Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "That's good."

"You go ahead with your work, I'm leaving."

As Shen Yue Xingyun spoke, he pulled Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki to complete the formalities, leaving the two women staring at him in a daze.

Beautiful woman: 'You won't even say goodbye sometime?'

Just because I got married?

'well……'

Ino Yamanaka: 'Hmm~ The handsome uncle's gone.'

'I wish I could walk with him.'

'But watching from afar is also nice.'

'I never imagined there was a man like this in the village. When I go to school, I'll have to ask Sasuke about Uncle Nebula... Oh, right! Sasuke!'

Yamanaka Ino was lost in thought when she suddenly froze.

She realized that she had been so engrossed in the beautiful things that she had completely forgotten about Sasuke!

But at this moment, Ino Yamanaka suddenly felt that... playing such a childish game as fighting with Sakura Haruno for Sasuke seemed rather pointless.

"Ino, let's go." The woman's voice pulled Ino back to reality.

The latter took two steps, looked up, and spoke.

"Mom, what's your relationship with Uncle Nebula?"

The woman's eyes flickered.

Chapter 478 Uchiha Family Banquet, A New Sword Technique!

"Just... an old friend."

"An old friend?" Yamanaka Ino murmured.

She decided that when she got home that evening, she would take out the most recent family photo and compare them.

Otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease.

……

As night fell, in the Uchiha clan compound, Shingetsu Seiun and Sasuke and his mother were having dinner together.

A sumptuous dinner steamed in the air. Uchiha Mikoto asked, "Sasuke, how's school?"

Have you made any new friends?

Sasuke calmly shook his head: "No."

"No?" Mikoto Uchiha said, "How could there not be?"

Sasuke: "They're all so boring."

Uchiha Mikoto: "Boy? Or girl?"

Sasuke: "It's all the same."

"Boys are all so immature, and girls are so noisy, it's really annoying."

Shenyue Xingyun chimed in from the side, "Isn't there anyone I find pleasing to the eye?"

Sasuke: "...There are some who look like they want to take action."

"By the way, that Yamanaka Ino asked me about you."

Shenyue Xingyun: "What did you say?"

Sasuke: "I told her to go away. Don't bother me if you don't want to get beaten up."

Shenyue Xingyun smiled helplessly, "You're not allowed to hit people."

“I know,” Sasuke said, looking quite clever. “I was just trying to scare her.”

A moment later, Sasuke put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm done eating."

"Uncle Xingyun, you can eat slowly. I'm going to practice the 'Heart Nourishing and Eye Care Technique'."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Okay, take your time, no rush."

Sasuke smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but I feel we're not far from success!"

After Sasuke ran far away, Shingetsu Seiun withdrew his gaze, which met Uchiha Mikoto's.

"Let's eat."

"Mm," Mikoto Uchiha responded.

The sound was so clear and tangy that Shenyue Xingyun immediately sensed something was wrong.

He frowned slightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Mikoto Uchiha shook her head.

"No."

"What I wanted to say was... thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Are you thanking me?"

Uchiha Mikoto: "Hmm."

"Thank you for taking the time to send Sasuke to school, and... for your patience with Sasuke."

Shingetsu Seiun laughed and said, "Mikoto-sensei, it's too formal of you to say such things to me."

"Besides, it's not entirely your fault. I do really like Sasuke."

Mikoto Uchiha didn't say anything more, and kept her head down to eat, only occasionally raising her eyes to gaze at him with tenderness in them.

Shen Yue Xingyun's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at it.

He noticed that Mikoto Uchiha was in a significantly different state than usual today.

Is the day approaching?

Or is it simply a matter of emotion?

He wasn't sure, but he keenly sensed that this might be an opportunity.

As she slowed her eating, Shen Yuexingyun's mind began to wander.

'Mikoto-sensei, since you're so touched, could you grant me a simple request?' This thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately rejected it.

If these words were spoken aloud, Mikoto Uchiha's rare moment of composure might be ruined; besides, it would be a bit too direct.

He calmed himself down and continued eating without making a sound, intending to proceed slowly.

One minute, two minutes.

In the quiet environment, the two occasionally exchanged glances. Shingetsu Seiun tried to keep her gaze gentle, which made Uchiha Mikoto lower her head more and more.

The atmosphere began to intensify.

After the meal, Mikoto Uchiha began to clean up.

Shenyue Xingyun was naturally with him. In the kitchen, he did his best to help her, even contributing his own strength to wiping the dishes.

Mikoto Uchiha was probably too full to do anything, as she was clearly struggling to even wash the dishes by herself, and her eyelids kept twitching.

Shingetsu Seiun had no choice but to help her wash the dishes while keeping an eye on Sasuke's movements.

Thankfully, the little one is very well-behaved and ran quite far.

Thirty minutes later, the two finally finished cleaning up the kitchen.

Shenyue Xingyun helped him back to his room and asked him with concern.

"Mikoto-sensei, are you alright? If you're tired... take a break today."

As Shenyue Xingyun spoke, his heart pounded with anxiety. Fortunately, the other party did not disappoint him.

"It's nothing," Mikoto Uchiha said, turning her head to the side.

Shenyue Xingyun tentatively suggested, "Shall we continue our sparring later?"

"I've recently studied two new sword techniques and would like you to take a look."

Uchiha Mikoto: "Hmm~"

Shenyue Xingyun added, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Let me prepare first."

Perhaps it was because of my good mood, or perhaps it was because of the gentle night breeze.

The attack from Shingetsu Nebula was not fierce; the sword light was revealed little by little, giving Uchiha Mikoto ample time to prepare and deal with it calmly.

Well... at first I was quite relaxed, not exactly skilled, but at least I was familiar with the process.

Despite the deliberate suppression from Shingetsu Seiun, Uchiha Mikoto was able to barely maintain control of the situation. However, as time passed, the sword's edge grew sharper and more swift.

Mikoto Uchiha began to show signs of defeat.

This time, however, Shingetsu Seiun was not in the mood to appreciate Uchiha Mikoto's defeat. In order to achieve his goal, he went forward to show concern.

"Mikoto-sensei, can you still hold on?"

Mikoto Uchiha channeled her chakra, and seeing the concerned look in Shingetsu Seiun's eyes, she felt a rare urge to show off.

"...Bring it on!"

Shenyue Nebula began to release the horses.

The sword's edge grew increasingly sharp!

At a certain moment, taking advantage of Uchiha Mikoto's predicament and inability to protect herself, Shingetsu Seiun suddenly advanced with his sword!

It was as if a divine arrow pierced the sky, or as if a giant ship swept across the mountains.

The Divine Moon Nebula Sword light rose three inches, then charged forward like a boar!

Mikoto Uchiha was stunned!
