Chapter 87: Bad Piggy and Grandparent's traumatic talk.
[3rd POV]
The boar glared at the children with anger. The beast was the strongest creature in the forest. At the start of the year, it discovered this cave and chose it as its home. This morning, the boar left to look for food, and now it returns home to find intruders desecrating it! Naturally, it's going to be mad.
The boar charged while its vision dyed red with anger: "Run away!"Izumi screamed, and the six Uchiha scattered in separate directions.
"Quickly, everyone over here!" Hana called out and climbed on top of a tree. The rest of the children ran to Hana while she helped everyone up.
"Help me!" Akari cried because she couldn't get to Hana in time, and the boar was catching up to her.
The rest of the children wanted to rescue Akari but were too scared. Seeing this, Eri steeled herself and left the tree: "Eri!" The rest of the children screamed with worry.
Eri bent down and made a snowball and she threw it at the boar. The snowball struck the boar in the rear, stopping: "Over here, you fat piggy!" Eri shouted.
The boar doesn't understand what the little girl says. However, judging from the tone, it could tell that it was being mocked. The animal screeched with rage and immediately switched targets.
Eri took a deep breath while the boar dashed towards her. At the last moment, she dodged and the animal smashed into a huge rock. The boulder shattered into pieces as the beast was briefly disorientated. Eri tried to get back on her two feet, but the boar was already upon her and it glared fiercely at Eri.
The other children threw rocks at the animal to distract it. Unfortunately, it was too angry to notice their futile attempt. The boar trotted slowly towards Eri as her body was too petrified to move. She closed her eyes in fear and she clutched the pendant, awaiting her fate.
However, the pain never came as eventually she opened her eyes and saw a figure holding the boar by the tusks. The boar struggled to break free, but the person wouldn't budge and the animal was firmly held in place.
"Kaede!" The young Uchihas yelled with relief as their big sister arrived to save the day. Kaede smiled before putting her attention on the animal.
Electricity crackled around her as she lifted the beast into the air and tossed it across the clearing. The boar landed with a thud and it gradually recovered, wary of its new enemy.
Kaede used her Kamui and took out a naginata. With the spear, she drew a line on the ground: "Pig-san, please leave. This will be your last warning...."
The boar watched with alert; its instinct told it to run away as fast as possible. The human in front of it doesn't feel like a human. Instead, it gave the aura of a dragon. When the animal was not backing down, Kaede summoned the first phase of Susanoo, and a gigantic purple skeleton appeared. The Susanoo roared, and the beast felt the monster's glowing yellow eyes staring into its soul.
Immediately the boar screeched in fear as it sped away with its tail tucked between its legs: OINK OINK OINK! (I will let you go scoff-free this time!)."
Kaede deactivated her Susanoo, and the children hugged her waist. They were on the verge of tears as the experience was too terrifying. Thankfully, Kaede used her big brother's ultimate secret technique, the One Thousand Head Pat Jutsu, and the six Uchiha soon calmed down. All the children apologized for leaving the house. Kaede waved off the apology and escorted them back.
Akari thanked Eri and called her a hero. Eri felt embarrassed, but she was blooming with joy in her heart. When they returned, Kaede quietly took the six children to clean the dirt off themselves and return to the dining room for lunch.

'Phew!'
Thank goodness I got there in time. When I couldn't find Eri and the others, I thought they must have brought her to the secret hideout. In the end, I decided not to tell the adults about the incident, which the children were very grateful for.
When the entire family finished eating, we spent the rest of the afternoon catching up with my family. This time I didn't let the children leave my sight. One interesting thing was that the children were in awe of Eri's show of bravery, and they subconsciously agreed for Eri to be the leader of the group.
Before we knew it, the sun had set, and its time for all of us to go. However, Obaa-chan and Ojii-chan told my family to stay longer because they wanted to talk privately with my little sister.
But first, apparently, they wanted to see me as well. So I carried a tray of tea cups and a kettle as I entered their room. I set the tray down and poured them each a cup of tea. My grandparents smiled and gestured for me to sit across from them.
"Kaede, your father, will never tell us, so we wanted to know, how's your love life going?" They asked shamelessly.
I choked on my tea and blushed. My body flinched and I squirmed as I subconsciously touched my neck...
I glanced up and saw my grandparents watching with amusement. I averted their piercing gaze and cleared my throat: "It's going well…." I muttered shyly.
"Please, tell us all about it." Obaa-chan insisted.
My friends' constant prying about my relationship with Shoto was nothing compared to what's happening now. My grandparents wanted to know everything thing, and I mean everything! Let me just really empathize with the word everything! That's how much they wanted to know, and I felt my dignity had taken a massive hit today…
"Haha, that Shoto seems like a very good person," Obaa-chan laughed, "By the way, Kaede, have you received 'The Talk' yet?"
"The..... Talk?..." Hearing the words, I felt a slight unease.
"Hmmmmm, I see, very well, it's best if you learn it early before something bad happens," Obaa-san said with excitement.
They then talked about some things about boys that I wished I never knew, and worse, they even used their own love life and experiences as an example!
And that day, my life was never the same...
[3rd Pov]
Eri, nervously waiting outside the door, was finally called to enter the room. When she went in, Eri saw the lifeless body of Kaede, who was vomiting blood. While Kenji and Akira were chuckling merrily.
"Ah, Eri, come sit on your grandmother's lap." Akira cheerfully said.
Eri glanced at her sister, and her grandparents laughed: "Don't worry about Kaede. We just had a fun conversation, that's all."
But Kaede's dead fish eyes said otherwise. Eri obliged and sat on Akira's lap. Kenji then offered her a piece of candy. Eri excitedly took the treat and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Did you have fun today? I hope anyone wasn't treating you harshly?" Akira asked as she stroked Eri's hair.
Eri shook her head in response: "Everyone was nice, and I had so much fun today!"
"That's good to hear." Kenji nodded.
While Akira and Kenji listened patiently, Eri continued to talk about her time with the other children As time passed, Eri started to get tired and she tried her best not to fall asleep. Kenji and Akira decided to stop as they called Kaede to take Eri away. Kaede dejectedly stood up and brought Eri out of the room like a puppet.
Back on the train…..
[Kaede POV]
I have finally returned to my usual self but still feel goosebumps about what I learned: "Shoto and Me... Doing that...." I muttered. Just the thought of it got me blushing hard.
"Kaede, what's wrong?" Itachi-onii-chan asked.
"Um, Nope! No...Nothing! Don't worry about it!" I yelped with a red face
'Obaa-chan, Ojii-chan, why!!!!!!!!!!!!' I screamed in my head.
