Although she couldn't figure out Shingetsu Seiun's purpose, Uchiha Mikoto was still very touched by his concern and patiently answered Shingetsu Seiun's questions one by one.

until--

"Mikoto-sensei, how have you been lately?"

Uchiha Mikoto: "It's alright."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Don't you ever experience back pain or aches?"

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at him.

This is obvious.

She takes care of Sasuke every day, and although she doesn't work from dawn till dusk, she's always busy taking care of him. It's normal for her to have backaches and sore waists.

But when the other person asks this, is it out of concern?

Thinking to herself, Uchiha Mikoto lowered her gaze and replied, "It's alright."

"I occasionally have lower back pain."

Shingetsu Seiun immediately chimed in, "You must be tired from carrying Sasuke, right?"

Mikoto Uchiha nodded slightly: "Perhaps."

The Divine Moon Nebula followed closely behind.

"Ms. Misaka, this won't do."

"I know taking care of children is hard work, but no matter what, health is the most important thing."

Back pain is no small matter.

Uchiha Mikoto raised her head, her bright eyes looking into Shinzuki Seiun's eyes.

"what do you mean?"

Shenyue Xingyun gently clenched her fingers.

"Um... Ms. Misaka."

"I'm an expert at treating lower back pain."

"Our family has been treating back pain for three generations."

Mikoto Uchiha blinked.

The Shenyue family has been specializing in treating lower back pain for three generations? How come she's never heard of it?

Looking at Shenyue Xingyun, whose eyes were slightly evasive, she understood what he was thinking without having to think too much.

'This guy... is really...'

Mikoto Uchiha didn't know what to say.

How to expose the other party's clumsy excuse?

still is……

She looked at Shenyue Xingyun and remained silent for a moment.

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes are beautiful, but being stared at by those eyes made Shinzuki Seiun feel extremely guilty.

He knew his map was too short, but he didn't have a good solution.

After all, once the map is unrolled, the dagger is revealed; whether the map is long or short, the difference in the moment the dagger is revealed is not significant.

The reason he came to find Uchiha Mikoto so late was quite simple.

The divination tortoise shell told him this.

Today, he was feeling restless at home. There was still no news about Orochimaru's whereabouts, Tsunade had disappeared, Mikoto Uchiha's mission was making no progress, and there were a lot of troubles in the village... Everything felt like a complete mess.

I'm getting increasingly irritable, and I even have a vague sense of unease.

In order to find the right path, he had a sudden inspiration and used the divination tortoise shell that had one turn left.

The first question he asked himself was whether he was in any kind of crisis.

The tortoise shell showed no reaction, indicating that this type of question is beyond the level of divination.

Shingetsu Seiun then asked the second question: Where is Orochimaru?

No results.

He asked again: Where is Tsunade?

No answer.

Finally, Shenyue Xingyun asked: Where is my way out?

This time, the tortoise shell finally provided the answer.

That evening, at Mikoto Uchiha's house.

With the tortoise shell gone, Shingetsu Nebula arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory, filled with anticipation.

Shenyue Xingyun had thought it through very clearly.

Why did the divination result lead me here?

It is clear!

A breakthrough has been found in the mission!

Perhaps it's because Ms. Mikoto's day is auspicious, or perhaps it's because Ms. Mikoto is in a good mood, or perhaps... whatever the reason, this is an opportunity!

The system's messages never went wrong, so despite being slightly unprepared, he still came.

For the mission of 'Uchiha | Mikoto'! Charge once more!

However, the bugle call to charge sounded.

The horn's air had been blown out.

The prolonged silence made Shenyue Xingyun increasingly nervous.

After all, the woman in the bathrobe in front of him was none other than a stranger.

It's Uchiha Mikoto.

Time passed slowly, each second a scorching torture for Shingetsu Seiun's soul. Finally, Uchiha Mikoto spoke.

"No, talk to me for a bit."

She didn't expose Shenyue Xingyun's clumsy reasoning, nor did she agree to his proposal; instead, she casually changed the subject.

"how are things?"

"I heard that your relationship with the Hokage has been rather strained lately?"

Shenyue Xingyun had very mixed feelings.

Disappointed, Mikoto Uchiha did not readily agree as he had expected.

He also felt a sense of relief, at least the topic Mikoto Uchiha changed the subject of was not so embarrassing for him.

"Fortunately."

Shenyue Xingyun said, "There's nothing to be nervous about, it's just the same as always."

Uchiha Mikoto, of course, didn't believe it: "Listen to your teacher, think long-term."

"You are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you."

"When you're strong enough one day, you will naturally be able to..."

"What if my current strength is enough?" Shenyue Xingyun suddenly spoke up.

Chapter 421 What are you looking for?

"What did you say?" Uchiha Mikoto was stunned for a moment.

Shenyue Xingyun calmly said, "What if I said that my current strength is already sufficient?"

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly. What she meant was that Shingetsu Seiun was still young, and if he grew stronger in two more years, he could undoubtedly succeed as Hokage.

But Shenyue Xingyun's answer made it clear that his current strength was sufficient.

"Nebula, are you... serious?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded.

That's how I feel.

"Of course, I was just saying it casually, Ms. Mikoto, you don't need to be nervous."

How could Mikoto Uchiha not be nervous?

Looking at the excessively handsome young man in front of her, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly realized that the other party was no longer the previous Shingetsu Seiun.

Flowery tail.

An outstanding young man from the Shingetsu family.

The renowned Konoha Demon Star, who had not long ago become a top ninja in the world capable of rivaling Onoki, had become a formidable opponent.

If the other side were to launch a military challenge against the Hokage... Mikoto Uchiha simply couldn't bear to think about it.

"Nebula! Listen to me!"

"I know you're very strong now, but there are some things you need to think through! If the village..."

"Alright, alright," said Shinzuki Seiun helplessly. "Mikoto-sensei, I was just saying that."

"I wouldn't want to be Hokage right now."

If he hadn't been tasked with becoming Hokage, he might actually have taken the Hokage position.

But now.

He is the man who will challenge for the title of Fifth Hokage in the future.

"That's good, that's good." Seeing that Shingetsu Seiun's expression didn't seem fake, Uchiha Mikoto was finally less worried.

She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
