NARUTO- CH-177. Izumi

He then kept silent and remained aloof.

"You're back? Why didn't you shout?"

Mikoto half-knelt in front of the coffee table.

Her long, straight black hair fell to her hips.

The kimono she was wearing was stretched very tight in this posture, showing off her graceful curves.

"…"

Sasuke was silent.

He didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Mikoto didn't care.

She finished wiping the coffee table and went into the kitchen with a rag.

After a while, she appeared in front of them again.

She washed her hands, and her fair skin was covered with water droplets.

"How did you do on the test?"

After wiping her hands clean on her apron, Mikoto poured them two glasses of water.

"First."

Shiki said casually.

"As expected of Shiki."

Mikoto suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Sasuke, don't be discouraged, you two have gifts."

"I'm number one too."

Sasuke said, dissatisfied.

"Are you both number one?"

Uchiha Mikoto covered her mouth with her hands, a little surprised.

"…"

Sasuke snorted.

He was really going to be angry!

Whose mother are you anyway?

"Aunt Mikoto."

Seeing this, Shiki changed the subject and said, "Sasuke and I were assigned to Team 7, and our leader is Hatake Kakashi."

"Very good!"

Mikoto clapped her hands and said with a smile on her face, "Today is indeed worth celebrating!"

Sasuke curled his lips.

It was hard to continue after being interrupted like this.

But you guys are singing the same tune, which is a bit too well-coordinated.

"Sasuke, what do you want to eat?"

Mikoto said as she held out her hand.

"I can eat anything."

Sasuke leaned back and said.

"Okay!"

Mikoto smiled happily.

Her hands suddenly accelerated and pinched Sasuke's face twice.

"Childish."

Sasuke said with a straight face.

Shiki couldn't help but smile.

This auntie really had a youthful mentality.

"Sasuke, go and ask Izumi to have dinner with you."

Mikoto said with a smile.

Izumi, as in Uchiha Izumi.

She opened the Three Magatama Sharingan at the age of thirteen. Now she was eighteen years old and a leader among the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.

As the clan leader, Mikoto naturally kept in touch with her clan members from time to time.

"Okay."

Uchiha Sasuke stood up with a cold expression.

"This child."

Mikoto looked at Shiki and said, "He doesn't usually have this attitude."

When there were outsiders around, did he automatically enter the pretentious mode?

Shiki nodded and said, "Aunt Mikoto, let me help you cook."

"No need."

Mikoto put her hands on his shoulders and said softly, "Auntie will treat you today."

It wasn't that she disliked the food he cooked.

Ever since Fugaku's death, she often invited Shiki to her home.

She knew about his cooking skills.

"That's fine."

Shiki didn't insist any longer.

Mikoto loosened her hand, touched his head, and turned toward the kitchen.

After a moment, the door opened.

Shiki turned to look.

Behind Sasuke, there was a girl wearing a purple cheongsam with beautiful long hair.

"Shiki."

Izumi walked up to him barefoot and said with a smile, "Look what your sister brought you."

As she spoke, she picked up the plastic bag in her hand, which contained a box of octopus balls.

"Thank you, Sister Izumi."

Shiki opened the plastic box and asked, "It looks really good. Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes."

Izumi turned around and said, "Sasuke, come and eat too."

"…"

Sasuke was speechless.

Every time Shiki was at home, his status automatically decreased by one.

This may be someone else's child.

Sasuke picked up a toothpick, speared an octopus ball, and put it into his mouth.

After chewing for a while, he said, "It's too sweet, you guys eat it."

He didn't like sweets.

But...Itachi did.

Sasuke sat on the sofa in silence, picked up the water cup, and took two sips.

Izumi glanced at him, thoughtful.

She thought for a moment and said, "Shiki, give it to Aunt Mikoto to try."

"OK."

Shiki stood up and went to the kitchen.

Mikoto was standing in front of the oil pan, frying tempura.

Because it was too hot, her skin was faintly damp.

"Aunt Mikoto, this was made by Izumi."

Shiki picked up an octopus ball and put it into her mouth.

Mikoto bit it and then rolled it into her mouth.

She looked at Shiki and suddenly said with emotion, "You're as tall as your aunt now."

Five years ago, he was still a tiny kid.

In the blink of an eye, he had become an adult.

Time was amazing.

Mikoto thought of Sasuke again.

He was just over 1.5 meters tall now, a head shorter than Shiki.

A little worrying.

Mikoto's mouth was filled once again.

As she chewed, her puffy cheeks returned to normal.

"Okay, I don't want to eat anymore."

Mikoto refused with a smile.

Shiki ate up the last four octopus balls.

When he returned to the living room, he found the atmosphere a little tense.

What did Izumi and Sasuke talk about?

But he didn't ask.

Half an hour later, dinner officially began.

Shiki had eaten here many times, so there was no question-and-answer session about whether the food was delicious or not.

After dinner, Mikoto took the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Izumi didn't stay long and said goodbye before leaving.

In the end, only Sasuke and Shiki were left.

"Have you learned Chidori?"

Shiki asked, taking the initiative to bring up the topic.

"What is Chidori?"

Sasuke asked back.

"Uncle Kakashi's famous ninjutsu."

Shiki said with a smile.

"So it's called Chidori?"

Sasuke showed realization on his face and asked, "Is it amazing?"
