She had been taking care of Uchiha Sasuke recently, and rarely went out.
However, a few days ago, while walking in the Uchiha clan's compound, she suddenly heard a passing clan member say that the young master had been going to a certain place recently, and that he was with a girl…
Immediately, Uchiha Mikoto, with her strong curiosity, became interested.
She knew how aloof her son was to outsiders, although he was really good to his family.
But once it came to the outside world, Itachi seemed to be a bit… awkward?
Although Itachi was only five years old now, Uchiha Mikoto was already considering what would happen if her son continued to be like this…
How would he find a girlfriend in the future?
Therefore, after hearing the clan members' discussion, she got the location of the shop and directly brought Sasuke to the shop.
Listening to Uchiha Mikoto's explanation, Shinji was a little helpless.
"Although, but this is the All-Purpose Shop, is it possible that you… came to the wrong place?" Shinji said directly.
He had already roughly confirmed that Uchiha Mikoto was definitely talking about the Three-Colored Dumpling shop next door.
But… she was already here.
If he didn't help her complete the task?
It wouldn't be right, would it?
"Wrong place?" Uchiha Mikoto was a little stunned, this?
"But, the services we provide at the All-Purpose Shop include… how about it, you sit down for a while, I'll take you to catch… uh… catch Itachi's girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? You mean Itachi-kun already has a girlfriend?" Although Uchiha Mikoto had already prepared herself mentally, she was still startled by Shinji's words.
"Of course."
"How do you know?" Uchiha Mikoto looked at Shinji with suspicion.
"This is the All-Purpose Shop, take a look, these are our shop rules." Shinji took out a menu-like paper, which listed the rules of the All-Purpose Shop.
"You can… ask about anything here?" Uchiha Mikoto looked at the All-Purpose Shop introduction in her hand with disbelief.
"Of course, honest and fair." Shinji didn't have any thoughts, he brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Uchiha Mikoto as usual.
"This tea aroma…" Uchiha Mikoto suddenly stopped, she had smelled this aroma before, wasn't it the most exquisite tea from the Land of Tea?
Besides, in the entire Leaf, it was said that only Sarutobi Hiruzen had some stock.
"This is the reward." Shinji smiled mysteriously.
"Reward…" Uchiha Mikoto looked at the last line on the paper, the line that said 'payment is at your discretion'.
Could this be the reward left by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen?
"Is there anything you want to ask? Madam." Shinji knew that the tea had given Uchiha Mikoto the wrong idea, but he didn't say anything.
"Then… I want to know who Itachi-kun's girlfriend is." Uchiha Mikoto only hesitated for a moment before letting go of her obsession, instead, she became curious about Itachi's mysterious girlfriend.
"Itachi-kun's girlfriend? Actually, she's also from your Uchiha clan." Shinji said directly.
"She's from our Uchiha clan?" Hearing this news, Uchiha Mikoto became even more curious.
Uchiha Mikoto had originally thought that her son might not be interested in girls, she didn't expect that he had secretly gotten a girlfriend…
"Yes, Uchiha Hizashi, do you know this name?"
"Uchiha Hizashi? This… seems to be the Chunin who came back from outside last year, right?" Uchiha Mikoto remembered that Uchiha Hizashi had been married outside for a long time, and only returned to the Uchiha clan last year.
[Shixie: IDK who is is , I only know one Hizashi from the Hyuga clan.]
"Yes, it's her. And your Itachi-kun's girlfriend is none other than Uchiha Hizashi's daughter, Uchiha Izumi." Shinji said calmly, revealing what he knew.
"..." Uchiha Mikoto looked at Shinji, if Shinji knew about Itachi and Izumi because he was near the dumpling shop, it wouldn't be surprising.
But even she had to think for a while before remembering Uchiha Hizashi, while Shinji seemed to know it like the back of his hand.
"If you don't believe me, they should be here soon…" Shinji looked at the clock on the wall, Itachi and Izumi usually came to the dumpling shop next door to eat three-colored dumplings around this time.
He walked to the entrance of the All-Purpose Shop and gently closed the door, after all, Uchiha Mikoto was sitting inside, a… wife is very conspicuous.
Uchiha Mikoto pulled the chair next to the tea table to the door,
and carefully observed the dumpling shop next door.
Fortunately, Itachi and Izumi didn't break their appointment today, they arrived at the dumpling shop next door at the same time.
Watching Itachi order three-colored dumplings for the two of them with ease, and the look in their eyes when they talked was something Uchiha Mikoto rarely saw.
This…
Children really grow up too fast.
They even kept this from their mother. This made Uchiha Mikoto's heart ache a little.
"Hmm?" Itachi, who was eating three-colored dumplings with Izumi, suddenly felt like he was being watched, as if a pair of eyes were constantly staring at him.
It made him feel a little uncomfortable.
