In the end, Ryuzetsu agreed to go to the Ninja Academy.
As for Sasuke's question...
Kagami Uchiha never expected Genko to be so straightforward, bringing her along as soon as he said he was weaning her, and actually just leaving her at his house, regardless of whether Kagami was home or not.
After some thought, Kagami Uchiha ordered a house to be built next to his own home so that Uchiha Mikoto could take care of the children.
Yakushi Kabuto and Yamato were also found. They usually shuttle between the Yakushi Nonō Orphanage and the Uchiha Clan Compound to take care of the children.
Kagami Uchiha found Nonō.
"Kagami-sama."
Even with years of undercover experience, truly facing Kagami Uchiha directly...
Nonō felt as if her entire body was Binding Vow by invisible ropes, stiff as a sculpture, and every movement seemed so difficult.
Kagami Uchiha did not exude any aura; it was simply that, having served as an undercover agent, she possessed a natural sensitivity to danger.
I feel like a baby rabbit sitting opposite a ferocious dragon.
It's normal to feel nervous.
"Yakushi Nonō".
"I have more faith in your talent for dealing with children than in your ability to infiltrate."
Kagami Uchiha sat casually, legs crossed, hands resting on his knees.
"There will be suitable people to manage the orphanage. I'm going to select a group of children to be raised in the clan's territory. You can come and take care of them from now on."
Nonō knew that this was not a question, but an order.
She dared to negotiate with Danzo, but with this man, she couldn't muster any thoughts other than obedience.
"I understand, Kagami-sama."
"May I ask... about that child, Kabuto..."
"He is an outstanding talent," Kagami Uchiha said calmly.
"Just do your job well and don't do anything extra, understand?"
"Clear!"
Kagami Uchiha nodded. "Go out and call the one outside in."
Mikoto looked somewhat haggard. If another woman had experienced what she went through, she would probably have lost all hope.
The family was already being imprisoned in a form, and now their youngest son has been taken away.
If Itachi hadn't comforted her and assured her that Sasuke wouldn't be harmed, she would have gone to find Kagami Uchiha and committed suicide to atone for her sins.
"Kagami-kun ..."
Kagami Uchiha tapped his fingertips lightly, his tone indifferent.
"Sasuke needs his mother's care. He has already lost his father. Don't let him lose his mother too."
"I can tell you that Sasuke is a disciple I have high hopes for. He is different from those two and has a bright future."
"For Sasuke's sake, you know what to do."
Mikoto's body trembled, and tears streamed down her face.
Given her haggard appearance, she looked truly pitiful.
Her hand moved to her waist and gripped the belt.
Kagami Uchiha frowned, a trace of his aura emanating from him, instantly freezing Mikoto in place.
Who do you think I am?
With a hint of murderous intent in his words, Kagami Uchiha stood up.
"You're too clever for your own good!"
"Stop this kind of behavior that tarnishes the name of the Uchiha. It really disgusts me."
Kagami Uchiha left in anger.
Once he stepped outside, he realized something was amiss.
In his mind, what he meant was that Uchiha Mikoto should just take care of Sasuke and not mention Fugaku and Itachi.
But...
In her opinion, her words might... seem... somewhat ambiguous...
Never mind, there's no need to explain.
Kagami Uchiha quickly remembered something else.
Uchiha Obito...
He looked down on the so-called Four Nations Alliance, but he still valued the Akatsuki.
If Obito is determined to develop in secret, finding him won't be easy.
With Izanagi and the dual Kamui, as long as he's a little cowardly, Obito's ability to survive is no weaker than Orochimaru's.
As for taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the Rinnegan from the Land of Rain...
Kagami Uchiha disdained to do such a thing.
He was also looking forward to Uchiha Madara's return at his peak, to continue that never-ending battle.
When dealing with other enemies, Kagami Uchiha does not hesitate to use despicable methods.
Only Madara, Kagami Uchiha truly wanted to defeat him fair and square!
Soon, it will be the end of the month.
Regardless of whether Obito will come or not, Konoha has entered a state of alert as Kushina is about to give birth.
Minato directly chose the Uchiha Clan Compound as the production site.
A newly built courtyard is home to Yakushi Nonō and Mikoto, along with their two children, Yamato and Kabuto, and the infant Sasuke.
Before being taken into the delivery room, Kushina nervously held Mikoto's hand.
"Mikoto... childbirth must be very painful, right?"
Uchiha Mikoto gently stroked her forehead and softly comforted her, "It's okay, you have to think about it. Naruto also wants to see his mother soon."
"All right..."
Kushina, unusually, seemed weak and timid.
She looked at the tense Minato.
"Minato, I'm a little scared..."
No matter how strong they are, they are still afraid of death. Kagami Uchiha's prophecy really frightened them.
Moreover, more than her own death, Kushina feared what Naruto would do if she died...
Minato forced a smile to hide the worry in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'll always be by your side!"
A wisp of scarlet chakra leaked out, exuding an extremely fierce aura.
When Jinchuriki gives birth, the seal will loosen.
"Quickly move her to the delivery room and cast a barrier to stabilize the seal!"
Biwako Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise.
Minato, however, looked toward Kagami Uchiha, who was yawning on a recliner beside him.
"Kagami, please, use your Sharingan!"
"... Are you a Pokémon Trainer?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Kagami Uchiha's Three-Tomoe shimmered in his eye sockets.
The projection shaped by the power of the pupil crashed into the Nine-Tails's sealed space.
Some of the chains Binding Vow the Nine-Tails had loosened, and the Nine-Tails, which was struggling fiercely, paused when it sensed someone entering.
"Spot!!!!"
"Shut up, are you Hashirama Senju? You start your day with those lines."
They exchanged a glance.
Three Tomoe appeared in the Nine-Tails's eye sockets, and the fox calmed down.
Attribute advantage is that simple.
Moreover, their strength is overwhelming.
Outside world.
Kushina breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed that the Nine-Tails was even more docile than when she had sealed it away.
Forcing a smile, he thanked Kagami Uchiha: "Thank you, Kagami."
Kagami Uchiha yawned; normally he would be asleep by this time.
"Go have the baby quickly, I need to go to sleep after I'm done."
"... You brat, don't make having a baby sound so simple..."
Minato followed him in, disregarding any secrecy given the potential danger.
The moon in the sky is very round.
Kagami Uchiha leaned back in his recliner, looking up at the moon. This creation of the Sealing Jutsu was like a giant eye, watching over the Shinobi World.
He lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
At either end of the eaves, Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo were squatting.
In the open space not far away, there were several giant Toad.
If Obito dares to show up with this lineup, then he's incredibly bold.
Uchiha Mikoto held Sasuke, who suddenly burst into tears, and looked around the room with some concern.
After setting up the spacetime barrier, Minato held Kushina's hand tightly.
For a long time...
As a cry came from inside the house, Sasuke, who had been crying loudly, suddenly quieted down, as if he were listening.
Naruto was born.
Kagami Uchiha was rocking in his recliner, paused.
He sensed it; a probing gaze flashed by.
Is it... the Sage of Six Paths?
A cold smile crept across Kagami Uchiha's lips.
The only difference between you, old man, and Jiraiya is your strength.
They are all just... obsessed with prophecies.
Tonight.
Nothing happened.
