Someone who had spent his entire life on edge, living amid warfare from beginning to end, really could let himself go once he finally relaxed.
Before he knew it, Izuna had been swept along by Shingetsu, with not a trace of reluctance left on his face.
He was even thoroughly enjoying himself as Shingetsu led him around, playing all over Konoha.
To Shingetsu, Konoha really had little worth doing. After all, what hadn't she seen? But for Izuna, it was entirely different. Everything here was so fresh and fascinating.
Thinking about it that way, how much fun had he missed these past few days by burying himself in government affairs?!
After she took him to a bookstore, he casually flipped through gossip magazines and comic books, only to become engrossed. Then he played several rounds of cards with Shingetsu, enjoying himself immensely whether he won or lost.
Now, he even had a wonderful time riding a swing!
And so, an exceedingly amusing scene unfolded in a park packed with little kids.
"Push me higher! Hahahaha!"
An Uchiha adult sat on a swing, his body swaying with its rise and fall. Though he wasn't particularly burly, he still filled the children's swing to capacity.
Meanwhile, Shingetsu, the actual child, stood behind him, pushing hard to send the swing higher and higher.
