Watching the ninja take away the scroll...

Uchiha stretched out his hand with a somewhat complicated mood and gently pulled the sleeve of the person next to him.

"What?" Uchiha Izuna raised his sleeve and looked at his wife's little hand hanging on it, and asked with a chuckle, "Everything has been explained clearly. What are you still worried about?"

"...I hope that my father, mother, and brothers won't be too troubled, and don't worry too much about me."

"..." A little girl who always likes to worry blindly.

Uchiha Izuna shook his sleeves and shook off the kitten's claws. Then, he hugged her and sat back on the floor again. He raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulders, patting her gently again and again. This behavior made no sound.

comforting his kitten.

"Izuna-kun..." Uchiha raised his head and shouted softly.

"What?"

"Thank you very much for everything you have done for me." She licked her fingers and told him what he had done one by one. "After discovering the abnormality, you did not doubt me and were willing to give me time to think.

Continue to let me stay with you, listen to me patiently, and then...believe me, and accept me with Brother Ban..."

"That's right." The young man rubbed his wife's little head and said, "I remember it very clearly. So, since I have been so kind to you, have you figured out how to repay me?"

"...At times like this, shouldn't you say 'I'm grateful without saying a word of thanks' tolerantly?!" Why do you ask for reward for backhanding!

"Sorry, I am a very realistic person~"

"...I can see it."

She gave him a roll of her eyes.

Then……

Slowly stretched out her hands and hugged his waist, which was also very thin. Then, she gently put her head on his shoulder and said softly: "Izuna-kun..."

"Huh?" Uchiha Izuna, who had a premonition that his wife had something important to say, did not interrupt, but waited patiently for her next words.

"What Brother Madara said before is right... Actually, until I married you, I didn't know exactly what marriage was. I just felt that I should repay the Shirakawa clan for their kindness to me."

"Um."

"Just like you originally only wanted to marry the daughter of the Shirakawa clan, I originally only wanted to marry the leader of the Uchiha clan."

"Um."

"Although I don't know exactly what marriage is until now, I think it is a very lucky thing to meet you, Izuna-kun. So," she raised her head, reflecting in her eyes

The young man who was also looking at her had a bright smile on his face, "I will work harder to get along with you! Well, I will work hard in all aspects, be a good wife, and maintain our relationship well."

This marriage will be very good to you, and it will also be very good to your family! And then, you will also like the Uchiha clan even more..."

"Yes." Uchiha Izuna lowered his eyes and smiled, "Hitomi-chan, is this a 'cat's repayment' from you?"

"Just take it as it is~" Uchiha replied with a smile, "Of course, if you bully me, I will definitely beat you without mercy!"

"...You promised that you would be nice to me?" How could you fall out so quickly~

"Those are two different things. Besides," the girl muttered in a low voice, "occasionally I think you enjoy my fist."

Uchiha Izuna: "..." Well, that's absolutely not the case! But then again, since she said so, does he want to ask for a little "reward"? He's ready to make a move... He's ready to make a move...

...stupid desire...huh?

Why did the cat escape?

The young man stared blankly at his little wife, who seemed to suddenly remember something, clapped her hands, got up, and started running out, and asked: "Hitomi-chan, where are you going?"

"Collect the fish!"

"……ha?"

Uchiha Izuna stood up and followed her out. Then she was speechless to find that she had actually dried a bunch of small fish on the top of the tallest landscape in her yard.

"...What are you doing?"

"Drying the dried fish~" Uchiha replied while putting the dried fish into the basin, "I heard that Madara is good at doing this, so I told him to give it a try~"

Uchiha Izuna: "..." It's impossible. No one can replicate the smell of dried fish made by my brother, not even him, so he once complained that it was his brother's unique blood.

Next. He looked at the long-tailed black cat squatting aside and asked, "Black, what are you doing here?"

Speaking of which, I really didn't see it much after I came back today. If it had been in the past, Hei would have been very happy to greet him. I thought it was sensible and didn't want to disturb their husband and wife's get-together, but it turned out to be here?

"Guard the dried fish." The long-tailed black cat swallowed, raised its head and replied seriously, "to prevent it from being eaten by passing wild cats, dogs or wild birds."

Uchiha Izuna: "..." Forget about birds, there are no wild cats or dogs here... But he did see one thing, "It seems that you are very fond of the dried fish dried by Hitomi-chan?"

"...Hitomi-chan?" Maomao tilted his head.

"That's right." Uchiha Ouzi, who had collected all the dried fish in the small wooden basin, said with a smile, "My new name~ Madara gave it to me. From now on, I will be 'Hitomi'."

"That's it." Ninja Cat Black shook his tail slightly in surprise. Of course he knew the unusualness of this name, but he wisely didn't say more or ask more questions. He just answered the other person's question just now, "Hitomi-sama"

The dried fish smells good." Moreover, according to the agreement between it and Hitomi-sama, it can get one-third of the total amount on the day of completion~

The remaining two-thirds are divided equally between Master Hitomi and Master Yao.

After all, they all contributed to this matter.

It had a hunch that this was definitely the best deal it had ever made in its life.

