Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 138 Sasuke: Mother, I want a younger brother

"Damn it, this kid's got no sense of right and wrong, huh?!"

Inside the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village.

Onoki's furious roar echoed throughout the building, causing countless Iwa ninja working inside to tremble.

This Third Tsuchikage is truly vigorous for his age; his temper is still so strong at such an advanced age.

Huang Tu stood aside, speechless with bitterness. He felt utterly undeserving of being scolded like a quail.

Who would have thought that Deidara, at such a young age, would be so fierce, daring to use bombs in the village at the age of eight or nine?

Deidara was a genius, that much is undeniable.

Three years ago, when this boy was five or six years old, he was spotted by Onoki and taken as his disciple.

During these three years of training, Deidara has continuously demonstrated his talent, and now the kid can skillfully use Explosion Release.

But although this kid has extraordinary talent, his brain...

It's difficult for Huang Tu to evaluate Deidara's situation in this regard; the fact that he dared to conduct such an explosive experiment within the village is enough to reveal some problems.

Of course, he felt that this was largely due to his father, the Tsuchikage, and his parenting style.

It seems that his father only taught Deidara about fighting, and he was completely neglected in other aspects!

Huang Tu dared not say these things, as he was still worried about getting beaten up. Even though his daughter was already seven or eight years old, her father would never show mercy when he got going.

After raging for a long time, Onoki finally said fiercely to Koto, "Go tell him later that if this continues, I'll kick him out of the village!"

Huang Tu immediately nodded with a sigh of relief: "Yes, I will convey it truthfully."

"Alright, what did you want to see me about?"

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, we have received another message from Kumogakure."

Upon hearing Huang Tu's words, Onoki subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

Over the course of three years, Kumogakure contacted Iwagakure countless times.

Furthermore, as Onoki responded, their communication became increasingly frequent.

Onoki knew perfectly well that Kumogakure was ambitious, and this time, Kumogakure's target was Konoha, which made Onoki sneer inwardly.

Onoki knew all too well what the situation was like in Konoha.

Even though Orochimaru's defection brought a huge storm to Konoha, they still had Uchiha Haori, Uchiha Hotaru, Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya, and Tsunade!

Even the older generation, like Hiruzen Sarutobi who still has the strength to fight, is still alive. How could Kumogakure possibly have a chance?

However, Kumogakure wasn't stupid either. They naturally knew that Konoha's current situation was special, so their purpose in contacting Iwagakure was simple and clear.

Let's attack Konoha together!

To be honest, after learning about these circumstances, Onoki couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Konoha was too strong. Although the Third Shinobi World War severely damaged Konoha, its talents also grew amidst the turmoil of the war.

The most typical examples are Uchiha Haori and Uchiha Hotaru. These two are the troubles that Onoki most wanted to get rid of deep down!

The younger generation may have forgotten the threat Madara Uchiha posed to the entire ninja world, but he will never forget it.

What made him hesitate was the strength of the Uchiha clan and the two people who suddenly appeared during the battle with the Four-Tails, who were suspected to be Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha!

For three years, Onoki secretly investigated the whereabouts of these two.

Unfortunately, the only news he received was that the person who resembled Uchiha Izuna had launched a powerful attack in Kirigakure three years ago.

The entire Hidden Mist Village was utterly humiliated by them, and even the Fourth Mizukage, who had transformed into a Jinchuriki, was left with only half a life.

With such strength and such unbridled behavior, how could Onoki not feel anxious?

However, just like before, the two disappeared without a trace after a certain period of time, and they have not reappeared since.

But the shadows left by these people made Onoki Makoto neither dare to nor willing to act rashly; they were truly too terrifying!

"Lord Tsuchikage, should we see them?"

Huang Tu felt quite embarrassed when he saw his father suddenly fall silent again.

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked.

"Furthermore, I've heard that they've been secretly mobilizing troops and are openly preparing to 'communicate' with Konoha."

"That brat, the Fourth Raikage, is really impatient."

Ohnoki snapped out of his daze and let out a cold snort, but for a moment he didn't know what to choose.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.

"Go and meet with him, and tell him about Iwagakure's decision."

