Seeing that Uchiha Seiryu accepted the apology, the atmosphere between the three of them eased.
"Is it true that what the pretty lady just said, that I can come here for free in the future?"
Mito Uzumaki, of course, wouldn't speak without reason; she nodded and said:
"It's true, but you can't come every day. Eating barbecue every day will lead to an unbalanced diet."
Uchiha Seiryu was naturally very happy that such a good thing had suddenly come his way.
However, he had a plan, and an event he had witnessed in his previous life suddenly stirred his mind.
Uchiha Seiryu initially looked conflicted, and after a long while, he reluctantly said:
"Although the unlimited meal tickets that the pretty lady promised me are very tempting, I have a suggestion that I hope you can accept."
His words piqued Mito's curiosity; she was curious about Uchiha Seiryu's proposal, so she asked:
"Children, if you have any suggestions, tell me and let me see if they can be implemented."
"That's right, although I'm not rich, I can still afford to eat barbecue Q occasionally."
“But the children in the orphanage are not as lucky as me. Why not give this opportunity to the children in the orphanage and use the money to donate resources to them?”
Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki was stunned for a moment before being deeply moved, clearly not expecting Seiryu Uchiha to make such a suggestion.
"How did you come up with this suggestion? What made you think of it?"
Although she was very touched, Mito Uzumaki was still a little puzzled as to how such a young child could have such thoughts.
Uchiha Seiryu had already thought of an explanation, and seeing Uzumaki Mito's question, he said with a sorrowful expression:
“After my parents passed away some time ago, I actually thought about going to an orphanage for a while.”
"But after I actually went to the orphanage and learned about it, I no longer had that idea."
"Life there is very bad. The lack of supplies has caused malnutrition among the children, who look extremely thin."
“There were no smiles on anyone’s face, and the whole orphanage was filled with a depressing atmosphere, which made me very uncomfortable, so I didn’t go there.”
“I was thinking that if we could get the people at the orphanage to have a meal together and have some fun, it might improve the oppressive atmosphere there and also allow the children to eat something better and get better nutrition.”
“I have experienced the pain of losing loved ones myself, so I can understand the hardships of those orphans. It is already pitiful to have no relatives, and suffering should not befall one person all the time, so I had that thought.”
Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki could no longer contain her emotions and stood up to stare at Seiryu Uchiha.
Tsunade, who was standing to the side, also looked at him in silence, feeling a little guilty for her prejudice earlier.
After a while, Mito Uzumaki, who had been watching him, walked to his side.
She patted Uchiha Seiryu's head, her face full of a kind smile.
"What a good child! I agree to your suggestion."
"And you won't be shortchanged by what I just promised you. You can come and eat here without worry. It's what you deserve."
At this moment, Mito Uzumaki was truly moved; Uchiha Seiryu's suggestion gave her a different perspective.
She originally just wanted to find a seat because there were no empty seats, and also because she thought Uchiha Seiryu was very likable.
That's why I came here to share a table and have a meal, but I never expected to meet such a unique and kind Uchiha here.
He was just a child who had just started school, and his parents had passed away, so his family's financial situation was definitely not very good.
Even in such a predicament, one can still extend kindness to strangers, something that only a very few people can do anywhere.
It is precisely the truth, goodness, and beauty of these very few people that are most touching and moving.
Even Mito Uzumaki, a woman who had lived through war, succumbed to this beautiful humanity.
If Uchiha Seiryu hadn't made that suggestion, the three of them might have become familiar strangers after the meal.
But after this proposal came out, Mito Uzumaki even considered making Seiryu Uchiha her grandson.
For a moment, Mito Uzumaki's gaze towards Seiryu Uchiha changed; the more she looked at him, the more pleasing he became.
Just then, the dishes that Uchiha Seiryu had ordered were served.
Waiters came and went, bringing dishes to the table one after another.
As more and more grilled meat was served, Mito Uzumaki and Tsunade became curious.
When the last dish was served, the entire table was covered with roasted meat.
A table laden with roasted meat exudes an enticing aroma, while a glistening fruit platter makes one want to take a bite.
Seeing so many dishes laid out before her made Tsunade swallow hard. She couldn't help but wonder if Uchiha Seiryu could finish them all, so she asked him.
"Can you finish all this? Do you want me to eat some for you? Wasting food is not a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu calmly uttered something that surprised the two of them.
"Don't get me wrong, I ordered all of these by myself. I have a big appetite, so I was able to finish them."
He then glanced at Tsunade and continued:
"But if you want to eat, you can eat together."
Tsunade blushed a little when her little secret was exposed, but seeing the food in front of her disappear quickly into Uchiha Seiryu's mouth, she put aside her embarrassment and joined the battle for food.
