now much more aware of his surroundings and abilities, looked at his mother and the maid, a small sweatdrop forming in his mind. This body is still so unstable... he thought, slightly frustrated by the physical limitations he was not used to in his previous life.
His tiny legs trembled as he pushed himself off the floor, gripping the nearby sofa for balance. He let out a soft grunt as he focused all his energy on standing upright. His black eyes, which still held the sharpness of his past self, were locked onto Yana.
"That's it, Itachi," Yana encouraged warmly, her eyes gleaming with pride. "You're doing so well."
Erika clapped her hands gently. "Just a little more! You're almost there!"
Itachi, feeling their encouragement, took a shaky step forward. His small foot landed unsteadily, but he kept his focus. Then another step. Walking... he mused inwardly. It's such a simple task, yet this body makes it feel like an obstacle.
Yana's sm she looked down at him with a gleam of excitement in her eyes. She gently stroked his hair and said softly, "Now, can you try to say 'ma-ma,' Itachi?"
Itachi, still adjusting to the limitations of his small, young body, blinked and stared up at his mother. His mind, still sharp and calculating as ever, understood the importance of language in this new life. Though he had full knowledge of speech from his past, he was aware that, in this body, he had to learn it all over again.
I suppose this is necessary, Itachi thought inwardly with a slight sweatdrop, knowing it was a significant moment for Yana. He took a breath, focusing on the words his mother wanted to hear. "M-Ma..." His voice came out soft and stammering, a little unsteady as he tried to form the syllables with his still-developing vocal cords.
Yana's eyes widened, filled with hope and encouragement. "Yes, Itachi, go on!"
Itachi took another breath, gathering his strength and determination. "Ma...ma."
The moment the word left his lips, Yana's eyes filled with happy tears. She gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief, and then, unable to contain her emotions, she pulled Itachi into a warm, tight embrace. "You did it! You said it, my baby!" Her voice was filled with joy and pride.
Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at her son, a mix of happiness and overwhelming love washing over her. She kissed the top of his head softly, whispering, "I'm so proud of you, Itachi."
Itachi, still nestled in her arms, felt the warmth of her embrace and the love that radiated from her. Despite his composed and stoic nature from his past life, something about Yana's genuine affection stirred a deep sense of peace within him. This... feels nice, he thought, closing his eyes for a moment, allowing himself to feel the purity of a mother's love in this new world.
Erika, who had been watching from nearby, couldn't help but smile brightly. "Young master, you're truly amazing!" she said softly, her voice filled with admiration.
Yana, still holding Itachi close, wiped her tears away with a gentle laugh. "He's growing up so fast... I can't believe it."
Itachi opened his eyes again, observing his mother's happiness. In my previous life, I never got to see Mikoto this happy, he reflected with a hint of sadness. But here, I'll do my best to protect this happiness.
Yana's smile widened as Itachi inched closer. "Come on, Itachi. I'm right here."
Finally, with one last determined step, Itachi reached his mother. He practically fell into Yana's arms, but Yana caught him with a soft laugh, hugging him gently.
"You did it!" Yana said, joy evident in her voice. "My little boy is growing so fast."
Erika clapped more enthusiastically now. "That was amazing, young master! I knew you could do it!"
Itachi looked up at Yana with a smile, then tried to speak again, "M-Maa... maa..." His voice was still delicate and childlike, but the effort was clear in his determined eyes.
Yana's heart swelled with pride as she saw his persistence. "What is it, Itachi?" she asked gently, her smile radiant.
Itachi gestured toward his stomach, the universal sign of hunger.
Yana's eyes softened with understanding. "Oh, I see. You're hungry." She stood up, holding Itachi securely, and turned to Erika. "Ichikawa, could you prepare some food for Itachi? He must be hungry after all that effort."
"Right away, Miss Yaoyorozu," Erika responded with a warm smile and hurried off to the kitchen.
Itachi could hear Erika returning shortly with the scent of mashed fruits wafting into the room. Erika approached, holding a small bowl and a spoon. "Here we are, young master. A little reward for all your hard work," she said cheerfully, offering the food to Yana.
Yana took the spoon and carefully fed Itachi. As he ate, he let his thoughts drift. I may be young now, but soon... I'll grow stronger again, he mused, reflecting on the quirk activation he had heard about. I heard that quirks are activated around the age of four. It will be a new challenge, but I'm ready.
With each spoonful of the mashed fruits, Itachi felt his strength returning. The room was filled with a comforting atmosphere as Yana and Erika watched him with affection. Despite his small size and current helplessness, Itachi's resolve remained unwavering. He knew that this life offered him a chance to embrace a new destiny and protect those he cared about.
As he finished his meal, he looked up at Yana with a satisfied grin. Yana smiled back, her eyes filled with love and hope for her son's future. "You did great today, Itachi," she said softly, patting his head gently.
Erika, observing the moment, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her duties. "He's growing up so well," she said with a smile, watching Itachi's contented expression.
