Chapter 179 The Distance Between Winning Over Mikoto, Preparing for the Village

Chapter 179 The distance between myself and Mikoto, preparing to return to the village.

The already queenly and dignified teak figure suddenly became even more intimidating.

Some of the Cloud Village ninjas didn't dare to laugh or joke in front of their Yugito-sama, keeping their heads down and pretending not to see him.

"Hmph, is it because of that Uchiha Kiyoshi guy again?"

Teakman felt agitated.

Considering that the village would still need the power of the Two-Tails in the future, he had no choice but to conjure the Two-Tails' chakra in his palm.

Pale red chakra swirled around her palm, occasionally flashing with white bubbles.

Yugito threw the chakra to Killer Bee.

Kirabi accepted it, not understanding why.

A phantom figure suddenly appeared in the spiritual space within his body; it was Matatabi, the Two-Tailed Beast.

"Two-Tails, what do you want to tell me by coming here?"

The Eight-Tailed Gyūki is entirely brownish-red, and its skin has a wood-like texture.

It has huge bull horns on its head and eight thick tentacles on its lower body, resembling an octopus.

"I met someone who seems to be the 'Child of Prophecy.'"

Nio Matatabi spoke slowly.

After he finished speaking, the chakra dissipated due to exhaustion.

Only the ox-demon remained, staring wide-eyed.

Killer Bee also looked puzzled, wondering what the tailed beasts were talking about.

He wanted to ask the teakman a question, but the teakman had already dragged his feet and walked away into the distance.

Before leaving, she burned the small puddle of blood and water beneath her with "fire rat jade".

"Uchiha Kiyoshi, very well, I'll remember you."

Teakman gritted his teeth inwardly.

She could never forget that man.

She did such a shameful thing to herself; sooner or later she'll get her revenge.

Defeat Kiyoshi fair and square!

Kirabi felt that the teakman's temper had been somewhat unpredictable lately, and seeing that no one had died, he didn't say anything.

Quickly follow the others and leave.

…………

Upon returning to the base, Fugaku Uchiha heard about the incident and immediately went out to investigate with Hizashi Hyuga and his men.

If we can capture the tailed beast of the enemy village during the war, it could have a significant impact on the entire battle.

The destructive power of a tailed beast going berserk is enough to permanently alter the terrain.

It will take many years to restore it to its original state.

This is why Hashirama lured Madara away, trying to fight him in places with rivers.

Unfortunately, when they arrived, all they found was post-war ruins; the Cloud Village ninjas had already retreated.

"Kiyoshi, come find me later."

Fugaku Uchiha, who had returned in a hurry, asked Kiyoshi to wait for him with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Lord Fugaku."

Kiyoshi nodded.

"Fugaku, what's the matter?"

Mikoto asked.

"It's nothing serious, just asking for details."

Fugaku's response was vague, and he didn't delve deeper into the topic before turning and leaving.

"……good."

Mikoto didn't say anything more, but the way she gripped the hem of her skirt showed that she wasn't in a good mood.

Qing Si understood.

It wasn't that Fugaku was ignoring Mikoto; it was just that every time he asked her a question, it was a sensitive topic.

These are exactly the things that Fugaku would hide from Mikoto his entire life.

That's the Sharingan's suppression of tailed beasts!

Fugaku once had the idea of ​​using the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails.

The Uchiha stone tablet actually records the Sharingan's ability to counter tailed beasts.

During the battle between the brothers, Itachi said that after activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, blindness would be inevitable, to which Sasuke immediately replied that blindness was the price of controlling the Nine-Tails.

Itachi said that Sasuke had already seen the stone tablet.

This shows that although the Uchiha stele is not large, it actually records a lot of information, including the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan, and Kaguya-hime, the goddess of the rabbit.

The deeper one's pupil power, the more one can see.

Fugaku has likely already seen the contents of this Uchiha stone tablet.

The fact that they are looking for him now is most likely to corroborate what I said above.

"Miss Mikoto, I have some pastries here."

Kiyoshi handed a small box of pastries to Mikoto.

He's not short of money now; he already has a lot of stock from previous purchases.

If you ask why, it's because if Miroku wants to cure the daimyo of the Land of Demons, he has to be controlled by him.

With the powerful financial backing of the priestess of the Land of Demons, he is financially independent in all aspects except for burning money on scientific research.

Even if the Land of Demons is small, it's still a country, and they can afford to pay this amount of money.

"Huh, is there any more?"

Mikoto was slightly startled. These things weren't cheap. Had Kiyoshi, who was short of money, spent the money he would have spent on equipment on this?

"Yes, I actually like desserts too."

Seiji smiled.

Actively seek out common ground between the two people.

The best way to shorten the distance is to have common interests and topics!

"Misaka-nee, let's go eat over there."

"it is good."

Mikoto's previously sullen expression broke into a smile.

Over this period of time, the distance between Kiyoshi and her has invisibly shrunk considerably.

Kiyoshi had lived in the Uchiha clan for several years and could be said to have been assimilated.

Therefore, Mikoto was no longer as wary of Kiyoshi as she had been at the beginning, but instead regarded him as a promising young member of the clan.

The two found a bench in an empty spot and sat down to talk, their laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

"Is it really that interesting?"

"Yes, I'll take you to Tanabata Street sometime."

Mikoto smiled.

"it is good."

Kiyoshi immediately spoke.

Having lived two lives, he was mentally older than Mikoto, so there was no generation gap between them.

Mikoto felt like she was a few years younger and could keep up with the thinking of someone her age.

The two had a pleasant conversation, and soon after, Qing Si took his leave.

If he doesn't go to Fugaku soon, Fugaku will probably come looking for him himself.

Take care.

Seeing this, Mikoto had no choice but to wave goodbye to Kiyoshi.

Constantly on edge at the base, Mikoto desperately needed an outlet for her emotions.

I got quite engrossed in chatting with Kiyoshi, but unfortunately Kiyoshi still had to go to Fugaku's place.

She sighed softly and quickly returned to her tent.

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi arrived at Fugaku.

After questioning Kiyoshi in detail about his situation, he said:

"Was the Two-Tails really influenced by you?"

"right."

Kiyoshi nodded.

It's simply that Fugaku himself also had the idea of ​​using the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails.

However, being weak, he only thought about it and never took any actual action.

"As expected, the contents of the stone tablet..."

The Fugaku Secret Passage.

He then spoke again:

"You've done a good job. I've seen your achievements over this period of time. Now that the battle has eased up a bit, you guys can go back and rest for a while."

Ninjas also need rest, and they are not soldiers; their primary job is not war.

The situation is more stable now, and sending some ninjas back will reduce expenses.

A prolonged war could lead to anti-war sentiment in the village, allowing them to see how hard the heroes outside were working to protect their homes and villages.

"Yes, Lord Fugaku."

Qingji was slightly happy.

After returning to the village, I will be able to better organize what I have learned.

This will also facilitate further connections.

For example, Samui, whom we haven't seen in a long time.

He will likely receive news of the Yukiman's rampage once he returns.

They will definitely try to win him over even more.

Kiyoshi had been eyeing a certain ninja taijutsu technique for a long time, and now he was taking the opportunity to finally use it!
