Chapter 103. Itachi: I Want to Lose Weight!

---

My name is Itachi.

I am four years old this year.

Today, I didn't go out to eat with Uncle Yuto, nor did I go out to exercise with the Grandpa Chief Elder.

Recently, for some reason.

The Grandpa Chief Elder seems to be quite busy, going to the dance hall early every day, and then, after Grandma Hana arrives, the two of them start bickering, just like arguing.

Of course.

Fortunately, they don't fight, and every time they argue, it ends with Grandma Hana coldly ignoring the Grandpa Chief Elder.

How strange!

Itachi lazily stretched and lay down on the porch, resting his chubby cheeks on his hands, basking in the sun.

The sun is so warm today!

I don't want to go out!

I just want to lie here lazily.

Mom said the war is almost over, and father will be home in a few days. I wonder if father will hit me when he comes back?

After all, before father left, he very seriously told me, [You must stay away from your Uncle Yuto!]

I was originally very obedient.

Every time Uncle Yuto came, I would try to sneak away, but... every time I was caught by him.

"Itachi~"

It's mom's voice.

Itachi: (ω」∠)

He opened his eyes, tilted his head in confusion, and looked at mom.

What's the matter?

However.

Mom had already walked behind him, helplessly grabbing the back of his collar.

(ω)(д)?????

"The weather is so nice today, aren't you going out to play?"

Mikoto's eyes showed some helplessness. She didn't know when it started, but Itachi really liked lying on the porch to bask in the sun.

Although Itachi has been very well-behaved since birth, children should be more lively to be cute~!

"What about Izumi today? Why didn't she come to play with you?"

"Izumi said she's going out with her mom today." Itachi showed no other expression, still the quiet little adult.

"Is that so?" Mikoto nodded, reached out and rubbed Itachi's chubby cheeks, smiling, "Then Itachi must be lonely today? Children should smile more!"

Chubby.

Plump.

Suddenly.

Mikoto frowned, looking at Itachi, "Huh, has Itachi gained a little weight these days?"

As soon as she said that.

Itachi: ?!

Shocked.

However, Mikoto didn't mind, pinched his chubby cheeks again, and smiled helplessly, "Yuto is really something, always taking you out to sneak food! Children should eat enough, but not too much~"

As she spoke, she stood up, smiling, resting her chin on her right hand, "Yuto really likes children."

She heard.

He always wanted to adopt the clan's genius—Uchiha Obito as his child!

Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly again, shook her head, seeming a bit troubled, "Suzune should work hard too!"

After saying that, she turned around and started to tidy up the house.

And Itachi.

Still stood there dumbfounded.

His chubby hands hanging down, like a fat hamster struck by lightning, his sparkling eyes staring blankly ahead.

After who knows how long.

A breeze blew by.

Itachi came back to his senses, his cute brows slightly furrowed, looking down at his belly with a serious expression, murmuring softly, "It seems... I really have gained a little weight!"

After saying that.

He fell silent.

Until a moment later.

Little Itachi raised his head, his chubby face full of determination.

He.

Four-year-old Uchiha Itachi!

He is going to lose weight!

I must slim down before father comes back!

However.

Suddenly.

Mom's voice came again, "Itachi, Uncle Yuto is here to take you out to play."

"..."

…

After having lunch.

I packed some for Mikoto, and after sending the "happy" Itachi home, Yuto headed towards the Hokage Building.

In a short while, his elder brother will be back. When he sees how well his younger brother has taken care of his sister-in-law and nephew, he will surely be very pleased.

Especially Itachi... who has been fed to be plump and fair by him.

What a lovely child!

Fugaku will definitely be quite gratified and grateful to his younger brother for taking such good care of his nephew!

So, we must continue to work hard!

Upon arriving at the Hokage Building.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed.

After all, he is no longer an ordinary businessman. You should know that the Hokage was moved by his inner Will of Fire and gifted him with a handwritten note that still hangs at the entrance of the milk tea shop!

Moreover.

His hidden identity was never ordinary from the start.

The close younger brother of the Uchiha clan leader!

Although it was announced that he was expelled from the Uchiha clan, most families just took it as a joke.

After the ninja at the door went in to announce his arrival, he was granted permission to enter.

"Yuto~" Mitokado Homura said cheerfully upon seeing him enter, "What brings you here with so much free time today?"

Beaming with smiles!

How cordial!

Just like a family elder.

Of course.

This is also thanks to the good relationships Yuto has built since starting his business.

It's love!

It's bonds!

It's recognition!

Recognition of him as a village-loving businessman!

After Yuto sat down, Mitokado Homura took a sip of tea, smiled lightly, and said, "What brings you to see me today?"

"I'm planning to start a small business again," Yuto got straight to the point without any hesitation, "So, I need some land~"

"That's right! Your business is really getting bigger and bigger!" Mitokado Homura sighed with emotion, nodded, and then said with some confusion, "But this is a small matter! Just talk to the nearby villagers, did someone ask for an exorbitant price? Do you need my help?" At this point, his tone became serious, "That won't do! People of Konoha should love each other, how could I help you to bully others? If you can't agree, just find another place."

"That's not the case," Yuto also shook his head seriously, "This Uchiha Yuto is also a person with love in his heart. How could I do such a thing as bullying others with power? Besides, Homura-sama's benevolent heart is well-known in the village. If I really did that, I'm afraid Homura-sama would be the first not to let this Yuto off!"

"In that case, what is the matter this time?"

"I plan to buy two plots of land, but the land... is just a bit larger."

One to build a house, one to build a cinema. As for why so large?

Just in case.

Perhaps by then... if his eldest nephew is not promising, his second nephew and his wife will have to pay the mortgage for him.

"Where?" Homura frowned, not agreeing immediately.

"The wasteland at the end of the village, and the wasteland in the outer area," Yuto pointed at the Konoha map on Mitokado Homura's desk, smiling, "Just a bit larger will do!"

After saying that, Mitokado Homura was stunned, and said with a bit of annoyance, "It's almost as big as your Uchiha clan land, and you call it small? Impossible!" At this point, he shook his head helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but for village land matters, you need to go to the Hokage!"

However.

After saying that.

Yuto did not answer immediately, but instead handed over an envelope with a smile.

Mitokado Homura pushed it back directly and snorted coldly, "Boy, are you testing me?"

Is that it?

"Ah, Homura-sama, you've misunderstood!" Yuto quickly explained, "Didn't you buy a cup of milk tea yesterday?"

"Yes! I passed by and just happened to be a bit thirsty, so I bought a cup, what does that have to do with this?"

"You won a prize!" Yuto said seriously.

"I won a prize?" Mitokado Homura said in surprise.

"Exactly, Homura-sama, you happened to be the 100th customer that day. We held an event that day to stimulate consumption, and the 100th customer, but the store manager forgot, and only found out today when checking the records that it was you, Homura-sama," Yuto said cheerfully, "This is your prize money, 8 million ryo, it's a prize you won fair and square!"
