?" Uchiha Shisui chuckled and tried to take it.
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Rou and said, "This is my and Itachi-nii's breakfast, it's not like I'm eating it all by myself!"
Uchiha Shisui's lips twitched as he looked at his best friend, Uchiha Itachi, and gave him a thumbs up. "Awesome, you're really awesome!"
For the Hokage's daughter to bring him food, Uchiha Itachi is probably the only one among Sasori's fathers to do so, right?
Uchiha Itachi smiled and took the food from Uchiha Rou's hands, saying, "Thank you Rou Rou. You must be tired carrying so many lunches all this way. I'll carry them for the rest of the journey."
"Mmm! Itachi-nii is so nice!" Uchiha Rou's eyes lit up immediately, and she slowly said, "Okay~"
Then, humming a song, she walked towards the teaching building. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Itachi-nii, why isn't Obito- nii here?"
Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment and said, "Rou Rou, you Obito- nii and his master on a mission! It seems to be related to Kumogakure."
Uchiha Rou nodded. "Alright then! Since he has a mission, we won't trouble him!" With that, she continued walking forward, and Uchiha Itachi followed.
Uchiha Shisui was left alone, standing behind them, mouth agape in disbelief. "I... I've been ignored! Damn it!"
However, thinking of his mission, he finally sighed and followed. He had no choice; he had been entrusted by the Hokage Uchiha Kō, to Genjutsu Uchiha Rou. Since he had promised, he couldn't give up halfway.
Besides, Itachi's attitude towards Uchiha Rou is clearly off. I need to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything that I'll regret!
In an instant, Uchiha Shisui felt an even heavier burden on his shoulders! This was not only for Uchiha Rou, but also to prevent his best friend from ruining his life for a moment of pleasure!
Uchiha Itachi seemed to notice his emotional fluctuations. At this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips, as if he had thought of something.
Uchiha Rou, as always, was full of energy and youthful spirit, humming a song as her beautiful figure attracted the attention of many students in the corridor.
In the Ninja World, students are often precocious, so some brave students straightened their clothes and prepared to go up and make friends with Uchiha Rou.
However, the next second, Uchiha Itachi glanced over and instantly extinguished the student's inappropriate thoughts.
Uchiha Itachi, a rising star among Konoha's younger generation, has already reached the Kage Level in strength. Even many veteran Jonin are no match for him; going against him is a death sentence without even knowing how it happened.
Judging from this, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Rou seem to have a close relationship, and some people are speculating about their relationship.
Uchiha Itachi, quick-witted, placed his hand on Uchiha Rou's shoulder. "Rou Rou, are you cold?"
Uchiha Rou was a little confused, but she still replied, "I'm not cold, Itachi-nii."
The conversation between the two immediately deterred 99% of the Konoha students. Judging from their intimate words and actions, they must have been in that kind of relationship.
Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass seemed to echo throughout the school. Some girls couldn't help but feel down after hearing these words; Itachi-sama was already taken!
Unaware of what those people were thinking, Uchiha Rou continued walking towards the top floor under the protection of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.
Pushing open the door, Uchiha Rou saw a clean and tidy floor.
"Has someone cleaned this place?" Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Itachi nodded. "After classes end each day, the principal will send someone to clean up."
Uchiha Rou nodded. "Okay! By the way, Itachi-nii, you've worked so hard. You were still on a mission so late yesterday, and you got up so early today. You probably haven't eaten yet!"
"I specially asked my dad to make two bento boxes, please try them!" Uchiha Rou took the bag from Uchiha Itachi's hand, then took out the bento boxes and opened the lids.
Uchiha Shisui leaned against the classroom door, watching the two inside and clicking his tongue in amazement.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi this and chuckled, "Uchiha Shisui, would you like to eat something with me?"
Uchiha Itachi suggested they eat together, but his Sharingan had already transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan, as if threatening him, "You dare to try eating here!"
Uchiha Shisui rolled his eyes. "I'm full today, so I won't disturb your meal. Let's continue today's training after we finish eating."
Uchiha Rou nodded and looked at Uchiha Shisui sincerely, saying, "Brother Uchiha Shisui, you're such a good person!"
Uchiha Shisui's lips twitched. He was no longer the serious, unsmiling Body Flicker Shisui of the original story.
Having followed Uchiha Kō for so long, he had heard about things like being friend-zoned, but looking into Uchiha Rou, innocent eyes, he changed his mind.
