This interesting conversation between father and son made both Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Itachi laugh a little.

Immediately, Uchiha Mikoto eased her husband's embarrassment with joking words: "Anada, it seems that the old saying is true, 'the fragrance is far away and the smell is near'. I don't feel that when I see Sasuke every day, I can't see him for a long time."

I miss it so much when I see it, right? Even if it’s some small shortcomings, I still feel cute when I think about them, such as getting up secretly to eat tomatoes when I’m hungry in the middle of the night, and then sleepily seeing a big bell pepper as a tomato, and biting into it..."

"Mom!" Uchiha Sasuke said with some embarrassment, "That's a matter for the third grade of elementary school. Don't bring it up all the time!"

"Well, you're right." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, "Think about it carefully, once Sasuke starts studying in college, in the future... I'm afraid he will only be able to go home for a short vacation and three fixed holidays, right? That's right after graduating from college.

Find a job, and then find a suitable partner to start a family, get married and have children... There is no chance of living with us for a long time anymore." Even Itachi, who studied at Nanhe University, had his own affairs after attending university.

He rented a house near the school and only went home during the holidays. If Sasuke really studied at Konoha University, which is far away from home, he would only be even more...

Before I knew it, my two sons had completely "left home".

Even in the future...

In the future, if they can live with their sons, it is most likely that the eldest son will be Itachi. There is nothing they can do about it. Either they will not live with any of them, or they will have to live with the eldest son, because if they choose to live with the youngest son, others will not say "

"This old couple takes pity on their young son," and they will only think that Itachi has a character problem and has treated his parents harshly.

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Father... you think so far...

As a person involved, he didn't have any intuitive feelings; on the contrary, as a mother, Uchiha Mikoto, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She tried to calm down the sudden intense emotions, took a deep breath, and said: "Yes

Ah... before you know it, you will all be big kids who can 'leave the nest'."

She can actually feel that her husband Fugaku seems to have realized something recently and wants to make some changes. As a wife, of course she will cooperate. After all, they have been together for so many years. Moreover, if Fugaku feels that there is something wrong with this family,

, then it will definitely not be his responsibility alone. Because as a wife and mother, she also shoulders the responsibility of the family.

However, she really wanted to complain and said: Ananda, how many times have I told you, don't speak if you can't speak. Sasuke is about to enter the examination room, what kind of trouble are you trying to make by saying these tear-jerking words here!

Do you want Sasuke to go into the examination room with tears and snot in his eyes and make a mess on the test paper? Help! As expected, you should just shut up!

Uchiha Itachi: "..." Although he was surprised and a little touched that his father could say these words, his heart at the moment was the same as that of his mother——

Do you have to say this at this time?

"...Father, mother," Uchiha Sasuke, who was the person involved, was numb all over, "do you have to say this at this time?"

"Sorry," Uchiha Mikoto raised her hand and pushed her husband, "Okay, Ananda, don't say anything that makes Sasuke uncomfortable anymore. You have to let him concentrate on the exam..."

"No, Mom, have you misunderstood something?" Uchiha Sasuke, who has indeed been taught to "speak more directly" during this period of time, said directly, "I don't feel uncomfortable with what my father just said, I just don't think it is necessary.

So pessimistic. The few years I was in college were indeed... I probably couldn't live with you because I had to study. However, my father is fifty years old this year and will almost retire when I graduate from college and get a stable job.

I’m not short of money. If I want to stay in Konoha and work in the future, wouldn’t it be enough for you to buy a house here?”

"No..." Uchiha Fugaku replied, "Even if you live with your son in the future, it is better to live with your brother... Of course, it is also possible that your mother and I will live alone for retirement." After all, young people nowadays are all living alone.

You need your own space, and living with Itachi might be causing trouble for him.

"So -" Uchiha Sasuke dragged out a long tone and received it with some helplessness, "Our family is not short of money. When the time comes, if everyone wants to live independently, wouldn't it be great to buy a house together?

Individual homes are in the same row or in the same building. If my brother and I live in different cities, you can buy a house next to where we live. You can live here in the first half of the year and live in that place in the second half of the year. Open the door.

It’s just each other’s house, what’s the difference between living together?”

Uchiha Fugaku: "..." Don't say it, it's true, the family can definitely afford to buy several houses.

"So, don't be unfounded." Uchiha Sasuke lay on his seat, raised his hand to help his father tidy up his coat, which had become a little messy at some point, and said calmly, "Can the whole family live together?

In the end, it all depends on your heart. If you want to get along day and night, you can definitely do it; if you don’t want to, you may not be able to find someone even if you live in the same room."

"For example, you kid ran away from home?" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help laughing.

"..." Hey, father, I'm trying to comfort you, can you show some comforting attitude?

Uchiha Sasuke was very dissatisfied.

However……

Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand again, patted the second son's head gently, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Sasuke."

"..." The boy's eyes widened slightly, because in his memory, his father had always been able to maintain "the majesty of the elders in the family", but he rarely apologized to him so directly. Then, he heard the other party say——

"I ignored your ideas before and decided to let you study at Nanhe University."

"Father……"

"But, now I have completely figured it out. Just go and read whatever you want. As you said, our family is not short of money." Anyway, even if only half of the inheritance is divided to Sasuke in the future, it will be enough for him to eat and drink in the future.

