When Uchiha brought his son back at night...

I saw the silver-haired man standing at the door of their courtyard waiting for me. He had already taken off his white imperial robe and put on his usual blue home kimono. He had a robe around his neck that he could wear three seasons a year because he liked it so much.

He wears a white fur collar, holds his sleeves with his hands, and looks forward to it.

and……

In the first second when their eyes met...

He showed her an extremely gentle smile.

She then subconsciously speeded up her pace, and finally, she simply started running.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Qian Shu Feijian said with some worry. It has snowed from time to time in the past two days. Although there are people clearing snow at home and in the village at all times according to his instructions, he is still worried that she will

Fell down due to slippery road.

...Although, for a powerful ninja, it is difficult.

But what does this have to do with him worrying about her?

If possible, sometimes he wished he could wrap her up in a soft swaddling clothes and carry her in his arms or behind his back to take care of her.

"Why are you standing here?" Uchiha ran to his lover and stood in front of him. He raised his head and asked, "It's so cold. Wouldn't it be better to wait for me in the room?"

"In this case," Qianju Tobijian stretched out his hand to hold the little lover's hand, and while leading her to the courtyard, he replied with a smile, "then I can see you immediately."

"...Then why don't you just wait at the gate of Shodaime-sama and Mito-sama's courtyard?"

"I'm worried about being kicked out by her."

"Pfft!" Ochiha couldn't help but smile, turning his head and smiling, "Mito-sister is not that fierce, she is gentle~ beautiful, gentle, beautiful, dignified, generous and powerful... she is simply the ideal sister and

Mother."

"I heard it," Qianju Tobirama also smiled, "You really like her."

"Hmm~"

"But, Ying, don't worry about it in front of me. The last words you just said...don't say anything more in front of my sister-in-law."

After all...hey, the child that my sister-in-law and my eldest brother gave birth to after touching the Nine-Tails Seal with great difficulty could not be saved.

Since the sister-in-law is not planning to remarry, it is unlikely that she will have children and become a mother.

"...I know." The Uchiha man nodded solemnly, "In the future...if we have children and are busy, we can send them to Mito-san to help take care of them. You see, she takes care of Xiaozuna a lot.

Okay~ At first glance, she is a qualified little ninja and little princess."

Qianju Tobijian smiled and responded, "Okay." After a pause, he added, "If you don't agree to my proposal, how can we have a child?"

He didn't have many opinions on "having a child out of wedlock". After all, the first thing to do was to follow the right, and once a creature like a ninja got the upper hand, he could do anything. However, if there was a child between them, he hoped it would be after marriage.

Give her the title of "Mrs. Hokage", and give the children the title of "legitimate son".

However, by asking this question, he not only caught the "little loophole" in her words, but also tried a little to see what she and her sister-in-law had talked about in private.

Uchiha Oichi didn't answer, but said: "Tobirama, let's go enjoy the plum blossoms."

"Hmm? Now?"

"Yeah, can't you?" Uchiha asked, "If you have something to do, just do it. It doesn't matter. You can do it next time."

"No, it's nothing." Qianju Feijian shook his head and said half-jokingly, "If it were really urgent, I wouldn't be waiting for you helplessly in the wind and snow, right?"

"...Listening to what you said, it seems like I have been wronged a lot." The little girl complained.

"I'm not aggrieved, I should." The old man said seriously.

"Hmph~"

So Qian Shu Feijian led his little lover to the plum blossom forest.

Nowadays, with electricity and electric lights, the ninja clan no longer has to light bonfires everywhere at night as they did in the past, and then let ninjas holding torches patrol around.

As long as there are lights, everything is bright.

However, in terms of aesthetic taste, Senshou Tobirama prefers lights and lanterns, thinking that they provide a kind of natural beauty.

Therefore, in the courtyard where he lived, at night, there were lanterns hanging everywhere that swayed slightly in the night wind. The firelight swayed and the shadows of objects danced.

The same is true near Plum Blossom Forest.

Under the dim firelight at night, the white snow and plum blossoms are far less dazzling than they are during the day, but they have a bit more vague and hazy beauty.

Qianshou Feijian held the hand of the girl beside him and walked among them.

"Tobirama."

"What?"

"Will it snow again tonight?"

