On the last day of the 53rd year of Konoha, heavy snow fell in the village, and the trees and houses were covered in silver.

The four Hokages on the Shadow Rock donned festive "wool" hats, as if they were looking forward to the next year's ninja world still being able to maintain this semblance of peace.

Mikoto Uchiha and Yoshiyoshi walk out of the house wearing beanies, intending to make a purchase.

"Isn't it really cold to wear like this? Brave? ”

Unlike Mikoto Uchiha, who wore a woolen coat, Yoshito wore nothing more than a Uchiha's signature high-necked long sleeves and children's shorts.

From time to time, a thick, hot white mist poured out of his mouth, and a lovely red rose on both cheeks, but a closer look showed that it was not caused by the cold.

"I'm fine."

Half of Yiyong's face was hidden in the high collar, and he took the lead towards the gate of the clan land.

"Wait a minute, I'm brave."

Uchiha Mikoto called out to Yoshito and held out a hand to him.

"Can you hold Mom's hand? Otherwise, I might have slipped to it. Yiyong didn't want to see his mother fall to the ground in such an embarrassed way. ”

Yi Yong showed a confused expression.

"But the ferret can step directly on the water."

[Shangshinobi, how can you slip in the snow? 】

Uchiha Mikoto was slightly stunned, and then showed a sly smile: "But my mother is not as powerful as Itachi, so Yiyong has to protect me." ”

Then her expression became aggrieved, and her fingers wiped the corners of her eyes, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

"Could it be that only Sasuke and Itachi are important in Yoshiyong's heart, and he doesn't care about his father and mother at all? I'm so sad. ”

[Hurry on the bait, hurry on the bait, hurry on the bait, take the bait, be brave! ] 】

Sure enough, he found that his mother's expression was indeed very "sad", and Yiyong's small palm immediately grabbed her three fingers.

Uchiha Mikoto immediately "burst into tears" and laughed.

"Compared to this ......"

However, the next moment, Yi Yong stared at her and asked very seriously, "Is the Shinobi assessment in Konoha Village too unrigorous?" Is Itachi really safe on a mission in the village? If you are found to be unable to even tread water, you will be punished, right? ”

After all, it was really simple, and he learned it after only watching it once.

The smile on Mikoto's face petrified.

But after she squeezed Yiyong's little hand, she suddenly said in surprise: "Eh, why are you so hot on your body...... Is it a fever? ”

"Nope." Yi Yong shook his head firmly.

His body temperature would skyrocket because he was practicing Flame Breathing.

This morning, after inducing Sasuke to use the "Little Fireball" a few times, Yoshito finally completely parsed the breath of fire.

[Current Breathing Method Resolution Progress - Breath of Fire: 100%; Wind Breath: 9.8%; Thunder's Breath: 4.1%; Breath of Rock: 2.4%; Breath of the Moon 15.44%; Breath of the Sun: 0%. 】

Right now, the practice method of Flame Breath, the nine sword types, and the rhythm of Changzhong's breathing have all been imprinted into Yi Yong's mind.

Next, as long as Yi Yong cultivates the breath of fire to the level of Changzhong, he can use spiritism to channel Purgatory Xingjulang out.

Still, it seems that there is something extra needed to cast this spiritism.

[Please prepare human gene carriers (such as hair, blood, saliva, skin) as psychic materials.] The resurrection pillar will be affected by the gene vector. 】

Yi Yong hadn't heard the word gene, but after asking a child in the clan who liked to read, he probably understood-

For example, when channeling, using his own hair as a material, then the body of Purgatory Kyojuro's resurrection is likely to have some of his characteristics, perhaps black hair; Blue eyes, perhaps; Maybe it's the blood inheritance limit of the Writing Wheel Eye......

But Yiyong really couldn't accept a black-haired Purgatory Xingjulang, and as far as he knew, Purgatory himself was quite proud of that hair color, and said that his ancestors had eaten too much fried shrimp for generations to get it.

So Yoshiyo plans to go to the streets today to see if he can find someone whose hair color and physical characteristics are close to Purgatory Kyojuro himself.

But considering the unique red and yellow hair color, he didn't really have much hope, just to find someone with red or yellow hair and a stronger body.

As for how to interact with each other, asking for a hair or something, that's a matter of later.

Then again.

Uchiha Mikoto was not very relieved and carefully examined Yoshiyu's body.

Yiyong's physique has always been the best among the three brothers, and he has never had a cold in Dalian since he was a child.

But there is also a saying among the people: people who usually do not get sick are extremely serious when they get sick.

