To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Uchiha Mikoto saluted Uchiha Shigeka in a proper manner: "Master, Uchiha Mikoto is here to report."

Uchiha Shigeka touched Uchiha Mikoto's head helplessly, feeling her hair as soft as silk: "I'm not the clan leader yet."

"What's the problem? As long as Chonghua does it, he will definitely get what he wants. I'm just rehearsing it in advance..."

Uchiha Shigeka interrupted Mikoto and flicked her forehead unhappily.

"Even if I really become the clan leader, nothing will change. I still like you to call me by my name."

"It hurts..." Uchiha Mikoto touched her slightly red forehead, a little aggrieved: "I know, why did you hit me so hard?"

Uchiha Shigeka smiled faintly and moved closer: "Come, let me blow it for you."

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto's face was a little rosy, and a warm breath came from above her head.

The alternation of warmth and coolness made her heart beat rapidly.

Uchiha Mikoto twisted her body and glanced around out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that no one appeared, she bravely hugged Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Shigeka paused, then responded to Mikoto by stretching out his arms and hugging her.

The two of them felt each other's questions and listened to each other's heartbeats, and the atmosphere was somewhat charming.

"Chonghua..."

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at Uchiha Shigeka with a dazed look.

Uchiha Shigeka was stunned for a moment.

In this situation... Eh? In front of Mikoto's house?

Uchiha Shigeka swallowed and looked behind Mikoto guiltily.

——Uncle Lutai wouldn’t be there observing their situation.

Uchiha Shigeka closed his eyes and Kagura's heart's eye was activated.

Uchiha Shigeka opened his eyes and looked to the left in silence. Behind the wall, Uchiha Tadashi's chakra was flashing violently.

You are so disrespectful to your elders, Uchiha Tadao.

Kissing in front of Mikoto's father... was a bit difficult.

"Chonghua..."

Uchiha Mikoto murmured, and Uchiha Shigeka looked down, somewhat surprised.

Her face is like a blooming peach blossom in spring, and her beautiful eyes are as moist as waves.

If a beautiful woman invites you, you would not be a man if you refuse!

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes instantly turned into Mangekyō Sharingan with sickle patterns.

The sickle in his left eye rotated and pupil power burst out.

Tsukuyomi!

Under Uchiha Mikoto's surprised gaze, the two of them immediately entered the Tsukuyomi space woven by Uchiha Shigeka.

With lush greenery, singing birds and fragrant flowers, it is a truly beautiful sight.

"What a nice view."

Uchiha Mikoto sighed, looked at Uchiha Shigeka and asked in confusion: "Is this the illusion space created by Shigeka? It is so lifelike... It must be the pupil technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan. I have been studying hard in this area these days since I came back!"

Uchiha Mikoto looked like she was begging for praise.

"Should I talk about this now?"

Uchiha Shigeka directly pulled Uchiha Mikoto over, and when she screamed, he lowered his head and sealed her lips.

Uchiha Mikoto held her breath and shyly welcomed Shigeka's kiss.

In this ambiguous scene, an idea suddenly flashed through Uchiha Mikoto's little head.

——Why do we have to kiss in the illusion space? Can’t we do it in reality?

Uchiha Mikoto soon found out the reason.

Uchiha Mikoto pinched her lips with her small hands, her face flushed, and stared at Uchiha Shigeka disappearing at the end of the street, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"Hey, Mikoto, that guy has gone far away."

"Ah, ah? Dad? When did you get here?"

Uchiha Mikoto came back to her senses and looked at her father Uchiha Tadao in surprise.

Uchiha Taroko said unhappily: "When did my presence become so weak? You, dad has been here for a while."

He looked at his daughter in confusion as she pinched her lips.

He understood why his daughter blushed. It was normal for her to be shy when hugging Chonghua.

But this pinched lips...

Uchiha Mikoto noticed her father's strange gaze, paused, and then let go as if nothing had happened.

"Dad, let's go back."

Uchiha Mikoto walked into the house first.

She might understand why Chonghua created the illusion space.

Uchiha Mikoto puffed her cheeks and looked at Uchiha Tadao with dissatisfaction.

——Dad must have been watching them nearby.

Humph, it’s all dad’s fault.

The kiss in the illusion space is beautiful and memorable.

But Mikoto still hopes to kiss in real life!

......

Chapter 171: Chonghua’s dream may not be impossible to achieve

As the second-in-command of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tadao naturally has a lot of forces surrounding him.

There were only a few days left before Uchiha Zhaoping's funeral ceremony, and Uchiha Shigeka followed Uchiha Lutai to recognize people and pay his respects at the dock.

"Since it is the will of Master Lutai, we will naturally not go against it."

Inside the room, the Uchiha clan members looked at each other, then looked up at Uchiha Shigeka - mainly at his eyes.

Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Shigeka has been walking around with his Mangekyō Sharingan open these days.

The Uchiha clan is proud of their bloodline. Whether the Sharingan is opened and the number of magatama have given rise to a set of secret unspoken rules within the Uchiha clan.

The more powerful a person's Sharingan is, the higher his status is.

