Gua returned home with the six million.
Once home, Gua chose to hand it over again. The very picture of a good boy!
"?"
Uchiha Nai looked bewildered at the six million that had come flying back, while Uchiha Oyama narrowed his eyes.
"Did you steal it back from the clan leader's house?"
Gua: ?
Hey, Mom, look at him!
Gua pointed his little finger.
Uchiha Nai promptly landed a critical hit on Uchiha Oyama.
Uchiha Oyama fell silent.
Only then did Uchiha Nai ask,
"Gua, what's going on?"
Gua explained the whole story to his mother.
After listening, his mother, Nai, nodded repeatedly. "It looks like the Third Generation has acknowledged Gua."
His father, Dashan, nodded too. "It looks like I misjudged Gua."
Gua: ...
Mom. Look at him.
Uchiha Nai promptly followed up with an elbow strike to Uchiha Oyama.
Uchiha Oyama shrank back and stopped talking.
Gua left, satisfied.
Gua trusted that his parents wouldn't hand the six million over to the clan treasury again.
Had I finally become a rich kid through my own hard work?
Gua, you rascal...
Lying in bed, Gua couldn't help giving himself a thumbs-up.
The next day,
Gua even felt energized at school, positively glowing. Itachi noticed in surprise. "Gua, are you really happy today?"
Gua smiled slightly. "I am."
How could he not be?
There was no greater joy in life than recovering something lost.
Especially when that something was two million.
The school day passed quickly. Gua finished idling and headed straight for the Hokage Building.
"Lord Hokage, I'm here."
Gua was very polite now, greeting him as soon as he entered.
Smiling, the Third Generation took a thick scroll from his drawer and handed it to Gua. "It seems ninjutsu is the only thing you care about.
