Three-Tomoe Sharingan Beneath the Setting Sun, a Child with a Mother Is Treasured

"Sorry, sorry, my fault, all my fault!" Kushina apologized repeatedly, grabbing Liuyun's arm and trying to pull him up.

"Don't... let me recover for a second, please..."

Liuyun clutched his lower back and begged.

"Uh... okay... okay then!" Kushina let go with an awkward laugh.

"Couldn't you be a little gentler? You just accused me of getting handsy—what about you?" Liuyun grumbled as he rubbed his back.

"I was wrong..." Kushina lowered her head in apology.

"How about I rub it for you?"

"Please don't. I'd still like to keep this waist of mine..." Liuyun rolled his eyes at her.

Once he had mostly recovered, Liuyun slowly stood up and patted the dust from his pants.

"We've cleaned up about enough. Time to go home!"

It was already nearing dusk. If they did not leave soon, the Ninja Academy would be closing.

"Okay..."

Kushina nodded in response.

Liuyun walked ahead, while Kushina obediently followed behind him.

Just as Liuyun was about to leave the classroom, Kushina finally could not hold back any longer and called out to him.

"Liuyun, didn't you say you'd show me your eyes after school? There's no one around now!"

Kushina looked at him expectantly—or rather, at his eyes.

"..."

Liuyun had forgotten about it himself.

He glanced outside the classroom and confirmed that nearly all the academy students had left.

"Fine..."

As Liuyun spoke, Chakra gathered in his eyes, and a pair of blood-red pupils immediately emerged.

With his back to the setting sun, he looked directly at Kushina. Brilliant sunlight poured over him, making him seem sacred and dazzling.

The sunlight flashed in Kushina's eyes, making it difficult for her to see Liuyun's face clearly.

When she rubbed her eyes and looked again, she saw a pair of bewitching Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Against the setting sun, they gleamed brilliantly, resplendent and radiant!

Those eyes were alluring without being seductive, breathtakingly beautiful—so beautiful they made one lose themselves... They could only be called the most perfect work of art in the world!

There had once been someone who considered "explosions art." Upon first seeing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan beneath the setting sun, he had nearly become utterly captivated, his convictions shaken.

At the time, he had believed the Sharingan to be true art, believing such eyes to be even more beautiful than blooming fireworks.

Kushina was similarly entranced at that moment. Her entire heart seemed to have fallen into them, and her eyes could see nothing but those eyes.

Once those Three-Tomoe Sharingan opened, even the brightest sunlight could only pale in comparison, unable to compete with their splendor!

Liuyun had not used any genjutsu on her, yet Kushina seemed to have fallen under the "strongest genjutsu"...

Her mind was filled with those bewitching eyes, filled with that captivating face.

Unconsciously, she stretched out her hand toward the fair, handsome face so close before her.

Liuyun let that warm palm touch his cheek and the corner of his eye.

But seeing the dazed look in Kushina's eyes, he blushed for one of the rare times in his life and instinctively looked away.

As the gaze of those ruby-like eyes shifted downward, Kushina suddenly snapped awake. Her hand recoiled as though shocked, and she hurriedly ran out of the classroom.

Liuyun watched her retreating figure and deactivated his Sharingan.

He did not go after her. With a sigh, he locked the classroom door.

On his way home, Liuyun was in an exceptionally good mood. Even the breeze around him seemed sweet, and his steps unconsciously quickened.

It was the blissful feeling of being about to return home.

As he rounded a corner, he instantly spotted a figure both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

She was a strikingly beautiful married woman with purple hair, standing quietly at the entrance of his home, waiting for his return.

Liuyun lowered his head. For some reason, he felt extremely nervous, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"So you still know how to come home? Where have you been fooling around until now?"

The beautiful woman chided him, but there was no anger on her face—only a faint smile.

"Mom..."

The word came from Liuyun without the slightest awkwardness, as though she had always been his mother—Asuka.

"Where's your headband?" Asuka looked at him strangely.

"It was too hot, so I took it off..." Liuyun stood stiffly in place, keeping his head lowered and not daring to look up.

"Aren't you afraid people will call you broad-foreheaded?" Asuka could not help laughing as she spoke.

Hearing her laugh, Liuyun looked up at her. His nervousness somehow eased as well.

"I'm not afraid. I won't wear it anymore either..."

"Oh my, since when did our Liuyun become so bold?" Asuka smiled and patted his head.

"A girl told me my forehead looked nice today..." Liuyun blurted out, then froze slightly as soon as the words left his mouth.

In front of his biological mother, he had clearly become childish!

It was the original owner's thoughts at work. Even if he wanted to control them, he could not...

"Hahaha... So that's why you're not wearing your headband. A girl said your forehead looked nice... Hahaha!"

Asuka laughed so hard that tears nearly came out.

After a bout of laughter, Asuka ruffled his hair and spoke seriously.

"Our Liuyun was born handsome. It was only a matter of time before girls started praising you."

She had never thought her child was inferior to anyone else, and she had absolute confidence in his looks.

She had noticed Liuyun's small insecurity over his forehead, but she did not think it was a big deal.

Once a child grew up, they would naturally understand what was beautiful and what was ugly. There was no need to teach them.

Besides, Liuyun was naturally very popular with girls. If she did not make him wear a headband, he might become even more popular. It would be bad if he accidentally developed a fear of women, an aversion to women—like Sasuke—or started dating too early.

"Go wash your hands and face, then come eat!"

"Mm..."

Liuyun nodded and hurried away.

After taking a quick cold shower, he came out to find Asuka already kneeling by the dining table, with his meal served and ready.

There were only the two of them at home, mother and son. His father had died heroically in the war two years ago.

He had been a Chunin with Two-Tomoe Sharingan, named Uchiha Sheng.

"Eat. The food's getting cold..." Asuka said as she ate.

"Mm."

Ye Liuyun had been an orphan in his past life. Having a mother in this life felt pretty good too...

"Where did you go this afternoon? You came home so late. Mom was worried sick about you..."

"I had classroom cleaning duty this afternoon, so I got back a little late," Liuyun explained after swallowing a mouthful of food.

"Didn't you just have cleaning duty not long ago? Why is it your turn again?" Asuka asked suspiciously.

"..."

This mother was not easy to fool. She was very perceptive.

"I made a mistake... The teacher punished me with cleaning duty." After some thought, Liuyun decided to tell the truth. It was only a small matter, after all.

"A mistake? What mistake did you make?"

"I hit someone..."

"Hm???"

Asuka suspected she had misheard.

"You hit someone? You weren't the one who got hit?"

"I hit someone..." Liuyun's mouth twitched as he repeated himself.

"You actually dared to hit someone?" Asuka raised an eyebrow, looking quite surprised.

"..."

"How did you hit them? Tell Mom..."

The moment she said that, Liuyun visibly froze.

Logically speaking, should she not ask why he had hit someone first? What kind of mother was curious about how her son had hit someone?
