From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 124 Madam, please have some self-respect!

"The Hokage has already told us about your time in Kirigakure."

At the Uchiha residence, Fugaku sat in the living room, a faint smile on his face, looking at the young man opposite him.

"Well done!" He greatly admired the young man's style and praised him, "I've heard what some people outside are saying, but there's no need to pay them any mind. That's how we Uchiha clan do things!"

As the saying goes, if you're not arrogant, are you still an Uchiha?
"Lord Fugaku, please don't flatter me."

Uchiha Muneki shook his head with a wry smile, looking as if he still had lingering fear: "If I hadn't been lucky this time, I would have really died in Kirigakure."

"Hidden Mist Village? Hmph. A bunch of trash."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku's face showed a hint of anger, and he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Muneki, we Uchiha will avenge you for the Kirigakure's pursuit of you!"

"Uh, really, is it really necessary?" Uchiha Muneki felt a little uneasy.

He was the one who stormed Kirigakure, wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and killed the Mizukage first, so how come he's being treated like a victim in Konoha?

"No need to say more, we have our own plans for this matter!"

Fugaku, unusually assertive, coldly snorted, "I've said it before, you're a member of the Uchiha clan. Since Kirigakure dares to hunt you down, be prepared to pay the price!"

Uchiha Munetsuki was shocked.

Is this the foundation of a powerful nation?
Loved it!

Do you think I'm being unreasonable?

Fugaku gave him a meaningful look, then said calmly, "In the end, the ninja world is ruled by the strong. Don't think that the death of a Mizukage is the answer. Even if you turn Kirigakure upside down, my Uchiha clan can still handle it for you. Do you know what that means?"

Uchiha Muneki looked bewildered.

"Hehe, you'll understand later."

Fugaku didn't offer much explanation, but simply smiled slightly and stared at him intently.

A sixteen-year-old ninja is far from reaching the peak of a ninja's abilities in terms of physical condition, chakra, and experience.

At such a young age, he was able to accomplish such a momentous feat as assassinating the Mizukage.

It's unimaginable that if a few more years passed, with Uchiha Muneki's talent, as long as he didn't perish along the way, he would almost certainly become a powerful ninja who surpassed the Sannin!
When that time comes, the rise of the Uchiha clan will be unstoppable!
At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha seemed to see the future of the Uchiha clan in him, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, imagining a scene in his mind.

First came the genius Uchiha Muneki, and now his son Itachi. The future of the Uchiha clan is simply bright!

Moreover, it might even become a legendary tale of two Hokage from the Uchiha clan, master and disciple!
Thinking of this, Fugaku couldn't sit still any longer. Before Uchiha Muneki could speak, he couldn't contain his excitement: "By the way, I was thinking that you just came back yesterday, so I didn't bother you. I have some good news to tell you. Mikoto gave birth, and it's a boy. Hehehehe."

What the hell?
Uchiha Muneki was shocked once again.

He remembered that when he left, Mikoto was only five months pregnant, and the mission would only last a month.

How could she have given birth in just six months?
Seeing his surprised expression, Fugaku couldn't hide his smile any longer and explained, "Hey, it's probably because Mikoto is usually restless that this child was born a little early."

Born four months early, could it be that I gave birth to a mentally challenged child?
After a brief silence, Uchiha Munetsuki smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Fugaku, on the birth of your son."

"Haha, although this child was born a bit early, it is indeed a joyous occasion."

Fugaku thought of the child, who was born with eyes, and his face lit up with even more joy. He looked at him with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen your future 'disciple' yet, have you? Come on, come on, we're free today, let's go see Itachi together. That kid will definitely satisfy you!" With that, Fugaku got up and walked over.

Without saying a word, she grabbed his sleeve and pulled him toward the backyard.

He had originally planned to play dumb, but now it seemed that Fugaku wasn't giving him any room to refuse, so he could only let Fugaku drag him to the backyard.

"ah?"

The frail Mikoto was sunbathing when she saw them approaching, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Hehe, Mikoto, look, Muneki is back." Fugaku said with a smile, pulling Uchiha Muneki over, and then turned back to him to 'complain': "Muneki, you don't know, Mikoto has been talking about you for so long, just waiting for you to come back and take Itachi as your disciple!"

"You-you're back?"

A blush suddenly appeared on Mikoto's pale, bloodless face. Her bright eyes gazed quietly at the boy, and she chuckled gently, "It's good that you're back safe and sound. Fugaku told me what you did in Kirigakure, and it really gave me a fright."

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Mikoto. I'm fine."

"Big sister, please don't do this!" Uchiha Muneki's face twitched, and he felt inexplicably weak.

If I had known, I wouldn't have leveled up my charm attribute so much. Now look what's happened—the wife can't forget him and even fawns over him in front of her husband.

Fortunately, Fugaku didn't think much of it, and just patted him on the shoulder: "See, Mikoto cares about you so much, just like an older sister, hahaha."

After chatting for a few more minutes in the courtyard, Fugaku had to leave.

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward as the two were left alone. In the way Mikoto looked at him, there was even a hint of longing in her eyes, as if she were looking at her husband who had returned home after a long time. Her pale face was flushed, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, and her eyes were like flowing autumn water, full of charm.

Uchiha Muneki was embarrassed and could only make an excuse, "Ahem, Lady Mikoto, where is Itachi?"

"Ah? Oh, Itachi is inside. I'll take you in~"

Mikoto suddenly woke up, seemingly realizing that the way she had been staring at Munezuki was inappropriate. Her face turned even redder, and she took small steps toward the house.

Looking at her from behind, Mikoto, who had just given birth, seemed to have become even more charming.

Soft clothing clung to her body, outlining her alluring curves. Her legs, hidden beneath her skirt, were straight and long, with delicate toes like nutmegs. She walked ahead with light steps, her round, pert buttocks swaying gently. Combined with that air of elegance, she would probably look quite different in an adult anime.

As she was walking, Mikoto seemed a little lost in thought, and she lost her balance and fell forward.

Fortunately, Uchiha Muneki reacted quickly, stepping forward to embrace Mikoto's slender waist: "Are you alright, Mikoto-sama?"

Feeling the warm hand in her arms, Mikoto felt incredibly shy, her whole body going limp. She instinctively wanted to snuggle closer, her eyes welling with tears, her cheeks flushed, and she parted her lips slightly to exhale a soft breath: "I...I'm alright, thank you."

Madam, please have some self-respect!

Uchiha Munezuki smiled gently, then subtly withdrew his hand: "Please watch your step, Lady Mikoto."

"Um"

Mikoto felt a pang of regret, but quickly recovered and pushed open the door: "Come in, Itachi is still resting."

Uchiha Muneki averted his gaze and followed him into the house.

But as soon as he entered, he unconsciously frowned: This feeling... is somewhat familiar!
Let me lay the groundwork a little bit~
