Chapter 283: 275. A Smile Worth Fighting For
A/N:- Hello guys! I am back with the updates. The presentation didn't go as smooth as I want it to. As usual there is that one asshole in the judges committee that you can't convince no matter what. Out of five professors, I got a score of 8-10 from them but the last guy gave me 6 which averaged me around 7.5 out of 10. I was hoping for 8 or above but this is what it is.
--------------------
A week later,
Aww… Aww…
Ayaka is angrily hitting Izuna's chest with her small hands.
"Onii-chan, you BAKA! BAKA!!"
Aww… Aww…
"It hurts Ayaka-chan! Nii-chan hasn't recovered yet!"
Izuna helplessly raises his hand.
"Hmph! Why did you leave me there?"
Ayaka angrily turns her head away and pouts.
"Well! How about it this, I will make it to you some other time?" Izuna helplessly shakes his head.
"Yeaaahhh!! Promise!" Ayaka happily turns over.
"Promise!" Izuna nods his head.
"Ne… Ne… Onii-chan! I have a gift for you."
"Eh?! Really!"
Izuna looks at her with anticipation.
Ayaka pulls out a heart shape box from a bag and presents it to Izuna.
Gulp…
Izuna gulps his saliva as his expression turns bitter.
"Hehe… There was no need for you to go to such lengths. Onii-chan would have recovered on his own." He grabs the box with shaking hands.
Fufu… Fufu…
On the nearby bed,
Shisui and Itachi are snickering as they look at Izuna's miserable condition. There is anticipation in their eyes as they wait for Izuna to eat the cookies.
'Heh! Laughing at my misery! How could I allow you two to get away scot-free?'
He turns to Ayaka and pats her head.
"Onii-chan is happy to receive this gift from you! But I think you should share it with Shisui and Itachi too! Look at the anticipation in their eyes! They can't wait to eat your cookies!"
Izuna points towards Shisui and Itachi.
"Really?!"
Ayaka turns towards the duo and notices the look of anticipation.
"Yes, Onii-chan you are right!"
"Of course! How can I eat these cookies before them?"
"I have made plenty of cookies."
She walks towards them with her bag. Shisui's and Itachi's expression turns ugly as they notice Ayaka walking towards them.
Gulp…
Both of them gulp their saliva and groan in pain.
"See! They can't hold their excitement!"
Izuna adds the fuel to the fire.
Ayaka passes two boxes of chocolate to them and smiles.
"Recover soon! Shisui Nii-san and Itachi Nii-san!"
Both of them could only smile helplessly, looking at the innocent smile on Ayaka's gaze.
'Nii-san is a devil! He is using such a pure angel to punish us.'
Crunch… crunch…
Both of them take a bite of the piece of charcoal and smile blissfully at Ayaka.
"How is it Shisui and Itachi Nii-san? I have put lots of effort into them!" Ayaka looks at them with anticipation.
"It's very good! I love it!" Shisui praises her as he savors the chocolate.
Fufu…
Izuna snickers at their misery.
"Onii-chan! Eat yours too. I especially made it for you to recover soon. I don't want you to miss your wedding next week." Ayaka smiles at him.
"I will eat it!"
Izuna's expression turns pale but takes a bite nonetheless to appease Ayaka.
'How can I not eat this after seeing that smile!"
"Alright! Then I will be off. I have to make lots of preparations for the wedding. I want to plan the decoration of your wedding."
Ayaka hops out of the hospital.
Growl…
Izuna, Shisui, and Itachi clutch their stomach as it grumbles loudly.
Whoosh…
All three of them appear in front of a bucket.
Izuna grabs the bucket to puke. Shisui and Itachi also contest with him.
"There is only one bucket and we are three. So, let me go first since I am the eldest." Izuna pulls it towards him.
"If that's the case, then Nii-san, you should care for your younger brothers. I am the youngest among us three. So, I should get the chance first!" Itachi pulls it towards him.
"You two can decide your turn. Let me puke first!"
Shisui pulls the bucket towards him.
"Damn it! Let me go first! I am your elder brother!"
"Hey! It doesn't apply here!"
"Shisui, Itachi! I will take a bullet for you both. This cookie is a small thing. So, you two should also sacrifice some things."
Bang…
The door is flung open as three figures enter the room.
Mei, Yugao, and Izumi enter the room.
"Mei! Help me!"
Izuna's face has turned bluish-green from holding himself.
"Yugao!" Shisui also stretches his hand for help.
"Izumi! Help me!" Itachi turns towards Izumi.
Pfft…
The girls burst out in laughter, looking at the hilarious expression of the trio.
"Look at the miserable expression of the three strongest Ninjas of the village." Izumi chuckles.
