Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 122 Mikoto: Sasuke is your son, so what am I?

Congratulations, Lin!

On the streets of Konoha, Kurenai looked at Rin with envy, but sincerely offered her congratulations.

The same was true for Uzuki Yugao behind her. Although Yugao was not the same age as them, she was technically their contemporary.

Just like Hayate Gekko and Iruka, they can also get along well.

"It's really nothing, isn't it? Mute it?"

Her congratulations made Hongdou, who was eating meatballs, purse her lips and then look at Jingyin.

"Besides, I heard Orochimaru-sensei say that Lady Tsunade seems to have some bad habits, right?"

"Um, this..."

Jingyin gave an awkward laugh; she really didn't know how to evaluate her teacher.

Seeing her friend and old classmate Jingyin like this, Hong was momentarily at a loss for words.

One of them was Orochimaru's disciple, and the other was Tsunade's disciple. Rin was originally the Fourth Hokage's disciple.

This configuration left Hong speechless.

"Alright, Kurenai, don't listen to what they say. I feel really lucky to be a disciple of Lady Tsunade and the Hokage."

Seeing Hong's appearance, Lin couldn't help but smile and shake her head, then she looked at the light beside her.

"But if we're really talking about it, the most amazing one is Ying. I'm still far behind her."

"Um?"

Guang, who had been listening to their idle chatter without saying a word, suddenly found herself in the conversation, and for a moment she didn't even realize it.

"That's right, we are indeed far inferior to Ying."

Hongdou then took over the conversation; Hongdou is naturally outgoing.

Although she and Hikari are considered friends, they are not classmates. In everyone's perception, Hikari was trained by the Uchiha clan.

However, she could still put her arm around Guang's shoulder without any hindrance, showing absolutely no sense of unfamiliarity.

Looking at the light with some confusion, she suddenly grinned mischievously.

"She's not only incredibly skilled, but she's also a step ahead of all of us!"

"Leading in what?"

Guang also had a good impression of Hongdou and knew about the girl's personality.

Although she wasn't as gentle as Lin, Guang didn't resist her natural warmth and friendliness, so she smiled and asked.

"Of course, it's a haori."

Hongdou's mischievous smile widened even more as she leaned against the light and said with a grin.

"Although I didn't feel anything when I was in the Land of Whirlpools, now that guy is incredibly powerful, and he's extremely popular at school!"

So now you've won her over. I heard you two are even living together. Isn't that a head start?

Hongdou herself didn't feel anything when she said those words, but Hong, Shizune, and Rin, and even Uzuki Yugao who was following behind them like a nobody, all blushed.

After all, the youngest of them is already thirteen years old, an age at which they should understand many things.

"That's true, Ying is indeed far ahead."

However, Hong quickly recovered and joined in the teasing.

"Haori is an exceptionally talented person. She was already very popular at school, and now she's even more amazing. I really envy you."

"Indeed, Asuma is quite inferior to Yui."

Hongdou nodded again, which immediately made Hong glare at her.

Hikari was the same; she never expected that even after dodging the haori, she would still hear someone blowing on it.

That girl isn't as good as you think; she's an excessive and somewhat perverted person!

Guang couldn't help but complain in her heart, but when she thought about the engagement, she became somewhat silent.

Although neither of them said it, it seems they've basically reached this point.

"By the way, Anko, I heard you teamed up with Hagoromo in the Land of Whirlpools. How did he perform back then?"

While Hikari was still struggling with her thoughts, Shizune couldn't help but look at Akako with curiosity.

She left Konoha with Tsunade quite early, so there were many things she hadn't experienced, which made her very curious.

"That guy wasn't as powerful back in the Land of Whirlpools as he is now, but he was very good at inspiring people."

Upon hearing Jingyin's words, Hongdou immediately started laughing and talking too.

However, although she said that Yuzhi wasn't that good back then, when she actually talked about it, it was a completely different story.

According to her account, their team's performance when they formed a group could only be described as "a great achievement".

If Prime Minister Wang heard this, he would probably change his poem to "A giant mushroom shoots straight into the air, a long pit sinks into the setting sun on the plain."

"No... this doesn't seem to be the same version I heard?"

