Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 12 Is Father a little happy?

Pushing open the door to enter the room, Izuna, who was staring intently out the window, heard the noise and turned his head slightly, his voice revealing his disinterest...

"Brother Ban, you're back... Huh? Ah!! Yan Yi!! You're back!"

Izuna immediately jumped up excitedly and rushed to Madara's side...

Madara chuckled softly and put Yan Yi down from his back. The moment Yan Yi's feet touched the ground, Izuna embraced him tightly.

"Ahhh! You! You're finally back... Waaaaaah... I thought you'd been eaten by wild beasts... Waaaaah..."

Izuna's pent-up emotions finally erupted. On the surface, he didn't seem as dejected as Madara, but in reality, his pain was no less than Madara's... After all, the two were close in age, and Izuna had been playing with him since childhood, so their relationship was actually very good.

Yan Yi was so tightly embraced by Quan Nai that he could hardly breathe, but he was also very happy. Seeing how worried his older brothers were about him, much of the grievance he felt instantly dissipated...

"Mmm...Second Brother, you're holding me so tight..."

Upon hearing this, Izuna immediately released his grip and looked at Yan Yi with some concern, asking, "Are you not injured anywhere? Your body should still be intact, right?"

"Uh... I'm fine..."

Although Yan Yi answered that she was fine, Ban also came to her senses at this moment, immediately pulled Yan Yi to stand in front of her, and then reached out and carefully touched Yan Yi from head to toe...

"Ah! I'm really okay! Brother Ban, stop touching me! Hey..."

After being thoroughly inspected by his two older brothers, Yan Yi quickly ran away. Although they were worried about him, it still made him feel very embarrassed.

Seeing his younger brother so lively and energetic, Ban felt a sense of relief, realizing he wasn't seriously injured.

He then stood up again, looking extremely happy, and said to Yan Yi, "I'm going to tell Father this good news! Tonight, our whole family must celebrate... no, our entire clan must celebrate!"

Just as Ban was excitedly expressing his joy, his mother's voice came from outside...

"Ban? What happened to you? Ban... I know your brother's disappearance has been a huge blow to you... but you have to pull yourself together..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ban pulled the door open.

"No! Mother! Look! Yan Yi is back!"

Minako Uchiha also saw Yan Yi. She was somewhat incredulous that this child could return after being away for so long.

This isn't some peaceful time where everyone helps each other. This is the extremely dangerous and turbulent Warring States period, where the average lifespan is less than thirty years! Someone of Yan Yi's age... after being away for so long, there's practically no chance of survival.

"Mother!"

Yan Yi immediately rushed into his mother's arms. Although he wasn't an infant who hadn't been weaned, the mother in this world was still his biological mother. Despite his brothers having always taken care of him more, how could he be indifferent to the fact that his mother had given him life and sacrificed so much for him?

Minako finally came to her senses, and tears immediately welled up in her beautiful eyes...

"Yan Yi! My child... I'm so glad you're still alive... It's my fault for not coming to find you..." Minako held Yan Yi's small body, speaking with a hint of self-reproach...

Yan Yi quickly shook her head and replied, "No, how can you blame Mother..."

The Uchiha clan, at least their family, is like this. Mothers at home rarely directly manage their children's lives, but they take care of everything else, such as food, clothing, and shelter.

Aside from these household chores, she rarely spoke to educate the children. This was also Tajima's request; he wanted the brothers to support and care for each other, so that their future relationship would be much better than that of ordinary brothers, and they would definitely help each other.

Even so, how could she, as a mother, not care about her son?

"Ban! Quick, go tell your father! He'll be so happy..."

Spotted nodded and was about to leave when Tajima's voice came from outside the door: "Don't bother looking for me, I've already been notified and am back..."

Seeing his youngest son unharmed and full of energy, Tajima first gave Yan Yi a deep look, then laughed loudly three times: "Hahaha!"

"As expected of my son, Uchiha Tajima! He survived even under these circumstances! Good, good, good!"

After saying "good" several times, Tajima walked over and "seriously" patted Yan Yi's head with his broad palm, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Father, I'm sorry I worried you..."

Although her father was usually very serious and imposing, Yan Yi could still feel his concern for her. He must have organized countless searches for her since she went missing.

"Well, it's a blessing that you came back safely. Get some rest... Madara, take your brother to take a bath and change his clothes. We'll have a big celebration for the whole clan tonight!" Tajima rarely smiled, and his tone was much gentler.

Yan Yi's maturity and ability to handle unexpected situations unscathed made Tajima increasingly optimistic about him.

Now that he had seen his son and finished giving instructions, Tajima touched Yan Yi's face again before leaving.

Ban was somewhat surprised that his usually stern father would react so strongly today, and at this time... he must have come back specifically to visit Yan Yi. So after giving his instructions, his father hurriedly left again.

"Alright, let me take you to wash up~ You've been wandering around outside for so long, you really need to wash off all the bad luck!"

Madara, holding Yan Yi's hand, headed towards the bathroom. Seeing this, Izuna immediately followed, clamoring to shower together...

Minako simply smiled at her brothers without lingering. Now that her son was home, she finally felt relieved.

"Let's make braised fish, Yan Yi's favorite dish, tomorrow..." Cooking for the children is what she does best as a mother.

......

It wasn't until he was taking a bath that Ban asked Yan Yi about what had happened during this time.

Yan Yi gave a brief explanation, but didn't mention anything related to Itama. Even if Itama saved him, it wouldn't change the Senju clan's opinion of him.

"..."

Ban listened to Yan Yi's account and fell silent. It was indeed the Senju people who kidnapped Yan Yi when they passed through the Naka River. If he had arrived sooner, perhaps Yan Yi wouldn't have suffered so much...

"But I'm fine now! Don't worry, brother, look, my injuries are all healed..."

Sitting in the bathtub, Yan Yi raised her hand and shook it, then struggled to hold onto the tub wall and stretched both feet out of the water.

Madara chuckled and gently squeezed Yan Yi's soft soles, saying with a smile, "Alright, alright, I know you're pretty good, but since your injury has just healed, you still need to rest more. As ninjas, we can't afford to leave hidden injuries on our feet..."

Listening to Ban Ge's "lecture", Yan Yi pouted and muttered softly, "I know, Ban Ge... I'll rest properly."

Yan Yi really wanted to take a good rest for a while. He needed to adjust his condition in order to cope with the high-intensity training that might come later.

Since I'm here... I have to do something!
