Chapter 3 Gifts and Eyes (5000)

"Crack—bang."

The sound of closing and opening doors sounded one after another.

When Yiyong returned home, he subconsciously glanced at the shoe cabinet next to the entrance.

A lot of five pairs of slippers means that no one will go home.

【Great. 】

[No one bothers me to cook. 】

Thinking of the last time he came back late, Itachi fried eggs for Sasuke by himself, and ended up spreading the eggs all over the kitchen, he was a little annoyed.

But seeing Itachi didn't cook the eggs well, his expression was more annoyed than him, and there was even an extra point in his left eye, Yiyong didn't say anything more, but from then on, he never wanted to see his brother in the kitchen again.

And the food cooked by my mother, how should I put it, tastes okay, but not as good as him.Sasuke, who is used to the meals made by Yoshiyuki, doesn't like the change of taste very much, which will inevitably make his mother feel disappointed.

To sum up, the kitchen of Uchiha's house should be left to Uchiha Yoshiyuki alone.

However, what happened was——

"Did Yiyong come back?"

A clear and pleasant voice came from the kitchen.

Yiyong's eyes froze, and a faint red light suddenly burst out of the dark blue iris.

Mikoto Uchiha came out of the kitchen stepping on cleaning shoe covers and carrying a mop, and looked at her youngest son with a smile on her face.

"Mom came back from get off work early, is Yiyong happy?"

Since Giyuu started to take over the housework and Fugaku's strict dissuasion was ineffective, Mikoto, who had nothing to do, went back to take the students who graduated from the ninja school.

However, considering that today is the birthday of the two youngest sons, she gave the students a holiday and came back early to clean up after a long absence.

Yi Yong saw that his mother was not holding the kitchen utensils, but was just cleaning, the red light in his eyes gradually faded.

Looking at the floor that hadn't completely dried up, he thought for a while, then turned around and was about to open the door and go outside until the floor was dry before coming in.

Mikoto appeared between Giyuu and Damen with a teleportation technique.She put her hips on her hips, pursed her lips, and pretended to be unhappy.In effect, she was impersonating an old classmate with red hair.

"Why, don't you say hello when you see your mother? I will be sad."

She, Uchiha Mikoto, has three sons with different personalities, so the means of dealing with them are naturally different.

The boss, Uchiha Itachi, is deep-minded but mature, treat him as an adult, and he will communicate with you openly (probably maybe possible).

The second child, Uchiha Sasuke, is spoiled by his elder brother and younger brother, but he eagerly longs for his father's affirmation. As long as it involves Fugaku and Itachi's expectations of him, he will temporarily put aside his mischievousness and be serious and obedient.

And the youngest Uchiha Yoshiyuki is the most difficult to deal with among the three.

Once Uchiha Fugaku asked his family members not to talk to him for a week in order to let Giyuu take the initiative to communicate with others, to see who survived whom.

Of course, it was Yi Yong who won the game in the end, but it was a worry for the couple.

The child Yiyong, let’s say he is naive, but he often has the kind of "I have seen everything" and "nothing to care about" eyes. Get over it.

He neither longed for the praise of others nor the attention of his parents, but quietly took over the responsibility of taking care of Itachi and Sasuke's basic necessities of life.When he is not talking, he is even more like the eldest son of the family than Itachi.

But let’s say he is mature, he doesn’t care about other people’s winks at all, he will do rude things from time to time, express his most direct thoughts without any hindrance, and easily hurt other people’s feelings.

For example, a few days ago, Sasuke and Itachi learned the art of fireball, and after finally blowing out a little flame, they ran to Giyuu to show off.

No one can think of the way he has always taken care of Sasuke with righteous courage, but he actually blurted out a sentence——

"Are you learning to light candles?"

Because of this, Sasuke didn't say a word to Giyuu until today.Of course, he eats as he pleases.

But for such a kid who only told the truth, Mikoto couldn't understand what he was thinking at all.

If I want this child to communicate with me, I have to use a slightly exaggerated intrusive posture, almost stalking and attacking him continuously.

