Chapter 20
"Goodbye!"
It was the end of the school day, and Sasuke, carrying his bag, said goodbye to his classmates at the school gate. He walked along the stream, singing happily back to the Uchiha compound.
He paused.
There were no scenes of massacre as in another timeline. The Uchiha compound was still bustling and lively.
Sasuke didn't notice the cold, lurking eyes hidden in the dark forest or the solemn expressions on the faces of the guards at the gate. The street vendors selling tri-color dango were still busy with customers. Sasuke squeezed through the crowd, using his pocket money to buy two sticks.
Bang!
The door swung open.
"Brother, guess what I bought for you?"
The boy held up two sticks of dango, but his excited tone did not receive the expected response.