"Oh?" Uchiha Izuna raised an eyebrow, and suddenly became a little more interested, asking, "When will it be ready?"

"Well..." Uchiha tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, "Let's give it another three or four days."

"Have you done this in the past?"

"...I don't remember." She raised her head and replied, "So, I did it based on intuition."

Uchiha Izuna: "..." Amnesia... is really troublesome, but he can see that this sentence is not a lie.

"I hope I don't fail..."

Uchiha Izuna looked at his wife who was pulling and drying the small fish in the basin. She looked more like a kitten in an instant. She smiled and replied: "It's okay to try again if it fails. The hostess of Uchiha, are you worried that there will be no use for the small fish?"

"Hehe~" Ochiha Ochiha felt that he was coaxed again, so this guy is really... he can make people mad when he is angry, and he can coax people to the sky when he is coaxing. He is too good at controlling other people's emotions.

, in every sense, it is actually a bit scary, right? Fortunately, they are a couple, and she sincerely believes that he will not really do anything bad to her. However, "Even so, if he does it badly, it will not be a waste."

Okay. Yaojun told me, and Huijun told him that there are many people outside who can’t even eat rice..."

When she was in the Shirakawa clan, her father, mother and brothers loved her very much. Even if they told her about outside things, they would hardly involve the cold and cruel reality.

Of course, in fact, she could roughly guess that under the premise that all ninja clans need to go to war frequently, life outside... is probably not very good. And the chat with Yaojun further confirmed this.

"...It's okay." Uchiha Izuna raised his hand and rubbed his little wife's head, and said comfortingly, "It won't be wasted. We can chop some into pieces and feed them to the fish in the lotus pond. Omnivorous fish are rarely picky eaters anyway.

.When those fish grow up, they will become food for the tribe." Forget about the koi. If she accidentally feeds them to death, it will probably be a bigger waste for her, but then again

, “How are the koi in the yard doing?”

"Ah?" Uchiha was stunned for a moment and then replied, "It's very good. I even went to feed him today."

"...I mean body shape."

"Oh... that..." Uchiha's eyes drifted a little guiltily, "He, it's about the same size as Madara's..."

Unfortunately, her husband was not the type to be fooled. He realized the problem almost immediately——

"You actually extended your claws to the koi in my brother's yard?"

Although many of the landscapes on both sides remain the same, at least this...isn't necessary?

"...What, what is a devil's claw! I just kindly took Yaojun to feed the fish!" She replied a little unconvinced, "Besides, besides, I didn't feed them to death anyway, and all the fish grew.

That’s great!”

Uchiha Izuna: "..." You guy... do you know that koi is an "ornamental fish"? It is used to - watch -! Who would deliberately keep a bunch of fat-headed fish in the yard? Fortunately for him

There are not many guests here on a daily basis, otherwise... it would be really eye-opening.

The long-tailed black cat on the side sucked again, and sincerely "admonished": "Sir Izuna, if you really dislike those fish, I suggest you change a batch. I can help you get rid of the fish you replaced, suck~"

Uchiha Izuna:= =

This person and the cat are all eyeing his little fish, right?

but……

He looked at his young wife who was stroking his Ninja Cat partner and his Ninja Cat partner who was waving her tail happily, and suddenly he had a bad premonition: Brother... is already a little partial, Yao also likes her very much, Hui seems to

I don’t hate it either, now he’s even black... If things go on like this, from now on, when she “beats” him in public, won’t everyone and animals have to clap their hands and cheer?

...Well, if you think about it carefully, it seems quite interesting~

That's okay.

Uchiha always acts from his heart, and ninjas always respect those who have the ability the most, so if she can really do this, then he is willing to believe it.

Then, he jumped off the landscape with his little wife in his arms and returned to the house again.

The rouge-colored sunset that originally shrouded the entire courtyard disappeared without knowing it, and night fell quietly without realizing it.

The long-tailed black cat raised its head and sniffed the air, and murmured: "The air is damp, and it looks like it will rain heavily tomorrow. By the way, Hitomi-sama, will the lack of sun affect the taste of the dried fish?"

"It's okay." Uchiha smiled and shook his head, "After they are completely dried, the next step is the process of drying in the shade. Originally, I planned to dry them indoors starting tomorrow."

"That's it." Ninja Cat Black immediately felt relieved, raised his paws and patted his chest to promise, "I will watch carefully and I will never let passing snakes, insects, rats, and ants steal them."

Uchiha Izuna: "..." You don't want to do anything else? Also, this is my place of residence, and there are cats everywhere. Where did the snakes, insects, rats, and ants come from...

He deeply suspected that this "sanctimonious ninja cat" was trying to prevent other ordinary cats passing by from stealing food from him, and he had proof.

"Oh~ That's so reliable." Uchiha smiled and knelt down to pet his cat ninja friend who had been getting along well with him for a while. "Then, I'll leave it to you~ Kuro."

"Meow~" The long-tailed black cat once again flicked its tail happily, and suddenly its expression changed. It moved its little nose again with some uncertainty, then hesitantly looked at the person in front of it, and asked doubtfully,

"Hitomi-sama, why do you have a strange smell on your body..."

"Hey? Me?"
