Yana's astonishment grew with every round. She had known Itachi was special, but seeing him like this—his agility, his precision—it was breathtaking. The gun clicked, signaling the final round had been fired. Itachi stood there, completely unscathed, his breathing steady and calm.

Yana lowered the gun, her hands still trembling slightly, her heart racing in disbelief. "You…dodged every single one…" she whispered, her voice filled with awe.

Itachi deactivated his Sharingan, his usual calm demeanor returning. He walked over to his mother, bowing slightly in gratitude. "Thank you, Mother. This was exactly what I needed."

Yana looked at him, still trying to process what she had just witnessed. She felt a surge of pride, but also a deep sense of realization. Her son wasn't just a child anymore. He was growing into something extraordinary—something she could barely comprehend.

Itachi nodded, thinking to himself, That was too easy. Any shinobi I've faced has matched this speed. But his focus shifted back to his mother. "I'm sorry for making you worry, Mother."

Yana's expression softened, but there was a hint of frustration in her voice. "Don't do something like that again, Itachi."

He smiled lightly. "I promise, I won't."

Without warning, Yana playfully pinched his cheeks. "You'll still get a punishment for scaring me like that."

Itachi blinked in surprise, then nodded with a small smile. "Yes, I deserve it."

Yana's gaze softened as she cupped his face in her hands. "For your punishment, you won't see Momo for five days."

Itachi's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart sinking. He didn't say anything, but the sadness in his expression was unmistakable. Seeing the sorrow on his face, Yana couldn't help but smile gently.

"Okay," she said, relenting. "I've changed my mind. Just two days."

Itachi's face relaxed, though the sadness still lingered. "Thank you, Mother," he whispered, his tone full of sincerity.

Yana pulled him into a warm hug, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Oh, my heart," she murmured, her love for him evident in her voice.

With a small smile, Itachi replied, "This won't happen again."

Yana, still holding him close, whispered, "It better not. Keep that in mind."

Just then, Erika entered the backyard, carrying Momo in her arms. "I heard firing," she said, her eyes scanning the scene.

Yana and Itachi exchanged glances before Yana calmly replied, "Yes, it was just part of his training."

Erika's eyes widened in shock when she noticed the gun in Yana's hand. "Lady Yana..." she began, concerned.

Yana waved it off with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Erika. Everything's fine."

Still a bit uncertain, Erika shifted her attention to Momo, who was playing with strands of her blonde hair. She smiled at the little girl's playful gestures.

"It looks like she likes your hair," Yana remarked, her voice soft and full of affection.

Erika beamed down at Momo, her smile full of warmth. Itachi watched them, a gentle smile forming on his own face. In that moment, a thought crossed his mind: This place... it's not so bad after all.

As the day for the parent-teacher meeting arrived, Yana and Itachi made their way through the school grounds toward his classroom. Children were scattered around with their parents, laughing, chatting, and playing. Yana glanced at the bustling scene and then at her son.

"I already know what they're going to say about you," Yana said with a teasing smile.

Itachi sighed, clearly bored. "I know. It's always the same thing, and it's boring to hear it all the time."

Yana chuckled softly and patted his shoulder. "For me, every time I hear something good about you, even if it's the same thing, it makes me proud. Repetition doesn't make it any less special."

Itachi glanced at his mother, a small smile breaking through his stoic expression. "Sure, if you say so."

As they arrived at the classroom, Itachi immediately spotted Keigo and his mother sitting in front of their homeroom teacher. Keigo's usual cheerful demeanor was replaced with a shrug, while his mother looked exasperated. The teacher was clearly discussing Keigo's behavior, likely another reprimand.

Itachi sighed and muttered under his breath, "I knew that was going to happen."

Yana gave a knowing look before guiding Itachi forward. "Let's go sit down. It'll be our turn next," she said.

Itachi nodded, following his mother to the waiting area. Once Keigo's meeting was over, he turned around and spotted Itachi. His face lit up with a grin. "Hey, Itachi!" he called out.

Itachi gave a small nod, lifting a hand in a brief wave. Keigo's mother smiled as well, noticing the interaction.

"So, you're Itachi," she said warmly, her eyes studying him with curiosity.

Keigo's mother gently pushed her son forward. "Let's give them their turn. We'll talk later, Keigo," she said.

Keigo nodded enthusiastically. "We're waiting outside," he added.

Itachi and Yana nodded back, watching them leave. Keigo's mother glanced at them one more time as they exited and thought to herself, They're like carbon copies of each other. She bowed politely before leaving, and Yana and Itachi returned the gesture.

They took their seats in front of the homeroom teacher, who greeted them with a warm smile. "Hello, I'm Hana Suzuki," she introduced herself.

Yana smiled back, introducing herself as well. "Yana Yaoyorozu. Thank you for your time."

Suzuki smiled warmly. "I know of your family, of course. The Yaoyorozu name is well-known."

Then she turned her attention to Itachi, her smile widening. "Itachi has been excelling in class. His intelligence and academic performance are outstanding, as are his athletic abilities."
