"Then you don't have to pinch me......" Huali touched her cheeks, which were still a little hot and painful, "By the way, why are you here?"

"I'm going on a long-term mission tomorrow," Shisui lowered his eyes as he looked at her, then lowered his voice as he said, "Because I made a promise to Kakashi before, I have to have someone watch you in my place while I'm away." ”

"Looking at me?" Hanari stole a glance at the proprietress Miyun sitting behind the counter, making sure she didn't pay attention to this side before continuing to speak, "I won't do anything, I haven't had a holiday with Konoha again." ”

"Whether you do it or not, I can't live up to the trust of the three generations," Shisui smiled with crooked eyes, "Don't worry, the person who replaced me is my good friend." ”

"......" Huali's hand on the windowsill gradually tightened, she raised her head and looked at his eyes seriously, "Zhishui, you don't believe me, do you?"

"No, I believe in you," Shisui shook his head, then sighed lowly, "It should be said that it is precisely because of faith that I hope that you can get rid of the identity of the object of surveillance, and if I don't fulfill my promise, the three generations will also be suspicious." ”

“…… Okay, I see," Hanari lowered her eyes and took a step back, widening the distance between her and him, "Who's the one who replaces you?"

Her face was blocked by the bangs on her forehead, and Shisui couldn't see her expression, his eyes sank, and he replied in a low voice, "Uchiha Itachi." ”

Uchiha Itachi, Shisui's good friend, Hanashi always thought that it should be a teenager about the same age as him, but he didn't expect that the person who came was a little boy who was not too tall, and he looked like he was about ten years old.

However, although he was young, his aura was unexpectedly mature, he raised his head and glanced at Huali expressionlessly, then retracted his gaze, and said in a voice with a hint of immaturity: "C-level mission." ”

Huali tilted her head suspiciously, until she saw the forehead guard on his forehead, she realized that he came over to "watch" that he should not be helping to stop the water, but a task.

Moreover, there seems to be a D below C, so she should lament that she doesn't even fall within the scope of D-class missions.

"I've seen you once," Itachi looked up at Hanali, who was taller than him, "You kept looking at him the day before yesterday when he was buying fruit, do you know?"

"It should ...... It's an acquaintance, right?" Huali said with some uncertainty, she couldn't tell what the relationship between the water and Zhishui was now, they used to like each other, but now they forgot each other, in a sense, it was still a little embarrassing.

"......" Itachi nodded to indicate that he understood, "I'll do my job well, just do your business as usual." ”

Itachi was really on a mission, and if other ninjas wanted to spy on her, they would usually hide on the roof or in a location where she wouldn't be seen, but Itachi sat in the shop in the open, ordered a dessert, and stared at her tightly while eating.

After Meiyun looked at him several times, she finally couldn't help but secretly patted Huali on the shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Is that child your acquaintance?"

"Well, he's a friend of mine," Hua Li curled her fingers in her hair a little embarrassed, "Well, he may be staying here for a while now, Sister Meiyun doesn't have to worry too much." ”

"No, it's just that the kid is so cute, it doesn't matter if you don't want to," Miyun covered her mouth and snickered, "The people of the Uchiha family are really good-looking." ”

…… The Uchiha family.

Although he hasn't been here for a long time, from the words of the people around him, Hanashi can almost guess that the Uchiha is probably a famous big family in Konoha.

When she was young, her grandfather also said that the Yakumo family was a famous psychic family, but why there were only a few people left now, she didn't know the reason for this.

After nightfall, the customers in the shop began to gradually leave, and after Hanari had finished her day's work and put away the tables, chairs and benches, she suddenly found that Itachi was still standing by the wall, just looking at her without saying a word.

Hanali: "......"

Don't you want to be so dedicated!

Although she was complaining vigorously in her heart, Hua Li still showed a smile like a confidant sister: "Itachi should almost go home, otherwise your parents will be worried." ”

"No," Itachi shook his head, "I've already told them that I'm out on a long-term mission. ”

He means he's going to stare at himself 24 hours a day?

Huali pulled the corners of her mouth a little speechlessly, and looked at Meiyun for help, Meiyun just hung a rest sign on the door, and after noticing Huali's gaze for help, Meiyun tilted her head and thought about it, and then nodded righteously: "I know, I'll lend you a quilt." ”

That's not what she meant!

Huali wanted to cry without tears and looked at Meiyun hard, hoping that she could react, and the Itachi on the side had already said with a serious expression: "Thank you." ”

"Eh, no thanks," Miyun smiled as she covered her face with her hands, "You can call me anytime you need anything." ”

Completely Neglected Hanali: "......"

Meiyun carried the bed to Hanali's room and went out, Hanashi stood in the room and looked at Itachi for a while, then sighed and fell on her bed: "You are free, I will sleep." ”

Itachi nodded silently, turned off the light like an obedient child, and quietly got into the bed and lay down, not even breathing softly.