And he seems unable to distinguish those subtle emotions, Mikoto can only make Giyuu feel her mental state by pretending to be dramatically angry or sad.

Sure enough, seeing his mother blocking the door with an angry expression on his face, Giyuu stopped moving.Then he opened his mouth and greeted——

"Is work not going well today?"

Uchiha Mikoto decided to throw in the towel.

She squatted down and grabbed Yiyong's rigid face, pulled out a stiff smile, and asked a little depressed: "Aren't you happy that I'm back?"

"Don't you come back every day?"

Yi Yong tilted his head, "It's only worth being happy if we haven't seen each other for a long time."

For example, seeing Tanjiro survive a dangerous mission, Nezuko is also safe and sound.

For example, when I returned to Sagiri Mountain, I saw smoke rising from the hut of Master Rinaki from afar.

For example, he had a premonition that he was going to die, and when he passed by Fengzhu Bushichuan's house, he heard that guy and his neighbors quarreling about "are there ghosts in the world", and he seemed to be able to live for a while.

Knowing that everyone may lose their lives at any time, but they still survived, this is something to be happy about.

"I lost to you."

Uchiha Mikoto lowered her head.

This is something she would never do in front of Itachi and Sasuke.

She glanced at the ingredients in the plastic bag, but was not bothered by the price.

"Aren't you tired of carrying such a heavy thing back by yourself?"

"There are breaks on the road."

Giyuu said that when he met that yellow hair, Miss Hinata's family, and Kakashi, he had temporarily put down the things in his hands.

"Hey... salmon. It's another ingredient I don't know how to handle, so it seems I can't help you."

Uchiha Mikoto picked up the bag and walked into the kitchen, and asked by the way: "So what is Giyuu planning to do today?"

"Caviar sushi, bonito rice balls, sashimi, radish and salmon stew, pan-fried salmon belly, and three-color meatballs and ice cream for dessert..."

"It sounds like you have an appetite. And it's what Itachi and Sasuke love to eat."

Meiqin turned her head and said jokingly, "Then why isn't there anything Daddy likes to eat?"

"It's not his birthday today."

Giyuu replied seriously, "Today's dishes are mainly to please Sasuke, he hasn't spoken to me for a week."

Before the Armageddon, Tanjiro taught him to prepare and feed other people's favorite food at any time, so that they can get closer to others.

For example, after he carried Hagi cakes with him, his relationship with Immortal Kawa Minya was much closer (he thinks).

Sasuke should be about the same, the personalities of the two are quite similar.

After hearing what her son said, Meiqin hesitated to speak.

[Is it really okay for you to speak so bluntly? 】

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Niyong, do you know why Sasuke didn't talk to you?"

"do not know."

【really. 】

"Aren't you bothered then? Don't want to know why?"

"You don't have to know."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki put on the little apron Itachi made for him, stepped on a small bench, pulled out a half-meter-long salmon from a plastic bag, put it into the tank, and punched him in the head.

He said confidently: "Anyway, as long as you have eaten this meal, the problem will definitely be solved."

"Snapped."

Uchiha Mikoto supported the door frame.

Why is it so difficult to communicate with this child! ! !

10 minute later.

"I'm back!" x2.

"Is it Itachi and Sasuke?"

Uchiha Mikoto walked towards the entrance like a wanderer on an iceberg seeing a stove.

"Mom!" Sasuke threw off his shoes and rushed up to hug Mikoto's waist, looking extremely happy.

【If you can share half of Sasuke's stickiness with Giyuu...】

"Did you give your subordinates a day off today?"

Itachi stood at the door, arranging Sasuke's shoes neatly, and saw the reason why his mother was at home at a glance.

"Because my lovely children have birthdays."

Miqin regained her usual self-confidence as a mother. While stroking Sasuke's prickly hair, she asked, "Did you take Sasuke out for training? Why is this child covered in sweat and smells like an animal... "

"I didn't practice today. My brother took me to Grandma Cat and gave me a birthday present."

Five-year-old Sasuke's voice was lively and sharp, and he took out a rusty shuriken from his pants pocket.

"Oh, what is this?"

Uchiha Mikoto took a closer look at the shuriken, it seemed to be a very old style, so she followed Sasuke's words and asked.

