Chapter 45 - Chapter 43: Itachi's Birthday

"Itachi, from today on, in the name of the Third Hokage, I grant you the position of captain of the Anbu team. I hope you will work hard."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding a pipe in his mouth, patted Itachi on the shoulder and said.

"Third Hokage-sama..." Itachi looked respectful, "I have only joined the Anbu for a short time, is this not too soon?"

"Nothing wrong."

Sarutobi smiled kindly.

"You are an excellent young man. The village needs young people and vitality. Sometimes adding some fresh blood is also a good choice."

"Besides, Itachi, I believe in you!"

Sarutobi was smiling.

Itachi bowed his head.

That look seemed respectful, but in fact, it covered the confusion in his eyes. The contradiction between the village and the clan...

The contradiction between the two is simply difficult to reconcile, and the clan members, what they show is only arrogance and pride.

But the village...

If a battle really breaks out, there is only one result for such an Uchiha.

Destruction.

Itachi thought of the man behind Sarutobi, the man who assists the Hokage, Danzo.

With his cruelty, the Uchiha clan will be completely destroyed.

The only one who could stay was Itachi.

Not even Sasuke.

"Don't worry so much..."

Suddenly, a big hand came down and gently patted Itachi's shoulder.

"I will handle the Uchiha matter and try to find the best solution."

"In fact, we may have forgotten that Uchiha is also the Uchiha of Konoha. Sometimes it may be a better choice to try to trust them."

"Third Hokage-sama..."

Itachi looked up, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

He never thought that the Third Hokage would have such a broad mind, but Uchiha...

"You go and do your work first," Sarutobi said.

"Yes." Itachi turned around.

Before leaving, Sarutobi suddenly stopped Itachi.

"These days, the village and Uchiha are in a sensitive period. Don't contact Sato Akira and Naruto so frequently, otherwise, they may be implicated."

"I understand."

Itachi nodded and left immediately.

In his eyes, something was gradually becoming firm.

...

"Itachi always feels that taking all the responsibilities on himself will bring happiness to others. He is not even afraid of being misunderstood by others."

"He is very stubborn and great."

Beside a small river.

Sato Akira sat on the bridge with his legs dangling.

Next to him.

The woman had beautiful long black hair, a beauty spot under her right eye, a purple cheongsam, and wrist guards.

Of course, the iron Konoha forehead protector on her forehead showed her identity as a Genin.

Her name is Uchiha Izumi, and she graduated from the Ninja School not long ago.

Sato Akira ran into her on his way back.

It was not fate, because Izumi came to find Sato Akira specifically.

For Itachi.

Izumi is a very beautiful girl, and very gentle, probably the ideal type of many men.

However, Sato Akira shook his head. This is Itachi's girlfriend.

At this age, there should be few people who can snatch Itachi's girlfriend, right?

Izumi nodded, "Itachi-kun, that's true."

Sato Akira laughed, "But it's often this kind of Itachi that has a special charm that makes people like him!"

Listening to this, Izumi didn't know what she remembered, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

"Izumi likes Itachi, right?"

Sato Akira turned his head and asked suddenly.

"Ah?"

Uchiha Izumi, who was suddenly asked, was stunned for a moment, and then her face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.

But in the end, she still nodded and lowered her head.

"Itachi too."

Izumi was a little confused.

Sato Akira continued: "Itachi likes Izumi too."

"Oh."

It was just a simple answer, but at this moment, Izumi was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

That was the look of knowing the feelings of the person she liked, happy, but with a little fear.

Finally, Izumi finally plucked up the courage.

"Itachi's birthday is in a few days. I want to prepare a gift for him, but I don't know what to give him. Please help me."

This is why Izumi came.

Itachi's birthday is coming soon.

I'm afraid Itachi himself didn't notice the upcoming day. He is very busy these days, busy with Anbu affairs and Uchiha affairs.

But Izumi remembered.

That's good.

"You don't need to give him too many things. If possible, give him a few strings of meatballs, the three-color meatballs you often eat."

"But..." Izumi hesitated, "Will Itachi like that kind of thing? He rarely eats it normally?"

"Yes, he will." Sato Akira smiled.

"Thank you, Sato Akira." Izumi stood up and prepared to leave.

However, after she took a few steps, she suddenly turned back and saluted Sato Akira.

"Sato Akira, please don't tell Itachi that I was here. I want to give him a surprise. Please!"

Sato Akira agreed with a smile.

Very simple love.

Very simple child.

What Itachi lacked was never a gift, he lacked company.

It is hard to imagine how a child who slaughtered his entire clan at the age of thirteen and was burdened with the truth, how he got through it.

He didn't even tell his childhood sweetheart, Izumi, about his little secret of liking sweets.

Itachi!

You said you like rainy days, is it because only on rainy days can you cry more freely without being noticed?

Izumi is a very good girl.

She can accompany you.

I agree to this marriage on your behalf.

Looking at the river flowing under the setting sun, Sato Akira did not get up, but stared quietly.

Until...

"Brother, we're home!"

Naruto's voice.

Sato Akira turned around and smiled happily.

"Here we are!"

The little head rushed up, and because he ran too fast, he almost knocked down Sasuke next to him who was pretending to be calm.

Naruto threw himself into Sato Akira's arms, and Sato Akira looked behind him when he had a chance.

"Sasuke, do you want to come with us?"

"Oh."

Sasuke looked reluctant, but still came over. When he held Sato Akira's hand, a trace of joy flashed in his little eyes.

The three of them went home.

Happily.

If there is no choice, who would like loneliness?

Squeak!

The door opened.

Kakashi, who had worked hard all day, lay exhausted on the bed. At this moment, his mind was full of Sato Akira's words before he left.

In fact, swordsmanship may be more suitable for you!

Get up.

Kakashi looked at the house in confusion.

The furnishings in the house were still the same as when his father was there, and he had never moved them.

Even when some things were no longer usable, Kakashi still put them in the original position.

Because he was afraid that once he moved, the house would change.

The more he moved, the fewer traces of his father would be left.

Until it was completely lost and could never be found again.

He was very strong and was a famous copy ninja outside, but at home, he was just an ordinary person who longed for family affection.

No matter how strong the Sharingan was, it could copy ninjutsu and copy movements, but it could not copy the family affection in his heart.

It could not copy the taste of his father.

Kakashi took out a box that he had treasured for a long time and had never opened.

There was only a short knife in the box.

This knife was called White Fang.

It was his father's favorite weapon when he was alive.

At this moment, Kakashi held it in his hand, gripping it tightly
