No Matter Your Age, Hitting Children Is Wrong

The burly, well-built man held a small kitten, creating a stark contrast that was surprisingly endearing. His face looked fierce as he reached out and grabbed the little girl's arm. "You're not getting away this time! Inuzuka Hana!"

"But I saved its life!" the little girl argued, struggling to break free, but the difference in their strength was too great.

"Didn't you tell me you could heal it completely? That's why I let you treat it!"

Inuzuka Hana grew a little anxious, standing on tiptoe to gesture at the height. "It fell from such a high place, and it's not a ninja cat, it's bound to have some injuries..."

"...No running away, pay up!"

"I already apologized to you and Mag at the last check-up, and I already gave you fifty thousand ryo. That was all the money I had..." The little girl, with tears welling up, gritted her teeth, refusing to let them fall.

"How could that possibly be enough compensation! Mag is my life!"

Uchiha Itachi and the crow in his arms tilted their heads simultaneously. The situation was clear...

An innocent little veterinarian saved a cat's life, only to be extorted by the cat's owner. She even paid fifty thousand ryo. Anyone could see she was being taken advantage of!

"Caw? Caw!"

Since that cat was his life... then he should send both the cat and its owner away. Kill them and help others, what a good deed!

Uchiha Itachi's expression darkened. "Beiyuan..."

That little veterinarian was a kind person... and she sounded like a skilled doctor. He still needed her to help Beiyuan with its treatment!

"Let her go!" Uchiha Itachi stepped forward, grabbing the big man's arm with one hand. "She did nothing wrong. Don't be unreasonable with someone's kindness..."

"Why are you meddling, brat?"

"Caw!" Beiyuan urged from the air. It was tired today and didn't want to fly...

This situation definitely called for action. No more lecturing... Did he really think all ninjas in the world were like Nagato! Moreover, with your skill, you'll only be able to trick that brat Sasuke in the future...

Uchiha Itachi looked at the man's still furious face and sighed inwardly. He flew up and kicked the man in the face, sending him and the cat flying!

People around saw a fight breaking out. Some applauded, while others followed the rules and called the Konoha Police Force...

"Someone's fighting again..." The police force members arrived with troubled expressions. After observing the scene, they broke into admiring smiles. "As expected of the Captain's son!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Itachi explained, "He was trying to extort a little girl, and I happened to come across it..."

"Oh, oh, I understand! We'll lock him up right away!" Without waiting for Itachi to finish, the police force members apprehended the man lying on the ground and took him away.

They could have handled the situation justly, but instead, they put on a show of backing someone up... It wasn't without reason that the Police Force was unpopular in the village.

"Thank you so much! This person always chases after me... he's so troublesome!" Inuzuka Hana ran over to express her gratitude. She looked at Beiyuan, who had flown into Uchiha Itachi's arms, and said, "This crow is so fierce, how could it kill someone?"

"It was just joking..." Uchiha Itachi patted the crow's wings and explained. Then, he looked at the little girl in surprise. "You can understand Beiyuan?"

Inuzuka Hana covered her mouth and giggled, narrowing her eyes and waving her hand. "Because I'm a veterinarian... Phew... Luckily, the syringe didn't break just now..."

"Caw!"

Beiyuan soared into the air. She's a little crazy, don't listen to her!

Uchiha Itachi opened his mouth and gave her a compliment. "Beiyuan, she's a good person..."

"Oh, your crow is really interesting!"

"It's my first friend... Never mind, it seems like it doesn't want an injection. Are there any other ways?" Uchiha Itachi looked helplessly at the crow flying in mid-air and turned to the little girl.

Inuzuka Hana really had some skills. She actually knew about psychological therapy. "Then let's try doing something to make it happy, maybe that will calm its mood."

Beiyuan quickly landed on Itachi's shoulder, looked at the little girl, and nodded. "Caw!"

You're such a good person...

"Thank you for the compliment..." Inuzuka Hana understood its words and seriously bowed to the crow. She respected all animals.

Ichiraku Ramen.

"So special! It's actually a crow that likes ramen!"

"Heh heh, Itachi-bro's crow is a regular customer here!" Uncle Teuchi enthusiastically served a bowl of chashu ramen and greeted the customers.

"Itachi? Uchiha Itachi?" Inuzuka Hana seemed to have just realized, muttering, "People in the village often talk about you!"

The young boy casually took the ramen from Uncle Teuchi, pushed it in front of Beiyuan, and answered the little girl's words, "Very often?"

Inuzuka Hana rested her chin on her finger and nodded without hesitation. "It's quite frequent, I'd say. He's quite famous in the village! The genius Uchiha, the Sharingan at five years old, and all that..."

"Many of my playmates have mentioned him too. A genius contemporary who doesn't like to play with others, often seen running around with a red-eyed crow, and sometimes holding a child..."

"In short, he's eccentric..."

The little girl chattered on, delivering her verdict on Uchiha Itachi.

"Itachi-bro isn't strange at all..." Uncle Teuchi watched the two children from the side, finding it very amusing. He suddenly spoke up to explain, "The ramen on our wall, the one we introduced, was actually Itachi-bro's suggestion!"

The new project launched by Ichiraku Ramen was highly praised in Konoha Village, significantly easing the burden for many broken families and the village's orphanage.

"Wow! Really?"

"Actually, it was Beiyuan's suggestion!" Uchiha Itachi denied Uncle Teuchi's words.

Inuzuka Hana tried to sneakily touch Beiyuan's wing, but the crow noticed and she quickly withdrew her hand. "...I'm so envious of you! Unfortunately, my family can only keep dogs... The last time I secretly brought home an injured little bird, Kuromaru ran away from home. My mom and I looked for it for a long time..."

"……"

Uchiha Itachi really wanted to say something… after all, raising a younger brother could even make a crow run away from home. Should he mention it?

"Hahaha, there was this one time that fierce crow ran away from home too! Because it lost an argument! I heard about it!"

The fierce young girl, Ayame, suddenly jumped out and said what Uchiha Itachi had been thinking, although the content was quite different.

"Did you bring some animal home too? If new members appear, they always tend to quarrel… sigh…" Inuzuka Hana sat on her chair, shaking her head. She was also worried about this issue.

"Caw!" The crow, holding a noodle in its beak, didn't delay in badmouthing Sasuke. That little brat at home… he'd have to leave sooner or later!

"You're still raising it?" After hearing the crow's words, Inuzuka Hana's focus seemed to be a bit off. "Itachi-kun, how do you manage? Is the other one too young?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at the young girl's inquisitive face but had to break her illusion. "No… the one who often argues with Beiyuan is my brother, Sasuke… Do you have any solutions?"

"…So that's how it is!"

The young veterinarian slowly sat up straighter, recalling the situation at her own home. "I also have a younger brother at home. His name is Inuzuka Kiba, and he's not even six months old yet! He gets along well with Kuromaru, but occasionally he'll throw a tantrum and upset Kuromaru…"

Uchiha Itachi waited for her to continue, nodding his head slightly with an expectant look… This was something his family had wanted to resolve for a long time!

Inuzuka Hana continued, "Mom always scolds him, and then tells me that even when he's in swaddling clothes, you can't relax the education of a young man!"

"Caw!"

The crow was frantically hinting from the side…

This young veterinarian's medical skills were very high, and what she said made a lot of sense…

Because the second update is quite cute… I'm posting it ear
