Neji's attention was shifted away from the men-oriented literature. "The last time he wrote, he only asked for my current address. I wonder what he wants this time?" He read the letter's content.

"So, what did he say?" asked Tenten eagerly.

"Ah… He said that… WAIT JUST A MOMENT! Why do I need to give an account of it to you?" he demanded, keeping the letter behind him.

"Because I love to gossip?" Tenten, with a shrug.

"Well, guess what? I'm NOT telling. It is my letter!" Neji possessively tightened his grip on the stationery.

"Touchy." Tenten proceeded to clear dining table.

"Kuya Neji, what did Father say in his letter?" asked Hinata.

Her cousin's eyes narrowed at her. "What, you love to gossip as well?"

Hinata blushed. "Kuya, it's only natural that I feel concerned. Father is my kin."

"Heh. Ok, so you gossipers will be happy, Uncle just said that he already knows my address," announced Neji.

Disbelieving looks from both women.

"But I've seen four paragraphs! Don't tell me all of those were questions!" said Naruto from behind.

"So what?" Neji snapped.

"Tee-hee!" Naruto used his quick reflexes to take the letter from Neji's hand, then read it out loud. "'Neji, my nephew who is the only one in the world… how are you? How is my daughter Hinata? How is my adopted son Naruto? How is the weather? How is the gate? How is everything?'"

Neji faced Hinata, eyebrow cocked. "I see Uncle's still meticulous."

Naruto continued to read the rest of the letter. "'Anyway, don't answer me anymore. I do not care. I do not care about you. I do not care about Hinata. I do not care about Naruto. I do not give a damn about the house, and the garden, the food, the dog…'"

"Pardon my rudeness to your family member, but I think your uncle has gone nuts," commented Tenten to Neji.

"O-Oh, I'm very sorry, Miss Tenten," apologized Hinata quickly. "I'm sorry for Father…It's just that sometimes—-"

"At least now I now someone's loose bolts wasn't by coincidence. It's hereditary," added the brown-haired woman, chuckling.

"Damn you." Neji.

"'Anyway, enough eliminations…'"

"Don't you mean preliminaries?" asked Tenten.

"Comprehend it as you please," said Neji, sighing. "Uncle is a Frustrated English teacher."

"Really? I think so, too," she said, scratching her head.

"He's also a frustrated ballet dancer," informed the male Hyuuga, "and a frustrated TV Idol. Frustrated gigolo, frustrated balut vendor, frustrated singer, frustrated pilot, frustrated flight stewardess… he's very frustrated in life."

Tenten's eyes widened. "Oh… how… frustrating…"

"'Neji, your cousin had just married, and soon she would have a baby. That baby would be my grandson, and I would be his grandpa. It touches the very bottom inside me—'"

A snicker, unmistakably from Tenten.

"'- but I am still unhappy, because of knowing the knowledge that you are alone and single in your life. That is why I, being the clan head, am ordering you to show me proof of evidence beyond unreasonable doubt that you intend to make me a grandpa of your future kids. I summarize in one question: Do you have balls?'"

Neji's face darkened.
