Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes from his sleep.

In a hazy state, after a brief moment of confusion, an expression of anticipation appeared on her face.

He had just remembered that his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, had promised him yesterday that he would take him to school today.

Sasuke hurriedly changed his clothes, washed up, and ran to the living room. He looked around and asked Uchiha Mikoto, who was preparing breakfast.

"Where's my brother? Is he sleeping in?"

Seeing the anxious yet expectant expression on Sasuke's face, Mikoto Uchiha couldn't resist teasing him.

She deliberately made an angry face and gave a soft snort.

"Honestly, Sasuke only cares about his brother and doesn't care about Mom at all. Mom even got up early this morning to prepare breakfast for you."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's expression turned somewhat awkward, and he looked at Uchiha Mikoto with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"Hmph, Mom is very angry now!"

As Mikoto Uchiha came out carrying breakfast, she gently tapped Sasuke's head.

"Ouch!"

Sasuke pretended to wince in pain, clutching his head. "Mom, you hit me too hard!"

"Don't even try!"

Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but laugh at Sasuke's expression. "I didn't even use any force!"

"Mom's not angry anymore?"

Sasuke obediently sat down in his seat.

Mikoto Uchiha gently rubbed Sasuke's head, her gentle expression returning to normal.

"You'll be punished by having to drink an extra glass of milk today."

"Okay, Mom!"

Sasuke held a glass of milk and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink slowly!"

Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but offer a reminder, while simultaneously refilling Sasuke's cup.

Sasuke's face lit up with anticipation again. "Mom, my brother..."

“Your brother got up and went out very early.”

"They...they went out?"

Sasuke's expression visibly fell, but although he was very sad, he quickly composed himself.

Because he's already used to it.

Mikoto Uchiha smiled and gently stroked Sasuke's hair.

"Your brother said he would be back before you left."

"Really?" Sasuke's eyes lit up again.

When has your mother ever lied to you?

"Great!"

Sasuke happily picked up a rice ball and started eating.

Mikoto Uchiha looked at her youngest son tenderly, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

Itachi Uchiha has changed a lot during this period.

She left early and returned late every day, just like Fugaku, and she had no idea what he was busy with.

But one time when she returned home, she accidentally saw Itachi, who had used the Transformation Jutsu, talking to his clansmen.

Although she couldn't see through the other person's transformation technique at all, as a mother, she knew her son quite well.

She can identify someone's identity from subtle, unique habits.

This can be considered a good thing.

Itachi has begun to think about things from the perspective of his clan.

Unlike in the past, when they only considered the village's perspective and completely disregarded the family's thoughts.

While there's nothing wrong with standing in the village's shoes, we should at least consider the family's interests.

The only downside is that Itachi has been in contact with the hawkish faction of the clan during this period.

Itachi seems to be starting to support the clan's coup.

A look of worry returned to Mikoto Uchiha's face.

She had never paid any attention to the clan's coup plan, and she would unconditionally support whatever Uchiha Fugaku wanted to do.

This is her responsibility as a wife.

But she didn't want her child to get involved either; it's a mother's instinct.

Click!

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Itachi Uchiha walked in.

"I am back."

"elder brother!"

The moment Sasuke saw Itachi Uchiha, his expression turned to one of great surprise and delight.

"Welcome back, Itachi."

Mikoto Uchiha smiled again.

Itachi Uchiha smiled and looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke, have you had breakfast?"

"I've finished eating!"

Sasuke seemed somewhat excited.

"Let's go then! When I arrived, I saw that many children had already gone."

"it is good!"

Sasuke responded happily.

But when they were about to leave, they stopped.

He turned back to see Uchiha Mikoto waving at him, then ran back.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke grabbed Mikoto Uchiha's hand.

"Can Mom come with us?"

-

Today is a day full of hope.

All grades start school on this day.

Every family took their children to school.

When Baiyun Qingye and the others arrived at the school gate, it was bustling with students and parents.

It was truly a scene of vibrant life, with everything thriving.

Every parent had a smile on their face, but many of the children looked worried and unhappy.

"It's still as lively as before."

Tsunade, Shizune, and Uzuki Yugao all sighed in admiration, as they were all graduates of the Ninja Academy.

"Aoba!"

A ninja, still wearing a ninja vest, walked towards them.

"Uncle!?"

"teacher!?"

Both Shirokumo Aoba and Uzuki Yugao were somewhat surprised, as the visitor was none other than Shirokumo Yezan.

"Don't you have a mission?"

Bai Yunqingye remembered that the other party had told him that he had an important mission in the next few days and therefore could not come, but he did not expect that the other party would still come.

"The first day of school is a very important day. I finished my tasks ahead of time and rushed back."

Bai Yunye smiled and patted Bai Yunqingye's head. He still remembered that on his first day of school, he came with Bai Yunqingye's father.

At that time, they were able to graduate from the Ninja Academy by relying on the small amount of assets left by their parents before their death and by living frugally.

Now the boy is old enough to go to school.

"Lady Tsunade." Shirakumo Hayama greeted Tsunade again.

"Jonin of the White Cloud." Tsunade nodded in response.

Just as the group was talking at the school gate.

"Aoba!"

Another voice rang out at the same time.

A blond-haired man was running towards them at high speed, and the people around him instinctively made way for him.

Finally, the blond-haired man stood straight in front of them.

"Aoba, you guys are here so early." Naruto scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.

Why are your dark circles so bad?

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I kept doing push-ups. I don't know when I fell asleep."

Despite having such heavy dark circles under her eyes, she still looks incredibly energetic.

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but open his mouth wide, secretly marveling at how worthy he was of the Whirlpool Clan.

"Aoba (kun)!" x4

This time, four voices rang out simultaneously.

Looking back, it was indeed Tian Tian and her three friends, along with their parents. It seemed they had met on the road.

As for Sasuke, who was still acting spoiled with his brother and mother, he was naturally ignored.

If Bai Yunqingye were facing this situation alone under normal circumstances, he might have backed down, but now it's different; he's very tough.

When Tenten and the others ran over and surrounded him, Hiashi and the others also came over to him politely...

Tsunade, who was behind him, greeted him.

"Lady Tsunade."
