Mikoto had never seen any Uchiha visit Kiyoshi.
"We need to find a way to deepen Kiyoshi's bond with the Uchiha. Otherwise, is Kiyoshi truly loyal to Konoha or the Uchiha?"
Fugaku frowned slightly.
Such examples are not non-existent.
Kagami is seen as a hero with the Will of Fire by outsiders.
But within the Uchiha, these actions are no different from those of a lackey.
"Okay, I will investigate thoroughly."
Mikoto nodded gently, a few strands of her long hair falling in front of her chest.
She continued to exchange a few pleasantries with Fugaku before taking her leave.
Before officially establishing a relationship, it is necessary to maintain basic etiquette. Otherwise, other clansmen will gossip.
Mikoto also held traditional views on this matter.
"Go back then."
Fugaku nodded, watching Mikoto leave.
He became increasingly satisfied with Mikoto.
Where else could he find such a virtuous and gentle woman?
…
The next day
Hazuki kept her promise and brought two genjutsu scrolls from home, giving them to Kiyoshi before leaving directly.
She didn't want to stay here for even a moment longer.
Kiyoshi didn't mind these things, there would be plenty of time to get along in the future.
And there are many ways to connect. He opened the genjutsu scroll in his hand, looking at the words on it.
He had told Hazuki not to send only one scroll, so she only sent two. Kiyoshi felt that these should be all her possessions.
One of the basic abilities of the Sharingan is Genjutsu and such basic genjutsu is already sufficient to deal with many scenarios.
Most clansmen put their energy into training in Fire Release ninjutsu, refining their skills.
There are also some who train in Lightning Release, but the proportion of these is not that high.
However, it is still much more than others who train Wind Release, Water Release, and other types of ninjutsu.
It is the second most trained ninjutsu in the Uchiha clan besides Fire Release.
"Let's start with this genjutsu scroll first."
Kiyoshi closed the door and turned to walk towards the inner room.
The two scrolls given by Uchiha Hazuki were D-rank genjutsu Demonic Illusion: Smokescreen Technique and C-rank genjutsu Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique.
Demonic Illusion: Smokescreen Technique can release a puff of smoke, which can distort light, creating the effect of a smoke bomb.
If there is enough chakra, this genjutsu can be used as a means to confuse the enemy and escape.
It's just that the effect is not as good as a real smoke bomb, it is slightly worse.
It is generally used to confuse ninjas who are weaker in genjutsu.
The second is Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique.
It is a close-range auxiliary genjutsu, effective within five meters.
It is a genjutsu used to make the opponent mistake one place for another.
In other words, a genjutsu can be constructed within a five-meter range, making it impossible for others to recognize their real surroundings.
When Kiyoshi, Kurenai, and Asuma had gone to take the written test, the two ninjas guarding the door had used Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique.
It doesn't fare well against people proficient in genjutsu.
But as the user's mastery increases, the power and range of this technique can also increase.
Hmm…
Such a technique wouldn't be discovered if used against others face-to-face, right?
Of course, this is just a thought, his current genjutsu ability is not considered strong.
It is only advantageous among ordinary ninjas without a kekkei genkai.
At the current stage, getting the green genjutsu related trait is the most important thing.
…
"Hazuki? You went to Kiyoshi's place?"
Wearing a tight combat suit, Mikoto, with her unique charm, saw Hazuki coming out of Kiyoshi's house.
She planned to give Kiyoshi this month's living expenses, and then conduct a survey in the neighborhood to see what the clansmen thought of Kiyoshi.
By chance, she met the first target.
"Is… something the matter, Mikoto -sama?"
Mikoto's sudden approach startled Hazuki.
"I want to ask, what do you think of Kiyoshi? What is your relationship with him?" Mikoto asked.
Hearing Mikoto's questions, Hazuki frowned slightly.
She almost blurted out that Kiyoshi was just a scoundrel kid who had swindled her out of money to buy chain mail and two genjutsu out of her.
Are there such outrageous kids in the village?
"Um, he's a very loving little… little guy."
Hazuki barely squeezed out a smile.
Seemingly afraid that Mikoto wouldn't believe her, she even said a few of Kiyoshi's good points.
"Um, you see, he's both talented and polite, and he looks good too."
Hazuki suppressed the discomfort in her heart, counting Kiyoshi's advantages one by one.
It's not that she wants to say it, but she's afraid of speaking out of turn again. She has learned her lesson.
"Is that so?"
Mikoto nodded.
She hadn't expected Kiyoshi to be integrating so well into the clan.
She remembered that Hazuki used to be lukewarm towards Kiyoshi.
Also, it seemed that she had delayed Kiyoshi's receipt of ninjutsu from the ninjutsu library for a month.
"That's great. Our Uchiha clan is a united clan, I believe you can establish a better bond with Kiyoshi." Mikoto chuckled and said.
A few strands of fine hair fell from her temples, and she gently tucked them behind her ears, with a faint smile on her face.
After collecting the information she wanted, Mikoto said goodbye to Hazuki and continued to walk towards Kiyoshi's house.
She knocked on the door and gave Kiyoshi his living expenses.
Kiyoshi opened the door, looking at Hazuki hurrying away in the distance, as if she was trying to escape from here.
He accepted the living expenses handed over by Mikoto and thanked Mikoto seriously.
Kiyoshi's pupil power was reacting to a charming woman like Mikoto.
However, this reaction was well concealed by Kiyoshi.
"Mikoto-nee, if you get married, how long do you plan to wait?"
Kiyoshi wanted to confirm again.
He wanted to know the final deadline.
If he remembered correctly, Itachi was born on June 9, Konoha 47 years.
The time of her pregnancy should be in November or December of 46.
He had better postpone Itachi's birth or take over Fugaku within this time frame.
"It should be in a year or two." Mikoto smiled.
"Is that so?"
Seeing that the development was similar to the original timeline, Kiyoshi already had an idea.
He had great potential and a lot of room for maneuver.
The trigger for the Third Great Ninja War was the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
He was actually killed by Sasori.
Sunagakure was in chaos, leaderless, and various factions were arguing endlessly.
The Land of Lightning sensed this opportunity and launched a war.
Then, the militant factions of various countries smelled the opportunity for war and responded to the call one after another, and the situation instantly became chaotic.
Some people like peace because peace is stable.
Some people like war because war can bring more benefits.
This war will be unforgettable for all major countries, casting a shadow over them.
"Remember to be thrifty. If it's really not enough, you can come to me, and I can help you out a little." Mikoto said.
"Then thank you, Mikoto-nee."
Kiyoshi nodded, not even counting it, and put it directly into his pouch.
How could Mikoto be the kind of woman who would pocket money?
