Uchiha Itachi was holding three in his hand, dressed in casual clothes, standing at the school gate. It was just after school let out, and many female students' eyes lit up, even though they were four or five years younger than Uchiha Itachi.
But Uchiha Itachi was handsome! There are many things that cannot be made up for through hard work, and the most important of these is appearance, which is something you're born with.
Moreover, the students at the Ninja Academy are all precocious. After seeing Uchiha Itachi in such a state, they suddenly felt that even the somewhat handsome students in their class were nothing special!
What's more, Uchiha Itachi was holding three sticks in his hand. How cute! How wonderful it would be to stand next to him and eat with him.
Just then, Uchiha Rou walked out carrying a lunchbox, her eyes vacant. Itachi-nii didn't come to class today! She was so bored! Obito- nii was busy on a date with his girlfriend.
Uchiha Shisui was taking it too seriously, and the two were completely on different wavelengths, causing Uchiha Rou to lose interest. After listening to a boring class all day, she asked Uchiha Shisui why Uchiha Itachi wasn't there today.
Uchiha Shisui chuckled, "Itachi took the day off today. I don't know the specific reason. Why does Rou Rou Uchiha Shisui miss Itachi? Then I'll give him a call and ask!"
"No, let's forget it. Itachi-nii must be busy with something important. I shouldn't bother him!" Uchiha Rou said obediently, but her tone inevitably carried a hint of disappointment.
Uchiha Shisui witnessed all of this and couldn't help but sigh, "My buddy Itachi is truly a heartbreaker! Even Uchiha Kō's daughter is completely captivated by him!"
Just then, Uchiha Rou, who was standing at the school gate, suddenly saw Uchiha Itachi, who was tall and had an extraordinary temperament, standing there with a smile on his lips, waving at her!
Suddenly, Uchiha Rou's eyes shone brightly as she rushed towards Uchiha Itachi, a sight that stunned everyone present, including the students.
Now that Uchiha Rou's identity has been exposed, they naturally know that she is the daughter of the Hokage. There are even quite a few people with ulterior motives who want to befriend her, but she has rejected them all.
Everyone originally thought she was a cold and aloof goddess, which was in line with everyone's impression. The main reason was that no one had been able to successfully become friends with Uchiha Rou.
Therefore, everyone called Uchiha Rou cold and aloof goddess. But now, their cold and aloof goddess is rushing towards Uchiha Itachi like a swallow returning to its nest. In an instant, the sound of famous swords shattering rang out.
Of course, it wasn't just the boys; many girls felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had originally wanted to get the other person's contact information, but it turned out that the other person already had someone else in mind.
The one he already loved was Uchiha Kō's precious little princess. How could he possibly compete? Fight to the death? Uchiha Itachi Hand Seals, and a Shadow Clone appeared. Then, Uchiha Itachi handed the item to the Shadow Clone Shadow Clone, who took it, thinking, "MMP!"
With his hands free, Uchiha Itachi quickly picked up Uchiha Rou and asked, "Rou Rou, did you miss Itachi-nii?"
"No!" Uchiha Rou suppressed her smile. She absolutely couldn't let Itachi find out, otherwise all the planning she had put in for so long would be for nothing!
During her break today, she was thinking about what to say to Uchiha Itachi, since he hadn't come to see her all day! After thinking for a while, she finally came up with a plan: to completely reject everything Uchiha Itachi said!
Uchiha Itachi could naturally sense Uchiha Rou's happiness and satisfaction, so he put her on the ground and had Shadow Clone hand him the little rabbit.
Uchiha Itachi took it and then handed it to Uchiha Rou: "This is something I made for you myself! Want to try some?"
Uchiha Rou raised an eyebrow, her anger instantly dissipating by half! She said she didn't want it, but her big eyes were fixed on what Uchiha Itachi was holding. Uchiha Itachi laughed and handed it to Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Rou hesitated for a moment, then, under the coercion and enticement of her appetite, she had no choice but to swallow hard and take a bite of the pink rabbit.
Strawberry flavor! So delicious! Uchiha Rou's eyes lit up, and then she couldn't help but smile.
As expected, eating sweets can lift one's spirits. Uchiha Rou's composure completely vanished, and she began to eat bite after bite.
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi affectionately reached out and took Uchiha Rou's small hand. Uchiha Rou was a little confused, and she looked up at Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi said, "Rou Rou, just eat. I'll hold you so you can eat more comfortably!"
Uchiha Rou thought for two seconds, then nodded. Fine, it's not like the two of them haven't held hands before! Let Uchiha Itachi hold her hand; she doesn't mind!
