Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 135 So you have a younger brother?

"Eh? So you have a younger brother, Ah Feng?" Yan Yi glanced at Ah Feng in surprise, her suspicions turning strange.

"Okay, I'll introduce you to him later." Kaede Hatake seemed to have reverted to his cool demeanor, with his expression changing much less.

All of them were ninjas, and the journey was actually quite short. Before long, they arrived at a beautifully decorated wooden house.

"Haha, our family isn't very well-off, so please make yourselves at home," Wang Shan said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Although the wooden house in front of us is not big and is quite ordinary, if you look closely, you can see that every detail is done very well, and the corners of the house are also polished very smoothly.

Hatake Nozomi felt deeply guilty for not being able to provide his two sons with a better living environment. Years ago, when he was being hunted down, his wife...

However, Wang Shan didn't hesitate for long before inviting the group into the house.

Upon entering the room, one could smell a particularly strong aroma of Chinese medicine. Yan Yi immediately had a bad feeling, and Ban Jian glanced at the medicine pot in the corner with some surprise.

"What is this medicine?" Yan Yi couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Kaede Hatake's expression darkened, but he didn't intend to hide it. He calmly explained to the two of them, "My younger brother is sick... Tongtong has some congenital physical deficiencies, and his condition has been getting worse in the last two years."

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Yan Yi quickly apologized, unsure whether she should continue to comfort him.

Hearing his son's dejected tone, Wang Shan felt a pang of sadness. He desperately wanted to cure his younger son's illness, but he simply couldn't bear to abandon both of his sons and search for any possibility of a cure.

This matter was like a knife etched into Wangshan's heart, and he didn't know what to do.

Ah Feng didn't dwell on Yan Yi's apology; he simply said softly, "It's okay," and then opened the door to peek inside...

The little figure on the bed heard the door open, struggled to turn over and sit up, and rubbed his eyes, still a little dazed.

"Brother...brother...are you back?"

Seeing that her younger brother had woken up, Afeng opened the door and went in. She gently touched his cheek and said with some heartache, "Tongtong, are you feeling better today? Does your chest still hurt?"

Kazuki blinked, shook his head gently, and whispered, "I'm feeling a little better today. I should be able to get out of bed."

As he spoke, a hint of anticipation flickered in Kakeru's eyes, clearly indicating that he wanted his older brother to play with him. His brother often told him many interesting stories, and their father would also bring him delicious treats.

Hatake Nozomi sighed softly, then gestured for Genichi and Itama to sit down in the living room. He said somewhat apologetically, "As you can see... we are no longer able to be of any help to you. The Hatake family... is no longer the powerful family it once was."

Yan Yi was somewhat speechless. Back then, the Uchiha clan might have helped the Hatake clan, and the two clans might have had some past favors. However, so much time has passed that many things from the past cannot be traced back.

Not only is the Hatake clan unable to help Konoha Village or become an ally for it right now, Yan Yi feels that they can't just leave this family here and ignore them.

Afterwards, Hatake Mochiyama told the two a lot about his family's past and how he gradually got to where he is today. Although there was not much disappointment in his words, there was a deep sense of melancholy.

"So...you can go back and report now. I really can't abandon my two sons." With a deep sigh, Wang Shan gave his reply.

Wang Shan felt guilty. His eldest son was sensible and took care of his younger brother. He himself was also struggling to make ends meet, often going down the mountain to take on some jobs to earn a living.

Even so, their lives were not very good. Their youngest son, Tongtong, was tormented by recurring illnesses, and Wangshan felt really powerless.

Itama remained silent, his mind racing with countless thoughts...

He thought of himself and realized how naive he had become. He lacked any real ability, let alone the capacity to protect Yan Yi. In times of crisis, he even needed Yan Yi to protect him...

Looking back, I realize that I am actually very lucky compared to the family in front of me now.

Itama is a kind person. Seeing this family and Ah-Feng's younger brother suffering from illness, he felt sad and compassionate, so he wanted to help them...

The air fell silent. The two children and the adult sat quietly at the table, watching the steam rising from the hot water in the blankets, without saying a word for a long time.

"Brother? Are we having guests?"

A clear, melodious, yet slightly weak voice broke the silence.

The three looked up and saw that Kaede Hatake was helping his younger brother out of the room.

"Can Tongtong get out of bed today? Don't push him too hard..." Wangshan stood up, walked to Qimu Tong's side, and picked up his youngest son.

"I'm fine, Dad. I feel pretty good today!" The boy smiled, but his weakness was still quite obvious.

Yan Yi silently observed the boy. Was it Kakeru Hatake...?

Like his Hatake clan, he had almost entirely white, unblemished hair and a handsome, cute face. However, unlike his brother and father, this boy had blue eyes.

Like a tranquil lake, with a glimmer of light shining in its eyes.

"I don't remember..."

Yan Yi searched her mind for a long time but couldn't find any information about this person, nor could she find any matching characteristics.

In other words, he probably didn't have any descendants, and perhaps he died young because of this illness...

Therefore, it seems that Kaede Hatake is Sakumo Hatake's father and Kakashi's grandfather.

Seeing the slightly appraising gazes of Yan Yi and Banma, Hatake Kirito wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he said with some curiosity, "Wow, you're two older brothers I've never seen before! My name is Hatake Kirito. Are you here to visit our home?"

Yan Yi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately put on a smile and introduced herself to Hatake Kirito. Then it was Itama's turn, who also introduced himself with some embarrassment.

Although Kakeru Hatake had never met the two of them, both of them had rather cute faces that made people want to get close to them, especially for a child like him who had hardly ever met outsiders.

Wang Shan smiled faintly, then turned to the two and said, "Would you like to stay for a meal? Then you can go back early tomorrow morning. Our clan's affairs..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but he had already refused, and Yan Yi knew about Wangshan's situation. However, as an Uchiha and a Konoha ninja, how could he just leave them there unattended?

He wasn't thinking about whether the Hatake clan could help Konoha, but rather how to help them.

Furthermore, their village doesn't have a very good medical system, so even if they wanted to treat Tongtong's illness, it probably wouldn't be easy...

However, upon hearing what Wang Shan said, Yan Yi immediately nodded and said somewhat apologetically, "Then I'll have to trouble you... Thank you, Uncle Wang Shan."

"You're welcome..."

Wangshan put down his youngest son and let Afeng take care of him, then turned and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
