Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 91 Grandpa can rest assured now, right?

Xiao Guang was a little lost. In this situation, let alone a teenager like him, anyone would be confused under normal circumstances.

Kuranosuke held him and cried for a long time, and Hikaru didn't struggle. When Kuranosuke came to his senses, he realized he had been somewhat out of line...

"I'm sorry, Kota, it's my fault for not protecting you back then..." Kuranosuke quickly composed himself and apologized softly.

How should Xiaoguang answer?

In this situation, who could accept such a fact? The man holding him and crying was his father. Even the blood ties etched into his bones made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Dad... calm down, you've scared him..."

Takita's eyelids twitched; it was the first time he had ever seen his father cry so bitterly.

Kuranosuke quickly released Hikaru and stared at the young face in front of him for a long time...

He resembled him greatly, and he also resembled Takita. Moreover, that connection resonated in his heart like a great bell, constantly reminding him that this was the son he thought had died young.

"I'm doing well... You don't need to apologize... It was my unauthorized visit..."

Hikaru wanted to say something, but his words tormented Kuranosuke's heart, one after another.

This can't be blamed on Xiaoguang. After all, he hasn't fully accepted everything before him. Subconsciously, he still feels like a poor boy who has rashly visited the Feather Robe Clan...

"No, child, don't say such things... I'm so happy, it's so good that you can come home!" After the great sorrow, Kuranosuke was overjoyed. At this moment, he put his hands on Hikaru's shoulders, his eyes full of joy and love.

"But...I..."

Before Xiaoguang could finish speaking, Cangnosuke waved his hands repeatedly and said, "If you have any needs, be sure to tell Daddy anytime! I've neglected you for far too long... If there's anything you want to do or anything you desire, Daddy will do everything in his power to fulfill your wish!"

As Kuranosuke spoke, his gaze fell upon Takita, who was still sitting on the bed, looking on with a sigh.

“Takita! Although you are the younger brother, your older brother has just returned to the family, and he will need your help in many things.”

Takita, of course, knew, so he nodded readily and replied, "I know, Dad! I'll definitely take good care of him..."

Kuranosuke paused for a moment, then corrected Takita, saying, "What do you mean 'he'... you should call him 'brother'."

"Uh..."

Takita looked embarrassed. He really wanted a brother, but now that he actually had one, he still couldn't quite bring himself to call him that.

Hikaru shook her head, mustered her courage, and came to Takita's defense, saying, "It's okay... I... I'm not used to all these changes yet..."

The meaning is clear: Kuranosuke fully understands the feelings of his son who has been lost and found again... It will probably take some time before he calls him "Dad".

"Okay! Kota, don't be shy. This is your home, do whatever makes you comfortable!"

Kuranosuke patted Hikaru's head one last time. He knew that Hikaru was having a hard time adjusting to their sudden first meeting, so he needed to give him time to adjust.

"Alright... Although you may be a little unaccustomed to it right now, never forget that we are family!"

Kuranosuke gave a few more casual instructions, told Takita to take good care of him, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Kuranosuke turned back apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Kota, you came back so suddenly, I didn't prepare a room for you... Here, you can sleep with your brother for now! I'll have the clansmen arrange a room for you tomorrow!"

"Ah...no need..."

Before Hikaru could refuse, Takita said anxiously to his father, "No need, Dad! I can live with him forever!"

Kuranosuke frowned, then tentatively looked at Hikaru.

"Kouta...would you...be willing to live with your brother? It's okay, whether you want to live together or not, I'll prepare a separate room for you, don't worry!"

Hikaru glanced at Takita somewhat shyly, then nodded.

"I'm willing..."

......

Kuranosuke sat alone in a corner of his room, facing a shrine above which were clearly placed the memorial tablets of his wife and his sons who had already sacrificed their lives...

At this moment, tears streamed down his face; he was both sad and happy.

Kuranosuke reached out, his hand trembling slightly, and picked up one of the memorial tablets...

"Kouta is still alive...he doesn't need this."

After saying that, Kuranosuke fiercely broke the memorial tablet in two.

"I will definitely take good care of Kota and Takita! Sota, Sōta, and my Kana... Don't worry..."

Although he was very tired and exhausted, he didn't plan to go to sleep. He wanted to stay here and talk to them properly... because of Kota's return, he had so many things he wanted to express.

......

"Um...brother..."

Takita almost swallowed it all.

He had already built up a decent relationship with Xiaoguang... but after his father's reaction just now, he felt awkward again.

Xiao Guang looked up, his expression unreadable. Too much had happened today; he needed time to process it all.

However, Takita's words reminded him that he seemed to be quite lucky.

Just now, I heard the clan chief... and my father say that I was stranded outside because of an accident, not because my parents abandoned me.

Now that I'm finally home, I should have accomplished what Grandpa hoped for, right?

Hikaru composed himself, turned around, and replied, "Yeah, thank you, Takita... little brother..."

Hearing Hikaru's pleasant voice and his attempt to relax and accept the situation made Takita's face turn bright red instantly.

I really do have an older brother now!

"Brother! You can sleep with me tonight! I'm a very quiet sleeper, don't worry!"

Takita immediately regained his liveliness; as long as Hikaru gave him a way out or a response, he would immediately forget his embarrassment.

He was completely immersed in this rare brotherly bond, calling him "brother" repeatedly...

All I can say is that Takita is truly remarkable; he can adapt quickly even in this situation and remains as outgoing as ever.

Because of Takita's initiative, Hikaru gradually let down his guard. It wasn't that he wanted to be wary, but rather that he instinctively wanted to protect himself.

However, now that Hikaru hears Takita calling him "brother" all the time, he's slowly starting to accept his new identity...

After all, he had fantasized about having a brother or something.

"Brother, how did you live before? Tell me about it!"

"Mmm...As far back as I can remember, I've always been with my grandfather..."

......

The two boys lay on the bed, chatting, and before they knew it, Takita had fallen asleep.

However, Xiao Guang couldn't sleep... He looked at the night outside the window, a sense of confusion rising in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

My family, which came about all of a sudden, isn't so bad... At least, although I've never met them, my biological father loves me, my younger brother Takita is adorable, and I wasn't abandoned.

Xiao Guang's worries gradually diminished.

Hagoromo Kouta... I'll probably have this name and identity from now on, so Grandpa... can rest assured now.
