#53 - PUA Uchiha Hazuki
Upon hearing the request, Granny Cat told Kiyoshi and Mikoto to wait there for a moment, then immediately sent a ninja cat to retrieve a suitable ninja sword for Kiyoshi.
“I’ll go stock up on some supplies too.”
Mikoto took out a sealing scroll, telling Kiyoshi to wait there while she went to purchase some ninja tools.
Ninjas expend a lot of supplies when carrying out missions, and Mikoto, as a Jonin, not only maintains order in the Konoha Military Police Force on a regular basis,
but also has to carry out some difficult missions for the village.
Because Jonin are a scarce resource.
Kiyoshi strolled around and found a deserted spot, continuing to focus his mind on refining chakra and running "Lightning Release: Iron Skin."
Mikoto even took out a sealing scroll, so she must be stocking up on a large quantity of goods.
Kiyoshi was idle anyway, so he might as well continue to cultivate and improve his strength.
Strands of electricity spread.
And Kiyoshi, even in his leisure time, was constantly transforming and becoming stronger.
“What a coincidence.”
He hadn't been running the technique for long when Kiyoshi heard footsteps. Looking outside, he saw Uchiha Hazuki and the man he had seen in the hospital that day walking in.
The Uchiha clan is treated as honored guests here at Granny Cat's, but that doesn't mean they only serve the Uchiha clan.
“Is this your clansman?”
Yamada Daiyu caught sight of the flame fan on Kiyoshi's Uchiha robe.
“Yes, he is… Uchiha Kiyoshi.”
Uchiha Hazuki nodded.
Kiyoshi had left directly after the secret meeting last night.
She herself didn't expect to meet Uchiha Kiyoshi here.
“Then you two chat for a while, I’ll go buy some shuriken.”
Yamada Daiyu flashed a smile, his white teeth showing, making him look very honest.
Seeing that he was Hazuki's clansman, he didn't think much of it, scratched his head, and went inside.
“Okay.”
Uchiha Hazuki nodded lightly.
She and Yamada Daiyu had a good relationship, and her only wish at the moment was for it to continue steadily.
Now only Kiyoshi and Uchiha Hazuki were left there.
“Kiyoshi, are you here to buy ninja tools too?”
Uchiha Hazuki took the initiative to ask.
“Yes.”
Kiyoshi nodded nonchalantly.
Uchiha Hazuki could feel the coldness in Kiyoshi's words, feeling a little awkward.
She was already vaguely certain that Kiyoshi was just putting on a naive appearance that day in order not to offend her.
If only her attitude had been better.
Uchiha Hazuki sighed quietly.
Who knew that Kiyoshi would be completely different from the stereotypical image of someone from the Land of Lightning, looking just like an Uchiha who had developed a little too quickly?
“Hazuki-nee, are you also here to buy ninja tools?”
Kiyoshi asked.
“I'm accompanying Daiyu to buy them.”
“I see, so you two are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?”
“Not… not yet.”
Uchiha Hazuki quickly waved her hand, embarrassed.
How could she, as a woman, say such a thing?
“How wonderful.”
Kiyoshi said, seemingly with emotion.
Just as Uchiha Hazuki thought it was Kiyoshi's blessing, Kiyoshi changed the subject and said:
“Doesn't an outsider like me have the right to be happy? You’ve been dragging your feet on giving me the ninjutsu I should have received for a month. I know, Hazuki-nee, that deep down you still discriminate against me.”
Kiyoshi stared at Uchiha Hazuki.
The Uchiha clan is a clan of "love."
It sounds ridiculous.
But in fact, the Uchiha have more "love" than the Senju, the Uzumaki, or even all the ninja clans in the ninja world.
So much so that they need to seal up their "love."
In reality, it's because the Uchiha's emotions are too abundant, leading to their personalities and methods being too extreme and self-centered, or rather, binary in their thinking.
Itachi extremely exterminated the entire clan, Sasuke extremely wanted to destroy Konoha, Fugaku extremely sacrificed his life for his son.
Madara extremely plotted the Eye of the Moon plan in order to realize his ideal.
Not to mention Obito, who went crazy for love and turned the ninja world upside down.
Even Sarada's awakening of the Sharingan was because everyone disagreed with her opinion, and she didn't first suspect that she was wrong, but stubbornly believed that everyone else, the world, was wrong.
Therefore, the Uchiha are arrogant and self-centered from the bottom of their hearts.
Uchiha Hazuki is the same. Her attitude that day was actually a subconscious reflection.
The arrogant her believed that the Land of Lightning was an inferior existence, just a bunch of uncouth bumpkins.
“No, that day I just…”
Uchiha Hazuki paused, wanting to explain.
“And that day, I couldn't even choose the ninjutsu I wanted to learn.”
Kiyoshi mentioned another matter.
This was because Uchiha Hazuki wanted to save trouble and didn't even let him choose which Lightning Release ninjutsu to learn.
“Lord Fugaku didn't specify which one you should learn, he only said it was a D-rank.”
Uchiha Hazuki immediately said.
“But Lord Fugaku didn't say I couldn't choose, and didn't Lord Fugaku say that we should unite with each other?”
Pulling rank?
Who wouldn't?
Kiyoshi directly brought out Fugaku.
To be honest, there was no escaping the fact that Uchiha Hazuki was dragging her feet on this matter.
It took Kiyoshi a month to get the ninjutsu!
Of course, this matter could be glossed over.
For example, to let him adapt to the ninja school more.
But Kiyoshi didn't give Uchiha Hazuki time to think, and continued:
“Tell me, how disappointed would Lord Fugaku be if he knew you were treating me like this.”
As he spoke, Kiyoshi's dark eyes revealed a scarlet color.
Each eye had a black tomoe rotating endlessly, emitting a hint of eerie feeling.
“!”
Uchiha Hazuki, in her shock, also activated her Sharingan.
Two pairs of scarlet Sharingan stared at each other silently.
Uchiha Kiyoshi actually didn't have any of the disadvantages of being a mixed-blood, and both eyes could be activated normally!
Uchiha Hazuki frowned, pursing her lower lip, the full lip lines clearly visible.
This is bad.
She already thought that Uchiha Kiyoshi was very talented, but now that both eyes have awakened the Sharingan, he has perfectly inherited the Uchiha's bloodline limit.
How many people of this age in the Uchiha clan have awakened their Sharingan?
Asking herself, Uchiha Hazuki had never seen anyone awaken their Sharingan so quickly in peacetime, except during the Ninja World War.
Kiyoshi is just a Genin who just graduated!
“Hazuki-nee, it seems that you have only changed your opinion of me in terms of my talent, but I am a person.”
Kiyoshi sighed.
“What do you want?”
Uchiha Hazuki asked the same question she had asked Samui before.
“I want to repair the clan bond between us.”
Kiyoshi looked at her equally scarlet Sharingan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Uchiha clan, as long as they are emotionally agitated, will subconsciously activate their Sharingan.
“How to repair it?”
An inexplicable sense of unease began to intensify in Uchiha Hazuki's heart.
She didn't think that what Kiyoshi, this little brat, was saying was the literal meaning.
Kiyoshi approached Uchiha Hazuki step by step.
Uchiha Hazuki, as a Chunin, began to retreat instead, until she was forced into a corner.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Kiyoshi's strength.
But she was worried about what the punishment would be if she reported it to Fugaku.
Given Kiyoshi's talent and unique identity, Fugaku would likely deal with this matter seriously.
If she was punished and transferred to a place like the border, what would happen to her relationship with Yamada Daiyu?
