Konoha Village, late at night.

Squeak!

The moment he pushed open the door of the tavern, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew on Asuka's face, causing his chaotic mind to regain consciousness in an instant.

Squinting at the ice and snow world outside, Asuka exhaled white air into the air and spoke.

"Captain Fugaku, I'll send you home!"

"Hmm!"

Uchiha Fugaku hummed softly, and then followed Asuka out of the tavern to the ice and snow world outside.

At this time.

The streets were deserted, and the lights had been extinguished by the occupants on either side.

There were scattered footprints in the middle of the road, winding and twisting, which seemed to have been left by a drunk man from a tavern.

"Whew~"

Spat into the air, his gaze fell on the bird in front of him.

With a tall posture, the vitality exuded from his body seems to be able to melt snowflakes, and even the white haze exhaled is much more than his own.

It's good to be young.

Suddenly thinking of himself when he was young, Uchiha Fugaku's already flushed face became more ruddy.

Letting the snowflakes fall on his face and melt, he asked, looking at the other party's young face.

"Asuka, when are you going to get married?"

Asuka paused for a moment, then looked back at the patriarch with a misty look in his eyes, puzzled.

"Don't rush yet, wait a minute.

Why did Captain Fugaku suddenly remember to ask this? ”

"Don't worry!" Uchiha Fugaku shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "When I was young, I was actually not in a hurry to get married, but I couldn't bear the urging of my family, and it was the end of World War II at that time, so in order to respond to the call of the village, I simply took the lead in getting married." ”

？？？

Taking the lead in getting married??

I've heard of being the leading big brother, some taking the lead in fighting, some taking the lead in working, and the first time I've heard of someone taking the lead in getting married.

Seeing Asuka looking at him blankly, Uchiha Fugaku spat out his wine and continued.

"Actually, it's nothing to think about at that time, isn't it just getting married?

But now that I think about it, I was still too young at the time, I had no experience, and my head was hot and I entered the palace of marriage without thinking.

There are some things I shouldn't have said, at least as a patriarch."

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but soon that hesitation disappeared in an instant under the impact of the wine.

He asked, taking two quick steps forward to Asuka's side.

"Do you think it's good to get married?"

Tie the knot?

Suddenly hearing this heavy topic, Asuka couldn't help but bow his head and think.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with getting married.

You don't have to worry about things at home, you don't have to eat instant noodles + milk in the morning, and the more important thing is that the quilt is no longer cold in winter, and there is a little more popularity in the home.

Looking at the look of intention in Asuka's eyes, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and sighed.

"When I was 18 years old, I was very similar to what you think now.

I thought that marriage was a 1+1>2 problem, but I didn't expect it to be a ≤2 problem.

I wanted to find someone with whom I would take the risk of my life, and it turned out that getting married was a risk in itself-—— which I didn't think of at the time.

I couldn't be sure what my future would be at that time, how dare I determine the future for my family - this is also what I didn't expect at the time, I thought that marriage was just marriage, and the future after marriage must be beautiful.

I didn't expect to have to worry so much about raising children."

“.”

Listening to the whining in his ears, Uchiha Asuka's cheeks twitched slightly.

It's good, why did Uchiha Fugaku suddenly miss the time when he was single?

He found himself as if he had done nothing, and as if he had done everything.

In his previous life, Uchiha Fugaku should not have become like this because of his family, maybe he changed, but he didn't draw it?

Crunch! Crunch!

In the dark night, the sound of shoes stepping on the snow echoes in the silent air, spreading far and clearly.

Looking at the mansion in the darkness ahead, there was not a single light lit in it, and none of the lights were reserved for the patriarch, Asuka thought of his own home with the lights in the dark, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that marriage is the beginning of a man's misfortune! How is this different from being single? ”

Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a moment and didn't speak, but he looked at Asuka with a hint of relief.

It's not in vain that he talked so much on the road just now, and finally sounded the alarm for a man who fantasizes about getting married.

He is not against getting married, nor is he against his own people getting married, but there is no need to get married so early.

"In fact, sometimes I think about it, divorce is not a bad thing, is nothing light?"

Asuka was a little puzzled at the last word, and he suddenly noticed a black shadow in the dark mansion in front of him.

Looking at the dark shadow standing in front of Uchiha Fugaku's house, he looked at the pitch-black house again, and his voice gradually became quieter.

Sloppy!

