Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 316 Urging Marriage

I rubbed my slightly sore eyes.

Take out a bottle of eye drops made from White Zetsu cell culture and carefully drop it into his eyes.

A warm feeling slowly spread from his eyes throughout his body.

He felt that his body and chakra had undergone some subtle changes.

Not only has his physical fitness improved significantly, but his pupil power also seems to have been enhanced in some way.

Compared to before, the coldness and sinister feeling have dissipated considerably.

"Soon! In one or two years at most, the changes in my eyes will be complete, and then I can start experimenting with kaleidoscopes!"

"There are also changes in the body. When you use the eye drops, they bring about some changes in the body, but not as significant as the eyes themselves. It seems that the nutrients, or rather, the 'chakra,' are absorbed by the eyes!"

There are changes in his body. Although there are certain improvements in chakra levels, Yang Release, and recovery ability, he can even enter Sage Mode more quickly.

However, this change is somewhat lagging behind the degree of eye movement.

"We still need to increase investment in experiments!"

As the experiment progressed, Toshiro increasingly felt that the money he had, as well as the 'materials' in the prison, were becoming less and less sufficient.

"Should I go and pay a visit to a high-ranking noble or wealthy merchant from the Land of Fire?"

"I've heard that the daimyo of the Land of Fire has recently acquired a favored retainer who seems to be extremely wealthy. I guess I'll have to find some time to visit him!"

He would never do anything like completing tasks and earning commissions. Now that he has his current strength, why not just find a few "easy targets"?

"Toshiro! Are you home?"

Just as he was considering whether he should go find that fat sheep, Uchiha Mika's voice rang out from outside his house.

"What brings you here today, Mika-nee?"

As he opened the door to welcome his guest, Toshiro looked at his 'older sister' with a strange expression. Ever since her child was born, she had devoted almost all her heart to the child.

Even his brother-in-law, Uchiha Akihiro, would complain from time to time that he had become the superfluous person in the family.

"Of course I'm here to see you because it's important!"

Upon arriving at Toshiro's house, Mika Uchiha made no attempt to be polite, taking a sip of the tea Toshiro offered her.

Then he looked Toshiro up and down, and said with apparent satisfaction:

"He's definitely grown up! He's a real man now!"

When Uchiha Mika looked him up and down, Toshiro got goosebumps all over.

At the same time, an uneasy feeling crept into his heart. He felt that he had never felt this uneasy, even when facing the Nine-Tails.

"Here! These are photos of girls of marriageable age in our tribe. Take a look and see if there are any you like!"

"I'll make some arrangements so you two can meet!"

Handing a large stack of photos to Toshiro, Mika Uchiha continued chattering, "Of course, if Toshiro already has a girl he likes, he can let me know in advance so I can make arrangements!"

"Arrangements? Arrange what?"

Toshiro was somewhat surprised. He didn't quite understand for a moment and didn't know what the other party meant by the arrangement.

"Of course, it's marriage!"

Upon hearing Toshiro's question, Mika Uchiha answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"marry?"

Pointing to his nose, Toshiro looked utterly incredulous.

"I'm not even 17 yet. Isn't it too early to talk about marriage?"

Flipping through the photos in his hand and looking at the basic information on them, Toshiro was speechless with frustration.

The people in these photos are all only sixteen or seventeen years old, the same age as high school students in his previous life, yet they are already old enough to be his marriage partners.

One or two of them, in his previous life, would have been executed.

"What's so strange about that?"

"Toshiro is getting old enough to get married!"

"I'm telling you, these girls were all selected by your sister. Within two generations of their families, there are precedents of people awakening the Sharingan. That way, your future children..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Seeing Uchiha Mika getting more and more excited as she talked, even considering his future children, he was really at his wit's end.

"Mika-nee! I don't have any plans to get married so soon..."

He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like to marry a 16 or 7-year-old girl, so he quickly stopped her.

"morning?"

"It's alright! Many members of the family got married around this age, like your Uncle Teppei and Clan Chief Fugaku. They were both under 16 when they got married, and they're doing just fine, aren't they?"

"Or is it that... none of these girls... meet your standards?"

"It's okay if you take a fancy to a girl from the village. Although it might have some impact on the future children's eyesight... the family doesn't object to family members marrying girls from other ethnic groups."

"No... Sister Meixiang is joking. I don't have any special relationship with any girl in the village... I just... don't want to get married so early!"

In this war-torn ninja world, early marriage and childbirth were also a means for various large clans to cope with the brutal casualties among ninjas and to continue their lineage.

The Uchiha clan was no exception.

Many people get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

However, these things were simply unacceptable to Uchiha Toshiro. A high school student becoming his wife... just thinking about it...

Hmm...it seems like this age is not bad either!

That... soft voice, supple body, easy to push over!

It looks pretty good.

"Don't want to get married too early?"

Seeing that Toshiro refused, Mika Uchiha stared at Toshiro and scrutinized him closely.

"You're not still clinging to that childhood dream, are you?"

"Do you... intend to marry a large number of women, or take concubines, like those nobles?"

Most adult men in one's own family are devoted to one's feelings; at most, they may waver between familial and romantic love.

Is this the beginning of a lecherous man?