"The cat mother-in-law said that this is a shuriken from the era when Konoha was just established, and it is older than grandpa. Back then, she saw this shuriken flying from a far away place and broke the first generation of Hokage. Wood clone, so it is very commemorative!"

Sasuke held the shuriken in the air with both hands, and released a heroic declaration.

"I will definitely become a stronger ninja in the future. Even the original Hokage himself will never be my opponent."

Hearing what Sasuke said, a trace of worry flashed in Mikoto's eyes. Itachi was keenly aware of this, and whispered in Sasuke's ear: "The first generation of Hokage and the ancestors of the Uchiha clan established the village together. They are all great people. It's not an enemy, so don't say anything disrespectful to Hokage-sama outside in the future."

Uchiha Mikoto also nodded, "Sasuke wants to listen to my brother, do you understand?"

"I know."

Sasuke pursed his lips a little unhappy, but agreed anyway.Although his elder brother said things differently from those of his peers in the clan, he certainly chose to believe in his elder brother.

After correcting Sasuke's mistake, Uchiha Itachi looked in the direction of the kitchen: "Is Giyuu going to cook today too? Today is his birthday, or I'll do it—"

"when!"

There was a loud noise in the kitchen, and Sasuke almost jumped up in fright.

"What happened, Giyuu?"

Mikoto asked.

"The kitchen knife fell on the floor."

Jiyong's voice sounded calm and peaceful.

"Be careful."

Although Yoshiyuki has been cooking for two years, Uchiha Mikoto is still a little worried about him. After all, deboning salmon is very troublesome, and even professional chefs will inevitably scratch it.

She glanced at Sasuke, who had put on a bad face since hearing Giyuu's voice, and smiled slightly, "Sasuke, let's go take a bath with mom."

"no."

Sasuke shook his head without hesitation, "I want to wash with my brother."

Uchiha Mikoto gave the eldest son a look, then nodded her chin in the direction of the kitchen.

The latter understood immediately.

"Mom came back from get off work early on purpose, just wanted to do something for you."

Uchiha Itachi plucked Sasuke's hair, tapped his forehead lightly with his finger, "Don't make her sad."

Then, he added, "If Sasuke is obedient, I can continue to accompany you to practice the fireball tomorrow..."

"Then let's talk about it!"

Sasuke was about to jump up happily, and then looked at his mother, "I'll go and take off the dirty clothes first!"

After finishing speaking, he excitedly ran towards the second floor, and made a loud "hum" on purpose when he passed the kitchen.Seeing that Yiyong didn't turn his head to look at him, he ran even faster.

"The bravery is entrusted to you."

After Uchiha Mikoto gave Itachi a mouth shape, she went to the bathroom to fill in the water.

Itachi stood at the kitchen door for a while, as if he was mentally preparing for something.

The moment he stepped into the kitchen, Uchiha Yoshiyuki turned around holding the knife, and threw the picked out salmon bones into an iron basin, making a clattering sound.

"what are you doing?"

Giyuu's tone carried a hint of caution.

【Is he going to cook for me? 】

The pot that Itachi used to fry eggs last time can no longer be used, so Yiyong took it to the street as a milk pot for stray cats.

"Happy birthday, volunteer."

Itachi walked straight over, the smile on his face was not as obvious as that of Mikoto and Shisui, it was just a shallow arc.

"Sasuke likes the gift I gave him very much. I just don't know how you will react after receiving the gift, so I'm a little nervous."

This is not a lie.

Obviously, he was the child who grew up in his arms, but Yiyong had been difficult for him to understand since he was very young.

For example, Itachi knows all Sasuke's likes and dislikes very clearly, but for Giyuu, it is a bottomless lake.

Others think that doing housework is Yoshiyuki's hobby, but Uchiha Itachi doesn't think so. On the contrary, he thinks it is more like an obligation that Yoshiyuki asks himself to complete, otherwise there is no need to be so careful, and there is no need to do it every day.

In addition, there are many strange things about Yiyong.