"Yes." Huang Tu breathed a sigh of relief. Despite his father's short stature, his imposing manner was truly unbearable for him.

"Tell them that Iwagakure will not launch a preemptive strike, and that we have a peace treaty with Konoha."

After a moment's consideration, Onoki continued.

"However, we can provide sufficient material support, and at the same time, we will mobilize troops to make the necessary judgments."

I am the Tsuchikage, and I am responsible for Iwagakure. If Konoha shows signs of weakness, we will assist Kumogakure in completing the attack!

If Kumogakure loses, then we will do our best to stop Konoha "for the sake of peace," that's our bottom line.

If they understand, then proceed with this plan; if they don't, then don't blame me for refusing to play along.

Onoki was still a very rational person, although he also wanted to shout like an adult, "I want it all."

The key issue is that the current situation doesn't allow him to do that, so he had to choose the most conservative approach.

He didn't care what Yunyin's reaction was; Yunyin needed his help now!

As long as he doesn't explicitly express his desire to eliminate Uchiha Haori and Uchiha Hotaru, he can remain invincible.

Besides, not taking the initiative is also a precaution against that guy who is suspected to be Uchiha Madara. Why not let someone go and die?

"I understand, I'll go and tell them right away."

Huang Tu nodded immediately, then quickly turned and left the office.

Ohnoki, however, remained seated and motionless, still needing to carefully consider matters of the future.

"Konoha."

The deterrent power of Konoha, or rather, the deterrent power of Minato Namikaze and Hagoromo Uchiha, was simply too great for him; he had to consider more possibilities.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"By the way, that Akatsuki organization, perhaps we could give it a try?"

boom--

Just as he had figured it out, a huge roar resounded, and in the distance, flames rose slowly along with smoke.

Looking at everything in the distance, Onoki's face immediately darkened.

"Deidara, you bastard!"

-

"Has Onoki responded?"

"Yes, but his conditions are extremely demanding."

A few days later, inside the Raikage Building in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage raised an eyebrow as he listened to the report from the earthen platform in front of him.

Three years have passed, and the Fourth Raikage doesn't seem to have changed much, except that his body has become stronger.

Within those thick muscles, it seemed as if endless chakra was constantly churning.

"As expected, this old man is like a rat, the older he gets, the more timid he becomes."

The Fourth Raikage thought for a moment, then shook his head dismissively.

"But since he agreed, he must have been mentally prepared."

"Don't worry too much about this old guy, let's continue with our plan!"

The Fourth Raikage's attitude towards Onoki was quite disdainful, a scene remarkably similar to Onoki's own disdain for him.

Actually, he wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that Konoha was in a difficult situation right now.

Uchiha Haori and Namikaze Minato, both of them mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Anyone would feel their scalp tingle if they were enemies like that.

Especially Uchiha Haori, his eyes were incredibly powerful, and that giant chakra still terrifies him!

Furthermore, according to intelligence, it seems that the Uchiha Hagoromo clan possesses more than just this technique; there are two other Konoha clans with similar powers.

"But so what? I still have Killer Bee!"

Although he knew that Hagoromo and Hikari had once used Susanoo to give Kurama a good beating.

However, the Nine-Tails that went berserk was clearly not controlled by a Jinchūriki, since the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki was Minato Namikaze's wife.

Without a Jinchūriki to control it, the power of a Tailed Beast, no matter how strong, is nothing more than that, and Killer Bee is a perfect Jinchūriki!

Furthermore, the Cloud Village suffered very few losses throughout the entire Third Shinobi World War; apart from the death of his father, the rest of the losses were minimal.

This is also the main reason why he had the idea of ​​"taking over" Konoha after seeing that the village was severely weakened!

However, after becoming Lei Ying, he knew very well that there were some things he couldn't do just because he wanted to.

He has to consider many factors before he can make a judgment and a decision, and the biggest variables right now are Iwagakure and Onoki.

This is also why he hasn't made any moves for three years, constantly seeking reconciliation with Iwagakure and working together to deal with Konoha.

Konoha is constantly getting stronger, and those kids from the Third Shinobi World War are all starting to grow up.

