After Uchiha Kō left, Uchiha Fugaku slowly got up and walked towards the river. At this moment, all he wanted was to wash away the disheveled look on his face. For this damned son, he was truly going all out.
Uchiha Itachi seemed to have a telepathic connection with his father at that moment. He trembled and felt a strange sense of guilt. However, when he saw Uchiha Rou in front of him, he quickly realized that none of that mattered.
Making sure Xiaorou eats well is the most important thing right now. Uchiha Itachi picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it on the grill, where it sizzled.
The meat, with its perfect balance of lean and fatty pieces, looked incredibly appetizing. Uchiha Itachi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, staring intently at the roasted meat, not missing a single moment as it was cooked. As soon as it was done, he placed it on Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Rou, feeling that going out for barbecue with Itachi-nii was a completely different experience. She didn't have to grill the meat herself, didn't have to care about other people's opinions, and didn't have to worry about whether her manners were appropriate.
Just enjoy the moment and the grilled meat Itachi gave her; that's enough.
Uchiha Rou coated the grilled meat with the sauce, then took a bite. Instantly, the fruity aroma burst forth, accompanied by the meat juices and fragrance, giving the grilled meat a flavor that transcended its original taste.
"Delicious!" Uchiha Rou smiled sweetly, then handed the chicken wings she had grilled to Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi was taken aback for a moment, then ate them with a smile.
"Mmm, Rou Rou's grilled meat smells so good, it makes you want to eat more," Uchiha Itachi praised generously.
Uchiha Rou to herself, and this state lasted for more than two hours.
Because Uchiha Rou appetite and is constantly eating, this tiny girl eats the equivalent of three people's meals, and the best part is that she doesn't get fat.
It was truly enviable; although Uchiha Itachi didn't eat much, his hands never stopped, constantly grilling meat and serving vegetables to Uchiha Rou.
After five courses of food, Uchiha Rou leaned back comfortably in her chair. Uchiha Itachi looked at her tenderly, a smile playing on his lips.
"Brother Itachi, I'm so full! What do we do next?" Uchiha Rou said blankly.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but chuckle at her appearance, "Let's have a quick bite to eat, then head home."
Uchiha Rou immediately wilted upon hearing this, not because of Liu Liu Shi, but because she had just had a falling out with Old Deng and didn't know what to do.
She was reluctant to go home. If she went home so early, her father might laugh at her, because in her eyes, that was exactly what her father was like.
Now she's even wearing the title of Hokage, and the Hokage she idolizes is her own father! It's really both shameful and hilarious.
If she doesn't go home, where else can she go? Given her father's power and influence, if she goes to someone else's house or tries to leave Konoha, probably a hundred or so Jonin out, and she couldn't possibly defeat them...
Uchiha Itachi tried to persuade Uchiha Rou again. Uchiha Rou's eyes darted around, but she finally nodded. She would go home in a little while, but how long "a little while" was up to her!
The phone rang every ten minutes from Uchiha Kō, all of them reporting on Uchiha Rou's movements by Anbu captain Hatake Sakumo.
Upon learning that Uchiha Itachi had only invited Rou Rou to dinner, his expression improved considerably. Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi was sensible; otherwise, Uchiha Kō wouldn't mind breaking his third leg!
I may appreciate it, but if you touch my perfectly healthy cabbage, I'll chop you up!
"Continue to track them, keep a close eye on them, and report back immediately if anything happens!" Uchiha Kō said indifferently.
"Yes!" Hatake Sakumo said, hung up the phone, continued to conceal his breathing, and then began typing, contacting his colleagues through a certain software.
"Listen up, everyone, keep a close eye on Miss and Uchiha Itachi!" Hatake Sakumo typed.
OK
"Receive"
"Over"
Hatake Sakumo smiled as he read everyone's answers, then continued to stare intently.
Finally, everyone realized that the two men were simply strolling leisurely around the village streets. As for what they were saying, the Anbu Ninjas couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away.
The two seemed somewhat intimate, a gesture that made all the Anbu Ninjas look at Uchiha Itachi with newfound respect. This kid might just become the Lord Hokage's son-in-law someday.
Even Hatake Sakumo secretly gave Uchiha Itachi a thumbs up. However, becoming the Lord Hokage's son-in-law would be somewhat difficult, since his father-in-law was very assertive and powerful.
Uchiha Rou and Uchiha Itachi walked and talked for two hours before it was finally time to part ways.
"It's time to go back!" Uchiha Itachi murmured, looking at the darkening sky.
Uchiha Rou looked up at the sky, her mood somewhat downcast. She uttered an "oh," Uchiha Itachi smiled and patted her head. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a cracking sound.
A figure in the Anbu holding a digital camera instantly attracted the attention of many people. Hatake Sakumo in the shadows, saw this and was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
He quickly typed in the software group, "Who the hell is this subordinate? He's incredibly stupid!"