"They can't even handle one of Ayaka's sweets." Yugao holds her hand in front of her face.
"This means Ayaka is the strongest Ninja of the village." Mei bursts into laughter as she helps Izuna.
Bleurgh…
The three of them relieve themselves and turn to the ladies.
"You won't understand the pain of being a big brother!"
"Alright! We got it!"
The ladies burst out in laughter again.
Izuna stares at the smiles of the group and the corner of his lips curves in a smile.
He was worried about Shisui's love life since the latter never had any interest in any girls. He has Mei to take care of him. Itachi had Izumi as his die-hard fan since childhood. Even Kakashi had a girl waiting for him.
As for Guy, he is just Guy. So, let's not talk about him. But there is more to Shisui than meets the eye.
'This fucker has been silently dating Yugao for the past eight years. From the day, he joined the Anbu to this very date.'
Izuna silently curses at Shisui for hiding this for such a long time.
Initially, Yugao had a crush on him, but he never paid any heed to it. Since he was busy training. Later, Yugao realized it was just pure admiration, not love. Later, she met with Shisui who just joined the Anbu.
Slowly, slowly as both of them went through countless life and death situations together; love bloomed between them. Both of them secretly dated each other for eight years until Izuna caught them red-handed one day.
"I never expected Shisui to be such a dark horse of love!"
Izuna chuckles and shakes his head. He turns towards Mei and opens his arm in anticipation.
Slap…
Mei tightly slaps his face.
"You idiot! You should have at least informed me before you underwent such a huge battle. What if something happened to you? How could I and our child live without you!"
"Our child!"
Izuna turns towards Mei's womb with anticipation. He activates his Sharingan to inspect the baby.
Hmph…
Mei blocks his eyes with her hands.
"It was supposed to be a surprise for our wedding, but you made me ruin it. Now don't ruin it further! I want to experience the bliss and anticipation of a mother." Mei chides him.
"Alright! I won't." He helplessly raises his hand.
'It's already ruined for me. Damn! Is this price I have to pay for knowing too much?' He complains to himself, but there is a stupid smile on his face.
'I am finally a father!'
He wraps his hand around Mei and silently listens to the faint heartbeat of the baby.
"Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"Yes! I do." Mei nods her head.
"If it's a boy, I will name him Tatsuya. If it's a girl, I will name her Kanna!" Mei proudly raises her head.
"Then I am anticipating a pair of twins." Izuna smiles sheepishly.
"No! You!" Mei pinches his ears.
Haha…
She smiles at him and nods her head.
"Me too!"
Izuna soundly lies down in her lap and turns to Shisui, who is being scolded by Yugao.
"Hey, Shisui! Yugao! When are you guys planning to marry? It has been eight years already! Will you still keep us hanging?"
"N… Nii-san!" Shisui stutters in embarrassment.
"The bride is ready! But this idiot told me, he won't marry unless Izuna Nii-san is married." Yugao shakes her head.
Haha…
"Then why don't we double the celebration by holding your marriage together with ours." Izuna proposes.
"Yes! That's a good idea!" Yugao nods her head and elbows Shisui.
"Yes! That's a very good idea." Shisui also nods his head.
"Nii-san! Make it triple! If not this bro-con Itachi won't even look at me!" Izumi complains.
"It's not like this!" Itachi complains.
Haha…
The rest of the group burst out in laughter.
"It's decided then! The Uchiha clan will hold a triple marriage ceremony!"
Akira, Yagami, Fugaku, Aiko, Fumiko, and Mikoto barges into the room as they had playful smiles on their faces.
"You were listening!" Shisui questions in embarrassment.
"Fufu… of course!" Fumiko chuckles at him.
"Ara! I never expected my Itachi to already bring a bride." Mikoto teases him.
"MOM!" Itachi turns his head away in embarrassment.
"Since your childhood, I have already considered Izumi as my daughter. This marriage is just a formality!" Mikoto chuckles and holds Izumi's hands.
"Right! Izumi-chan!"
"Yes!" Izumi meekly nods her head.
"See!" Mikoto nods her head in satisfaction.
"Yay! There will be three marriages which will triple the fun!"
Ayaka jumps in excitement.
"Now I get to plan all of their marriages!"
Akira, Yagami, and Fugaku smile at their sons as they reminisce about the moments of their marriages.
"Ah! It's good to be young!"
They sigh silently.
Izuna silently gazes at the smiles of his family members.
'Now this is a smile worth fighting for!'

A/N:- Comment on the ships. Izuna and Itachi's were obvious, but what about Shisui? Also, comment your thoughts on the comedy and slice of life part of the story. Is it forced or does it seem Natural? Does the interaction between the group look forced? Also, comment your thoughts on the Urashiki fight in its entirety.
That being said!
Have a nice day!
