Fortunately, the young couple quickly gave him an accurate answer.

"Is this thing... edible?" He had only seen it in potted plants. Some flower arrangers would use withered lotus leaves, blooming lotus and budding lotus to represent the past, present and future respectively.

For ordinary people, lotus flowers are also mostly used in sacrificial occasions.

Some superstitious ninjas are even more taboo about this. To what extent is it taboo?

It was taboo to the point of going to war over it. The reason was that the chrysanthemums on the greeting card sent by the party being attacked were somewhat like lotuses... Well, it was considered to be a malicious curse.

The ninja world is huge, and there are indeed not a few ninjas who are as "superstitious" as the Shirakawa clan.

However, they Uchiha don't care much about this. And since it was brought by his younger brother and sister-in-law, even if it is really a thing that leads to the Pure Land, he will accept it with a smile.

"Yeah, it's edible!" Uchiha quickly pulled out a small handful of tender lotus seeds, then put half of it into his brother-in-law's big hand, and gave the remaining half to the two curious kittens.

cub.

The three of them tasted it and thought it tasted really good.

"I want more!" Uchiha Yao raised his hand and said.

"No." Uchiha Izuna knelt down on one knee, touched his little nephew's head, and said seriously, "This is too cold, and it's not early now, let's do it tomorrow." He turned to look at his eldest nephew,

"The same goes for you Hui, you are still recuperating. Don't eat too cold."

"Yeah." Uchiha Teru nodded obediently, "Yao and I eat the same amount." In fact, he knew that he could probably eat more when he was older, but in this case, wouldn't Yao be greedy? So, it's the same.

alright.

Uchiha Izuna, who fully understood what his eldest nephew meant, had a gentle smile on his face and rubbed the former's little head again.

"Don't just talk about the children." Uchiha Madara looked a little speechless at his little sister-in-law who had eaten three in front of him in a short period of time, her mouth full, grabbed her hand, and

The fourth lotus pod she was holding in her hand was "forcibly taken away" and thrown into a basket nearby. "Hitomi, the same goes for you."

"..." Tat is stingy, what's wrong with eating one more...

Uchiha Madara didn't say anything, he just shook his head angrily.

The logic is very simple. Since the cat shows a cute expression, it must be indebted to rua.

"Brother is right." Uchiha Izuna agreed decisively, and then he grabbed his wife and threw her over his shoulder, "It's getting late, brother, we will go back today, and you should rest early.

"

"Go." Uchiha Madara knew that when his brother came over now, in addition to bringing him food, he probably also wanted to let him know that they were fine, and hoped that he would not continue to worry about it. Now he has fully understood this.

It was over, and it was indeed getting late, so they could go back.

"Brother Madara," Uchiha, who was used to being carried around, turned his head and waved to the man behind him, "See you tomorrow!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Uchiha Madara nodded slightly, and then watched the two figures go further and further away.

"Father."

"Huh?" He looked down at his second son and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"No... I'm just a little curious," Uchiha Yao tilted his head and said, "Why did my second uncle and second aunt suddenly send this."

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to ask his father directly about similar things; but unknowingly, he also developed the habit of speaking directly. And he also discovered that his father never minded him asking questions.

I asked questions and answered them patiently every time, no matter how boring the questions were.

...So the second aunt is right, my father just looks fierce and is essentially no different from her and the second uncle.

Then the second aunt's other sentence is definitely right, "Don't say this to your father, he might cry~". As a filial son, how can he make his father cry? So he will make this sentence

Keep it a secret~

"Because your second uncle took your second aunt to go boating."

Uchiha Madara knew about this because someone came to report it to him. I heard that Izuna played the flute tonight for the first time in a long time.

Izuna has always been beautiful, it can be said that she has been beautiful since childhood, and Hitomi is also beautiful and cute. The two of them went boating in the lotus pond and played the flute in the bright moonlight. He thought that the scenery must be beautiful at that time, and he even felt a little like it.

