Chapter 54 He must be very disappointed in me

"I know you will be heading to the border with Orochimaru tomorrow. Staying with Orochimaru won't necessarily allow you to face the battlefield directly, but it will protect your safety to a certain extent. However, there are some things you should be aware of."

Uchiha Yufeng stared at Uchiha Mikoto with a frown.

What does this mean? Is this another of Fugaku’s plans?

"Some time ago, three children from the Uchiha clan were missing. Fugaku took this matter very seriously and started an investigation. He eventually traced the case back to one person."

Uchiha Yufeng tried to speak.

"Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Mikoto paused, then continued speaking gently.

"No, it's Danzo!"

“Danzo Shimura is now Konoha’s Assistant Kage and the leader of the Root organization.

In a previous war, Uchiha Kagami died outside in order to protect Shimura Danzo who was carrying intelligence.

It was precisely that time that Shimura Danzo witnessed the power of the legendary three-magatama Sharingan. Since then, instead of thanking me, the Uchiha, he has even set his sights on my Uchiha clan's bloodline limit Sharingan."

"Later, the village carried out a secret cell research, and Orochimaru came into contact with Danzo!"

Secret cell research?

That should be talking about the study of Hashirama's cells.

Uchiha Yufeng remained calm and just let out a light "oh".

"What does this have to do with Orochimaru... and me?"

Uchiha Mikoto looked at Uchiha Yufeng seriously.

“From what I understand, the cell research carried out by the village was stopped by the Hokage for unknown reasons.

Recently, the Uchiha clan, as well as other families and civilians have lost a lot of young children!

All of this ultimately led to Danzo's Root Organization.

Therefore, the family elders believed that Danzo had sent someone to take the child to a place and conduct secret human experiments without the Hokage's knowledge..."

"And the person who conducted this experiment was undoubtedly Orochimaru."

Uchiha Mikoto came in front of Uchiha Yufeng and looked at the slightly immature boy in front of her, feeling a little dazed.

"Orochimaru has captured so many children for human experiments over the years. He no longer has any respect for life. If you interact with him more, you might end up as material on his experimental table in the future!"

"Yufeng, you are the only Uchiha who calls me Sister Mikoto... I don't want you to get into trouble!"

Uchiha Yufeng raised his hand and stroked Uchiha Mikoto's face.

"You don't want anything to happen to me? Then I wonder, Mikoto-san, what about those people sent by Fugaku-sama to the Chunin Exams?"

I heard about the Chunin Exam and the name Mikoto-sister.

Uchiha Mikoto's face turned pale.

Took a few steps back.

"Mikoto-san, why did those people in the Chunin Exam want to kill me?"

After saying that, Uchiha Yufeng looked at Uchiha Mikoto's eyes, and a pair of six-pointed Sharingan appeared.

Uchiha Mikoto was once an elite ninja of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Yufeng couldn't guarantee how strong she was, but since he came into contact with Uchiha Mikoto, the only thing he could be sure of was that she had not opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Facing a Sharingan that is not at the Mangekyō level, the Mangekyō's pupil power directly crushes it.

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes dulled for a moment.

"In order to... help Uchiha Shisui unlock the power beyond the three magatama Sharingan..."

Uchiha Shisui?

Sacrifice the person close to Shisui, that is, his adopted brother.

Will it cause Uchiha Shisui to have drastic emotional fluctuations and then activate the Mangekyō Sharingan?

“Who planned all this?”

"Fugaku."

"Has Fugaku taken any actions against me recently?"

"No, you will follow Orochimaru to the frontline tomorrow. The clan has already focused on you and the war with the Sand Ninja! Because the Uchiha clan will also find a way to join the war!"

Uchiha Yufeng looked at Uchiha Mikoto who was close to him.

"Fugaku's plan against me, are you involved?"

"No."

"The purpose of your visit today!"

"Worried about you... to keep you away from Orochimaru, he's dangerous."

"Was today's event arranged by Fugaku?"

"No...I came here on my own initiative."

"Are you upset with Fugaku?"

"A little."

"..."