If we wait a few more years, Konoha will complete the generational transition, and then this village will once again stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world!

The Fourth Raikage would be unwilling to do anything while the situation was in a transitional phase, and he believed that Onoki felt the same way.

"Now it seems my judgment was correct. Besides, Konoha and the Land of Rain have improved their relations. How could Onoki possibly stand by and watch himself be attacked from both sides?"

The Fourth Raikage didn't quite understand. Hanzo was, after all, a heroic figure; it was this guy who started the Second Shinobi World War.

Unfortunately, this hero has now become a coward. He actually gave up all of his mission share to Konoha in exchange for Konoha's assistance.

If things continue like this, it wouldn't be surprising if the Land of Rain became an appendage of Konoha. How could this not make Onoki sweat profusely?

"Pass the word down and tell them to make the final preparations."

Shaking his head, the Fourth Raikage stopped thinking about it and turned to the earthen platform.

"They are heroes, we will remember their achievements, and they will be remembered forever."

The troops were also notified to secretly assemble and be ready to act at any time!

"Yes, Lord Raikage!"

-

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you, I never get tired of looking at you."

"Go look at others, you bastard."

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't I already explain? I couldn't control my emotions. What are you thinking?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Hikaru change her clothes, Haori's eyes were full of admiration, but her face also showed some helplessness.

He did feel somewhat helpless because he realized that he seemed to have been caught out by the light.

But unfortunately, some things don't happen in this world!

There are some things that Haori is indeed very skilled at.

After all, he wasn't some fledgling in his previous life, otherwise he and Jiraiya wouldn't have been so harmonious when they were alone.

It's important to know that Jiraiya is a true "LSP" (a derogatory term for someone who is overly attached to something). Even if you pronounce his name in Chinese, it would sound like "Jinaye" in Chinese.

The fact that someone like her could admit defeat is enough to show that Yuzhi not only had a wealth of theoretical knowledge in her previous life, but also had too many teachers.

Similarly, he also has some practical experience.

But once he arrived in the world, even though he did have some ulterior motives at first.

But once he was on the battlefield, some of his original ulterior motives were erased by the constant killing.

Moreover, there were quite a few beautiful female ninjas on the battlefield, and he himself couldn't remember how many of them had died tragically at his hands.

His first main mission was called "Survive," which is absolutely true. He was about to lose his life, so what other thoughts could he possibly have?

"Okay, stop making that face."

After changing her clothes, Hikaru turned around and saw Yuri's sullen expression. In the end, she just smiled and shook her head.

"I believe in you."

"Just believe?"

He reached out and pulled Guang into his arms, then gently bumped his head against her forehead.

"That's going too far! How can you say that about your fiancé?"

"Tch, you're so popular in Konoha, who knows what you were like before?"

Hikaru pursed her lips, feeling quite helpless as she thought about the way Rin would occasionally glance at Yuzhi.

Moreover, thinking about what this guy did last night made her even more panicked.

"And your behavior last night was absolutely outrageous, you evil Uchiha brat."

"Yes, yes, yes, who isn't an evil Uchiha brat?"

These words, coming from Hikaru's mouth, had no effect on Hagoromo. He smiled, raised an eyebrow, and then spoke seriously.

"Also, even if I'm going too far, I respect your bottom line. Would I force you?"

Is it still less?

He glanced down at his feet, then at the guy's hands, which were behaving themselves now but were usually anything but.

After hesitating for a long time, she ultimately didn't say anything.

Strictly speaking, Yuzhi did respect her to some extent; at least she didn't really cross the line.

Guang agreed with this point. She didn't actually disagree with some things happening, after all, they were already adults.

But she would rather stand in the same position as Yuri than keep looking at Yuri's back in the future!

She would never deny her feelings for Yuzhi; there was no need or point in doing so.

Even if she might say something due to her modesty and shyness, the fact that she didn't actually resist already speaks volumes.

However, she was, after all, a person from the Warring States period, and she had also received the kind of "ultimate weapon" education that the Uchiha clan received, which has always influenced her.

She wouldn't allow herself to be sheltered forever; she would rather protect the people she loves and cherishes!

