Having just returned from the front lines, I first went to the Hokage building to report, and then I was supposed to report back to the clan.
I had just gotten home!
But I encountered Uchiha Mikoto, who was mentally distressed.
Inside the house.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the sound of intermittent crying echoed through the room.
From the moment I entered, the place was in disarray, with signs of the two fighting scattered everywhere.
The stairs, all the way to the bedroom!
“Yoru-kun, I... I'm sorry.”
Uchiha Mikoto, covered in red scars, turned her head and looked at Uchiha Yoru with guilt in her eyes.
Uchiha Yoru shook his head wearily.
“Mikoto-nee, lie down. I'll use medical ninjutsu to treat your injuries.”
So, Uchiha Mikoto lay on the bed, while Uchiha Yoru’s hands glowed with a faint green light from the medical ninjutsu.
This was just basic medical ninjutsu.
As he treated her, tears welled up in Uchiha Mikoto’s eyes, and she lowered her voice to cry, “Yoru-kun, this time on the mission, my companion! I saw Sakurako get killed with my own eyes, and it was all because we were careless…
When we passed through a village during our mission, we saw that old man looking pitiful, and Sakurako kindly gave him some food, but in an instant, that man went mad!”
At this point, blood-colored tomoe occasionally flickered in Uchiha Mikoto’s pupils, her eyes filled with regret and endless hatred.
“That person was terrifying. Clearly, he had no chakra, but in that moment! He turned into a monster, and then Sakurako! Sakurako was bitten through the neck by that man; I could only watch helplessly as Sakurako gasped for air while looking at me…”
Listening to Uchiha Mikoto’s description, Uchiha Yoru couldn’t help but frown. No chakra yet suddenly going berserk, even transforming into a monster?
How does that sound eerily similar to someone’s intel!
However, upon seeing the sorrow in Uchiha Mikoto’s eyes, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
This barbaric ninja world, seemingly developed, is filled with cruelty.
Uchiha Mikoto had grown up with him, but her identity was anything but simple.
She was the granddaughter of Elder Shana, one of the few female ninja geniuses in the clan.
When the Uchiha clan awakens their Sharingan, their emotions are often on the edge of collapse, and the special chakra that surges within makes one emotionally unstable; in simpler terms, it means having mental issues.
Throughout the history of the Uchiha clan awakening their eyes, they all go through a phase of turmoil before reaching stability.
…In the bathroom…
“Yoru-kun, thank you.”
Uchiha Mikoto, completely lacking any strength, felt her spirits calm.
Uchiha Yoru yawned, casually stepping out of the bathtub and putting on a bathrobe. He was quickly falling in love with this damn high-society life.
“Mikoto-nee, you are Elder Shana’s granddaughter. I’m taking a huge risk here; if the others in the clan find out, you know what will happen!”
Uchiha Yoru rubbed his fingers together in a gesture that suggested a fee, causing Uchiha Mikoto to chuckle softly.
“Well then, how much do you want this time, Yoru… little brother?”
“Mikoto-nee, although we’ve played together since we were kids, I can’t compare to you. The ninja tools, explosive tags, wire, food pills… they are all precious materials, especially since I haven’t even awakened my Sharingan.”
Uchiha Yoru said eagerly, while Uchiha Mikoto, soaking in the bathtub, squinted her eyes, showing a rare expression of relaxation and enjoyment.
She knew that Uchiha Yoru was trying to change the subject, easing her emotions.
“Sister doesn’t have that much; how about letting me repay you in kind?”
Usually appearing gentle and virtuous, no one would expect Mikoto to be so rebellious after awakening her Sharingan.
This statement made Uchiha Yoru cough in surprise, hurriedly putting his hands together and whispering, “Mikoto-nee, you can’t say things like that casually. If outsiders hear, Elder Shana will definitely skin me alive.”
In this light-hearted atmosphere, Uchiha Mikoto’s tense emotions eased, and she slowly walked out of the bathtub.
The young Uchiha Mikoto could be said to have a figure that was both modestly dressed and curvaceous.
Although he had seen it many times before, cough cough!
“This is the clan’s more advanced shuriken and sword techniques, as well as a B-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu, Lightning Release: False Darkness. You should focus on learning during this time, especially since the battlefield is mostly in the Land of Rain this time.”
After skillfully taking clothes from the wardrobe, Uchiha Mikoto transformed back into that seemingly gentle and virtuous appearance.
She took a scroll from her coat in the bedroom and tossed it directly over.
Upon receiving the scroll, Uchiha Yoru immediately smiled.
“Mikoto-nee, your thighs smell really good.”
Hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto, now calm, felt a blush rise to her cheeks. Usually, she wouldn’t be so reckless.
The last time she was mentally stimulated and awakened her Sharingan, this time was also due to stimulation.
Such situations often bring out the darkest sides of human nature.
The Uchiha clan’s shuriken techniques are among the best in the ninja world; after opening the scroll, Uchiha Yoru showed a sense of awe.
He knew this was Uchiha Mikoto’s way of worrying about him, providing him with a guarantee for his survival.
He had only graduated a little over a year ago and was still a genin, but during this time of war and the accumulation of the clan’s ninjutsu heritage, he was already no less than an ordinary chunin.
However, on the battlefield, let alone the chakra of a chunin, even that of a jounin is insufficient.
Therefore, for a ninja of his caliber, using sword techniques and shuriken techniques for long-range attacks can save a lot of chakra, which is a chance for survival on the battlefield.
After all, he is from the Uchiha clan; even without awakening his eyes, the explosive tags, kunai, and other ninja tools in his tool pouch far exceed those of ordinary ninjas of the same rank.
“Lightning Release, don’t rush it; take it slow, but you must learn it. In the battlefield of the Land of Rain, our clan’s Fire Release is restricted.”
Uchiha Mikoto said gravely while urging him. B-rank ninjutsu is already considered jounin-level ninjutsu, and the learning difficulty is quite high.
“Mikoto-nee, the sword techniques and shuriken techniques are manageable, but this advanced Lightning Release ninjutsu!”
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru also showed a hint of worry, while Uchiha Mikoto nodded calmly.
“It’ll be fine. This time the battlefield is in the Rain Ninja Village, and I’ve already applied for you to have Lightning Release attributes in advance within the clan.”
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru immediately smiled.
Sure enough!
Even the paranoid Uchiha clan understands human feelings.
Uchiha Yoru has chakra attributes of Fire, Lightning, and Earth.
“Yoru, let’s meet at the village gate in three days. I want to personally avenge Sakurako!”
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto’s emotions becoming somewhat uncontrolled again, Uchiha Yoru pretended to be startled, then smiled.
“Mikoto-nee, let’s settle the previous matter first; it’s all clear now. This mission is so dangerous; you have to pay more!”
With a bang, Uchiha Mikoto directly grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, which Uchiha Yoru hurriedly caught.
“Mikoto-nee, can we talk this out? Don’t be angry; you should at least increase the amount, since we’re going to leave the village… Alright, if we’re not talking about money, then we must consider the consumption of ninja tools for this mission…”
As Uchiha Yoru’s voice trailed off, Uchiha Mikoto directly flipped out of the window.
However, before she left, Mikoto, appearing annoyed, revealed a relaxed smile as she felt a breeze from outside the window.
She knew that Uchiha Yoru was only trying to help her manage her emotions, especially since her Sharingan had just evolved, making her particularly sensitive during this time.
As she looked back at Mikoto, who had transformed into a small black dot and left, Uchiha Yoru squinted his eyes, revealing a hint of a smile.
