32. Betrayed

Itsuki along with Kushina and Naruko came to leave flowers on his parents grave.

Seeing Naruko put flowers on the grave, a glint passed through Satsuki's eyes and she pointed towards Naruko while pulling on Mikoto's hair.

"Hmm" Seeing this Mikoto looked toward where Satsuki was pointing.

" Do you want to do that too? " But all she got was the same blank stare.

Mikoto just smiled and put Satsuki in front of the grave, so that she could also pay respects.

Naruko feeling something looked towards her side, only for her face to scrunch up.

*Babble* 

Naruko babbled something, but Satsuki just ignored her which further enraged Naruko causing her to flail around, but a tap on the bum from Kushina caused her to be obedient.

While Satsuki just smiled at Naruko which caused her to yell profanities in the form of random baby noises ...but was once again silenced by Kushina's spank

.....

Itsuki parted ways with Mikoto and went home with Naruko and Kushina. He would be going near the Uchiha clan later to pick up Mikoto.

Itsuki after reaching home instantly dove into training.

May the grind be with you.

Damn... Itsuki really liked the rewards this time, because they could be useful to others.

Also, it seems going to the Konoha Hospital should be put on the agenda. 

He decided to grind his passive skills too before stopping...

....

Hiruzen was looking through the report on Itsuki with interest because Hiruzen felt something was off.

He got news about Itsuki awakening his bloodline during training with Guy, which was a plausible reason but the problem was ....even a normal Jonin may not be able to survive Guy's torturous training.

Sudden bloodline awakening for civilians although rare, isn't that unheard of.

But Hiruzen knew of Itsuki's true background and that made it only that much more suspicious. 

' Did Shun and Kaede hide something from me? ' Hiruzen couldn't help but think, but as soon as that thought came, a self-deprecating smile formed on Hiruzen's face ' As if I deserve their trust '.

No matter what he didn't doubt Itsuki's character and since Itsuki has showcased a Special Jonin level strength it's good. But Hiruzen felt it was much more than that.

But Hiruzen didn't care , he will protect Itsuki. With that thought Hiruzen lit the report on Itsuki which had a stamp 'ROOT' He exhaled a puff of smoke as he watched the paper burn...

....

Mikoto reached her boiling limit and she had had enough of this shit. She would live with Kushina for a while as it would do good for both her and Satsuki as she didn't want her daughter to grow up with a stick in her ass like the rest of these idiots.

If anyone tried to stop her she would show them why she was called a genius when she was young. 

She wanted to take Itachi too, but she knew Fugaku wouldn't agree as he was the heir to the Uchiha and if the elders got a whiff of it they might crawl out of the woodwork to showcase their outdated wisdom on her.

But if it's Satsuki , they wouldn't care as her fate was more or less to forge alliances within the clan , to marry her to a genius to tie them to the patriarch line. Being the brother-in-law of the patriarch was a good status that none of the power-hungry Uchiha would pass on. 

Mikoto didn't want to ruin her mood by thinking about the glum future so she packed her things along with some of Satsuki's things for their indefinite stay at Itsuki's house.

But thinking of staying with Itsuki under the same roof made Mikoto's cheeks flush with anticipation and embarrassment...

Itsuki gazed at his stats with satisfaction, his ultimate goal is to become so strong that he can slap Juubidara with a single palm.

Itsuji checked the time and found that it was time for him to go pick Mikoto up...

.....

Naruko who was lying in her crib was relieved, she wouldn't have to see that annoying face again causing her to let out hysterical laughter, which just sounded like normal baby laughter.

*Evil baby noises*

But she couldn't help but have a bad feeling but being the carefree baby she was... She just shoved it into the back of her mind...

....

Yugao was training hard at the A.N.B.U training grounds but instead of the normal robotic behaviour, Yugao had much more life in her.

How could she not...A loner like her finally had a friend. A Best friend (Only Friend) who listens to her and cares about her. Although Yugao feels that her friend treats her like a kid, but.... she Yugao is an Ice cold killa!

'Hmph I will forgive you this time' Yugao pouted a little but still ultimately chose to forgive him because that is what friends do.

Yugao was much more mature than children her age and even teenagers because when these brats were playing house, she was training hard and even had her first kill.

Killing someone wasn't easy and the ANBU .....wasn't a place known for its exemplary work conditions or employee welfare.

Especially with her loner lifestyle she would have become an emotionless killer like some senior ANBU members who didn't have a purpose in life.

Yugao was also like that But she now has a noble purpose .... To eat the food cooked by her Bestie and earn enough money to support his business.

Even if he wasn't able to cook delicious food anymore Yugao would still eat whatever he made, because although she valued his food what she truly valued was their precious friendship...

....

As an ANBU Trainee Yugao also does simple patrols inside the village to collect information and she was stunned after hearing a very famous information that is spreading like wildfire among the people.

' What is Quickflash ? '

Gimme Stones, Cuz we gotta get no 1,So I can slap my dad's face with the results for belittling my work. 

My Dad is Indian ...So You can imagine he made fun of me for writing fics.

Some Sakura Arts are very good, Sakura was very annoying as a kid but she did work hard to become the strongest Kunoichi.

Everyone says Sakura was useless, But you forget .... she was just a civilian who became a strong Kage Level Ninja surpassing Clan children like Ino, Hinata, Temari, and so on . All of these characters were fodder but nobody shits on them.

Sakura and Lee are the embodiment of Naruto anime's principle 'Hard work'. 

I disliked Sakura's character in Naruto but wouldn't go as far as to call her trash, hey not everyone is a reincarnation of demigods.

I like fics where she gains character development realising how childish her crush for Sasuke was becoming stronger than when she was in canon.