At the very least, we can fight side by side, instead of hiding in the background and anxiously waiting for the outcome.

Perhaps this is the nature of the Uchiha clan; even the gentlest of them would never stoop to such a lowly position.

The fact that Mikoto Uchiha in the original work chose to die alongside Fugaku Uchiha rather than try to survive speaks volumes.

Guang was more influenced by the impact of war and the atmosphere of the Warring States period, so her ideas were naturally more firm, or rather, more extreme!

"Of course not, you always have been."

She leaned against Hagoromo's chest and whispered, then looked up at Hagoromo intently.

"Wait for me, I'll catch up with you."

"Catching up with me won't be easy, and I'm not going to slow down on purpose."

Of course, Hagoromo could guess what Hikari was thinking. He hugged the girl a little tighter before slowly speaking.

"But I will always wait for you, and you can rest assured that I will respect your wishes."

"Yes, of course you will, you always will."

Although she knew that Yuzhi respected her wishes, she only didn't completely cross the line. In other aspects, this perverted and excessive brat would probably never let it go.

But that's more than enough for Guang. You can't give him nothing, especially since he's so popular.

If she really guarded it so carefully, and someone else who was always watching the haori broke into her house, then she would regret it deeply.

"Why are you so popular?"

Guang muttered to herself, and the next moment her face turned slightly red. Then she slapped the hand that was causing trouble behind her back hard with her other hand.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Which law in Konoha says I can't be intimate with my fiancée first thing in the morning? Tell me, and I'll change it right away."

Haori raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, which immediately made Hikaru a little nervous.

She had seen shameless people, but someone as serious and shameless as Haori was probably the only one.

"You've gone too far."

Hikaru said something in a low voice, and when she saw Haori leaning her head closer, she was speechless.

Even so, she obediently closed her eyes.

Anyway, she had already realized what she was thinking. She could put up a little resistance verbally, but as long as Yuzhi wasn't too unreasonable, she wouldn't refuse.

Instantly, the two of them stuck together again.

Feeling the warmth and moisture on her lips, Yuzhi didn't go too far this time.

He was completely immersed in and enjoying the atmosphere and feeling of the moment; he even had a rather peculiar feeling.

"Did she eat candy this morning? It was so sweet!"

Thinking this, Yuzhi hugged him even tighter, but just as he was feeling relaxed and happy, a voice suddenly rang out at an inopportune moment.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Father, Mother, it's time to get up; it's getting late."

"Oh dear, Mother, what are you doing?"

"Huh? What? I'm going to have a little brother? That's great!"

"."

-

"Nagato, take another look. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

In the Land of Rain, Konan handed the document in her hand to Nagato, who simply glanced at it and nodded helplessly.

"You can make these decisions; I don't understand these things."

"You are the leader, and this matter needs to be reviewed by you regardless of whether you are aware of it or not."

Konan shook her head seriously, which left Nagato somewhat speechless.

In the past three years, both the Akatsuki organization and the Land of Rain have undergone significant changes.

The Akatsuki organization is relatively smaller because many things are still in the planning stages, and what they need to do at this stage is to continuously recruit new members.

Moreover, they are relatively picky about recruiting people. It's okay for outsiders; as long as they pass the assessment, they can join.

However, the recruitment of core members is very slow, not counting him, Xiao Nan, and the "real" and "fake" members.

Only Orochimaru, Sasori, Kakuzu, and Juzo Biwa, who had previously defected from Kirigakure and joined their organization.

They are few in number, but they are all formidable in strength.

Furthermore, the Akatsuki organization is continuing to investigate some things, such as discovering a guy named Shennong who seems quite interesting.

Besides that, Orochimaru has also been searching for someone, but unfortunately there's still no news about him.

As for the Land of Rain, the situation is much better now!

Since hearing the suggestion of the "real thing" three years ago, Nagato and Konan have both gone through a mental storm.

Finally, they made up their minds and decided to give it a try!

Managing a village or a country cannot be done based on personal feelings; doing so would only plunge the entire country into crisis.

Hanzo is a damned guy, but you can't deny what he brought to the Land of Rain.

