Neji was his child, and the future Hinata and Hanabi might also be his children.
The child in Mikoto's belly already seemed to be Sasuke.
If this kept up, several of the original story's protagonists would all have to call him Dad.
What a strange feeling.
Seeing that Mana had not responded for a long while, Ayano could not help asking, "Are you unwilling?"
Mana glanced at her and said, "There's no need to rush something like this. Just let nature take its course. If you do get pregnant, then have the child with peace of mind."
He knew what Ayano meant. She said she wanted a child, but what she truly wanted was a proper place by his side.
Hearing this, Ayano knew he had agreed. Suppressing the joy in her heart, she said softly, "I understand."
After dinner, Mana went to the nursery, where Ayari and Natsu were playing with little Neji together.
Mana gave Natsu a look, telling her to leave, then moved closer.
Ayari glanced at him. "Did you finish talking?"
"Finished."
"What did you say?"
Mana chuckled. "Can't you guess?"
Ayari pouted. "What can I guess about the two of you?"
Mana immediately corrected her. "What do you mean, the two of us? This concerns our whole family."
This time, Ayari did not refute him. She lowered her head and looked at her son.
Little Neji was awake at the moment, his big eyes blinking as he looked at the two of them. Mana held out a finger before him, and little Neji quickly grasped it with both of his soft little hands.
Mana gently moved his finger, and Neji immediately giggled.
He suddenly said, "You know, it would actually be nice if Neji had a younger brother. He wouldn't be lonely in the future."
