Children around the age of six or seven do not know much about the adult world, and they only learn the vocabulary that adults say that they know a little.

Futaba didn't fully understand what he said, but nodded smugly.

"Bastard?"

Nagi seems to have heard,

"It's not a nice identity, is it?"

Makoto Ito knew what it meant, but he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to say it.

"That's it...... Little beauty ......"

Xiao Jian put his hands to his mouth, leaned close to Xiao Meixing's ear and whispered,

"Your father cheated on you, and then you had an illegitimate child. ”

"What is cheating?"

Although Xiao Meixing is smart and clever, she doesn't know much about these things.

"It's your father who fell in love with other women behind your mother's back, and then secretly gave birth to other children. ”

"Ha ......"

Xiao Meixing, who has always been calm, couldn't help but scream, and then realized that peeking at others was still attracting attention, so she hurriedly pulled Futaba aside and asked eagerly,

"Are you telling the truth?"

"If that Haruki is really that much like your father, it's probably true...... But it wouldn't be good if your mother found out. ”

"But isn't Haruki an orphan? Without parents, how can he be an illegitimate child?"

"Because he was an orphan, he could be an illegitimate child and could not be known by others, so he was abandoned in an orphanage. ”

"That's ...... It can't be......"

Xiao Miyuki once again secretly observed the spring tree through the crack in the door, and the more she looked, the more she felt that Futaba made sense.

"What should I do?"

Futaba replied:

"Xiaomei, you have to deal with it carefully, it's best not to let your mother know. ”

"Secret?"

"Of course. ”

Xiaomei hesitated,

"But...... Somebody will find out, right, what if someone tells me about my mother?"

"Then you secretly tell your father first, and deal with it quickly......"

"Is that good?"

Xiaomei was a little unsure.

"Don't worry, as long as it's not exposed, it should be fine, and besides, it's good to have an extra brother out of thin air!"

"Brother?"

Xiao Meixing, who has always been the boss, is a little concerned about this title, but after hesitating for a while, she still said firmly,

"No, I must have a good talk with my father......"

In addition to doing housework all day long, my father just basks in the sun and sleeps lazy, and I can't believe that he will betray his family.

Although he is a useless father, he will not do such a thing...... With a lot of thoughts, Xiao Meixing and her friends returned to the classroom.

The customs and habits of the ninja world are still very conservative, because of the particularity of the ninja profession, which leads to extremely flamboyant personalities, and there is no shortage of cases of premarital cohabitation and unmarried pregnancy.

However, once the relationship is established or even married, there are very few cases of cheating or even divorce, and it is not impossible to have illegitimate children, but it is absolutely rare to cheat in marriage and give birth to children.

……

In the next lesson, Xiao Meixing basically didn't listen to it, and was disturbed by the "illegitimate child" and "father's cheating".

"What if it's true?"

Miyuki, who has made up her mind to figure things out, has already decided that if her father makes a mistake, she must teach her a good lesson, and in addition, what if Haruki is really her half-brother?

has been an only daughter for so many years, and when she thinks of having an older brother who shares her love, Xiao Meixing also suffers from some gains and losses.

finally stayed up until the end of school, Xiao Meixing ignored the greetings of her friends and hurried home.

Pushing open the door in a hurry, Xiao Miyuki saw her father sitting on the edge of the windowsill reading a book leisurely.

"Xiaomei, you're back, do you want to eat apples? I've got you ready......

Putting down the book in his hand, Mizuki got up with a smile and took his daughter's heavy schoolbag.

"I'm not hungry right now!"

Xiao Meiyuki put the baby bear into the carefully prepared nest, and then took Mizuki's hand with a serious face.

"Why, what do you want to say to me? Did you get into trouble at school, and your expression is so ugly? Don't worry, your father and I are big people with heads and faces, and any trouble can be settled, and no one dares not to give me face!"

"We'll talk about that later!"

Xiao Meixing has a straight face,

"Today I saw a student who looked very much like me, a little older than me! Xiao Xiao said that it might be my half-brother, and said that she couldn't let my mother know about it! Is what she said true?"

"Ha ......"

Mizuki smiled in surprise,

"How can you think that? I am loyal to your mother, how can I cheat, and I can't have an illegitimate child. ”

Xiao Meixing was a little suspicious,

"Why is that Haruki so similar to me?"

"There are many reasons to look alike, and it's probably just a coincidence. ”

Mizuki stepped forward and pinched Xiaomeiyuki's face, and replied with a smile,

"Little one, what are you thinking?

"I won't ......"

Xiao Meixing pouted and brushed away Mizuki's strange hand,

"I just don't want my mother to be sad......"

"If you don't believe your father so much, aren't you afraid that I'll be sad? I've never lied to you......"

"Really?"

Xiao Meixing thought about it, and her father really didn't tell a lie except for bragging.

"Alright then, I'll just believe it......"

"Uh-huh, now you can rest assured, right?"

"Okay, I'm going to have a potato stew. ”

"It's done...... By the way, there is also thick egg roast, do you want it? It's very sweet and delicious. ”

"That'...... Let's have a copy. ”

The father who has nothing to do may have studied a good cooking skill that is commendable.

……

As Mizuki expected, it wasn't that no one noticed Haruki's abnormality, but no one interfered in this matter.

The secrets of Konoha Village are not suitable for disclosure, what you don't know is just a coincidence, and those who know some Mizuki are also ignoring, just like Haruki is just an ordinary orphan.

Tsubaki, the only one who knows part of the facts, and who clearly knows that it is Mizuki's somatic clone, is a little worried, isn't it not good to let Haruki and Miyuki have too much contact.

Knowing that Mizuki has cloning technology and has a physical clone himself, Tsubaki naturally can't be mistaken, but the direction of worry is different.

"Don't worry, our daughter is excellent......"

The gap between Haruki and Xiao Meixing is too big, whether it is their background, qualifications, and education, they all determine that the future of the two is not at the same level at all.

Just like Mizuki and Kakashi Hachiki in the original book, although the two are the same age, they don't have any intersection at all.

In times of peace, in a society where classes are gradually solidifying, it is not possible to achieve class promotion by individual efforts, at least the current Haruki does not show the potential to be superior.
