Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　That's it.

　As the captain of the Anbu, Hatake Sakumo knew every member of the Anbu very well; this was the most basic requirement for a captain.

　The function of this.

　Mikoto Uchiha is a descendant of Kagami Uchiha, and thus part of the Hokage lineage. Joining the Anbu is in line with the Hokage's work.

　Support and trust.

　Hatake Sakumo had met Uchiha Kagami before and was taught by him, so he treated Mikoto like...

　They are his juniors, and he takes good care of them.

　At this moment, Mikoto was not wearing the mask that represented her identity as an ANBU member, Tengu.

　"How is Yoru's recovery going?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

　"My lady, Yoruichi-kun has awakened and his complexion has improved considerably," Uchiha Mikoto replied.

　However, recalling Ye Chen's coldness, a strange emotion welled up within her. She subconsciously felt that it was her fault.

　I felt guilty because I didn't do well enough.

　Is that so? This is really troublesome, Mikoto. I don't feel comfortable leaving Yoruichi with someone else. But you're different, even though you are...

　"Uchiha clan, but I know you're a good girl," Hatake Sakumo said.

　It is my duty, sir. Yoru-kun is a hero of Konoha, and it is my honor to take care of him.

　As Mikoto Uchiha spoke, a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face, radiating healing power.

　Hatake Sakumo observed this and sighed inwardly. He had his own reasons for assigning Mikoto to take care of Yoru.

　Yoruichi and the Uchiha clan do not have a good relationship, and Mikoto may be the link that restores their relationship.

　Currently, Tsunade is fighting Hanzo, the demigod, on the front lines. There aren't many female ninjas left in the camp, and Sakumo Hatake isn't either.

　Don't worry about the others.

　Ye Chen is a special case, which is why he thought of Uchiha Mikoto.

　"Mikoto, I'm counting on you for the time being," Sakumo Hatake said earnestly once again.

　Mikoto Uchiha nodded, remembering Sakumo's words. After talking with him for a while, she slowly left.

　Shortly after Mikoto left, an ANBU member appeared out of nowhere, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said:

　My lord, here are the battle reports from the front lines and a secret letter from the Hokage.

　Let's start with the battle report.

　Sakumo Hatake left his desk and walked to the front of the Anbu headquarters, his expression grave.

　Lady Tsunade, Lady Jiraiya, and Lady Orochimaru are currently fighting Hanzo, but they are at a disadvantage. Should...?

　"Support?" the ANBU ninja said.

　Send a team of Jonin to meet them and ensure their safety. Hanzo is renowned and possesses the power of a demigod.

　He was said to be no ordinary person.

　Sakumo Hatake said that he was not surprised by this result; Tsunade and the other two had persisted for so long.

　(1/3)

　This bought Konoha some time to recover, allowing them to focus their efforts on dealing with the Rain Ninja.

　"Yes," the ANBU ninja said.

　"Tell me about the Hokage's secret intelligence," Hatake Sakumo said.

　Upon hearing this, the ANBU ninja took out a scroll, formed a hand seal, and the contents of the scroll were revealed.

　The above content roughly states that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was unable to reach the front lines, and Sakumo temporarily assumed the roles of Hokage and Kazekage.

　After the signing of the ceasefire agreement, Sakumo Hatake took charge of all matters, large and small, in the Land of Rain.

　"You may leave." Sakumo Hatake waved his hand sternly and walked to his desk to sit down.

　The ANBU ninja vanished into thin air, turning into a wisp of smoke.

　Although the Hokage's secret report was only a few words long, it made Sakumo Hatake feel a responsibility as heavy as a mountain.

　The pressure comes from the Hokage's trust, and I cannot betray that trust under any circumstances.

　Besides the battle with the Land of Rain, signing a ceasefire agreement with the Kazekage and Tsuchikage is also a very important task.

　The task is of utmost importance, as it concerns the peace between the three kingdoms.

　Hatake Sakumo understood that although the Iwa ninja and Sunagakure ninja had been defeated in the war...

　But if we go to the negotiating table, it will be another invisible war!

　Faced with interests, the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are unlikely to make significant concessions.

　At the other end of the camp, Uchiha Mikoto returned to her lodgings and took out the ramen she had bought in the town of Rain Country, along with mushrooms.

　The meat chunks, along with some other ingredients, were used to simmer another pot of nourishing soup.

　She did it very seriously, meticulously, and dared not make the slightest mistake.

　She was genuinely happy about the task assigned by the captain, feeling that she could take care of Ye Jun and repay him.

　Their kindness is truly immense.

　She wasn't good at expressing her feelings; she just gave silently. As long as Ye Jun was happy, her mood would brighten.

　It's all worth it, no matter what you do.

　After carefully simmering the nourishing soup for about an hour, Uchiha Mikoto gently scooped it out of a lunchbox, her every movement revealing...

　Very gentle, with sparkling eyes and a joyful expression.

　She took the soup and lunch boxes and walked out of the tent, heading happily towards Ye Chen's residence.

　However, before he could take more than a few steps, he was stopped by a figure that suddenly appeared.

　The man before me had a typical Uchiha clan spiky hairstyle, and his clothes were printed with blue and red...

　The fan-shaped mark, and especially the three-tomoe Sharingan flashing in its pupils, signifies that this is another member of the Uchiha clan.

　A young genius.

　"Where are you going, Mikoto?" the man asked.

　Mikoto Uchiha glanced at the man before her, her expression calm, and said, "Fugaku, step aside, I have something to say."

　Other things.

　Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku, was one of the geniuses of the Uchiha clan in his youth.

　In fact, the Uchiha clan has never lacked geniuses in this war-torn region.

　Every year, a few young men with three tomoe (a type of magical artifact) appear!

　But very few actually survived this turbulent, war-torn era. Fugaku Uchiha was one of the few who did.

　To prove that he did indeed have

　(2/3)

　Where people are.

　You've changed, Mikoto. We've spoken less since you joined the Anbu. I remember before, you...

　"You used to tell me everything, but now I find you're avoiding me," said Fugaku Uchiha, a glint in his eyes.

　He wore a look of pain.

　Brother Fugaku, joining the Konoha Anbu was my grandfather's wish, and I honor that wish. As for what we're saying...

　"We didn't do it often back when we were kids. We all have to grow up, don't we?" Uchiha Mikoto said.

　"I don't think it's just because I've grown up. Mikoto, who's that lunchbox in your hand for?" Fugaku Uchiha asked.

　"This is my own business, don't ask anymore," Mikoto Uchiha said coldly.

　After speaking, Mikoto Uchiha walked straight past Fugaku Uchiha and left. (3/3)

Chapter 216 Mikoto, Feed Me (Third Update)

　Given the slug's bizarre behavior, Ye Chen was truly speechless at this eccentric spirit beast.

　It almost ate itself to death! Could it be any more heartless?

　Lord Ye Chen, why do I sense a malice emanating from you?

　The little slug wriggled in front of Ye Chen, occasionally rolling over and secreting mucus to speed up the digestion of its contents.

　food.

　Ye Chen lay in bed, utterly bored, completely oblivious to the little slug's behavior.

　It seems I was overthinking and being suspicious not long ago.

　I'm genuinely worried that Mikoto Uchiha might be brainwashed by the Uchiha clan and then poison me.
