Chapter 8: No More Children, the Uchiha Clan Can't Handle It!
Usually, a guide master evaluates their students on the first day and takes them on a mission the next day.
However, due to an unexpected situation yesterday, Tobio Uchiha gave his students the second day off. His three students took a sick day.
Although ninjas have great vitality, they are still human after all.
Tobio brought some fruit to visit Iruka first, whose condition was the mildest—just a sore throat and unable to speak.
"Ah~ ah~ ah~"
Hearing Iruka struggle to say something, Tobio placed the watermelon on the table, turned to him, and said worriedly:
"Iruka, avoid using your voice too much, rest in bed, and eat the watermelon I brought you. Your throat will get better."
"Ah~"
Iruka responded with a hoarse voice, looking at the watermelon on the table and then at his worried teacher. It was hard for others to understand what he felt at that moment.
He wanted to change teachers, but he didn't know if it was possible.
"Well, I have to see the others, rest."
With that, Tobio disappeared in an instant and appeared outside the window. After orienting himself a bit, he headed to Yugao's house.
She had diarrhea.
Feeling bad about her condition because of him, Tobio went to the fruit shop and chose the most expensive fruit.
When he arrived at Yugao's house and saw the freshly washed sheets and clothes in the yard, he frowned and muttered:
"Is the diarrhea that bad?"
Knock, knock, knock!
He knocked on the door and, after a while, a weak voice responded from inside:
"The door is open."
Hearing this, Tobio turned the doorknob and entered. He saw that Yugao's house was clean and tidy, and nodded in approval.
It was cleaner than his own house, at least there was no cat hair.
That fat cat was always shedding. He would have to shave it sooner or later.
He waited at the door for a moment, and not seeing anyone coming to greet him, he peeked in and said softly:
"Hello, is anyone home? I'm Yugao's guide master, Tobio Uchiha."
"Ma... master?"
Yugao jumped off the sofa, holding her stomach, and looked at Tobio Uchiha at the door with fear.
Why had he come?
And why did he have a durian in his hand?
Damn it! Did he want her to eat durian rind?
Thinking of this, Yugao swallowed hard and took a step back, her eyes filled with tears, trembling.
"Ma... master, why have you come?"
"Ah!"
Tobio had already taken off his shoes and entered the living room. He placed the durian on the table and looked at his pale student, apologizing.
"Sorry, I already arrested the merchant who sold the fish oil yesterday. Today I learned you weren't feeling well, so I bought the most expensive fruit to visit you."
With that, Tobio patted the durian.
He had never eaten it himself, mainly because its appearance and smell were so repulsive that he didn't feel like it.
Seeing the spiky durian, Yugao shivered. It was not a fruit everyone enjoyed, and she certainly didn't enjoy it.
But seeing Tobio Uchiha sit on the sofa and start peeling the durian, she forced a smile and said weakly:
"Thank you, master, but you didn't have to buy such an expensive fruit."
"Don't worry!"
Tobio gestured for Yugao to come over and handed her the peeled durian, saying worriedly:
"As a former medical ninja, I know well what patients need to eat. Yugao, you're weak, this will be good for you. Try it."
Seeing the concern on Tobio's face, Yugao looked down at her stomach. She didn't dare to look him in the eyes and whispered:
"No... no need."
"Do you know about the rules Tsunade set for medical ninjas?"
Saying this, Tobio stood up and walked toward Yugao, speaking as he approached.
"The three rules of medical ninjas. First, a medical ninja must not abandon a comrade until they are dead. Second, comrades must follow the medical ninja's treatment instructions unconditionally. Now we are a team."
"But..."
Seeing her master approach, Yugao raised her hand to reject him and stepped back.
Before she could finish speaking, Tobio suddenly appeared in front of her as if he had teleported.
So fast!
Mmm! Mmm!
Tobio stuffed the durian flesh into her mouth and, seeing his student resist, his hands emitted a green glow. One hand covered her mouth, and the other touched her stomach, saying:
"Yugao, you know, when I stopped being a medical ninja, many people strongly opposed it. Even Tsunade, who was in the casino, packed up her things and returned to Konoha. She said I brought her bad luck and, because of me, she lost millions. She wanted me to pay her back."
"Is this the smell of a man? It smells like gardenias."
Yugao felt that every time she inhaled, the delicate aroma of gardenias entered her nose and reached her lungs. And every time she exhaled, the aroma returned to her lungs. It felt like inhaling her father's smoke, making her dizzy. At that moment, she no longer perceived the strong smell of durian. All she thought about was the aroma of gardenias.
"Hey!"
Seeing Yugao's red face, Tobio waved his hand in front of her eyes, surprised.
"It's not that bad, right?"
