6 Death of the Fourth Hokage (1/2)

At the shelter, Ren was waiting anxiously for Itachi because he hadn't shown up yet. Even though he knew Itachi would be safe as he was much stronger than him, he couldn't help but still worry. In Ren's eyes, Itachi wasn't some character who was one of his favorites anymore, but his real brother ever since he came to this world, therefore he couldn't help but continue to worry when he suddenly hears his name.

...

”Ren! You're safe, I was so worried” Itachi said while panting with Sasuke in his arms, it was clear he had just arrived. Then he continued as he saw Izumi holding his brother's short, ”Who's that?”

”I'm Izumi Uchiha, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your brother saving me”.

Ren was a little surprised as Izumi didn't show any signs of falling in love with Itachi.

...

A few hours later they were told the nine tails was suppressed at the cost of the fourth. Hearing this, everyone was filled with despair, but when the third Hokage stepped up and said he'd resume his position as Hokage temporarily, everyone was relieved, but still sad at the fourth's death.

Izumi who was holding onto Ren's shirt was gritting her teeth and started shaking at the mention of the nine tails.

Seeing this Ren suddenly, asked, ”Are you okay, Izumi?”.

Hearing Ren trying to reassure her, she nodded shyly while a blush came to her cheeks.

”Oh yeah, since you're an Uchiha how come I've never seen you?”. Although she was an Uchiha, Ren found it odd as he's never seen her in the Uchiha clan.
