Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Uchiha Shizumi's eyes widened in panic, and she turned her head away, ignoring Koki.

[Uchiha Shizumizu, feeling flustered... Emotional control at 100%]

this....

The system's notification left Gu Mu speechless. They were an old married couple; what was there to panic about?

"Good morning, young master. We're developing a new flavor of steamed buns today. This soup-filled idea is really good."

Senju Hotaru didn't notice Uchiha Shizuru's expression; instead, she seemed to see gold coins beckoning to her.

"Okay, Yingliu-nee, I'll have to ask you to take care of Jingshui then."

"Don't worry, Jing Shui is also a boss. We're opening the store together. You'll get four, and Jing Shui and I will each get three."

"I have so many?"

Gu Mu's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected to receive a 40% cut.

"Of course, after all, you provided the start-up capital."

"Oh, do I have a bit too much?"

Uchiha Shizumizu originally just wanted to work, but unexpectedly, she became the boss.

"There aren't many left. The idea of ​​opening a steamed bun shop originated from you, and you even invented these steamed buns."

"Forehead...."

Upon hearing that she had invented the steamed buns, Uchiha Shizumi blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Then let's do it this way, Jing Shui, you take three."

A mischievous smile played on Gu Mu's lips.

"No...no, I'll still be living here, then..."

"Little old man..."

"Ahem, then I agree, I agree, thank you, Sister Yingliu."

Upon hearing Gu Mu's lip movements, Uchiha Shizumi immediately blushed and hurriedly waved her hand to interrupt.

"Well, it's settled then."

Senju Hotaru looked puzzled. She seemed to have heard the young master say something, but he didn't finish.

After breakfast, Uchiha Shizuru followed Koki with a wistful expression, her eyes like a kitten's, yearning to rescue someone.

Gu Mu glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:

"What's wrong? Jing Shui, are you angry?"

"Gu Mu, didn't we agree that in front of outsiders, we'd be classmates?"

Uchiha Shizusui pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

"It's alright, Sister Yingliu isn't an outsider."

Koki was very confident that, given the choice between Tobirama Senju and himself, Eiryu Senju would choose him without hesitation.

After all, when he was a child, she defied the Hokage's orders to stay by his side and protect him. It could even be said that Senju Hiruichi played the role of his mother when he was young.

"Ah? So that's it."

Uchiha Shizumi's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, making her look utterly foolish. This just goes to show that her contradictions were entirely self-inflicted.

"Haha, look how anxious you were just now."

Gu Mu chuckled a few times, finding it amusing to recall how Uchiha Shizumi had rushed to answer earlier.

"Damn it, you wicked old tree, all you do is bully me!"

Uchiha Shizumizu looked dissatisfied and decided to ignore him for a day.

However, after thinking about it, a whole day seems a bit too long, maybe half a day... Oh well... I'll just ignore him until I get to the classroom.

"Good morning, Ancient Tree."

"Good morning, Uchiha Shizumizu."

Just as Uchiha Shizumi was looking cute and secretly sulking, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Hmm, adopted son, are you alright?"

Koki looked at Shimura Danzo, who was getting ready to go to school even with a bandage on his wrist, with a puzzled expression.

As for Uchiha Shizumi beside him, he glanced at Shimura Danzo but ignored him.

"Something happened at home, and there's something important to do today."

Danzo Shimura didn't say much, but one could clearly see the desire to become stronger in his eyes.

And the subtle resentment in his eyes when he looked at Uchiha Shizuru.

"Why does that guy look so clumsy?"

Uchiha Shizumi looked at Shimura Danzo like a curious cat, then quickly walked in front of the two of them, her tone full of curiosity.

"I don't know, maybe I have hemorrhoids."

"Pfft~"

"Gu Mu, you're so mean... cough cough... hmph~"

Uchiha Shizumizu burst out laughing at Koki's antics, her laughter as clear and melodious as a silver bell.

But then she suddenly realized that she couldn't pay attention to him right now. So she gave a soft hum and, like a proud swan, deliberately turned her head away.

???

Gu Mu looked puzzled, while Uchiha Shizumi had a half-smile on her face.

Soon, the two arrived at the classroom together.

Over the past few months, rumors have gradually spread around the area regarding Koki and Uchiha Shizumizu spending time together.

Many people believe that the two are having an affair.

There are even rumors that the two have slept together.

"Oh? What is this?"

Koki looked at a letter placed on Uchiha Shizuru's desk with curiosity in his eyes.

"do not know."

Uchiha Shizusui shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.

After opening the letter, Koki noticed that Uchiha Shizuru's brows furrowed slightly.

That familiar, subtle expression made Gu Mu instantly realize that someone must be confessing their feelings to her.

To be honest, my girlfriend is just too charming.

Now, she not only ranks among the top in written exams, but also excels in practical courses.

In addition, her increasingly aloof and cool appearance is enough to completely overwhelm these little brats.

"Looks like it's something good?"

Gu Mu rested his chin on one hand, his eyes looking comical.

"You know, this afternoon, under that big tree during the practical training class, please help me reject him."

Uchiha Shizusui, with an indifferent expression, as if he had a stoic face, skillfully told Koki the location.

In his previous life, when he was in high school, Koki helped Uchiha Shizuru get rid of many suitors.

"You little girl, when you get serious, you can be quite aloof."

Gu Mu reached out and began to knead Uchiha Shizumi's face.

Indeed, in other people's eyes, Uchiha Shizumi is like an iceberg, not talkative, focused on studying, a typical aloof and mature woman.

"Hey... Gu Mu is bullying me again, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Uchiha Shizuru kept waving her hands and struggling, feeling a little embarrassed by the stares of her classmates.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. I have an important announcement to make today."

Upon entering the classroom, Tobirama Senju looked at Koki and Shizumi Uchiha, who were usually fooling around, and his expression darkened.

He always felt that his precious son might have been seduced by Uchiha Shizuru.

Since that's the case, then we should increase the intensity for you guys.

If studying is boring, then let's graduate.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting in the audience, looked on with curiosity, but his peripheral vision was still on his classmate Danzo Shimura.

This guy hasn't been to school these past few days. Was he seriously injured?

Danzo, what exactly happened to you?

"As I said before, I will select outstanding students to graduate early based on the ranking of practical courses and some comprehensive evaluations."
