"Don't look at me, they've all embellished what I did. If you were really there, you'd be terrified..."

Sasuke lifted his head from the pillow, gave it an awkward glare, then muttered a few self-criticisms before lying back down.

These two only know how to say nice things; the things he did, like massacring villages and exterminating clans, are completely ignored.

However, he also knew that those things couldn't be said.

"Have a meal first, then rest well for a few days. You still need to adjust your studies. As for the company matters, wait until you've settled in before taking over..."

After receiving the butler's message, Shintaro stood up and told them they could stop for now.

Zuo Zhu needs to eat, rest, and there are follow-up arrangements that all need to be prepared anew.

The information left behind was about the 15-year-old Zuo Zhu, but now he's back to 12 years old. It's really necessary to make adjustments.

"Uncle, I can turn into 15 years old. Anyway, I will grow up eventually, so there's no need to bother adjusting my studies."

Sasuke jumped off the sofa and walked to Shintaro's side. The two of them headed towards the restaurant.

Zuo Zhu had also thought about his studies. He didn't want to repeat those unnecessary courses, since he had already obtained many certificates of completion.

Next, as long as he can transform back to his 15-year-old form, he can maintain the transformation when he goes out, and then replenish his nutrition to grow taller when he returns home...

He doesn't need any commemorative gifts; he can simply grow back to his 15-year-old self.

"Won't it be tiring? Adjusting your status isn't difficult..."

Shintaro was more worried about whether Sasuke would get tired; as for studying and the company, those were irrelevant.

Especially with the company, if Zuo Zhu isn't interested for the time being, he can manage it for a few more years without any problem.

"No, I just need to rest for two or three days, and then I'll be fine. Uncle, you've been working too hard lately. Is there something wrong at the company?"

Sasuke washed his hands and came back to sit next to Shintaro. Seeing the darkness in Shintaro's eyes, Sasuke could roughly guess why.

The sudden increase in company management issues, along with his departure, will undoubtedly affect Shintaro's mood.

"Nothing's wrong at the company, it's just that Keith, he injured someone again a few days ago..."

Shintaro remembered that athlete who was famous for his gravity manipulation but seemed to be getting harder and harder to control lately, so he talked to Sasuke about it first.

At least, having Zuo Zhu call that guy would give him a break; if things stay this tense, something bad might really happen.

Those were all promising talents personally selected by Zuo Zhu. If they were lost, it wouldn't just be a financial loss.

"Let's call him now. That guy has probably been provoked by someone who found a weakness in him."

Zuo Zhu took the phone from the butler next to him, found Keith's number, and dialed it.

After a brief two or three-minute phone call, Sasuke handed the phone to the butler, smiled at Shintaro, and the matter was resolved.

"As expected, my words really have no effect."

Shintaro laughed happily, but still complained about how unsuccessful he was in managing these boys.

“It’s not because of my uncle. Someone told Keith that I’m dead, and that I died from exhaustion caused by gravity. I don’t know who came up with this dirty trick. He didn’t care once or twice, but after hearing it so many times, he inevitably started to overthink it.”

Zuo Zhu continued eating, and casually mentioned the reason for Keith's decreased self-control.

In short, the troublemakers succeeded because they knew he wouldn't come out to clarify.

Now, all we need to do is tell Keith that he's alright, and then there won't be any problems at all.

"It's alright now. Take a good rest. After you've rested for a few days, have them all come back. You need to personally assess their growth during this time."

Ignoring the gazes of the others, Shintaro continued talking to Sasuke about the arrangements their company had made for the players they had signed.

However, that will happen a few days later.

Now that Sasuke has just returned, after eating and drinking his fill, he told Sasuke to go and rest.

As for Itachi and Ashura, they, along with Aizen and the others, were arranged to stay in guest rooms. Other arrangements would be made after Sasuke had rested.

Sasuke slept for a whole day, and when he woke up, Itachi Uchiha was sitting by his bedside.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Sasuke looked at Itachi Uchiha, who had a solemn expression, wondering what had happened to him this time.

"Zuozhu, your uncle... in this world, is he your father?"

After receiving information from his butler yesterday, Itachi Uchiha was troubled by the exact nature of the relationship between Sasuke and Shintaro.

His younger brother had become someone else's son, which made him feel very resentful.

But then I thought of Shintaro's caring gaze, his attitude of completely disregarding everything else and focusing solely on ensuring Sasuke's comfort in all his needs...

Perhaps he understood why Sasuke was so relaxed and happy after transferring his bloodline and other attributes to him.

Having received wholehearted care and attention, how could they possibly be willing to suffer injustice?

“Initially, he needed an heir, and I needed a home. I thought it was just a transaction, but later I realized that whether a father loves his children or not is obvious at a glance.”

Sasuke hugged the black cat and laughed happily. He no longer had the blood of the Uchiha clan; he was now a 'person' whose bloodline could not be traced back to any other family.

However, that's not important.

Having blood ties does not necessarily mean having kinship, and having kinship does not necessarily require blood ties.

He was happy, enjoying, and content in this world...

That should do it.

He will continue to live in this world, and occasionally visit other worlds, but this is his home.

As for what will happen in the next few decades...

At worst, we can take a few souls to the world of death.

If Aizen could bring people here using the Hogyoku, he could do the same to bring people there.

But then he remembered that Aizen had become a teacher at Hyotei High School, and that Grimmjow, Ichigo, and Rukia were all attending high school...

Otherwise, would he also take Ashura and Itachi Uchiha to high school?

He was really looking forward to it, to the moment when Atobe and Grimmjow met at school...

Those two arrogant guys, hopefully they won't make too much of a mess of school life.
