#112 - Chapter 112 Before becoming a container, fill Mikoto with a sense of security

After finalizing the cooperation matters, Uchiha Setsuna stood up to bid farewell.

Whether it was the marriage between Hinata Ten'ou and Uchiha Mikoto, or the alliance between the Hinata and Uchiha clans, these were major events concerning the family's inheritance and prosperity.

Naturally, he needed to bring the news back to the Uchiha clan as soon as possible and thoroughly implement these matters.

As for Uchiha Mikoto, she did not return to the clan with him but stayed at the Hinata residence.

Hinata Hizashi also did not linger in the same spot but went to gather the family elders to announce the marriage alliance with the Uchiha and the formation of the alliance.

With the two leaving one after the other, only Hinata Ten'ou and Uchiha Mikoto were left in the room.

"Let's go for a walk outside, Mikoto-nee."

Hinata Ten'ou glanced at Uchiha Mikoto, especially at the mere 70 points of favorability above her head.

Although from the moment they entered, whether Uchiha Setsuna proposed the marriage alliance or the alliance itself, Uchiha Mikoto had maintained an obedient demeanor, people can lie, and love can be acted out.

Only favorability cannot be faked.

Therefore, he never looks at what the other person does or listens to what they say when interacting with people, only recognizing favorability.

"Okay."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded slightly and got up to follow Hinata Ten'ou.

Not long after leaving the room, a spacious training ground came into view.

Such a training ground was not unusual.

There were several in the Uchiha clan as well.

However, the five figures in the training ground, all identical in appearance and attire, made her stop in her tracks.

"Is something the matter?"

Hinata Ten'ou walked while thinking about how to increase Uchiha Mikoto's favorability.

The power of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the One Piece world could be very useful.

Whether it's hypnosis, replication, or illusion, these are all areas that the Byakugan has never ventured into.

And all of this must be based on Uchiha Mikoto's favorability towards him reaching 90; otherwise, he won't be able to use the space-time door.

"Ten'ou, is this how you usually train?"

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the five shadow clones training in the training ground, her eyes widening slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

She didn't expect that Hinata Ten'ou, while discussing with her and Uchiha Setsuna, would not forget to use shadow clones to train.

"Yes."

Hinata Ten'ou nodded.

How can he become Hokage without using shadow clones.

Haki and the Six Styles are all waiting in line for him to train.

"No wonder you have achieved such amazing accomplishments at this age."

Hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto's gaze seemed to change slightly when she looked at Hinata Ten'ou.

During Uchiha Setsuna's imprisonment, she had trained in this way, but she only used two shadow clones.

Even so, the mountain of fatigue every day still overwhelmed her.

Hinata Ten'ou, on the other hand, used five shadow clones.

How could she not be moved?

"Accomplishments?"

"I just want to decide my own destiny."

"Just be a free bird for a while."

Hinata Ten'ou reached out and touched his forehead.

"The Caged Bird Curse Seal?"

Uchiha Mikoto noticed Hinata Ten'ou's action, and her heart stirred.

The young man in front of her first became famous in Konoha by breaking the Caged Bird Curse Seal.

Then, she thought of herself.

Using shadow clones to train, unlocking the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, becoming a Jonin of Konoha, all her efforts were also to decide her own destiny, weren't they?

However, she failed.

Even if her father, Uchiha Setsuna, was released from prison, he could not decide her destiny.

At most, he could only transfer her from the Uchiha to the Hinata, changing one birdcage.

On the other hand, Hinata Ten'ou not only got his wish and became a free bird but also allowed every caged bird in the Hinata branch family to become a free bird.

Looking again at the five shadow clones training in the training ground, Uchiha Mikoto understood something.

Born as a caged bird, unwilling to accept fate, accumulating strength, breaking the curse seal, and overturning the image of the main family's genius, took shape in her heart.

"Ten'ou, can you tell me about your experiences?"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but ask.

"What do you want to know?"

Hinata Ten'ou leaned against the corridor railing, turning his head to look at Uchiha Mikoto.

"Of course, it's your night of fame."

Uchiha Mikoto imitated Hinata Ten'ou's actions, leaning against the railing with her arms crossed.

Whether it was snatching the sword from Orochimaru or challenging Sarutobi Shinnosuke with his sword, Uchiha Setsuna, as a witness, used the Sharingan's illusion to let her experience it firsthand.

Only the night of the main family's extermination could she only learn about through intelligence.

"Then it has to start with the main family's collapse plan."

Hearing this, Hinata Ten'ou, except for concealing the abilities of the Operation Fruit, told Uchiha Mikoto everything else, from being branded with the Caged Bird Curse Seal to attracting his teacher Hizashi and sending the main family on their way.

Without a tone of ups and downs, but with a dramatic plot, Uchiha Mikoto felt as if she was there, involuntarily substituting herself into it.

"Your one night is more exciting than my 22 years combined."

After listening to the story of the main family's collapse plan, Uchiha Mikoto was slightly moved.

"In the future, you can also have this excitement."

"Mikoto-nee."

"Even if you are born as a caged bird, if you lift the roof, the caged bird is a dragon among birds."

Hinata Ten'ou looked at Uchiha Mikoto.

Very good.

The story was not told in vain, and the favorability increased by 2 points.

From the original 70 to 72.

"Ten'ou, I've noticed that you seem to be a bit of a charmer!"

Uchiha Mikoto's lips curled up slightly.

She is a Konoha Jonin, whether it's her chakra or the power of her Three-Tomoe Sharingan, it didn't come from nowhere.

Perhaps she hadn't noticed it at first, but later on, how could she not know.

Every word Hinata Ten'ou said, every topic he led her to, was all tailored for her.

"I just want to tell you."

"Hinata may not necessarily be another birdcage."

"The first step into this land may be the beginning of lifting the roof."

Facing Uchiha Mikoto's gaze, Hinata Ten'ou did not show any timidity.

He knows Uchiha too well.

Every time the Sharingan evolves a tomoe, it means that it has to accept a strong mental stimulation.

And Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan is a Three-Tomoe, which means that Uchiha Mikoto has accepted at least three strong mental stimulations.

Even if the ninja's will is strong, even if Uchiha Mikoto's personality is gentle and kind, as the daughter of Uchiha Setsuna, who launched the coup, who has been ostracized by the family since childhood and is always worried about Konoha's purge, she must crave security in her bones.

For Uchiha Mikoto, who has now become a tool for political marriage between the two clans, interests may not be the most important thing, but emotional value and security are the key.

To borrow a word from Mito Uzumaki, before a Jinchuriki becomes a vessel, first fill the Jinchuriki with love.

Hinata Ten'ou and Uchiha Mikoto are not related, and even because of the political marriage, it would be good if they didn't have any ill feelings, so forget about love or anything.

However, before becoming a tool for political marriage, it is still possible to fill Uchiha Mikoto with a sense of security first.

"Lift the roof?"

Uchiha Mikoto unconsciously looked up at the top.

There is no roof, only a clear blue sky.

She has looked at the sky of Konoha countless times since she was a child, but leaving the Uchiha and stepping into the Hinata family, she looked up at the sky from here as if she saw freedom in the blue sky and white clouds.

Even knowing that every word Hinata Ten'ou said was deliberately said to her, she really appreciates it because she really needs these things.

Sense of security.

Emotional value.

These things, the Uchiha family can't give her, and her father Uchiha Setsuna can't give her either.

On the other hand, the fiancé in front of her, who is only 8 years old and whom she met for the first time, can give it to her.
