There was no need for a full moon.
The moon could also be very bright.
Konoha, the Land of Fire
Konoha 61, late May
Uchiha Main Residence
"What are you being pretentious for! Do we have to wait for a full moon to sit together for a meal? "Uchiha Fugaku frowned and looked at his youngest son sitting diagonally across from him, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"Sasuke just said it casually. Besides, is he wrong? We should sit together for a meal when the moon is full! " Mikoto, who was next to him, glared at Fugaku and interrupted him. Then, she gently picked up food for her youngest son, who lowered his head and was silent.
"Sasuke,
Eat. "
"Yes,
Mother. " Sasuke immediately looked up at his brother sitting next to him. When he received a nod from Itachi, he lowered his head and stuffed the food into his mouth.
But this made the head of the family unhappy again.
Fugaku was still frowning.
"Pick up the bowl.
Where are your manners! Sasuke! You are the second heir of the Uchiha family! You have to eat one bite at a time.
You have to pick up the food with your chopsticks. What's the matter with eating like a silly boy! "
This time, the mistress was also unhappy.
She picked up some food for Sasuke with her chopsticks, then turned her head and glanced at her husband, looking up and down.
"I mean." Fugaku saw that his wife was unhappy, so he quickly added,
"Look at Itachi. He looks so good holding the bowl and eating with small mouthfuls. Sasuke,
Look like your brother. "
Sasuke obediently raised his head and looked at his brother again. His back was straight.
He held the bowl in his hand.
He looked straight ahead. So he had to learn from his brother.
He held the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other. He returned to his usual appearance at the dining table.
Fugaku nodded. "Everyone, continue."
However, Mikoto was unhappy when she saw that her two sons had resumed the "Uchiha family's rule of not talking when eating." She gave her husband a hard kick under the table. "Didn't I tell you to do as I said if you want to have a good relationship with Sasuke? I asked you to take the lead and talk to him, but you picked on the child as soon as you came up. How can you not use your brain when you're an adult? Sasuke to avoid you!
Fugaku lowered his head at his wife's words, but since he had already spoken, he could only grit his teeth and continue eating.
So Mikoto decided to teach her husband a lesson. She picked up a piece of broccoli for her younger son. "Actually, Sasuke, it's not a formal occasion in our own home. You can do whatever you want. Your older brother just feels comfortable sitting up straight, right? Skunk. "
Itachi noticed his mother's gaze and nodded to his younger brother.
And Fugaku was still unwilling to give up. Although he regretted it a little, he saw that his son was wrong. As a father, he could still teach him a lesson.
However, Itachi didn't give his father a chance. He suddenly felt that the atmosphere at dinner was weirder than usual. Finally, his gaze swept past his father's twitching eyes and stopped at the encouraging corner of his mother's mouth. "Actually, Sasuke, the Four Generations once said that ninjas should be used to being on standby at all times, so they should work hard to eat when they can eat. As for the sitting posture when eating? It really has nothing to do with a ninja's strength. "
Then Sasuke almost laughed out loud. He understood that his brother seemed to be beating around the bush to ask his father to avenge him.
"But chewing slowly is good for the absorption of nutrients, and it will prevent stomach problems. So, not talking when eating is a good scientific habit. " As soon as the words left his mouth, the foolish father immediately realized that he had said something wrong again. He could only continue to ask his good wife for help.
"Serves you right." Mikoto smiled and pretended not to see Fugaku's request for help. She continued to put food in her sons' bowl. "Mom also made pork rib soup. Everyone can have a big bowl later."
"Yes, mom." Itachi and Sasuke also habitually put food in their mother's bowl, and at the same time habitually (deliberately) ignored Fugaku.
Poor Fugaku could only pretend not to see the interaction between the mother and children and continue to maintain his posture. He still chewed slowly, but in his heart, it was as if he had knocked over a jar of pickles and couldn't clean it up. He began to feel anxious. Mikoto had become the head of the security department for him and was very busy. Itachi followed Naruto every day and couldn't take half a step away. It was rare that Sasuke was burdened by Naruto and couldn't run out of Konoha. But who would have thought that this kid would rather eat lunch and dinner with his brother every day than go home. But it didn't matter. Wasn't it just leaving him alone at home? Anyway, he was retired, and it was inconvenient for him to move half of his body. It was just looking after the house. However, it wasn't easy for them to sit together for a meal and not say a word. This time, Watergate was merciful and put Mikoto's vacation together with Itachi's. But what about next time?
