Chapter 13 Can you take me out to play, Brother Ban?
On the night they returned to their clan's territory, the Uchiha clan held a rare banquet together. One reason was to celebrate the return of the clan head's third son, Uchiha Genichi, to the clan, and the other was because they had gained a considerable advantage in their recent battle against the Senju clan.
Although Tajima is usually very serious, he is not actually a rigid person, so he was quite happy to hold this gathering.
After all, the Uchiha clan is naturally more emotional than others. They celebrate when they win and feel frustrated when they lose, making them a clan with maxed-out emotional levels.
However, Yan Yi, the protagonist of the night, was not very interested in the clan's celebration. He just chatted with his second brother in the room, confiding his grievances over the past few days.
Now that he's left the dorm, he desperately needs his family's company. Although his second brother is a bit arrogant, he's always been very good to Yan Yi and often shares his snacks with him.
So Yan Yi didn't really feel anything about that gathering.
After resting at home for several days, Tajima personally examined every part of Yan Yi's body today. Only after confirming that there were no hidden injuries on his body did he allow him to resume his cultivation tomorrow.
It wasn't that the clan leader spoiled his youngest son; after all, he wasn't indulged at all during his training. Everything was done according to Uchiha standards, perhaps even more so.
After the physical examination, Yan Yi immediately found Ban, who had just finished training.
Since training resumes tomorrow, he's not entirely bored staying home with his second brother all day, but he's been cooped up for days and really wants to go out and see the world...
Ban was changing his clothes when he saw Yan Yi push open the door and look at him pitifully with his big eyes. He instantly understood what Yan Yi was thinking.
Although his younger brother was deliberately making a cute face at him, which was hard for him to resist, he really didn't dare let Yan Yi go out to play again after finally getting his brother back.
At least for the time being, we can't take Yan Yi out anymore! We'll wait until Yan Yi is able to protect herself, or at least has the ability to escape, before taking her out to play again...
He was truly terrified this time. Having lost his two older brothers at a young age, he cherished his younger brother dearly. Moreover, his father, mother, and even Izuna had repeatedly instructed him never to take Yan Yi away from the clan territory again!
"Uh... Yan Yi, please forgive your brother. You know I can't take you out..." Ban said helplessly, his tone tinged with fear, worried that his younger brother would be unhappy.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yi immediately pouted, her eyes blinking as if she was about to cry...
Ban immediately panicked and rushed over to pick Yan up, coaxing, "Listen to me~ I really can't take you out anymore, really..."
However, Yan Yi didn't cry. Instead, she immediately changed her expression and laughed: "Haha, Brother Ban...please!"
"It really won't work..."
"Humph..."
Ban quickly racked his brains for a way to keep Yan Yi from leaving the clan territory while still making him happy.
"How about this, I'll take you for a walk around the clan's territory, and I'll buy you candy if you want!" This was the best solution he could think of; he simply loved his younger brother Yan Yi too much.
"Okay, okay." Yan Yi immediately cheered up again.
Knowing that he really couldn't leave the clan's territory, Yan Yi stopped worrying. He didn't want to put Ban in a difficult position. Even if Ban decided to risk taking him out today, he wouldn't actually leave on his own.
Just now, I just found interacting with my brother quite interesting...
Seeing that Yan Yi didn't insist on going out, Ban couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He rarely refused his younger brother's requests, although his brother wouldn't make any unreasonable demands.
Ban quickly took a shower and changed into dry clothes. His two younger brothers were already standing at the door waiting for him.
The Uchiha clan's everyday clothes all featured a large flame fan on the back. Since this was during the Warring States period, their clothing was still the more traditional type, such as kimonos.
Madara wore a dark blue shirt and light gray capri pants, with a pale purple silk belt around his waist, looking every bit the energetic young man. Izuna, standing beside him, was dressed similarly to Madara, clearly indicating they were brothers.
However, Yan Yi's clothes were not exactly the same as his two older brothers', but completely opposite. The older brothers doted on their younger brother, so they always used the best materials to make clothes for Yan Yi.
At this moment, Yan Yi was wearing a light gray kimono top with relatively loose sleeves adorned with light red sashes. A blue-gray sash was tied around her waist, with a red rope wrapped around it and tied into a neat bow at the front. She wore light gray-blue shorts with the cuffs rolled up several times, creating a somewhat cute, gathered look.
The only thing the three of them had in common was the wooden clogs they wore. These clogs had low soles, so Yan Yi could barely accept them.
Yan Yi was very pleased with his beautiful clothes, and also remembered how kind his brothers had been to him. However, this style always reminded him of a certain profession. If he added a top hat... wasn't this what Onmyoji (a type of Japanese sorcerer) dressed like?
"Hurry up, Madara-nii!" Izuna said, holding Yan Yi's hand, seemingly getting impatient.
Seeing his two younger brothers' adorable faces, Ban's mood improved considerably, as if all the fatigue from the morning's training had vanished.
"Alright, alright, I'm here~ Let's go!"
The three brothers left their house and headed towards the shopping street within the clan's territory.
During this period, each major clan fought its own battles, and only large clans like the Uchiha had relatively prosperous clan territories. You could buy almost anything you wanted within the clan's territory.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan recently won another victory and occupied a large new area, resulting in even more goods on this street.
As the three entered the street, many clansmen nodded and greeted them. The three children of the clan chief were all outstanding, and they all recognized Madara as the next successor to the clan chief; after all, his talent and strength were undeniable...
Yan Yi had actually been here many times, but this time the shopping street seemed much more bustling. There were many delicious shops as soon as you entered, though most of them offered simple snacks.
When they passed a dumpling shop, Yan Yi's eyes started to light up...
For some reason, even though he had eaten all kinds of delicious food in his previous life, theoretically there shouldn't be anything in this ninja world that he would find delicious. But this dumpling... really has magic.
Whether it's something ingrained in their blood or something else, Yan Yi, like a traditional Uchiha, loves sweets... especially these three-colored dumplings...
Although Izuna's eyes didn't light up as dramatically, the longing in them was still quite obvious.
"Brother...brother...Tuanzi..."
Yan Yi couldn't help but stop in his tracks. Ban smiled indulgently, seeing his younger brother practically drooling, and generously led the two of them over, one on each side.
"Two skewers of three-color dumplings, please... Huh? Sanqi, are you minding the shop today? Honestly, you're still the same as always..."
