Teacher, I Want to Change My Surname to Uchiha!
June, the 38th year of Konoha.
The intense yet gentle summer sun bathed the entire Konoha.
The streets were clean and tidy, with lush trees providing ample shade. Villagers and ninjas strolled leisurely, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere throughout the village.
On the bustling street, two striking figures walked side by side.
Tsunade was youthful and beautiful, with skin as white as snow and a bright and radiant face. Her casual clothes accentuated her slender figure, and every move she made exuded a dashing and heroic air. Beside her Kagami Uchiha wore a simple robe, with an upright posture and outstanding temperament. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his gentle and deep eyes and demeanor were unparalleled.
The two walked side by side down the village street, a handsome couple, attracting many onlookers.
The two strolled casually along the way. Tsunade head to look at the man beside her, whose expression was calm but whose eyes held a hint of melancholy, and couldn't help but speak softly:
"Big Brother Kagami, you seem to have something on your mind lately. What's wrong? Can you tell me?"
"Right now, Hiruzen- sensei and Danzo are at their peak in the village, and Sakumo and the others have also grown up. Why are you still so worried? People are very concerned about you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade looked at him with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Sensing the worry of the beautiful woman beside him, Kagami Uchiha snapped out of his reverie, the melancholy in his eyes dissipating, replaced by a gentle smile. He said softly, "Haha, don't worry, Little Tsuna, I'm fine."
His tone was gentle, yet reassuring. "Nothing can defeat me. All you need to do is live your life well and do what you want to do. I'll take care of everything!"
Upon hearing these words, Tsunade's expression froze slightly, and she pouted gently.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Hurry up and pick out some souvenirs. We'll go to Sakumo's house for dinner later. Yukihō has been talking about you the whole time." Kagami Uchiha reached out and smoothed Tsunade's brow, comforting her.
Upon hearing Kagami Uchiha mention Yukihō, Tsunade's brows instantly relaxed, and she obediently turned to walk towards the nearby shop to choose a gift.
Before long, the two finished choosing their gifts and headed straight for the Hatake Clan.
The Hatake Clan's courtyard wasn't located in the center of the village; a few green plants grew in front of the gate, giving it an elegant and quaint appearance. Yukihō had been waiting for the two of them at the gate for a long time. Upon seeing them, Yukihō quickly came over, a smile on her face, "Sensei, Tsunade, you've finally arrived."
Hearing the conversation at the door, Hatake Sakumo inside the house, immediately came out. Dressed in a neat kimono, with a calm and gentle demeanor, he respectfully bowed to Kagami Uchiha: "Teacher, you've arrived."
He then nodded slightly to Tsunade, who was standing next to Kagami Uchiha, to show his welcome.
Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha waved his hand and said gently, "No need for formalities, please go in. Where is Little Kakashi?"
Upon hearing this, Sakumo called out into the courtyard, "Kakashi, come out quickly, your master is here."
Before long, two-year-old Little Kakashi came running up, stumbling and staggering, and rushed straight to Kagami Uchiha, sweetly saying, "Master! You're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
"Um, Little Kakashi, I'm so sorry, Master Kakashi is too busy, hahaha."
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone followed Yukihō into the house. Kagami Uchiha sat on the sofa, holding Kakashi in his arms, and the two were interacting. Tsunade went into the kitchen to help Yukihō. Sakumo watched this scene quietly from the side, his expression gentle.
For a moment, the entire Hatake Clan's house was filled with the warm and cozy atmosphere of an ordinary family, a beautiful scene of peaceful and idyllic life.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
As the atmosphere at the dinner table became more relaxed and warm, Yukihō first looked at Kagami Uchiha, who sat calmly in the main seat, and then at Tsunade beside her, whose cheeks were slightly flushed. Finally, she mustered up her courage and spoke earnestly, "Sensei, there's something on my mind that I've always wanted to say, and today I really have to get it off my chest."
Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha looked at him gently and nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.
Seeing this, Yukihō put down her chopsticks, her expression serious, her eyes filled with sincerity. "Teacher, you and Miss Tsunade have been together for many years, and we have all witnessed your feelings for each other." She glanced at Tsunade and continued, "Now, Miss Tsunade is not young anymore. Since you two are so in love, as the man, you should at least give Miss Tsunade an explanation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head, her fingers gently clutching the hem of her clothes, filled with shyness.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Kagami Uchiha.
Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha's gaze swept over everyone, then landed on Tsunade. His expression was solemn as he solemnly said, "Don't worry, Tsunade, I'm definitely not the kind of bastard who would deceive a woman's feelings."
"Alright, once the situation has stabilized for a while longer, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
A simple sentence, spoken by Kagami Uchiha, carried immense weight.
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head even further, her eyes filled with sweetness and anticipation.
Just then, a soft, childlike voice suddenly rang out.
"Master... Master... hug me."
Two-year-old Little Kakashi wobbled and stretched out his little hand, gazing longingly at Kagami Uchiha. His childish voice and appearance were exceptionally endearing.
Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha's eyes softened even more, and he gently reached out to hug the little Kakashi.
The little one nestled obediently against his shoulder, looking around at the people with a bewildered expression.
Hatake Sakumo watched this scene quietly from the side, his eyes filled with emotion as Yukihō, Kakashi, and his beloved teacher.
With this thought in mind, Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath, his expression suddenly becoming extremely solemn.
"Teacher."
He looked up at Kagami Uchiha, his tone sincere and firm.
"Kakashi is two years old now, safe and healthy. Today, I have a wish that I've kept for many years, and I want to talk to you about it and discuss it with you."
Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha, holding Little Kakashi in his arms, gently raised his eyes, his expression calm. "Just speak your mind; we've been master and disciple for many years, why be so reserved and secretive?"
Hatake Sakumo nodded emphatically, his eyes extremely serious, and spoke each word solemnly:
"Teacher, I want to change my name."
Kagami Uchiha was slightly taken aback.
"Change your name? Change it to what?"
The next moment, Hatake Sakumo uttered a sentence that silenced the entire room and shocked Kagami Uchiha.
I want to change my surname to Uchiha.
I want to be your son.
Boom! Those two short sentences struck Kagami Uchiha's ears, sending a jolt through him and leaving his mind blank for a moment.
An overwhelming sense of shock surged within him: What the hell is going on?!
The legendary Konoha's White Fang of Konoha, renowned throughout the Shinobi World, actually... actually wants to change his surname to Uchiha and become my son?
Holy crap!
Is today April Fool's Day...?
This is simply unbelievable...
For a moment, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Hatake Sakumo, his gaze intense and unwavering as he looked at him.
After a long silence, Kagami Uchiha gently exhaled, his expression both gentle and solemn, and slowly began to speak.
"Sakumo."
"You're not allowed to say that again."
Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo froze, a look of disappointment instantly welling up in his eyes.
But the next second, Kagami Uchiha's gentle yet profound words rang out again, striking deep into his heart.
"You are you, Hatake Sakumo. You are the legendary Konoha's White Fang of Konoha, renowned throughout the land; you have never been anyone's subordinate, nor do you need to change your name or become anyone's son."
"To be honest, from the day you became my disciple at the age of ten, in my heart, Kagami Uchiha, you have long been my child."
"The bond between teacher and student is like that between father and son; this relationship has never been faked, nor has it ever changed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hatake Sakumo's eyes instantly turned red. The emotions he had been holding back for years finally broke down, his throat choked, and hot tears streamed down his face.
Then, he bowed deeply, his voice hoarse and trembling, filled with boundless emotion and piety.
"Thank you... thank you... Father!"
That cry of "Father!" was so heartfelt that Yukihō, standing to the side, was already in tears. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her heart filled with warmth and emotion.
As her bedmate, how could she not know Sakumo's deep affection for his teacher, the Lord Hokage?
At this moment, she quickly pulled over the still clueless Little Kakashi and gently taught him.
"Kakashi, quick, stop calling me 'Master' and call me 'Grandpa'!"
Hearing this, Little Kakashi seemed to understand, but not quite. He opened his big eyes and looked at Kagami Uchiha, who was gently holding him, and called out in a soft, sweet voice:
"Chicken sauce!"
As that soft, sweet child's voice rang out.
In an instant, the entire room was filled with warmth and coziness.
Only Tsunade's expression was slightly complicated: This... I'm not even married yet, and I'm already a grandmother?