The idea occasionally rushes back and forth into Mai Trin's mind like a mad cow, so she checks it very carefully.

But upon closer examination, she found that Yiyong was not as simple as a fever.

He's more like a burning furnace, constantly radiating heat outward.

Those snowflakes that fell from the air, and they couldn't even touch within ten centimeters of Yiyong's body, and they would be immediately evaporated on the spot by an invisible heat wave. This is far from being the effect of disease.

It's not so much that it's sick, but it's like the boiling ninjutsu that Mikoto saw in Zhuli, a native of Iwain Village, during the Great Ninja War.

"You're amazing."

Mikoto Uchiha stared into her son's eyes, as if trying to find out something.

She said in a lively tone: "You are cooler than the refrigerator in the summer, and you are warmer than the stove in the winter......"

Then, suddenly, she hugged Yiyong, squeezed her face and Yiyong's face together, and rubbed it hard like a lion.

"Mom really envy you!"

Tomioka's face changed drastically on the spot, and he wanted to retreat in horror, but he couldn't break free without chakra, and it was easy to hurt his mother who couldn't even tread water.

The last time he felt this way was when Honey Glass of Ganlu Temple tried to tickle him at the Pillar Junction Meeting (in the official novel).

"Okay, okay, look at that scares you."

Mai Trin, who saw Yiyong's expression for the first time, couldn't cry or laugh, and after helping Yiyong adjust the beanie on his head, she stood up.

[I really don't know what kind of girl Yiyong will marry in the future......]

[A child who is too shy like Izumi probably can't even make Yiyong's expression change. 】

[But if it's a girl who is too active, will Yiyong be bullied.] 】

Uchiha Mikoto was thinking about what would happen in the future for an unknown number of years, while holding Yoshiyong's hand and continuing to walk out.

And Yiyong was full of worry, not knowing what he was thinking, and he even forgot to maintain the breath of the flame.

"Brave!"

When he walked to the main gate of the clan, Yoshito heard his name called, and when he looked up, it was Uchiha Gan.

The other party was carrying a bag of fireworks, and waved to Yiyong excitedly, and then bowed slightly to Mikoto with a restrained expression.

Yiyong just nodded slightly in return, but the other party didn't care, and gave Yiyong a lollipop and left, obviously getting used to his cold way of getting along.

Next, Yoshito meets a group of Uchiha boys who are building snowmen.

When they saw Yiyong and Mai Trin, they also stopped and invited Yiyong to play together, but he still refused.

It wasn't until the mother and son walked out of the clan that Meiqin poked her head out and said, "Yiyong, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with the children in the clan." Do each of them know you? ”

This came as a surprise to her.

The Uchiha clan is notoriously difficult to please, and it should be even more difficult with a righteous and courageous character.

Ever since she was liberated from housework, she had been working as a leader in the team, not knowing that Sasuke and Yoshito were training with the children of the clan during the day, in Itachi's absence.

At the beginning, with the righteous Sasuke, there were only three lower ninjas.

But those younger children saw that Renshita Shinobu was "playing" with Sasuke, and naturally they came over one after another.

Under the influence of Gan Wencui, they also gradually realized that Yiyong's advice could make their training more effective with half the effort, so they were also full of gratitude to Yiyong, not to mention that Yiyong would often bring delicious food to share with them. Over time, everyone became friends.

And thanks to the Uchiha child's show-off personality, he spews fireballs at that lake every day, which makes the resolution of Yiyong's Flame Breath rise all the way......

Honestly, they are grateful for the bravery, and the brave is thanking them.

Relying only on Itachi and Sasuke to brush up the resolution, I'm afraid it will take more than a year.

Therefore, in the face of Mikoto's doubts, Yoshiyong said quite seriously, "They are all friends of me and Sasuke. ”

"Oh, what a surprise of righteousness."

She touched the back of Yiyong's head with satisfaction, "In this way, you have more friends than your brother." ”

The only one who can be called a friend by Uchiha Itachi is Uchiha Shisui.

But they are more like brothers who are not related by blood than friends.

After the mother and son crossed the Konoha River, they stopped in front of a shop on the main street.

The signboard is pink, with the words "Flower of the Mountain" written on it, and it looks very girly.

"Yiyong, I'm going to buy some Mo Lan and cyclamen to go home, do you want to come with me?"

Uchiha asked emphatically, "Maybe a little longer." ”

Yi Yong heard that it would take a little longer, and was about to go directly to the vegetable market to save time, but he noticed a small figure with yellow hair flashing through the glass door of the flower shop.

