Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 509 Wedding Preparations

Konoha, the Uchiha headquarters.

In a two-story building with an exquisite exterior, Kushina, dressed casually at home, had just served the breakfast she had prepared.

A lively voice then entered my ears.

"Mom, when is the Perverted Sage coming back to Konoha? I'm still waiting for him to teach me his ultimate technique."

After washing up, Naruto shifted uncomfortably in his chair, seemingly not wanting to waste any more time at the dining table.

However, the thought of his mother's terrifying reaction after he did this made him dejected and stay put.

"You should call him Grandpa Jiraiya~"

Her child was extremely attached to Jiraiya, which gave her a huge headache. Thinking about Jiraiya's past behavior, she was relieved that he had been punished and toned it down considerably over the years; otherwise, she really couldn't stand it.

After giving a light but firm reprimand, Kushina looked at the little girl beside her and asked with a gentle expression.

"Karin, has Naruto gotten into any trouble at school lately?"

Compared to her troublesome son, Karin gave her more peace of mind.

"No, Naruto has been training his chakra control lately and hasn't had time to compete with Sasuke."

Pushing up her glasses, Karin recounted Naruto's recent performance at school in detail.

"That's good!"

What bothers her most is her son, who's always competing with Sasuke, and he always seems to develop some strange...

"Naruto, don't hang out with Jiraiya-sensei too much. You're still young, and you have a lot to do..."

As she was talking, Kushina shut up.

Naruto is too young; it's not appropriate to say anything explicit to him at such a young age.

"If I find out that you're reading some random books or going to places you shouldn't be,..."

As she spoke, Kushina gave Naruto a gentle smile, then clenched her rather delicate little fists and waved them in front of him.

"You know the consequences!"

"I...I understand~"

Seeing his mother's horrified expression, Naruto almost choked on the milk he had just drunk.

Naruto swallowed hard, grabbed the breakfast on the table, and stuffed it into his stomach in a few bites.

"I'm...out the door!"

With a mouthful of food still in his mouth, Naruto's tone was somewhat unclear and disbelieving, but he couldn't wait to take today's graduation exam.

Seeing the open window by the door, Naruto felt a little uneasy, but feeling the 'gentle' gaze behind him, he obediently walked through the main door.

"Hmph~"

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw a child about his age walking past his house with an arrogant expression.

"What the hell, so arrogant!"

Naruto mentally scoffed, then quickly caught up with the boy, looking at him with ill intent.

Meanwhile, at the dining table, the girl who was leisurely eating her breakfast seemed to sense something and finished her milk in one gulp.

"Aunt Kushina, I've finished eating, I'm going to school now~"

"Sigh! I haven't eaten much at all."

Watching Karin's retreating figure, Kushina glanced at the remaining food on the table and frowned.

"I'm on a diet recently, so I can't eat too much for breakfast."

After offering a casual explanation, Kaoru rushed off towards the gate.

As soon as she stepped outside, Karin's eyes lit up as she gazed into the distance at the figure she had longed for day and night. More than breakfast, it was that gentle figure that captured her attention.

"Wow, the children have all grown up so well!"

Kushina turned her gaze away from Karin and looked at the two photos on the cabinet, muttering to herself with some emotion.

Minato, with his blond hair, and Minako, with her red hair, gave her a warm smile that seemed to warm her heart.

Karin's mother, Minako, seemed to have let go of a heavy burden after settling in Konoha, and did not last long before passing away.

Even Tsunade, known as a medical genius, was helpless. She ultimately struggled in her sickbed for half a month, leaving Karin in Kushina's care.

"Senior Bai, are you going to the hospital? You're so diligent~"

Karin, with her girlish demeanor, looked at Haku slowly approaching, appearing incredibly shy, completely lacking the unrestrained nature of a woman from the Whirlpool.

"It's Karin! Today is graduation day, good luck!"

"Yes! I also plan to become a medical ninja like you, senior, and work at Konoha Hospital. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"

As she spoke, Karin secretly glanced at the handsome young man with a gentle expression. He seemed to be lost in some kind of fantasy, standing there with a lovesick look on his face.

"Karin...Karin?"

Awakened by Shiro, Karin's eyelashes trembled as she met his pure eyes, becoming somewhat shy.

"No...nothing, I was just thinking about graduation, wondering if I'll pass the exams."

Compared to her classmate Sasuke, she preferred Haku's aura. For this reason, she chose to study medical ninjutsu, hoping that after graduation she could work at Konoha Hospital with her seniors.

"Is that so... Karin will definitely be fine~"

After chatting with Karin, who was traveling the same way, they headed off separately towards the Ninja Academy and Konoha Hospital.

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, Toshiro, who rarely comes to the office, is looking at the graduates' information in his hand and is also having a headache about how to arrange these soon-to-graduate kids.

After much deliberation, he decided to follow the original arrangement directly, which would save him the trouble of worrying and working hard.

He beckoned, and a figure knelt in front of him.

"Itachi, I'm giving you a two-week break. Go back and prepare yourself!"

Looking at the figure in front of him, who was exactly the same as in the original work except for not having a red cloud robe, Toshiro chuckled and joked.

"After Izumi gets married, are you planning to move out?"

"...Izumi wants to move out, saying that way they can have their own world."

Even Itachi, who is usually expressionless, was a little embarrassed when the Hokage teased him.

"I hope the Hokage-sama can attend the wedding!"

Although he was a little embarrassed, Itachi quickly regained his composure.

He is eighteen years old this year.

In the Uchiha clan, young men his age who have suitable spouses are already considering marriage.

The only thing he hadn't expected was Itachi and Izumi; the young couple here actually chose to move out of the Fugaku residence, which surprised him somewhat.

"Yes, I'll definitely be there!"

Putting everything else aside, just considering your family's two kaleidoscope eyes, he has no reason not to attend Itachi's wedding.

What's more, the other party is Indra's reincarnation's brother, which makes it even more impossible to miss.

Go!

Itachi is now his most useful tool, and it's already a blessing that he can have a two-week vacation.

"It is my great honor. I shall take my leave now."

Without lingering, Itachi disappeared from the Hokage's office after receiving permission from the Hokage.

P.S.: I was a bit busy today, and didn't have enough time...