But when they actually started to make contact with Konoha, absorb the remnants of Loulan, and reorganize their internal affairs, they suddenly found that the situation had improved by a great deal!

The Land of Rain is still shrouded in rain, but the people living in this country are no longer frowning.

Even though they lost their share of the mission, they received aid from Konoha's supplies and some suggestions from the "real deal" later on.

Now, the Land of Rain is truly starting to get on track and is getting better and better!

What annoyed Nagato was that all of this was thanks to that guy, and had nothing to do with them.

"What's wrong?"

Seemingly sensing the change in Nagato's emotions, Konan couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity, but she quickly realized what was going on.

Are you still upset with Madara Uchiha?

"Who knows if he is Uchiha Madara? He's so mysterious and never shows his face, and he even lets a lunatic walk the ninja world in his place."

Nagato wasn't embarrassed at all that Konan had seen through his thoughts, since his displeasure was understandable.

He still finds it hard to let go of the fact that he was almost defeated by that guy in one move!

Even though there's a huge difference between defeating someone and being killed, Nagato was confident he could survive, but such a tragic situation was just too humiliating.

Moreover, if things really came down to a prolonged battle, Nagato knew he would most likely be worn down and killed.

Moreover, the current development of the Land of Rain is inseparable from that guy's series of suggestions.

Even though Nagato had come to believe it in his heart, how could he possibly feel comfortable with all of this?

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

Xiao Nan shook her head, then she remembered something.

"By the way, it seems Iwagakure has given us another mission, and this one is rather unusual."

"A mission?"

Nagato asked a question with a puzzled look, but after a moment he felt a little uneasy again.

We agreed not to talk about that guy anymore, so why can't we avoid it?

Taking advantage of Akatsuki's unique nature to take on war missions in order to expand their funding pool was also that guy's suggestion.

But I have to say, war missions are really lucrative!

This is especially true for villages like Iwagakure, which are relatively wealthy, and where there is a direct conflict between Iwagakure and Sunagakure due to mission quotas from neighboring small countries.

Since Iwagakure is unwilling to directly engage in combat, they will seek out wandering ninjas, bounty hunters, and ninja organizations to carry out missions.

The Akatsuki organization naturally benefited from this, especially since they had experienced bounty hunters like Kakuzu within their organization, and each of them possessed extraordinary strength.

Taking a deep breath, Nagato struggled to control his emotions and asked, "Who are you going to fight? And what's the price?"

"The offer is very high, but this time no specific task details were given, but judging from the current situation..."

Xiao Nan was also a little conflicted. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke seriously.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be Konoha."

"Iwagakure wants to fight Konoha?"

Nagato frowned upon hearing this; this matter was indeed of utmost importance!

He didn't quite understand why Iwagakure would act so strangely at this time.

The Third Shinobi World War has only just ended, so how come Iwagakure has such crazy ideas again? Is peace really that difficult?

However, Nagato was at least influenced by the "real Uchiha Madara," so even though he didn't care about these things, he wasn't as clueless as he claimed.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he immediately grasped some key points.

"Iwagakure is probably still hesitant. As always, they dare not personally intervene, or at least not so soon."

"Our probing is partly to gauge Konoha's strength, and partly because there are likely others who might also be plotting against Konoha."

Who do you think it could be?

Xiao Nan frowned; she already had an answer in her mind.

"Didn't you guess it too? The most likely candidate is probably Kumogakure."

Nagato sneered; he could see the disdain in his eyes.

"Indeed, it's difficult for this world to be peaceful with these so-called big villages around."

Even if someone wants to, others will do something for the benefit of their own village.

Hatred persists, interests sway people's hearts, and war goes on without end.

We still have a long, long way to go to achieve true peace!

"Yes, indeed."

Xiao Nan didn't know what to say about this, but after thinking about it carefully, perhaps there was really no need to say too much.

When the major ninja villages fight amongst themselves, isn't that a form of depletion of their strength?

This is definitely not a bad thing for their goals.

"However, I suggest reminding Konoha, since the Land of Rain still needs Konoha."

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Xiao Nan finally gave a suggestion.

