By the time Uchiha Fugaku learned why the two of them were in his house, dinner time was over.

Kakashi didn't eat, just explained that he wasn't hungry yet, and he held Naruto in his arms the whole time to feed him.

He didn't feel awkward, because he had been fed a lot when he was seriously injured, and at the beginning of this side, he had to make hot water to warm up the milk powder and put it in a bottle to feed Naruto.

This little child of theirs is most honest only when he eats and sleeps.

Sasuke looked very envious, but he felt that this was too childish, so he could only stare at Naruto with envy and hatred while eating by himself, and only restrained a lot after being taught by Fugaku to let him eat well.

But still envious.

Itachi can't do anything about him, but he can't take care of him like Sasuke did when he was a baby, so he can only express 'I don't have to envy you and my brother' by picking up vegetables for his younger brother.

Because Fuyue would definitely not do such a thing.

If he stares at and feeds him with that facial paralysis, he may be so stressed that he will not be able to swallow the food, or even vomit or get anorexia.

The reason why Kakashi doesn't eat is because he is a shadow clone, but he doesn't dare to say that he is a shadow clone in Uchiha's territory.

In that case, Naruto would be in danger, although probably no one in the family would feel anything other than Fugaku.

The news that Naruto has the Nine-Tails has not been passed out, it is said that there is another version, but a big family like the Uchiha can more or less guess something...... What's more, after three years, I couldn't hold back and wanted a coup d'état, but it dragged on for more than a year and almost two years because of the water stop......

They are people with other ideas.

If it was to go to the Hyuga clan, Kakashi felt that there was no problem, because the other party didn't need the Nine-Tails, and even if he wanted to enhance his abilities, he wouldn't need it.

He really didn't really want to bring Naruto over.

The Uchiha's police force has become much more idle in the past few years, allowing Fugaku to have time to go home for three meals a day.

It's been a long time since the Third Ninja World War, and more than two years have passed since the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Sure enough, if you are idle for a long time, you will have the idea of making trouble.

…… Not satisfied with the status quo, thinking that they can get better treatment - or something.

Fuyue himself was not too obsessed with that, but as the head of the clan, he couldn't suppress the thoughts of the clansmen too strongly.

Otherwise, he may also become an ostracized person by his own people.

Fugaku, who had eaten dinner with his wife and children and two 'strangers', packed up and went out on duty again, but glanced at Naruto a few more times before leaving.

This made Kakashi a little nervous, but fortunately, Fugaku left soon, leaving only a particularly gentle Kamishinobu senior and her two children in the house.

"Itachi, you go play with Sasuke for a while, and I'll talk to Kakashi-kun and them for a while."

Mikoto, who had finished washing the dishes with Itachi and Kakashi, took clean tissues and wiped their hands, then smiled and brushed her eldest son's hair and brushed his pigtails at the ends.

- "You and Sasuke's new hairstyles are cute. ”

After Sasuke got the compliment, he happily took his brother, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, to practice in the yard.

- Sasuke didn't express his displeasure with Fugaku staring at other people's children.

He thought it was because Naruto had made a 'good-looking' hairstyle for himself and his brother that his father would pay attention to Naruto.

"Brother, brother, let's tie our hair like this tomorrow, right~?"

Sasuke happily flicked his particularly blunt shuriken and proposed to his brother.

“…… All right. ”

Itachi usually ties up the hair at the ends of his hair, just because it's easier to move.

After tying up the ponytail, the back of his head and the back of his neck smoothly came into contact with the unobstructed air, which was so cold that he was a little unaccustomed to it.

In the past, when I had short hair, my hair was not particularly short.

Itachi saw that his brother was so happy that he couldn't bear to say anything, so he agreed in a tangled way.

-

"Thank you so much today for listening to me say so much."

Kakashi took Naruto's hand and gave Mikoto a big bow.

Although I would also like to be able to chat with her next time like before, the Uchiha ...... Kakashi didn't want to come over casually anymore.

The little ones were not obligated to follow their guardians in their words and deeds, so Naruto just stood there looking up at Mikoto's face curiously, and didn't bow with Kakashi.

[Sure enough, Sasuke is very much like her.] ]

Naruto imagined in his mind what Mikoto would look like as she would change out of her apron and wear other everyday clothes, and substituted her into Sasuke's role.

Lovely.

"Don't be so polite, I'm the one who should be thanked, and I feel very happy to be able to talk to others about family - you see, because Fugaku is the patriarch, other people won't talk to me about family-related things...... And I had a lot of fun talking to Naruto's guardian. ”

Mikoto smiled and squatted down and straightened her apron, gently rubbing Naruto's hair.

…… It's not the same as Kakashi and someone else's hand.

It's the feeling of 'mother'.

“…… Mother!!!! ”

Naruto let go of Kakashi's hand and pounced on Mikoto.

"Haha...... I'd love to take you as a son, too, but in that case, Sasuke and Itachi will be unhappy, and Kakashi-kun will definitely have an opinion, so I can't be your mother, I'm sorry. ”

Mikoto smiled and hugged Naruto like she was holding her own child, patting him gently on the back before putting her arm around his shoulders and pushing him away, touching his hair again, picking up his hand and handing it to Kakashi.

Naruto glanced at Mikoto a few times, then looked up at Kakashi again, then pouted and stood back beside Kakashi.

“……”

Kakashi felt tired.

"Kakashi-kun should be going back too, this state is not good all the time outside."

Mikoto still crouched to keep talking to Naruto at the height of her chat, looking up and smiling at Kakashi.

“……！”

Kakashi's heart went into cold arrest for a second or two after being pointed out that he was a shadow clone, and before he could come back to consciousness, he was already quickly pulling Naruto behind him.

"Ah, don't worry, I didn't plan to do anything, and Fuyue has no malicious intentions, but after all, he is the head of the clan, so he may make you misunderstand, I hope you can understand more - we can talk about other things later, next time I will visit you, I will also take Sasuke with me, is that okay?"

Mikoto symbolically took a few steps back, leaving a safe space for Kakashi and Naruto.

"Hmm...... I'm sorry...... Because I guess the seniors may already know about Naruto, I'm a little worried. ”

Kakashi squeezed Naruto's hand and gave Mikoto a bigger bow than he had just done to apologize.

Naruto's hand was clenched a little painfully, but he didn't break away in front of Mikoto after feeling the tremor above.

- "We welcome seniors at all times. If you don't mind our rudeness, be sure to ......! ”

Mikoto took care of their thoughts and offered to go to their side next time, which made Kakashi, who had just reached more than half of his guard, feel very ashamed.

"It's okay, I can understand your feelings, in that case, then next weekend, okay?"

Mikoto reached out and gently touched Kakashi's hair.

For cats and children who may explode at any time, this is the most suitable method of appeasement.

“…… Good ......"

Kakashi also felt an unusual warmth in the palm of his head.

Reassuring.
