Sasuke Is Born

Qingfeng had just gotten up and opened the front door when he saw Itachi, whom he had not seen in a long time.

For him to come all this way, Qingfeng hoped it was not bad news.

"Itachi, have you eaten breakfast? Want to get some Three-Color Dumplings together?"

"Qingfeng, I have a younger brother. Tomorrow, I'm inviting everyone in the clan who has awakened the Sharingan to a gathering. I came specifically to notify you. Be sure to arrive on time tomorrow."

Sure enough, it was not good news. Uchiha Sasuke had been born, and Naruto's birth was not far off either.

Uchiha Qingfeng waved a hand. "Alright, alright, I got it. I'll definitely be there on time tomorrow."

Seeing the delighted smile on Itachi's face, Qingfeng wondered if he could not wait to return home and take care of Sasuke.

After tidying up a little, Qingfeng headed out. Two skewers of Three-Color Dumplings for breakfast were quick and convenient, and had gradually become a habit.

Did the Ninja World have Murphy's Law too? Zhou You fell into thought as he watched Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yugao lining up to buy dumplings.

He had been eating dumplings here for a long time and was even familiar with the proprietress, yet he had never seen this best-friend duo even once. He had only met them two days ago, but then, to his surprise, he started running into them everywhere.

Whether he went out for ramen or visited a shop to buy something, he ran into them. Now he could not even eat dumplings for breakfast without seeing them.

Qingfeng truly did not want to provoke that Mushroom Head. He had said a few extra words last time, and the Pharmacy's glass window was already gone. There was no point getting angry with a child.

So whenever Qingfeng saw the best-friend duo now, he would avoid them. But skipping breakfast was going a little too far.

The glass was gone anyway, so Qingfeng still stood behind them and joined the line.

Anko and Yugao noticed Qingfeng as well. To get back at him, Anko had spent the last two days figuring out Qingfeng's routine.

It could only be said that whenever two people happened to meet, one side had usually planned it for a long time. The foolish Qingfeng could only blame it on Murphy's Law.

"Well, if it isn't the Divine Doctor. You came for breakfast too? Does a Divine Doctor even need to eat?"

Perhaps because they had discovered over the past two days that Qingfeng was rather "easy to bully," even Uzuki Yugao chimed in, "Uchiha Qingfeng is an immortal Veterinarian."

It was no wonder the two of them were best friends. They definitely had plenty in common.

In public, it was difficult for Uchiha Qingfeng to argue with two little girls without caring about his dignity.

"Veterinarian, why aren't you talking? Did you go mute? Where's that arrogance from two days ago?"

"Is this all you've got?"

"How's the glass at your house?"

There was a saying: women and petty men were the hardest to deal with.

Qingfeng could no longer stand the two brats taking turns mocking him.

They had completely chosen to forget that Qingfeng was their pets' lifesaver.

The people nearby all turned to look. Seeing a little boy being attacked by two little girls, they even smiled.

Qingfeng guessed that they might have been reminded of their lost youth.

"Can a Divine Doctor go mute too? Can't you even cure your own muteness?"

"A Divine Doctor at this level? No, a Veterinarian at this level?"

By the end, even the dumpling shop proprietress had stopped working to take a few looks. She found that both sides were loyal customers of the Dumpling Shop.

She had initially wanted to mediate, but decided not to take either side. It was a matter between children; they should handle it themselves.

Qingfeng was so embarrassed that his toes were practically digging out a three-bedroom apartment, yet the two girls were still going on and on.

Three women made five hundred ducks. These two alone were enough.

Could he not just stop eating the dumplings?

Uchiha Qingfeng regretted daring to line up after seeing them. He left directly and went to do his daily warm-up.

After shaking off those two best friends, even the birdsong in the early morning sounded much sweeter than usual.

After Qingfeng left, the Dumpling Shop returned to normal. Once Anko and Yugao bought their dumplings, they decided to go find Qingfeng again.

They wanted to see if they could mock him a little more. Although they had already vented all their previous resentment, it was not too much to collect a little interest, was it?

They had already learned that after eating dumplings, this Veterinarian would go play in the back mountains. This time, they followed him there.

What they saw was Qingfeng in the middle of his hundred-lap warm-up.

When he passed by on the first lap, Anko did not forget to mock him. "Is this all?"

But as Qingfeng grew faster and ran more and more laps, she found herself unable to say another taunt.

Seeing someone their age work so hard and accomplish something they could not, they felt a little jealous, but could no longer bring themselves to keep mocking him.

The best-friend duo stared in stunned silence as Qingfeng effortlessly completed a hundred laps. He was slightly out of breath, but not a single drop of sweat appeared after he finished.

Only Chunin could avoid sweating during intense exercise, right? Anko felt somewhat discouraged.

So he was not only a highly skilled Veterinarian, but also a powerful Ninja. Against an ordinary person as weak, pitiful, and helpless as her, he probably would not even need a second move.

This was the perfect desolate wilderness with no outsiders around. He had to take this chance to teach that reckless Anko a lesson.

"I'm telling you, Mushroom Head, if you keep pestering me, I really won't be polite anymore."

"Mushroom Head? You still dare give me a nickname? Your windows will be gone tonight."

"The ones that someone smashed last time still haven't been repaired..."

Uzuki Yugao handed her remaining skewer of Three-Color Dumplings to Uchiha Qingfeng.

Were they trying to turn hostility into friendship? Since they had surrendered first, he would reluctantly accept it.

Qingfeng took the Three-Color Dumplings from Yugao. He had not eaten breakfast that morning, so he immediately opened his mouth and ate one.

Anko still found Uchiha Qingfeng's face utterly irritating. It would be another hundred years before they became friends, and her tone remained as sarcastic as ever.

"Ah, Yugao, there's nothing wrong with these dumplings, right?"

"They aren't poisoned, are they?"

"He's a Divine Doctor. Even if they are poisoned, it'll be fine."

"Though he's a Veterinarian, he should still be alright, right?"

With Mitarashi Anko chattering and nagging nonstop, the dumpling in Uchiha Qingfeng's mouth suddenly did not taste so good anymore.

He had already eaten one. One dumpling or a whole skewer made little difference. Besides, a little girl only knew how to talk big; at most, she would secretly smash a window at night.

Qingfeng truly did not want to keep arguing with her. Brats like this were simply too troublesome.

"Then how about this, Mushroom Head? I apologize to you. I'm sorry about what happened before. Let's stop bothering each other and go our separate ways, alright?"

"You're still calling me Mushroom Head? And you're saying we bother you?"

"Alright, alright, Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yugao, let's part ways here, alright?"

"No. You should be more practical and compensate us. And you need to pay for the dumplings in your hand too!!"

This Mushroom Head was nothing but stubborn all over.

Qingfeng had said he would treat their pets for free, but they had not appreciated it then. Now they wanted compensation again. Their allowance had probably all run out.

He took out that little bit of money, added the cost of a serving of dumplings, and handed it to the sulking Mushroom Head.

"Here. Your compensation."
