Uchiha Rou was still sitting on Uchiha Kō's shoulder, but unlike before, she was in low spirits, her head was down, and her hands were unconsciously pinching Uchiha Itachi's face.
Although Uchiha Itachi felt some pain, he didn't utter a sound and continued to support her leg as they walked along the streets of Konoha.
Suddenly, he spotted a bubble tea shop. Uchiha Itachi smiled, looked up at the little crybaby with red eyes above him, and asked, "Would you like some bubble tea?"
These words caused Uchiha Rou, who was lost in thought, to suddenly look up. Her red eyes were filled with doubt. She was somewhat interested, but when she thought about how she had been kept in the dark for eight years, she suddenly lowered her head again.
"I don't want to," Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Itachi chuckled and said, "Then I want a drink, I'll go buy one!"
Uchiha Rou:!!!!!
Her lips pouted even more, and her two little hands unconsciously tapped lightly on Uchiha Itachi's neck!
Uchiha Itachi smiled brightly and walked to the bubble tea shop. It was the same bubble tea shop as before, but now the staff consisted of his friend and Uchiha Izumi.
His friend's eyes lit up when he saw Uchiha Itachi: "Hey! Itachi, you guys are back today! I saw a lot of people welcoming you at the door!"
He paused mid-sentence, then looked at Uchiha Itachi: "So that's why you haven't had a girlfriend in so long! Turns out you already have someone you like!"
Uchiha Itachi frowned. He felt his friend was being a bit too talkative today, so he said expressionlessly, "Give me a Giant Sour Citrus Hand-Shaken Ice, the lemon should be completely blended, and the coldest pieces of the shaved ice."
"I'll only give you three minutes. If you can't do it, I'll give you a bad review!" Uchiha Itachi said indifferently, as if he didn't even recognize this friend.
This made his friend shudder, grit his teeth, and exclaim that Uchiha Itachi was not human!
Uchiha Itachi sneered, "Serves you right for talking nonsense earlier. I wouldn't mind if it were any other time, but can't you see that our little Rou Rou is in a bad mood right now?"
Uchiha Rou then realized that her actions might lead to misunderstandings about her relationship with Itachi, so she said, "Itachi-nii, please put me down."
Uchiha Itachi, however, did not agree. Instead, he said, "It's alright, don't worry about what others say. Just sit still."
Uchiha Rou blushed and said "Oh!" Uchiha Itachi rubbed her ankle. Sitting for long periods of time can cause poor blood circulation and numbness in the legs, so it was understandable that he would help her.
Uchiha Izumi, standing to the side, stared blankly at all of this, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. It turned out that Uchiha Itachi already had someone he loved.
No wonder Uchiha Itachi rejected my subtle and overt hints last time and turned to leave without a word!
Even when I offered him Three-color Dango, he remained unmoved.
Uchiha Rou initially felt that Itachi-nii was having a hard time and wanted to get down, as she felt much better. However, after seeing Uchiha Izumi's eyes, she suddenly didn't want to get down anymore.
Since Itachi didn't say he was tired, I won't get off! That works too!
Three minutes later, Uchiha Itachi spoke up, "It's time!"
His friend, with a serious expression, filled the drink and said, "Your drink is ready. How many straws would you like?"
Just as Uchiha Rou was about to ask for two, Uchiha Itachi surprisingly said quickly, "One, thank you!"
Uchiha Rou pouted even more. "Fine, fine, you won't give me any, huh!" Uchiha Rou subtly nudged Uchiha Itachi in the back.
The force was a bit too strong, causing Uchiha Itachi to lean forward for a moment. He then used his waist and legs to steady himself, slapping Uchiha Rou's thigh and transmitting his voice, "Behave yourself, Rou Rou. You don't want to fall to the ground, do you? You'll be disfigured!"
Uchiha Rou gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, but she didn't make any more moves. This scene was witnessed by Uchiha Izumi.
It seems Itachi and Rou Rou have a good relationship!
Uchiha Itachi's friend was too busy internally criticizing Uchiha Itachi to observe the two of them. After packing the drinks, he said directly, "Welcome to visit again next time." Then he handed them out.
Uchiha Itachi knew his friend well, and he said, "I'm in a good mood since I'm back today. Make a hundred servings of the same ingredients as before, and deliver them to the Uchiha Clan Compound. Tell them it was Uchiha Itachi who treated them to drinks."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Rou seemed to hear the sound of a famous sword shattering. Uchiha Itachi had no chance; he smirked, placed a large stack of money on the window, picked up his drink, and left.
The friend, regaining his senses, looked at it with hatred, inwardly cursing Uchiha Itachi as a beast! Not only did he find such a young girlfriend, but he was also inhuman. A hundred times over, he could do nothing else all day but do this, and that would be enough to make him suffer!
Unfortunately, that's life. If someone pays you, you have to do it. You can't just not do it, right? What if the boss finds out? Will he still get perfect attendance this month?
The bubble tea shop was filled with the sounds of clattering and clanging all afternoon. Itachi's friend's anger made everyone who passed by walk away.
That's terrifying!
