"Ugh, do you have mochi, uncle Tachi?"
"You're father said only one each day."
"Since when do you listen to that mutt?"
"..." Itachi pursed his lips and looked away, and she instantly knew she was getting to him.
Sora would get anything she wanted.
"I don't, but...That 'mutt' is not only your father but also my brother.
"Hn!" She huffed and crossed her arms, having just almost convinced the elder Uchiha had he not actually learned to care and respect for his brother in law.
Her frown decreased just the slightest when a sudden question came to mind. She once again called for her uncles attention, to which he obliged with a smile.
"Do you know where mommy is?" She sniffed. "I haven't seen her all day and thats kinda weird when she doesn't have a mission."
"Ah..." He swallowed thickly, wondering how exactly he would tell a three year old that his Aneki was visiting the cemetery, as it was the anniversary of the day her team died, and that it was likely her mother would be unresponsive for the entire day.
This happened each year, and despite having been forgiven by her teammates the guilt was still there. Itachi hated to admit it, but no matter what, his Aneki would always blame herself.
Thats just how she is.
Itachi also wished he was next to her instead of Kakashi, though he couldn't help but acknowledge that Kakashi was the only one she'd still fully let out her feelings to.
Obviously, it hurt. But he would just shrug it off.
Looking at his niece with a smile, Itachi could only hope that this time he'd be able to comfort her whenever she wanted. If he couldn't do it for his Aneki, that maybe he could for Sora.
"Well anyways, can you finally start teaching me how to use my kekkei genkai?!"
"Hm?" He sweatdropped. In truth, his elder sister had given him (And everyone else) specific orders not to help her with the ability. In her opinion, her daughter shouldn't start until the age of at least ten, but knowing how restless Sora was, she'd most definitely start at half that age.
"Well..." He brought his fingers up to tap her forehead. "Maybe next time."
'No! Now!"

"You okay...?" Kakashi grunted and wrapped his arm around her waist, helping her stand.
Nakano nodded, her gaze focused solely on the KIA stone in front of her. Of course she wasn't okay, that was obvious. But it's not like she was depressed...Completely.