Sad.

It was difficult to say these words in daily life, but once he said them, he felt extremely relaxed. Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As for the vows you made before, you don't have to take them seriously. Just work hard and do your best.

That's it. What happens next... it's all up to you. Anyway, keep going." He raised his hand, clenched it into a fist as if joking, and raised it a little unfamiliarly, "You are the son of me and Mikoto, Itachi's brother.

It can definitely be done.”

"Father..." Uchiha Sasuke murmured again.

Uchiha Fugaku was contentedly waiting for his son to speak his heartfelt words, and then heard the latter murmuring again——

"You don't know, do you really have a fever?"

"..." Nizi!

Then, the whole family laughed at the same time.

Uchiha Itachi smiled, looked at his father in surprise, and then looked at his younger brother, thinking: Sure enough, changes always happen unconsciously... Is it because of Sasuke's "running away from home" incident? No, not too

Not entirely. However, if it weren't for Sister Daizi's intervention, even if things would develop in a good direction, they might not be like this.

Since it was her blessing, I have to thank her properly from now on...

the other side.

"A sneeze, a sneeze, a sneeze—!" Uchiha covered his mouth with a belt, sneezed two or three times in succession, and then rubbed his hands randomly in his pockets.

"...Obi-sama, here are the tissues." Uchiha Shisui took the lead and handed over the tissues he carried with him, and then asked with some worry, "Isn't it because you have a cold?"

"Ah, thank you." Uchiha took the tissue and wiped his nose while replying, "Probably not, I am dressed warmly enough. And, isn't there that saying? One sneeze is a cold, more sneezes are a cold.

Someone is thinking about it." After she finished speaking, she nodded solemnly, "So, someone is probably thinking about me now." Then there were three or four more sneezes.

Uchiha Shisui: "...Pfft!" He couldn't help laughing, "It seems that this person misses you very passionately, Oiko-san."

The Uchiha boy rubbed his nose and said doubtfully, "Isn't it true that I have a cold? If so, then I have to stay away from Sasuke. If I infect him, I will really regret it for the rest of my life."

"

Uchiha Shisui thought for a while, and then stretched out his hand to the person next to him: "Sister Oiko, if you don't mind, can you give me your hand?"

"Hand?" The Uchiha leader wondered, "Why do these young boys from the Uchiha family like to ask people for their hands so much?" He threw the paper ball into the trash can. Then, he handed the hand to the other person, "Then

Woolen cloth?"

Uchiha Shisui stretched out his hands, put the right hand of the person in front of him in his palm and felt it for a while, and then said seriously: "Sister Oiko, your palms are very warm now, so it should be fine." After a pause, he added, "No.

Is there a saying? People who have a cold will have cold palms and sweat. You don’t have this situation now.”

"...That's it." Uchiha slowly withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and said, "But to be on the safe side, wouldn't it be better to wear a mask? I remember that there is a sundry vending machine next to the drink vending machine.

Just buy a few by the way."

"If this can reassure you..." Uchiha Shisui nodded, "On the other hand, if there are no symptoms when Sasuke comes out of the exam, then there is probably no need to continue wearing it."

"Indeed~"

Let’s go back in time a little bit…

What the Uchiha belt doesn't know is——

In the office of the president of Konoha University.

The principal stood up from his chair and said with an eager expression to the silver-haired man who pushed in the door: "I didn't expect you to come in person."

"This is as it should be." The silver-haired man nodded and said with a polite smile, "Speaking of which, when I came here, I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot."

"Hahahaha, because today is the first day of Konoha University's 'second exam'."

"I see." The silver-haired man nodded again, "Is it that time of year again..." Because the time for the "secondary exam" is freely determined by each school from the end of February to the beginning of March every year, so sometimes

Differences would occur due to various things. Because of his busy schedule, he did not pay special attention to these. Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "I don't know what talents this university will admit this year."

"Of course, the more, the better." The principal said with a smile, "Unfortunately, Mr. Tobirama, you no longer hold regular classes here, and you only occasionally find time to come here to hold open classes."

"When the school was first built, the teaching staff was relatively tight." Qianju Tobirama said with a smile, "I just came here to make up the numbers. Now that everything is on track, I can naturally retire with success."

"Indeed, this way you can have more time to be busy with things. It's just a pity that these new students don't have the blessing of listening to your teachings every day."

"You are exaggerating..."

"Speaking of which," the principal said with a smile, "Mr. Tobirama, I have always been curious about one thing."

"Um?"

"During the years of teaching at this university, the disciple you were most satisfied with was..."

"..."

Because of these words, Senshou Tobirama suddenly fell into deep thought, as if he remembered someone or something. After a moment, he came back to his senses, looked at the principal who was still patiently waiting for his answer, and smiled apologetically,

He gave a relatively smooth answer: "To teachers, every student is a treasure." Among the treasures, he had also seen and had the honor to touch the most dazzling, beautiful, rare and dazzling gem in the world. Unfortunately,

…

"Hahahahaha... That's true." The principal thought while laughing - but, Mr. Tobirama, I asked about "the disciple I am most satisfied with", not "your opinion of the disciple". However, as an adult,

He knows very well when to keep talking and when not to.

The author has something to say: Are you here again? Tobirama. [Squinting]