Then I saw someone get kicked out of the group chat.
Report: "No!"
Hatake Sakumo touched his forehead. The team members were talented, and so was the captain.
Uchiha Itachi's expression was grim. He knew perfectly well that he had been targeted by the Anbu ninjas, and that the Anbu Ninjas had just tried to provide him with firsthand information about Uchiha Kō!
His face darkened, and he was about to attack, but Uchiha Rou stopped him in the end. "Brother Itachi, let it go. This is just to pass on a message to my father. He did nothing wrong."
Uchiha Rou sighed. After learning about Uchiha Kō's identity, she naturally understood why she had always felt like she was being watched from behind.
These were all guards sent by her father to ensure her safety.
Uchiha Itachi nodded upon hearing this. "Alright, for the sake of our Rou Rou, I won't attack them." After saying that, Uchiha Itachi coldly glanced at the Anbu holding the digital camera.
The Anbu gave an awkward laugh, hid the digital camera behind his back, and retreated with an apologetic expression. He had done this for the sake of advancement and for his job.
Uchiha Itachi snorted coldly, then took off his trench coat and draped it over Uchiha Rou. Uchiha Rou smiled slightly, "Thank you, Itachi-nii!"
Uchiha Itachi nodded, then escorted Uchiha Rou home.
Hatake Sakumo told Uchiha Kō the news, Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. When did the Anbu get such a talented person?
You're not only taking pictures secretly, but you also turned on the flash and the sound. Even someone who isn't a ninja would probably notice!
That's incredibly stupid! But when he heard that Uchiha Itachi hadn't done anything to his child, only patting his head, he didn't do anything out of line.
He felt relieved, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the villa.
He was preparing to welcome his daughter home. After all, although he had kept the fact that he was the Hokage a secret from Uchiha Rou for her own good, he had ultimately lied to her.
As a father, he still needs to apologize to his daughter.
As for Uchiha Itachi, that long-haired guy, Uchiha Kō took two deep breaths, determined not to make a move, absolutely not to make a move!
Impulsiveness is the devil, impulsiveness is the devil! It took Uchiha Kō ten minutes to calm himself down.
Even when faced with dire straits, surrounded by powerful enemies, or even if he were to be shattered to pieces at any moment, Uchiha Kō's emotions had never fluctuated this much. Now that his daughter had been kidnapped, this was unacceptable!
Just as he was contemplating whether to steam or braise Uchiha Itachi, Tsunade came out, wearing a green cheongsam and with her hair in a ponytail, and hugged Uchiha Kō from behind.
"Honey, you're still thinking about our daughter, aren't you?" Tsunade pressed her face against Uchiha Kō's back.
Uchiha Kō's tense muscles relaxed instantly, and he sighed, "Yes, Rou Rou is still young and can't distinguish between love and admiration. I'm afraid she'll be deceived."
Tsunade chuckled, "Honey, aren't you underestimating our daughter? Do you really think that as the daughter of Uchiha Kō, she wouldn't be able to distinguish between love and reverence?"
"Do you think our daughter would be so easily fooled? It's just that she's always been unguarded with you, taking everything you say as the truth," Tsunade explained.
She realized from the beginning that Uchiha Rou was not such a simple girl; she liked to observe, explore, and even question.
This was exactly like the young Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō fell silent. He lowered his head and sighed. He had hidden it from Uchiha Rou.
Thinking of Uchiha Rou, Uchiha Kō softened immediately, and even Uchiha Itachi didn't want to pursue the matter anymore.
"Honey, our relationship was a free choice, so why are you interfering when it comes to our daughter? Besides, I think Itachi is ambitious, kind, brave, serious and hardworking when it comes to missions, and never slacks off in training. He's only 4 or 5 years younger than me, so I think he's quite good." Tsunade smiled.
Uchiha Kō remained silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head, but keeping his gaze fixed on the direction of the Anbu's report. Tsunade sighed inwardly, "Daughter, this is all I can do for you."
Who can blame them when Uchiha Rou's father is Uchiha Kō, and who can blame them when Uchiha Kō is the strongest Ninja World?
If Uchiha Itachi wanted to become Uchiha Rou's boyfriend, he still had a long way to go, and his biggest and most difficult hurdle was Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō's eyes suddenly lit up; he saw his daughter's figure.
Tall figure, tied ponytail, long straight black hair, youthful and beautiful face.
Uchiha Kō was overjoyed and wanted to hug his daughter, but less than half a second later, he froze, his expression turning from sunny to cloudy.
His previously upturned face was now drooping, as if someone owed him 50 billion!
Uchiha Itachi draped his coat over Yuu Uchiha Rou 'Uchiha Rou, looking at her with doting eyes, completely oblivious to the fact that she should restrain herself in front of her father!
