"Muki-kun, are you married?"
Koharu Utatane realized she had misunderstood sothing and quickly smiled as she changed the topic.
Their group was no longer young, yet Renya, Danzō, and Motoha were all still unmarried.
She wondered whether Muki-kun had t soone he liked on the moon all these years, gotten married, and started a family.
Renya: "..."
Why did Koharu always bring up exactly the wrong topic and talk about useless things?
Facing Koharu Utatane’s curious gaze, Hyūga Muki smiled awkwardly.
"N-Not yet..."
If the branch family issue hadn’t remained unresolved all this ti, how could he still be unmarried at this age?
He wasn’t like Renya and Danzō, the type completely uninterested in won.
For a normal man, it was impossible to feel nothing toward the opposite sex.
Unless there was sothing wrong with his orientation!
As for Nara Motoha, he simply thought marriage and having children were too troubleso.
Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane’s eyes instantly lit up, as if her inner speculation had been confird.
Muki-kun really wasn’t married!
They were all getting older, yet several close friends were all unmarried. It was hard not to grow suspicious.
It seed one of them must have led the others astray.
But who was it?
She glanced at Renya and Shimura Danzō, who were eating heartily. As forr teammates, the two were undoubtedly the biggest suspects in corrupting the others!
When Hyūga Muki t Koharu Utatane’s gaze, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and for so reason he added,
"When I return to the moon, I should start considering marriage."
The mont he said this, he sharply noticed a flash of... disappointnt in Koharu Utatane’s eyes?
His intention to consider marriage seed to have disappointed her...
"Then we’ll congratulate you in advance," Koharu Utatane said insincerely.
So she had misunderstood. Muki-kun wasn’t the way she had imagined...
Although she guessed wrong about why Muki-kun remained unmarried, she was certain she hadn’t misunderstood Renya and Danzō’s reasons!
Those two definitely had so unknown secret behind the scenes!
"When the wedding happens, rember to notify us," Hiruzen said with a smile.
Even now, he still felt sowhat dissatisfied about being left behind when the others went to the moon.
Although there wasn’t an opportunity anyti soon, as long as Hyūga Muki invited him to the wedding, he could openly travel to the moon under the pretext of attending a friend’s wedding.
Hmph. Even if you didn’t take , I can still find my own way there!
"That’s right, rember to invite us. We can also take the chance to see the scenery on the moon," Uchiha Kagami said with a smile.
"Yes, seeing the ninja world from the moon must feel completely different from how we view the moon from here," Mitokado Homura added.
"Wow, holding a wedding on the moon?" Koharu Utatane’s eyes sparkled as if she imagined the grand and romantic scene. "Muki-kun, you absolutely must invite us when you get married!"
The others didn’t know that Hiruzen had been left alone in the ninja world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things.
"Of course. I will personally invite all of you," Hyūga Muki replied with a smile.
Even if they hadn’t ntioned it, he would have done so anyway.
After all, these people were friends he had t in the ninja world.
Hiruzen: "..."
He seriously suspected they were doing this on purpose.
The moon trip he had looked forward to for so long had been obtained so easily by the others.
"Judging from your expression, do you already have soone you like?" Renya asked with interest. That King of Smug guy really had skills—quietly finding himself a girl.
He had thought this guy would stay single forever just like him.
Yet without a word, he was already preparing to find a partner.
Hyūga Muki thought for a mont, shook his head, then nodded again.
"I suppose so."
Over the years on the moon, he had indeed t a girl he liked. But because of the branch family war, he never had the chance to take things further.
This ti, when he returned, he would try and see whether it could work out.
"Not bad. Let et my future sister-in-law when the ti cos."
Shimura Danzō: "..."
If he rembered correctly, Hyūga Muki’s real age was more than ten years older than them.
Logically, they should be the ones calling him big brother, yet Renya shalessly called Muki’s partner his younger brother’s wife.
Wasn’t that indirectly calling Hyūga Muki the younger brother?
He gained a deeper understanding of his good friend’s thick skin.
After all, Danzō himself was slightly older than Renya. Could it be that Renya secretly considered him a younger brother too?
It seed he needed to find an opportunity to probe him about it.
At this mont, Renya had only spoken casually, never expecting Danzō to interpret it so deeply.
In truth, that was exactly the case. Renya had always treated Danzō and the others as little brothers, even if they were technically older.
It had been that way since childhood...
The group’s discussion gradually shifted from Hyūga Muki’s background to the girl he liked.
The unmarried King of Smug looked as inexperienced as a fresh recruit in front of several married n.
Faced with the bold and shaless remarks from Hiruzen and the others, he could only lower his head with a red face, too embarrassed to speak.
"Alright, stop teasing the King of Smug," Renya finally said. If this continued, Hyūga Muki might actually dig a hole and hide inside.
Shimura Danzō and Nara Motoha rolled their eyes helplessly. These married people loved teasing them.
Although the comnts were directed at Hyūga Muki, they felt the sa pressure as fellow unmarried n.
The key difference was—
The King of Smug would probably get married.
But unless sothing unexpected happened, they themselves might remain single for life!
In that sense, Hiruzen and the others’ words hurt them even more...
"Muki is already considering marriage. Are you three really not planning to marry?"
Since Renya had intervened, they stopped targeting Hyūga Muki, but discussing the other three unmarried n was perfectly acceptable.
The three: "..."
These people were discussing such boring topics again.
Nara Motoha put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said calmly,
"Marriage is the most troubleso thing. Once you have children, you have to take care of them..."
Children who couldn’t even talk properly and only knew how to cry endlessly were the most troubleso of all.
He had no intention of taking care of such little brats.
Even if they were his own children...
With that ti, he’d rather learn from Renya—lying in a chair basking in the sun. He heard sunlight was good for the body.
"Exactly. You people don’t understand the benefits of being single," Renya and Danzō nodded in agreent.
Hiruzen and the others looked at the three n, completely unmoved, and shook their heads helplessly.
It seed there was no chance of ever seeing them get married.
Koharu Utatane looked at the three firmly determined bachelors, her eyes shining as she covered her mouth and laughed softly, clearly thinking about sothing again.
Leaving the three n across from her completely confused.
