Half Uchiha With a Trait Panel

"There should still be some vacant houses in the clan, smaller than this one. Do you want to move?" Mikoto asked.

She looked at the worn-out tatami mats and furniture.

This was originally intended as temporary accommodation for Kiyoshi, but unexpectedly, he's lived here for several years.

Being a ninja is a high-risk profession, and clan members often die. Houses naturally become vacant.

These houses are empty anyway, so it's better to give one to Kiyoshi. It's just hard to find a house as big as this one again.

"There's no need. But thank you, Mikoto-nee." Kiyoshi said.

There's no point in moving anywhere else. Besides, if he were to move, he'd naturally want a bigger place.

Kiyoshi had thought about building a tunnel in his house to create a private laboratory.

Because after the Third Great Ninja War ends, the Nine-Tails incident will follow.

The Uchiha clan wanted to provide support, but they were blocked by the Anbu. After all, the Konoha higher-ups didn't trust the Uchiha.

After that war, the large Uchiha clan would relocate to the outer edges.

The only thing that would remain unchanged is the Naka Shrine. It was built in a remote location to begin with.

"If you have any difficulties in life, you can come and find your sister."

Mikoto said, picking up a brand new teacup and taking a small sip.

"Kiyoshi's skills have improved a lot."

Mikoto noticed, as the tea fragrance filled her mouth, leaving a sweet aftertaste.

The tea dripped little by little over the fine lines on her lips, looking like a layer of bright lipstick in the sunlight, which was quite alluring.

"There has been some progress." Kiyoshi said.

With the aharingan, one's learning speed for any thing would increase, not to mention the bonus from his traits.

As far as tea ceremony is concerned, even if Kiyoshi wasn't a ninja, he could open a tea shop. Moreover, the quality of this tea is not low.

When you have money, you naturally need to enjoy life. Kiyoshi wouldn't mistreat himself in this regard.

He didn't think that Mikoto, with her frugal nature, would be willing to buy this tea to drink.

After all, tea is a consumable, not a necessity.

Such a woman would only spend money on steel blades, a very virtuous wife and mother.

"You're too modest."

Mikoto put down the teacup and smiled gently.

Then she looked at Kiyoshi and asked softly, "Fugaku came back this morning. There will be a gathering tonight. He asked me to tell you that if the Konoha higher-ups want you to join the Anbu, then join."

"Okay."

Kiyoshi nodded directly without hesitation.

He had already planned to join the Anbu.

It's just that directly joining the Anbu would make the clan think that he was loyal to Konoha, which would reduce the benefits they would provide him.

Kiyoshi intends to benefit from both sides.

He would accept the benefits given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And of course, he would also accept the benefits given by the clan.

Kiyoshi now has the capital to do so. With his talent, it would be seen as an investment by others.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wants him to become someone who can restrain the Uchiha, and the Uchiha also think of him as the hope for revitalizing the Uchiha and seeking greater benefits for the Uchiha.

He is no longer the weakling who once had to be careful and please everyone when he had first come to Konoha.

And the identity of an Anbu will also be beneficial for him to make connections.

"Kiyoshi, I have some information about the clan members here."

Mikoto took out a small notebook with many photos clipped inside.

Below the photos were the names and contact information of the individuals.

They all uniformly started with Uchiha.

"Is there any girl you like?" Mikoto asked.

She leaned forward, pushing the notebook in front of Kiyoshi, flipping through it page by page.

Beneath her delicate collarbones was a classic Uchiha traditional robe, and a bit of her creamy white neck was revealed at the neckline.

Yes, very white.

Kiyoshi looked at the turning pages and had this thought.

"No." Kiyoshi said.

The people above were all extras who hadn't appeared in the original story, and most of them were ordinary women who weren't ninjas.

But there were exceptions. Hazuki was also on it.

Kiyoshi pondered for a moment. Perhaps it was because Hazuki hadn't officially established a relationship with Yamada yet.

Too bad...

At the moment, Kiyoshi was more interested in Mikoto.

This was also for his own life.

To prevent Itachi's birth.

"None?"

Mikoto adjusted her leaning forward posture and continued to tell Kiyoshi about their advantages.

"I feel that these people... are not as good as you, Mikoto-nee."

Kiyoshi said with a burning gaze, seemingly speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Mikoto's eyes widened slightly.

After so long, is this still what Kiyoshi thinks?

But even if she didn't know Fugaku, the age gap between her and Kiyoshi was still a bit too big.

There was no way anything could happen between the two of them.

Mikoto immediately went back, and she put her plump buttocks back on her calves.

A standard kneeling posture.

"Kiyoshi, you..."

"I will join the Anbu, there's no need to say anything else."

Kiyoshi interrupted Mikoto's words, showing a firm attitude.

Mikoto stopped talking. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she really didn't know how to advise him.

"By the way, Mikoto-nee, the village's opinion on Fugaku-sama hasn't been very good lately." Kiyoshi said.

"Yes." Mikoto agreed.

There is now a trend saying that they Uchiha have ulterior motives and have the intention of a coup.

Otherwise, why would Fugaku hide secret techniques?

In Mikoto's opinion, it would be good to say something. It's a pity that Fugaku just kept saying no.

This made Mikoto wonder if it was really just Fugaku's simple outburst.

But other outsiders don't care about these things and have been venting their emotions.

No one can see where Konoha will go in this war.

"Does Mikoto-nee know Sakumo-sama?"

Kiyoshi suddenly mentioned this person.

"I know." Mikoto nodded.

Konoha's White Fang has even greater prestige than the Sannin, how could she not know him?

"Before he passed away, there was such a voice in the village..." Kiyoshi hinted.

He was implying that Fugaku would go down this old path.

Although Fugaku certainly wouldn't in fact, Mikoto didn't know this.

There is an information gap here.

Sure enough, Mikoto's face suddenly changed uncertainly.

There really is this possibility.

"Lord Hokage has secretly asked me to investigate this matter."

Kiyoshi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had issued such a mission on the same day he had given him the Anbu combat uniform.

The current Uchiha settlement has not yet been completely infiltrated, and there are only a small number of areas with surveillance cameras.

Kiyoshi knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take this opportunity to see whether Konoha or the Uchiha was more important in his heart.

There must be other spies investigating this matter, and the information they explore will be compared with the information he submits.

"There's such a thing?" Mikoto covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes, I've only told you about this for now."