Hikaru listened in stunned silence. She had asked Hagoromo to recount all her experiences, including her encounters in the Land of Whirlpools.

According to Yuzhi himself, he wasn't strong enough at that time.

Therefore, he often suffered setbacks, and if he hadn't run fast, he would have been buried in the Land of Whirlpools long ago.

But after hearing Anko's account, Hikaru really had a misconception—was this really a haori?

Seeing that Hong, Jingyin, and even the junior she didn't know were all listening with great interest, Guang could only purse her lips and remain silent.

Alright, anyway, Yuzhi can actually do that level now, or even better.

"fluorescent."

Just as Guang was mentally complaining, Lin suddenly took her arm and whispered a question in her ear.

"When are you and Yuri getting engaged?"

"Um?"

When Guang heard Lin's words, he almost rolled his eyes. Why is it happening again?

"It should be soon."

However, she subconsciously replied with a sentence, but she was stunned as soon as she said it.

No, why would I say that?

Although Guang had already acknowledged her feelings for him, there were some things she wouldn't lie to herself about.

But that guy Yuzhi is too much and too perverted. Most importantly, he didn't even say anything, so why should I say it like that?

"Is that so?"

Lin blinked, and for a moment it was unclear what she was thinking. After a while, she continued to smile.

"Looks like I should prepare gifts for you guys in advance."

"You'd better not rush."

Guang gave a soft hum, then spoke in a low voice.

"Who knows when that will happen? Besides, that guy went too far; I might not even agree to him!"

"Why?"

Lin glanced at Guang with a puzzled look, then, as if she had discovered some secret, she lowered her voice and asked with great curiosity.

"Is that too much? I don't think Haori-kun has ever been a particularly unreasonable person in my memory."

That's because you didn't live with that jerk!

He glanced at Lin beside him and couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

This guy used to just look around, but now he's actually doing it. Who knows what will happen if this continues?

"The best time between people is indeed when they first meet."

After holding it in for a long time, I finally couldn't help but blurt out this sentence.

"Haori-kun, what on earth did she do?"

Lin was even more curious. She saw that Izumitsu didn't seem to dislike Haori at all, but those words seemed to come from someone who had been holding back for a long time.

As a friend, Lin naturally wanted to share it with her, and at the same time, she also wanted to satisfy her own little curiosity.

She was genuinely curious and wanted to learn more about Yuzhi.

"It's not what he did, but rather that some of his habits are very bad."

After hesitating for a long time, Hikaru was ultimately unsure whether he wanted to expose the "evil" of the haori or vent his own emotions.

Or perhaps she wanted others to know about Yuzhi's flaws so they wouldn't overthink it, she whispered, picking out one of Yuzhi's problems.

"That guy seems to have a particular interest in girls' legs; he's a really wicked fellow."

"Is this a fetish?"

Lin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she suddenly lowered her head and looked at something.

After a while, her face also turned slightly red.

"You have such a fetish?"

-

"Tsunade, do you have an answer?"

In a laboratory in the medical department, Jiraiya suddenly pushed open the door with a loud bang.

His action startled Tsunade, who was intently examining the data in the laboratory.

"Damn it, can't you watch yourself?"

A "well" shape seemed to appear on Tsunade's forehead as she glared at Jiraiya without any politeness.

She could tolerate others a little, after all, she was one of the Three Ninjas.

However, the fact that she didn't retaliate against that bastard Jiraiya was truly out of consideration for their past relationship.

"It won't be that fast. These things need to be compared and checked before we can get the results."

And you bastard, with so many questions, why don't you just go and drag Orochimaru out and ask him directly, instead of bothering me?

Don't you know how much I have to do right now?

"Um, sorry."

Seeing Tsunade so angry, Jiraiya felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but scratch his head.

He was well aware that Tsunade had a lot on her plate, as she needed to investigate the issues with the Uchiha clan.

Jiraiya had heard Minato say that Konoha's purpose in bringing Tsunade back was precisely this, and now the situation was becoming increasingly urgent.

After all, he had personally faced those two mysterious people who were suspected to be "Uchiha Madara" and "Uchiha Izuna".

