In the morning, Yuki stretched both arms as he began his day of work.
Especially now that he had Tsubaki with him, he had to consider her presence in Konoha.
Not to mention that she needed to adapt to this world.
"For now, breakfast..."
Thinking about the most important meal of the day, Yuki took a final look at his wife in bed, smiled, and headed to the kitchen. He also needed to wake up his little brother Sasuke.
"Good morning, Aniki!"
"Good morning, Sasuke..."
Listening to this familiar voice, Yuki turned his head and couldn't help but sigh. With each passing day, Sasuke became colder to his surroundings, and although he was very polite and respectful towards Yuki, in the past, Sasuke used to call him Yuki-nii, but now it was replaced by Aniki.
(Is it the rebellious stage?)
Thinking about this, Yuki sighed. Children grow, gradually losing their tenderness. What Yuki didn't know was that as the years passed, Sasuke felt embarrassed to continue calling him as he did years ago. He was growing up and was too shy to stick with his childish ways.
Because of that, Sasuke called him Aniki.
However, that wasn't the important thing now, as Yuki's physique had changed so much that even Sasuke couldn't recognize him. If it weren't for his heterochromatic eyes and Zafkiel, Sasuke would think he was someone else.
He opened his eyes wide while looking at him. If Yuki was handsome before due to his Uchiha blood, now, as 'Adám', he was a perfect being. Sasuke pinched himself several times, thinking this must be a dream.
"Don't stand there like an idiot. Breakfast will be ready soon, and you need to be prepared for the academy exams. I won't allow failure, understand?"
Ignoring Sasuke's surprise, Yuki shook his head. He knew this would happen and honestly didn't worry too much about Sasuke. He was a child, and as long as he explained the reason behind his growth, Sasuke, who was a bit naive, would believe it. The problem was with the adults.
"Oh? Eh?... I know, Aniki."
Assenting in confusion, Sasuke obeyed, though his change in appearance was surprising; he still had his distinctive features. Yuki was aware of his change but didn't want to talk about it; he easily changed the topic.
Sasuke was 12 years old, so he would soon leave the academy and become a Genin. He absolutely couldn't fail if he wanted to become a ninja.
Sasuke knew this, so he wasn't worried. After all, he was the best in his class. If he couldn't graduate, then who could?
"That relieves me. Soon, you'll have a teacher to guide you on your ninja path."
After graduating from the academy, Genin formed groups of three and were assigned to a Jonin to train them. Their group was then sent on missions to grow and strengthen themselves.
"Aniki, are you one of those Jonin teachers?"
With trembling lips, Sasuke swallowed. If Yuki was one of those Jonin assigned to teach Genin, Sasuke knew he was in trouble. He couldn't forget those infernal training sessions he went through; even now, he felt terrible pain in his calves.
"No, my job is different, and I don't have time to teach."
Yuki was Konoha's youngest Jonin, so he wasn't qualified to be a teacher. Moreover, with his Anbu leader identity being a secret, it took a lot of his time, so there were times when he wasn't at home.
"That's good..."
Sighing in relief, Sasuke thanked his ancestors for this.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, Aniki! I didn't say anything!"
Facing Yuki's questioning gaze, Sasuke stood straight as cold sweat ran down his body.
"Is that so? Well, there's something I want to tell you."
After preparing the dishes, Yuki handed Sasuke his share and smiled proudly.
"What is it, Aniki?"
Eating his breakfast happily, Sasuke couldn't feel luckier to have a good older brother. Otherwise, his life in the village might have been difficult.
"I've decided to live with my girlfriend."
*Pussssss
Spitting out the contents of his mouth, Yuki's news was an incredible shock for Sasuke. First, his appearance, and now this? Sasuke was almost going crazy.
"Don't waste the food!"
"Sorry, Aniki!"
Apologizing, Sasuke feared that Yuki would hit him for spitting out his food. Unfortunately for Sasuke, he still received a hit on the head, and he couldn't help but grab it with both hands and complain in pain.
(No, this isn't important!)
But after thinking about it more carefully, he knew there were much more important things now.
"What's wrong, Aniki?! What do you mean you'll live with your girlfriend? Who is she? Will she stay with us? Is Tsunade-sama aware?"
With Yuki's playboy nature, Sasuke didn't know who he was referring to as his girlfriend.
There were many kunoichi Yuki spoke with.
(Is it Hinata? No... Ino?)
Thinking of the two girls closest to his older brother, Sasuke was in internal conflict as he didn't know how his life would be from now on. Besides, Yuki was too young to enter married life, even though he was a Jonin. This kind of situation was very rare.
"No, she'll live with me. There are too many vacant houses in the clan, so I've decided to move in with her. Don't worry; I'll live in the house next door. As for Sister Tsunade... Don't worry about her."
Imagining Tsunade's reaction if she found out, cold sweat began to pour down Yuki's body. However, he couldn't cry over spilled milk; he had already committed to Tsubaki. He could only move forward.
"Oh..."
Lowering his head, Sasuke continued with his meal. This morning was crazy, too many pieces of news in a short moment.
"Aniki, I don't want to pry. I know you're a Jonin and all, but... isn't it too soon?"
"Hum! Our duty is to revive the Uchiha clan! And what better way to do it than to have offspring? How many times do I have to tell you? And you, Sasuke? When will you introduce me to your girlfriend?"
"I don't think I can do that."
Taking the tea cup to his mouth, Sasuke evaded Yuki's question. Since the clan was massacred, Yuki had constantly talked to Sasuke about the matter of offspring. Honestly, Sasuke couldn't do what Yuki did; this guy was good at talking and playing with women. Due to this skill, Tsunade is now his godmother.
And although Sasuke thought that sooner or later, Yuki would bring a woman home, he didn't think it would be so fast.
"Well, eat in peace and go to the academy. I'll take care of my move."
"Yes, Aniki."
Waving his hand, Yuki went to his bedroom. Tsubaki still hadn't awakened, so he needed to give her a surprise.
On the other hand, Sasuke remained speechless. The 'girlfriend' was now in their house.
---
"Well, I have to go to work. I'll leave my clones to handle the move."
Dressed in his Anbu attire, Yuki gave Tsubaki a quick kiss on the lips, and his shadow expanded as several clones emerged. If he wanted everything to be in order, he needed help, and what better way than using clones.
"Yes, Danna-sama, take care."
After being accepted and doing so the night before, Tsubaki behaved like a gentle and loving young married woman. She wasn't wrong in her behavior since she would now live with the man she loved. Wearing her traditional kimono, she bid farewell to Yuki like a Japanese wife.
Seeing this, Yuki smiled, hugged her, and gave her another kiss. This woman was so charming that he couldn't help but pamper her.
"I will..."
Wearing his Anbu mask, he simultaneously disappeared into the shadows.
He still had many things to do, and with Tsubaki in the village, he needed to ensure her protection. Even though she wasn't weak, ninja techniques varied, and anything could happen, especially with numerous eyes on his clan.
However, the most important thing now was...
(Choosing the Fifth Hokage...)
Also, catching that rat that was the cancer of Konoha.