Aside from Uchiha Rou Uchiha Kō, Tsunade, and Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Yu felt aversion to contact with anyone, even Uchiha Shisui!
And so, the two walked home down the street, unconcerned about the stares of others, walking with an air of composure. Uchiha Itachi noticed the strange looks he received from the crowd, and some of the Uchiha clan members even asked him something.
Uchiha Itachi didn't reply, but instead smiled broadly, which immediately alarmed the entire Konoha! Upon receiving the news Uchiha Fugaku burst into laughter at home, and Uchiha Mikoto's face was also filled with joy.
My son is all grown up and has a girlfriend, who is the little princess of the Hokage family. Originally, Uchiha Mikoto was worried that her son might have a problem with his sexual orientation, but now it seems that he doesn't, and he has excellent taste!
Uchiha Fugaku felt that being beaten was worth it! As a disciple of Uchiha Kō, he knew that without his master's permission, Itachi, being cautious, would never have held hands in public.
In other words, Uchiha Itachi has already overcome the most difficult hurdle!
Uchiha Kō sat at home listening to the Anbu's report, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. Although he had promised Uchiha Itachi a chance, it seemed unnecessary for Uchiha Itachi to be in such a hurry to prove his place in Uchiha Rou's heart!
Is there no justice? Is there no law? Does this person even respect me, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha? Have they considered my feelings as a father?!
Tsunade nearby, was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then quickly calmed down. She looked at Uchiha Kō, seeing that he looked unwell, she hurriedly stepped forward to advise, "Our daughter is all grown up now. It's her right to make her own choices. As parents, we should try to interfere as little as possible!"
Tsunade's eyes were filled with tenderness. Seeing this, Uchiha Kō took a deep breath to calm himself. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Besides, this is just the beginning. Who knows, maybe one day Rou Rou won't like him anymore, right?"
Although his last question was addressed to Tsunade, he was actually eager for Tsunade confirmation. Tsunade sighed, patted Uchiha Kō on the shoulder, and then went back to her room.
When Uchiha Kō heard his wife's answer, he smiled bitterly. In the ninja world, there are no uncertainties. Children mature early, and Uchiha Rou's personality, while not exactly the same as Uchiha Kō's, is not too different.
If Uchiha Rou truly makes up her mind about Uchiha Itachi, then not even ten oxen could pull her back in the future! All she'll be left with are tears!
On the street
Uchiha Rou was still eating. For some reason, it tasted especially good today, better than ever before! And Itachi's hands were big and warm. Most importantly, he cared for Rou Rou the most and understood Rou Rou the best.
If she could, she really didn't want to let go of Uchiha Itachi's hand. She hummed a song, ate, and looked at the scenery around her.
At this moment, Konoha was bustling with activity. A man with triangular green eyes was walking down the street, followed by a group of Konoha officials, each holding a notebook.
"Kakuzu, how do you calculate the finances so quickly!"
"Kakuzu, how have you managed to not embezzle a single penny of Konoha's funds all these years?!"
"Kakuzu, do you like your current job?"
Everyone keeps asking about this angle, it's so annoying! I'm already unhappy at work every Tenten, and now my colleagues keep asking me all sorts of questions after work!
There was no benefit in answering them himself; he couldn't very well say that Uchiha Kō's salary was too high, which had tempted him, and that he had also been given a position that involved handling large amounts of money.
So, his favorite thing is counting money, right? If word gets out, will Kakuzu still be able to hold his Kakuzu high in Konoha? Will he still be able to live in the Ninja World?
Now that Kakuzu is in charge of Konoha's economic department, which is essentially Konoha's purse strings, every official, high and low, fawns over him, fearing that he might find something wrong with them during an audit.
Don't underestimate Kakuzu. This guy is incredibly capable. One department embezzled 50,000 ryo, which is a small sum and wouldn't bother Konoha much. But Kakuzu arrived, he went through the accounts and, within three hours, found out all the problems!
This led to the dismissal of some cadres in that department, and even the minister's political career came to an end. To the officials, Kakuzu was like a living devil; as long as he audited the accounts, all sorts of old, rotten, and shameful things would be uncovered!
And since he's also the god of wealth, every cadre's salary needs Kakuzu's approval before they can receive their money. If Kakuzu approve it, you can't do anything even if you complain to the Hokage.
Because any department that Kakuzu approve of has problems. If they report it, Kakuzu simply throw the evidence in Uchiha Kō's face. Uchiha Kō will be furious and might even kill a few officials.
Today, Kakuzu is regarded as an incorruptible judge and a breath of fresh air among officials!