He also witnessed the terrifying Wood Release technique, which he still cannot forget to this day, a technique that blots out the sky and seems capable of destroying everything.

However, compared to these matters, his biggest doubt and confusion still lay with Orochimaru.

Tsunade and Orochimaru were the greatest and most cherished people in his heart, besides pursuing and fulfilling the prophecy of Mount Myōboku.

"Alright, stop making such a fuss."

Tsunade rubbed her temples; she was in a very bad mood.

However, she quickly straightened her expression and looked at Jiraiya with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Also, although we are now waiting for the results, I need to ask you a question."

You have to take this seriously, understand?

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on with Tsunade.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking you, do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Seeing Tsunade like this, Jiraiya knew that if he didn't take it seriously, he probably wouldn't get through so easily.

So he simply nodded, though he felt somewhat uneasy at the time.

Could it be that those test tubes contained something unpleasant?

"Are you sure those test tubes were obtained from Orochimaru's lab?"

As if in response to Jiraiya's thoughts, Tsunade also asked her own question at this moment.

"this."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, and the unease in his heart suddenly intensified.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke.

"If there are no mistakes, that laboratory should still belong to Orochimaru."

Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that he gave the lab to someone else, after all, I left Konoha too.

"You've only been gone for six months."

Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya before he could finish speaking.

"Before you left, did that laboratory belong to Orochimaru?"

Also, did you confirm this with Minato last night?

"Yes, before leaving."

Jiraiya also realized that something seemed amiss, and his expression immediately turned serious.

"I've also confirmed with Minato that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, that lab still belongs to Orochimaru."

Of course, we don't know if there were any changes behind the scenes, after all, Orochimaru and Danzo were very close.

Tsunade, I want an answer now. What exactly happened?

"Let's wait and see, maybe I've made a mistake."

Faced with Jiraiya's request, Tsunade ultimately shook her head, because the matter was too egregious and too serious!

Although the test tubes that Jiraiya brought back last night were all empty, the traces left inside them were not properly removed.

Inside one of the test tubes, Tsunade sensed an aura that was incredibly familiar to her!

That was the aura of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju!

In that instant, Tsunade had an uneasy feeling. Was Orochimaru trying to conduct an experiment on her grandfather?

Tsunade actually knew that the experiments on her great-grandfather had started a long time ago, and that her second great-grandfather was the first to conduct the experiments.

It's just that these experiments didn't yield good results; even the Senju clan had no successful cases.

Therefore, whether it was to avoid disturbing Hashirama Senju's slumber or to prevent further damage, Tobirama Senju decisively stopped the experiment.

To her utter surprise, she found her great-grandfather's scent inside a small test tube!

"You bastard Orochimaru, what are you doing?"

Although she was quite certain in her heart, Tsunade still decided to examine it carefully first.

No matter what, Orochimaru will always be her best friend, and that will never change!

Furthermore, because of her grandfather's presence, Tsunade had to carefully examine the other test tubes as well.

However, a somewhat uneasy thought crept into her mind; she wondered if what was already stored in those test tubes might be...

Just as Tsunade was feeling worried, the equipment on her lab bench suddenly stopped, and she immediately stood up and went over to it.

"it's over?"

Jiraiya saw this and immediately followed, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise as Tsunade was conducting some examinations.

He had absolutely no idea how to do these things, so he could only stare blankly.

But as he saw Tsunade's expression growing increasingly grim, a terrible thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Has Orochimaru really gotten himself into trouble?

"Okay, it's over."

Tsunade clenched her fists at that moment, turned her head to look at Jiraiya, her eyes filled with anger.

"What happened?"

When Jiraiya saw Tsunade like this, he immediately realized that something terrible had happened.

Although Tsunade may seem unreliable most of the time, when it comes to something truly important, she is absolutely the most trustworthy and reliable person.

Even Jiraiya realized that the problem was much more serious than he had imagined, given her current state.

"Tell the old man and Shuimen, we need to meet them."

"What happened?"

Seeing Tsunade like this, Jiraiya really couldn't bear it anymore.

You'll find out soon enough.

Tsunade shook her head, then gave a wry smile.

"Indeed, the best time between people is when they first meet."