"They really should be reminded."

Nagato nodded, then thought for a moment and continued.

"Although I hate them, the Land of Rain needs them now, and we should provide them with the necessary intelligence."

Also, see if you can get in touch with that guy.

Nagato paused here, then pursed his lips and continued.

"Although I also dislike him, I have to admit that he is indeed a very intelligent person."

"What a pity, he's too mysterious, and also too dangerous."

-

"Father, Mother, over here, over here!"

"Slow down, don't rush."

The climate in Konoha Village in April is comfortable and pleasant, with a gentle spring breeze swaying the cherry blossom branches.

Then, pink and white petals fluttered down like rain, making it the perfect time to enjoy the flowers.

However, not everyone has the leisure to go on a spring outing and enjoy the flowers, because it is also the annual enrollment season for the Konoha Ninja Academy.

On the street, people came and went, and many parents were taking their children to the ninja school to take the entrance exam.

Sasuke is the same, except that his 'parents' look somewhat strange.

Haori and Mikoto walked behind, looking at Sasuke, who was full of energy and looking radiant, with a sense of helplessness.

"That kid, he really is something."

Recalling what Sasuke said outside the door that morning, Mikoto felt a strange headache coming on.

She never expected things to turn out that way; Sasuke was far too reckless.

Is it okay to say those kinds of things out loud?

She especially remembered that Yuzhi's face looked terrible at the time, and Hikaru's face was flushed red. Even now, she still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Actually, she misunderstood. Yui was more complaining that Sasuke had disturbed her enjoyment, while Hikaru was a little shy in that situation.

But that's all. After all, it's not unusual for this kid to have multiple younger brothers.

Of course, it could also be her younger sister; it doesn't matter to Yuzhi anyway.

But those are things for the future; he's not in a hurry.

As for now, he mainly felt that Sasuke was too energetic, and heaven knows why he was so excited.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, that was very rude of you."

Walking slowly beside Yuzhi, Mikoto, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke awkwardly in a low voice.

"Um?"

Yuzhi paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on, and shook his head indifferently.

"It's alright, children say the darndest things. Ying and I didn't take it to heart, don't worry."

"Is that so?"

Mikoto gave an awkward laugh, watching Yuori come out alone, Hikaru not by her side. Was everything really alright?

Actually, she was mistaken. While it was partly because of awkwardness that Guang didn't come, she was mostly considering Sasuke's feelings.

She didn't mind that there were two mothers together, but it was hard to say whether Sasuke would feel awkward.

Therefore, it was enough for Yuzhi to accompany the mother and child alone, so that she could focus on her training.

She could just pick Sasuke up and drop him off herself from now on; she actually quite liked Sasuke.

"yes."

Yuzhi nodded, and after glancing around, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"There are so many people! It feels like there are even more people than when I was in school."

"really."

When Mikoto saw that Haori was changing the subject, she followed suit and stopped thinking about it too much.

"But that's normal, since people from all over the Land of Fire come to try it out, so of course there are a lot of people."

But it's unclear how many people will qualify, after all...

After all, Konoha's entrance exams are exceptionally rigorous, with the highest elimination rate among the five great ninja villages!

Furthermore, the scope of Konoha's selection of ninjas has never been limited to those within the village.

All residents of the Land of Fire, regardless of whether their parents were ninjas, are entitled to enroll in the Ninja Academy upon reaching a certain age.

Of course, this is also subject to differential treatment.

There are only so many spots in the ninja academy, so children from the village naturally have a much greater chance than children from outside the village.

Everyone knows about this unspoken rule, and it involves many issues, one of which is to prevent espionage.

Although this is of little use, those who want to get in can still do so through various means.

Even with such strict double standards, people still flocked to it.

Every year, countless parents who are not ninjas want to send their children through this gate, hoping that their children will become ninjas in the future.

This world is, after all, a world dominated by ninjas, where the law of the jungle prevails everywhere.

The ninjas, who possess the world's most elite fighting force, naturally belong to the group at the top of this world's pyramid.

To put it more bluntly, becoming a ninja is equivalent to changing to a different social class.

