Naruto: First Love

Chapter 3 Itachi Nissan

"Itachi, call your sister to eat." Uchiha Mikoto came out of the kitchen and saw Itachi kneeling beside the table. Kokoro was not there, so she gave Itachi an order.

Itachi nodded and walked outside.

He just saw Xinzi in the yard, and as expected, she was still there.

Sure enough, when I went out, Xinzi was still practicing shuriken in the yard.

Very hardworking.

"time to eat."

Hearing Itachi's voice, Xinzi turned around and saw him standing in the corridor, always cold and aloof.

Xinzi nodded and walked in.

Itachi almost never called her by her name, and only on rare occasions would he call her Kokoro.

"Xinzi, are you happy here?" Uchiha Mikoto asked gently while picking up some food for Xinzi.

Xinzi put the dish in front of her into Itachi's bowl and squinted her eyes, "Itachi Ni-san, eat."

Uchiha Mikoto looked very happy and said, "Itachi, thank you, sister."

Itachi is only less than ten days older than Xinzi, but Xinzi is bigger than Itachi. If you don’t know their ages, you would think that Xinzi is bigger than Itachi.

"Thank you." Itachi was stunned for a moment, but still thanked him obediently.

"Your mother is back and should be here this afternoon. You will live with Minako from now on." In fact, Uchiha Mikoto didn't even know who Minako was.

However, Fengjian Yoyuki entrusted Xinzi to her and also mentioned that Uchiha Minako was Xinzi's mother.

Mikoto and Yexue are good friends. Yexue has to carry out a mission, but Uchiha Mikoto is not needed because Uchiha Fugaku can support her.

Hearing this, Itachi raised his head and glanced at Xinzi unexpectedly. Coincidentally, Xinzi also looked up and looked at Itachi.

Their eyes met for just a moment and then separated.

"Come and visit us often in the future." Itachi said at Uchiha Mikoto's suggestion before leaving.

Koko rushed forward and hugged Itachi tightly, "I will!"

Itachi's body visibly stiffened.

He is just being polite, okay? You are so enthusiastic that he feels embarrassed.

But Xinzi is not as smart as Itachi, nor as precocious as Itachi. Apart from having been on the battlefield and witnessing the cruelty of war, she has nothing particularly outstanding. Aunt Yexue told her to be nicer to Itachi, so she would naturally be nicer to him. A hug shows more intimacy, doesn't it?

"Xinzi, let's go." Uchiha Minako urged her at the door.

Only then did Xinzi follow.

…………

Because she was a married woman of the Uchiha clan and not a direct descendant, Uchiha Minako lived in the most remote alley of the Uchiha clan, which was far away from the main family.

Although it's not as good as Itachi's home, it's better than where they lived at the border.

After returning to the Uchiha clan, Minako had an easier life than when she was at the border. She received subsidies from the Uchiha clan and Konoha, but Uchiha Minako was not satisfied with this. She wanted to give Kokoto a better life, so she did not give up her identity as a ninja.

She goes on missions from time to time, and when she is on a mission, Xinzi is alone at home.

Minako was worried about her going out alone, so she told her not to leave the house, at least not to leave the Uchiha clan territory.

However, Xinzi often ran away. The Uchiha family had a mountain behind it, which was used for training. Xinzi ran directly to the Konoha Village along the path left by the training.

He was caught by Fengjian Yexue the first time.

Fengjian Yexue warned her that if she went out, it would be best not to wear clothes with the Uchiha clan emblem printed on them, and not to let people know that she was a member of the Uchiha clan, otherwise there would be no difference between being outside and being in the Uchiha clan territory.

It was only later that I found out that the Uchiha clan was not that popular outside. They were wary of the Uchiha clan, in awe of the Uchiha clan, and felt that the Uchiha clan was difficult to get close to. As long as they were members of the Uchiha clan, they would rarely take the initiative to talk to them.

After that, Xinzi no longer went out casually.

It was also after that that Fengjian Yexue became her teacher.

In addition to the basic ninjutsu, Feng Jian Ye Xue taught her the wind escape technique. She only learned the ninjutsu of "Wind Wings", and she only learned the hand seals but could not use them.

In addition, Xinzi’s favorite thing is the stories that Fengjian Yexue told her.

The yellow-haired boy, who is at the bottom of the class, possesses the strongest tailed beast named Kurama and is called a monster by the villagers.

At the age of 12, he graduated from the Ninja School and was called a Genin. He became friends with the orphan of the Uchiha family and a cute little girl, and grew up under the guidance of a white-haired Jonin...

The orphan of the Uchiha family, the young man who was filled with hatred, was bent on revenge, abandoned his ties, and walked towards darkness...

It sounds like the same story as the one about the man who exterminated his entire clan before.

……

The fourth Hokage ascended the throne, his name was Minato Namikaze, he was a companion of Teacher Ye Xue, the very gentle man he met when he first came back.

Teacher Ye Xue always mentions Minato Namikaze, and his words are full of praise.

When she heard the story about the death of the man who wiped out the clan, Teacher Ye Xue never came again and just left her at Itachi's house.

At that time, there was already a new person in Itachi's family, a boy born in July, Uchiha Sasuke.

Itachi seemed to like Sasuke very much. When he hugged Sasuke, his eyes were full of smiles.

It was then that Xinzi felt that Itachi, who inherited Uchiha Mikoto's appearance, might have good genes, and he looked very beautiful when he smiled.

It was a pity that he didn't smile at her. She felt a little lost and began to envy the newly born Uchiha Sasuke.

"Xinzi likes Sasuke very much." Seeing Xinzi staring at Itachi and Sasuke, Uchiha Mikoto smiled.

Xinzi was stunned for a moment. How could she tell that he liked Sasuke? He obviously didn't like him, okay? How could she be happy when such a beautiful Itachi was taken away by Sasuke?

But she couldn't admit that she didn't like Sasuke, so Xinzi had to suppress her disgust a little, pinched Sasuke's right hand, and forced a smile, "Ah, haha, yes, Sasuke, you're very cute."

"Wow~"

Perhaps because he was disgusted by her lying, Sasuke burst into tears.

Uchiha Mikoto quickly took Sasuke from Itachi's arms, "Oh, he's hungry."

Xinzi just felt that her self-esteem was hurt, and she tried to get close to Sasuke reluctantly, but Sasuke actually hated her and cried!

Itachi looked at his younger brother who had calmed down in his mother's arms, then looked at the little girl squatting on the ground drawing circles, and felt that this girl who was a head taller than him seemed to need comfort more.

He squatted in front of Kokoro and patted her shoulder somewhat stiffly, "Sasuke... that's it."

Xinzi's two braids stood up, and she raised her head, looking at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Itachi: "..."

He was just comforting you, was there any need to take it so seriously?

Finally, he took out a string of three-colored balls from the bag on the table and handed them over, "I apologize on behalf of Sasuke."

"Why are you apologizing for him?" Xinzi curled her lips, looked at the tempting three-color meatballs, and took it.

One of my mother's favorite foods, she doesn't really like it because she thinks it's too sweet. But my mother said that it's because life is too bitter, so she eats something sweet to balance it out.
