Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 234 Bold Private Talk Between Best Friends

This morning was just a small test; no matter how varied the breakfast options are, they can't compare to lunch and dinner.

Itachi and Sasuke don't eat much; even when they're full, they can't eat much more. Mikoto's appetite also decreased after she stopped being a ninja.

The breakfast mainly went into Uchiha Gen's stomach, leaving little Sasuke staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

I can't understand how a stomach that's not much bigger than my own can hold so much food...

This is similar to how ordinary people feel when they see a real competitive eater.

Why is it all about the belly? Yours is so much better.

After breakfast, the servants cleared away the dishes, and the children went to work or school. Mikoto, carrying little Sasuke, saw them off at the door.

Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Itachi chatted as they left the clan compound.

The two parted ways at the entrance to the clan's territory; one headed towards the police station on the edge of the village, while the other went to the ninja academy in the center of the village.

After tidying up the house, Mikoto took Sasuke to Kushina's house, planning to buy some stockings and high heels on the way back.

Along the way, Uchiha clan members greeted Mikoto and Sasuke warmly, without a trace of disdain on their faces. In fact, the woman even showed a hint of envy.

The people in the large family were not entirely accustomed to the old patriarch's widow following the new patriarch, but they were also used to it.

Not to mention that Uchiha Gen, the clan leader, is so young, handsome, capable, and has enormous potential.

This is actually a major reason why Mikoto agreed to her father's suggestion, and also why Setsuna was able to bring it up with a clear conscience.

If it were someone like the Second Elder or Third Elder, who were in their early old age, Mikoto would never have agreed, and Setsuna would never have brought it up.

The struggle will end there.

When Mikoto arrived at Kushina's house, Karin Uzumaki was also there, as expected.

Because Anna Uzumaki was busy at Konoha Hospital, Kushina took the initiative to take care of Karin.

Karin usually eats lunch at Kushina's place, while she eats breakfast and dinner at home, and occasionally she also eats dinner at Kushina's place.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin will likely become childhood friends in the future.

It's uncertain whether Karin will develop feelings for Sasuke after they grow up together like childhood sweethearts.

After all, without Sasuke saving her life, and besides, spending so much time together would make her immune to even the most handsome face.

As always, the three children played on the side, while Kushina and Mikoto sat together, knitting and chatting.

"How are you feeling?"

Kushina reached out and gently patted Mikoto's shoulder.

Mikoto turned her head, looking puzzled, and said, "What are you saying out of the blue?"

"Hehe, I heard you moved and are living with that little guy, Uchiha Gen."

Born into the Uzumaki clan, the now-grown Kushina Uzumaki understands the significance of Mikoto moving in.

She didn't have any particular opinion about her best friend.

Little one?

Mikoto recalled the scene in the bathroom last night and thought to herself that it wasn't a little guy, but a big one.

"It was pretty good. Xuan's cooking skills were amazing, and he was also very imaginative, creating many new dishes that had never been seen before."

"For example, this morning's breakfast was something I'd never had before, and most importantly, it was delicious."

"Let me tell you, especially that soy milk and fried dough sticks, they're delicious on their own, but when you put them together, it's just... "

Mikoto's voice grew softer and softer until she was speechless under Kushina's meaningful gaze. She lowered her head and pretended to be engrossed in knitting.

"Speak up, why did you stop talking?"

Kushina gently bumped Mikoto's shoulder and said.

"Your attempt to evade the question and change the subject won't fool anyone."

"I didn't change the subject."

"Keep pretending. We've all been there, you know what I'm saying, right?"

Are we still best friends who can talk about anything?

Kushina smiled broadly, looking as if she knew everything. Her hands flew up and down on the surface of the half-finished sweater, her knitting skills were clearly quite proficient.

"If nothing was done, how could you possibly feel anything?"

Mikoto's words were somewhat nonsensical, but Kushina understood them.

"How could that be?"

"Could it be that that kid looks down on you and finds you unattractive?"

"How dare he look down on my best friend? I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson."

After imagining everything, Kushina's mouth started babbling away like she'd swallowed gunpowder.

"no."

"No way, is he already impotent at such a young age?"

"He's still young; if he goes to the hospital sooner, he can still be saved."

Kushina raised her hand to cover her mouth, looking incredulous.

If Uchiha Gen hadn't been there, he would definitely have turned into a ranter and insulted everyone. Who would he be insulting?

If you're no good, your whole family is no good. Who do you think you are?

If you don't believe me, then let's have a real fight!

"No, it's like this..."

Mikoto glanced at the three little ones who were having a great time, then leaned close to Kushina's ear and told her the reason.

After listening, Kushina looked conflicted and said, "This kid... how should I put it?"

"You say he's not faithful, yet he stays by his girlfriend's side; you say he's faithful, yet he wants to have women on both sides..."

Mikoto didn't mention the conversation in the bathroom, or the stockings and high heels.

It's not that I'm holding back on Kushina, it's just that it's too embarrassing to say.

"It's not that strange, human nature is always complex."

You're right.

"Alas, I thought we were in the same boat, but I never imagined you would leave me so soon."

"Thank goodness I still have Naruto, otherwise I really don't know how I would have survived..."

Mikoto lowered her head and continued knitting. "Are you really not planning to find someone else?"

"The absence of a father's love has a significant impact on a child. You're still young; are you really going to suffer like this for the rest of your life?"

"The deceased is gone. I think even if you do find someone else, given Minato's love for you and his personality, he won't blame you."

Kushina shook her head and said, "If I can't get over it in my heart, then let's just leave it at that."

"Perhaps I'll change my mind in the future, but I really don't have any plans to find someone else right now."

Mikoto nudged Kushina lightly with her shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Do you ever think about that?"

When her best friend whispered to her, Kushina didn't hide anything. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice, "I do think about it sometimes."

"Solving it yourself is never that simple... you know what I mean."

"But there's no other way; I can't exactly find some random guy, can I?"

Mikoto's eyes lit up, and she offered a suggestion: "You can find a ninja you like who is also proficient in transformation techniques, and have him transform into Minato's appearance when you're being intimate."

"Isn't this much less of a psychological barrier?"

"Oh dear, what are you saying? Isn't this just fooling yourself?"

"Besides, I don't have any men I like. Let's not talk about these embarrassing things and talk about something else."

Kushina's pretty face instantly turned crimson. She raised her hand and gently slapped Mikoto, secretly asking herself a question.

Realizing her own thoughts, Kushina was startled and felt a pang of guilt, so she quickly nipped the idea in the bud.

Mikoto rolled her eyes and said, "You started it first, okay?"

Despite this, Mikoto still brought up the topic of cosmetics.

……

Time flies, and the New Year's Day holiday is fast approaching.

Taking advantage of the holiday, Uchiha Gen outwardly stayed at home, but in reality, he secretly left Konoha and headed to the Land of Wind.

Although he knew that he would lose his virginity on this journey, Uchiha Gen still insisted on heading towards the tiger's den!
