Chapter 33: Twins
"Ah, you're finally here!"
As soon as I appeared in the courtyard of the Uchiha house, Zana rushed up as if he had been waiting for me. "You still know to come back!"
I wanted to keep my distance from her, so I broke free of her hand that was holding my wrist, "...... Is everything okay? β
Zana seemed to notice this, she paused, and then as if she hadn't found anything, she said casually, "It's okay." The Uchiha clan was located in a very remote area, so it was far from the hospital, and although a few streets were destroyed when Ichiha passed by, our family was not affected much. After Sister Scorpion came back, she used the puppet to clean up the splashed rocks or something, and it was no different from usual. β
"Ah," I was stunned for a moment, "did you call her Sister Scorpion?" β
"Well, that guy Dida calls it that every day, and before I know it, I ...... it" Zana said disapprehantly, "It doesn't matter, she's older than me anyway." β
I laughed, "But it also means that you have recognized her now." β
"Hmph. You're only here now when something so big happened, and you're embarrassed to point fingers at me! Zana immediately became a little annoyed, "Hurry up, sister...... Kite she has been waiting for you. β
I had to follow her into the house, only to see that she had rushed up the stairs leading to the second floor.
The scorpion was still sitting in the cloister, and I couldn't figure out if she hadn't finished repairing the hundred mechs yet, or if she was working on a new creation.
"Do you know what's going on?" I asked her.
The scorpion gave me a strange look, put away the puppet, and then followed him into the room and sat down on the side. "You'll find out later."
And Dida in the backyard also heard Zona shouting at me, and immediately ran over quickly, "Ah! Weasel! You guy! It's only now happening! β
ββ¦β¦ Am I missing something? β
"You ......," Dida wanted to say, but suddenly paused, "Forget it." β
She also followed into the house, and sat down beside the scorpion, but as if there were needles on the cushion, she looked like she couldn't sit still, and asked the scorpion, "Where is the kite?" β
The scorpion replied, "Upstairs." β
Dida looked at me from time to time, and then at the top of the stairs, inexplicably excited.
"Where's the black soil?" I couldn't help but ask.
Dida replied briskly, "He's out to buy groceries." β
β¦β¦ You're really here to cook, aren't you? What kind of international dedication is this spirit of cooking in Konoha that has come all the way from thousands of miles!
Just then, Kite came down from the second floor and appeared at the top of the stairsβZana followed her, as if she had just gone to inform her messenger.
She sat down across from me with a soft expression, and Zana sat next to her. The two of us looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time: "I have something to say." β
The two voices coincided, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
Dida didn't know why, but seemed to think it was funny, and couldn't help but laugh with a "poof".
"Well, let's talk about it first." The kite gently backed down.
I paused, but finally said, "...... After tomorrow, I probably won't show up again. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to be stunned.
"What do you mean?" Zana frowned, "What do you mean by that?" β
"I am a dead person, and it is just some obsession to be able to come to this life...... Now, my wish has almost come true. β
"But ββ!?"
"Zona." The kite stopped her.
"But!" She met the kite's soft but firm gaze, and after a few seconds of stalemate, she finally gritted her teeth and stopped talking.
The scorpion and Dida on the other side were also stunned, and Dida looked at the scorpion a little helplessly, but saw the red-haired girl who had always been calm and indifferent frowned.
I always felt something strange and said, "So, what do you want to say, kite?" β
"Hmm......" Kite groaned for a moment, and finally said honestly, "The last time I went to Konoha Hospital for a checkup, the results of the examination showed that I was pregnant. β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. I froze for a moment, "Congratulations." β
"Congratulations, what the hell!" Dida finally couldn't help it, "Isn't that your child too?" β
However, Kite clearly understood what I meant, and she laughed: "Hmm...... Thank you. β
But this news is a bit like a wine that you don't feel any taste when you first eat it, and the more you taste it, the more you taste it. I sat in place for a while, and I didn't know why, but I felt a little confused and stood up, walked to her side, knelt down on one knee, stared at her abdomen for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Can I touch it?" β
"Yes." The kite whispered, turning towards me, "But I guess I can't touch anything yet." β
"Hmm......" My hand pressed on her soft and flat lower abdomen, it was hard to imagine that such a gentle body contained such a powerful power, and at this moment, it was ready to give birth to a new life.
Kite said very gently, "If it's a girl, it's called Zoryana, and if it's a boy, it's called Sasuke, right?" β
ββ¦β¦ No, you can also take another name. β
"I think it's good." Kite said: "But what if it's two boys?" β
"Huh?"
"I don't know why...... I had a vague hunch that I could feel it...... It seems to be two boys. β
This kind of thing is a bit beyond my comprehension, but maybe this is the intuition that comes from "being a mother"?
"If it's two boys...... The elder brother is called Sasuke, and the younger brother ...... "I thought about it, "It's called Izumi." β
Seeing this, she probably felt that it was not good to continue to stay, and the scorpion was worthy of being the oldest, so she suddenly stood up and said, "Dida, Zanai, I have something to do, you come and help me." β
She dragged Dida out of the way, and Zana hesitated before getting up and chasing after her. In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the hall, me and Kite.
I sat down next to the kite and whispered, "In a few days, the three generations of Hokage may transfer a sum of money." β
"Huh?"
"It's supposed to be the reward for two S-class missions. I'll give it to you. β
ββ¦β¦ Give it to me? β
"yes. After all, raising children costs a lot of money. β
"Itachi ......"
"I'm sorry I can't be with you."
"It's okay." Kite smiled, "...... You weren't supposed to be in this world, and you're lucky to be able to succeed so smoothly the first time. Thank you for fulfilling my wish...... It's such a capricious task. β
"You've never been willful." I said, "So it's rare to be willful once, and it doesn't matter." β
"Is it true that it will never be seen again?"
ββ¦β¦β
Originally, I wanted to use this mission to capture the eye of reincarnation as an opportunity to end it, and after completing it, I would return to Masumi's life. But after thinking about it, I still didn't dare to say it too hard, after all, who knows what will happen in the future? When the time comes, it will be embarrassing if the reason is not rounded.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know what will happen in the future. β
Fortunately, Kite didn't continue to ask, she asked, "Can I tell them about you?" β
"Huh?"
"Tell Sasuke and Izuna about their father. Can I tell them about you? β
"What are you going to tell them?"
"Let's just say that although their father may not be able to grow up with them, you love them as much as I do."
ββ¦β¦ All right. So be it. "I couldn't help but touch the kite's belly again." You're alone, okay? β
For a moment, I didn't think about it, or I kept the image of the weasel and accompanied the kite to give birth to a child. But in this case, there will never be an end - the image itself is not real, although there is a saying that if a lie lasts for a lifetime, it is the truth, but the problem is that I can't abandon the life that belongs to Mazumi.
Alas...... Who said that fathers are indifferent to their children...... The child will also hold the man's heart all at once.
However, every now and then it will only cause resentment.
Illusory things can never come true. So, it's better to make up your mind and don't drag your feet.
Besides, the kite is not the kind of fragile woman either.
Her heart is immensely strong.
"Don't underestimate women. Albeit...... Our family may not be like ordinary people, but my love for them will not be lost to anyone, and I will tell them that they were born because of love - love for the Uchiha clan. β
ββ¦β¦β
"But," said Kite, after a pause, "if you could come and see them once in a while...... I think they'll be happy. β
