[V2] - Chapter 74. Bickering
---
"This one is Asuka, and this one is Yumi~ I didn't get it wrong, right? Hehe! You're here?" Seeing the two little girls arrive, the Chief Elder, who had been sitting with a stern face and arms crossed, immediately stood up cheerfully, bent down, and looked at the two little girls in front of him. "What well-behaved children~"
As his words fell,
Little Asuka blinked her curious eyes, looked at the elderly man in front of her, hesitated a little, but still said, "Hello, Grandpa~"
As for Little Yumi… this girl had been shy and bashful since birth. Her face was red as she hid behind Yuto, peeked out her cute little head, and said softly, "Hello… Grandpa~"
"Good, good, good! All good kids!" The Chief Elder burst out laughing happily, then looked up at Uchiha Yuto and the two women from the Byakugan clan. After they greeted him, he just nodded slightly. Then, looking at Uchiha Yuto, he suddenly felt melancholic and sighed. "Such a disgrace to the Uchiha!"
"…"
Why the sudden personal attack?
Yuto raised his brow and was just about to say something.
At that moment—
Elder Hana also arrived. With a cool expression, she nodded at the Chief Elder, then looked complexly at Uchiha Suzune and Uchiha Hanabi. In the end, she didn't say anything either. She lowered her head to look at the two little lolis in front of her, and couldn't help but smile slightly and nod. "Nice children!" Then after a brief pause, her eyes seemed a bit satisfied. "They have Byakugan!"
As those words fell—
Immediately, the Chief Elder's eyes twitched, seemingly very angry, jumping in place in frustration. "But their surname is Uchiha!"
That's right!
He won.
The Uchiha won!
However—
Elder Hana didn't care. Wearing a kimono, head held high with elegance and grace, she looked calmly at the Chief Elder and said flatly, "They have Byakugan!"
She is truly worthy of once being the famous "Flower on the High Mountain" of Konoha. Even though she's aged—
Her aura is still undiminished!
However—
"Pfft~~"
That one sentence—
It was like an arrow, piercing straight into the Chief Elder's chest, making him clutch his chest and stagger back two steps, angrily glaring at Yuto.
It's all this guy's fault.
Why don't they have Uchiha's Sharingan?
"…"
What does this have to do with me?!
Yuto rolled his eyes.
It looks like… with this tsundere attitude, there's no hope for the Chief Elder and Elder Hana!
However—
"That…"
He hadn't even finished speaking—
"You brat, shut up! Let me settle things with this old woman first!" The Chief Elder snorted coldly, glaring at Hyuga Hana, then stubbornly lifted his chin. "Their surname is Uchiha!"
"…" ×4
Chief Elder.
There is no hope!!!
Even Sasuke was twitching an eyelid from the side.
The fight continued.
Elder Hana placed her hands elegantly in front of her waist, sneered coldly, and said, "They have Byakugan!"
"Their surname is Uchiha!"
"They have Byakugan!"
"Can you stop talking about the Byakugan?!"
"Fine!" Hana snorted coldly in disdain, then her eyes sharpened, as if looking down on the old man in front of her, and said flatly, "They didn't inherit the Uchiha clan's bloodline!"
That statement—
"Pfft pfft pfft!!!"
Once again, like an arrow to the chest, the Chief Elder clutched his chest and stepped back again, trembling as he pointed, "You—you—you! You have no ninja ethics!"
How is that any different from what she said before—'They have Byakugan'?
However—
This scene—
Yuto really couldn't stand it anymore. If this went on, someone would collapse for sure. He shook his head. "Actually…"
Before he could finish—
The Chief Elder angrily shouted, "You brat, shut up! This is about the honor of the Uchiha!"
"…"
How is this about the honor of the Uchiha?
Yuto hadn't even finished speaking when—
"Even if they have Byakugan!" The Chief Elder looked at Elder Hana towering over him and slightly trembling, but still stubbornly raised his neck and said, "They're still Uchiha!"
As the words fell,
"Hmph! Childish!" Elder Hana sneered in disdain, then calmly looked at the Chief Elder. "They have Byakugan! I win!"
"I haven't lost yet!"
"At your age, you're still this childish and won't admit defeat!"
"Why should I admit defeat? You're also old…"
Before he could finish—
Suddenly—
Everyone felt a chill in the air around them. Even the two little girls were trembling in fear and tightly clutching their dad's pants.
