Uchiha Kō took a deep breath, burying his emotions, and walked towards his home with a dangerous look on his face.
He cannot tell anyone what he knows today, because the Heavenly Dao controls everything in the Ninja World. Although he cannot directly intervene, he can still learn about the Ninja World's news immediately.
If he tells others about this, Heavenly Dao cannot destroy him, but it can destroy others!
He had no choice but to bear it all himself! There was no other way; this was the situation that Uchiha Kō had to face.
When she returned home, Uchiha Rou was already back. Seeing her father, she greeted him, "Father!"
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. He looked at Uchiha Rou, concealing his emotions, and said with a smile, "Rou Rou is back. How is it? Is it delicious?"
Uchiha Rou nodded. "Delicious! I didn't Teuchi could not only make great ramen, but also make amazing barbecue! I'm totally a fan now!"
Uchiha Kō nodded upon hearing this, then pinched Uchiha Rou's cheek; it was as smooth and tender as mutton fat jade, truly delightful.
Uchiha Rou smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her father. The next moment, Tsunade swayed her figure and walked towards Uchiha Kō and Uchiha Rou.
She saw that Uchiha Kō was soaked in the rain and felt a pang of heartache, but she didn't want to show too much in front of the child, so she said, "Rou Rou, didn't you say you were going to the Land of Waves with Itachi for an escort mission tomorrow? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Uchiha Rou realized what she meant and quickly nodded, "That's right! Dad! Mom! I'm going to sleep now!"
After saying that, she quickly got up and headed upstairs to her room. Tomorrow was her first long-distance mission! This was no simple D-level mission!
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. An escort from the Land of Waves? Could this be the start of the main storyline?
His lips twitched. He wondered who Rou Rou's opponent was. So unlucky, with two Mangekyo in one team. He wondered if it would be Zabuza and Haku!
His understanding of Kirigakure was limited to the briefings submitted from various locations; it would be highly unusual for him to focus too much on a single ninja.
However, no matter who it was, he felt quite sorry for the opponent when they fought against Uchiha Rou and Uchiha Itachi.
Tsunade took out a towel and dried Uchiha Kō's wet hair. "Why didn't you try to avoid the rain when you went out?"
Tsunade made no attempt to inquire where Uchiha Kō had gone or what he had been doing; as his wife, she would choose to unconditionally support her husband.
Realizing this, Uchiha Kō immediately embraced Tsunade.
Tsunade exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! No, this is the living room!"
Uchiha Kō paused for a moment, then smiled and walked towards the bedroom.
Crackle, crackle (30,000 words omitted here)
Early the next morning
Uchiha Kō has already switched to the skin of a stay-at-home dad. He skillfully starts cooking breakfast by heating oil in a wok, while preparing forty sandwiches for Uchiha Rou.
This also corresponds to the four people involved in this mission: Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Rou, Sasuke Uchiha, and Uzumaki Karin.
After all, this was the first time these people had traveled far from home, and other food items were not suitable to bring. Sandwiches were just right, and they were also easy to store.
I estimate it will only take three or four days. If I put it in the Standard Ice Scroll I prepared, it won't easily rot.
His culinary skills are beyond question; these forty sandwiches all contain different ingredients, covering almost every dish that Uchiha Kō can make.
Uchiha Rou woke up early in the morning and smelled a delicious aroma. Her eyes lit up and she rushed to the kitchen, only to find her father making sandwiches.
"Wow, so much!" Her pupils widened. "Daddy, can... can we finish it all?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kō looked up and said with a smile, "Your Orochimaru made a Standard Ice Scroll, suitable for storing blood and ice. I thought it was useful, so I asked for one."
Orochimaru: "Damn it, when you were staring at me with your Wheel-shaped Six-Tomoe Mangekyō Sharingan, did I dare refuse?"
Uchiha Rou nodded. Last night she was saddened that she would soon be unable to eat her father's cooking, but now it seems that it's not so bad after all.
Looking at the sandwiches that Uchiha Kō had made, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She hadn't expected her father to be so considerate. She noticed that each sandwich was quite large and filled with plenty of ingredients.
The flavors were chosen to be her favorite dishes. After making the last sandwich, Uchiha Kō took out plastic wrap and wrapped the sandwiches up.
"Here are yours, Itachi's, and your two teammates'. Remember to share them later, so they can taste the Hokage's cooking!" Uchiha Kō laughed.
Uchiha Rou nodded and said, "If I said it was made by my father, they would definitely be very happy!" She trusted her father's cooking skills; for more than ten years, her father had been the one cooking.
Why, you ask? Tsunade's cooking, while decent, is more confined to the books; some details might not seem significant to someone eating it for the first time.
But after that, if you ever eat food cooked by Uchiha Kō, you'll experience a world of difference.
