The darkness of the night, so thick it cannot be melted away, resembles a master painter's hand, creating a canvas filled with mysterious colors. The pure white moonlight acts as a stroke of white paint, collaborating with the master hand to depict the scenes inside the house on the windows in real-time, ready for outsiders to appreciate.

The dark night possessed an enchanting allure.

Ah~

The Nara clan member standing outside the yard observed the happenings in the room and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, then concealed herself in the grass, stealthily observing the room on the second floor where Ryoko Nara was.

Unexpectedly, the family's secret Shadow Imitation Technique can be employed in such a manner.

Observing the silhouette of the female black shadow seated on the male shadow's lap, the Nara clansman hidden in the grass involuntarily licked his dry lips, feeling a slight dryness in his throat.

So thrilling...

Meanwhile, Nara Ryoko sat on the chair, casting a deep gaze at Uchiha Asuka seated opposite, and whispered.

"Logically speaking, my information is highly confidential. It's not surprising that you can find out my name and address, but where did you uncover such detailed information?"

"Oh, someone sold you."

Boom!

Upon hearing this, a sense of betrayal surged instantly within her. Ryoko Nara slapped the table and stood up. She swiftly appeared in front of Asuka, grabbing the opponent's collar with both hands and gritting her teeth.

"Who was it?"

Seeing that this guy's nose was almost touching his own face, Asuka tilted his head back and spoke directly without thinking.

"Ota."

"Snort!"

After hearing the name Ota, Ryoko Nara snorted coldly. She had some vague guesses in her mind just now, but when she knew that her teammates had sold her out, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

That bastard would sell his information now, but would he sell himself to the enemy when on the battlefield?

"Actually, you don't have to be so angry. If you sell information on Root to me again, won't you two be even?"

"Don't even think about it."

Seeing that the other party rejected him, Asuka calmly took out a scroll from his pants pocket, played with it for a while, and then spoke.

"You joined it because you wanted to find a way to save your son. If you take him back from the hospital, I can treat that disease."

Suddenly hearing the news, Nara Ryoko looked at Asuka in disbelief.

Her two-year-old son has been in the hospital for more than a year due to an incurable condition.

During this period, whenever she had free time, she would go to the hospital to accompany her son. If it weren't for the swollen cheeks that were difficult to explain, she would not have appeared at home at all.

After a moment of silence, she put her hand on the scroll handed by Asuka and said with a trembling voice.

"Really?"

"Absolutely. If you can invite Tsunade over, she can also treat it."

"What do you want from me?"

"Pass the message. My dream is to know every time you adults change your pants. "

"Don't be joking. We have seals in our mouths. How can we reveal the Lord's information?"

"It's just a metaphor. If you receive any Uchiha missions in the future, you can tell me secretly. "

Asuka rolled his eyes at her and couldn't help but feel speechless when he saw Ryoko Nara still staring at him with a wary expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, and I won't let you do something dangerous. If you feel that what I ask you to do is dangerous, just give up. Moreover, you don't have to be afraid that I will use your son as a threat. Because I will cure his illness first and let him go to school, graduate, and do tasks like a normal person. "

Hearing this, Nara Ryoko instantly became a little silent.

She just thought that the other party would put forward some harsh conditions, and might even have some bad thoughts about herself.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not restrict himself at all and even seemed to be deliberately helping her.

Looking at the clear eyes of this Uchiha, Nara Ryoko directly asked the doubts in her heart.

"Why? Why are you helping me so much? "

Asuka shrugged, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said casually.

"Because we live in the same village and have lived together for 51 years. Isn't it normal for fellow villagers to help each other without any conflict of interest? You are also aware of the conflict between Senju and Uchiha. When Tsunade was still in Konoha, although she cursed and didn't want to see Uchiha, she often treated Uchiha's patients. Doctors have a benevolent heart and practice the art of benevolence with noble sentiments. Be worthy of heaven and earth, be worthy of your heart."

Looking at the suspicious eyes of the other party, Asuka twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed his true purpose.

"Actually, the real purpose of my treatment of your son is to let you remember this kindness one day in the future, and to pass on some information about the future of the Uchiha clan at a critical moment."

Ryoko Nara couldn't help but fall into self-doubt. She didn't believe that the Uchiha people could suddenly care about herself as a villager, but it didn't sound like the other party's true purpose was true.

Never mind.

As long as her son is cured, this guy won't have any means to blackmail her.

At that point, if the other party wanted her to do something dangerous, the worst-case scenario is that she would quit the ninja sequence, and her kindness would be repaid in the next life.

...

At the same time, in the grass outside the room, the Nara tribesman was a little dazzled. What did she just see? That girl Ryoko Nara actually controlled the shadow. First, she violently pulled the collar of another shadow, and then kissed the other shadow face to face.

Um...

After the Nara tribesman thought about it in his mind, he probably understood the reason for Ryoko's anger. It was just that her husband left a child and a widow and left for the Pure Land alone. 

Tsk tsk!

Looking at the two shadows sticking closely together, the Nara tribesman shook his head, stood up, and planned to leave. I had never realized before that Ryoka was such an infatuated person.

...

The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

Last night, the Nara tribesman who had been squatting in the grass for a long time walked out of the house with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She looked at the red sun above her head and said to herself.

"What does it feel like to hold the air... Why do I feel nothing when I hold it all night..."

"Naomi, what are you mumbling about so early in the morning?"

Hearing a familiar voice coming from behind, Naomi turned to look behind her and weakly greeted the other person.

"Good morning, sister."

"Naomi, what's wrong with you?"

"Well!"

After sighing, Naomi looked at her sister's concerned look. She hooked her fingers at her and said against her sister's ear.

"Sister, let me tell you a secret, please help me refer to it.

You can't tell this secret to anyone else, just us two sisters know it. "

Looking at her sister's haggard face, she nodded and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

Afterward, Naomi explained what she saw and heard last night, as well as her doubts, Describe it completely to your sister.

"..."

After listening to Naomi's description, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold the air, with a look of confusion on her face as well.

This... doesn't feel like...

But she looked at the curiosity in her sister's eyes, reached out, and patted her shoulder, teasingly.

"Maybe you won't understand this feeling until you find a boyfriend."

After saying that, without waiting for her sister to continue asking, she made an excuse and ran away.

Although she doesn't understand this kind of thing, her best friend is well-informed, so she must understand.

...

The sun was high in the sky, and it was already noon.

Only then did Ryoko open the door, breathing in the fresh air outside.

Last night was the most peaceful sleep she had in this year.

My son's condition is finally under control...

"Sister-in-law Yoshino, good afternoon."

After saying hello to the clan leader's wife who passed by her house, Nara Ryoko closed her eyes and began to sunbathe.

It seems like the last time I basked in the sun so easily and comfortably was the year before last.

Nara Yoshino stood there blankly. She looked at Ryoko on the recliner, and her eyes suddenly became complicated.

Although she doesn't understand medicine, she understands the things between men and women.

Ryoko's face was rosy and shiny, she looked very happy, and there were no dark circles under her eyes. She must have had an excellent sleep last night, and the cold and distant aura about her body had also disappeared.

Are the rumors that spread among the clan this morning true??

The widowhood of a widowed person lasts for one year and ends.

...
