Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 207 What are you planning to do?

Footsteps sounded, and the door opened.

A boy with short gray hair and gray eyes, who looked remarkably like Takita, opened the door and looked at his younger brother with some surprise.

"Hey? I have time, let's go together!"

Kota Hagoromo nodded. Although he was a little worried about his younger brother's recent condition, his brother seemed to be in a better mood now.

Seeing that his brother had agreed, Takita smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll come back later to call my brother, let's go find a good restaurant in the village!"

After saying this, Takita didn't want to disturb him any longer and turned to leave Kota's room.

As Kota watched his younger brother's departing figure, he felt that although his brother seemed to be in a better mood, he still felt that his brother had something on his mind, or rather, some plans, that he hadn't told him.

He didn't know how to help his younger brother. Over the years, he had gradually taken over a lot of family affairs, but Takita deliberately handled those complicated matters himself and didn't intend to trouble his older brother.

The two didn't have a very deep relationship, after all, they had only known each other for a short time. Unlike other families who grew up together, their relationship... never felt like that of the brothers from the neighboring families.

Takita returned to his desk on the clan grounds and began to formulate the clan's development direction for the coming year. This included training arrangements for the younger clan members, priorities for clan building, and a whole host of other miscellaneous tasks...

The afternoon passed just like that. Takita looked at the sky outside gradually darkening, sat up, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Ugh... I'm so tired... I wonder if this arrangement is reasonable..."

He looked at the series of grand plans laid out in front of him, then got up and went back to Kota's room.

"Brother! I'm all better!"

"coming!"

Kota's voice came from the room. A moment later, the door opened, and Kota had a towel on his head and was wiping his wet hair with one hand.

"Oh, sorry to wait a little longer! I'm changing my clothes! Don't stand at the door, come in."

Kota opened the door and then began rummaging through the closet...

Looking at the boy who looked almost exactly like him except for his hair and eye color, Takita whispered something in his heart, as if making a prayer...

She hopes her brother can help her take care of the family in the future, at most a year... she will definitely come back.

Yes, he never intended to go and die. Even if no one survived, Takita had to come back. Not just try to come back alive, but he absolutely had to make the clan stronger.

He has already lost far too much because of his powerlessness and weakness, and this is to prevent the same thing from happening again.

"I'm all better now, just like you, haha~"

Kota changed into the same clothes as Takita. The two were not much different in age, and they did look very similar.

Takita was stunned for a moment; he really hadn't expected it. When was the last time his brother wore the same clothes as him?

"Waji isn't here with me today; he seems to be visiting his younger brother... so I'll keep you company tonight!"

Seeing his older brother Kota's smiling face and high spirits, Takita suddenly realized something.

Kota noticed his younger brother's unusual behavior. Even though he hid it well, a faint trace of strange emotion still slipped out.

"Okay, sure..."

The two walked side by side, having not walked together like this in a long time. Since the establishment of Konoha Village, they had been extremely busy with various affairs, especially the integration of their clans with the village. Many things were still being explored and were not yet fully integrated.

In the evening in Konoha Village, after yesterday's rain, the weather was quite nice. The various stalls and brightly lit shops on the streets gradually dispelled the tense atmosphere that had just ended the war.

"How about this one? What kind of food do you want, brother?" Takita pointed to a restaurant on the street that looked pretty good.

"Okay, it looks really good."

......

"Mmm! I didn't expect it to taste so good!" Takita said with a satisfied expression as he stuffed his mouth with food.

Such a simple way to relax, yet so effective.

As they ate, Takita slowed down and started chatting with Kota.

"Brother, did you know? Next year, I plan to locate the family's construction center there..."

"And also, some new training grounds will be built on the clan's territory in the second half of the year. Our clan really isn't doing as well as the Uchiha clan..."

"Yes, and the financial report... It probably won't look too good last year because of the war. But next year... we can slowly recover."

"besides..."

"Taki-chan," Kwangta interrupted his younger brother.

He looked at Takita with a sorrowful expression, unsure how to express himself, but he sensed something in his heart: "Takita, you're suddenly telling me all this not because you want me to share some of your burden... but because you have no choice, right? You... never told me these things before..."

"Brother...I..."

Takita was somewhat at a loss. He didn't want his brother to know about his plan to take the risk, because his brother would definitely try his best to stop him.

Kota gripped his chopsticks, looked down at the food on his plate, and suddenly lost his appetite.

"Taki...are you planning to do something?"

"No..."

"But why are you acting like you're making your final arrangements? Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Kota suddenly raised his face, staring intently into Takita's eyes. The Takita opposite him looked almost exactly like him, except that Takita's blue-gray eyes were more lively and spirited. But now, however, there was a hint of panic and tension in Kota's expression.

"Brother... I... I wasn't giving my final instructions, I was just chatting..."

His ears turned red, a clear indication that he couldn't lie.

"We're each other's only family...didn't you say that? We're brothers...that's what you said too, you can't...you can't do something irresponsible..."

But as he said this, Kota lowered his head again, and a tear silently rolled down his cheek.

He knew that his younger brother, Takita, had almost never been truly happy or joyful; instead, he had suffered one setback after another...

He wouldn't blame the Uchiha Genichi from the neighboring family, but Taki was really too pitiful. He clearly... clearly liked him so much.

However, he was not involved and did not know the specifics of Yan Yi's situation. He was just feeling sad as an older brother seeing Takita's heartbroken appearance.

As for himself... he has Watamasa to keep him company, but Takita still doesn't have anyone like that by his side.

Even if it existed, it doesn't exist now.

It seems he has nothing left, no one left for him, as if everything has returned to the state of his youth when everyone was distant and no one could enter his heart.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'll think about it again..." Takita shook his head slightly, then cheered up again. "It's rare for us brothers to eat out together. I'm sorry I spoiled the fun earlier. Try this shrimp! It's delicious!"

"Well, let's not talk about that for now, but no matter what... I hope you're doing well..." Kota regained his composure and focused on the delicious dinner.

Boiled shrimp is simple yet delicious.

"Mmm, it tastes really good!"

"Yeah, we should try it at home sometime... It doesn't look too complicated to make... maybe?"
