"Mikoto, your wound has been treated, so I'll head back now."

"Thank you!"

...

The next day, the sun blazed down, its rays intense and scorching.

The temperature reached an unprecedented 42 degrees Celsius, and the entire Konoha was scorching hot.

In such high temperatures, even an electric fan is of little use.

After lunch, Lin Ye lay on the sofa, enjoying the breeze and taking a nap.

"Ugh!"

"If only we had air conditioning." He sighed deeply.

What is an air conditioner?

At that moment, Uchiha Mikoto was cleaning when she asked curiously.

"Air conditioners are similar to electric fans, but much cooler."

He responded listlessly.

The next second, she waved her hand again: "Mikoto, look at you, you're covered in sweat. Don't do these little things."

"No, I already feel guilty for staying at your house. If I don't do something, I'll feel bad."

She smiled sweetly and shook her head.

"Okay, then you can continue cleaning! If you need anything, just call me anytime."

After saying that, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

...

After a while, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly found a triangular ladder, stood on it, and used a broom to clean the spider webs at the top.

"Phew! Now it's finally clean."

She wore a long white dress, wiped the sweat from her forehead, put her hands on her hips, and showed a joyful smile.

"oops!"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, she lost her balance and fell off the ladder.

And it hit Lin Ye, who was sleeping, squarely.

Holy crap!

"Mikoto, are you trying to crush me to death?"

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

She waved her hands vigorously, revealing a self-reproachful expression.

"Hmph! I think you did this on purpose." Lin Ye snorted coldly.

"I didn't, I really didn't."

"Still trying to argue? Aren't you a ninja? How could you possibly fall off a ladder?" he questioned.

"Sigh! That was more than ten years ago. In all these years, apart from being able to use the Sharingan and Fire Release, I've basically forgotten everything else."

She sighed deeply, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

"So that's how it is!"

Lin Ye nodded slightly. This was the only explanation. After all, it was normal to experience leg cramps after a long period of inactivity.

If she did it on purpose, what was her motive? Even if she destroyed herself, she wouldn't be able to inherit the estate.

"Little Lin, are you alright?"

She blinked slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked at him with concern.

"Mikoto, thank goodness I'm strong, otherwise you would have seriously injured me."

"Excuse me, where are you hurt? Let me take a look."

"My back hurts!"

"Lie down, I'll give you a massage!" she said, and began to work.

"Ouch!"

"Be gentle."

After a while, Lin Ye said to her seriously, "Mikoto, I've decided to give you special training starting today, so you can become an outstanding ninja."

“Brother Lin, no need. I don’t want to be a ninja. I would rather be a housewife.”

She shook her head and gave a smile.

"Housewife? What can you do?" he asked, puzzled.

"Hmm...I can cook!"

She rolled her eyes, scratched her head, thought for a moment, and then responded.

Is your cooking as good as mine?

"It doesn't seem so!" She shook her head.

"If you can't even cook properly, what kind of housewife are you?" Lin Ye asked again.

"I can help you with your laundry."

She blushed and muttered to herself.

"Mikoto, to tell you the truth, I only change my clothes every six months. Are you trying to wash the air?"

"I...I can still clean."

"Come on, don't hit me again." Lin Ye said with a look of disgust.

"Alas! Am I really worthless?"

She sighed again, her words filled with disappointment.

"Let's go! I'll take you to exercise."

"Brother Lin, I just want to live a peaceful life, I don't want to fight."

"Mikoto, the reason I made you relearn ninjutsu is to give you the ability to protect yourself. You can't expect me to protect you for the rest of your life, can you?"

Besides, what if you encounter danger in the future and I can't get there in time? What will you do then?

Lin Ye put his arms around her shoulders and looked at her intently.

"Okay! I'll give it a try."

She thought about it again and realized that it made sense. Now that even the Uchiha clan was gone, how could she protect herself, let alone Sasuke?

The only way out is to become stronger yourself.

......

Before long, the two arrived at a forest behind Konoha.

The surroundings were filled with the sounds of birds singing, flowers blooming, cicadas chirping, lush green trees, and bright sunshine.

"what!"

"It's the taste of freedom!"

Mikoto Uchiha closed her eyes, stretched out her arms, and embraced nature.

Lin Ye stood in front of her and asked, "Mikoto, what level of ninja were you before?"

"I became a Jonin at the age of twenty and completed many A-rank missions. Later, I got tired of this life and became a housewife," she said slowly.

"I never imagined you were a Jonin before. This shows you have exceptional talent." Lin Ye said with a satisfied look.

The next second, he asked again, "Mikoto, can you take me to fly a Gundam?"

"What is Gundam?" she asked, her eyes wide with confusion.

“It’s Susanoo!” Lin Ye explained.

"I've heard Fugaku say that Susanoo can only be used after the Mangekyou Sharingan is awakened, so I don't know how to use it."

"Then how do I activate the kaleidoscope?" he asked again.

"It seems like it can only be activated when one's closest relative passes away."

"Wait a minute! Mikoto, didn't Fugaku die right in front of you? So why haven't you opened your eyes yet?" Lin Ye asked.

"Well, I don't know." She waved her hand, completely bewildered.

Does this mean I don't love Fugaku anymore?

"Alright, let's begin training. First, use all the ninjutsu you know before."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she spat out a huge fireball that was ten meters in diameter.

"As expected of a former Jonin, its power is extraordinary."

Lin Ye gave her a thumbs up, which meant that she had a lot of chakra.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

She spat out fireballs from her mouth one after another, their trajectory resembling that of balsam fruit.

The trajectory of a fireball can be controlled with chakra, and shuriken can be added to it to increase its power.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire".

Then, she spat out another fire dragon.

"Little Lin, how is it? Is it alright?"

She smiled sweetly, her forehead covered in sweat.
