Chapter 292 Winter Fun
Chapter 292 Winter Fun
A few months later, the cicadas stopped chirping, the ground was covered with silver, and life fell into silence.
But the curling smoke from cooking fires is still the norm in Konoha, and the arrival of winter has not affected its pace.
Two or three children, wearing thick new clothes, were playing and laughing in the snow, adding a touch of joy to the world.
Uchiha Itachi carefully held the door, poked his little head out, looked around to make sure there was no one, then tiptoed out of the yard and trotted all the way out of the house.
Outside, the snow is like flowers. The light snowflakes are like white flowers, quietly blooming in the air, bringing people a sense of freshness and pleasantness.
Uchiha Itachi tightened his winter clothes, as if this would help him get more heat, and walked out of the Uchiha clan's territory step by step in the fine snow.
Looking at the strangers outside, the little guy did not get nervous like an ordinary child, but looked around with a curious and inquiring look.
Everything was so new and it was the first time that the two-year-old boy could consciously see the village.
"It's so lively!" Uchiha Itachi exclaimed with his mouth open.
The village is still bustling in winter. With the rapid technological changes today, people are no longer so afraid of the cold.
The shops in the streets and alleys are still brightly lit, and the sounds of hawking, bargaining and laughter can be heard day and night.
This colorful scene shocked Uchiha Itachi, who, thanks to his small body, moved swiftly among the crowd.
When he left home, he brought money with him, so when he saw something he liked, he would just buy it without bargaining.
Coupled with his cute appearance, the shop owner was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and praised him.
Uchiha Itachi expressed his gratitude politely, then continued his "journey", running among the crowd.
Itachi Uchiha was immersed in the colorful world. His eyes were attracted by the prosperity and he couldn't take his eyes off it, so it was natural that he would bump into people.
A few minutes later, Uchiha Itachi scratched his head awkwardly and kept apologizing. His little face was sincere and he looked very good, especially the fat on his cheeks, which were trembling and made people want to pinch them.
"Sorry...I'm sorry! I was distracted just now and didn't see you clearly." Uchiha Itachi stuttered nervously.
Hoshino Kaede smiled gently, and it seemed that even the air around him became softer.
"It's okay. Just be careful next time. The festival is coming, Konoha will become more and more lively, and there will be more and more people."
"Don't be so absent-minded like you were just now. If something happens, your parents will be worried."
Uchiha Itachi raised his head and nodded vigorously on his handsome face. He knew that everything the man in front of him said was right.
Then he asked, "Excuse me, brother, are you here with your family to play?"
The word "brother" made Xingye Feng's heart blossom with joy. His eyebrows curved like crescent moons and he said with a smile.
"The celebration is coming, I took them out to do some shopping and get some new clothes."
Konoha has had festival celebrations since the village was founded. They are held once a year and are extremely lively, with a grand fireworks display.
Every time at this time, merchants would rush in as if they were injected with chicken blood, smelling the scent and making the streets suddenly crowded.
Xingye Feng pointed at a few people beside him and said without blushing or panting: "They always stay at home. This is not good. They should go out more often."
When Yahiko and Kimimaro saw Hoshino Kaede talking nonsense seriously, black lines appeared on their foreheads and the corners of their mouths twitched.
Isn't this you? You lie on the chair every day, and unless it is necessary, even their meals are delivered to you.
But Uchiha Itachi didn't know that. He thought it was just as Hoshino Kaede said.
At this time, Goji Yagura said with a speechless expression: "But I go out quite often on weekdays, why did you call me?"
Xingye Feng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's just a side thing. Besides, I can't be partial to one and ignore the other. There's nothing wrong with going out for a walk together. You won't lose any meat."
The corner of Karatachi Yagura's mouth twitched, he turned his head away and responded with silence.
Such an unreasonable reason was given so openly by Xingye Feng. How shameless he is.
Seeing Yagura choking, Hoshino Kaede reached out and touched his head hard a few times, knowing how to measure very well and stopping immediately before the man got angry.
"I'm not a child anymore!" Goji Yagura's face flushed, he was both shy and angry, he spoke word by word with gritted teeth.
Xingye Feng's mouth curled up, revealing a smirk that deserved a beating: "But in front of me, you are no different from a child."
Goji Yagura was furious, with anger flashing in his eyes. There seemed to be a cloud of steam above his head, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
Seeing this, Hoshino Kaede sneered twice, withdrew his restless hands, then took a step back, hid behind Yahiko and Kimimaro, and spoke to them with a sad face.
"Help! He's going to beat someone up in the street!"
This exaggerated expression and shameless behavior made Yagura's chest heave. He was filled with anger and had no place to vent it. He pointed at him with trembling fingers.
"You...if you have the guts, be a real man and fight me one-on-one, using only fists!" Yagura was well aware of the gap in strength between the two sides, so he suggested using only fists.
But Xingye Feng decisively refused: "No! It's not appropriate to fight today, and there are children here."
"You...you!" Yagura was so angry that he stomped his feet in frustration. Looking at the unmoved Hoshino Kaede, Yagura was so angry that his internal injuries were about to burst out.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Uchiha Itachi immediately ran to Yagura to smooth things over and said, "Brother, can I ask a question?"
Yagura heard this, anger still in his eyes, but he still said: "Go ahead and ask, I won't be done with him after you ask."
Uchiha Itachi heard it and immediately said: "Excuse me, do you know who Master Hoshino is?"
After hearing this, Yagura's gaze immediately fell on him, and he also glanced at Hoshino Kaede out of the corner of his eye.
He responded, "I know. He's a famous person in Konoha nowadays."
Yagura looked at Hoshino Kaede in a sarcastic tone and said this, listening to Hoshino Kaede's dry laughter.
After hearing this, Uchiha Itachi's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Can you tell me about his deeds? My parents respect him very much, and I want to know why."
Upon hearing this, Yagura raised his eyebrows, looked at Xingye Feng with a half-smile and said, "Although I know this, I think this person knows him better than me."
Hearing Yagura pushing him out, Hoshino Kaede smiled helplessly, knowing that he was trying to trip him up. He then walked to Itachi's side, squatted down and picked him up.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk while we walk."
"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"Uchiha Itachi, thank you for your guidance." Itachi said seriously.
Xingye Feng suddenly realized, then tapped his little nose and said with a smile: "So he is an acquaintance's child, no wonder he is so smart."
The three people behind him all looked strange when they heard Uchiha Itachi's name.
"So he is the son of the Uchiha clan leader." Several people thought at the same time.