For example, one day a month ago, he accompanied Yiyong to go shopping for vegetables. When he passed by a ninja shop, the ninja Moonlight Hayate in the village was buying ninja knives.The sound he made when he drew his sword caught Giyuu's attention.

When the moonlight blast covered the blade with chakra and dyed it, Uchiha Itachi couldn't forget the expression on Yoshioka's face when he looked at the blade.

In his eyes, a light brighter than the blade of a knife flashed, his whole face changed from cold to quiet and gentle, as if the lifeless lake water like a mirror was wrinkled by the warm wind.

Itachi still can't figure out what happened then.Originally, he wanted to buy a knife for Yiyong directly today, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, Yiyong lacked interest in becoming a ninja.

Shaking his head lightly, after dispelling the doubts in his heart, Uchiha Itachi took out an eight centimeters long and wide photo frame from his pocket and handed it to Giyuu.

Yiyong cast his gaze up, and his gaze immediately stayed there, unable to move for a long time.

"This is an ancient phoenix butterfly specimen."

Uchiha Itachi couldn't figure out Yoshiyuki's emotions, so he introduced slowly: "It's a scholar from the Snow Country, who discovered it from the depths of the snowfield's hard ice, and used ice escape ninjutsu to take it out.

"I don't know much about butterflies, but the oily ninja who sold it to me said that this blue-purple butterfly is very rare. It looks beautiful in the sun, but it has the ability to let go. It’s a pity that the poison of an elephant has become extinct.”

"you……"

Uchiha Yoshiyuki put down the kitchen knife, wiped his hands on the apron, and then took the specimen hesitantly, waves appeared in his deep eyes.

In his eyes, it was not just a butterfly, but nine different figures overlapped together.

"Why did you send me this?"

This is Yi Yong's most unexpected gift.

"Because the only things I'm sure you'll like are wisterias and butterflies."

Itachi, who was still very young, smiled shyly, "Every time you meet a wisteria tree and find butterflies chasing that expression, I like to see it very much, as if a stone statue suddenly came to life. If Mom and Dad It can be seen that it should have the same feeling.

"How about it, Giyuu, this gift..."

Itachi Uchiha paused, and asked expectantly, "Do you like it?"

In the past, Giyuu's reaction was always unexpected.

What he was most worried about was that Giyuu stuffed back the same steel kunai he gave to Sasuke like last year, and then said: "I am different from Sasuke."

For his younger brother, it was simply a nightmare.

"An extinct butterfly?"

Yoshiyuki's voice sounded a little hoarse, and then suddenly increased, becoming clearer than ever before: "I like it very much. Thank you, Itachi."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi was stunned.

Although Giyuu's expression rarely changes.

But if you like the gift, shouldn't you at least raise your eyebrows?
Why did he look like he was suddenly drained of all his strength, but instead became more depressed than usual, as if recalling something terrible.

If Itachi didn't know that Giyuu wouldn't lie at all, he would have thought that he lied about liking this gift to comfort him.

Yiyong put the specimen on the window sill facing him in the kitchen, then lowered his head as if no one else was there, picked up the kitchen knife and processed the ingredients silently, but his thoughts had drifted away.

Itachi Uchiha felt that now was not the time to speak, but he was worried about Giyuu's state, so he took out the radish in the plastic bag and cut it into pieces.

In this way, the two of them were silent in the kitchen, but all the ingredients were turning into meals in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi wasn't focused on cooking, so he didn't make any fuss this time.

A full hour later, Giyuu put the radishes and fried salmon in the saucepan and lit the flame of the gas stove.

A strange voice appeared in his mind.

[Stay close to Itachi Uchiha for an hour.Breath of Flame analysis completion rate +0.02%, the current resolution is 20.02%. 】

[After the analysis is completed and your breath of flame reaches the normal level, you can revive Yan Zhu·Purgatory Xingshourou. 】

Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened his eyes wide, with intense red light flashing in them, which caught Uchiha Itachi's attention.

"Yiyong, you..."

Itachi hadn't finished speaking when Yiyong's mouth and nose suddenly burst into long white air. The bench leg under his feet snapped and broke out of thin air. He fell to the ground and passed out on the spot.
