Gojo sat frozen, his usual calm demeanor flickering as the last words he had heard still echoed in his mind.
"I... I want to marry Gojo in the future."
The classroom had gone silent.
Even the wind outside seemed to stop.
All eyes were on the little girl who had just delivered the most unexpected declaration of the morning.
A Few moments Earlier
Everyone had already introduced themselves—Naruto's loud ambition, Sasuke's cold conviction, Ino's blushing hopes, Hinata's shy voice—but one student had remained quiet, her head slightly lowered, her fingers fidgeting nervously with the hem of her sleeve.
Sasuke glanced at her.
"Hurry up and introduce yourself. Why are you wasting everyone's time?" he said, but strangely, his voice was soft—almost gentle.
That tone caught everyone off guard.
Gojo blinked. Did Sasuke just speak... nicely?
Even Shikamaru raised an eyebrow. Sakura and Ino exchanged glances.
Kiba dropped his snack.
Then the girl looked up.
Her glare was sharp and immediate, and in that instant, Sasuke flinched and shut his mouth like a trained puppy.
He lowered his head, averting his gaze like he was afraid of her.
Gojo was stunned.
'Wait… what just happened? Did Sasuke just become obedient in front of someone? This arrogant prick actually shut up?'
All attention turned toward the girl.
She stepped forward from her desk. Her voice trembled slightly but was clear enough.
"My name is Uchiha Shizuka. I'm six years old… and I'm Sasuke's younger sister."
Gasps rippled across the class. Even Iruka was caught off guard.
"Another Uchiha?!"
Gojo's eyes widened. 'What the hell? Sasuke has a sister? Since when?!'
She stood there nervously, her cheeks puffed up with anxiety.
Despite her refined posture and calm aura, her face was a little chubby, youthful in the most adorable way.
She had the classic Uchiha features—a sharply defined face even at her age, high cheekbones, smooth porcelain skin that glowed under the sunlight pouring through the window.
Her jet-black hair was long and sleek, tied in a tidy ponytail down her back, and her pitch-black eyes gleamed with a quiet fire.
Despite her elegant look and warrior-like presence, her round, soft cheeks gave her a slightly baby-faced appearance that made her look both intimidating and impossibly cute.
Then came the bombshell.
"My dream… is to marry Gojo Senju."
The class erupted.
"WHAAAAT?!" Kiba and Naruto shouted in unison.
Gojo sat paralyzed in his seat. 'Wha… what did she just say?! Did she say… marry me?!'
Shikamaru placed his hand on his forehead. "Tch. Another one joining Gojo's pirate ship. How troublesome."
Choji choked on his chips.
Hinata's mouth opened slightly. Her grip on her desk tightened.
Ino's eye twitched. "Excuse me?!"
Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Rival spotted."
Sasuke, however, looked like a ghost had passed through him. His legs buckled, and he sat back down with a heavy thud, face pale.
"Shizuka… are you serious?" he whispered in disbelief.
Gojo was stunned silent. This adorable little Uchiha girl just confessed to marrying him—without even knowing him?!
His mind raced.
'What the hell is going on? Is this love at first sight? No… no way. It's gotta be an Uchiha scheme.
Maybe they're trying to draw me in? Seduce me into joining their clan's agenda?! But… she's so cute. Dammit! No! Stay strong, Gojo!'
He stood up slowly, composed himself, and looked at her coldly.
"Sorry. I'm not interested in childish games or strange declarations."
Everyone stared.
Shizuka's expression didn't change much. She simply nodded, turned, and walked back to her seat with dignity—though a faint glimmer in her eyes flickered for a moment.
But Sasuke's blood boiled.
He stood up. "Why did you reject her like that? You didn't have to be so cold!"
Gojo narrowed his eyes. "She declared she wanted to marry me out of nowhere.
What was I supposed to do, write poetry for her in return?"
Sasuke clenched his fists. "She's my sister. Watch your mouth."
"Then teach your sister not to throw love confessions like shuriken in the classroom."
Tension snapped between them like a drawn wire.
Iruka shouted, "Enough! Both of you, sit down!"
The class went silent again.
Gojo sat down first, his eyes still watching Sasuke.
Sasuke returned to his seat reluctantly.
Shizuka looked ahead with an expressionless face, but her fingers drummed softly on the desk.
The storm had passed for now.
But Gojo knew… things had just become far more complicated.
