Kakashi didn't know how he got back; he just felt incredibly ashamed. Looking at the two bells in his hands, Kakashi fell into deep thought. He remembered that when he stole the bells, it wasn't like this.
Shouldn't he wait until two of the three of them grab the bell and then jump out and talk a lot of truth?
Like what? A ninja must be calm, collected, and make careful judgments! Those who break the rules of the ninja world are called trash... But those who don't value their comrades are even worse than trash!
But things started to go wrong with these three little ones.
I actually learned a harsh lesson from them! Can you believe kids these days are all this fierce?
Then he remembered what Naruto had told him.
"The bond between us is already unbreakable; we don't need your pointless tricks to test it. Instead of wasting your time, you'd be better off teaching us a couple more moves."
"Heh, so I got taught a lesson?"
Kakashi sighed.
"When will this life, where I'm worse off than the elderly and worse off than the young, ever end?"
After his initial shock, Kakashi habitually reached into his pocket for his "Icha Icha Paradise, but after searching for a while, he couldn't find a single page. Then he remembered that his "Kakashi Icha Icha Paradise" book had apparently been blasted to smithereens by those little devils earlier that day.
"Sigh, my little darling is gone, now I have to buy a new one."
As the sun set, Kakashi's figure appeared quite lonely...
It was another quiet morning at the Uchiha Clan Compound. Sasuke and Naruto, who had just finished Genin mission, arrived at the Uchiha. Sasuke complained with dissatisfaction:
"Seriously, did I graduate from the Ninja Academy just to play house?"
Okay, okay, you'll get used to it.
Naruto could only console Sasuke in this way, but Sasuke didn't care. He figured they could just send a few Shadow Clone over when they needed to carry out a mission.
"Tch, you make it sound so easy. I've already caught the cat several times already, and it's always the same cat. Can't the person who posted the task keep an eye on their own cat?"
Hearing Sasuke's complaint, Naruto was somewhat helpless. If he remembered correctly, the cat seemed to belong to a daimyo's wife, except that the daimyo's wife was rather strong, and perhaps she used too much force when holding the kitten?

Naruto thought that if it were him, he might also run away.
At this moment, Mikoto came out of the house, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Naruto and Sasuke return.
" Naruto, Sasuke, there's something I'd like to ask you."
"Aunt Mikoto, please speak freely, I will definitely help."
"Yes, Mom, you can talk, we're listening."
Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two little ones had agreed. She went into the house, pulled Itachi out, pushed him in front of Naruto and Sasuke, and gave the order:
"I've arranged a blind date for Itachi. You two go with him and make sure he doesn't get away."
"Mother, I... I don't want to go yet."
Itachi, who had been pushed out by Mikoto, spoke with a hint of helplessness.
But Mikoto rejected it without hesitation.
"No, you have to go today, whether you like it or not. You two keep a close eye on him and make sure he meets his blind date at all times."
Upon hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged glances, and then saw a kind of gossip-like flame in each other's eyes.
"Yes, mission accomplished."
"Um, Mom, is Nii-san's blind date Izumi-neechan?"
Mikoto neither confirmed nor denied the question about Sasuke, but simply urged the others to hurry up and not keep them waiting.
"Go go go, let's go!"
Sasuke, always eager for a good show, felt no hostility towards this complete stranger who had a high chance of becoming his sister-in-law; he was simply filled with curiosity.
On the way, Sasuke, like a curious child, kept asking his older brother questions.
"Nisan, who's your blind date this time?"
"Nii-san, do you know you went on a blind date? Won't Izumi-neechan know? She'll be angry and beat you up if she finds out, won't she? Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Giegie~"
Looking at Sasuke, who was so different from the original character, Naruto sighed inwardly. It was all his fault for teaching him too much knowledge that didn't belong to this world; cultural invasion was truly terrifying.
It can only be said that Sasuke is now very close to being a god, but increasingly distant from being human. Naruto is really worried that one day Sasuke will say to him, "Pressure, bro."
Itachi looked at his younger brother speechlessly. He felt that his brother was becoming less and less cute, and he talked too much.
Itachi rolled his eyes at Sasuke before finally speaking.
"I don't know. I can't refuse what my father and mother have decided."
When asked about his parents' decisions, Naruto and Sasuke scoffed, saying, "If only you really listened to your parents."
The three of them soon arrived at the village's meatball shop.
"Nii-san, isn't it inappropriate for you to come here for a blind date? If Izumi-neechan finds out, you're dead meat!"
Itachi didn't say anything, but just braced himself and went inside.
"Shall we go in and take a look?"
Watching Itachi go in like he was going to his execution, Sasuke curious and immediately started brainstorming ideas, urging Naruto to do something naughty with him.
Naruto was also curious about Itachi's blind date. After all, those who ship them had Kisame Hoshigaki as Itachi's official partner, and Uchiha Izumi as another. He never expected that Itachi would be on a blind date today.
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
The two sneaked in from the back and saw Itachi sitting opposite a girl, but from their angle, they couldn't see who she was.
However, Naruto was somewhat surprised by Naruto's expression at this moment.
What kind of expression is that?
He never expected that Itachi, who could Itachi without breaking a sweat and slaughter an entire clan without batting an eye, would react like this.
Seeing Itachi so cautiously, barely daring to breathe, and sometimes even lowering his head to avoid looking at the person opposite him, not daring to utter a sound, it was hard to tell if it was because he was shy.
" Uchiha Sasuke, when did your older brother get like this?"
"I don't know either, this is the first time I've ever seen this."
Now the two were even more curious about who was sitting opposite Itachi, that could have made Itachi like this.
Seemingly noticing the two, Itachi frowned and looked in their direction, his eyes carrying a warning.
But the person opposite Itachi seemed to notice something was wrong with Itachi, turned around, and saw Sasuke and Naruto. He smiled and casually played with his hair.
"Sister Quan?"
Sasuke immediately recognized the person's identity. He was both surprised and delighted because Uchiha Izumi was really good to his brother. In Naruto's words, his brother was getting a good deal.
Naruto's pupils widened, a realization dawning on him. It really was Uchiha Izumi! He hadn't expected it at all. Because of him, these two had ended up together by some strange twist of fate... Interesting, truly interesting...