-

"You sewer rat!"

"Where did you come from, you lunatic?"

"You thief who stole Obito's eyes!"

Obito stood on a telephone pole, his gaze fixed on the distant restaurant filled with laughter and chatter, but his mind was filled with images of Haori, Hikaru, Shisui, and even Kakashi's past mockery of him.

And his arm, which had been replaced countless times, was now too worn out to even count the number of times.

He was instantly enraged!

"Did you really think I'd forgotten about you?"

Obito clenched his fist slightly. He admitted that he hadn't been focused on this aspect lately, after all, he had encountered too many messy things.

Especially that damned 'Obito,' who might be from the future, made him feel an indescribable sense of crisis.

And a sense of pride that he himself couldn't quite explain.

Was I really that strong?

Even though Obito didn't want to admit it at all, it gave him a sense of satisfaction and excitement, and he couldn't help but think about something.

If it is indeed myself, then why would he treat my "past self" so badly?

"Could it be because I haven't tried hard enough? Or is it because I've always been outmatched by Hagoromo that this is happening?"

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Obito realized that this was something he could actually do!

If it were him, and he were to accidentally travel back in time, he would definitely take a hard hit at his past self, because he hadn't won against his past self for a very long time.

"Damn you, Yuri! It's all your fault, all of you're to blame!"

Obito's fists hardened, especially when he saw Haori, who was surrounded by admirers and was incredibly popular wherever she went. He felt his breathing become rapid.

He kept reminding himself that this was a false world, a world that had no meaning whatsoever.

The problem is that this fake world is full of people he wants to contain, people he wants to resurrect in his "real world".

This group of "fake people," wearing the faces of those Obito cared about, kept acting very close to Hagoromo.

No matter how strong Obito's heart was, he was really on the verge of breaking down.

"Why him?!"

Obito saw that Haori suddenly stood up in the hotel room, then took out a wrapped gift box and handed it to Rin.

Lin's face was beaming with happiness, whether from the heart or from the lighting, and her face even turned slightly red.

But Obito really couldn't stand it anymore. He turned away, breathing heavily, refusing to look at this damned scene.

"It's all fake, fake!"

He kept muttering to himself, and a slight determination had already formed in his heart. He really felt that he had to do something!

"I can't let these fake people influence me anymore. Only in 'Minecraft' is everything real."

However, these fake people weren't entirely useless; they did have a good relationship with Uchiha Haori.

The thought of how that "fake" Rin looked when facing Haori made Obito's heart ache.

Even if it's fake, you can't keep using Lin's appearance!

"This is a desecration of Lin."

Obito's aura gradually grew colder, and suddenly a killing intent surged within his heart.

"This is also a test for me!"

Although he has left Konoha and is about to completely leave this world, upon reflection, there seems to be one thing he has never truly accomplished.

That is, to sever the ties that bind you to this false world!

In this world, no one really dies.

Kakashi didn't kill Rin with his own hands, and Minato and his wife didn't die on the night of the Nine-Tails. It can be said that everyone who once surrounded Obito is still alive.

Obito no longer accepts this world, but some people and events in this world still have an unintentional influence on him.

These influences won't change his mind, but their existence seems to be a major weakness for him!

"I didn't want to pay any attention to you, and I wanted them to leave this false world quietly in the end, but you've gotten too close to Uchiha Haori."

Obito murmured to himself, his aura growing colder and colder along with the increasingly enthusiastic laughter behind him.

After a long silence, he finally made his decision!

"Now that it's decided, I must sever this world. This is a true test for me."

His eyes were bloodshot at that moment, and he had made up his mind!

"Perfect timing. Orochimaru is probably leaving Konoha soon, so I'll make some plans."

Orochimaru leaving Konoha will certainly not be a simple matter; once he disappears, the entire village will be in turmoil.

And such a chaotic Konoha is perfect for him to do something!

If he seizes the opportunity, he will surely be able to sever some ties with this world, which will be a more thorough liberation for him.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Obito was slightly taken aback, because he felt that his eyes seemed to have become even stronger.

The abundant Yin energy bloomed in his eyes and then spread throughout his body.