So the more Fugaku thought about it, the more anxious he became. Finally, he couldn't help but poke his wife with the tip of his foot.
Who would have thought that Mikoto was in the middle of playing pick-up games with her sons and ignored him.
This time, Fugaku was really anxious. There were only a few days of vacation. If he missed it today, who knew what emergency would happen tomorrow? For a ninja on the job, things like holidays are never accurate, okay?
So,
A pair of chopsticks picked up food and placed it in Mikoto's bowl. Then, under the gaze of the other three pairs of eyes, it landed on Itachi's rice. Then, Uchiha Sasuke received the first piece of vegetable from his father. The first piece of vegetable in his life — green cabbage.
There was silence.
"Eat more vegetables to grow taller." Fugaku, who was silently beaten, broke the silence with his thick skin as a politician for many years, "My son can't be shorter than me."
"Well." Mikoto answered with a smile. She was really frightened by her husband just now. Fugaku admitted that he really wanted to have a good talk with his sons. It was not the routine "teaching time" before going to bed every day, but the kind of casual chat like Minato Naruto, where they could talk about anything. But she really didn't expect that her serious husband, who had been expressionless for almost a lifetime, could do this. "In fact, it's easy to surpass your height."
"Then at least he can't be shorter than Naruto." Fugaku followed his wife's words. Although he also felt that it was embarrassing to say such idiotic words, he really didn't want to be avoided by his son anymore. He thought that it was enough to please his eldest son, but Itachi was getting busier and busier. So, as a father, what he should do was to help his son clear the obstacles, not drag him down.
"But things like heredity are actually quite reliable. Sasuke, are you taller now or is Naruto taller? " Mikoto saw that Fugaku was really prepared to cultivate feelings with his youngest son, who had never been close to him, and was very happy to cooperate.
"I, I'm taller." Sasuke reflexively said. Then he immediately reacted and asked his elder brother for help. But when he saw his elder brother's face was also expressionless, he could only quickly swallow the mouthful of rice that was stuffed into his mouth and forgotten to chew before his father gave him the food.
"Then I don't have to worry for the time being." Mikoto looked at Fugaku, who was stuttering after saying a few words, and continued, "Right? Fugaku. "
"Ah, yes, but Sasuke, don't think that if you're taller now, you'll be taller in the future. You know, it's like a ninja … "Before Fugaku could finish his words, he was kicked by Mikoto again.
"A ninja must always be prepared to be defeated by accident." Mikoto smiled and interrupted her husband's habitual preaching. "Right, Fugaku? Do you remember that Watergate was a small bean sprout when he was a child, but when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he suddenly became tall and big all of a sudden? "
"Yes, he grew up in the past few years. I also grew up at this age. So you have to eat well and train well. Don't let Naruto learn from his father and suddenly surpass us. " Fugaku had begun to get into the mood. He pretended to be very natural and picked up food for Sasuke. He also added some food for Itachi. "Itachi, you're only eighteen, and Watergate always likes to work alone. You won't be able to stand it if you don't eat well."
"Yes, father. I know that very well." Itachi had a little understanding of what his parents wanted to do today. He continued to pick up food for his younger brother and supported his father. "Sasuke better be stronger."
"Yes, brother." Sasuke saw the smile in his brother's eyes and the instructions for him to cooperate. He obediently ate the food in his bowl. He didn't quite understand. As the second son of the family, who didn't need to be paid special attention, why was he suddenly cared so much? He always felt that there was a conspiracy. But since his brother said that there was no problem, then there should be no problem — even if his father seemed to be possessed by a ghost today.
.....
Fugaku, there's still a long way to go.
At the same time.
Dinner time at Bo Feng's house.
Qimu Old House.
"Dad, no leftovers." Naruto looked at the half bowl of rice in Watergate's bowl and frowned.
"But this is the second bowl, Naruto." Watergate supported his head with one hand and poked with the chopsticks with the other.
"Eat it, dad. It's about the last few mouthfuls." Naruto pushed the plate in front of his father. "If the teachers at school didn't teach wrongly — that it's shameful to waste — you wrote the big words in the Konoha cafeteria yourself, right?"