"Yes." Senju Tobirama replied affirmatively, "and it will be a heavy snowfall." He also has certain knowledge in weather forecasting.

"Then... do you want to make a bet?" Uchiha suddenly let go of the man's belt, took a few steps back and stood under a nearby tree, and asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.

"...What kind of bet?"

"If you can make it snow now, I will marry you~" Uchiha tilted his head slightly and said seriously.

Senju Tobirama: "..." He widened his eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. He was keenly aware that she seemed to have planned to agree to his proposal, but because she didn't want to agree, the timing and occasion were too strange.

That's why he was brought here specially.

……Too.

After a few years like this...

When faced with inquiries from children and other people, there will also be a particularly beautiful statement.

About their marriage proposal.

But...

In view of his previous "annoying behavior", she didn't seem to want to simply let him get his wish, so she wanted to make things a little harder for him.

Is it snowing...

Senju Tobirama held his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "I do know some ninjutsu that can affect the weather. However, Hotaru, you need to give me a little time to prepare. I have to make some preparations for measurement and calculation.

.”

"...Tobirama, you are too 'weak'." Uchiha Oichi folded his arms, "If I say it, you can do it immediately, without using ninjutsu."

"Oh?" Qianshou Feijian raised his eyes, somewhat disbelieving.

"What would you say if I did it?" Uchiha raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's better than this. If I do it, I will treat it as you marrying me instead of me marrying you. Of course, this is a secret between the two of us.

~I will never embarrass you in front of others~"

Qianju Tobirama: "..." Is this... considered her ambition?

The senior ANBU who are hiding in the dark: "..." No, no, this is our secret, Hotaru-senpai~

But...hehehe, eat the melon, eat the melon~

"How is it?" Uchiha asked with his hands on his hips, "Tobirama, just say it's okay."

After thinking about it for a while, Senju Tobirama replied: "The so-called marriage is actually about mutual possession or even possession by both parties. So, Firefly, whether I marry you or you marry me, there is no problem at all."

When he was young, he would probably have trouble thinking about how a man could be so shameless.

But at this age, life, old age, illness and death have all been taken away, so what else can’t be thought of? Just be persistent in the most important things, and let the rest be as you please.

"So you agreed?" Ochiha laughed immediately. In fact, she was just joking, but she actually felt that marriage is not that important. The so-called marriage is actually two people who are willing to be together from now on. Let's be together every day. If we can get by, then live well. If we can't, then... In short, as long as we are happy enough, the other names are not that important.

"So," Senju Tobirama asked with a smile, "How do you plan to make it snow?" According to his observation, the snow tonight will probably not fall until midnight.

"Hey hey hey~" Uchiha raised his hand and pointed at the silver-haired man in front of him, "Come here~ I'll tell you when you come here."

Qianju Tobirama then walked over and stood under the plum tree with her little lover, and then...

She raised her foot high and suddenly kicked it on the tree next to her.

In an instant, the tree body swayed.

Countless snow and red plum blossoms fell from the branches, all falling on their heads, shoulders, clothes and the ground beside them...

Qianju Tojian: "..."

"'If we fall in the snow together today, we will grow old together in this life.'" Uchiha held up the white snow on his head with his belt and looked up at the man in front of him with the same situation. "I have heard such a saying before, so I think, again There is no more appropriate occasion to propose than this. Tobirama, what do you think?"

"..." After Qianju Tobirama was silent for a while, he raised his hand and gently brushed away the snow on the girl's head in front of him. Then, he put his hands on her shoulders, lowered his head and asked seriously, "So, Firefly, are you willing to come with me?" Will we be married until we are old and not be separated?"

Uchiha stood on tiptoes and also raised his hand, gently brushing away the snow on the head of the man in front of him, and replied with bright eyes: "Yes, Tobirama, I do."

The next second, she was hugged deeply by her lover... no, her fiancé. His strength was so strong that he seemed to want to rub her whole body into his body. But she did not struggle or resist, just the same He stretched out his hand and hugged the other person hard, closed his eyes, and then opened them, thinking firmly——

From this moment on, we will embark on a new path...

No matter what path it takes, I will never regret it.

Because we are walking with Tobirama, and we can better protect everyone.
To be continued...
