"Weren't you curious about what happened to me afterward?"
Hearing Chiba's question, Uchiha Nobuhiko did not answer directly this time. Instead, he responded with a question of his own.
"Oh? Then what was your situation like afterward?"
Seeing Uchiha Nobuhiko's questioning look and the faint hope in his eyes that Chiba would press further, Chiba nodded and asked bluntly.
"No. It's an unimportant matter, and you would probably only be humoring me. Since you don't want to hear it, I won't force the issue. That genius of the clan truly was the first outsider I had encountered who knew everything. Of course, at the time, I did not yet know that was what an outsider was."
