Sharing the Same Bed

Staring at the incredibly sturdy barrier before him, Uchiha Chen decided without hesitation to attempt Amaterasu. He fixed his gaze on the barrier, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes beginning to rotate slowly.

However, before he could even activate the Mangekyo Sharingan, a violent pain suddenly struck, as if his head were being torn apart.

The sudden, excruciating agony forced him to immediately close his Sharingan to alleviate the unbearable sensation.

As time passed, the pain gradually subsided, but Uchiha Chen did not attempt it again so easily.

He knew that after using Susanoo for so long today and unleashing the Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular techniques four times in a row, his body was already nearing its limit.

Although he possessed the Sage Body to nourish him and had no fear of the risk of blindness, it would not be difficult to force an activation if he truly had to.

It was just that, considering there was no urgent situation requiring him to break through the barrier to escape, he simply chose to give up.

Once he had thought it through, Uchiha Chen leaned against an undamaged tree nearby, gently closed his eyes, and steadied his spirit. After all, a barrier without a controller would surely dissipate on its own before long. For now, he just needed to wait quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, perhaps because the absorbed chakra had been exhausted or perhaps because the time limit had been reached, the barrier silently vanished without a sound.

Yet at this moment, only one hour had passed since Uchiha Chen had closed his eyes to rest.

Accompanied by the chirping of insects gradually rising in his ears, he clearly sensed the dissipation of the barrier and the ripples caused by the slight fluctuation of chakra.

Slowly opening his eyes and staring at the fading barrier, Uchiha Chen knew very well that he could not linger here any longer. Without hesitation, he reached out, hoisted the person onto his shoulder once more, and instantly performed the Body Flicker Technique, his figure vanishing in a flash.

Almost the moment Uchiha Chen left, less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, three figures dressed in black bodysuits, wearing masks and remaining silent, appeared like ghosts.

Clearly, they were Anbu from Konoha. Upon arrival, they immediately launched a comprehensive search and investigation of the surrounding environment. After some effort, these three found no clues on this battlefield, then turned and silently left the scene.

After all, the original body was a Jonin, so a simple cleanup of the battlefield was manageable, especially since most traces had already been burned away by Amaterasu.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Chen led Fugaku to avoid all the hidden sentries along the way, successfully arriving at the clan leader's residence once again.

Thinking that this place would become his territory in the future, an uncontrollable surge of excitement welled up in his heart, causing Uchiha Chen to feel invigorated, and a smug smile couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Uchiha Chen did not call out to open the door, for in the silence of the deep night, any noise would attract the attention of the hidden sentries.

He exerted a slight force in his lower body, leaped onto the wall, flipped into the courtyard, and navigated the familiar path to the bedroom.

Upon entering the room, he tossed Fugaku aside and paid him no further mind. After all, Fugaku had not suffered any serious external injuries, and most of the power of Tsukuyomi had been mitigated by the Mangekyo Sharingan; the remaining attack, while painful, was just that—it would not cause any major damage.

He only needed one night of rest to wake up tomorrow; after two more days of recovery, he would be back to normal, showing no signs of anything unusual.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Chen suddenly frowned, his gaze falling upon the beauty who had remained fast asleep since he entered the room.

It took a long while before he realized one thing: he had made such a commotion when he entered—the sound of the Space Gate, and the dull thud of tossing a person onto the floor—why did this woman still show no reaction?

He reached out and carefully examined Mikoto, only then confirming that she had been drugged and remained in a comatose state.

Originally, Uchiha Chen had intended to take advantage of the situation to consummate their union, but seeing the oblivious Mikoto before him, he suddenly felt it was devoid of interest.

In the end, he simply lay quietly beside Mikoto, reached his hand into her sleepwear, found those two towering peaks, and began to fondle and knead them as he gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day!

Uchiha Chen was awakened from his slumber by a light knocking at the door. He slowly opened his eyes and rubbed them, trying to fully wake himself up.

As his vision cleared, he was surprised to find that the person beside him had awakened at some point and was lying on her side, gazing at him quietly with eyes full of affection.

On the other side, Fugaku had also awakened, looking no different from his usual self, though his sunken eye sockets revealed his exhaustion and lethargy without reservation.

At this moment, seeing Uchiha Chen's hand tucked into Mikoto's sleepwear, his expression did not change; he remained kneeling respectfully to the side.

Of course, the current Fugaku was controlled by Uchiha Chen and would only act according to Uchiha Chen's instructions.

Just as they were immersed in this subtle atmosphere, an increasingly urgent knocking came from outside the door, and Uchiha Itachi's voice drifted into the room: "Father, please come out. There are Anbu outside asking to speak with you regarding last night's events."

After speaking, Uchiha Itachi stood quietly outside the room, waiting for a reply.

Hearing his son's call, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense. Fugaku and Uchiha Chen exchanged a glance but said nothing; instead, Fugaku took a deep breath and replied with composure: "I understand. I will be right there."

Hearing his father's reply from inside, Uchiha Itachi thought nothing of it and turned to leave.

Yet, he was completely unaware that a third person was currently hiding in the room, brazenly holding his mother.

As Uchiha Itachi walked further away, the footsteps outside the door gradually faded into nothingness.

Uchiha Chen turned to look at Fugaku, who was kneeling to the side awaiting instructions, his eyes revealing a trace of majesty.

After a moment of silence, he asked slowly: "Fugaku, do you know how to respond to the Anbu?"

Hearing Uchiha Chen's question, Fugaku immediately performed a deep, respectful bow to him, then raised his head and replied with a firm tone: "Master, this subordinate understands."

"I will find a way to fabricate a suitable excuse to send them away; I will never let what happened last night leak out in the slightest." Seeing Fugaku's resolute attitude, Uchiha Chen nodded in satisfaction, expressing his approval.

Then, he casually ordered: "Go then, but remember not to arouse any suspicion. When you are finished, remember to bring me some food." As soon as he finished speaking, he lay back down on the bed, embracing the beauty as he drifted back to sleep.

"Yes!" Having received the order, Fugaku responded respectfully once more before rising to leave. Accompanied by the sounds of the door opening and closing, and the fading footsteps, the room returned to tranquility once again.
