This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

At Artoria's reminder, Itachi suppressed the impulse in his heart and slowed down.

Sprinting nimbly along the eaves, his figure landed at the door of the hospital amidst the surprised gazes of many medical staff and patients in the hospital.

"Remember your mother's hospital room?"

Artoria landed right after Itachi.

"certainly."

Itachi nodded calmly, using his eyes and gestures to apologize to the patients next to him who were affected by their rest.

Immediately afterwards, his steps barely slowed down and he walked into the hospital.

Since entering the period of expecting childbirth, Uchiha Mikoto has been waiting in the hospital, and Itachi also visited several times during this period.

Originally, he wanted to take leave directly to accompany his father, but there was a possibility of giving birth within a month of the due date, so Fugaku rejected his proposal and let him go to school peacefully.

Fugaku himself took a month's leave and stayed with him throughout the whole process.

From this, Itachi could see that although his father looked serious and indifferent to his mother on the surface, he really cared about her in his heart.

When Itachi arrived outside the delivery room where his mother was staying, the door was already closed.

And his father was talking to Namikaze Minato in the corridor.

But his father's expression was not as good as Hui said.

On the contrary, his face looked very expectant, completely devoid of his usual rigidity, just like the day when the two Hokages, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen, came to visit him.

It is this different demeanor that gives people a great sense of dissonance.

"Itachi, why are you here?"

When Itachi approached the delivery room, Fugaku and Minato noticed it immediately.

Fugaku seemed very doubtful that he could come over because he didn't send anyone to notify Itachi.

"Hui saw you in a hurry in the hospital and wondered if your brother was about to be born, so he notified me to come and take a look when he went back."

Itachi explained, and then politely called Yondaime-sama to Namikaze Minato.

"You don't have to be so polite. I'm here to congratulate you as your father's friend. Just call me Uncle Minato."

Namikaze Minato seemed very easy-going, and then looked at Fugaku, "Originally, Kushina planned to come over today, but she is also pregnant."

"Compared to Mikoto, she has little experience in this area. She had heard that giving birth was very painful and dangerous, so she stayed at home in fear all day long."

"So I was afraid that she would be more affected when she saw the scene, so I didn't let her come over."

In response to this, Fugaku's face showed an expression of experience, "When Mikoto was pregnant with Itachi, she was also scared and stayed at home all day long without daring to go out."

"But in fact, with our medical level in Konoha and the physical fitness of the ninjas, we don't need to worry too much at all."

"This time when I'm pregnant with Sasuke, she walks around with her belly bulging out every day. If you go back and explain this to Kushina, she will definitely not be afraid anymore."

Namikaze Minato carefully wrote down Fugaku's experience.

"But speaking of which, are you sure it's a boy? Have you decided on a name?"

Soon, Fugaku mentioned Minato's child again, "What a pity. I was thinking that if it was a girl, we might be able to get married."

"It's already confirmed that it's a boy, but if things go well, I hope to have a daughter in the future."

Namikaze Minato also seemed a little regretful about not being able to kiss him, "As for the name..."

"I'm thinking of naming it after the protagonist in Jiraiya-sensei's novel, Naruto."

Fugaku murmured, "Naruto, that's a good name..."

The two have known each other for a long time and exchanged experiences of being fathers together.

But Itachi was beside him, he didn't speak, he just sat quietly.

However, he still paid attention to the name Naruto.

It seems that Mrs. Namikaze is expecting her baby this year, which means that Sasuke and Naruto will be the same age in the future.

According to the current friendly relationship between his family and the Namikaze family, in the future, the two of them will inevitably enter the ninja exam as students at the same time, and they may even be rivals before enrolling.

"Sasuke, you can't lose to Naruto in the future."

Staring at the closed door of the delivery room with expectant eyes, Itachi thought in his mind.

And a very special emotion welled up from the bottom of his heart.

When this emotion was unconsciously revealed on his face, he actually raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Are you... laughing? Itachi."

Next to her, Artoria was greatly surprised. She heard Itachi's heartfelt words just now in her mind.

She also saw the change in Itachi's expression.

Although Itachi would reveal his emotions from time to time when communicating with himself, he always maintained a calm expression on the surface.

But I didn't expect...he actually broke through today!

"Um?"

The expression on Itachi's face quickly faded, and his eyes became confused.

Smile?

I actually laughed unconsciously...

Itachi has a very strong learning ability. If you really want to imitate someone else's smile, you can certainly do it.

Although his demeanor will be a little stiffer.

And he had never tried this kind of smile that came from the heart.

However, Itachi didn't have any extra thoughts to think about this matter now.

Now he only hopes that his younger brother named Uchiha Sasuke will be born smoothly.

Itachi's nervousness also infected Artoria next to him.

She also felt this scene carefully.

When she was a king in the past, Artoria had of course seen some scenes of children being born, but not as detailed as this time. She almost witnessed the process of a newborn baby coming from scratch.

This kind of knowledge is novel to her.

For the next time, Itachi, Artoria, Fugaku, and Minato waited quietly outside the delivery room.

Although at the beginning, Fugaku looked very experienced and imparted some advice to Minato as a "experienced person".

But in fact, as time slowly passed and there was no movement in the delivery room, Fugaku gradually became a little anxious and was not that attentive to Minato's conversation.

Minato also noticed his emotions and didn't bother him anymore.

"Whoaaah!"

Finally, when a loud cry came from the delivery room, both Itachi and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations."

Minato once again sent his congratulations at the right time.

Fugaku smiled stiffly, his face full of anticipation for his second son.

"Mr. Fugaku, please prepare a little and then you can come in for a visit."

After waiting expectantly at the door for a while, a medical ninja wearing a mask came out of the delivery room.

After seeing Namikaze Minato at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully called Yondaime-sama.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Namikaze Minato greeted him very kindly.

"Thanks."

Fugaku also thanked him from the side.

As for Itachi, he could not wait to stand at the door and look inside, wanting to see what his brother looked like.

Next to him, Artoria's face was also full of curiosity and expectation.