This change gave him a jolt of energy, and he suddenly realized that his understanding and control of Kamui and the Sharingan had improved once again!

"The Uchiha clan really needs to sever these pointless bonds in order to truly become stronger."

Obito clenched his fist, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

The world has changed, and it's time to turn the page.

-

"That's strange, why did Lin look at me like that just now?"

Under the moonlight, as he sat on the sofa at home, Yuzhi recalled the look Rin gave him at the party, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The dinner party tonight is over, and everyone had a great time.

Yuzhi was no exception. Besides, although this meal seemed to be Lin's doing, it was actually him inviting everyone to enjoy a good time.

But Lin's gaze towards him always made him feel strange; that gaze was sometimes very similar to how Guang looked at him.

The difference is that while Guang would genuinely see him as a pervert, Lin's eyes didn't seem to convey that feeling.

"You're mistaken. Lin seems perfectly normal."

Haori didn't hide her words from anyone, and Hikaru, who was sitting next to her, naturally heard them clearly, which made her stick out her tongue quietly.

After thinking for a moment, she gave a soft hum and spoke to Yuzhi.

"Maybe Lin noticed because you were looking around while you were eating?"

"I didn't look at anything randomly."

Yuzhi tilted his head and stretched.

"Besides, it's you who's looking at it, so what?"

"snort."

Guang shook his head, seemingly agreeing with this statement.

However, she noticed that Yuzhi's eyes were looking at her again, so she immediately composed herself, pretended to be very natural, and then asked.

"By the way, what gift did you give Lin?"

"A gift?"

When Haori heard this question, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, I didn't know what to give at first, but it wouldn't be good to give nothing, right?"

Finally, Kakashi suggested that since we've already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, we might as well give our own Flying Thunder God Kunai to Rin.

Although I don't think it's very useful, I can still sense that she's using Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.

But it's the thought that counts, so I gave her my Flying Thunder God kunai as a gift, hoping she wouldn't mind.

Speaking of this, even Yuzhi herself felt a little embarrassed.

His Flying Thunder God Kunai were all made on the spot; he didn't have them custom-made like Minato and Kakashi.

Although Kakashi has only just learned and mastered it, and can't even be considered proficient in using it, he still ordered kunai just like Minato.

With just a haori, you can simply pick up a kunai, stamp a spell on it, and then use it.

Its main advantage is its convenience and speed, but giving it away as a gift would seem a bit stingy.

"Flying Thunder God?"

Hearing this answer made her fall into deep thought again, and for some reason, her thoughts about the Flying Thunder God suddenly became much stronger.

Originally, Yuzhi had asked her to learn this technique, and she had agreed, but she had been busy with other things lately, so it had been delayed.

However, she can now think about it properly. Although she still has a lot to do, such as the Lava Release that Yuzhi asked her to develop, and the Dragon Vein Chakra that she is about to seal.

She has gained considerable experience and mastery of one of the most important steps in the Flying Thunder God Technique—the sealing technique.

"Now, these items should also learn from the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Hmm? Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Yuzhi was taken aback by her words, and then asked in a strange, low voice.

"No, you have the energy to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique right now? You have plenty of things to do."

"Lava Release isn't difficult, especially with the Four-Tails' chakra; my progress is quite fast."

Hikaru tilted her head and looked at Hagoromo, then chuckled in a low voice.

"I have also completed the Burning Shield, and the Burning Shield has brought about an impact and enhancement on my bloodline, which has further improved my strength and even made some progress in my control over my own chakra."

This will be of some help to my sealing techniques, and I also have the notes that Kushina gave me. She also taught me a lot step by step, so I should be able to seal the dragon veins and tailed beasts now.

So, I think it wouldn't be a problem to spend some time on Flying Thunder God Technique, and besides, you can teach me, right?

You're a real superman.

Yuzhi listened to Hikaru's words in disbelief, and for a moment he felt more and more that the genius was really too terrifying!

If it weren't for the certainty that the chakra reincarnations of Indra and Ashura only pass on to their successors after death, he would have really made a 'reasonable deduction'.

"But speaking of which, do you really want me to seal the Nine-Tails' chakra as well?"

She watched as Yuzhi remained silent, wondering what he was thinking. Then she whispered.

