Village Tyrant

This woman's reaction is strange!

Chiga had already anticipated Uchiha Fugaku's emotional outburst.

But Uchiha Mikoto's complete lack of reaction was something he had never expected.

Could it be that this woman didn't realize he was trying to break the two of them up?

Could it be that Uchiha Mikoto had no feelings for Uchiha Fugaku at all?

At this point, Uchiha Mikoto seemed to feel that she ought to show some reaction, so she said to Chiga with a beaming smile, "Fugaku and I just had a little misunderstanding. It's nowhere near the point of not getting married!"

"All right, I understand."

Chiga sighed. Since he couldn't obtain any Emotion Points from Uchiha Mikoto on this matter, he planned to intensify his suicidal antics.

He then pretended to size up Uchiha Mikoto and asked doubtfully, "Mikoto, it seems that after not seeing you for a few days..."

"Have you gotten prettier?"

Uchiha Mikoto was wearing a Home Outfit. She circled around in front of Chiga.

Chiga said bluntly, "No, you've gotten fatter!"

Negative emotions from Kushina Uzumaki, Emotion Points +20. First time obtaining Emotion Points from Kushina Uzumaki. Reward: 5 cards' worth of Chakra.

"???"

Chiga stared blankly at the Uchiha Mikoto before him, as if he had seen a ghost.

He hurriedly lowered his head so that Uchiha Fugaku and this object that was apparently Kushina Uzumaki wouldn't notice anything strange about him.

What's going on?

Kushina Uzumaki?

The system shouldn't be lying to him. And earlier, when he had clearly said things intended to break up their relationship, Chiga hadn't received any Emotion Points from Uchiha Mikoto. It seemed that she really wasn't Uchiha Mikoto.

At this moment, Chiga even wanted to activate his Sharingan and examine her carefully.

But considering that he had just provoked Kushina Uzumaki, if he activated his Sharingan to look, and Kushina Uzumaki stopped pretending, he might get beaten up!

He had heard of Kushina Uzumaki's notorious reputation—the Village Tyrant!

Everyone trembled in fear wherever she went!

But the question was, why had Kushina Uzumaki transformed into Uchiha Mikoto for no reason?

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki, who had transformed into Uchiha Mikoto, bent over. With a smile that did not reach her eyes, she reached out and pinched Chiga's cheek.

"Chiga, casually calling a woman fat won't win you any favor with girls!"

Hiss!

That strength...

Needless to say, it was definitely Kushina Uzumaki.

Chiga took a step back, not daring to let Kushina Uzumaki touch him again. "I understand, Mikoto. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first!"

With that, he ran off without even wanting to know why the two of them had come looking for him.

Kushina Uzumaki did not try to stop him. She merely watched Chiga's retreating figure, her eyes growing profound.

"He's already gone. You should change back now!"

Seeing Chiga walk away, Uchiha Fugaku immediately said to Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki nodded. Amid a cloud of smoke, she returned to her original appearance.

At the same time, the real Uchiha Mikoto appeared before the two of them using the Body Flicker Technique.

"Kushina, you almost blew your cover."

Uchiha Mikoto immediately complained to Kushina Uzumaki. As a refined young wife, how could she have spun around in front of someone else like that?

Kushina Uzumaki didn't really understand what Mikoto meant and only gave an awkward laugh. "Oh, I hate it when people say I've gotten fat. I lost control for a moment and almost changed back!"

Uchiha Mikoto didn't take it to heart. Instead, she asked curiously, "By the way, what were you talking about earlier? Fugaku looked gloomy the entire time."

Considering that Chiga was also a genius of the clan, Uchiha Mikoto hadn't gotten too close, so she hadn't heard the conversation between the three of them.

Kushina Uzumaki laughed awkwardly and brushed her off. "Haha, Mikoto, it's better if you don't know."

Given the things Chiga had said, Kushina dared to guarantee that if Mikoto found out, she would definitely make Chiga suffer.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto stopped asking. In any case, once Kushina left, Fugaku would tell her.

With that in mind, Uchiha Mikoto returned to the main topic. "What do you think? The disciple your boyfriend chose for you is pretty good, right?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku also turned his gaze toward Kushina Uzumaki.

As the planner of the Bonds Plan, Uchiha Fugaku had gone to find Minato Namikaze the day after discussing it with Chiga.

At the time, Kushina Uzumaki happened to be with Minato Namikaze.

So when she heard that the Uchiha clan wanted to send one of its members under Minato Namikaze's command, Kushina Uzumaki suggested taking a look at Chiga's capabilities in advance on Minato's behalf.

As for why she hadn't used her original appearance...

Let's put it this way: with her notorious reputation in Konoha, she was afraid she would frighten Chiga.

"His powers of observation are very sharp. He saw at a glance that Fugaku and I weren't on good terms. If my Transformation Technique hadn't been so well-practiced, he really would have noticed something was wrong."

Kushina Uzumaki spoke with great satisfaction.

"So you mean..."

Kushina Uzumaki clapped her hands. "Mm, I've decided. I'm going to take him as my disciple!"

"What?!" Uchiha Mikoto's eyes became round.

Even though they were close friends, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't keep up with Kushina's train of thought for a while.

They had clearly been talking about assessing Chiga on Minato's behalf. How had the assessment somehow turned into Kushina wanting to take him as her disciple?

Seeing the serious look on Kushina Uzumaki's face, Uchiha Mikoto turned her gaze toward Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku fell silent.

He truly hadn't expected Kushina Uzumaki to take a liking to Chiga.

Thinking about it carefully, although Minato Namikaze was certainly the best choice, Kushina Uzumaki didn't seem like a bad one either.

Kushina Uzumaki's own strength was at the Jonin level, and she was also a member of the Uzumaki Clan, extremely skilled in Sealing Ninjutsu.

Many important places in the village that required Sealing Techniques had their Sealing Barriers personally arranged by Kushina.

She was also an important figure in the village. The fact that she could behave outrageously in Konoha and still remain lively and well to this day made it clear that even the Konoha Higher-Ups were helpless against her.

Moreover, if Kushina Uzumaki became Chiga's Jonin Instructor, it might allow him to test out a certain possibility!

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—the secret that the Konoha Higher-Ups had always concealed, known only to a very small number of people.

And Kushina Uzumaki was the person in the entire village who aroused the most suspicion.

Most importantly, since Kushina Uzumaki had taken a liking to Chiga, could he save a sum of mission funding?

After thinking it over again and again, Uchiha Fugaku finally nodded discreetly.

The silent exchange between the married couple went unnoticed by Kushina Uzumaki.

"However, Fugaku already told Chiga in advance that Minato would be his Jonin Instructor. If we suddenly change the person, I'm afraid Chiga won't agree."

"Don't worry. Haven't you heard of my reputation in Konoha?" Kushina Uzumaki extended her hand and clenched it in front of her, speaking confidently. "He won't escape my grasp!"
