Chapter 1069: Happiness and loneliness

Time flies. It has been three years since the nine tails attacked Konoha. Although the memories of that night are still deeply imprinted in the minds of the villagers, life has long since returned to calm, and the reconstructed Konoha village has reproduced the prosperity of the past.
But the surface calmness cannot conceal the undercurrents in the dark. In the silence, some things change.
The relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village has become increasingly tense. As early as two years ago, Uchiha's clan had moved out of the core area of ​​Konoha Village, and there was a faint feeling of isolation.
The Security Department belonging to Uchiha has also been greatly restricted, and its rights have been further reduced. You must ask Hokage to call the shots.
The exchanges between the two sides have gradually decreased, and everything has developed in the worst direction.
But these are just undercurrents after all, for ordinary villagers, there is no impact, especially for children, every day is carefree.

In the home of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi, who has just completed the mission, steps into the house. Although he is only eight years old this year, he graduated from the ninja school last year and can perform missions with the rest of the ninjas.
This time, he cooperated with the Anbe of the Hokage Department to destroy a ninja organization on the border of the country of fire, and spent a month.
The moment he stepped into the house, a small figure quickly rushed towards him, grabbed his ninja bag, and said with excitement: "Brother, I know you will be back today. I have been waiting for you since the morning. Well, tell me about your mission this time."
Uchiha Itachi smiled and looked at his younger brother, with a touch of warmth in his heart.
At this time, a beautiful young woman in an apron walked out of the house, still holding the kitchen utensils for cooking, and said: "Sasuke, don't pester my brother, he has just performed a task and needs a rest." Then she smiled at Itachi: "Welcome home, Itachi, are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon."
Uchiha Itachi smiled and said, "Don't bother mom, and it's not a secret. Sasuke wants to listen to him."
"Brother is the best." Sasuke cheered, with a smile on his face.
Itachi led him back into the room, smiling to tell him the details of this mission, nothing more than some conventional tactics, and he was not the protagonist, but Sasuke listened with gusto.
Uchiha Mikoto was busy in the kitchen non-stop. It was noon, it was time for lunch.
Mikoto put a plate of dishes on the table, turned around and shouted: "Itachi, Sasuke, stop talking, wash your hands and eat!"
The two hurriedly got up and sat down at the dining table shortly afterwards. Itachi glanced around and wondered: "Mom, why didn't you see your father?"
Mikoto sighed and sat down and said, "Your father has gone to the Great Elder, so you don't have to wait for him."
Itachi raised his eyes, picked up his chopsticks and said calmly: "Has my father often not eat at home these days?"
Uchiha Mikoto nodded and said, "Yes, our relationship with the village is getting worse and worse. Your father often visits several elders to hold clan meetings, and I don't know what the final result will be."
She did not shy away from the two children. Itachi himself is a genius of Uchiha's clan. Uchiha Tomitake has decided to let him enter the core of Uchiha. These things do not need to be hidden.
As for Sasuke, it was simply because he was too young to understand the meaning behind these words.
Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi didn't ask much, he finished the meal quickly, and continued to chat with Sasuke with a smile.
"By the way, Sasuke, in two years, you will be enrolled in a ninja school, right." Uchiha Itachi asked suddenly while drinking tea after dinner.
"En, en." Sasuke nodded again and again, "Yes, I can't wait for a long time. I will definitely get the first place in the entrance exam, just like my brother did."
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but laugh, his younger brother was really competitive.
Admissions to Konoha Ninja School are generally set at the age of five to six, and students usually graduate at about twelve years old.
Of course, there is no absolute in everything. Konoha is a ninja's village after all, and ninjas speak with strength.
As long as you feel that you have enough strength, you can apply for graduation at any time, as long as you can pass the graduation exam.
During the war, the school even relaxed the age limit for enrollment. In Konoha's history, there was a precedent for children aged three or four to enter school.
As for those geniuses who graduated early, they are countless. Of course, the current record holder is Kakashi Hagi.
He enrolled at the age of five and graduated at the age of five, keeping his record far ahead, and no one has shaken it so far.
Even Uchiha Itachi graduated at the age of seven.
"I just finished the task. There are a few days off, Sasuke, how about I take you out of the village to catch wild boars in the afternoon?" Uchiha Itachi thought of something and suggested, "I can be considered as my brother’s special training for you. Up."
A surprise appeared on Uchiha's face, his small eyes widened, "Really...really, don't regret it."
Itachi smiled and beckoned to him, Sasuke hurriedly moved in, but was flicked between Itachi's two fingers.
"Oh, it hurts!"
In the room, there were bursts of laughter and laughter. In any case, for Sasuke Uchiha, his childhood was a happy one.
...
Where there is happiness, there is loneliness, another place in Konoha Village.
Squeak...
The door opened, and the door of the house that had not been lived in for several years was opened again. Here, it was once the home of the fourth generation of Hokage.
"Hey, that little fox, this will be your home from today. Live a good life by yourself, don't cause trouble to the village. Daily necessities and monthly living expenses will be sent to you by someone special."
The speaker was an obese middle-aged woman, and her tone was never friendly. She is a staff member of an orphanage in Konoha. Today, she received an order from her boss to send a child back to his own home.
Behind her, a small figure with yellow hair stuck out his head, and looked curiously at the so-called "home" covered with dust.
However, before he could see clearly, an arm had lifted him up, and his body was still inside the door bang, followed by a loud closing sound.
Beside him, a bunch of keys were thrown in in advance.

The little tail of the new group number: 465501993..
