Kuuya Ayano's parents were ordinary people, and their only wish for him was that he marry and have children soon, then live a steady, peaceful life.
Kuuya Ayano, who had always had terrible luck with girls, found this a tall order.
One day, a Learning System appeared out of nowhere and told him he could bind to a target and learn from them.
Kuuya's eyes lit up.
That Uchiha in the neighboring class who's especially popular with girls? You're the one!
Let me learn your flirting techniques!
On the first day of binding to Uchiha,
Kuuya was full of fighting spirit, then spent the whole evening practicing shuriken throwing with him.
The next day, Kuuya practiced ninjutsu all evening.
The third day...
In just one month, Kuuya's ninjutsu skills improved by leaps and bounds. The villagers started calling him a civilian genius with no bloodline limit.
Everyone was curious how he had become so impressive.
Kuuya Ayano: Oh, because where none of you can see, I've been working myself to the bone against a total grind machine.
Sasuke had the same dream every night. In it, he could train at full power, practicing all day and continuing through the night, doubling his efficiency.
There was always a training partner in his dreams. At first, he couldn't make out the face, but over time the features grew clearer.
After he left Konoha, the face of his dream training partner finally came into full view.
It was Kuuya Ayano, once hailed as a genius alongside him.
Kuuya stopped him. But instead of asking him to return to Konoha, he said:
"Bro, please, can you go out with someone?"
Sasuke, expressionless: "I'm not interested in you."
Kuuya Ayano: ?
Kuuya Ayano: Who said I wanted to date you?!
