Konoha’s Hypocrite

After eating, Uchiha Tunan took the initiative to rinse the dishes and chopsticks.

However, Uchiha Tunan, who had done all this, did not leave immediately.

Instead, he began to carefully wipe the grease in the kitchen, sweep the dust in the corners, and wipe all the tiny corners clean.

It has been cleaned up for three hours and it is not over yet.

It was quite late at this time, and people in the entire Sarutobi community basically turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the living room, felt a little sleepy, came to the kitchen door and coughed slightly:

"Tunan, it's already very clean, so there is no need to clean it."

Uchiha Tunan turned his head, sweat dripping down his forehead.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was at the door of the kitchen with bright eyes, said seriously:

"The kitchen is a place for cooking. It must be absolutely hygienic. Otherwise, what should you do if you have a bad stomach?"

As he said, he scraped his fingers in the corner, scraping out a dark greasy dirt, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"These things are the easiest to attract bugs, and they have to be cleaned up."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the stubborn Uchiha Tunan and nodded helplessly.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and said:

"It's late."

Uchiha Tunan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and said with a smile on his face:

"It's okay, Master Hokage, you go to rest first, I know the way home."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Uchiha Tunan was so well-behaved and sensible, as if he had been touched by his weakness.

In a daze, Shinnosuke and Asuma seemed to appear in front of them.

The two figures gradually overlapped, Shinnosuke's earnestness and steadfastness, Asuma's stubbornness, this is Tunan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately looked at Uchiha Tunan with a kind face: "Tunan, it's too late, it's time to go to bed."

Uchiha Tunan was startled when he heard the words, pursed his lips, got up and put his hands on his knees and bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

His eyes were full of guilt and self-blame, and he said, "Master Hokage, I'm sorry, it affected you to rest. I will go back now."

I don't know why, looking at Uchiha Tunan's appearance, Sarutobi Hiruzen feels like he has done a big bad thing.

Feeling unbearable, he came to Uchiha Tunan, rubbed his hair and said:

"I usually don't sleep at this time, so you don't have to blame yourself.

It's so dark and the Uchiha clan is so far away, so you should stay with me for one night. "

As soon as the voice fell, Uchiha Tunan raised his head, with little stars in his eyes, and said with joy, "Is it really possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded:

"Go to sleep, if you want to get these things, wait until tomorrow."

.......

late at night,

The raindrops were still beating on the windows, and the wind screamed in the bushes by the pond in the backyard, blowing the branches as if they were about to break their waists.

Uchiha Tunan slept on the bed, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his expression was even more painful and embarrassing.

"Don't... Don't..."

The voice that contained fear and sorrow became louder and louder.

Gradually, it broke through the cover of the rain and spread to Sarutobi Hiruzen's room downstairs.

As a Kage-level powerhouse, even if he is old, he still instinctively keeps his surroundings vigilant at all times.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes abruptly, and Uchiha Tunan's chattering sounded upstairs in his ears.

He frowned immediately and murmured: "This boy, have you had a nightmare?"

Thinking of doing business tomorrow, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned over and got ready to sleep.

"Asuma....... Where are you......"

The next moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes immediately and sighed deeply.

"Senior Shinnosuke...I learned...thank you..."

"...Don't go...Don't go to the city of fire."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts instantly pulled to the moment when the two sons were getting along with themselves when they were young.

The previous pictures appeared one after another, and Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered that when Shinnosuke was a child, it was easy to have nightmares on rainy days.

And his wife is always away from home, so usually at this time, Shinnosuke will ask herself to be with her.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a little compassionate, and the ghost got up, habitually crept towards the second floor.

Step on each step subconsciously, so as not to make a sound and disturb Uchiha Tunan.

Gently push the door open.

In the dim room, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Uchiha Tunan had kicked the quilt away, and kept talking.

"do not leave me......"

"Father...Don't go...Father..."

This kid...

A trace of melancholy flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and he suddenly felt that he and Uchiha Tunan were a little bit sick.

One loses his parents, one loses his son.

Immediately came to Uchiha Tunan and knelt down and gently put the quilt on Uchiha Tunan.

Looking at Uchiha Tunan's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a daze, and he remembered how Shinnosuke was when he was next to him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and gently stroked Uchiha Tunan's face, frowned slightly, and the pain in his heart spread again.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan grabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand and said in an almost imploring tone:

"Father... don't go..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned slightly, covering Uchiha Tunan's with his other hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't go."

Uchiha Tunan seemed to have heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and suddenly he relaxed.

Then he turned over and put Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand under his head.

The fear just now seemed to disappear, and the smile gradually spread on his face, as if he had had a very sweet dream.

Uchiha Tunan rubbed his head on Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand, smashed his mouth, and muttered:

"Father...Master Hokage..."

The way Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, the rock-solid heart seemed to be softened.

For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The paternal love that was blocked because of the death of the two sons, as if the gate was opened, vented out.

The more I look at Uchiha Tunan, the more I feel distressed and affectionate.

Early the next morning, the early morning sunlight came in through the window, coating Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Tunan with a soft gold.

Two people sitting on their knees, one full of love, and the other indulging in sleep, constitute a very peaceful picture.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who stayed up all night, stretched out his free hand and gently rubbed his temples, refreshing.

Immediately, he looked helplessly at Uchiha Tunan, holding his hands tightly to sleep.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

It would be great if Tunan was my child.

Well-behaved, sensible, humble, hardworking, kind, meticulous, tolerant...

so perfect.

At this moment, Uchiha Tunan opened his sleepy eyes.

The whole person didn't seem to wake up completely yet, rubbing his eyes and murmured:

"Father......."

To be honest, the sound of his father instantly broke Sarutobi Hiruzen's defense.

I almost couldn't help holding Uchiha Tunan in his arms to take care of him.
