From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 80 A Gift, or a Curse

Holy crap, Fugaku!
Uchiha Munetsuki nearly lost his composure, but ultimately managed to calm himself down in time.

It's okay, it's not a big problem. He's not really doing anything bad with Mikoto in secret. There's no need to be afraid of her husband coming to the door.

As the saying goes: A straight body casts a straight shadow!

He hasn't done anything wrong, so why is he afraid of ghosts knocking on his door?

Thinking this through, Uchiha Munetsuki calmed down, adjusted his glasses, and turned to look at Mikoto, intending to have her explain: "Mikoto..."

When he turned around, he saw a scene that was utterly horrifying.

Mikoto, cradling her round belly, tiptoed in her clean white socks, looking like a wife caught cheating, sneaking into his bedroom.

Shh~ Don't~ let~ Fugaku~ know~ I'm~ here~

She put a finger to her lips and tried to speak silently, word by word.

What the hell are you shushing for?!
Mikoto's unexpected move silenced Uchiha Muneki.

Even if he had a thousand mouths, he couldn't explain himself now that he'd smeared mud on his crotch.
Should I tell Fugaku: "There's something I need to tell you, but don't rush me. Even though your wife came to see me at night and hid in my bedroom, I'm really innocent with her?"
Ha. Fugaku would probably tear him apart.

Uchiha Muneki was engaged in a fierce internal struggle within his mind.

Fugaku, who was outside the door, simply pushed the door open and walked in. He looked around the room and chuckled, "Sorry, Munezuki, I knocked on the door for a long time, but you didn't respond, so I decided to come in and check on you. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"I didn't disturb you, Lord Fugaku."

Uchiha Muneki's lips twitched slightly as he pushed the power of the sequence to its limit.

He was willing to risk his reputation in Konoha to ensure that Fugaku didn't find out about his wife, who was hiding in the bedroom behind a wall!

This is no joke; if we get caught, people will die.

Yes, of course, it was Fugaku who died.

After composing himself, Uchiha Munetsuki adopted his usual composure, sat down on the ground, and said calmly, "It's so late, Lord Fugaku, is there something you need?"

Although Fugaku felt something was vaguely strange, he didn't take it to heart and sat cross-legged: "Hehe, there is indeed something. Regarding your future within the Uchiha, I discussed it with the elders and decided to give you the position of 'elder'."

"Me? An elder?"

Uchiha Munetsuki paused slightly, then hesitated and said, "But, Lord Fugaku, if I become an elder, what about the others?"

"Hey~ don't worry, I'll handle the rest."

Fugaku waved his hand and said, "This is the result of discussions between me and the elders. Moreover, you have made great contributions to Konoha and successfully improved the reputation of the Uchiha clan. This is a great achievement!"

The two chatted for a while longer, with Uchiha Munetsuki trying his best to maintain the atmosphere and prevent Fugaku from realizing that his wife was in the next room.

Separated by a wall, Mikoto, hiding in her bedroom, felt her heart pounding wildly.

She had no idea how she suddenly ended up in the bedroom.

Her husband lived just a wall away.

But now she was in a strange man's bedroom, the room filled with a pleasant scent that made her twitch her nose involuntarily. But she quickly realized that what she was doing was too shameful, not to mention that Fugaku was right next to her. Her cheeks immediately burned and her whole body felt numb.

Her whole being felt light and airy, enveloped by an unprecedented sense of excitement and tension.

'Calm down, Misaka!'

She gently pinched her cheek and shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake off those thoughts.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Mikoto was feeling dizzy, the door was pushed open.

"Ah!" Mikoto was startled, but when she saw it was Munezuki, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you so surprised about?" Uchiha Muneki's eyes twitched. He suppressed the retort that was about to come out and said gently, "Lady Mikoto, Lord Fugaku has already left. Let's start the treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good if we go back too late."

"Oh, okay."

Mikoto bit her lip, spread her legs and sat like a duck, shyly tugging at the hem of her clothes: "Let's do it here, we can start now."

Uchiha Muneki remained expressionless, having completely given up. He then sat down directly opposite her and said, "Lady Mikoto, please close your eyes, relax your mind, and remember not to resist."

"Hmm~"

Mikoto responded sweetly, closing her eyes and looking completely at ease.

Gathering his thoughts and focusing his attention, Uchiha Muneki's eyes gleamed with a faint golden light. However, somewhat unexpectedly, Mikoto was completely unguarded towards him, easily opening the gate to her mind and body, thus directly entering the ocean of his mind.

It was like a fleeting dream; Mikoto was completely absorbed in it, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

Soon, the treatment was over.

Mikoto slowly opened her eyes, feeling warm and comfortable all over. She stretched and said, "Hmm~ Thank you, Munezuki."

"It's alright, Lady Mikoto."

Uchiha Muneki looked calm and composed, and said, "Psychological therapy is just an external force, so please don't feel too much pressure."

"Hmm~ I know." Mikoto didn't know why, but she just felt a sense of familiarity with Munekisuki. Her tone unconsciously carried a hint of intimacy as she stared at him with her big, bright eyes, asking expectantly, "Can I come to see you again next time?"

"Of course, Lady Mikoto."

Uchiha Muneki did not refuse her. A plan suddenly flashed through his mind, and he said, "However, I may not be around sometimes, so you can take this amulet with you."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite amulet from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is?"

Mikoto took the amulet, a hint of doubt appearing on her beautiful face.

"This is a technique I'm just starting to try."

Uchiha Munezuki replied, "The amulet seals a portion of my abilities. Although the effect is not very strong, wearing it regularly can help stabilize your emotions."

"That's great!"

Mikoto happily accepted the amulet and kept it close to her body: "Thank you so much, Munezuki."

"It's alright. It's my honor to be able to help Lady Mikoto."

Uchiha Muneki gazed into her eyes, his voice as gentle as a breeze as he spoke softly.

Mikoto's face flushed even more, her heart pounding. She had no choice but to stand up: "I...I'll be going now. See you next time."

Watching Mikoto's flustered departure, Uchiha Muneki pushed up his glasses, a glint of light in his eyes. In a voice only he could hear, he said meaningfully, "A blessing, or a curse. I hope you like my gift, Uchiha Itachi."

The talisman he gave to Uchiha Mikoto contained some of the hypnotist's abilities.

However, there was a little bit of other 'trinkets' mixed in.

For example, the ramblings of a real rapper.
