Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 54 Everyday Life

Inside the living room, at the dining table.

As everyone took their seats, the home, which was usually quiet, was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

But as time went by and everyone began to eat, the atmosphere gradually became somewhat...

"I want to eat this!"

"Come on, let me feed you!"

"This one is good too, you should try it!"

"..."

"Big brother! This is Toshiro's house. We're gathered here today to celebrate for him. Could you please stop...?"

Uchiha Mika was exasperated and could no longer tolerate it, so she interrupted the two lovers' sweet talk.

At that moment, sitting on the left side of the dining table, opposite Minghong, were Uchiha Masao and Ayako. The two were feeding each other, oblivious to everyone else.

This made her, Akihiro, and Toshiro, who were sitting opposite her, extremely embarrassed.

Sure enough, after all these years, they haven't changed at all. These two are really...

If you two want to show off your love, go home and enjoy some time alone together.

[They can do whatever they want without anyone caring, and they're still at Toshiro's house—it's a complete mess!]

This was one of the reasons why she decisively moved in with Toshiro back then. It was both convenient to take care of him and to avoid the two of them.

Back then, she was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and the two had just gotten married. But their clingy nature made it impossible for her, a young girl in the prime of her life, to stay at home.

I never expected that after so many years, the two of them would still act the same way, without any change.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Hmm! You mean eating? You can do this with Minghong too!" Without the slightest embarrassment, he suggested to Meixiang.

"Minghong and I would never do that, it's so embarrassing..." Meixiang firmly denied, feeling deeply ashamed of their behavior.

"This is a way to express your feelings. You and Minghong can give it a try; maybe you'll both like it!"

Uchiha Masao felt no embarrassment whatsoever about his and his wife's public display of affection. Instead, he enthusiastically recommended it to Uchiha Mika and Akihiro, hoping they would give it a try as well.

This is to enhance the relationship between the couple.

"No need, Masao-nii, whatever makes you happy..."

At the dinner table, Minghong, who hadn't said much since the meal started, finally couldn't help but interject.

[These kinds of things are best done secretly by two people at home. Meixiang's older brother and sister-in-law are really something...]

As the main character of the day and the head of the household, Toshiro, sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead upon seeing this scene, utterly speechless at his uncle and aunt. This was evident from the fact that they walked hand-in-hand as if no one else was around when they entered.

"Speaking of Uncle and Aunt, and Sister Meixiang and Brother Minghong, you've been married for quite a while now, do you have any plans to have children?"

No matter where you are, pressuring someone to get married or have children is always the best way to change the subject. Left with no other option, Toshiro had to resort to this ultimate tactic.

"Minghong and I have discussed it. We'll wait until the new drug is fully developed before considering having children!"

"But what about you, elder brother and sister-in-law? You've been together for so many years, have you considered it?"

Surrounded by her family, Meixiang had nothing to be shy about and spoke frankly. She then turned to ask her older brother and sister-in-law, while thinking to herself...

I wonder if having a child and becoming parents will make these two mature and stop being so childish!

"Have a baby? Masao and I have discussed it. But I've heard childbirth is very painful?"

As a woman, and already in my early twenties, I naturally pay attention to these kinds of topics. But thinking about some of the rumors circulating makes me a little scared.

As a woman myself, upon hearing this, Meixiang's heart skipped a beat, but she still managed to maintain a nonchalant demeanor and replied.

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to those rumors. The medical technology at Konoha Hospital is very advanced now, and they even have medical ninjutsu to assist us. It's not as exaggerated as the rumors say!"

"Really? But I heard that all the women in the tribe who have given birth..."

"Of course it's true, sister-in-law. I'm a medical jonin currently serving in Konoha, how could I possibly lie to you?"

Because of the great success of the special blood-clotting medicine, Uchiha Mika was promoted to medical jonin.

The two women immediately got into a lively conversation about having children. Toshiro breathed a sigh of relief; the dinner party could finally get back on track.

"Brother Ming Hong, as a member of the security team, have you heard any news? What arrangements has the department made for us new members?"

The Konoha Police Force is essentially run by the Uchiha clan. I haven't felt any other benefits, but this one thing is very real. If I have any rumors, I can just ask my relatives and friends.

"I heard that several elite members of your tribe will be assigned as teachers, and you'll then perform some routine tasks to train for a period of time..."

To avoid an awkward silence, Toshiro started the conversation by asking Akihiro a question. As for his uncle, as punishment for creating that awkward atmosphere, let him reflect on his actions alone.

This time, I graduated early along with Toshiro.

Excluding the sixth-grade students, there are a total of 21 people, forming 7 teams. The sixth-grade graduates will join the normal master-disciple system, while they will form teams composed entirely of Uychiha members.

Although the Third Hokage intended to prevent the Uchiha clan from joining the master-disciple system, it was reasonable to allow their promising young members to graduate early and form normal mission teams since he had agreed to it.

"Oh! So, have you heard anything about who will lead the team and who will be the teammates?"

"Well! I have heard about the specific candidates. But it's always good to leave a little suspense and give yourself something to look forward to!"

Instead of directly telling Toshiro the specific candidate, he spoke in a teasing tone. This was also one of Uchiha Akihiro's ways of interacting with people, making him seem somewhat witty and humorous.

"Is that so? Hmm! That's true!"

Just like Uchiha Akihiro said, life needs a little suspense. If you knew the outcome of everything in advance, wouldn't it be incredibly boring?

Looking at his wife and sister chatting enthusiastically at the dinner table, as well as his brother-in-law and nephew who were also having a pleasant conversation, Uchiha Masao suddenly felt like he was being superfluous.

Have I been abandoned by everyone?

I feel like there's no place for me here anymore!