"Won't the little fox's food supply be enough?"

"Don't worry, he won't run out of food. I've already asked him."

Although Yuzhi was still a little puzzled, he nodded immediately when asked about the light.

The little guy's food supply is fine; Yuzhi actually confirmed this, after all, he didn't want the little guy to suffer from stunted growth.

Even though he was already underdeveloped, after all, strictly speaking, he was only half his normal size.

However, unlike the original work, the Nine-Tails is not simply a Yin or Yang attribute; ultimately, it's because Minato didn't have the opportunity to make a precise cut.

But this is a good thing for Haori and the little Nine-Tails, since no one wants this power to be incomplete.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Haori reached out and embraced Hikari, then lowered her head and smiled.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

"Is it getting late?"

She glanced at the hand around her waist, then looked up at the time.

It's only nine o'clock now, how can you say it's not early?

But when she turned around and noticed Yuzhi's gaze, she suddenly remembered how he had clung to her and slept on the sofa like a spoiled child, and her face immediately turned red.

"What are you thinking, you bastard! I'm warning you, don't go too far!"

"I'm a very law-abiding person, when have I ever gone too far?"

Yuzhi shamelessly put on an innocent expression, which made Hikaru laugh in anger.

You? Follow the rules? When did you go too far?

You've already done far too many outrageous things!

If we include the Uchiha clan, their crimes would be too numerous to list.

In Guang's opinion, the worst thing this guy did was kill someone and then try to adopt that person's son as his godson.

Is this really something a human being could do?

"Knock knock knock"

Just as Hikari was inwardly complaining, she suddenly heard a knock on the door, which gave her a chance to escape from Hagoromo's embrace.

"Let me go, someone's here, I'll go open the door."

Without saying a word, Hikaru blushed and broke free from the protection of the haori, then quickly ran to the gate.

But when she opened the door, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, because she discovered that the person who came in was none other than that kid, Shisui—

"You've come at a very inopportune time!"

"Sorry, senior."

Walking along the road leading to the former clan chief's residence, Yuzhi glared fiercely at Shisui.

Shisui simply scratched his head awkwardly, without offering any rebuttal.

In his opinion, his two seniors, Hagoromo and Hikaru, would most likely do something embarrassing at night, so his interruption was indeed a bit inappropriate.

It's just that Haori and Hikaru are really good at skipping things!

Ever since Yuri said to the light, "Let's have a child," Shisui has been secretly working on something.

A month ago, the former clan chief's wife expressed her wishes, which means that she will support Yuzhi to become the new clan chief!

Although Shisui understood that even without Lady Mikoto's support, Haori would have easily obtained everything he wanted.

But who could refuse a better legal environment?

But the result was that this senior seemed to have completely forgotten about it, even though she had mentioned it to him.

But he didn't seem to care too much, and instead became engrossed in his cultivation, which troubled Shisui somewhat.

He heard today that Yuzhi was going to attend a party, which gave him an opportunity, so he waited for the two of them to come back and then ran to get them!

Strictly speaking, it should be Mikoto who visits Haori, but since she is the former clan chief's wife, it would be better for Haori to come instead.

Fortunately, Yuri didn't seem to care too much, and Hikaru was even more eager for this guy to get out, which is why we have this scene now.

"Senior, we've arrived."

"Um."

Before long, the two of them arrived at Mikoto's residence.

Looking at the large house in front of her, Yuzhi was momentarily dazed.

It seems he hasn't been here for a long time, and the last time he came here, Fugaku Uchiha was still alive.

Has this guy been dead for over two years already without us even realizing it?

But this guy really deserved to die!

"Then I won't bother you any longer, senior. I'll take my leave now."

"Um"

While Yuri was still somewhat dazed, Shisui suddenly whispered something to him. By the time he realized what was happening, Shisui had already turned to Jun.

This left Yuzhi somewhat dumbfounded, as if meeting Mikoto was something shameful.

He shook his head and simply walked inside.

He wasn't familiar with this former clan head's residence; after all, he usually just came here to drink tea with Uchiha Fugaku in the pavilion.

Fortunately, the servants inside recognized her, and they immediately led her inside with the haori.

