What are you carrying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discovering that the scent came from what Uchiha Gin was holding, the impatient Izuna Uchiha asked eagerly, while Itama Senju, who was tied up to the side, also curiously raised his head to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, your cousin's handiwork. Hurry up and taste it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, placed the dishes on the dining table, and turned back to fetch the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his invitation, Izuna Uchiha stopped bickering with Itama Senju and nimbly sat down at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eyes shining as he looked at the colorful and fragrant food on the table, his saliva couldn't stop flowing; unable to hold back, he reached out directly to grab the glistening sweet and sour pork loin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wash your hands first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin, who had just returned with a stack of bowls and chopsticks and a plate of stir-fried tomato and eggs, saw the kid's impatient behavior and scolded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reprimanded, Izuna stopped his reaching hand and muttered with a pout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning after washing his hands, Izuna didn't care about manners anymore; the previous battle had consumed a lot of his energy, so he immediately picked up his bowl and began to gorge himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This meat is sweet and sour, it's really delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his mouth stuffed with sweet and sour pork loin, Izuna's eyes lit up, and he looked as if he wanted to swallow the bowl along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Gurgle, gurgle~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Izuna Uchiha eating until his mouth was oily, the bound Itama Senju swallowed his saliva in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't had a drop of water or a grain of rice for several days; smelling the aroma wafting from the table, his stomach growled uncontrollably, and his head drooped in grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Cousin, whose bowl and chopsticks are these? Did you invite someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling to swallow the food stuffed in his mouth, Izuna Uchiha asked curiously when he saw an extra set of tableware on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the cooking, Uchiha Gin, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen and headed straight toward Itama Senju, who was sitting on the floor with his head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ripping sound, the ropes on Itama Senju's hands snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having regained his freedom, he looked at the domestic-looking Uchiha Gin in disbelief, only to see the other man gently pat his head and say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you staring at? Go eat, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, Itama Senju moved his stiff hands and asked guardedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you to eat, so eat. Why so many questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin gave his confused little head a flick, then hoisted him up to the dining table and shoved chopsticks into his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itama Senju, eyes brimming with tears from the pain, looked at the delicacies on the table but hesitated to start; Uchiha Gin picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a piece of tender fish into his stunned mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his saliva secreted, the taste of the braised fish hit his taste buds; in an instant, tears streamed down his cheeks, and he buried his head in the bowl, shoveling food into his mouth while saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You hateful Uchiha, don't hit my head again!\" as if the tears he had just shed were because of Uchiha Gin's flick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time that followed was a competition between the two brats for food, and in the end, the older and stronger Izuna Uchiha won without any suspense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snatching the last piece of sweet and sour pork loin, he mocked the defeated Itama Senju with a wicked, arrogant expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that it? Is that all you've got?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farce ended, and rubbing his round belly, Izuna Uchiha lay comfortably on the sofa, while Itama Senju sensibly helped Uchiha Gin clear the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid are quite observant! Your brother must be very happy to have a younger brother like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Itama Senju take the initiative to help him clean up after the meal, Uchiha Gin praised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Praised by Uchiha Gin, a strange smile appeared on Itama Senju's small face as he squinted and looked provocatively at Izuna Uchiha, who was lying dead on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>()\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Itama Senju's \"tea-like\" (insincere\u002Fmanipulative) behavior, Izuna Uchiha felt his teeth itch with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This little brat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, who exactly is this kid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to stand this kind of frustration, Izuna Uchiha immediately asserted his dominance and deliberately asked Uchiha Gin in a loud voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Izuna Uchiha's question, Itama Senju, who was carrying the bowls and chopsticks, stiffened, and his expression became dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin patted his shoulder to signal him not to mind, then spoke up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid is an orphan I met during a mission. His temper is a bit foul, but his talent is good, so I brought him back to train as a confidant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the chaotic Warring States period, there were homeless orphans everywhere; a lucky few could be taken in by a clan to become servants doing odd jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most were unlucky—either starving to death on the streets or becoming cannon fodder in war; the most unfortunate were those captured for human experiments, meeting a miserable end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Uchiha Gin's explanation, Izuna didn't pursue the matter further; after all, he was just an orphan from an outside clan, not worth the attention of the clan leader's son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin's explanation made Itama Senju, who was still cleaning up, feel relieved; the other man hadn't exposed his identity, but at the same time, a big question arose in his heart: why was this guy protecting him like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the post-meal chat, Uchiha Gin sat on the sofa and asked Izuna Uchiha, who was still picking his teeth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has anything happened in the clan recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really. Everyone has been training actively lately. Father said the fighting will start again soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izuna Uchiha, who did not have a deep understanding of the meaning of war, said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the decisive battle about to begin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin touched his chin in thought upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is one strange thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izuna Uchiha suddenly spoke up, his expression looking rather unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his sour expression, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but ask curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, Brother has been acting all mysterious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izuna Uchiha said in an uncertain tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems like he's in love. He sneaks out every day and is incredibly happy when he comes back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough, cough... how are you so sure it's love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izuna Uchiha's guess was so ridiculous it made him choke on his own saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cuihua Uchiha from the village entrance used to sneak out at night to spend a long time in the small woods with Tie Dan Uchiha from the patrol team, and she would be all smiles when she returned. Later, they got married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izuna Uchiha said with a straight face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've seen that smile, and it's exactly the same as Brother's right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Pfft~* Uchiha Gin, who had just taken a sip of water to clear his throat, sprayed it all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jet of water hit Itama Senju, who was watching the drama on the side, squarely; ignoring the other's resentful gaze, he wiped his mouth and casually patted Izuna Uchiha's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're too young to be learning such bad habits, peeping at people's dates. Who else knows about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, I already reported it to Father. Father told me to keep a close eye on Brother when I have time to see who he's sneaking off to date.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his head where he had been patted, Izuna Uchiha said with the air of someone entrusted with a heavy responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, those two fated rivals, have already met; then the founding of Konoha isn't far off, and his days of safely slacking off are coming to an end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was fantasizing about his wonderful future, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin stood up guardedly, signaled Itama Senju to retreat into the inner room, and then opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange Uchiha clansman stood at the door, with cold eyes and a withered face, like a lifeless corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Gin, the Clan Leader has an order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice that came out of his mouth was as hoarse as if being ground by sandpaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin frowned, unable to understand what his cousin-uncle was playing at, but he nodded in acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the coming days, you will go to the dungeon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sentence made Uchiha Gin's hair stand on end, his pupils dilating in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...to take up your post.
