Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 122 Mikoto, the Widow Seeking Revenge

"Thank you, Natsume."

Mikoto Uchiha wiped away her tears and said, "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid no one in the Uchiha clan would have left alive tonight."

Although she didn't know what role he played in it, it was too late to delve into it now.

The surviving members of the Uchiha clan prioritized survival over revenge.

Natsume chuckled softly, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his face.

She is indeed a smart woman.

He took out a kimono, handed it to her, and said, "Aunt Mikoto, please change into this."

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at her disheveled clothes and blushed.

She took the kimono, held it to her chest, and softly uttered two more words: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Natsume observed her amusing reaction and said, "You and my teacher are best friends, so it's only right that I take care of you."

Mikoto Uchiha felt his aggressive gaze, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

Just as she was beginning to misunderstand, Natsume stood up and said, "Aunt Mikoto, change your clothes, and then we'll talk."

He left the room and closed the door.

The next moment, Natsume raised an eyebrow, reached out, and grabbed the little assassin on his head.

"Ugh! Damn it! Just a little bit more!"

Tayuya looked annoyed.

Why aren't you wearing the clothes I gave you today?

Natsume glanced at it and immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.

"You pervert! I won't let you get away with this!"

Tayuya has already learned from Uzumaki Ena that the clothes she was wearing earlier were maid outfits.

So she angrily changed back into her original outfit.

Natsume pinched her chin, looked her up and down, and said, "Since you're not wearing that outfit, I'll change you into something more normal."

Duoyu was also unable to speak, her black eyes staring at him, even her eyelashes seemed to be straining, trembling slightly.

"Tsk, you have a good eye."

Natsume reached out his arm, supported her body, and led her into the room.

"kimono?"

Tayu was prepared to be humiliated, but she didn't expect it to be a normal piece of clothing.

A pink kimono with hemp leaf patterns paired with a black fitted haori, which is also a coat.

"What? Do you want me to help you get dressed?"

Natsume asked with a slight smile.

Tayuya gave a soft hum, ultimately not refusing.

She changed into this kimono only after watching him leave the room.

"Not bad at all."

Tayuya looked at her reflection in the glasses and was somewhat satisfied.

"That pervert seems to have forgotten to punish me today."

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and a sense of relief welled up inside her.

The main problem is that scratching the soles of your feet is really torturous.

Natsume went back into the room.

"Well enough."

His smile deepened as he said, "Now comes the punishment."

"???"

Tayuya instinctively took a few steps back and asked warily, "What punishment?"

"Don't worry, it's not the same as last time."

Natsume shook his head and said.

Tayuya was clearly even more worried.

The last time was already horrific, what will it be like this time?

She should have known that this bastard wouldn't let her go.

"Open your mouth."

Natsume's lips curled into a smile.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Tayuya's heart skipped a beat. Was she going to be given some kind of poison?

"You always talk rudely to me, so you'd better shut up for a couple of days."

Under her questioning and frightened gaze, Natsume pulled out... a section of bamboo tube.

"Eh?"

Tayuya was momentarily stunned.

"Bite it."

Natsume placed the bamboo tube near her mouth.

Tayuya immediately understood what he wanted to do.

She revealed her two little tiger teeth and bit down hard on the bamboo tube, as if she were biting Natsume herself.

It wasn't actually Natsume's twisted sense of humor.

He simply had Tayuya role-play.

At this moment, she was dressed as Kamado Nezuko from Demon Slayer.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

Ignoring Tayuya's fixed gaze, Natsume patted her head and said, "See you next time."

He returned to Mikoto Uchiha's room.

After changing her clothes, the woman's mental state improved significantly, and she was no longer so dejected.

"Natsume, where are we now?"

Uchiha Mikoto knelt on the ground with her hands on her lap, a typical Japanese gesture.

"The Country of Waves."

Natsume wasn't used to kneeling, so he sat down cross-legged.

"It's the Land of Waves?"

Mikoto Uchiha raised her beautiful eyes, revealing a surprised expression.

She was so grief-stricken last night that she didn't even notice how she got there.

Hearing that she was now far from the Land of Fire left her feeling quite disoriented.

Her life was actually quite simple.

She had average talent, but was fortunate enough to be chosen by Fugaku Uchiha and entered the stage of being a wife and mother.

If it weren't for Itachi Uchiha, this kind of life would probably have continued for the rest of his life without any major upheavals.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Natsume asked with great interest.

"Intend……"

A look of confusion appeared on Mikoto Uchiha's face, but it quickly transformed into an extremely complex emotion.

Sadness, regret, hatred, etc.

It's hard to describe in words.

"If possible, I want revenge."

Mikoto Uchiha took a deep breath and said, "As his mother, I failed to raise Itachi properly, and I must correct his mistakes."

Natsume was slightly taken aback.

Does this imply that he wants to take all of this on behalf of Uchiha Sasuke?

What a wonderful mother!

"Sharingan, do you know how many steps there are in evolution?"

Natsume thought for a moment and then asked.

"I am aware of that."

Mikoto Uchiha said in a deep voice, "Ordinary Sharingan are one-tomoe, two-tomoe, and three-tomoe, but above that, there is the Mangekyou Sharingan. Itachi's eyes are the fourth type, the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"It seems you are not entirely ignorant."

Natsume picked up his teacup and said, "Then you should also know that the three-tomoe Sharingan is powerless against the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Mikoto Uchiha's face immediately darkened.

Yes.

How come she didn't know?

I really want revenge.

Perhaps we can only wait until Uchiha Sasuke grows up.

Because he has the potential to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Otherwise, we can only hand it over to outsiders, such as Uchiha Izumi.

She did not see Uchiha Shisui last night, so she believes that his fate is still unknown.

But Itachi Uchiha was her son, and she wanted to deal with him herself.

"I learned from the Second Hokage's research that awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan may not require any special talent; the necessary condition is extreme emotional stimulation."

Natsume said slowly, "You have a chance to unlock it. As long as you are willing to pay the price, I can help you."

He brought up Tobirama Senju to make his argument more convincing.

As expected, Mikoto Uchiha didn't doubt his words. She raised her head, gritted her teeth, and said, "I should have died last night. Since I'm alive, I'm not afraid of any consequences. Sasuke is young, and I'd rather he live happily than fight with his brother."

"What a wonderful mother."

Natsume sighed and said, "I will do my best to help you open your eyes."

That's true.

If I could get another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, that would be really great.

Their organization can also grow stronger.

Even with such a huge shock last night, Mikoto Uchiha still couldn't awaken her Mangekyou Sharingan.

That's difficult.

First update.
