Reincarnated as Izumi Uchiha

23- Dinner at the Main House

Izumi's POV:

We all eventually finished off the enemy shinobi and killed the federal and his family. We went back to the leaf and by then, it was already nighttime. I planned to go straight to home after reporting back to Minato but since my parents weren't back yet, Shisui and Itachi (surprisingly) dragged me to the main house to have dinner with them. I tried to refuse since I wanted to try out a new recipe which was making spaghetti but when they heard, they made me come and cook it at the main house since it coincidentally had the necessary ingredients. But I think they're lying since there's no way they had the time to learn how to cook when they both spend a majority of their free time training, hanging out or training Sasuke who is now 5 years old. I haven't seen duckbutt-chan for about 2-3 years do you think he still remembers me? 'Most likely not. You didn't interact with him much other than babysitting him when you had nothing to do.' True.

I stopped babysitting the boy when Mikoto decided to just bring him with her whenever she went out, not wanting to bother me anymore. Usually to the market or to the park to let him play in the sandbox. Eventually, she stopped since Sasuke slowly matured and wanted to stay home to avoid fangirls. From what I heard from Itachi, Sasuke has started idolizing him and literally tried to copy everything he does. Fugaku tried to teach him the fireball and unlike Itachi, Sasuke only managed to get a small flame out of his mouth on his first try. Since then, Sasuke was left in Itachi's shadow and was constantly compared to him. Even though the boy was jealous of Itachi, he never hated the one who he idolizes and loved the most.

Anyway when I got to the main house, I was greeted by Mikoto. "Oh? What a surprise! I didn't know we were getting a visitor," Mikoto said pleasantly surprised. I bowed my head a bit, "It's been a while, Mikoto-sama. Shisui and your son dragged me here." I looked at the 2 boys while deadpanning who just went inside after greeting Mikoto. Real mature guys. Real mature. Mew was laughing. "Mou~ Izumi-chan! Just call me Mikoto or mom! Didn't I tell you that?" I looked back to Mikoto while signing, "That would be improper to call the matriarch like that also I'm already used to it." She pouted which I paid no attention to and went inside while taking off my sandals.

I want to leave already. 'I feel the same.' I went to the living room where Itachi and Shisui were hanging out, Sasuke was no where in sight. I couldn't sense him in his room but sensed him outside while noticing his chakra reserves were decreasing bit by bit but not to a level of near death. Is he practicing the fireball jutsu? 'Want me to take a look?' If you don't mind then yes. I summoned Mew under the table who went invisible and went outside.

"We had a guest?" I heard from behind. I turned around to see Fugaku looking at me. Did he see you? 'Most likely not, I have no presence and I went invisible immediately. As for your hand signs he might've.' I guess I can play it off as practicing my hand signs then. Fugaku was still staring into my eyes while I stared right back cooly. "Who invited you?" I pointed at Shisui and Itachi. "We decided to drag her here to eat dinner with us after finishing a mission." Itachi explained while Shisui nodded with him. This was normal from the hyper Uchiha because if there's one person he fears in the present time, it would have to be Fugaku.

Itachi turned to me, "You can go cook whatever your new recipe is." I nodded and stood up from my seat. I walked to the kitchen and saw Mikoto already cooking. I tapped on her shoulder to get her attention, "Allow me to help." She smiled gratefully and thanked me then started ranting about her family's inability to cook. "So glad you can help me cook! None of the boys even know how to cook with Itachi as an exception but his perfectioness behavior makes him waste so much ingredients!"

I could tell boys except for Sasuke heard because I heard them anime fall. I patted Mikoto's head to reassure her that I knew how to cook and was there to help. "If only you were my daughter!!" She squealed before hugging me tightly. I only patted her back and waited for the woman to release her hold on me, after a few seconds, she pulled away. "Now that I think about it, why don't you become my daughter-in-law?!" She asked excitingly while I gave her a thumbs down. "Awh, why not? Itachi's not bad. He's what people would consider perfect so why don't you like him?"
