Chapter 17 Writing Books Can't Save the World
In this ninja world, few people really pay attention to the healthy growth of children.
Not to mention height or anything, I have done my best to survive.
Not to mention mental health or anything.
Four months after Itachi started his mission, three-year-old Sasuke pulled Uchiha Kusuo and said in shock: "My brother has nasolabial folds!" ”
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
[That's not nasolabial folds.] Uchiha Kusuo gestured on his face, [The ones that grow from the sides of the nose are called nasolabial folds, and the elder brother's one grows from the two eyes, so it's called the tear trough.] ]
"Tear trough? What is that? Sasuke tilted his head.
[hmm......] Kusuo Uchiha thought about how to explain this professional term to him, [Tear troughs are very similar to nasolabial folds, but tear troughs are generally innate, you see Dad actually has it, but it's not obvious.] ]
"Seems to be." Sasuke fell into memory.
[My brother's tear trough wasn't visible before, but it's only recently started to become noticeable, probably because I'm too tired.] Uchiha Kusuo said, [Our Uchiha family is also more harmful to the eyes because of the writing wheel eyes, such as tear troughs, eye bags, etc., which can often be seen on the faces of the Uchiha family, and some people's tear troughs are serious and can even spread to the face, longer than nasolabial folds. ]
"Wow......" Sasuke wondered, "So what should I do?" ”
[My brother's recent task has also stabilized, at most he is going to catch cats and dogs or something, let's give him more food that is good for his eyes.] My brother is such a picky eater, and I know that he often can't eat because he eats too many sweets, especially the three-color meatballs. ]
"Hmmm! So what foods are good for the eyes? Sasuke said, "We can ask Mom to buy it, and Mom will definitely agree!" ”
[Carrots!] Kusuo Uchiha said.
"Uh-huh! And then what? Sasuke drew a crooked carrot and patiently colored it.
[……] Kusuo Uchiha was embarrassed.
Facing Sasuke's big eyes, he stabilized his tone and said, [Anyway, let my brother eat more carrots first!] Carrots are just the best! ]
"What about tomatoes? Are tomatoes bad? Sasuke's eyes brightened at the mention of his favorite things.
[Tomatoes are good, you can eat more tomatoes, then tomatoes should also let mom buy more.] Kusuo Uchiha remembers that there are many benefits of tomatoes, and in short, just eat them.
So at dinner, Itachi was confused by a plate of vegetables.
He looked left and right, and everyone's bowl was very evenly matched, but his plate was overwhelmingly vegetable, and besides, what the hell is carrots and tomatoes......
Sasuke happily took the initiative to explain everything, and said that his brother must eat it all.
Itachi: "......"
Kusuo Uchiha hid his merits and fame deeply, and sandwiched a chopstick's fragrant meat and ate it.
Although he was pitted badly by his younger brothers, Itachi still ate all the dishes under Sasuke's expectant eyes and brought gifts to his younger brothers.
"Cat ears?" Sasuke obediently asked Itachi to put cat ears on his head.
"Yes, that's what I found out on a mission today." Itachi let go, and Sasuke, who was wearing white cat ears, tilted his head, and he was immediately slammed.
"Kusuo ......," he looked at Uchiha expectantly.
Kusuo Uchiha gestured with his hands in front of him ×, indicating that he would not wear it.
"If you bring it, you can understand what the cat says, and you will be treated as a companion by the cat, it's fun, Kusuo really doesn't give it a try?" Itachi beckoned and smiled at him.
[No, no, there is no barrier to my communication with Gin-chan.] Kusuo Uchiha said.
"But Gin-chan hasn't been around a lot lately, right? Don't you want to know where it goes and what it does? Itachi continued to coax.
[No, I don't want to know.] Kusuo Uchiha said.
……
However, in the end, he was photographed by Itachi wearing the same white cat ears as Sasuke.
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
——
How energetic can a three-year-old be?
Sasuke can answer this question, the heavens and the earth can do anything, the cat chases the dog and the joy of it, and the only quiet time is sleep.
But he's learned lately that training is the only way to get stronger, and to get stronger is to get everything he wants.
So from dad to mom, to my brother, all of them were pulled by him and said that they wanted to participate in training, and he also wanted to become great.
Uchiha Fugaku naturally didn't have much effort to accompany him, and Mikoto's mother would occasionally play with him, but it was just playing, and it wasn't any training at all.
So soon Sasuke realized that he could only go to his brother.
Itachi is naturally willing to train with Sasuke seriously, he doesn't even treat Sasuke as an ordinary child, as long as Sasuke wants to do it, as long as Sasuke can do it, he will take out real kung fu to teach.
Kusuo Uchiha was shocked when he saw his demonstration, but Sasuke clapped his hands and was ready to move.
Sasuke was also very powerful in a certain way, and after seeing Itachi's various incredible movements, not only did he not receive a blow, but he was even more excited.
Even if his shuriken couldn't even hit the target.
"Won't Kusuo try it?" While Sasuke was training, Itachi sat down next to Kusuo and asked him.
During their training, Kusuo Uchiha would usually sit under a tree with a book in his arms and read.
[Well, I'm not interested in those.] Kusuo Uchiha said, closing the book and looking up at Itachi.
"Really?" Itachi's eyes were deep, and he thought a lot in his heart in an instant.
On the one hand, he thought that it was okay to be like this, it was good to be an ordinary person, and on the other hand, he retorted to himself, as a person of the Uchiha family, it was very dangerous to not have some self-protection ability, what if, what if Kusuo was in danger, and he didn't have time to rush there......
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
"What book is Kusuo reading today?" Itachi changed the subject.
Kusuo Uchiha flipped over the cover and showed him: [My Hero.] ]
"This book...... Itachi was a little surprised, "did Mr. Ginpachi give it to you too?" ”
[Hmm.] Uchiha Kusuo nodded, Sakata Gintoki has already used the identity of Ginhachi to get acquainted in Konoha, especially in this house, and even often comes to eat and drink, Uchiha Kusuo is really bored, so I asked him to buy some books.
Reading books, this is Kusuo Uchiha's favorite thing right now.
The book is different from the others, and even if it is spoiled, when you read it again alone, you will still have a completely different feeling.
This makes Kusuo Uchiha, who is often spoiled by other people's hearts, very happy, every time he goes to a world, in addition to the problem of food and clothing, the first step is to read the books of that world.
And the books in each world are different, and reading books is also the fastest way to understand a world.
"It's a good book." Itachi said, the expression on his face was a little tangled, "But the author didn't finish writing, the author is very famous, and it is said that many readers have gone to the publishing house to ask, and the author should have died shortly after the start of the Third Shinobi War." ”
Kusuo Uchiha was silent.
"It's only halfway through it, but it's really well written, and I love it." Itachi said, "Kusuo just finished reading it, right?" Any thoughts? ”
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
You may not believe it, but this book, which preaches heroes and justice all the time, is actually written by a hairy monster who is determined to destroy the world.
He didn't die, but he felt that writing books couldn't save the world, so he switched to the villain business.
