Half Uchiha With a Trait Panel

Peaceful times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another period of time has passed.

Kiyoshi constantly refined and organizer what he had learned. He spent much of his time in his exclusive laboratory researching Mōryō's power.

During this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen sought him out, wanting him to join the Anbu, and sent Kiyoshi an Anbu combat uniform and a matching katana.

Kiyoshi declined, saying that he had to wait for Fugaku to return and let the clan leader decide.

Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to Kiyoshi's request, but did not take back the equipment.

Life once again fell into tranquility.

The battle situation outside the village also seemed to be becoming more and more stable, with the battle lines in various places shrinking and becoming more condensed.

Everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.

The Great Ninja War doesn't end so hastily. Once it starts, even the militant factions will not be able to stop it.

The new hatred bred by war will drive people to continue attacking until the limit that each country can bear is reached.

At that time, there will either be national destruction or a truce.

The streets of the Uchiha settlement seemed much more desolate.

Fallen leaves fluttered on the ground, and occasionally a few clansmen passed by the street, all hurrying to and fro.

Recently, the Uchiha have been suppressed more and more intensely.

Even the Uchiha internally knew the reason, it seemed that the clan leader was hiding his strength.

Some veterans speculated that it was the Mangekyō Sharingan, but the information Fugaku sent back has always denied this.

"A secret meeting will be held today."

Fugaku returned to Konoha, covered in dust, with a few more wrinkles on his face.

"Captain Fugaku, don't you want to rest for a day first?" Yashiro was stunned.

They had been fighting outside for so long, and today they have to participate in a secret meeting as soon as they had come back.

"No, it's fine."

Fugaku shook his head.

The top priority is that he needs to appease the clansmen. Over time, there have been complaints about him from within.

The secret of the Mangekyo Sharingan must never be revealed.

Once it is revealed, the Uchiha will be feared and their weaknesses will be investigated.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, but it is ultimately a double-edged sword.

Under high-intensity load, it can cause complete blindness in just over ten days.

Only by hiding it in your hand can it be the ultimate trump card.

"Yes."

Yashiro nodded and went out to make arrangements.

"Yakumi, I heard that Kiyoshi has been valued by the village recently, and the Third Hokage even gave Kiyoshi Anbu clothing?"

Fugaku turned to look at Yakumi, who was beside him.

Kiyoshi was more valued by the village than he had imagined.

Since the founding of the village, no Uchiha had ever joined the Anbu.

Except Kagami, who was a Hokage guard.

"Yes, Fugaku-sama, but Kiyoshi has not agreed yet, and seems to be waiting for you to make a decision." Yakumi said.

He was satisfied with Kiyoshi's actions. No matter how good the village is to Kiyoshi, he is still an Uchiha.

"This is an opportunity." Fugaku said to himself.

The Anbu is directly under the Hokage and only listens to the Hokage's orders. No other department has the right to command it.

Even Danzo's Root is part of the Anbu's large classification.

"Fugaku, you're back?"

Receiving the news of Fugaku's return, Mikoto quickly visited Fugaku.

"Yes."

"Fugaku, you... you've aged a lot."

Mikoto was surprised to find that Fugaku had two more wrinkles on his face.

Whether it was because of years of war, the overall work of managing the future of the Uchiha clan, or the recent slander against Fugaku by the village.

Some civilians also knew that Fugaku was hiding his strength, making those heroes who had gone to their deaths a joke.

Someone must be fanning the flames behind the scenes. But Mikoto didn't know who it was.

She was like a flat boat shaking on the sea, unable to see the whole picture.

"That's not important."

Fugaku slightly brushed aside the topic of his age and asked instead, "The Third Hokage values Kiyoshi very much. What is Kiyoshi's bond with the clan like?"

The bond of a clan is an abstract concept, and in practice it is a deep relationship with certain people.

"There are some, but not many."

Mikoto thought for a while and said.

Apart from her, Kiyoshi had only had contact with a few Uchiha. And there were also Uchiha who didn't like Kiyoshi.

For example, Obito, who was in the same class as Kiyoshi, seemed to be at odds with Kiyoshi.

Mikoto didn't know the specific reason, but guessed it was because of the little girl Rin.

Fortunately, the two had not had any conflicts, and there were few verbal disputes.

"Does the clan have a girl he likes?" Fugaku asked again.

Kiyoshi was a little older than his peers and had transferred to ninja school that year.

He was old enough to marry legally in the Sengoku era. This custom has not been changed in many ninja clans.

Hearing this, a trace of unnatural embarrassment flashed across Mikoto's face.

Fugaku's insight captured this, and he asked Mikoto again.

"There is, but..."

Mikoto was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to say it.

"This is a major event concerning the clan. Only by marrying and raising the next generation in the clan can Kiyoshi be considered completely integrated into the Uchiha." Fugaku's tone increased slightly.

Mikoto thought of how much Fugaku had worked for the clan and hesitated for a while before saying.

"He said it was me."

Fugaku frowned and was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he felt that it was normal. After all, Mikoto was Kiyoshi's first gentle older sister. Kiyoshi was bound to have some thoughts.

He was at the age of marriage, but he was still a child after all.

"In that case, you should have more contact with him and let him see more of the clan's women of the same age."

Fugaku said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Mikoto."

"Okay, Fugaku."

Mikoto sighed inwardly.

Having said that, she had no choice but to continue.

It was okay when she wasn't familiar with Kiyoshi at first, but after she had become familiar with him, Mikoto felt that she was approaching Kiyoshi with a purpose.

Hearing Mikoto agree, a warm current rose in Fugaku's heart.

Every time he ordered something, Mikoto could complete it quickly.

If the war hadn't suddenly begun, the two of them might have been married already.

'After this war is over, I will definitely give you happiness, Mikoto.' Fugaku thought so in his heart.

…

"95%."

Kiyoshi looked at the trait progress.

Tomorrow, he will be able to acquire [Medical Jōnin (Purple)].

He turned off the trait panel, went to the kitchen to brew tea, and took the tea out.

Not only was he at home today, but he had also welcomed a guest.

"Kiyoshi, this month's living expenses."

Mikoto took the tea and handed Kiyoshi a small stack of money stored in an envelope.

"Thank you, Mikoto-nee."

Kiyoshi took it.

Today, Mikoto hadn't tied her hair into a high ponytail at the back, but a low side ponytail, draping her hair in front of her chest.

It was a very "dangerous" hairstyle. It is usually a hairstyle that married women like to do.

The current Mikoto still lacks that charm.

Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes slightly. Of course, it is best to develop such charm himself.