"What?"
Yugao came to her senses and blinked, not understanding what her master was saying.
"I covered your mouth only to stop you from spitting out the durian. I've had financial losses recently and don't want to see food wasted. But why did you lick my hand?"
Looking at the saliva on his hand, Tobio looked at Yugao with a different expression.
He understood that kind of thing. In the ninja academy, his classmates, obsessed with his appearance, did many crazy things to attract him.
But he was their master.
Had the ninja academy changed? Or had the ninja world changed?
Jiraiya's novels didn't have that kind of flavor yet.
Whoosh!
Yugao's face turned even redder immediately. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly and quickly defended herself.
"I was just eating durian."
"I understand."
Saying this, Tobio Uchiha patted Yugao's shoulder and shook his head.
"When I was at the ninja academy, the girls in my class used to swap my lunch with the ones they made by hand while I went to the bathroom. Back then, I was quite naive and ate whatever.
But one day, I accidentally saw a girl cooking and her saliva falling into the food. From that day until I graduated, I only ate twice a day.
Once in the morning and once at night.
At noon, I endured with sheer willpower."
"Ah!"
After sighing, Tobio jumped out the window and left Yugao's house.
He didn't expect that even as a master...
"Tobio-sama, the clan leader wants to see you!"
While he was distracted, a guy about 1.70 meters tall, wearing a black high-neck short-sleeved shirt, long black pants, and a button nose, appeared in front of him.
"Shisui Uchiha?"
Recognizing the person, Tobio stopped and looked at Itachi standing next to Shisui. Scratching his nose, he asked curiously:
"The clan leader's son still wets the bed. Why do you like playing with him so much?"
Hearing this, Itachi's face darkened. He took out a kunai from his bag and waved it in the air before saying expressionlessly:
"I'm going to the forest to train with Brother Shisui."
Ha!
Tobio blew on his fist and punched Itachi's head.
Boom!
Itachi felt the impact of a strong blow on his head, and his mind went blank, unable to remember anything.
Seeing Itachi holding his painful head, crouched on the ground, Tobio made his hands glow with a green light and placed them on the bump on Itachi's head, scolding:
"Hasn't anyone taught you that, outside of training, missions, or war, you shouldn't take out your kunai?
You were lucky to run into me. If it had been someone else, they would have confiscated your kunai."
"Is there still time to learn?"
Hearing a cold voice beside him, Tobio paused for a moment before turning rigidly toward the source of the sound.
The first thing he saw was a slightly curved belly. The person was wearing a brown apron and loose clothing underneath.
That slightly plump figure, with black hair down to the waist and a mocking expression.
What to do when facing the mother of a child you just hit?
Apologize.Refuse to apologize.Hit the mother too.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tobio became serious and looked at Mikoto Uchiha.
"Mikoto-sama, Itachi is the young leader of the Uchiha clan. He needs to interact with all the clan members from a young age.
Raised this way, he will be an understanding person.
In the future, when he becomes Hokage, he will see the Uchiha from a different perspective.
Itachi has the potential to be Hokage."
With that, taking advantage of Mikoto's confusion, Tobio sent Shisui and Itachi away. Then, he directed his gaze at Mikoto's belly.
Looking at the slightly curved belly, Tobio thought of Sasuke, who hadn't been born yet.
It couldn't be denied that these brothers were geniuses, though their destiny was difficult and complicated the lives of the clan members.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Feeling Tobio's gaze, Mikoto covered her belly with a basket and frowned.
This strange man always sighed anxiously when he saw her belly, as if she were pregnant with a monster.
"Mikoto-sama, I must say your genes are exceptional. Your children are geniuses."
While walking towards the clan area, Tobio stopped beside her and, in a low voice, so only they could hear, said:
"Mikoto-sama, after this one, don't have more children.
If you keep having children every three years, the Uchiha clan won't be able to handle it.
If the clan leader complains about contraceptives, I can give him a vasectomy.
I'm very discreet and good at it.
Let's think about the Uchiha clan's future. Really, with two children, it's enough."
Eh?
Mikoto's eyes widened, looking at Tobio's back in surprise.
How did he know she was pregnant with a boy?
The doctor had just said the embryo was barely forming and that they needed to wait to confirm it.
How did he know?
It couldn't be.
Recalling her previous pregnancies, Mikoto noticed that Tobio always looked at her with anxiety.
What was he worried about?
As a clan genius, Mikoto had paid attention to Tobio before, and recalling the details, she felt he was hiding something.
Although the pregnancy had made her a bit less sharp, she could still judge well.
Along with his recent suggestion that she divorce Fugaku, Mikoto looked at her belly and thought:
"Could he also see the future?"