So scary!
With their big sparkling eyes, they looked ahead.
Is Grandpa and Grandma fighting?
"Um…" The Chief Elder saw the cold gaze of Elder Hana and started trembling again, waving his hands. "What do you want? Uchiha taijutsu techniques are also very… powerful!"
"You want to try the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist?"
The atmosphere suddenly turned strange.
It was clear—
The Chief Elder had already lost this round. Didn't you see? Elder Hana was already towering over his shrunken figure.
This pressure—
Besides being tsundere, what else does the Chief Elder have to win?
Just as Yuto and the others were thinking whether they should retreat and go to Fugaku's place for a meal first before coming back—
Asuka softly asked, "Is Grandpa and Grandma going to fight?"
Then Yumi also carefully poked her head out and said timidly, "Fighting… fighting is bad!"
"Yumi is right!" Asuka nodded, then hesitated as she looked at Grandpa. "Is it because of our eyes?"
As the words fell, the two elders were momentarily stunned. Hearing such an innocent statement, they were instantly filled with guilt.
Why say such things in front of two children?
At their age!
It's truly embarrassing!
The Chief Elder once again happily patted Asuka's head and said kindly, "No, no! Grandpa was just joking with Elder Hana. These eyes are really beautiful!"
"That's right!" Elder Hana also smiled gently, looking at Asuka and Yumi in front of her, speaking softly, "Such adorable children!"
However—
"Actually…" Asuka hesitated again. Despite her young age, she blinked her bright eyes, leaned in close to the Chief Elder, and said quietly, "Asuka and Yumi's eyes can change! Dad said we're not supposed to tell anyone!"
As she spoke—
She closed and opened her eyes.
Under the shocked gaze of the two elders—
A pair of double tomoe Sharingan appeared directly!
Then she softly said, "Grandpa, you can't tell anyone either~"
As the words fell—
"?!"
Aside from those who already knew—Yuto, Hanabi, and Suzune—even Uchiha Sasuke was dumbfounded as he stared at those eyes. But soon after, he regained his composure.
However—
His heart was full of mixed feelings. Looking at Little Yumi: [She inherited this guy Yuto's bloodline… Could it be those White Zetsu chose a little girl for this reason?]
Are they preparing to raise a terrifying powerhouse?!
"These eyes…" The Chief Elder was momentarily stunned, then suddenly burst out in laughter, now looking down at Elder Hana, "I win!"
And then—
The two started bickering again.
Only this time…
Elder Hana seemed to be at a disadvantage, clenching her fists in frustration, coldly glaring at the Chief Elder, looking as if she were holding back from hitting him. "They… also have Byakugan!"
"…"
Everyone once again looked speechlessly at the smug, gloating Chief Elder, and all let out a sigh in their hearts.
There is no hope!
Yuto shook his head, once again took the children's hands, and looked at Sasuke. "Let's head over first."
"Alright." Sasuke nodded expressionlessly.
Then—
The six of them no longer disturbed the two elders and quietly walked toward the outside.
Only—
After just a few steps, Sasuke turned his head again to look at the Chief Elder and Elder Hana, eyes filled with complexity, and muttered to himself, "Uchiha and Hyuga?"
Thinking about it… it really was a bit unbelievable.
Then he glanced at the family walking beside him… the corners of his mouth curved slightly, but he said nothing and kept walking forward.
After a short while—
A familiar scene came into view.
Sasuke's eyes once again turned complex as he looked ahead.
Home…
At that moment—
"Uncle Yuto!" ×2
Two familiar voices rang out.
Sasuke paused, then as if realizing something, his gaze naturally shifted toward the voices—only to see two familiar figures.
Especially one of them… it truly evoked nostalgia.
However—
His eyelid twitched.
He turned his head, also looking complexly at Yuto, who was grinning and shouting [First Nephew and Second Nephew].
"You…"
Before he could finish—
Yuto cheerfully patted Sasuke on the shoulder, let out a melancholic sigh, and looked at Sasuke seriously. "I really want to hear you call me 'Uncle' just once!"
"…Get lost!"
As expected—
After seeing Dad, Mom, and Onii-chan here, he should quickly leave!
This Ninja World—
It's not worth staying in!
