"Teacher, I need to take some time off."
Uchiha Itachi scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
He had never missed training before. This was his first time asking his teacher for leave.
"How many days?"
Uchiha Jin raised an eyebrow. His punching bag wanted time off.
Then who would he beat up when he was in a bad mood?
Hopefully it would not be too long, or he would have nowhere to work off his itching fists.
"Three days."
Uchiha Itachi explained, "My mother is due to give birth in the next few days. I plan to go home and look after her."
Although ninja had ways to find out in advance whether an unborn child was a boy or a girl, such as the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan.
Uchiha Fugaku had not done so.
In his eyes, whether it was a boy or a girl, it was still his and his wife's child.
So both father and son had been looking forward to it lately.
"Tsk."
Uchiha Jin clicked his tongue at that.
Ever since Uchiha Mikoto became pregnant, Uchiha Fugaku had washed his hands of work and left him to serve as acting Captain Commander.
Now even his punching bag wanted to take leave to go home and keep his mother company.
What a loving family!
Uchiha Itachi, that wonderfully filial son, was about to awaken his little-brother obsession.
"I'm sure you'll be a good older brother."
Uchiha Jin raised a hand and patted Itachi on the shoulder.
There really was no faulting Weasel's treatment of his little brother.
He had killed every other clan member but spared Uchiha Sasuke, and left a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan as his inheritance.
He had even helped deal with Orochimaru before dying.
An unquestionably good older brother!
