It could be that she would have to live somewhere else soon.
"Sit down, Yumi. And you Fugaku, give the little one a chance, she's in a hard time now, she needs every support and above all affection. You know what Itachi told us. She lost her parents last night. Stell Something like that would happen to you in front of our children. "
"All right. I'll give the girl a chance, but if she causes trouble she has to leave immediately."
"She won't dad. She is very nice."
Sasuke had interfered and looked at his father with a serious expression. He just nodded in agreement.
"Now everyone please sit down and let's eat. Itachi will you help me distribute the food?"
Itachi's answer was just a response to what was asked. Without words, he helped his mother and then sat down too. Nobody said a sound during the meal. Every now and then someone glanced at Yumi curiously, but even Fugaku no longer looked hostile at her.Yumi could actually be quite satisfied. Everything seemed to be going well after all.
After the meal, Itachi was the first to get up from the seat. His eyes rested on Yumi. As if he wanted to say that she should follow him. She looked around questioningly. She didn't want to leave a bad impression at the beginning. Her new mother nodded to her. So it didn't matter that she got up now too. She accompanied Itachi out of the house. Maybe he wanted to show her the village?
"Yumi, if you don't mind I'll show you around a bit so that you can get to know the area a bit."
So she was correct in her guess. Yumi used the short walk to ask him a few questions. After all, everything was still uncharted territory for her.
"How is the academy like?"
"It's actually quite simple. Well, I was top of the class back then. You learn basic terms and basic techniques there. Something like that which can arise from shadow doubles, which I think will be very easy for you."
She was amazed. Why should that be easy for her? She had never used a jutsu before.
"How so?"
"Well, your clan specializes in shadow jutsu. It's in your genes, it's a Kekkei Genkai."
"But that doesn't have to mean anything, does it?"
"No, it doesn't have to. But it can."
They kept walking, again in silence. She looked around the area, tried to remember the paths. From time to time Itachi pointed to important buildings and explained a few things to her. This included, for example, the house of the Konoha police, whose director was none other than Fugaku Uchiha, the academy or the Hokage's workplace.
When they came back, dinner was already on the table. Yumi was greeted mostly in a friendly manner by everyone. Except for her new father. Still, he didn't seem dismissive. At first dinner seemed to be as silent as it was at noon. But Mikoto finally spoke up.
"Fugaku and I were wondering about you Yumi."
She looked up.
"We want to consider you as a family member. That means that your surname will be Uchiha as of today, at least for the public.
We would also like to ask you to call us mother and father. As long as you don't mind. "
"No mom."
Yumi smiled and got an equally soulful smile back. She was a very loving woman with gentle features. Like everyone in the family, she had dark hair, in her case black. It was long and reached mid-back. Yumi actually fit into this family quite well, she thought. After all, she also had black hair and her red eyes could be compared to the red of the Sharingan. Her father Fugaku had brown and relatively short hair, which nevertheless framed his face. His features were hard and severe, which made Yumi shudder from time to time. Out of the corner of her eye she saw that Itachi motioned for her to come along.Slowly she got up and followed him into his room. As an interim solution, a mattress was placed on the floor for her. She was about to move towards it, but her brother's words stopped her.
"You sleep in my bed and I sleep on the mattress."
He pointed to the right.
"There is the bathroom. Everything has been laid out for you. Tomorrow mother will go shopping with you too, so you don't always have to wear the same things."
"Thanks."
Yumi bowed slightly and went into the bathroom. It was a slightly larger room. She found an item of clothing hanging over the bathtub. It was a t-shirt, which was obviously too big for her, but it was good for the night. She washed quickly and then ran back to Itachi's room. This one had also already moved and passed her when she came in. Obviously he wanted to use the bathroom for himself now. During that time she snuggled into the blanket and lay on her back. Tomorrow she would get to know the others. She was curious how they would react to her. But at least Sasuke was there too. It sure wasn't going to be as bad as she thought. Again she didn't notice Itachi entering. She only saw him when he sat down next to her on the mattress and watched him lie down too. His gaze rested on her. She turned on her side and held out her hand to him. She gently stroked his cheek.
"Good night brother."
He smiled more than she was used to from him. He straightened up again and leaned over to her face to give her a little kiss on the forehead.
"Good night sister."
