Hatake Satoru followed behind and walked in. Mikoto was a little surprised, but after Hatake Satoru explained who he was, she warmly went to pour tea.
Almost only Shisui came back with Uchiha Itachi. I didn't expect Uchiha Itachi to have friends like this in the village.
And looking at Hatake Satoru's age and status, he seemed like someone trustworthy.
The three of them leaned their heads over the cradle. Sasuke, who was not yet big, lay inside, staring at the three with his eyes wide open.
His black eyes rolled around, and finally fell on his brother's face. Sasuke beamed with joy.
"Ugh..."
Hatake Satoru, also an older brother, felt hurt by this treatment.
"His younger brother only likes him. Besides Aunt Mikoto and Itachi, no one else can hold him."
Although Shisui did not have a sibling with a direct blood relationship, he seemed to have a lot of envy, and his words revealed a hint of sourness.
After all, his relationship with Itachi was good, but as soon as he held Sasuke, Sasuke would cry as if a ghost had come.
What's wrong with this kid.
Hatake Satoru just sat on the side, propping his cheek and watching with great interest. If it followed the original plot.
No matter how clingy Sasuke was to Uchiha Itachi now, or how much he liked him, in the end, they would both face a tragic outcome.
This was Hatake Satoru's first time seeing Shisui.
Hatake Satoru's gaze fell on Shisui. This person appeared very few times in the original work, essentially being someone who lived only in memories.
Although he would be a very capable person, he did not have any particularly prominent expressions so far.
This was before these two embarked on their tragic path.
Hatake Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly. Subtly, he had a thought to change the future of these two.
At least it was still early. If he wanted to change it, perhaps there was still hope.
Currently, they had not yet been entangled in the political vortex of any village or clan. Shisui was idle and did nothing all day.
Uchiha Itachi was still studying at the ninja academy and taking care of Sasuke, living a life on a three-point line.
Although they were both so-called geniuses, clearly nothing extraordinary had happened yet.
Genius seemed to be mass-produced in ninja villages. Kakashi was also a genius, and there were plenty of geniuses.
Although it didn't feel easy, and even for Hatake Satoru, with his current abilities, trying to mediate the affairs between the village and the Uchiha Clan would be too difficult for him.
It wasn't even difficult; it was almost impossible.
If such a large-scale struggle could be resolved by one person's ability, Uchiha Itachi would not have ended up with the massacre of his clan back then.
Even with Six Eyes or short-distance teleportation, there were always things Hatake Satoru couldn't do.
"Ummm..."
Sasuke whined and reached out to Uchiha Itachi, wanting to be held.
Hatake Satoru was called back by the child's voice and paused, looking at Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi was about to reach out when he realized two pairs of eyes were staring intently at him.
Hatake Satoru and Shisui looked at him with subtle expressions. Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment before picking up Sasuke.
Hatake Satoru studied Sasuke's appearance and realized that no matter how many people thought that Sasuke was a handsome guy later on, for now, he was just an ordinary, even somewhat unlikable child.
Hatake Satoru had no maternal instinct, and looking at Sasuke now, he couldn't muster any feelings.
He was just here to make his presence known and see what he looked like.
His purest purpose in interacting with people was just happiness, a kind of Sagittarius nature.
Uchiha Itachi saw that Sasuke's voice had softened considerably, although his voice was not loud to begin with.
Hatake Satoru paused for a moment. In fact, his memories of coaxing children were almost all from the original body's memories.
Kakashi was indeed easy to hold when he was young; he wasn't as fussy as Sasuke, crying as soon as someone else tried to hold him.
Although the memories were there, and the feel was clear, he felt that without holding it himself, there was no substance.
Hatake Satoru's fingers moved slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
When he arrived here, Kakashi was already quite old and didn't look like a child at all.
And because of Hatake Sakumo, the kid wasn't close to Hatake Satoru at all.
The last time he came back to get clean clothes, Hatake Satoru almost spat out his mouthwash. The kid had grown almost as strong as him, though his height was still a bit short.
But he was definitely not the way Hatake Satoru had seen him before.
If it weren't for the characteristic mask, Hatake Satoru would have almost driven Kakashi away.
Fortunately, not only was Hatake Satoru stunned, but Kakashi was also stunned, as they saw each other only a few times a year.
Kakashi did put his clean clothes at home as an excuse to go home.
But Hatake Satoru wasn't always at home, so they missed each other quite a few times.
Although Kakashi wanted to say a few words to his brother, it was difficult to speak. He felt that some things, once the timing for speaking was missed, would become difficult to repair.
And it felt a bit strange if they didn't touch. If they did, it would also feel strange.
In short, it was a confusing feeling.
"I thought you would be taller than me this time."
After Kakashi said indifferently, he quickly took his clothes and left.
Hatake Satoru rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, blinked, and then looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was coaxing the child on the other side.
"Ah, Itachi, let me hold your brother."
"I've held Kakashi too~! I definitely won't be like Shisui."
Hatake Satoru, with an experienced look, reached out to Uchiha Itachi.
"Are you all amazing because you have brothers?"
Shisui clearly didn't expect to be mentioned, and complained involuntarily.
"What then? If you're jealous, why don't you split yourself into one?"
Hatake Satoru provocatively smiled at Shisui with some pride.
...So annoying.
Uchiha Itachi and Shisui had the same thought.
"Well, but some girls tried to hold him before, and it didn't seem to work out."
Uchiha Itachi said as he handed Sasuke over.
"Of course, girls won't work."
Hatake Satoru said as if it were natural. Spoon.
