Chapter 188
"Remember what I told you, the reply for Aunt Hazuki..."
Naruto instructed again.
Aunt Hazuki?
Mikoto couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Could it be... the Hyuga Clan made a move first? They wouldn't directly propose matching Hinatawith Naruto, would they?
"Um, Naruto... actually, there's something you might not know... Sasuke, he... has been hiding it from you..."
Impatient, Mikoto decided to go for the big move right away.
However, Naruto unhurriedly began to size her up.
Today, Mikoto was wearing a long, dark blue dress.
Kneeling on the ground, her calves were slightly exposed.
Her fair legs were slender and firm, showing no signs of having given birth to two children.
Mikoto, with her Jonin strength, also had a slender figure.
Unlike Hyuga Hazuki's fullness, and unlike Yakushi Nonou's lower body!
Overall, very Ninja, very healthy.
Then, Naruto's gaze moved upwards.
The size was just right... Next, her neck.
Her fair neck highlighted her beauty.
Her beautiful face was currently adorned with a gentle smile.
At this moment, the sun slowly dipped below the horizon, and darkness began to descend upon the room.
Naruto, his cheeks shrouded in shadow, shamelessly observed Mikoto, then said, "Are you talking about... the fact that Sasuke is actually Sako, a girl?"
"!!!"
Mikoto's eyes widened, her expression instantly stiffening.
Because she hadn't anticipated that Naruto would know in advance... Well, they always went on missions together, how could it not be exposed?
That child, Sako, was truly too careless!
Mikoto began to inwardly complain about her daughter.
"You're mistaken, Aunt Mikoto, I actually knew the first time I met Sako..."
Naruto changed his posture, leaning forward.
He moved closer to Mikoto, across the low table.
Their eyes met, and Naruto asked indifferently, "Then, to change the Uchiha Clan's situation, what price are you willing to pay, Aunt Mikoto?"
This was the same question Naruto had asked last time.
Originally, helping the Uchiha Clan a little was not a problem.
However, this woman was too unappreciative.
Not only was she a superficial friend, but she also didn't care about old acquaintances.
Moreover, she was still using Sako.
It could be said that with her heart completely devoted to Fugaku, she was an out-and-out love-struck fool.
She was practically a carbon copy of Hinata.
"..."
Mikoto was speechless for a moment.
Her husband hadn't mentioned what the Uchiha Clan could offer.
Besides Sako... However, Naruto knew about Sakofrom the beginning, and with his reputation and methods, if he wanted to... he would definitely be with Sako.
So... "I..."
Mikoto began to think hard.
But after much thought, she realized that Narutodidn't lack any of the things she could come up with.
A young man whose strength was comparable to the Sannin, what could he lack?
Food, clothing, shelter, there were plenty of people to provide for him.
Politically, he would be the future Hokage.
Such a young man, whom all the upper echelons wanted to be close to, and the declining Uchiha... what could they offer?
"I..."
Mikoto suddenly realized that she thought she was well-prepared, but she hadn't prepared at all.
"I won't promise things I can't deliver to acquaintances..."
Naruto suddenly spoke.
"Let's first talk about what I, Uzumaki Naruto, can give to the Uchiha."
Soon, Naruto began to describe the blueprint he had conceived.
Including.
Making the Uchiha Clan a member of Konoha.
"Note... truly integrated into Konoha, not as an afterthought..."
Naruto's words directly shocked Mikoto's heart.
She couldn't help but feel her heart pound.
It was clear that she... was tempted.
This one thing alone made her incredibly eager.
"Then, then the time..."
In her excitement, Mikoto forced herself to calm down.
Because what if Naruto's promise was for 20 years later?
"One month."
Naruto held up a finger.
"In one month, the Uchiha Clan... will completely become a member of Konoha!"
"!!!"
At this point, Mikoto could no longer contain herself.
"Naruto-kun, what... gift do you hope the Uchihawill offer?"
"..."
Naruto didn't speak, but instead stared intently at Mikoto.
Soon, Mikoto's expression changed drastically again: "No... this won't do~~."
Chapter 134. Aunt Mikoto, I want to drink milk.
Even if Mikoto racked her brains, she wouldn't have thought that what Naruto wanted would actually be... "Hmm? Aunt Mikoto, what won't do? What are you saying?"
Naruto suddenly asked strangely, frowning.
"Hmm?"
It was only then that Mikoto realized that she... she might have guessed wrong.
"Oh, I'm sorry, maybe my understanding was flawed, I thought..."
"Thought what?" Naruto rubbed his chin and asked.
"I thought you... you... wanted the Uchiha's Sharingan."
Mikoto thought for a moment and offered a temporary excuse.
"How could that be?"
Naruto shook his head, still staring intently at her.
"Aunt Mikoto, do you still remember the desire I spoke of before?"
Desire?
Mikoto suddenly remembered that this child, Naruto, had said that if he had a mother, she would surely be like her.
Could it be... this child wanted her to be his godmother?
But as long as he and Sako were together... it would be more or less the same meaning.
At that time, she would be this child's mother-in-law, Fugaku would be his father-in-law, and he would have both parents... The next second, Naruto suddenly got up.
Under Mikoto's gaze, he walked towards the refrigerator.
Click.
Naruto opened the refrigerator, and cold air rushed out.
Inside were regularly consumed milk cartons, and in the very back, a few expired ones.
At this moment, Naruto gazed at the neatly arranged cartons of milk before him and spoke faintly, "Aunt Mikoto... I suddenly want to drink milk..."
Mikoto: "..."
...The darkening sky.
Behind Konoha Mountain, on a small peak.
In the deepening night, Sako's face was cold, and blue arcs of light were leaping in her hand.
Without a doubt.
Within one afternoon, Sako had learned "Lightning Release Nature Transformation."
A Chakra paper lay on the ground.
From the damaged marks on it, Sako possessed both "Fire" and "Lightning" attributes.
Sako had learned the Fire attribute when she was very young.
And Lightning... "Indeed... worthy of being Itachi's sister..."
Kakashi sighed in his heart.
Like her brother, she was an absolute genius.
No, perhaps Sako was even more of a genius than Itachi.
"Very good, that's all for today. Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock..."
Kakashi set the time, and as soon as he finished speaking, Sako turned and slid down the peak.
"Still as cold as ever, huh..."
Kakashi's face drooped, looking utterly speechless.