"It's alright, you guys eat. I'm going to get some fresh air by the door and keep watch for you." With that, Uchiha Shisui closed the door, then walked to the window opposite the classroom and opened it.
A Breeze blew in from outside, causing Uchiha Shisui's hair to flutter slightly. Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Uchiha Shisui felt as if he had come back to life.
He really couldn't understand it. Was Uchiha Itachi born that he fell in love with a girl five years younger than him, and she was even that person's daughter? He was really something else!
Inside the house
Uchiha Rou took out all the bento boxes, which contained a variety of foods, from small cakes to drinks, and from desserts to main meals.
Uchiha Itachi had originally thought that having breakfast with Uchiha Rou would be fine, and what they ate didn't matter. However, upon seeing the small cakes and desserts, his Adam's apple, which was beginning to show its prominence, couldn't help but move.
His favorite food is sweets, but in recent years, due to missions, he has often been exposed to the elements, eating Military Ration Pill and dry food. He hasn't had sweets in a long time. Now, the lovingly prepared bento boxes brought by Uchiha Rou are filled with all kinds of desserts.
He really likes this! But as a senior, as Itachi's Uchiha Rou, I have to hold back, I have to maintain my dignity!
However, his eyes betrayed him. Although Uchiha Rou was only eight years old, she was quick-witted and soon realized that her Itachi brother liked to eat sweets.
So she pretended to be distressed and said, "Brother Itachi, my tooth has been hurting lately. I really don't know why Dad makes so many sweets! Can you eat them for me?"
Uchiha Rou looked at Uchiha Itachi with her clear, bright eyes. Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment. Could it be that the Lord Hokage was really getting old and forgetful? Did he not even know about his own daughter's health?
"That can't be right, Lord Hokage. He's in his prime now, and back then he had a photographic memory. He really doesn't believe the Lord Hokage could do such a thing."
Therefore, he didn't reply immediately, but looked at Uchiha Rou, Uchiha Rou had a sudden idea. "Actually, I didn't tell Dad that my tooth hurt because I was afraid he wouldn't let me eat sweets in the future!"
Uchiha Itachi nodded. "Hmm, that makes much more sense!"
"Alright, Rou Rou, then for the sake of your teeth, your brother will eat all these sweets for you!" Uchiha Itachi couldn't suppress the Kakuzu, but he still pretended to be the gentleman.
Uchiha Rou sighed, "That's just how it is! But brother, please don't tell my father that I have a toothache! Otherwise, Rou Rou won't be able to eat sweets anymore!"
Uchiha Itachi solemnly replied, "Definitely!"
Uchiha Rou laughed happily, then pushed all the sweets towards Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside he was incredibly excited! Fantastic! Fantastic!
Cake, pudding, and chocolate! Wow!
No matter how mature Uchiha Itachi was, he was still just a 13-year-old child. When faced with things he liked and loved to eat, he would be moved and sometimes couldn't help himself.
"We have to eat all of these!" Uchiha Rou blinked her big eyes and looked at Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi nodded. "I will!" he said, and then began to eat.
Uchiha Itachi first used his fork to scrape off a little cream and put it in his mouth, very elegantly and calmly.
His mature demeanor, coupled with those tear troughs, exudes a melancholic air; no wonder Uchiha Itachi is among the top ten most handsome men in Konoha.
"Delicious!" Uchiha Itachi blurted out, his previously melancholy expression vanishing, replaced by surprise and joy.
He raised his eyebrows, widened his eyes, and parted his lips slightly. He not only loved desserts, but he also ranked the deliciousness of Konoha's desserts.
The levels range from one to five, corresponding to: Edible, Average, Good, Delicious, and Gourmet!
The cream in this cake melts in your mouth without being greasy; instead, it has a refreshing aroma. As the cream slides down your throat, a cool sensation lingers.
"Hmm?" Uchiha Rou an eyebrow. She had also gone to eat desserts with Itachi before, but Itachi always had a calm and expressionless face back then.
To my surprise, the little cake my father made today actually made him say it was delicious!
"Oh? It's this matcha mini cake! Indeed, I love this too! Hehe, doesn't it taste sweet but not cloying, and refreshingly cool?" Seeing Uchiha Itachi enjoying his meal, Uchiha Rou stopped eating and instead rested one hand on her beautiful face.
Then, looking at Uchiha Itachi's handsome profile, the corners of his mouth turned up!
"Yes! I didn't expect Rou Rou's father to be such a good cook!" Uchiha Itachi pouted. Damn it, he had called him "Grandpa Master" for so long, but he had never made this dessert for him. He felt a little upset.