[Although the color is a little light, it is indeed yellow......]

"I'll go too."

"Eh, that's great."

Mikoto Uchiha smiled widely, "How about you also choose a beautiful flower for your mother?" ”

As she spoke, without waiting for Yiyong to agree, she immediately pushed the door in, and an extremely warm and humid breath rushed towards the two of them.

"Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower Shop."

A noble and gentle woman walked out from behind the flower stand and said with a smile on her face: "It's Mrs. Uchiha, it's been a long time, and when you come here, our store is really shining." ”

Although this is a standard flattering sentence, when it comes out of her mouth, not only does it not feel uncomfortable, but it is flattering.

It's a bit like the feeling that Chanae gave to Yi Yong when the flower pillar butterfly Chanae was still there.

Yoshiyong only glanced at the thickness and color of the blood vessels in the woman's neck, and knew that she was not a non-ninja.

"You're so polite. I'm young, just call me Mai Trin. ”

"Since you have asked for it, you are welcome."

Then, the lady of the mountain turned her gaze to Yoshiyu, "However, how does Sasuke feel the same as before-"

"Mom? Is Sasuke coming? ”

A loud grin came from the back room, followed by another clang, and the door opened. The girl with short pale yellow hair poked her head out from behind the counter, two shining sky-blue eyes staring at Yi Yong.

Soon, a look of doubt welled up on her face.

"Ino, don't be so frizzy, come to me."

Lady Yamanaka beckoned, and Yamanaka Ino immediately came to her and stood up, looking at Yoshiyong with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

"No, Mom." She said categorically, "He's not Sasuke. ”

"Oh, I wanted to tease Ino."

Uchiha Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled softly before explaining to Lady Yamanaka, "This is Sasuke's twin brother, Yoshiyu, and this is the first time he's gone out shopping with me." Speaking of which, it is clear that there are many clansmen who can't tell the difference between their two brothers, but Ino can see it at a glance, which is really amazing. ”

"Of course!"

Ino crossed his waist and raised his head, proudly brushing the broken hair on his forehead.

"From the first time I met Sasuke, I was going to marry him into the mountain family, how could I admit my mistake?"

When the two parents heard this, they looked at each other and laughed in unison, and tears were about to come.

"Why are you laughing!"

Ino didn't quite understand the scene in front of him, and said menacingly, "Do you think I can't do it?" ”

The mothers laughed even harder.

Seeing that they were only smiling and no one cared about him, Ino turned his attention to Yiyong, who was of the same height: "Hey, do you think I can't do it too?" ”

Mikoto Uchiha knew that there was a good show to watch, so she gave Lady Yamanaka a "stop first" expression, and then held her arms and waited for her bravery.

"Am I ......?"

Yoshiyong looked at Ino in a daze, thinking about what she said about marrying Sasuke, and suddenly realized.

"I'm sorry, I just noticed, but you were a boy."

[If it's a girl, it should be married.] 】

"You!"

Ino's eyes suddenly widened, but he didn't expect to hear the most annoying words in Sasuke's brother's mouth!

["Ino, don't be like a boy all day! ”】

["The man is in Ino! ”】

Abominable abominable abominable!

[Obviously he looks so similar to Sasuke, why is he so annoying when he opens his mouth!] 】

"Okay, okay, you guys go play inside for a while, and I'll help Mrs. Mai Trin choose some flowers."

Lady Yamanaka forced a smile and pointed in the direction of the back room, "Ino, go and pour some drinks for Yiyong." ”

"Mom!" Ino stomped his foot reluctantly.

"Don't make a face to your guests."

Lady Yamanaka leaned down and said with a smile, "Sasuke and Yoshiyoshi are both the same age as you, and you will go to the ninja school together from March next year." You have to get along well, you know? ”

“……”

Seeing that his mother's smile became more intense and unreal, Ino nodded nervously, but when he looked back at Yiyong, he immediately became fierce again: "You come with me!" ”

"Yiyong, at most, my mother will call you out in ten minutes."

Uchiha Mikoto pushed Yoshiyu, "Go, there are new friends to meet, Yoshiyo should be very happy." ”

"Hmm."

Yi Yong stared at Ino's pale blonde hair and nodded solemnly.

[I think this girl's personality is more suitable for Yoshiyo than Sasuke.] 】

Mai Trin thought with some relief as she watched the two children disappear through the door of the back room.

As everyone knows, after Yiyong came to the back room and sat down, the first thing he said to Ino was-

"Can you give me a hair of yours?"

The drink in Ino's hand slammed into the ground with a clatter.
