Chapter 4: Chapter:4 Miss Yaoyorozu
The car stopped in the center of the driveway, and the driver once again opened the door for Yana. She carefully took Itachi in her arms as Erika followed behind, carrying their belongings. As they stepped inside, Itachi noticed several staff members bowing respectfully.
The mansion itself was luxurious, with grand halls and intricate decor. There were five maids, one butler, and a chef—all of whom greeted Yana and Itachi with deference.
As Yana and Itachi entered the mansion, the staff warmly welcomed them, saying, "Welcome, Miss Yaoyorozu, and to the new little member." Yana nodded graciously and sat on the sofa, holding Itachi in her arms. The maids, seeing the baby, murmured amongst themselves, "Ah, he's so cute! He looks just like Miss Yaoyorozu."
Some of the maids even brought out toys, trying to get Itachi's attention. He couldn't help but sweatdrop, thinking, I suppose it's normal for them to act this way since I'm just a newborn. Yana smiled at him fondly and said, "He's a little grumpy, isn't he?" The maids giggled at her comment, and as Itachi gave a small smile in response, one of the maids exclaimed, "Ah, he laughed! He's even cuter now!"
Yana, seeing Itachi smile, called over Erika and said, "Ichikawa-san, please take care of my baby." Erika smiled warmly, bowing respectfully, "Of course, Miss Yaoyorozu. I'll take good care of him."
Erika gently took Itachi into her arms, and as she did, Yana instructed, "Ichikawa-san, can you take him to his room and make sure he sleeps? If he cries, bring him to my room. Understood?"
Before Erika could respond, the butler, Joe, entered the room. He was an older man, around 70, with a kind and respectful demeanor. "Mrs. Yaoyorozu, there was a meeting scheduled, but I've postponed it to next week."
Yana nodded gratefully, "Great job, Joe."
Joe glanced at Itachi and remarked with a smile, "This child looks just like you, Mrs. Yaoyorozu."
Yana smiled softly, "Yes, he does." Joe continued, "I have no doubt that he will elevate the Yaoyorozu name to new heights."
With a proud smile, Yana patted Itachi's head and said, "I know he will." Itachi, now feeling drowsy, thought, This baby's body is so weak and lacks stamina... His eyelids grew heavy as sleep overtook him.
Erika noticed this and said, "Ma'am, may I take him to his room? He seems quite sleepy."
Yana looked at her son, now asleep in Erika's arms, and couldn't help but gush, "Ah, he looks so cute!" Realizing everyone was watching, she cleared her throat and said more calmly, "Ichikawa-san, take him to his room."
Erika nodded and took Itachi to his room, gently placing him in the cradle. She sat in front of him, watching him with a smile.
In the middle of the night, Itachi woke up, feeling hunger gnawing at him. I'm hungry... he thought, realizing there was no one around to help. As a newborn, he knew his only option was to cry for food, and so, reluctantly, he began to cry. Moments later, Erika quickly entered his room. She's fast, Itachi thought, a little surprised at her speed.
With a gentle smile, Erika picked him up and said softly, "You must be hungry, right on time according to my calculations." She cradled him carefully and carried him to Yana's room. After knocking, she heard Yana's voice call, "Come in."
Yana saw Itachi crying and immediately understood. "He's hungry, isn't he?" she asked, her smile warm as always.
"Yes, Miss Yaoyorozu," Erika replied with a respectful bow. "He's hungry."
Yana nodded, reaching out for her son. "Give him to me, I'll feed him."
Erika handed Itachi over, and Yana began to breastfeed him. Not long after, Takashi entered the room, catching sight of Yana feeding Itachi while Erika stood by. With a smile, he said, "Looks like my boy was hungry." Yana looked up at him and returned the smile. "Welcome back, Takashi."
The maid bowed politely and then left the room. Takashi glanced back at his wife and child, then said, "I'll go change." He disappeared into the bathroom, emerging a few minutes later in casual clothes. By this time, Itachi had finished feeding and was lying contentedly in Yana's arms, his hunger satisfied.
As Yana played with Itachi, he simply stared back at her, inwardly thinking, I need to grow up fast... Meanwhile, Takashi approached them, smiling as he took Itachi into his arms. "He looks just like you, Yana."
Yana chuckled softly. "And he'll be just as intelligent as me, too."
Takashi sweatdropped at the comment, but played along. "Sure..." Then, more seriously, he asked, "But do you think he'll inherit your quirk?"
Yana fell silent for a moment. "Is it really the time for that, Takashi? He's just been born," she replied, her tone calm but slightly exasperated.
"I know," Takashi said, handing Itachi back to Yana. "I just want him to be strong and become a hero. To do that, he'll need to inherit our quirks. You understand, right?"
Yana nodded quietly, though her expression had shifted slightly. Itachi could feel the tension in the air, and inwardly sighed. This hunger for power... he thought.
Breaking the silence, Yana called out, "Ichikawa-san."
Erika promptly opened the door, bowing politely as she entered. "Yes, Miss Yaoyorozu?"
Yana handed Itachi over to Erika and said, "He's sleepy now. Take him to his room and put him to bed."
With a nod, Erika took Itachi and carried him back to his room, gently placing him in the cradle. As the night's events replayed in Itachi's mind, his baby body once again surrendered to sleep.
Timeskip for 1 years:
One year had passed since Itachi's reincarnation, and in that time, he had grown accustomed to his new life as Itachi Yaoyorozu. He was now a healthy toddler, and today was a big day for him — he was attempting to walk for the first time.