Seeing this, Uchiha Izumi said helplessly, "Inabi- kun, please be gentle and have a kinder expression. If this keeps up, how will my shop stay in business?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Inabi softened his movements and temper. He needed this job, and Uchiha Izumi's parents were the owners of the shop. As the owner's daughter, she certainly had a lot of power.
Seeing this, Uchiha Izumi sighed and felt sorry for Uchiha Inabi. If he hadn't been so talkative, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
On the other side, Uchiha Itachi supported Uchiha Rou's leg with one hand while drinking from his beverage with the other.
Suddenly, Uchiha Itachi spoke up, "Rou Rou, hold this for me for a bit, and don't sneak a drink!"
Uchiha Rou: "Oh!" She reached out and took the drink from Uchiha Itachi, glanced at it, and saw that there were still five-sixths left! That's a lot!
I think it's okay to sneak a little drink, right? But that tube was bitten by Itachi, so if I drink from it, does that count as indirect kissing?
However, her desire for food ultimately overcame her reason, and she placed a bucket of drinks on Uchiha Itachi's head Uchiha Itachi was taken aback, but Uchiha Rou said matter-of-factly, "It's just that it's too hot, and you've been carrying me. I was worried you'd get too hot, so I put it on your head to help you cool down!"
Uchiha Itachi chuckled lightly, "Yes, thank you for your Rou Rou!" and continued walking.
Uchiha Rou lowered her head, moving carefully and trying her best to be as gentle as possible so that Uchiha Itachi wouldn't notice, and began to gulp down her drink.
However, what she didn't know was that no matter how careful she was, with Uchiha Itachi -Kage Level strength, he could perfectly detect everything, whether it was the weight of the drink or the sound of Uchiha Itachi Uchiha Rou the drink.
Uchiha Itachi's lips curled up, but he didn't expose Uchiha Rou's intentions. Instead, he hummed a song in a cheerful mood.
Uchiha Rou sipped her drink and listened to music, her previously gloomy mood improved considerably.
She was completely unaware that she had almost finished the entire tub of drinks!
At that moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly spoke up, "Rou Rou, I'm a little thirsty. Can you pass me a sip of your drink?"
Uchiha Rou was taken aback, then froze when she saw that there was still one-sixth of the drink left. After thinking for a while, she finally formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand and used Water Release to add water.
It's back to five-sixths of its original state, but the original greenish-blue color of the drink has faded considerably!
Uchiha Rou blushed as she handed over the drink. Uchiha Itachi didn't even look at it and drank it straight away. He knew immediately that the taste was weak, but he didn't point it out to Uchiha Rou. He smiled and said, "Hmm, not bad, very refreshing!"
Uchiha Rou was a little confused. Could it be that Itachi-nii's sense of taste was off? Otherwise, why couldn't she taste the flavors fading?
"Let me try it!" Uchiha Rou quickly said. Upon hearing this, Uchiha Itachi handed her the drink. Uchiha Rou took a sip and frowned. This was practically as bland as water!
She looked at Uchiha Itachi with a puzzled expression, and after thinking it over, she said, "Itachi-nii, why don't we go see a doctor?"
At this moment, she was genuinely worried that Uchiha Itachi might have a problem with his sense of taste. If he really did, then it would be so pitiful that her brother Itachi would never be able to enjoy the deliciousness of sweets again.
Uchiha Itachi stopped in his tracks. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern Rou Rou."
After saying this, he rubbed Uchiha Rou's ankle, and the two walked along the street. Seeing that the time was right, Uchiha Itachi said, "Rou Rou, I've always known that you're a good girl. Even if the Lord Hokage told you that you're the Hokage's daughter, you would still be a good girl."
"However, the Lord Hokage might not be worried about this, but rather about how others might try to curry favor with you because of your status as the Hokage's daughter. What if you can't tell who's good to you and who's bad to you in the future, and you get completely fooled?" Uchiha Itachi changed his perspective and began to comfort Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Rou lowered her head. She knew that Itachi was right. In fact, she had been carried by Itachi for so long that she was no longer angry. However, her stubbornness as a young girl made it difficult for her to admit her mistake.
After Uchiha Itachi said those words, Uchiha Rou unconsciously lowered her head. "I understand, Itachi-nii, please don't say that to me anymore." As she spoke, Uchiha Rou felt a little sad.
Sensing her emotions, Uchiha Itachi smiled and said, "Want to go get some barbecue? Just the two of us, I'll grill some for you!" Uchiha Itachi changed the subject.
Uchiha Rou: "Really? Just the two of us!"
She looked up at Uchiha Itachi's head with her big eyes, Uchiha Itachi smiled indulgently, "Really, it's just the two of us. When has your brother Itachi ever lied to you? And when we're eating barbecue, I can tell you the details of this unification war!"
Uchiha Rou was somewhat excited, and her two small legs, clad in white stockings, began to move. "Mmm!"
Uchiha Itachi smiled as he walked towards Akimichi Yakiniku Restaurant.
Hatake Sakumo was behind them, took out his phone and told Uchiha Kō about their actions and conversation. Uchiha Kō's expression then improved a little.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sakumo, for troubling you with such a small matter!" Uchiha Kō with a wry smile.
