Chapter 2 Is it healthy for you to eat snacks as meals?
On the streets of Konoha Village.
The little boy was holding a crow and looked extremely pitiful, especially because the crow looked very fierce.
The cute little boy and the jet-black ominous bird...
The painting style doesn't quite match.
Several little devils walked past them crazily, noticed the crow on Uchiha Itachi's arm, and dispersed with shouts.
Even though there was a little girl who seemed to want to talk, when she saw Kitahara with red eyes, she timidly bit her lip and left.
Originally, Uchiha Itachi was not good at communicating with people, but now that he has brought such a bird that is not easy to mess with based on his appearance, there are even fewer children talking to him.
"This is our village..." Uchiha Itachi didn't care, he just pressed his slightly sore arm and whispered: "Konoha Ninja Village."
"Gah..."
Beiyuan noticed his predicament, flew up lightly, and landed on his shoulder.
Because its current size was larger than the little boy's head, Uchiha Itachi involuntarily tilted his head to make room, but this was always much more comfortable.
The crow's feathers gently brushed his little face, making him feel warm and itchy.
"Those... kids just now, they are the same age as me." Uchiha Itachi tilted his head and watched their figures disappear into the street, his tone was a little low: "But... we are obviously not suitable to be together."
It's not like he doesn't want friends.
However, Uchiha Itachi was confused by the battles between ninjas and was not interested in children's games of playing house.
"Gah..."
Beiyuan spread his wings and patted the little boy's hair softly, as if to comfort him.
The little boy's cheeks were slightly red, and with a smile on his face, he walked towards the commercial street in the village.
"There is a takoyaki shop in front of me, and the taste is just average. But during the summer festival, there were many people queuing up, so it was difficult to buy. It was strange..."
"You can often meet ninja-sama in the skewers here, but I don't like the taste... The story of ninja is very good, but the adults are very noisy when they are drunk, and dad is not immune..."
"This three-color meatball tastes sweet...but dad doesn't like sweets..."
Itachi Uchiha was talking nonchalantly. This was a rare experience for him. Throughout his entire life, he would only talk so much when facing the second pillar...
Whether it's sweet words or cruel words to my brother...
The little boy noticed that the crow on his shoulder was looking at the meatball shop, with some joy on his face: "Do you want to eat this? Let's go buy some!"
"...Gah..."
Beihara screamed weakly, you little brat obviously wants to eat more! But, there are no children who don't eat sweets...
Perhaps it was precisely because Uchiha Fugaku refused to indulge his son's sweet appetite that Itachi would never forget it for the rest of his life!
Beiyuan focused his attention on the little boy who was happily paying for money. He obviously loved sweets the most, but he had suffered a lifetime of hardship...
Wait for it to figure out the chakra in the body and the activation methods of those ninjutsu, and see if it can...
"Hmm...crows can also eat sweets?" Uchiha Itachi held the small bag and kept looking at the string of three-color meatballs in his hand and Kitahara's eyes, swallowing involuntarily.
"..."
His red eyes tended to turn white... Kitahara knew very well what he was thinking about the little boy!
"Gah!"
The crow suddenly stretched out its sharp claws, took out a red pill, and swallowed it quickly!
I really wanted to give you a hand, but I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t let you go even with a bunch of meatballs!
Are all the Uchiha family members so fussy...
Beiyuan thought to himself, tasting the taste of meatballs in his mouth. This taste is too boring!
"Huh? Don't you like eating it?" The little boy looked at Beiyuan and turned his head away. He seemed to have no interest in the meatballs, so he happily took a bite.
A bag of three-color meatballs quickly bottomed out.
Uchiha Itachi finished the meatballs and burped with satisfaction. He seemed to feel that he had lost his image. The little boy quickly straightened his body.
Beiyuan was stunned...
Hey, hey, these three-color meatballs are not even qualified as snacks! But you eat them as food...
"Gah..."
Seeing the pasta residue on the little boy's face, Beihara subconsciously stretched out his wings...
"Ah, thank you!" Uchiha Itachi wiped the corners of his mouth first and showed a decent and perfect smile.
It seems that I haven't been so happy for a long time after returning from the battlefield... The last time was when his father praised him for throwing shurikens.
"Itachi, aren't you going home yet?"
"Mother-in-law, I'll go back right away!"
"The weather is getting colder and colder, don't let Mikoto-sama worry!" The old woman left shakily, with a dough fan exposed from the back of her robe.
It seems that since the Third Ninja War, there is no more enthusiastic boy to help the old lady go home...
"yes!"
Itachi straightened his body upright and responded, his hair sticking tightly to the crow's wings.
After a while, he stretched out his arm and motioned for Beiyuan to stand on his arm: "Do you want to go home with me?"
"Gah!"
Of course, Kitahara is not a pure crow... He is interested in the life of Konoha ninja!
"..."
Itachi silently patted the crow's wings. He needed to make up a story about this crow...
Whether it's jumping off a cliff today or secretly eating sweets, your parents will definitely scold you.
But that's not a problem. He, Itachi Uchiha, has a talent for telling stories!
The Uchiha family's residence is still in the bustling street of the village. Perhaps because birds of a feather flock together, or perhaps for other reasons, there are ninjas coming and going in all directions.
Today is the day when Konoha buries the heroes who died in the Third Ninja War... There is more or less sadness on their faces.
"The meaning of life is so heavy, why is there still a war..."
The little boy's emotions were inevitably infected by others. He quietly stepped into the home and closed the door.
"Is Itachi back?"
Perhaps because Itachi was still an only child, his parents paid a lot of attention and pampering. His mother, Uchiha Mikoto, walked out of the room to greet him while talking.
"Is mom cooking?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at the apron on his mother's body. Normally at this time, he would go to the kitchen to do some work within his power to reduce his mother's burden.
But today…
"Crow? Is it a pet? Why did you bring it home?"
She saw the crow on her child's arm at a glance, and she suddenly became suspicious. Itachi has been very mature since he was a child and rarely showed concern for foreign affairs. Today he brought home a crow...
Itachi shook his head and thought for a while before replying: "No, they are the friends I just made today."
"..."
Her son usually ignores little girls and ignores little boys. Two days ago, she and her husband Fugaku discussed whether Itachi might feel that he was too withdrawn and whether he needed to find a way...
As a result, the son found a crow as a friend...and this was the first friend he admitted in front of his parents.
"Can you tell me something? How did you meet?"
Uchiha Mikoto looked at Beihara. It was a fierce-looking crow, and its red eyes made it look like it was not easy to mess with.
