The moon shone bright, the stars sparse.
Cool, clear moonlight fell over the Uchiha Clan Compound, casting hazy shadows.
Soft snores came from Gua's room.
Gua was asleep.
He held the unfurled secret scroll against his chest.
Time flew, and the hours slipped away.
The moonlight gradually faded, and the sun rose.
Gua slowly opened his eyes.
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, glanced at the scroll spread across his chest, and scanned it from top to bottom. Just like yesterday, it was all gibberish...
Gua got up and put the Heavenly Book back in his bedside drawer, leaving his Teddy Bear to guard it.
I'll study it another day!
After breakfast, Gua prepared to go to school.
For the first time in quite a while, his mother, Nai, brought out a lunch box again.
Gua was dumbfounded.
Mom, are you that desperate for a daughter-in-law?
Your son is still a kid!
Nai wore a stern expression, as if to say, Don't come home unless you've won Izumi over.
The corner of Gua's mouth twitched. He took the lunch box and left.
Watching her son's retreating back, Nai quietly clenched her fists. Go get her, son!
It had been so many days. At first, she had thought Gua was coming home late lately because he was spending time with Izumi and their relationship was warming up.
As it turned out, he had just been running into Kakashi every day!
How disappointing!
Could Kakashi be her daughter-in-law? Absolutely not!
What damn good was running into Kakashi?!
So Nai decided she had to step up the offensive!
Whether she had to force his hand or force a relationship, she was going to find out for herself whether it could turn out sweet!
"Go get her, son!!"