"That was a period of financial difficulty. Now it's not. Have some confidence in dad's economic recovery policy. "Watergate sighed." I really can't eat anymore. Besides, if I eat too much at night, I won't be able to sleep. "
"But your food intake today is still not the standard. Comrade Naruto who is malnourished, don't forget that you didn't eat lunch today. You have to make up for it. "Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Ah, ah, but I ate biscuits and a big apple," Watergate retorted.
"How is that a proper meal? How can you skip a meal just because the meeting is delayed?" Naruto was a little anxious. "When you came home just now, I should have taken a picture of your pale face. You scared me to death. I thought you were going to the hospital again today. "
"I'm a little tired today, but it's not as bad as you say." Watergate Daddy laughed.
"Alright, alright. Calm down. I was wrong. I'll pay attention next time."
"Then finish your meal."
"No."
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Dang."
Kakashi poked Naruto under the table with the tip of her foot and glanced at the boiled egg in the bowl beside her.
Naruto understood. His eyes lit up. He immediately took an egg, peeled it, and brought it to his father's mouth. "Okay, the last protein. Open your mouth."
Watergate shut his mouth and shook his head.
Naruto's gaze finally became stern. "Open your mouth and eat it."
“NO。” Watergate continued to shake his head. He noticed his son's imposing gaze. He was a little irritable and a little proud, but he really had no interest in the egg-smelling boiled egg.
"Dad, eat it. It's not bad for you." Naruto put the egg in Watergate's mouth. "Come on, ah."
"Ah." Watergate finally opened his mouth and obediently ate the boiled egg that he hated.
"That's right, Dad." Naruto was very satisfied. He nodded and picked up two walnuts and pressed them in his hand. With a snap, the white flesh of the walnuts was exposed.
However, Watergate felt a lot of pressure just looking at them.
"In half an hour, you'll eat three." Naruto smiled at his father, revealing his little white teeth. Then he turned his head and winked at Eero, who was playing chess with himself and drinking juice.
Receiving the signal, Eero quickly took out two oranges and pressed them into a glass of orange juice. Then, he brought it to Naruto with sand.
Watergate glared at Eero, but Eero couldn't see it.
However, our Young Master Naruto saw it. "Dad, drink — the last of tonight's sugar."
Watergate Daddy could only slowly drink the juice under his son's stern gaze. As he drank, he started to feel a little dizzy.
"Are you sleepy, Dad?" Naruto picked out a few good-looking walnuts and placed them beside his father's hand.
"Yes, I'm sleepy when I'm full." Watergate drank the last of the juice in one gulp and put the walnuts into his mouth helplessly.
"That's right, Dad." Naruto nodded in satisfaction and reached out to pull his father. "It's rare that you don't have to work overtime at night. Sleep early is the way to go. Let's go wash up and sleep."
Watergate swallowed the walnuts and sighed. He stood up and smiled for a few seconds. Then, he lifted his son onto his shoulder and said, "Ah, it's a good idea to sleep early and wake up early."
However, Naruto wasn't having it. He was the one who was educating his father seriously. Why did it suddenly seem like he was the one being lectured by his father? "Dad, put me down."
"No." Minato yawned, squinted, and waved to Gaara. "You guys should go to bed early too."
"Yes, Sir." Eero nodded.
"Otherwise, you won't grow tall." Watergate laughed and disappeared with his son.
"Yes, Eero, you really aren't tall enough." Kakashi put down his book and sneered at Eero.
"It can't be helped. Kazekage isn't tall enough." Eero also sneered. "But Kakashi -san, Sir was talking about you guys."
"He misspoke. As long as I'm not compared to that old pervert Jiraiya, I'm not short." Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "And you, you should be more respectful to your benefactor. The reason you can sleep until you wake up naturally is because of my sealing technique. Otherwise, you would be tortured by Shukaku and lose sleep every night. You would definitely be shorter. Come on, stop playing with the chess pieces and wash the dishes. "
"It's your turn today."
"Since you're living under someone else's roof, learn to be discerning, brat."
Well, bored people like to bicker. What about people to talk about?
The next day came as I slept.
2: 55 AM.
The whole of Konoha was quiet. Even the red-light district that was specially approved to ignore the "Curfew Order" and could only stop after midnight gradually quieted down. At this time, whether it was the merchants with large amounts of money or the Konoha Ninjas with good welfare, they all obediently lay down on their beds. Cough, bed.
