Itachi, who was worried that the little girl would be in danger if she was alone in the forest, followed immediately, but did not approach, but kept a certain distance, so as not to be noticed by the little girl in front, but also to be able to rush to rescue in time when there was danger .

Itachi ignored the fact that before he found this little girl, she had been practicing throwing kunai alone in the woods without anyone else protecting her.

Itachi watched the little girl catch two fish and two hares quickly and ruthlessly with kunai, then skillfully washed them in the creek, strung them on rattan sticks and ran back the way they came.

Itachi followed all the way back again, and then speeded up when he was about to reach the destination, and the little girl returned to the open space where the two of them threw Kunai just a few seconds earlier.

When Sakura came back, she didn't think too much when she saw Itachi who was still standing there. She didn't know that the boy followed her around because she was worried about her.

After all, there is still a gap between Sakura's current strength and Itachi's, especially Sakura's experience is zero. It is really difficult to find Itachi who has graduated from ninja school for nearly two years and has performed several missions.

"Wait a minute, I cook very quickly, that... Uchiha."

Sakura wants to call him "Itachi" directly, but she thinks that she doesn't know Itachi, so she can only call him "Uchiha", Itachi's surname.

"How do you know my last name?"

Itachi, who was watching Sakura busy sprinkling various seasonings on the fish and hares, still had a slight softness on his face, but after listening to Sakura's words, not only did he take back the softness, but his eyes were even more tender. Stained on guard.

As if she didn't care about Itachi who was in combat readiness at all, Sakura raised her head and gave him a hard look:

"The next time you want to hide your identity, change your clothes, at least don't walk around with such a big round fan on your back!"

Itachi blushed for a while, and the vigilance that had just risen instantly deflated like a balloon with a small hole poked.

Yes, I am wearing the family's iconic clothes today, as long as people in Konoha can recognize it, after all Uchiha is from the Konoha clan, this little girl is so smart, it is indeed normal to know Uchiha's family emblem.

but……

Itachi looked down at the little girl who continued to work after training her, and couldn't believe that she was being trained by a little girl who was five years younger than herself!

It's really embarrassing!

Itachi felt that his self-esteem seemed a little hurt.

What a rare experience!

"Itachi, my name is Uchiha Itachi."

Itachi didn't want to hear this smart and hard-working girl call herself with an unfamiliar surname like "Uchiha", so he took the initiative to tell another woman his name for the first time in a non-mission situation.

Although this woman is still so small now.

"Sakura, Haruno Sakura."

——Sakura?

Itachi's eyes fell on the little girl, no, it was Sakura's pink hair, and he found that it was really like the double cherry blossoms in full bloom in March and April, fresh and beautiful, very suitable for this smart little girl.

"Let me help you, Sakura."

Watching Sakura put the seasoned fish and hare on a wooden stick and put aside, and then went to pick up dry branches nearby, Itachi realized that he had been watching a three-year-old kid busy doing it for a long time. Meal, and I actually just stayed by the side like this!

It's a pity that Itachi spoke a little late, at this time Sakura had already picked up enough dry branches, and even quickly set up the barbecue grill!

Itachi felt guilty and at the same time was very strange. A three-year-old girl is not afraid to be alone in the woods. She is so proficient in hunting, cleaning and grilling. Does she often do these things?

Whose parents let a child so young always do this kind of work?Looking at how Sakura is dressed, she is also a child of a good family!

★★★

Sakura didn't know how far Itachi had made up her mind in just such a short while, she just noticed the shallow apology in Itachi's eyes, as if she felt guilty that he didn't help her.

From here, Sakura also saw how kind Itachi was in nature, and couldn't bear to embarrass this kind boy again, Sakura rolled her eyes, and after her hand touched the flint in her arms, she had an idea.

Seeing Sakura's big emerald green eyes blinking at him, Itachi's heart tightened for some reason, and an ominous premonition arose.

And Sakura's next sentence confirms Itachi's sixth sense is actually very correct.

"Your Uchiha family are very good at fire escape, right?"

After meeting Sakura's bright green eyes, and seeing the cunning and anticipation inside, the clever Itachi immediately understood what Sakura meant.

——Using Huodun to light a fire for cooking, I'm afraid only this little girl who doesn't look like a child in front of me can come up with such an idea in this world, right?

Yes, Sakura just wanted Itachi to use the fire escape to light the fire!

In fact, Sakura also knows that if you want to control the temperature and range of the fire escape, let the flames only ignite the dry branches instead of burning them into ashes, and only ignite the pile of dry branches without affecting the nearby trees. It is even more difficult than using a more advanced fire escape.

But since the one in front of him is Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha family, this little difficulty is not a problem for him at all, right?

Seeing Sakura with such trusting eyes, Itachi couldn't say no even if he wanted to refuse, let alone he offered to help, so why should he choose what to do?

Shaking his head slightly, Itachi still accepted the challenge, he had never tried to use the fire escape to light a fire before, and this was also the first time for him.

Can you do it yourself?

Itachi was also a little eager to try.

★★★

"Go farther away, I've never tried it before, I'm afraid of getting hurt, Sakura."

Itachi said to Sakura before sealing the seal.

"No, I trust you, Itachi."

Sakura didn't call her "Brother Itachi", after all, her age was at stake here, and she couldn't call her brother Itachi who was not related by blood.

Itachi didn't care about what Sakura called him. After a long time of contact, he no longer regarded Sakura as an ordinary little girl.

In Itachi's heart, Sakura can already stand at the same height, so calling her name directly is in Itachi's favor.

But now is not the time to be obsessed with the name, because Itachi has already had mixed emotions because of Sakura's unreserved trust.

It was the first time in his life that someone trusted him wholeheartedly for no reason, Itachi felt that the softest part of his heart had been hit hard, a little sour and a little sweet.