Even the Uchiha clan members who disliked Uchiha Shigeka had to admit that Uchiha Shigeka was very powerful because of the achievements he made on the battlefield.

Now with the Mangekyō Sharingan, he is even more powerful.

[Demigod] Chonghua, that’s his reputation gained through killing!

They looked at Uchiha Shigeka with awe.

These people did not hesitate at all. They gathered around Uchiha Tadao and naturally followed Uchiha Tadao's will.

In particular, they felt that Uchiha Shigeka, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, had a great chance of winning if he ran for the position of clan leader...so why not join the vote?

But there is some noise.

Some people had flickering eyes and hesitant expressions.

Someone walked up to Uchiha Taroko and whispered to him, "Master Taroko, Chonghua is not from the same faction as us after all."

Uchiha Bachi had a calm smile on his face. After hearing his confidant's words, he said without turning his head: "So what? Do we have an essential conflict with Chonghua?"

"Hirato, if we can get close to Konoha, why can't we go one step further and get closer to the Hokage?"

Uchiha Tadai looked back at the surprised Uchiha Hirato.

"This... this doesn't match what we're asking for. The Third Hokage, he's Sarutobi, not Senju."

The reason why the Konoha faction was dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen was that he was from the Sarutobi clan.

What merits did the Sarutobi clan have? He was just a younger brother of the Senju clan. How could he be on an equal footing with the Uchiha clan? Now even a member of the clan has become the Hokage of Konoha, and is above them?

Of course, they are not as extreme as the extremists. They either want to break away from Konoha and become independent, or they want to launch a rebellion to kill the Third Hokage, seize the position of Hokage into the hands of the Uchiha and take control of Konoha.

The Konoha faction was only psychologically annoyed by Sarutobi Hiruzen becoming the Hokage, but it was not to the point of rebellion.

Their approach is to follow orders rather than announcements.

If there is a war, they are willing to follow the orders of the Hokage and go into battle to kill the enemy.

But in normal times? The Uchiha clan has its own set of family rules and it is not the Hokage's turn to intervene.

This is an unspoken practice among the major clans of Konoha, but each clan has a different degree of closeness with the Hokage. For some clans, the Hokage can command them at will, while for others, there are many constraints.

The Uchiha clan is one of those clans that have many constraints.

"Master Taroko, the Third Hokage must have instructed Shigeka to become the clan leader. He is meddling in the internal affairs of our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Hirato said dissatisfiedly: "And it's in the important matter of selecting the clan leader! The Uchiha clan is our family affair, it is not the turn of the Third Hokage to interfere!"

"Calm down, Hirato." Uchiha Tadai looked at him, "I know you don't like the Third Hokage because of his background, and you are also dissatisfied with Shigeka for being close to the Hokage."

"You need to look longer."

Uchiha Ridai looked at Uchiha Shigeka who was chatting happily with the members of his group, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Zhonghua is not an ordinary person, he is very smart. Everyone says he is loyal and righteous, I don't deny it. But he has come to this point not just by being loyal and righteous, his own wisdom must have played a role in this."

Uchiha Ridai patted Uchiha Hirato's arm and said with a smile: "I have interacted with Shigeka more than you do, and I know him better than you do. Hirato, you know Shigeka's dream, right?"

"Everyone in the clan knows that he has become the Hokage."

"Do you think Chonghua's dream can come true?"

Uchiha Hirato shook his head without hesitation: "No, how could the Third Hokage and his men allow an Uchiha to become Hokage."

"The Third Hokage is optimistic about Shigeka only because he wants to use him to do something to us Uchiha and drive a wedge to control us."

Uchiha Tadao pointed at Uchiha Hirato and smiled as expected: "You also think that Shigeka is the Third Hokage's dog."

Uchiha Hirato was stunned. This was a bit harsh. He actually bluntly called Huahua a dog.

"If it's really as I thought, then Chonghua has left such an impression on you guys, which is really deep-rooted - it's a bit scary."

"But I am different. I thought of another possibility, so I have confidence in Chonghua."

"What's possible?"

Uchiha Hirato questioned.

Uchiha Tadai smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "We are not satisfied with the Third Hokage, but what about the Fourth Hokage?"

"You said, can we, the Uchiha clan, fight for the Fourth Hokage?"

Uchiha Tadai stood up.

"I'm just offering a possibility, and I'm betting on this possibility."

"Pingren, think about it. Are you willing to follow me and place a bet? If it succeeds, it will not violate the demands of our faction. On the contrary, it is the right way to achieve our demands!"

"That's all I have to say. Don't make it public."

Uchiha Ridai patted Uchiha Hirato's shoulders a few times and walked towards Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Hirato was left with his pupils dilated, his mouth slightly open, and his heart pounding.

The words of the traveler exploded in his mind...

It took Uchiha Hirato a long time to come back to his senses. He calmed himself down, his eyes thoughtful.

......

This time, I had a very pleasant conversation with Uchiha Taidai's trusted subordinates.

No one objected, and everyone followed Uchiha Tadao and chose to support Uchiha Shigeka to become the next head of the Uchiha clan.
