Half Uchiha With a Trait Panel

Chapter 197: Mikoto Tries to Change Kiyoshi's Mind



"So that's how it is…"

This was the first time Mikoto had heard such a secret.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is an incredibly mysterious symbol within the Uchiha clan.

Few people know the key to it.

She had never thought it would require the cost of blindness.

In that case, even if they confront Konoha and Konoha doesn't attack the Uchiha, they will definitely transfer Fugaku to a war front filled with powerful ninjas.

With the terrifying battle frequency during the war, Fugaku will completely go blind before long.

Even the 3-Tomoe Sharingan cannot be preserved. His strength will decrease instead of increase.

And a ninja's eyes are second only to their hands.

A ninja without eyes can be said to be crippled. Sensory techniques cannot replace the insight of the eyes after all.

The more Mikoto thought about it, the more worried she became.

"Don't worry, we just need to get through this period of turmoil." Fugaku said.

The higher-ups in Konoha definitely harbor prejudice against the Uchiha, especially with the sudden rumors that have sprung up out of nowhere.

But as long as he insists that he doesn't know anything, the higher-ups will give up after investigating a few times.

After all, the Uchiha clan is just such an emotional clan. Their dōjutsu's power will greatly increase during combat due to stimulation.

As long as he gets through this storm, he can hide his Mangekyō Sharingan well and wait for the right time to use it.

Moreover, it would be good to secretly practice the Mangekyō. There is simply no suitable opportunity at the moment.

"Is that so?"

Mikoto pursed her lips.

She had already made up her mind to go and find Kiyoshi again.

"Mōryō's power also has a catalytic effect on you."

Kiyoshi was initially trying to use Mōryō's power to improve the white snake's body.

He had previously conducted numerous clinical trials on other snakes in the laboratory.

Now, he had suddenly acquired [Tamer (Green)].

The requirement was to raise a summoning beast through its juvenile stage.

The effect is simple: it can increase the size of the summoning beast that Kiyoshi has tamed.

"I can pay a visit to the Inuzuka clan when I have time."

Kiyoshi looked down at the white snake.

At this time, the white snake's body was a little larger, and wisps of purple-black aura emanated from its body, affectionately guarding Kiyoshi's hand.

"Well, its intelligence needs to be improved urgently as well."

Kiyoshi realized that the white snake was only growing in size but not in intelligence.

Gamabunta could already speak at this age, but this white snake was still completely ignorant.

"Come in."

Kiyoshi suddenly sensed something and opened his sleeve.

The white snake's body immediately shrank, and it slipped into Kiyoshi's left sleeve in a puff of smoke, coiling around his arm.

Kiyoshi's hand felt icy cold, as if he was wearing a ring.

"Mikoto-nee, did you forget something?"

Kiyoshi's paper sliding door of the inner room was not closed, and he could directly see the half-closed door across the courtyard.

"Kiyoshi."

Mikoto bit her lip and came in from outside. For some reason, the door was not closed.

Unfortunately, Mikoto, who was worried about Fugaku, did not pay attention to this point.

She quickly arrived in front of Kiyoshi and once again urged Kiyoshi to say a few good words to the Third Hokage.

To tell them that Fugaku really wasn't hiding anything.

The sadness in her words already carried a hint of pleading.

"Please sit down first."

Kiyoshi pointed to the opposite side of the low table.

Mikoto had no choice but to sit down first, her pretty face with those watery eyes fixed on Kiyoshi.

All of this had come somewhat suddenly.

Kiyoshi suddenly became a bridge between the Uchiha and the village, and was relied upon by the Third Hokage.

Originally, Mikoto felt that it was good news for the Uchiha, as they could gather information about the village.

But she never expected that she would need to come here to ask Kiyoshi for help.

This made Mikoto a little uncomfortable. This was a matter of superior and inferior positions.

In the past, when she talked to Kiyoshi, she always acted as an older sister, which was within the scope of elders.

And Kiyoshi was naturally a junior.

Now, the two roles were reversed, and she needed to ask Kiyoshi for help.

Moreover, it was such a difficult request. She knew it was difficult for Kiyoshi and felt sorry.

But as soon as she thought of Fugaku, Mikoto had to bite the bullet and come over. Her heart was conflicted.

"Mikoto-nee, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is of great importance. You should know that our clan definitely still has spies from the village. They are in the dark, and we are in the open."

Kiyoshi shook his head with great difficulty.

Indicating that it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that it was very difficult to help.

Kiyoshi said lightly, "Moreover, isn't this abandoning those companions who are still fighting on the front lines?"

"What does it mean to those clansmen that Fugaku-sama is hiding his strength?"

"Outsiders will also think that the Uchiha are planning something, which will once again put us Uchiha in the crosshairs."

This time, he was elaborating from the perspective of the Uchiha.

"As expected, it's still not possible?"

Hearing this, Mikoto felt a little disappointed. She had already asked Kiyoshi an hour ago, and the answer was no.

Now that she knew Fugaku's situation, she was extremely anxious, but she was just holding on to a fluke.

"In principle, it's not possible."

Seeing Mikoto's eyes dim and her body slump as if all her strength had been taken away, Kiyoshi then spoke.

"What… do you mean?"

Mikoto perked up and looked at Kiyoshi.

In principle, it's not possible?

As everyone knows, this sentence means that there is still room for maneuver.

"I can do anything at any cost, betray the clansmen, betray the villagers, just to help Mikoto-nee."

Kiyoshi's tone suddenly became low.

Hearing this, Mikoto was a little afraid to look Kiyoshi in the eye.

Was she taking too much advantage of this child?

A sense of guilt filled Mikoto's heart.

"Mikoto-nee is the best in the clan, and you were the one who had the most contact with me back then."

As he spoke, Kiyoshi's gaze gradually became hot.

Mikoto was stunned. Kiyoshi could no longer be regarded as a child a long time ago.

It's just that he has always been very gentle in front of her.

Kiyoshi… is also a man.

And the most that a man in puberty thinks about is…

"But Mikoto-nee always says Fugaku-sama this and Fugaku-sama that. I'm very jealous."

"Fugaku is my…"

Mikoto's throat surged a few times, but she didn't say anything.

The two of them haven't officially established a relationship yet. They don't have any title.

Looking at Mikoto's bewildered appearance, Kiyoshi's mouth outlined a wicked smile.

Mikoto's gentleness is her weakness. This sense of guilt will suffocate Mikoto's heart.

People with high moral standards are prone to internal friction.

"So, I want Mikoto-nee to help me fulfill a wish."

Kiyoshi spoke, his tone seeming very sincere.

"Just a hug will do. Can Mikoto-nee hug me?"

Kiyoshi opened his arms. Mikoto's eyelashes trembled slightly, obviously hesitant.

Her fingertips curled slightly, her palms oozed a little cold sweat, and even her breathing unconsciously tightened a little.

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

She knew Kiyoshi's position, and she also knew his importance, and she also knew his special feelings for her.

But precisely because of this, she didn't know how to face him even more.

"What? Is Mikoto-nee unwilling?"