This?
Itachi frowned, who was watching him?
"What's wrong, Itachi-kun?" Izumi, who was eating three-colored dumplings, raised her head and saw Itachi frowning.
She reached out her finger and gently massaged Itachi's tightly furrowed brow.
"You can't frown, it will make you old."
Feeling Izumi's delicate hand, Itachi couldn't help but smile.
Seeming to feel that her actions were a bit intimate, Izumi quickly drew her hand back, both of their faces flushed.
They had only confirmed their relationship not long ago, such intimate actions were a bit…
Stimulating.
"He touched her! He touched her! Hehe." Uchiha Mikoto didn't have the feeling of a mother-in-law seeing her daughter-in-law, she had already planned.
She would definitely tease her eldest son when she got back, to prevent him from always having a straight face.
She originally thought that Itachi was just someone who wouldn't show much expression.
Now, the interaction between him and Izumi was directly discovered by Uchiha Mikoto, which made her a bit angry.
So you were just pretending to be emotionless in front of us?
Hmm?
Uchiha Mikoto, who was originally very happy, was instantly unhappy. She had raised him for five years!
Five years! Do you know how I've spent these five years?
Uchiha Mikoto clenched her fists tightly, a murderous aura began to gather in her mind!
There's murderous intent!
Itachi directly stood up, there was no mistake about that murderous intent!
Someone was watching him!
Moreover!
It was malicious!
"What's wrong, Itachi-kun?" Izumi looked at Itachi's actions with even more confusion, Itachi clearly loved to eat three-colored dumplings, but today he hadn't even taken a bite.
Besides, in her impression, Itachi had always been very steady, why was he… a bit agitated today?
"Nothing, I've been sitting for too long today, I'm getting up to stretch." Itachi directly used an excuse to evade the question.
After all, he didn't want Izumi to know that he was being watched.
Where is it…
Itachi sat down, eating three-colored dumplings while sensing the surroundings.
However, when his perception swept over the All-Purpose Shop, Itachi's expression suddenly changed.
He… his perception couldn't sense the aura inside the All-Purpose Shop?
Moreover, it was like a transparent barrier, reflecting Itachi's perception back.
This?
Did he use a barrier?
He had been to the All-Purpose Shop twice before, although he thought that Shinji definitely had secrets, he didn't expect…
"What's wrong, Itachi-kun?" Uchiha Izumi felt that Itachi was really strange today, he was completely different from the Itachi she had known before.
"Nothing, I'll go check out the shop next door, you wait for me here." Itachi didn't answer, but directly stood up and walked towards the All-Purpose Shop.
"Itachi-kun?" Uchiha Izumi was a bit confused, but she quickly stood up and followed behind Itachi.
"Ah! What do I do, Itachi-kun and the others are coming! I have to hide quickly!" Uchiha Mikoto was a bit confused, this?
Why does it feel like I'm the one being caught?
"Madam, you wouldn't want your son to know about this, would you?"
But, just as Mikoto was still confused, the door to the All-Purpose Shop was pushed open by Itachi.
He had originally thought that there were some secrets inside the All-Purpose Shop, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw his mother.
Uchiha Mikoto!
Besides, Mikoto was holding his foolish little brother, Uchiha Sasuke, in her arms!
"Mo… Mother, how did you get here?" Itachi suddenly spoke a bit stutteringly.
He suddenly remembered that he had been eating three-colored dumplings with Uchiha Izumi.
If he wasn't mistaken, the sharp gaze he felt just now must have come from his mother!
In other words, his little secret had been discovered by Uchiha Mikoto!
"Itachi-kun, do you have something to explain to me?" Uchiha Mikoto crossed her arms and looked at her foolish son.
Her panic had only lasted a moment, she quickly reacted, after all, she was on the moral high ground!
"Uh, Mother, I still need to train…" Itachi stuttered, he didn't expect his mother to be in Shinji's shop.
He turned his head and saw Shinji sitting at the tea table, leisurely sipping his tea, seemingly not affected by what was happening here.
Damn it!
A thought flashed through Itachi's mind, his affair with Izumi must have been told to Uchiha Mikoto by Shinji!
"Training? Hmm? Are you going to lie in front of your little brother?" Uchiha Mikoto narrowed her eyes, this was the first time she had seen Itachi like this.
"Itachi-kun?" Just as Itachi didn't know how to answer, Uchiha Izumi's voice suddenly came from outside.
But it immediately stopped.
Because she had already seen the people inside the All-Purpose Shop.
Uchiha Mikoto!
She was the wife of the head of the Uchiha clan, a big shot!
Besides, she was Itachi-kun's mother, which made Izumi feel a bit restrained.
"You are… Uchiha Izumi, right?" Uchiha Mikoto walked around Itachi and went to Izumi's side, observing her from above.
