July 23rd.

Konoha Hospital.

Itachi surprisingly did not train, but sat in the hospital corridor with his father, Fugaku Uchiha.

My father, who used to be steady in the past, could no longer remain calm. He couldn't even sit still. He stood up and walked back and forth from time to time.

Today is the day when his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, gave birth.

A long time ago, during the first snow of winter, Uchiha Mikoto told him that he would soon have a younger brother or younger sister.

Itachi said he should be his younger brother.

Uchiha Mikoto asked Itachi, don't you like your sister? Her sister is also very cute.

But Itachi shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't like his sister, but he had a feeling that she should be his younger brother.

It was a feeling that Itachi couldn't describe, he just felt that he should be his younger brother.

When Itachi was thinking about why he felt that way, Fugaku suddenly called Itachi and hurriedly walked into the ward.

Itachi stood up and quickly followed Fugaku in.

Pushing open the door, Itachi saw Uchiha Mikoto wearing loose clothes and holding a small person in her arms.

Seeing Itachi walking in, Mikoto's still pale face showed a smile, and said with a smile: "It's a boy, Itachi, you have a younger brother."

Itachi walked forward and walked to Mikoto's side, looking at the newborn baby.

A newborn baby has a big head. In comparison, its legs and hands are short and its skin is wrinkled, which makes it look weird.

"Life..., new life..." Itachi saw the baby in Mikoto's arms and couldn't help but think of his previous thoughts about life.

"Life? What life, What are you talking about, Itachi?" Mikoto was just about to ask Fugaku what name to choose when she heard Itachi say something softly.

"Nothing." Itachi shook his head, then poked the chubby cheek of the baby in Mikoto's arms with his finger.

His fingers poked into the soft cheek flesh and sank in directly.

'So soft, so fragile.' Itachi sighed inwardly.

He could sense that this newborn was very fragile and he could kill it with one punch.

'Brother, I will protect you from now on.' Itachi said in his heart, poking the baby's soft cheek.

New life is too fragile and needs protection.

Itachi was happy with the poke, but the baby was unhappy. I thought he wouldn't notice because of his mother's warm embrace, but it turned out that this guy didn't know what to do and was addicted.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

The baby directly used his natural skills and cried loudly.

Mikoto took Itachi's fingers off, tapped Itachi's little head, and then said to Itachi while coaxing the baby:

"Itachi, your brother is still very fragile. This will hurt him."

"I understand." Itachi put his hand away and said.

After Mikoto coaxed the baby, she handed it to Fugaku, and then asked with a smile: "Have you thought of his name?"

Fugaku nodded, then looked at the newborn baby with doting eyes, and said with a smile:

"Sasuke, just call him Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke."

"Uchiha Sasuke? It sounds good, but, Sasuke, isn't that the name of the Sandaime's father?" Uchiha Mikoto said worriedly.

Although she usually didn't deliberately observe those things, following Fugaku, she also knew that Uchiha and the village were not harmonious.

Originally, the relationship between Uchiha and the village was very tense. If he were named like this, he would be easily misunderstood.

For those who don’t know, one might think that Uchiha Fugaku includes the third generation, which means that the third generation is only worthy of being his son.

If the conflict between Uchiha and the village is triggered because of a name, it's not worth it.

"Haha, it's okay." Fugaku, who was in a happy mood after his second son was born, couldn't help but laugh twice, and then said:

"Don't worry about this. I have already told the Sandaime in advance that if it is a boy, he will be called Sasuke, and the Sandaime also agreed."

"That's good." Mikoto relaxed instantly after hearing Fugaku's words.

"Sasuke, don't live up to this name, be a man." Fugaku raised Sasuke slightly and said with a smile.

This scene reminded Itachi of the scene when he was just born. At that time, Fugaku lifted him up like this, and then called him Itachi with a smile...

"Itachi, as your elder brother, you must take good care of Sasuke in the future." Mikoto smiled and touched Itachi's black hair.

Itachi nodded obediently and said, "I will protect Sasuke well, for sure."

………………………………

Sasuke's birth had no impact on Nagazawa. If Fugaku hadn't sent someone to send him an invitation, he wouldn't have known Sasuke was born.

Nagaze worked hard to increase his prosperity to 2000 as soon as possible and unlock new templates.

Several shadow clones were created and used as teaching tools, leading people in the training team around the clock.

The Anbu who led the training team conducted hell-like training in order to strengthen the strength of the training team and increase its prosperity.

Then he went to the medical department to help Tsunade solve the development problems of the medical department.

They also increased the intensity of training for Metkai. They originally trained once every two days, but now they train twice a day.

Finally, it comes down to the special operations squad.

Moonlight Hayate and Uozuki Yugan are still in the ninja school. They will graduate in a few months. You can't ask people to graduate for no reason.

Moreover, the two of them are still young. Even if they learn the breathing method, they can only lay a good foundation in a short period of time, and their strength will not be significantly improved.

As for the Uchiha, Fugaku is what he wants, so there is no problem.

The one who is more difficult to deal with at the moment is Kosuke. Kosuke has even refused invitations from the second and third generations. Nagazawa doesn't think that the name of Hokage's assistant can make Kosuke come out, and he has to rely on his words to escape.

When Nagaze found Gusuke, Gusuke was plowing in the fields, wearing a bamboo hat and khaki shabby short-sleeved clothes, just like an ordinary old farmer.

But this is just an appearance. From what Nagazawa sees, hears, and perceives, Kosuke's aura is not weak, and is even much stronger than Kakashi at this stage.

Of course, if it was a life and death fight, Kosuke might not be able to beat the current Kakashi. After all, Kosuke had injured his leg, and what Kakashi was best at was speed.

Thanks to Nagazawa's training, Kakashi is now much stronger than he was at this stage in the original novel, both in terms of his attainments in changing chakra properties and his physical skills.

"Maruboshi-senpai," Nagazawa said politely.

After all, Kosuke is an old ninja who has experienced the second, third, and fourth generations of Hokage for three full generations. It is okay for Nagazawa to call him "senpai".

"Ah?" Gu Jie looked at Nagaze confusedly, a little confused.

"I am Fujiwara Nagazawa." Nagazawa introduced himself.

"Fujiwara Nagazawa..., he is the new assistant Hokage. Fujiwara-sama, do you have anything to do with me?" Kosuke asked.

"I would like to ask you to serve as the deputy squad leader of Konoha's special combat ninja class." Nagazawa stated his purpose.
