"Mom, we're home!" Uchiha Matsuzaki called out as he pushed open the front door.
Uchiha Matsuzaki's mother came out of her room upon hearing him and was a little alarmed when she saw Uchiha Kei on his back.
"Matsuzaki, what happened to Kei?"
"It's nothing, Mom. Kei just played too hard and fell asleep. Don't worry."
Uchiha Matsuzaki smiled and said to his mother.
Seeing Uchiha Kei sound asleep, Uchiha Matsuzaki's mother finally relaxed.
"You two, hurry inside."
Then, Uchiha Matsuzaki's mother helped him support Uchiha Kei as they slowly walked into the room, and she gently laid Uchiha Kei on the bed.
"Mom, Kei and I are starting school tomorrow."
"We didn't buy anything tonight; I just played with Kei for a while!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki sat in the living room and said to his mother.
"That's right, school starts tomorrow. After the last war, our village was rebuilt quite quickly!"
"You two study hard tomorrow, and Mom will make something delicious for you for lunch."
"It's getting late, time to go to bed, Matsuzaki."
Uchiha Matsuzaki's mother said with a smile.
The mother and son chatted briefly before going to bed, as they had school the next day.
After Uchiha Matsuzaki returned to his room, he looked out the window.
"I still haven't figured out these people's motives, but it doesn't seem like they want to kill me; instead, they want me to do something!"
"But no matter what, as long as Mom and little sister are threatened, I will make sure they don't return."
Uchiha Matsuzaki thought to himself as he looked out the window. Then he went to bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Uchiha Matsuzaki woke up.
"Ding, host, would you like to sign in now?"
Uchiha Matsuzaki nodded after hearing what the system said.
"Ding, host has successfully signed in and obtained the ninjutsu Chidori."
Uchiha Matsuzaki, who was still a bit groggy, instantly became alert after hearing the reward.
"Holy cow, Chidori!"
"Although it's not some incredibly powerful ninjutsu, it's really flashy!"
"And given the current situation, it will definitely evolve into something else in the future. After all, anything is possible here! Haha!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki said with a wide smile.
Right now, all he wanted was to become stronger, because only then could he protect the people he cared about.
"Today is a good day. Time to wash my face and brush my teeth."
Uchiha Matsuzaki put on his clothes and left the room to wash up.
Soon after, Uchiha Kei also got up, tidied up her things, and came to Uchiha Matsuzaki's side.
"Brother, what happened last night? I remember we were shopping, weren't we? Why don't I remember anything?"
Uchiha Kei asked her brother.
"Well, it's like this: you had too much fun yesterday and got too tired, so you fell asleep. Then I carried you home!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki said to his innocent younger sister.
Clearly, this explanation was a bit flimsy, but there was no other way. If he told her the truth about last night, he was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it!
"Is that so! But it really is very strange; I don't remember anything at all."
"Never mind, never mind, I won't think about it anymore. Hurry up, we still have to go to school soon!"
Uchiha Kei shook her head and started to wash up.
Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at his sister with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I will definitely protect you from now on. What happened last night will never happen again!"
Looking at Uchiha Kei, Uchiha Matsuzaki made a firm resolution.
