The Secret of My Life
Chapter 16's

Itachi followed Sasuke until near Naruto's house. He wanted to know where the blonde lived. It was not far from his home. Perhaps the young man did not know where he lived after marriage. If he knew, he would definitely not choose to live in this city.

Seeing the frantic reaction of his ex-lover when he met him earlier, Itachi thought that it was so great that he made a mistake until Naruto saw it as a disaster.

He knew he was to blame for what Naruto was going through. Itachi heard from his father that Minato forced his son to live abroad after the Namikaze family cut ties with the Uchiha— family.

Why should I go far? Is it because of fear that Namikaze's successor can't move on? Many questions were in his head until it felt like he wanted to directly ask, but he who decided to live as an ordinary person who had a wife and child did not want to bother Naruto anymore.

If you can find a justification, it is not entirely willing Itachi to make Naruto hurt. Their relationship does look sweet—outside. In it they had a lot of bitterness, especially what he should think about in the future. He loves even if he is not approved. If only his mother and father had not planned until he had impregnated Hinata, Itachi might still have wanted to move forward. That's POSSIBLE. He who impregnates someone when he has a lover is still a bastard.

He finally resigned. Perhaps indeed his duties as the firstborn should make a successor for the Uchiha family.

"What about Sasuke? Will he repeat the same tragedy?" Itachi wondered what his sister would do if she faced the same thing.

***

At the main house of the Uchiha family in Mukojima, Fugaku, Mikoto, Hinata and little Ryuuto are gathering in the backyard to prepare a barbecue event this Christmas night. They had just arrived from the hospital to pick up Fugaku who had recovered from his waist pain.

Mikoto was holding Ryuuto who was playing peek a boo with Fugaku. He saw his son-in-law with some servants preparing a barbecue menu.

"Itachi so here Hinata?"

"Said Itachi-kun after his affairs are done he will come here. Seeing this clock hasn't arrived yet, it looks like he'll be late." Obviously Uchiha's eldest wife.

"He was always busy. You and Ryuuto are fine being left behind?"

Mikoto nodded. Then he's relieved. At least his eldest son was being kind to Hinata and their son. His decision to set them up was correct. He did not want his son to bear the shame of continuing a relationship with a man and ultimately had no children.

"Oh oh, Ryuu-chan laughed hahaha." Fugaku laughed proudly to make his only grandson he was proud of filled with laughter.

"Ryuu-chan is so sweet!" Mikoto was also fond of Ryuuto's smile. "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask how Ryuu's examination was, all right?" He looked back at the daughter-in-law who had sat with them in the chair that had been provided.

Hinata smiles. "Everything's fine, ma'am, just maybe he'll be a little slow to talk."

"If it's not a problem. Itachi used to be a year old when he was instantly smart to talk so, it's possible that Ryuu-chan was also so at the age of one year." Said Fugaku proud to remember the development of his firstborn as a baby.

"Yes it's true." Mikoto nodded her head looking at Hinata with a reassuring look.

"I'm not worried about Ryuuto's development because he's only going to be 7 months." Hinata kalem. "By the way Mom, when I was done checking Ryuu, I accidentally saw Sasuke-kun with a young blonde and a beautiful woman in red. Are they relatives or close friends of our family?" Ask Hinata. He only sees Sasuke with Kushina and Naruto while Sei escapes his sight.

This time the couple looked at their son-in-law with shocked expressions. Afterwards they looked at each other and discussed with eyes what answer they should give. Namikaze's family are no longer close family friends. Maybe they could be called enemies now.

"Hinata, the young man you saw was probably Itachi's ex before marrying you."

"So that's Naruto-kun?"

"It looks like it is."

"Oh."
