After returning home, Mikoto began busying herself with preparing lunch.
Though Fugaku had not spoken much when he was home, his absence now made the house feel far more deserted to Mikoto.
Before, she knew that no matter what, someone would still come home.
Now, only mother and son remained.
Thinking of Ayari's attitude toward her at the Hokage residence today, she felt even more miserable.
She had lost her husband's love and her friend as well.
"Mom, Uncle Yashiro is here."
Itachi's call suddenly rang out from the living room.
Hearing this, Mikoto turned off the stove, composed herself, untied her apron, and walked out.
She greeted him with a smile. "Yashiro."
Yashiro nodded. "Sorry to disturb you, Mikoto."
"What is it?"
"It's a clan matter. I came to discuss it with you."
Mikoto smiled. "You can decide all clan matters yourself. Fugaku trusted you so much, there's no need to ask me."
Uchiha Clan Yashiro was considered the second most important figure in the Uchiha Clan. No one in the clan objected to him temporarily managing clan affairs, and he was also very close to Fugaku's family.
But Yashiro said, "You should take a look first."
As he spoke, he placed a document he had brought on the low table before her and handed it to Mikoto.
Mikoto looked through it carefully in confusion. Halfway through, she hesitated. "This... counts as a good thing, doesn't it?"
If they truly relocated according to what the document described, the Uchiha Clan would undoubtedly be closer to the center of Konoha's power. Moreover, these were prime locations, very suitable for clan members who wanted to do business.
Yashiro nodded. "It is a good thing... and perhaps some compensation from Lord Hokage to our Uchiha Clan."
Mikoto: "..."
The meaning of that
