Sasuke felt a surge of heat.

And in the midst of the heat, the buzzing sound of the electric fan brings a touch of cool breeze.

He opened his eyes blankly amid the long and short chirping of cicadas and found himself lying on the corridor of an unfamiliar courtyard.

This is a Japanese-style courtyard, but compared to the enclosed Uchiha residence, it looks like a small forest has been enclosed in the backyard.

Five or six deer were grazing in the woods.

This is where?

He felt a little dizzy and bent his knees and covered his forehead.

He is fighting with Chaolu...

Yes, that's right, and then...

Chaolu used an unfamiliar lightning technique...

The last thing Sasuke remembered was her eyes as she rushed towards him.

...Is he seeing things? Chaolu seems to...have the Sharingan?

Then this is——

He originally wanted to use the Sharingan to drag Chaolu into the illusion. If Chaolu also had the Sharingan...

The clan's book said that [the Sharingan can instantly see through illusions, physical techniques, and ninjutsu, and counterattack them intact], could it be that the moment she made eye contact with Chaolu, she counterattacked his illusion and dragged him into the illusion? !

But... this kind of illusion doesn't seem to have any attack power at all...

What on earth is Chaolu doing?

He heard the sound of someone busy working in the room behind him. He turned his head and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the kitchen.

"…Morning dew?"

But the voice that responded to him came from beside him: "Hmm...?"

Sasuke looked back in surprise, only to see a thin blanket covering his stomach, and on the other side of the blanket, there was a person sleeping!

This posture was just like the one he had seen in the photo before - the posture of Shikamaru and Asakawa in the corridor of the Nara family.

...Wait, Nara family? Deer?

Could it be that this courtyard was constructed by Chaolu based on the prototype of the Nara family?

A familiar face turned out from under the blanket, with a thin layer of sweat on his fair face and his cheeks flushed from the heat.

She noticed the thin blanket on her body and quickly lifted it up. She got up looking aggrieved and ran to the kitchen door. She said to the woman in the kitchen, "Mom, why did you cover us with a blanket? It's so hot!"

Mother?

Eh! ?

Sasuke stood up in confusion and saw the woman turned around.

The reason why he felt that this woman was both strange and familiar was that her hairstyle and clothes were very similar to Chaolu, but she was an adult.

When he saw her face at this moment, Sasuke was shocked to find that she looked almost exactly like Asaka, except that Asaka had black hair and black eyes, while she had brown hair and brown eyes.

Is this... the "mother" that Chaolu created based on her own appearance?

"Because it's easy to catch a cold if you sleep with the wind blowing."

“But it’s summer now!”

"No, you have to cover your belly!" Mom smiled and touched her face. "Okay, there's some frozen watermelon in the refrigerator. Take it and eat it with Sasuke."

When Chaolu heard that there was watermelon, she was delighted. She agreed obediently and stopped worrying about the blanket.

She opened the refrigerator, took out a snow-white plate with a few slices of watermelon with red flesh and green skin wrapped in plastic wrap on it, and ran back "da da da".

A natural breeze blew through the hall, and a few crisp "ding-dang ding-dang" sounds came from under the eaves. Sasuke looked up and found that there was a wind chime hanging under the eaves.

"Sasuke, eat."

Chaolu put the watermelon down, picked up the thin blanket on the floor and folded it neatly.

"I..." Sasuke didn't know what to say for a moment, "You..."

The morning dew in the illusion...is it real morning dew?

Can she communicate? Can she dispel illusions?

"What's the matter?" Chaolu folded the thin blanket, turned around and tilted her head to look at him, "Are you still angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"I'm angry that Dad promised to train with you today, but he had to go out on a mission."

Sasuke: "..."

Why does he have to go through this kind of thing in the illusion!

Is this the attack Chaolu came up with?

But how could she know...

Besides, compared to my father, the one who breaks appointments most often should be... that man...!

"Don't be angry. It's useless to be angry now. Why don't we think about how to get revenge on him? Didn't Dad promise that we can get whatever we want? When he comes back, we will make a lot of money from him together! We will squeeze all his salary! How do you think?"

Why does it sound like Chaolu's father is like her father?

But her "mother" is not his mother.

"My dad... and your dad, are they the same dad?"

Chaolu seemed not to hear his words. She passed him by, put a thin blanket under her knees, knelt in front of the electric fan, and opened her mouth towards the rotating blades: "Ah——"

The fan responded with an electric sound.

Sasuke thought her childishness was funny, but at the same time he was confused: "What is our relationship?"

Chaolu turned her head to look at him and said as a matter of course: "Family!"

She had just taken a nap and was covered in sweat under the thin blanket. The sweat had not yet dried off, and now the electric fan blew on her, and many strands of hair stuck to her face.

But for some reason, Sasuke didn't think she was sloppy, nor did he think her sweat was sticky and disgusting. Instead, he felt that her sweat beads were sparkling, like dew on a flower bud about to bloom.

He reached out to help her push her hair aside, and then put his hands on the sides of her face to prevent the electric fan from blowing her hair up and sticking to her.

"Alright," Sasuke no longer wanted to fight her, "Let me out of here, Asaka."

But Chaolu gave him a strange look and wrinkled her nose: "What are you talking about? That's weird."

Sasuke was stunned.

"What do you mean by not being able to go out... Are you going to run away from home? I won't help you in that case. Mom made beef brisket stewed with tomatoes for dinner tonight. As usual, you eat the tomatoes and I eat the beef brisket."

“…Because I like eating tomatoes?”

Chaolu said confidently: "Because I like to eat beef brisket!"

Sasuke felt that this illusion was too real.

It is not the kind of illusion that would make people feel scared, but it has a kind of thrilling feeling that makes people unable to help but indulge in it.

He decided to try to break the illusion himself.

Sasuke pursed his lips, formed a seal and said, "Release!"

Chaolu picked up a piece of watermelon and looked at him curiously.

Sasuke: "..."

"What are you solving?"

"I can't solve it..."

"Eat watermelon? If you don't, I'll eat it all."

Sasuke: "..."

He sat down sullenly and angrily.

He fell into Chaolu's illusion and couldn't get rid of it. Does that mean he lost to Chaolu?

No... I'm not sure about Chaolu's situation. If she is also caught in his illusion, then it will be a draw!

However, the time in the illusion is not necessarily the same as the time in the outside world. Maybe he will spend several years, more than ten years, or even a lifetime in the illusion, but only a moment will pass in the outside world.

Chaolu wouldn’t be so cruel, right…?

Her chakra should not be enough to maintain the illusion for too long. If there is no other way, she can only wait until her chakra is exhausted...

"Sasuke..."

Sasuke was thinking about things in reality, but Asano in the illusion suddenly came close to him.

"what?"

"It's your birthday...but dad stood you up. It's his fault!" Sasuke looked into her dark eyes, which reflected his stunned figure. "But mom and I will be with you!"

She held his hand and said, "You have to believe that we all love you very much."

My birthday...

December 7th...

Sasuke thought blankly, so... in this illusion... it is summer now?