I thought Uchiha Mikoto was sleeping, but I didn't expect to stand at the door waiting for him.

Uchiha Fugaku also noticed the dark shadow at the door at this time, and he immediately swallowed back the words in his throat, and his misty eyes became clearer at this time.

When the two of them came to the door, he didn't know if it was because there was no moon tonight and there was not enough light, or because it had just snowed, but he found that Uchiha Mikoto's face was unusually dark today.

"Mikoto-sama, I've sent the captain back."

Well!

Uchiha Mikoto hummed without being salty, and then she looked at the drunk Fugaku, and said expressionlessly, "It's okay to make yourself drunk a lot, and you come back so late at night."

Speaking of which, she deliberately glanced at Asuka and said.

"Thank you for sending Fugaku back."

Then, I saw her holding Fu Yue's shoulders with both hands, and while walking home, she continued to teach.

"Fuyue, how many times have the concubines told you, don't drink with some indiscreet people, don't drink with some people who have lost their conscience, and don't drink with some lustful and unrestrained people."

She looked back at Asuka again, and after seeing him standing in the snow in a daze, she closed the courtyard door, "What the concubine is talking about is that Lord Jiraiya is a good person?"

In the future, stay away from Jiraiya, and if you drink with him next time, you won't come in this door. ”

"Huh? Isn't Jiraiya outside the village at this time? ”

"Oh, the concubine is just telling you to stay away from Jiraiya."

Bang!

Asuka looked at the closed door, and the word # couldn't help but pop out of his forehead.

He seriously suspected that Uchiha Mikoto was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

On the surface, he belittled Zilai, but in fact, he poked and scolded himself.

Uchiha Fugaku and I told me about an unhappy marriage, and I, as an ordinary clansman, echoed two sentences, is there anything wrong with this?

Looking back at the mansion where the lights had just been turned on, Asuka pouted and walked towards his home.

"Sooner or later, divorce!"

Squeak!

As soon as Asuka pushed open the door of his house, he saw an orange figure pounce on him.

Rumble!

The powerful impact made Asuka take a step back.

Looking down at the orange cat that kept rubbing himself in his arms, Asuka rubbed his chest, and said a little apathetic.

"Are you fat again?"

"The weight is not the same in the morning and evening, and it is normal to be fat at night!"

After saying that, the orange cat sniffed and frowned, "Why do you have the smell of Uchiha Fugaku on your body, you guys drank together?" ”

Hearing this, Asuka shrugged his eyelids and didn't have a good breath.

"I met him at the tavern, and I listened to him tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of marriage."

"This one!"

The orange cat suddenly lost interest, "Recently, Uchiha Fugaku has secretly talked to many people about this recently, usually young clansmen, and the words are to let them get married more cautiously and cautiously."

I am also cautious and cautious when giving birth. ”

Asuka walked to the couch in the middle of the living room and sat down, puzzled.

"Uchiha Mikoto doesn't know about this? Didn't she give her opinion? ”

It glanced at Asuka, then jumped onto the couch as well, and said in a soft voice with a hint of schadenfreude, "Uchiha Mikoto is also talking about marriage."

However, she told the female clansmen that recently, many people in the family have been pursued by foreigners.

The two can't stop the clansmen from falling in love freely, so it's reasonable to persuade them, but I don't know if Uchiha Fugaku has used the persuasion to tell that his marriage is unhappy. ”

Speaking of this, the orange cat jumped on the bird's shoulder and gossiped with a face.

"In the past few days since you came back, their family has been arguing every day over how to teach Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Fugaku said: Itachi is a genius, and genius will shine wherever he is placed, he only needs simple teaching, and even gave you an example, saying that you have no one else to teach, all rely on others to teach a little basic knowledge, and the rest depends on self-learning.

In this way, after many years, you have still grown into a top powerhouse in the ninja world.

Uchiha Mikoto said: Itachi is a genius, but a genius can't just be taught, he needs the right guidance, and then he also uses you as an example, saying that you have not been properly guided, and you are a little unconscionable.

A person who is truly guided and he will not do what you do. ”

After saying that, it looked at Uchiha Fugaku's house with a gloating expression.

Itachi is a bit more talented than Asuka, but as a psychic animal that has been with Asuka for a long time, it knows that Uchiha Asuka has behaved differently from ordinary people since he was a child.

It's a real difference, not the pretense of Uchiha Itachi.

Only four years old. Think about the meaning of life

Orochimaru can't do such a thing.
