Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 317 Preparation

It's surprising that Uchiha Mika would pull this stunt.

The source of the trouble still lies in the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage.

As he miraculously intercepted the Nine-Tails, his battle robe also became famous.

From time to time, it would also attract some slightly strange looks from other families.

It's rare for one of Konoha's top clans to have such a scandalous affair; these people are probably quite pleased with it.

These things could not escape the notice of the family's senior management. These old-fashioned and highly sensitive seniors could not tolerate this!

However, they also knew that it was better to guide than to block, so they had Uchiha Mika take these photos to Toshiro.

"Could it be... that Toshiro... doesn't like these...too young people?"

"Do you prefer someone...more mature?"

Seeing that Uchiha Toshiro repeatedly refused, and even after only glancing at the photos in his hand, he lost interest, Uchiha Mika narrowed her eyes, and her gaze towards Toshiro became somewhat ambiguous.

"Cough cough cough! Sister Meixiang...you're really overthinking it!"

"Well... I still have some official business to attend to at the prison, so I'll be going now!"

Being stared at like that, he had the unsettling feeling of being a criminal facing the police. He even abandoned his newly acquired Flying Thunder God Technique and prepared to make a run for it.

"prison?"

Narrowing her eyes, Uchiha Mika's beautiful eyes were fixed on Toshiro's eyes, radiating a burning gossip-fueled light.

"Hmm... Chie, that girl, is outstanding in the family in both looks and figure."

"You're going to be in a place like prison, do you have feelings for her?"

The fact that Toshiro could stay in a shabby place like a prison for several days suggests that this is probably true.

"Although... Chie is a bit older and has had children, she's only around twenty. That's good; a woman like her knows how to take care of others!"

"When I came here, the family elders hinted to me that if I had any unusual fetishes, there were plenty of young and beautiful widows in the family right now!"

"Besides... you don't need to take too much responsibility for these women!"

Mika Uchiha looked at Toshiro with the eyes of someone looking at a criminal, as if trying to see through Toshiro's true thoughts.

Although she disliked some of the family's practices, there was nothing she could do about it; that's just how things were in the Bloodstained Family.

Especially a genius with outstanding talent like Toshiro.

Chie is also a good choice; she's beautiful and capable, and taking care of Toshiro's 'life' shouldn't be a problem. As for whether he'll be willing, that depends on her abilities.

"...I'm leaving now!"

Are all married women with children this unscrupulous?

Feeling quite embarrassed by Mika Uchiha's inappropriate remarks, Toshiro hurriedly fled his house.

"Pfft..."

Seeing Uchiha Toshiro flee in disarray, Uchiha Mika, who had just been calm and collected, suddenly burst out laughing.

Although the opponent is now much stronger and has grown a lot, in her eyes, he is still that shy little brat from back then, and hasn't changed at all.

Toshiro, who had escaped from his home, was terrified to face forced marriage at such a young age, not even seventeen.

'No, I need to find a place to have a drink to calm my nerves!'

……

In Konoha, mornings awaken in the embrace of sunlight, the pale dawn glowing like a poem or a painting, gently dyeing the horizon orange-red.

The rising sun breaks through the horizon, its rays shining brightly, casting warm sunlight upon the earth and illuminating all things in the world.

Early risers begin their day, morning exercisers work up a sweat on the training field, and street vendors busily prepare for the day's livelihood.

Familiar greetings and laughter echoed in the air, infusing the morning with the breath of life.

As time went by, the sun rose higher and higher, and the morning glow gradually faded.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground. The creatures of the forest begin to stir, foraging and playing in the sunlight, enjoying the crisp morning air.

This morning in Konoha was so beautiful. Sunshine, rosy dawn, forest, the breath of life, and the passage of time intertwined, like a beautiful painting. Every detail was filled with the power of life and hope, bringing joy to the heart.

"Chie, I'm leaving the prison matters to you. I need to prepare for some training matters in the next few days, so I won't be able to take care of things here."

Time passed slowly, and it had been more than a year since Uchiha Mika last spoke to him.

It's almost the end of Konoha's fiftieth year.

And it was about time for him to prepare for the awakening of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Starting two months ago, the eye drops became less and less effective in improving his eyesight, until last month when they stopped working at all.

However, the improvement in physical condition is still progressing slowly.

"Toshiro! You..."

Compared to a year ago, Uchiha Chie hasn't changed much, except that she now calls Toshiro "Toshiro" instead of "Warden of the Prison".

"It's alright! This time... it should be a good thing!"

He didn't explain anything to the other party. The other party hadn't even activated the Sharingan, and the Mangekyou Sharingan was simply out of reach for them.

After saying this, Toshiro ignored the other person's reaction and left Konoha Prison directly.

For more than a year, he had not paid attention to the changes in his clan, the village, or the ninja world. He didn't even pay much attention to Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi, graduating from the Ninja Academy early.

He focused all his energy on how to better utilize chakra to stimulate brain nerves and amplify emotional fluctuations, as well as developing new drugs.

It's about time they started to bear fruit.

Over the next few days, he would relax and soothe his tense nerves before trying out the new way of opening his eyes that he had developed.

Chakra control, medicinal bath stimulation, genjutsu assistance, sealing technique enhancement—it's unknown whether the final result will be as desired.

The Third Hokage had already learned of his mastery of Sage Mode, so it was time to add another trump card to his portfolio. Furthermore, as Naruto and Sasuke grew older, a sense of urgency constantly urged him to strengthen himself to better prepare for future changes.