After Uchiha Yufeng asked what he wanted to know, the six-pointed Sharingan in his eyes slowly faded away.

The illusion was then lifted.

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes regained clarity.

"Just now……"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Yufeng.

"Misaki-san, I've taken note of what you just said. I'll pay close attention to it!"

Although she had forgotten something just now, when Uchiha Mikoto heard Uchiha Yufeng's words that he valued Orochimaru, she finally achieved the purpose of her visit today.

I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

No, didn't he ask himself something else just now?

Uchiha Mikoto thought for a long time but couldn't remember.

Looking at Uchiha Yufeng, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes flashed with worry.

"Yufeng, I really don't want anything to happen to you again!"

Uchiha Yufeng didn't say anything.

Seeing that Uchiha Yufeng didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, a hint of gloom flashed in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, Uchiha Mikoto stood up, walked out of Uchiha Yufeng's house and headed towards the street.

As soon as she arrived at the vegetable market, a red figure came up to Uchiha Mikoto and patted her on the shoulder.

"Mikoto, what a coincidence, are you here to buy groceries?"

Uchiha Mikoto looked up, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Kushina!"

The person who came was none other than the jonin of Konoha Village, Uchiha Mikoto's best friend, Uzumaki Kushina.

Her long, beautiful red hair was tied into a ponytail with a forehead protector, and a hairpin was pinned to the left bun. She wore a wrist guard on her left wrist and a green jonin vest, which made her look more capable.

Looking at Uchiha Mikoto, there was a hint of surprise on her delicate face.

"You looked so distraught just now? Did something happen?"

Uzumaki Kushina put her head in front of Uchiha Mikoto and looked at her suspiciously.

Uchiha Mikoto blushed when she was looked at by Uzumaki Kushina.

"Kushina, stop making a fuss! There's nothing going on!"

Uchiha Mikoto pouted and turned away immediately.

"Ah?"

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's abnormal appearance, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Mikoto!"

Uzumaki Kushina pulled Uchiha Mikoto to an empty street.

"What's wrong, Kushina! Why are you coming to a place like this?"

Uchiha Mikoto looked at her best friend's abnormal behavior, her eyes full of confusion.

"Your expression just now was not right, Mikoto, are you hiding something from me?"

Uchiha Mikoto didn't understand what Kushina meant.

He smiled gently at her.

"Mikoto, you have such a gentle personality, why did you have that expression just now? Did someone bully you?"

Uchiha Mikoto thought of Uchiha Yufeng, who had been very indifferent to her before, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

"Damn it, was it that Fugaku that bullied Mikoto?"

Uzumaki Kushina raised her fist, her face full of indignation.

"I've said it before, marrying Fugaku will lead to nothing. Look how long it's been, and you've just given birth to a son by him and you're already being bullied. Humph! I don't have any mission today, so I'll go and help you teach him a lesson!"

Seeing Uzumaki Kushina like this, Uchiha Mikoto knew that her best friend was imagining things again, and then she patted her forehead coquettishly.

"No! It's because of Uchiha Yufeng!"

Uzumaki Kushina was slightly stunned when she heard the name.

"Why does this name sound so familiar? I heard Minato's disciple Obito mention it! It seems... it seems like he is an extraordinary guy!"

Uchiha Mikoto didn't say much. She hooked her arm around Uzumaki Kushina's and the two of them behaved intimately as they walked towards the vegetable market together.

"As for him, I used to treat him as my younger brother, but because of some things in the clan..."

Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina were walking and talking.

Because some things concerned the secrets of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Mikoto did not tell them all.

However, with just a few words, Uzumaki Kushina understood 80% of the truth of the matter.

"So it was you who chose the family over your new brother!"

Uzumaki Kushina suddenly stopped and looked at Uchiha Mikoto angrily.

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true!"

Uchiha Mikoto did not evade and admitted it.

"If that boy knew that Mikoto didn't choose him, he would probably be very sad, right?"

A gleam of sadness flashed across Uchiha Mikoto's eyes.

"In fact, he knows all this..."

Uzumaki Kushina was a little confused.