Uchiha Rou was spoiled by Uchiha Kō and became quite picky about food. Of course, if she was on a mission, she could only eat Military Ration Pill and roasted meat, and she had no objections.
Uchiha Kō took out four sandwiches, put them in a plastic bag, and then sealed the remaining thirty-six in an ice scroll.
He handed the ice scroll to Uchiha Rou: "Here, take it. There aren't many left in Konoha right now, so it's just the right amount to store food!"
Uchiha Rou nodded, "Mmm!" Then she lifted her toes and kissed her father on the cheek, which made Uchiha Kō extremely happy!
He also kissed Uchiha Rou on the cheek. "If you miss your father, just call him. If you encounter danger that you can't handle, just Chakra into this Flying Thunder God Kunai, and Father will arrive at the scene immediately."
"Dad doesn't ask for much, as long as our Rou Rou is safe and sound!" As he spoke, Uchiha Kō patted the back of Uchiha Rou's head.
Uchiha Rou chuckled, then waved her hand and said, "Dad, I'm off!" With that, she walked out of the villa.
Uchiha Kō smiled as he watched Uchiha Rou figure. After she disappeared from sight, he made a phone call, "Hello? Is this Sakumo? I need to ask you for a favor..."
Uchiha Itachi stood at the village entrance, hands on his hips, a gentle breeze ruffling his hair, his long whip flashing, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Hokage Villa.
"I wonder when Rou Rou will arrive. Sigh, I haven't seen her for half a day, I miss her terribly." Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless; few could fail to see through his thoughts.
Sasuke Uchiha sneered, "Brother, are you missing Rou Rou?" He didn't give his older brother any face and directly stated his thoughts.
This caused Uchiha Itachi's eyes to flicker with uncertainty. He looked at his younger brother, seemingly considering which side of his butt to spank.
Uzumaki Karin covered her mouth and chuckled. Wearing glasses, she watched the interaction between the brothers Sasuke and Itachi with great delight.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at her, his playful expression instantly vanishing. His face turned serious as he looked towards the village entrance, silently muttering to himself, "How terrifying, how terrifying! Waaah!"
Uchiha Itachi's training style can be said to have been inherited from Uchiha Kō; he had given these three people a lot of training before.
If Karin hadn't possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, an ordinary person might not have been able to persevere completely.
Therefore, in Uzumaki Karin's eyes, Uchiha Itachi was a devilish instructor, but it was precisely because she followed such an instructor that she felt extremely safe.
Because Uchiha Itachi trained with them, and his training volume was several times higher than theirs.
For example, when training them to practice horse stance, Uchiha Itachi not only practiced horse stance but also trained in Ninjutsu.
His ability and perseverance in managing to do both without neglecting either task is truly admirable.
Just as Karin was still pondering Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Rou's voice rang out.
"Mina! I'm here!" Uchiha Rou hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing standard ninja gear, just a very ordinary Anbu vest.
Her black hair swayed as she ran, making her fair skin glow faintly in the sunlight!
The words "youthful and beautiful" perfectly describe her, making Uzumaki Karin extremely envious.
Fortunately, it's not that Rou Rou likes Sasuke Uchiha. Karin glanced at the handsome kid out of the corner of her eye, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Upon seeing Uchiha Itachi Uchiha Rou's figure and hearing her voice, Itachi's aloofness vanished instantly.
He waved to Uchiha Rou: "Rou Rou, come quickly!" His voice was so gentle and bright.
Sasuke Uchiha rolled his eyes at the sight. He was speechless. Dude, you're Uchiha Itachi in Kage Level Konoha. Can you please not be so degrading?
Uchiha Itachi pretended not to see Sasuke's expression and continued smiling.
Uchiha Rou walked up to Uchiha Itachi, panting, and then bent over to breathe.
"I... I'm late," said Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Itachi shook his head. "It's not late, I only arrived recently!"
Sasuke Uchiha laughed in exasperation. He had been dawdling, wanting to sleep a little longer, but Uchiha Itachi suddenly pulled him up and ran outside. The Body Flicker Technique was used repeatedly, making Sasuke think his arm was about to break!
You arrived a full thirty minutes early, and now you're saying you just got here? Dude, I'm really having a headache over your love-struck brain!
Uzumaki Karin looked at Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Rou with envy; the two of them had such a good relationship!
I don't know when, Sasuke Uchiha I'll be able to...
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Karin blushed, her heart pounding as she looked at Sasuke Uchiha in front of her.
"Rou Rou, what's in your bag?" Uchiha Itachi asked. Uchiha Rou's eyes lit up. Itachi-nii had sharp eyes and spotted the plastic bag she was carrying at a glance!
Uchiha Rou held up the plastic bag. "Ta-da! Hokage Special Sandwich!"
