Chapter 27: Can't Afford to Fail
When he woke up in the morning, he found that the warm body around him was entangled.
Hikari slept very deeply, Makoto carefully sat up, got up and dressed, looked at her quiet sleeping face, and couldn't help but kiss her lips gently.
Hikari opened his eyes, and when he touched Makoto's bright eyes, he clearly showed a moment of surprise.
"You can sleep a little longer, I'll go and ask Qingxi to help prepare breakfast."
Makoto, who was dressed, stroked her hair and said softly.
Feeling Makoto's gentleness, he dragged the quilt and covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes and said, "You...... Going to exercise? ”
Although the relationship between the two is still close, it is completely different from yesterday, Cheng only thinks she is shy, and does not dare to laugh at her, and says: "Well, you can sleep for a while, I will come back from exercise and call you to get up and eat." ”
"Okay." With a heart pounding and shortness of breath, she simply pulled the quilt to cover her head, and said in a muffled voice.
Makoto hugged her through the quilt, pushed open the door and left.
"Qingxi? Early. ”
Qingxi sat in the living room, wearing a high-necked hooded trench coat of the same style as Makoto, obviously also from the hand of light, but Makoto's trench coat was red, and the one on her body was spotless pure white.
At this time, there were some marks on the originally clean and tidy windbreaker, Cheng guessed that it might be caused by dampness, and Qingxi's face was not too good, as if he hadn't rested well, could it be that Qingxi went out early in the morning?
The girl glared at him viciously, which made Makoto a little inexplicable: "What's wrong?" ”
Qingxiliu's little face under the sea turned red, retracted his gaze, and asked casually, "Sister?" ”
"She hasn't gotten up yet, let's call her when we get back from workout, and I'll want you to make breakfast then."
Qingxi nodded, stood up, and prepared to work out with Makoto in the morning.
"Qingxi, your face doesn't look good, do you want to take a day off today?"
Qingxi shook her head.
"Well, if you don't feel well later, be sure to say it."
The girl nodded.
Cheng casually picked up the forehead guard hanging in the entrance, pushed the door open and went out, Qingxi silently followed, and the two of them sped up when they went out, and disappeared quickly along the roof of the village building.
Upstairs, Makoto is in the room where he often lives when he stays in Hikari's house, because his parents are not at home until he becomes an adult, so Makoto Uchiha spends more time in this room than in his own home, saying that it is a guest room, but the decoration, layout, and personal belongings everywhere in the room, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Makoto's exclusive room.
Bare curled up in the quilt full of the smell of sincerity, and remained motionless for a long time, as if he was asleep.

"Makoto, you're finally back!" As soon as he saw Tomoo Uchiha, this middle-aged man, who was becoming more and more powerful in the family, complained bitterly.
"How?" Cheng said with a smile, with the continuous contact with the two fathers and sons, Zhifu and Fuyue, he was no longer as unsmiling in front of them as he was a few years ago, not to mention, when Fuyue and Meikoto got married, the woman put down the wedding ring, or he helped to get through all the way.
"In the days when you were not in the clan, Lord Saya came to the Southern Courtyard to look for it no less than ten times, although I stopped me, but looking at the situation, Miss Guang's matter, at the latest next month's regular meeting, it can't be delayed anymore."
"Oh?" Makoto frowned, and made a note of this Saya in his heart, and just as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted.
"Also," Zhifu's face was much more solemn than just now: "It's not that I won't help you, your marriage, the Great Elder mentioned it to me again a few days ago, Miss Lianguang, you must take these two things to heart and give me an answer as soon as possible." ”
"Exactly," Makoto replied, "two things that I can answer you together now." ”
"You mean ......"
"Well, I'm applying to marry Hikari."
Swish.
The inside door of the house was pulled open all at once.
"Miss World......" Tomoo said as he stood up with a little embarrassment on his face.
Miss Uchiha, who was almost 13 years old, stood outside the door with a cold expression, and if you looked closely, you could see that there was a slight imperceptible pale on her awe-inspiring face.
"The world ......" Makoto doesn't know what to say.
The world stepped into the door gracefully, gently put two of the three cups of tea in his hand on the table, and without saying a word, turned to leave.
Makoto hesitated whether to catch up.
Tomoo coughed lightly, and reminded him intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss Hikari is 20 years old, and if you want to get married, you have to do it as soon as possible." ”
Makoto sat down slowly and nodded, his expression a little more indifferent than before.
He sighed in his heart, no matter what, at this time, he couldn't live up to the light and let her be forced by the family to care.
"Then, I think that just recently, I will help you report to Lord Masamoto in the Zongli Room, and you can get married as soon as possible."
The ninja world has just escaped from the era of material barrenness for less than a hundred years, but there is no romance and moth such as grand weddings, vows before the gods, and honeymoons together, and even the so-called "marriage" customs of the second generation of Fuyue and Mai Qin are just a test of the fighting strength of the man's family.
A female ninja marries in, not only as a warrior to supplement the family's total combat power, but also as a mother to supplement the reproduction of the population.
Therefore, ninjas attach great importance to women, and if the man does not have the strength to pass the test set by the woman's family, then the man himself will retreat in shame without the woman to speak.
Of course, the situation of Mikoto Fugaku is different from that of intermarriage between ninja families, but between the lineages of the Uchiha family, the reason for this custom can also be inferred.
However, Cheng and Guang, who are not very noble, don't have so much consideration, Cheng met with Guang's parents, reported to the family clan room, and then invited some relatives and friends, and the marriage was over.
The world didn't show up on the day of the wedding feast, no, it should be said that after this day, Makoto never saw the face of the girl Uchiha world again.
After the wedding, Makoto gets permission to establish a new lineage in the family. The family has always treated him in a timely manner and without delay.
As his wife, Uchiha Hikari joins his lineage on the genealogy, and Uchiha Shuto joins his lineage.
A new lineage was opened, and there were quite a few people in the family who were optimistic about his potential who applied to join his lineage.
In line with the principle of preferring lack to abundance, Makoto chose a family shinobi named Uchiha humiliation, and after many observations, he thought that he was not a pawn arranged by some well-intentioned people, and agreed to let him join his lineage.
Of course, for this ninja, Makoto paid a copy of the "Muji Ninjutsu Research and Development Materials" as the price for the Uchiha humiliating the original lineage to agree that he would leave and join another lineage.