Mito Uzumaki was somewhat surprised to see Uchiha Seiryu rapidly devouring the food.
'Eating so much, could it be that the boy in front of me actually has Akimichi family blood?'
However, watching the two children playing around made her lose herself in thought.
Looking at the Uchiha Seiryu clan crest and the smile on Tsunade's face, she seemed to have thought of something.
After a while, Mito Uzumaki came to her senses and then said to Tsunade, who was fighting with Hoshiryu Uchiha for the grilled meat:
"Tsunade, how about I adopt this child and let him live with us?"
Mito Uzumaki's purpose in saying this was simple: she wanted to send a signal of acceptance towards the Uchiha clan by adopting an Uchiha orphan and through her actions, so that the village would no longer reject the Uchiha clan.
As for why Uchiha Seiryu was chosen, one reason is that the suggestion he made earlier made Uzumaki Mito feel that he was kind and a different kind of Uchiha.
On the other hand, they don't care what kind of talent the adopted child has. Even if he doesn't have great ninja talent, he's just raising an idle person.
It doesn't matter who the Uchiha orphan who adopted the child is; what matters most is the statement made by the adoption agency.
Therefore, choosing one that you like will better suit your taste.
Chapter 9 Mito Uzumaki Sends Adoption Invitation
Tsunade was fighting with Uchiha Seiryu for food, and she was clearly a little taken aback when she heard Mito's words.
She is still young and naturally wouldn't understand the meaning behind Mito Uzumaki's actions.
But then she thought about how she had just misunderstood Uchiha Seiryu's words and the kindness he had shown.
Then she turned her head and looked at Uchiha Seiryu's exquisite features and bright, sunny smile.
For a moment, it seemed like she had misunderstood something. Tsunade blushed and put down the grilled meat she had just fought over.
She sat back down in her seat, blushing, and murmured:
"I...I don't have any objections, but we should still ask the person involved."
Mito Uzumaki has seen it all in her life; she could tell from Tsunade's actions that Mito had misunderstood.
His words just now might have made Tsunade mistake Uchiha Seiryu for a child prostitute, which is why he reacted this way.
This made her sigh inwardly for a while, wondering if children this young nowadays really know so much.
However, she didn't expose Tsunade's little scheme, but instead looked at Uchiha Seiryu and said:
"Tsunade is right, I neglected the opinions of the person involved."
"So, would Little Starflow be willing to come here with me?"
Uchiha Seiryu was somewhat surprised by Mito Uzumaki's sudden invitation, but then realized that Mito Uzumaki's invitation was not just because she liked him, but that she might have other intentions.
Why would a group of people who had just met adopt him for no reason? This action undoubtedly has a deeper meaning.
Although Uchiha Seiryu is sometimes lazy, it doesn't mean he's stupid.
The original storyline didn't describe this period in much detail, so he can't guarantee whether there was such a lucky person before.
But now that such a good thing has fallen into his lap, he might as well just agree.
Accepting Mito Uzumaki's invitation would be entirely beneficial for her future ideals and plans.
So Mito Uzumaki's invitation was somewhat sudden, but after thinking for a while, Seiryu Uchiha gave his own answer.
"But we've only just met, and we don't even know each other's names."
Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki spoke with a hint of apology:
“It’s alright, I like you very much. It’s not too late to tell me your name now. My name is Senju Mito, and the person next to me is my granddaughter.”
What is your name?
After finishing her sentence, Mito Uzumaki looked expectantly at Seiryu Uchiha, waiting for his final answer.
"My name is Uchiha Seiryu. I'm an Uchiha, you know. Can you really adopt me?"
Seeing the slightly expectant look in Uchiha Seiryu's eyes, Uzumaki Mito smiled and nodded.
Seeing Mito Uzumaki nod, Seiryu Uchiha happily shouted to Tsunade, who was still shy.
"Great! Let's get along well from now on!"
Tsunade stared blankly at the boy in front of her, who seemed to be shining. She was still young and didn't quite understand what love was.
But seeing Uchiha Seiryu's happy smile right now makes her happy too.
"Ok!"
So Tsunade gave a big smile and a positive answer.
Mito Uzumaki, standing to the side, watched the interaction between the two children with a doting aunt's smile.
This reminded her of her relationship with Hashirama Senju, although they met through an arranged marriage and were already quite old when they met.
However, Hashirama Senju was like a silly child, always taking the initiative in everything.
Whether it was dating or marriage, it was always her initiative; Hashirama Senju was as stupid as a block of wood.
Today, Mito Uzumaki often reminisces about the past. As people get older, they often recall fond memories from their youth, and Mito Uzumaki is no exception.