And the parents of those children could also stay in Konoha and truly obtain a peaceful and stable life. Who wouldn't want to take a chance?

Even if it involves traveling thousands of miles or setting off several months in advance, they will still do it!

The level of competition here is unimaginable.

"No matter how many there are, Sasuke will be fine."

Yu Zhi smiled casually and said in a half-joking tone.

"I really want to see who dares to refuse my son."

Mikoto couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Putting everything else aside, with the name of Hagoromo, probably no one would dare to refuse Sasuke.

Furthermore, Mikoto has confidence in her son, after all, Sasuke is also an Uchiha!

"By the way, you might be busy tonight."

Just then, Yuzhi spoke again.

"Let's celebrate this kid passing the test, although I don't think he'll have any problems."

After all, he's much more outstanding than I was back then, but it's still something to be happy about.

Don't think it's unnecessary. Kids need encouragement, so give them plenty of it, okay?

"Um."

Mikoto nodded; perhaps it was the casual conversation with Haori that made her completely relax.

She found that with the haori around, many things seemed to become much easier, and her mood seemed to improve as well.

Perhaps it's the haori that truly gives her a sense of security; after all, look at the Uchiha clan now, look at the police department now.

Looking at Hagoromo's reputation in Konoha, which is second only to the Hokage, it's certainly reassuring to have someone like him protecting you.

Moreover, Sasuke liked him very much and trusted him, completely regarding him as his father, and never even asked about his real father.

"But it's fine this way too."

Over the years, Mikoto can't say she's forgotten what happened back then, but she has seen so many changes.

Having experienced everything now, and comparing it to everything back then, she had long since begun to reject Uchiha Fugaku in her heart.

Now, she herself is somewhat surprised to find that she seems to have almost forgotten about that person.

The real reason I think about it isn't anything else, but rather the wrong things he did.

When are you planning to have a child?

Shaking her head, Mikoto quickly banished these thoughts.

After pulling Sasuke back, she thought for a moment, then looked at Hagoromo and asked curiously.

Although she asked the question very softly, it immediately made Sasuke prick up his ears.

"The child isn't in a hurry. Ying has her own ideas, and I respect that and won't force her."

Yuri smiled and spoke, then looked at Sasuke beside him.

"But I have one too, and I hope Sasuke can be even better so he can take good care of his younger siblings in the future."

"You mustn't let Xin and Xiu know this, or they'll go crazy."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto couldn't help but whisper a reminder, but in her heart, she kept repeating Haori's words, "I respect her and will not force her."

This made her somewhat dazed, and she now seemed to understand even more why the haori was so popular.

What girl could resist such gentleness?

"So, when will I be able to have a younger brother or sister?"

Just as Mikoto was pondering, Sasuke's voice suddenly rang out.

Sasuke's words immediately made Mikoto's face turn awkward again. How come this little guy hasn't forgotten about this?

Yuzhi also found it somewhat amusing. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Sasuke's head before slowly speaking.

"I don't know either. After all, some things aren't for me to decide. Your other mother doesn't have any ideas yet."

"I see."

Sasuke blinked; he had absolutely no clear understanding of this matter.

However, ever since he learned that he might have a younger brother or sister in the future, he has kept this matter in his heart.

Perhaps it was the Uchiha's inherent traits that came out, because he really couldn't forget about it.

In his opinion, having a younger brother or sister to take care of him is much better than spending every day with that bastard Naruto.

If all else fails, I can just have my younger siblings call Naruto "brother" and take them along to play with that jerk Naruto.

After thinking it over, his eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at Yuzhi and Mikoto, he revealed an excited smile.

"Then why don't you ask my mom to help me have a younger brother or sister? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Haori and Mikoto stared in disbelief at Sasuke, completely dumbfounded.

In Yuzhi's mind, there was only a line from a TV series she had seen in her past life—"You're a fucking genius!"

Mikoto's face instantly turned red, and then she glared sternly at Sasuke, her face flushed, preparing to say something.

"Sasuke!"

Before she could even speak, a voice came from afar.

Looking up, they saw Naruto running excitedly towards them.

Behind Naruto, Minato and Kushina were waving at them.