If Hanashi hadn't known that Itachi was sleeping there, she would have barely felt that there was a second person in the room.

Lying on her side on the bed, she quietly looked at the weasel who was sleeping there motionless, and she suddenly felt that she was too cold to the weasel?

Because Itachi is too mature and will always make her automatically ignore his age, Hanashi turned over in the dark, and sure enough, it would be better to be gentle with him tomorrow.

When she was asleep, Hua Li felt that someone was staring at her in the haze, opened her eyes slightly, and suddenly found a person standing next to the bed, and she jumped up from the bed in a frightened spirit, only to see that it was the ferret standing there.

"......" Huali squinted and lifted the curtains, it was still gray outside, she sighed and lay back again, "What are you doing, it's not dawn yet." ”

"It's time to get up, it's dawn. Itachi paused, and saw that Huali had retracted into the quilt, so he decisively crossed over to her and pulled the curtain next to the bed, and some dazzling sunlight suddenly poured in from the window.

Huali, who was hiding in the quilt, frowned and struggled for a while, but slowly sat up from the bed, staring at him with messy hair and a resentful face: "Even if the water stops, it won't disturb my sleep!"

As soon as these words came out, Hanashi and Itachi were stunned, and Itachi looked at her strangely: "Haven't you only been here in Konoha for a few days?"

She looked away a little stiffly, even she didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing, after all, she shouldn't remember anything about Zhishui and what had happened to her.

"This, I...... I'm kidding, haha......" Hanari explained with a smile, and Itachi couldn't help frowning as she looked at her obviously weak eyes: "...... Rise and shine. ”

"Uh, I see," Hanari got up quickly, then pushed him out, "I want to change my clothes, you go out first." ”

After opening the store, Hanashi skillfully set up all the tables and chairs, and then prepared the ingredients in the back kitchen, while Itachi ordered another dessert early in the morning and sat there.

"It's not good for your health to eat so sweet early in the morning, and it will cause tooth decay," Hanali walked up to Itachi and placed the vegetable salad in front of him, "Eat this." ”

"......" Itachi was silent for a moment, but nodded, "Thank you." ”

Huali pursed her lips, how could this child be so old at such a young age, when she was as old as a ferret......

Speaking of which, she had just lost a loved one when Itachi was the age, and then she had set a goal of revenge in her heart at that time, and since then there seems to be nothing else in her life but to become stronger.

If you think about it, you don't seem to be qualified to say that he is here.

Huali sighed bitterly, and after placing today's sale sign at the door, Meiyun walked downstairs with a yawn, and was startled when she saw the two of them: "Why did you get up so early?"

"......" Huali silently glanced at the weasel with a calm face, "It's dawn, so I'm up." ”

"Speaking of Huali, it's not easy for you to get up earlier than me," Meiyun glanced around at the store that had been cleaned up, "If you can do this every day, I will definitely give you a salary increase!"

"......" Huali suddenly rolled her eyes, "I still want to sleep more, don't squeeze me, Sister Meiyun." ”

The life of working in the store is basically the same, after all, Huali usually doesn't go out, and even if she goes out, the most she goes to is the vegetable market.

The seven days ended sooner than she had imagined, and on the evening of the last day, Itachi followed her to her room and said, "My mission is over, and I will go back to-night." ”

"Yes," Hanari looked down at him, "I'll send you back, right?"

"No, you're much weaker than I am," Itachi waved at her as he packed his things, "Well, goodbye." ”

"Yes, goodbye. Huali stretched out her hand and waved, and when she saw him walk out, she closed the door, and the room suddenly seemed empty, and an inexplicable sense of loneliness hit her heart.

Itachi, who was already almost in the Uchiha clan, habitually touched his waist, but found that his ninja bag was missing, and he remembered that he seemed to have been in Hanashi's room before, so he could only reluctantly turn around and walk back.

The shop was closed, and Hanari's room was on the second floor of the small inn, and Itachi looked up at the window of her room, and although the curtains were closed, the light was still on, and he jumped lightly to the windowsill and prepared to enter through the window.

Just as he bent his fingers to knock on the glass, Itachi keenly heard the sound of speech coming from the room, he paused, silently withdrew his hand, and then climbed up to the roof, carefully uncovering the roof tiles.

A glimmer of orange light came through the gap in the roof, and Itachi squinted into the room, only to see Hanali sitting on the bed as if she was talking to someone, but there was nothing in front of her, was she talking to herself?

The content of Huali's words is basically talking about her things these days, and it is not an exaggeration to explain it as talking to herself, but every few words she says, she will stop and be quiet for a while, as if someone is talking to her.

Itachi frowned suspiciously, but he couldn't understand her strange behavior, could it be an illusion? His writing wheel eyes unconsciously activated, and when he looked into the room again, his eyes widened in shock.

I don't know when there is a short girl on the opposite side of Huali, she is kneeling on the ground, chatting happily with Huali.
