Chapter 57 Not a buddy?
Chapter 57 Not a buddy?
Izuna is very unhappy lately because his younger brother seems to care too much about that imprisoned Senju brat.
Although Madara recounted the events from beginning to end, Izuna still didn't have a good impression of Senju.
And I heard that the evil white-haired guy on the other side last time... what was his name again? Right, the evil Tobirama Senju! He actually stabbed my brother with a kunai without saying a word, and he bled a lot!
Izuna, who couldn't even bring himself to pinch Yan Yi's cheeks too hard, was practically fuming.
But now his younger brother often sneaks out to see that Thousand Hands brat after training!
Izuna was really annoyed! In his eyes, all the Senju clan members were evil...
Others might not know, but brothers who have always slept with their younger brother certainly know it all too well, like right now...
"Board...board between..."
Even in his sleep, Yan Yi was still unconsciously murmuring the other person's name.
Izuna sat on the bed, puffing out her cheeks and frowning as she watched her younger brother talk in his sleep.
I don't know what's so great about that Thousand Hands brat. All he did was save his younger brother's life, right? And the fact that he hasn't been killed yet is already repaying that debt!
"Izuna, don't be like this..." Madara sat up and said helplessly.
Hearing his older brother's words, Izuna's little hand, which was about to reach out and pinch his younger brother's cheek, stopped in mid-air.
"Yan Yi still has a mission today, it's very tiring, let him sleep a little longer."
"Hmm, alright..." Izuna hummed softly and lowered her hand.
He really liked his adorable third brother Yan Yi, so he would only blame that Thousand Hands brat for his brother's current state.
This made him even more curious, and he wanted to see what kind of guy that Thousand Hands brat was, that he could do this to his younger brother.
Yan Yi slowly woke up after the two brothers had finished washing up and were ready to go out for training.
"Um...brother...hmm?"
He called out instinctively, only to realize that his eldest and second eldest brothers were no longer beside him. Suddenly, he remembered that he was responsible for receiving guests today.
Rubbing her eyes and scratching her hair, Yan Yi muttered to herself, "I think I had a strange dream last night... Hmm, I can't remember... I just hope today's mission goes smoothly."
Yan Yi wasn't too nervous. Well... as long as that overly friendly brat didn't come along to join the fun, he believed he could handle it perfectly well!
......
At eight o'clock in the morning, Yan Yi had already prepared all the tea and snacks for the guests and was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Feathered Clan.
Although others will most likely only stay here for a few hours, nothing that needs to be done can be omitted. After all, according to Father, this concerns the dignity of the Uchiha clan...
"Hmm... I hope this time will be the same as before, and nothing goes wrong."
As Yan walked, he thought to himself that the recent unusual behavior of the Feathered Clan made him uneasy, even though everyone seemed to be getting along well on the surface.
At the main gate of the clan's territory, Yan Yi didn't have to wait long before he saw a group of ninjas rushing towards him from afar.
They were all dressed in blue-gray ninja combat uniforms, with a large full moon crest printed on their shoulder armor, and almost all of them had blue-gray hair.
This is a very obvious characteristic of the Feathered Robe Clan.
"Finally here..." Yan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could even greet them, he caught a glimpse of a small figure in the crowd out of the corner of his eye...
"what!"
He was startled. He had clearly observed the other team carefully, but he hadn't noticed that the clown had come along too.
Takita spotted Genichi from a distance, and his previously serious and wary eyes instantly lit up...
"Yan Yi! Yan Yi! I've come to play with you!" Takita ran happily toward Yan Yi, calling out Yan Yi's name as he ran.
"Hiss... He's here too..."
Yan Yi suddenly realized that she wouldn't have an easy morning.
When Takita approached, he was stopped by several ninjas beside Yan Yi. They had accompanied Yan Yi to the Hagoromo clan last time, so they knew very well how helpless their young master was with that annoying brat.
Takita, who was stopped, paused for a moment, looked up at Yan Yi with a somewhat sad expression, and then said to Yan Yi in a particularly aggrieved voice...as if he were trying to act cute?
"Waaah... Yan Yi, aren't you welcoming me...?"
Big eyes, a pouting little mouth, tears welling up in her eyes... and her chest rising and falling slightly with her breathing, her little fists clenching nervously...
Well, I have to say... putting aside his personality issues, Takita is actually quite cute when you look at him like this.
"Cough cough...no...nothing's wrong, don't cry, I'll play with you..."
Yan Yi compromised; this was the trick he was least good at dealing with! Although he often used this trick against Ban Ge and his gang because it was really effective.
"Great!"
Seeing Takita's sad expression instantly turn into a happy one, Yan Yi was completely stunned.
Well, kid, you were just faking it all along...
Because of Takita, the group, which should have been quiet and serious, became noisy and boisterous. Amidst the bewildered expressions of the Uchiha clan members, they finally sat down in the reception room.
Throughout this journey, Takita insisted on holding Yan Yi's hand the entire time, and every time Yan Yi tried to let go, he would show that sad expression...
So, in order not to hurt the little boy's feelings, Yan Yi... had no choice but to go along with him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the rest was no longer Yan Yi's concern. However, judging from the winking and gesturing he received from Takita across from him, he knew that the guy wasn't going to sit there quietly...
"Alright, Father's task was also to entertain them well..."
Yan Yi shook his head helplessly, apologized, and got up to walk out of the reception room. Two seconds after Yan Yi left, Takita immediately and quietly got up and followed him...
In the hallway, Takita rushed to Yan Yi's side and hugged her tightly, then said to Yan Yi with a happy face, "Let's go play!"
Seeing Takita clinging to him so inexplicably, Yan Yi was a little puzzled. Hadn't he already "disillusioned" the boy last time? Why was he still like this...?
"What do you want to play? What do you want to eat..." Yan Yi thought about the money in her pocket and suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
He really didn't have the money to treat this guy to a good meal. They were both young masters, but his own life was much harder in comparison.
"Anything's fine with me, how about you show me around..."
"All right..."
The two boys wandered aimlessly through the clan's territory. Yan Yi, whose hand was being held by the other, couldn't easily let go and was led around the area. However, Takita didn't seem very interested...
Because Yan Yi noticed that Takita's gaze had been fixed on him the whole time, as if he had never looked away from him.
"Uh...why are you looking at me like that..." Yan Yi was genuinely uncomfortable being stared at, but still couldn't help asking.
"Hmm? For no reason, it's because you're good-looking." Takita smiled, revealing two adorable fangs.
"..."
Yan Yi turned his face away awkwardly, his ears turning slightly red. Was he genuinely bad at handling these straight balls, or was it just a ridiculously difficult straight ball kicked by a complete idiot...?
"I thought about it last time! I realized that it might not matter if you're not a girl..."
"what?"
As Yan Yi listened to Takita's dangerous remarks, she gradually became frightened, and Takita's next sentence completely confirmed her worries...
"I just like you, Yan Yi, and... well, no one says it's wrong, right? Hehe~"
"no..."
Yan Yi was going crazy. How could he say something so incredibly embarrassing with that innocent and cute expression?
"I won't give up! Yan Yi, please don't reject me yet. I will try my best, please believe me... really!"
Takita turned around, took Genichi's hands, and his eyes no longer held the previous cynicism, but rather a strange sadness, and his tone... even had a hint of pleading.
"I...I'm not...I..."
Yan Yi was momentarily speechless; he didn't know how to answer and could only end up remaining silent...
