Simultaneous travel: Not eating beef

This day, the wind is sunny and sunny.

Bai Yu sat on a set of steps and clapped his hands, saying, "Everyone, let's welcome the cat to the stage!"

After he finished speaking, the group of people below immediately applauded.

There were about a dozen people in two rows, all from the secret service, with a short man standing in the middle.

White cat-face mask with a red inverted triangle on the forehead.

He's the man who gave Orochimaru three moles!

Uchiha Itachi.

Today is the day he joined the Dark Division.

Faced with everyone's enthusiastic welcome, Itachi seemed a little flustered and scratched the back of his head in an attempt to ease the awkwardness.

After the applause ended, Bai Yu said loudly, "Young man, you're still quite shy. In that case, you can join your senior's team from now on."

He pointed to the painted face mask below and said, "Painted face, he's yours from now on."

"Yes," the painted-face man immediately replied.

Itachi turned his neck to look at the painted face, and a smile immediately appeared on his previously somewhat embarrassed face behind the mask.

This was solely because the painted-face man was his beloved senior, Uchiha Shisui.

Bai Yu continued, "Although we are not all here today, as many of our colleagues have gone out on missions, those of us who remain in the village cannot be complacent. Except for Cat Face and Flower Face, everyone else should return to their posts."

"Hi!"

Everyone agreed loudly and then jumped away.

After everyone left, Bai Yu took off his tiger mask and said, "Today is just a welcome ceremony, there's no rush to work."

To welcome Itachi to the Anbu, Shisui will treat everyone to dumplings and ramen.

Shisui removed his mask and smiled, "Hi, it's on me."

After discussing the matter, the three returned to the secret service's changing room and changed into normal clothes.

Walking down the street, Bai Yu looked at Itachi's hair, touched it, and said, "Itachi, your hair is too long."

"Well... it's been a long time since I've cut my hair." Itachi touched his hair, a little embarrassed.

Zhi Shui chuckled and teased, "Yeah, if you don't cut it soon, it'll be longer than a girl's."

At this time, Itachi was still very young, and he even had a braid on the back of his head.

With his beloved Shisui-onii-chan still alive, and his parents and younger brother still around, he can say he feels absolutely no pressure.

The one bearing the pressure right now isn't him; Shisui took it all for him.

The balance between the village and the clan is something these Uchiha, prone to extremes, clearly cannot handle well.

The three chatted as they arrived at the meatball shop.

Two skewers of three-colored meatballs and a cup of hot tea for each person.

A satisfied expression appeared on Itachi's face as he ate the dumpling.

But he remained restrained because Bai Yu, a senior he wasn't very familiar with, was there.

"Itachi, how are your father and mother doing lately? It seems like I haven't seen them in a long time," Bai Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Itachi immediately cleaned the food out of his mouth and then answered seriously, "Hi, Father and Mother haven't been going out much lately, but Father often mentions my senior at home, telling me to learn from him after joining the Anbu, and also..."

besides……"

Shisui chimed in, "Itachi, just say it. Senpai is a very nice person. We'll tell him anything we need to say."

Itachi immediately received the encouraging look from his beloved older brother.

"My father asked me to ask you about the matter he mentioned before, which involved considering taking Sasuke as his apprentice."

Itachi was very nervous because it concerned his younger brother.

His father once said that he really hoped Sasuke could become an apprentice, because that would only benefit Sasuke.

Itachi always kept in mind that he was good to his younger brother.

"Well," Bai Yu rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment, and said, "It's been so long, yet your father is still so persistent."

"Yes, because this is very important to Sasuke." Itachi's eyes showed anticipation, hoping that the other party would agree.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Bai Yu said, "Itachi, we'll have many opportunities to meet in the future. If you have the chance, bring your younger brother out. At least you should meet him."

I remember it's been a year or two since we last met.

Upon hearing this, Itachi showed a slight look of disappointment, but he quickly recovered and replied, "Yes, I will definitely bring Sasuke to see you when I have the chance."

After putting that topic aside, and once they had almost finished eating the dumplings, the three of them headed towards Ichiraku Ramen.

At noon, Bai Yu walked out of Ichiraku Ramen, having eaten and drunk his fill, and patted his stomach, saying, "Phew~, that was really satisfying."

He patted Zhishui on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for the hospitality. That's all for today."

With that, he turned and left.

Seeing him leave, Shisui blinked and turned to Itachi, saying, "Itachi, you should go back first. I still have something to tell my senior."

"Something wrong?" Itachi asked, puzzled. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zhi Shui replied evasively, "I forgot about eating."

Itachi: "Then I'll go with you."

"No need." Shisui waved his hand and chased after her, calling out, "You go back first, I'll be back soon too."

Just as Itachi treated Sasuke, Shisui treated Itachi in the same way.

He shoulders all the burdens himself, leaving him only with a peaceful and tranquil life.

Onii-chan's Memoirs!

Walking down the street with one hand in his pocket and the other hand picking his teeth with a toothpick, Bai Yu muttered to himself, "Who am I going to extort for dinner?"

"Kakashi, well, that's not a good idea. It's not appropriate to keep targeting him."

Hong accepted a mission today and left the village this morning. As for the little devils, they all went to Hong's house.

The elderly woman who was alone eventually learned to live her life, and now she occasionally has to help take care of the little devils.

Shisui's voice suddenly rang out: "Senior!"

"Zhi Shui?" Bai Yu turned around, picking his teeth, and said, "I knew you had something on your mind, kid. You've been pretending to be deep for so long without saying anything."

He had just noticed that Shisui seemed to have something on his mind today.

Shisui scratched the back of his head, just like Itachi had done before, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Please give me some time, senior. There are some things I'd like to tell you."

"Alright then." Bai Yu crossed his arms, a toothpick dangling from his mouth, and led the way.

A moment later, the two arrived at the village's small river.

Bai Yu took off his shoes and soaked his feet in the water, saying, "Speak."

Zhi Shui sat down beside him and said in a deep voice, "The clan meeting was held last night, and the clan members' emotions became increasingly extreme."

Bai Yu splashed water with his feet and said, "I see. So what are your thoughts?"

“I…” Shisui lowered his head and said, “I want to act as a bridge between the village and the family, and I hope that everyone can sit down and negotiate peacefully.”

Violence is never the solution; we should discuss and resolve issues together.

But...but I'm afraid I..."

Bai Yu chimed in, "Afraid that your own weight isn't enough?"

Zhi Shui said, "Hi."

During this period, Shisui was the double agent.

"Then increase your own weight."

As he spoke, Bai Yu turned around and patted his shoulder, saying, "Well, you're always so gloomy. You're only happy when you're with Itachi."

That won't do; young people should be more energetic and vibrant.

Since you've come to me for help, as your superior, I will certainly help you.

Bai Yu smiled wickedly:

"Don't keep things to yourself, I'll answer your questions."

The meaning of life, the fate of the family, the fate of the village, the road ahead, your own life, Itachi's life...

You are not old, but you think a lot.

If you don't have anyone to confide in, you can always talk to me in the future. I'm very free..."
