Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 113 Do I have the qualifications?

"Ah! Takita..."

Banma stopped in his tracks. It was as if his thoughts had come true. He had just been thinking about the young clan leader, and now he had run into him.

"Huh? It's you!" Takita frowned and immediately called out.

This black-and-white hairy, thousand-armed brat is the guy Yan Yi is particularly concerned about! Although Takita doesn't intend to cause him any trouble, that doesn't stop Takita from getting jealous... In short, he just doesn't like him!

However, their interaction did not last long, because their respective older brothers, who were standing beside them, were completely stunned.

Hikaru stared at Watamasa in disbelief, as if he had lost all the strength to speak...

He hadn't expected Wataru to appear before him at this time. Although he had prepared himself mentally, seeing Wataru holding hands tightly with the boy beside him made Hikaru almost want to cry.

Watama's mind went completely blank. Why...why is Hikaru here?!

"Hikari...?" Watama asked uncertainly, thinking he was dreaming or seeing things.

Although his clothes had changed drastically and he looked even more handsome, his slightly heroic face and his unique temperament... Wajang believed that this was the boy who had shared a broken bed with him in the mountains and taken meticulous care of him.

“Wajian…”

Xiao Guang suppressed his grievances and called out his name.

Over the years, not a single day had passed since he stopped thinking about the other person. Even this time, he had volunteered to come to this village, hoping to see Watama again. But when he finally saw him, Watama seemed to have found someone new to accompany him...

Now it was Takita and Itama's turn to be completely confused. They never expected that their own brother would know the other person.

Itama didn't understand. He had heard his older brother talk about the other person, saying that he was a child from a poor family living in the mountains. But... was this the person his brother knew?

However, Watama's expression and his suddenly clenched hands betrayed his thoughts.

Takita was even more confused. He knew his older brother had a crush on someone, but the person was a boy? That meant... he was like him?! Then who would inherit the Hagoromo clan?! He liked Genichi, and he thought his brother would leave offspring, but this...

Ignoring their two younger brothers' brainstorming, Wataru and Hikaru were on the verge of exploding with emotion.

"Xiao Guang, is it really you... but how come... weren't you in the mountains with Grandpa? How did you get here?"

A thousand questions were swirling in Wajian's mind; he really wanted to know what had happened.

Hikaru still couldn't accept it. If Watama really had fallen for someone else, then it might be inappropriate for him to be in front of him at this moment.

Shaking his head, Hikaru suddenly spoke up: "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm Hagoromo Kota, not Hikaru."

He rejected the plan he had once held in his heart; he had originally thought of himself as just a nobody in the woods, but now...

Watama panicked. Without saying anything more, he let go of his younger brother's hand and rushed towards Hikaru, grabbing the boy in front of him in a hug.

It was still that same one-handed hug, a little strenuous, yet so familiar.

"I wouldn't mistake you! You're Hikaru! It's you! I...I miss you so much! Not a day goes by that I don't want to go back to you! Why are you pretending not to know me..." As she spoke, Wajima's tears began to flow uncontrollably.

He rarely cried and was the type who didn't shed tears easily, but now this boy was standing in front of him, saying things that deliberately distanced him. All these years, he had trained hard day and night, just so that he could reunite with him.

Xiao Guang was startled. This temperature, this familiar voice... he really couldn't pretend he didn't know them.

But...

"Between the tiles...you...me..."

Before Hikaru could finish speaking, Watama interrupted him, exclaiming in a somewhat trembling voice, "I really... I was an idiot before, I didn't realize it! But now I do, I... I like you the most!"

Watama's tears were still falling like they were free, and Hikaru hadn't even come to his senses when Watama suddenly... confessed to him?

"But! But he..."

Hikaru panicked and looked at Itama, who was still standing there in a daze behind him... He really couldn't do such a despicable and immoral thing.

"Huh...?" Itama looked around in confusion before realizing the other person was looking at him. He immediately realized what was happening and waved his hands in a flustered manner. "Ah! No! I'm not! My name is Itama, and Watama is my older brother. We're brothers!"

"??"

Hikaru was stunned. Brothers? Him and Watama? But...they don't even look alike... He'd actually prejudged Watama as having a new partner...

Upon realizing this, Hikaru's face instantly turned red. He realized that he must have missed Wajima too much and had done something so stupid without even understanding the situation.

"I'm sorry! Watama... I..." Hikaru's voice suddenly became very weak, revealing deep guilt.

Wajang suddenly understood why Hikaru had suddenly become so cold towards him; it turned out to be because of this misunderstanding.

Okay, he admits that he does look a bit different from his younger brother Itama, but actually, putting aside hair color, personality, nose, mouth... at least their eyebrows and eyes are similar, right? Uh... that's a stretch.

However, judging from this, it seems that Hikaru also...

From the earlier anxiety and uncertainty to now expressing his feelings, Xiao Guang's emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down...

Before Watama could speak, Hikaru couldn't hold back any longer. She wrapped her arms around Watama and hugged him tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "I...I love you the most too! Waaah...So...I wanted to come find you too..."

He never expected, he really never expected... that Watama actually liked him too?

Takita, who was standing to the side, slowly recovered from his shock. Moved by the scene, he felt like crying... His older brother must have had a secret past with this brown-haired boy...

So, Takita was actually quite envious. But at the same time, he was genuinely happy for his brother... It was good that they had at least avoided hostility during wartime; overall, they were undoubtedly lucky.

Itama stood there, frozen in place. It was the first time he'd ever seen his third brother cry so bitterly, and the sight stung a sudden pang in his heart...

At this moment, however, the image that appeared in his mind was that of a boy with black hair, bright eyes, a sweet scent, and who always smiled at him.

One word...

Does my brother Watama like someone from the Hagoromo clan...? And what about me? Do I like Genichi too...?

The word pressed down on Itama's heart. He suddenly remembered what his brother had just told him: "Strive for it." But was he, so weak and pathetic, really qualified to like Yan Yi?

Itama looked up at the young clan leader with blue-gray hair in the distance, his expression gradually becoming somewhat disappointed.