Go and have a look. But in the end, no. After all, if Izuna and Hitomi were aware of his chakra, they might invite him to join them.

No matter how low his emotional intelligence is, he knows that it is not easy to disturb him at that time.

In other words, third parties are not allowed to enter.

So he didn't go.

But how to say...

Suddenly I felt a little "left out" and a little lonely.

While realizing this, he also vaguely realized one thing, that is, in daily life, although he is the older brother, maybe Izuna and Hitomi have been tolerant and caring for him.

I was a little uncomfortable at first, but then I thought about it, we are a family after all, so I instantly felt at ease.

And now, the things the two of them sent also proved that even if they ran out to play, they would still keep his brother first in their hearts. Well, that's okay.

The rare melancholy in the big cat's heart disappeared in an instant. After all, he has never been a sad person. It is rare for him to be slightly entangled over such a trivial matter.

He didn't realize-

The reason why he felt a little uncomfortable before was because he subconsciously felt that his younger brother Izuna, who he had grown up with and was always inseparable from, was "separated". In short, a third person appeared in the world of two people. However,

, the three of them are not arranged side by side in the order of "Uchiha Madara - Uchiha Izuna - Uchiha Obito", but they go around in a circle, forming a common circle.

What was missing from Madara Uchiha's side was well compensated for by what was penetrated from Ochiha Ochiha's side.

The world of two people unconsciously turned into a community of three people.

Everything happened without a sound.

But if they all think it's okay, then it must not be a bad thing.

Soon after.

The young couple returned to their room.

After taking a shower, Uchiha wiped her husband's hair with a ribbon, then allowed him to continue wiping her hair - because her hair was thicker, so it would take more time - and then took out this time.

I wrote a few letters to my family and began to read them to him seriously.

after a while……

"How about this letter? Can it be mailed?"

"Yeah, okay."

"That's good~" Uchiha happily put away a few letters, "Then I'll find someone to help me send them back tomorrow."

"Don't go through the Uchiha channel?"

"It's all fine, but there are people in the 'dowry' I brought here who are specifically responsible for this." Uchiha replied casually while packing up the letters, "Mother said that if you are not good to me, you can also report back through them.

Home and then... um..." She paused, thinking, screw it, did I accidentally sell my mother...

"Go on." Uchiha Izuna leaned closer to his wife's ear, tilted his head and said with a smile, "Then what?" Come on, let me hear what the Shirakawa clan can do to help you escape from the Uchiha clan.

plan.

"...Not much."

"Um?"

"I told you it was nothing."

"oh?"

"... Stop making trouble!" Uchiha put away the letter and complained, "Anyway, you are very good to me, so this possibility does not exist~" After that, she added, "By the way, during this period

My mother also mailed me a letter, do you want to hear it?"

"want."

"...You should be more tactful."

"Anyway, even if you don't show it to me, I will definitely peek in the future. Is there any difference?" Uchiha Izuna frankly admitted that he was a very curious and controlling person, and he already knew about this.

I originally planned to ask her about it when I came back, along with other things.

Unexpectedly...

Well, plans don't change quickly.

"..." I don't really want to talk to him.

However, she still puffed up her face slightly, dug out the letter mailed by Mrs. Shirakawa, and read it to her husband sentence by sentence. Previously, the latter was worried that this would not be a good idea, so he did not do it, but after the visits and exchanges between the two clans,

After a return visit, she realized that her cheap son-in-law and the Uchiha clan didn't mind that her daughter still maintained close contact with them, so she wrote a letter with confidence and boldness. Of course, this letter was also "censored" by Shirakawa Hidenobu.

Like Uchiha Izuna, this old father-in-law has no intention of distrusting his wife, he just wants to avoid other troubles.

Uchiha Izuna nodded while listening, and then decisively grasped the key point——

"Listen, my mother-in-law also urges you to give me a child as soon as possible."

"...Is this my problem alone?"
