Chapter 106 Taking in
Chapter 106 Taking in
Mingluo and Indra sat opposite each other, with the small table in front of them filled with beautiful little cakes. They were carefully placed on blue and white porcelain plates and served in small glass containers, in an orderly and beautiful arrangement.
The smooth chocolate cake is topped with fresh strawberries and cocoa chips; there is soft vanilla pudding with a light milky aroma; and there are colorful macarons, each of which is like a small work of art. Different desserts are made with different ingredients, some are covered with a layer of dense cream, and some are sprinkled with shiny icing, which makes people salivate at the sight.
Indra's usually cold eyes were now shining, and he couldn't wait to try every dessert. The cake looked very tempting, covered with a layer of rich chocolate sauce and dotted with crystal clear chocolate chips. He took a bite gently, and the richness of the chocolate and the softness of the cake blended in his mouth, instantly conquering his taste buds.
His eyes narrowed into slits, his cheeks puffed up with satisfaction, as if the whole world had become beautiful. He enjoyed the sweetness one bite after another, completely immersed in the paradise of sugar.
"Haha~ Is it delicious?" Ming Luo's lips curled up into a smile. Dessert time, is it the most comfortable moment for him?
"Mingluo." Indra called out helplessly, pulled up her hand and squeezed it, expressing his dissatisfaction with his actions.
Ming Luo ate a big strawberry sundae, hooked her fingers around his palm, and healed his irritable mood. "Don't worry, Sasuke will make the most suitable choice. If you are still worried, you can give him some guidance."
"Inducement?" Indra stared at Mingluo without blinking, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he saw the naughty expression on her face as she licked the sundae. "I understand, but there are some things... should I mention to him?"
Even from Sasuke's perspective, that night was extremely absurd. Moreover, Uchiha Itachi's eyes at the end were not right. Even if it was a backstab, it seemed that there was something behind it.
Besides, it was not right for a 13-year-old boy to slaughter an entire clan. It was even more strange for such a big village to let him go. From what he knew, ninjas were extremely vigilant and would never make such a mistake.
"He's not stupid, he will figure it out slowly." There's just a mess between the brothers, and the child also needs to grow up.
"But he cannot be allowed to go home until he can protect himself." Indra was worried about this. What if the child insisted on going back?
Mingluo thought this was easy to solve. It would take some time to locate the child, and the child would grow up if we delayed. "Let's pack a small cake. If Sasuke still doesn't have an appetite, he can eat the cake."
"You can't skip the meal, cake is dessert." Indra went to pack the cake but refused to let the child skip the meal.
"Hahaha~ You sound just like my dad." Ming Luo couldn't help laughing. When she wanted to eat snacks instead of meals, her mother got very angry and started scolding her. Her father then gave her the snacks after dinner.
Indra's body froze, and he was inexplicably immersed in the story, as if Sasuke was their child. He held the little hand with a wandering gaze, quietly looking at Mingluo's profile, and felt his heart beating like a drum.
"So... is this your mom's point of view?"
Ming Luo simply shook her head. She had a child's point of view. "It doesn't matter if it's a meal or a snack, as long as it's edible."
The air was silent for a moment, and Indra dragged away the unromantic woman.
【Fool. 】
But as they walked, he stopped being angry. Mingluo was talking about the store opening, and the two of them chatted until they went downstairs. He liked this feeling very much and wanted to accompany her until the moment his life stopped.
When I got home, Sasuke had already woken up. His eyes were dull and he didn't talk much. There were many wooden toys in the living room, which I think were made by Ashura to entertain the children.
"Asura, clean these up." Ming Luo calmly instructed her stupid brother not to treat Sasuke as a childish kid from the Ninja Clan.
"Oh." Ashura breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally very popular with children, but he had no way to deal with Sasuke.
Indra used his shadow clone to cook, and sat opposite Sasuke with Mingluo, telling him the choice he could make now. If Sasuke wanted to become a ninja, he could be sent to the Uchiha clan of the Warring States period.
"If you want to go home, you have to stay here temporarily. It will take time to send you back." Indra knew that he would definitely choose this. Staying with him would not teach him the ninja skills. "I know a lot of different things. It depends on what you like and what you can learn."
Sasuke naturally wanted to go home, but going to the Warring States period to study was quite tempting. He looked at Indra, wondering what he could do and how strong he was.
Looking directly at the scarlet three magatama, he was caught in the illusion. He was shown several breathing techniques to kill demons, and seeing those ugly monsters being beheaded with a single blow made his blood boil.
The scene changed to the sea, and he saw Indra fighting against the powerful creature again, this time using ninjutsu, taijutsu, swordsmanship, illusion, and the demon-like Susanoo!
"So strong!" Should I say, he is worthy of being a person who travels through time and space?
Sasuke felt his scalp tingling and his fingers trembling slightly. He also wanted to become that powerful. "I want to stay and go home directly when the time comes."
Indra dispersed the illusion, squatted down and looked Sasuke in the eye, and told him seriously who was the one who made the decision on the team. "Then you have to get Mingluo's approval."
"Then...what should I do?" Sasuke frowned and his claws were numb. He had only thought about gaining his father's approval.
"As a member of the team, you can't eat for free." The foxes and big cats at home have to work, at least they have to take care of themselves and contribute to the team. "Considering your strength, you should know how to hide when you encounter dangers that you cannot overcome. The most important thing is to trust Mingluo's decision. It doesn't matter if you can't do it now, but you have to have this awareness."
"I can." Sasuke knew that if he stayed he would have to rely on others for support. He didn't want to live under someone else's roof, so he would naturally do what he could.
"Also...you can't tell anyone about our affairs."
"I won't." Sasuke assured more carefully. How could he betray his people?
"Then I'll talk to Mingluo." Indra removed the illusion, and only a few seconds passed outside.
Indra stood up and sat next to Sasuke, patting his thin back and pushing him so that he was facing Mingluo. "Mingluo, I plan to take him as my apprentice. Can he travel with us before he finishes his studies and returns home?"
"I can take care of myself and do the work." Sasuke stood up straight. Indra said that she didn't like being bowed to. His cat eyes looked at Mingluo steadily, telling his determination.
Seeing Sasuke selling himself out so lively, Mingluo almost blurted out "Good, very energetic." "Actually... it's better for kids to go home. It's dangerous outside."
"I can do it." Sasuke felt looked down upon, but there was no point in saying anything. He had to stay and learn Indra's skills.
Mingluo smiled lightly, the teasing in her eyes would be interpreted by Uchiha as a provocation: "I'll wait and see."
"Just wait!" Sasuke was so excited that his hair stood on end. He would definitely impress this woman.
Indra: Alas, children are easily fooled.
