Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 410 Heart Disease and One's Partner

"Heart disease?" Mikoto Uchiha's face turned pale.

The beautiful, bespectacled attending physician waved her hand: "Don't misunderstand, this illness isn't serious. As long as you take your medication on time and avoid strenuous exercise, it shouldn't have any major impact."

After saying that, the female doctor turned around and prepared to leave the ward.

Mikoto Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the doctor repeatedly.

Uchiha Sasuke took the prescription the doctor gave him and ran to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

Just as they finished buying the medicine, Mikoto and Fugaku were preparing to take Itachi Uchiha home from the hospital.

This time, being able to discover their son's problem ahead of time brought a sigh of relief to Mikoto and Fugaku.

This type of heart disease may not cause any problems in normal times, and may even never cause any physical problems. However, if it does develop, it may be too late.

Of course, Itachi Uchiha was not a person who was easily agitated.

In the original manga, Itachi Uchiha's poor health was actually due to a combination of factors, including the Mangekyou Sharingan and heart disease. However, if he had been taking medication to control it, there wouldn't have been any major problems.

In reality, many TV dramas and movies depict people suffering sudden heart attacks, taking medication immediately, and then seemingly recovering completely after a short while. This is actually nonsense.

The pain will still be there. These medications are more for prevention, ensuring you don't die quickly from the onset of the illness and allowing you to get to the hospital.

Given that Itachi Uchiha is a ninja and both of his parents are alive in this world, and most importantly, Sasuke is also by his side, theoretically, there should be no possibility that his Mangekyou Sharingan has been fully awakened.

Then the burden on his body will not be too great, so the premature death should no longer happen.

Of course. Nobody can predict the future. What if the Otsutsuki clan descends one day and causes trouble for the Uchiha clan?

Who can guarantee that?

It was already the second day after I left the hospital.

I definitely can't go to the Ninja Academy today, and the teachers at Hyuga Kindergarten aren't going to come out and give me the cold shoulder right now.

The family member has been diagnosed with heart disease. Although it's not a serious illness, you can't expect their child to go to school at this time.

(You know, back when I was in school, if a family member fell while working and needed a week to recover, I could ask for leave, and teachers usually agreed. Surely there aren't teachers who wouldn't approve leave for their students if a family member had an accident? Really?!)

Therefore, today, Itachi Uchiha is preparing to train with Sasuke Uchiha in shurikenjutsu or fire-style ninjutsu for a whole day.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at his older brother with some concern: "Are you really okay, brother? Your body..."

Itachi Uchiha laughed: "Don't worry, I might not even break a sweat teaching you ninjutsu."

Sasuke immediately pouted. This was such an underestimation!

In the afternoon, Sasuke handed Itachi some pills.

The weasel ate it with great joy.

The two brothers spent a wonderful day in harmony and affection.

That evening, Fugaku unusually went home.

As the saying goes, since the son of the Uchiha clan had a heart attack, even the most despicable elder of the Uchiha clan wouldn't give Fugaku a hard time at this moment. So, the family of four had a peaceful and happy dinner together.

The next day, when Sasuke returned home from kindergarten, he saw his father and mother kneeling in the house. Puzzled, Sasuke asked them, "Mom and Dad? What's wrong?"

Fugaku and Mikoto saw Sasuke. Mikoto felt a little embarrassed and guilty, but in the end, she coughed and waved to Sasuke, saying, "Go and train your shuriken and ninjutsu first. Your father and I are waiting for Itachi to return."

Sasuke blinked, left home, and walked along the road behind the Uchiha clan's territory. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Finally, he sneaked back.

And they hid behind the wall to eavesdrop.

Inside the inner room, Fugaku and Mikoto had already noticed Sasuke's arrival.

But Itachi was already kneeling in front of them, and it seemed a bit too much to not talk about serious matters at this point.

Fugaku coughed and looked at Itachi Uchiha with a serious expression: "Itachi, you are already 12 years old this year, which is not young anymore."

Uchiha Itachi looked at his father, thought for a moment, and nodded respectfully: "Yes, Father. Is there a problem?"

Fugaku looked at his son, blushed slightly, coughed, and then looked at Mikoto, saying, "Um, well, let your mother talk to you..."

Mikoto stared at Fugaku in disbelief, but Fugaku coughed twice and looked away.

Mikoto Uchiha glared at Fugaku through gritted teeth.

Taking a deep breath, Mikoto Uchiha said to her son, "Itachi, I want to ask you, what do you think about marriage?"

Uchiha Itachi was taken aback, then asked with a look of surprise, "Marriage? Me?!"

Mikoto Uchiha chuckled twice, then took a deep breath, nodded, and said to Itachi with a serious expression, "Someone... has proposed to me, and the target is you."

Itachi Uchiha was completely bewildered.

Outside the house, Sasuke looked puzzled: What is marriage? Is that stuff tasty?

Mikoto Uchiha looked at her son with an extremely serious expression.

Unexpectedly, after a brief moment of surprise, Itachi nodded to Mikoto Uchiha and said, "I understand, Mother. If it's what you want, I'm willing to accept it."

Mikoto Uchiha was taken aback, then looked at Itachi in surprise: "You, you're not going to ask which family she's from?"

Itachi Uchiha looked at his mother gently: "It's alright, I don't want to put Father and Mother in a difficult position."

Mikoto's eyes immediately turned red.

The fact that her son was so obedient only highlighted how terrible she, as a mother, was.

Mikoto wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked at Itachi with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, Itachi, I will definitely keep a close eye on things for you! If that girl isn't good enough for you in a few years, your mother will never let you marry her!"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and nodded, but he was somewhat puzzled.

He was just telling the truth.

He genuinely doesn't care who his future wife is; he simply doesn't care about such things...

Sasuke, standing outside the door, tilted his head, looking puzzled.

……

The next day, Hyuga Kindergarten:

Naruto, who always boasted about his father, also found it annoying to talk about the same thing every day.

So he found Sasuke.

After all... he wanted to bully Sasuke whenever he saw him.

"Hey! Sasuke, what's that look on your face...?"