"Haori-sama."

When he arrived in the living room, Mikoto rushed over shortly afterward.

"No need to be so polite."

Yuri was looking around the living room when he saw Mikoto come over, and he just said something casually.

However, he also noticed something: Mikoto came alone.

And judging from her somewhat flustered appearance, she didn't seem to have expected to come back.

"Where's Sasuke? I don't see him."

"he"

Mikoto stared at the haori in front of her, momentarily stunned.

Because she herself didn't expect that Yuzhi would come at this time!

She had already made a decision after meeting Kushina, since she could see many things clearly.

Moreover, she herself was once an excellent ninja, so she naturally understands many right and wrong.

What puzzled her was that after she revealed too much about herself to Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Xiu, it seemed as if Yuu was playing a joke, and she showed no intention of coming over at all.

More than a month passed, and just when she thought there might be no follow-up to this matter, this guy actually came over late at night?

Fortunately, she was good at controlling her emotions. After taking a deep breath, she slowly opened her mouth.

"Sasuke is in his room, already asleep, but I'll go and bring him out."

"Since they're asleep, let's just go and take a look together."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi thought for a moment, then simply shook her head and said.

"It's not easy for kids to fall asleep, so don't wake him up."

Yuzhi remembered how terrible it was for a child to be woken up, and he really didn't want to recall that feeling.

Mikoto paused for a moment upon hearing this, and her gaze towards Haori changed slightly.

No, that's my room.

Although she was feeling down, Mikoto nodded and led the way, knowing that things wouldn't be good if Sasuke started crying.

"By the way, are you alone?"

Following behind Mikoto, Haori looked around the clan chief's residence. Perhaps to avoid making the atmosphere too dull, he suddenly asked a question.

"Where's Itachi Uchiha? Isn't he home?"

"Um"

Mikoto nodded, and sighed as she spoke of her beloved eldest son.

"He doesn't come home all the time now, and he won't tell me what he's doing. This child..."

However, his skills are improving rapidly, and I think he will become an excellent ninja.

"Maybe."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi shook his head slightly; he hadn't really paid much attention to Itachi Uchiha's situation.

After all, he had no intention of interfering since he was raising gu with Danzo. But now this guy doesn't even care about his own brother anymore?

"So how are you all doing now? Is everything alright?"

"I really have to thank you, everything is fine for us now."

Mikoto nodded, and for once, she smiled in front of Haori; the smile was full of gratitude.

That's really what she thought. Although she had experienced many unpleasant things, Haori's keeping of her promise left a deep impression on her.

Her life is going by very quickly now, and she knows that all of this is thanks to Yuzhi.

"That's good."

Yuzhi smiled, and soon they arrived at a room.

The room was much simpler than I had imagined, with only a wardrobe, a bed, and a bookshelf, on which were quite a few books.

There was also a small cradle in the scene, where one-year-old Sasuke was sleeping soundly.

"By the way, why did you name him Sasuke?"

Looking at her child, Mikoto suddenly asked curiously.

"I've wanted to ask you this for a while, but I haven't had the chance. Can you tell me now?"

Because his original name was Sasuke, and I've been watching it for over ten years, I'm not used to changing it!

Yu Zhi mentally scoffed, but he still gave a casual answer.

"Maybe I like this name."

"If you give him this name, what will your child be named?"

Mikoto was somewhat surprised. Did this guy already have this idea back then?

"Won't he be my son in the future?"

Yuri shrugged and then spoke casually.

Besides, I won't be the one to name it; someone else will.

Yuzhi pursed her lips. It was too difficult for him to name the child. It was better to leave such a difficult task to the child's mother!

"Forehead"

But Yuri only said half of what she wanted to say, leaving Mikoto speechless.

No, Sasuke is your son now, so what am I?

While the two of them were teasing Sasuke, a figure quickly ran towards the clan leader's residence.

At the same time, at Haori's house, Hikaru suddenly put down the book in his hand and looked at the clock on the wall.

Looking at the time on the clock, watching the second hand complete another full circle, her brows began to furrow slightly.

"They've been gone for over ten minutes, why aren't they back yet? What's going on?"
