Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

December 31st, Konoha 49.

On the last day of the 50th anniversary of Konoha, autumn had passed, and the temperature suddenly dropped to minus two degrees Celsius, with scattered snowflakes falling from the sky.

Because industrialization has not spread throughout the entire ninja world, the greenhouse effect is not high in this world. Except for Amegakure, where the temperature is slightly higher, the temperature in other villages has reached below zero.

"Brother, remember to wear an extra layer of clothing~" Zhi Shui held up a black cotton-padded jacket, her big, bright eyes blinking.

"The temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees today. I heard from the experts that it's due to some kind of cold wave. If I hadn't worn an extra layer, I would have definitely caught a cold." Shisui, with a ninja-like expression, handed a cotton-padded coat to Uchiha Sora, who was about to leave.

Uchiha Sora thought for a moment, then took the cotton-padded coat and put it on, smiling. "Shisui is such a gentle child. He'll definitely be popular with girls when he grows up."

"Hehe, I'm just being gentle with my brother~" Shisui scratched his head shyly, his face turning red as the cold wind blew.

Uchiha Sora felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Such a wonderful younger brother! His mood was so good all day long.

"I'm heading out now. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it back for you when I get back."

"Hmm... I want takoyaki. Oh, and Mom likes sushi, so remember to bring her some. As for Dad... I don't know what he likes, sigh ε=(´ο｀*)))." Shisui's little face twisted into a grimace.

"Then I'll bring some tea for my father. I heard the teahouse has a new type of tea; he'll definitely like it," Uchiha Sora said, helping Shisui make the decision.

"My brother is so smart!"

After leaving the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Sora walked through the village and suddenly didn't know where to go.

He had no missions these days and had originally planned to train with Hyuga Amane, but Momonosuke suggested that he take a walk around the village to relax, thus depriving Uchiha Sora of the idea of ​​training.

Looking at the people on the street who were breathing out hot air, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

A normal thirteen-year-old should be playing and laughing with his friends in the park, enjoying his childhood. However, he is not the kind of child who can have a normal childhood.

His life was filled with monotonous and rigorous training and dangerous missions. The innocence that should have belonged to children had long since disappeared from his world.

In other words...

When Momonosuke suggested he come out for a walk to clear his head, he was at a loss for what to do to fill this rare moment of leisure.

"Sigh, this is such a hassle..." He leaned helplessly against a thick stone pillar, staring blankly and boredly at the bustling scene in front of him.

Today, Leah suddenly had a whim and insisted on combing his hair. After some fiddling, she tied it into a high ponytail, a style reminiscent of a samurai's hairstyle. Paired with his face, which seemed somewhat aloof to everyone, it unexpectedly exuded a unique British charm.

The children passing by couldn't help but glance at him more closely when they saw his mature and unique appearance. The little girls were especially shy and curious, stealing glances at him from time to time, their eyes filled with innocent admiration.

These children were still young, and even though they noticed the Uchiha clan crest behind him, they were still simply curious about him.

As for the children accompanied by their parents, the parents acted as if facing a formidable enemy, hurriedly pulling their children away as if the child were some kind of monster, afraid that their child would have even the slightest connection with him.

He idly counted the number of people crossing the street until he reached one hundred and twenty-four...

"Empty?" A familiar voice came from behind.

He instinctively turned around, and his gaze fell upon a girl in a light purple sweater. Her face was painted with colorful stripes, and at that moment, her expression was filled with undisguised surprise.

"Rin, what are you doing here?" Uchiha Sora raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I just finished buying groceries." Lin gently lifted the bag full of fresh vegetables in her hand, a smile on her lips. "I just crossed the street and saw you standing here in a daze."

"And what's more, Sora's question is really strange. This is a main road, with people coming and going, yet you're asking me why I'm here. I was just about to ask you the same thing, why are you standing here all alone?" As she spoke, she winked playfully, then walked lightly to Uchiha Sora's side, looked around to make sure that Uchiha Sora was all alone.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, belatedly realizing that standing there like a wooden stake in the middle of the road, lost in thought, was indeed quite foolish.

He cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly and briefly explained to Lin why he was standing there in a daze. After listening, Lin's eyes widened instantly, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing, her laughter as clear and melodious as a silver bell.

"I never expected that Sora would have such a... adorable side," Rin said with a smile.

In her heart, Uchiha Sora, who stood on the street silently counting the passing crowds because he didn't know what to do, was incredibly cute.

When Uchiha Sora heard the word "dazed and cute," the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He simply couldn't connect his behavior with the word "dazed and cute" in the slightest.

"Since... Kong doesn't know what to do, why don't you come to my house for a visit?" Lin's eyes flashed with anticipation as she stood on tiptoe and said somewhat shyly.

"This...is this too much of a bother?" Uchiha Sora hesitated, but was somewhat tempted, as he really didn't know what to do.

"What's the big deal? You have nothing else to do anyway, so it's decided." Rin said quickly, not giving the Uchiha space a chance to refuse.

"Alright," Uchiha Sora nodded.

Perhaps because of Obito, Rin's family did not reject the Uchiha clan, and he had visited them a few times before.

When Lin saw that he had agreed, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her little face immediately turned red.

She thought to herself: This opportunity to be alone with Kong is wonderful!

Girls who spend long hours on missions tend to mature early; at that age, they also yearn for love and romance.

Of course, this feeling is very pure, without any entanglement of interests, which can be considered the innocence of a child.

However, just when she was thinking of being alone with Uchiha Sora, things didn't go as planned, and a shrew appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh? Lin! What a coincidence!"

Obito waved excitedly at Rin, completely ignoring Uchiha Sora standing next to him.

Rin's face darkened instantly. She glared at Obito, who was running towards them, and gritted her teeth.

"That damned Obito!"