Anyway, the bright street lights gradually dimmed to a subtle state. The patrol team of the Konoha Security Division was silently walking on the empty street under the dim light. At the same time, the patrol team of the Anbu security division was also quietly shuttling back and forth in the shadows of the buildings. These young people were seriously following the schedule given to them by their superiors. They were the most basic force of the entire Konoha Security Division. Therefore, cleaning up the children who didn't return home at night and the drunkards who slept on the ground was also the responsibility of the Konoha Security Division.
In any case, The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed had already sent two ninja students who overtrained and fell asleep on the training ground back to their dormitory with his three young novices. They didn't need to care about those who had families and parents. They also sent two drunkards who got into a fight to the security division that crossed their route. Drunkards would be grounded and sentenced to deduct their wages and bonuses. They would also have to sweep the streets with brooms or clean the toilets in the Naruto building … even if they retired!
In short, compared to guarding important prisoners in the prison, the Anbu patrol team with three shifts wasn't boring at all. You could always find an interesting time to rotate. But The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed was still depressed. At first, when he was sent to cause trouble for the Kazekage, it was normal for him to be killed as a traitor of the Water Country. After that, he was sent to the school to monitor the Ichibi Force Of Human Column and protect Konoha's seedlings. But a few days ago, he finally received a notice that he didn't have to silently accompany Eero to school every day. He thought that he could finally have a proper mission, but why did the transfer order say that he was officially appointed as the captain of the Anbu patrol team? That damn Kakashi! What do you mean by "Didn't you get this position when you came to Konoha?" When he first came to Konoha, he was a bastard who temporarily replaced his wife to give birth to a child and go home to take care of her post-natal confinement! Temporary! Kakashi, can't you read?!
"Captain Zabuza."
"Anbu patrol team rules, second paragraph, fifth article – Keep quiet while on duty." Zabuza turned around and glared at the first subordinate behind him who was only 16 years old. Why are there so many children in Konoha? Why are there so many unruly teenagers everywhere? Well, it's true that there are more war orphans after the war, but is it necessary to bring them all back to Konoha and train them all into ninjas?! Not everyone is suitable to be a ninja! Some people may still be Genin and Chunin even if they work hard for a lifetime! Genin and Chunin are cannon fodder. Since they are cannon fodder, it's better to recruit them at the last minute! Golden Flash, is your brain filled with water?! Konoha's finances have been in a favorable position for more than ten years because of this!
"But captain." The second ninja behind Zabuza showed his head. "We're going to turn."
Zabuza glared at the 15-year-old subordinate again and thought for a while. "Yes, the route map shows that we should go straight."
"Will you two die if you say a few more words? This is the captain's first patrol, so he doesn't know." The person behind also showed his head, scolded his two companions first, and then explained to Zabuza. "We should indeed turn. Hatake's house in front of us is Naruto's station now, so it's the territory of Naruto's guards. In order to avoid someone pretending to be an Anbu and causing a security breach in Naruto's guards, the captain of Naruto's night shift only recognizes his guards. Our patrol team should retreat by default to show that there is no problem with the team. "
Zabuza looked at the smiling 17-year-old subordinate and didn't speak again. He glanced at Kakashi's house in front of him and turned the corner according to his subordinate's instructions. He had to admit that the red-eyed rabbit was quite smart. With this arrangement, even if these weak Anbu were unknowingly replaced, they wouldn't be able to get close to Golden Flash. Anyway, if they got close, they would just kill them directly. Moreover, if the Dark Department wanted to eliminate different people, they would have an open and aboveboard reason to deliberately kill people to silence them. Who told you to enter other people's territory? Zabuza sighed as he recalled the unity in his three new subordinates' eyes and tone of voice. 'I was actually warned by the brat — Konoha's famous collectivist values ~ How dangerous.'
However, he suddenly felt that this job was beginning to be interesting. Since Kakashi had placed him here as a chess piece, he might as well stay here. After all, Haku was already familiar with Konoha's life and was ready to settle down. Where else could he go? However, that bastard Kakashi still deserved to be cursed 100 times a day.
So at the same time.
"Achoo!" In Hatake's old house, Kakashi, who was tossing and turning in bed in a daze, sneezed again and woke up completely.
Progress is the ability to make mistakes meaningful.
