After Uchiha Chi left, he had no intention whatsoever of going to the Hokage Building to pay his respects to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Instead, he decided to deliberately stall the matter and push it off until tomorrow. After all, he was tired enough for today, and he just wanted to go straight home and get a good rest.
In fact, back when he had summoned the ninja cat Xiaosa, Uchiha Chi had already precisely informed everyone at home of his exact return time, but he had specifically instructed them not to come out and meet him. After all, upon his return, he first had to head over to Hatake Sakumo, making it hard to predict when he would finally make it back home.
Therefore, the moment Uchiha Chi approached the Uchiha Clan district, he caught sight of his older sister, Uchiha Mikoto, and his fiancée, Uzumaki Rei, standing there waiting for him. Though this came as a slight surprise, upon a moment's reflection, it made complete sense. At the same time, a wave of warmth flooded his heart.
