However, just as Kazuki's words fell, Mikoto's double tomoe Sharingan entered Kazuki's vision. To be precise, Mikoto's Sharingan was one single tomoe and one double tomoe, which made Kazuki gasp. Good heavens, so Sasuke's one single tomoe Sharingan and one double tomoe Sharingan were inherited from Mikoto. Sasuke not only inherited Mikoto's good looks but also her Sharingan, so Fugaku's genes might really be polluting Mikoto. Of course, Fugaku was actually quite good. If Kazuki had not appeared, he would have been the Uchiha clan's top genius. The 13-year-old Fugaku had already awakened his double tomoe Sharingan and was also an outstanding talent among his peers. However, encountering Kazuki, Fugaku's brilliance was overshadowed. "Did something happen to you?" Kazuki frowned, looking at Mikoto nervously. Awakening the Sharingan was not necessarily a good thing. Recently, Mikoto's family did not seem to have any problems, right? "It's all because of Nawaki." Mikoto's expression became subtle. "Not long ago, when we went out on a mission, Nawaki stepped on an Explosive Tag trap. If Orochimaru-sensei hadn't reacted in time, Nawaki would at least be missing an arm or a leg now. I was so startled that I awakened these eyes." Kazuki: "?????" Putting aside Mikoto awakening her Sharingan, such a thing did not seem impossible within the Uchiha clan. After all, Mikoto's bloodline was quite good. It wouldn't be impossible for her to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan someday in the future. Hmm, if he were to tell her one day that he was going to marry Kushina, Kazuki felt that she might really awaken her eyes. Cough cough, of course, he would not do such a thing. Only children make choices, adults want it all. How could he not feel Mikoto and Kushina's feelings for him? It was too early to say anything now, and besides, as long as his strength was sufficient, who else would have a say? The Ninja World had no mandatory regulations for monogamy, and there wasn't even a so-called marriage certificate. However, did Nawaki really like stepping on Explosive Tags that much? Did he have an innate Explosive Tag stepping physique? "Why haven't I heard about this before?" Kazuki looked at Mikoto with a subtle expression. "Nawaki didn't want us to tell anyone, but Orochimaru-sensei should tell Tsunade-nee-san." Mikoto then explained, "I'm hesitant whether or not to tell Grandpa about the Sharingan." "I haven't told anyone but you. Before, everyone was worried about Nawaki and didn't notice that I awakened my eyes." "As for Grandpa, I'm worried he'll worry about me." "Tell him if you want to, or don't if you don't. It's not a particularly big problem, after all, you're already over ten years old, and awakening the Sharingan isn't unacceptable." Kazuki then thought of Fugaku. It seemed the clan head had recently started looking for a child bride for Fugaku, hoping for someone with outstanding talent. Mikoto's talent was excellent, and now that she had awakened the Sharingan, she would probably be targeted, right? However, Tatsuya was not to be trifled with, and Kazuki was currently the Uchiha clan's nominal number one genius. If the clan head dared to cause trouble, Kazuki would directly involve Hiruzen. He imagined Hiruzen and Danzo would not refuse an opportunity to get involved in Uchiha internal affairs. "Hmm, I plan to hide it for a while. Ordinary missions don't require the Sharingan, and besides, aren't you going to teach me how to use the Sharingan?" Mikoto smiled gently, seemingly unaffected by the awakening of her Sharingan. "Alright, next, I'll teach you how to use the Sharingan and also teach you the Chidori." Kazuki did not refuse. Anyway, besides researching the Rasengan recently, he didn't seem to have anything else to do, so teaching Mikoto was not a problem. With Kazuki's current strength, guiding Mikoto was no problem. "Okay." Mikoto said with a sweet smile. … "You mean, put a bounty on the Uzumaki clansmen and bring them to Konoha?" Mito's expression became dazed upon hearing Kushina's words. She still felt indebted to the Uzumaki clan. If she hadn't become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Uzumaki clan probably wouldn't have suffered such an undeserved disaster. Of course, other great nations did indeed dislike the Uzumaki clan. Now hearing Kushina say this, Mito was tempted, but at her status, one move affected everything, and she couldn't just move on a whim. However, looking at Kushina's eager expression, she sighed softly. "Don't worry about this for now. I will speak with the Hokage." "Thank you, Grandma." Kushina immediately called out sweetly. After a moment of hesitation, Mito stood up. Since the end of the First Great Ninja War, it was the first time she had walked out of her small courtyard and headed towards the Hokage Building. Mito's actions instantly attracted countless people's attention. No one expected this stabilizing force of Konoha to act at this time. Could it be that Konoha and Kumogakure were forming an alliance, and Mito couldn't stand it? Upon learning of Mito's arrival, Hiruzen and Danzo exchanged glances. They also couldn't understand Mito's purpose, but they still stood up to welcome Mito. "Mito-sama." Even Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, had to be respectful when facing Mito. They were uneasy inside. Could it be that Mito was dissatisfied with their actions? Mito entered a room and dismissed everyone except Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura , and Koharu. Once there were only five people present, she spoke, "Konoha and Kumogakure allied?" "Yes." The other three all looked at Hiruzen. Hiruzen reported with a stiff upper lip, "Although the incident back then led to sensei's sacrifice, this is currently the best option. As the Hokage, I must set aside my personal feelings."
