According to the original story's setting, Uzumaki Naruto and Second Pillar were the reincarnations of Asura and Indra respectively. Only by joining forces could they seal Kaguya.
Their destiny as the Hokage world's saviors had been decided from the moment they were born.
That was the fatalism of the Hokage world.
Without those two, Kaguya could not be sealed, and the Hokage world was doomed to perish?
Uchiha Kurohane believed that way of thinking was wrong.
As long as Black Zetsu was eliminated beforehand, Kaguya's seal would never be released. Naturally, Naruto and Sasuke's power would not be needed.
From another perspective, it was not Naruto and Sasuke who saved the world. Rather, Asura and Indra's chakra had chosen them and helped them save it.
Even without them, those two chakras would have chosen someone else. The people they chose could still save the world.
That was the flaw of bloodline supremacy.
It was not because the protagonists themselves were amazing, but because their bloodlines and cheats were amazing.
Put those bloodlines and cheats on anyone else, and they could be amazing too.
Based on those two ideas, Uchiha Kurohane believed there was nothing wrong with recruiting Kushina and Mikoto to prevent those two chosen children from being born.
If fatalism truly existed, Minato and Fugaku could still give birth to Naruto and Sasuke even if they married other people.
Even if they did not give birth to Naruto and Sasuke, but to Narudog and Yusuke instead, those two could save the world just the same.
At that moment, Uchiha Kurohane thought of another issue worth paying attention to.
He had previously obtained Sasuke's bloodline from Mikoto.
That meant Uchiha Kurohane could obtain their Entries through the birth conditions of those two protagonists.
Perhaps Uchiha Kurohane could use this method to directly acquire Asura and Indra's chakra.
Then he alone could save the world.
On the other hand, Uchiha Kurohane had continuously been raising the purity of his Otsutsuki Clan bloodline, which had now reached 31%.
Once his bloodline purity reached 100% and he became a true Otsutsuki superhuman, perhaps he could blast Kaguya apart head-on.
If that was the case, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
"Decided. I won't count on those two kids. In the future, I'll take on Kaguya all by myself!"
Having decided not to let Naruto and Sasuke be born, Uchiha Kurohane thought of another problem.
Once Naruto and Sasuke were no longer born, Hinata and Sakura would lose their future husbands.
They would have to stay single for the rest of their lives. What was he supposed to do about that?
Although Uchiha Kurohane instinctively wanted to help them and give them happiness for the rest of their lives,
on second thought, they would not even be born for another ten years, making them twenty years younger than Uchiha Kurohane!
Uchiha Kurohane could practically be their father!
That seemed a little beyond his ability to help.
Someone like Rin Nohara, whose age was not too far from his, was still acceptable.
But Uchiha Kurohane could be Hinata and Sakura's father.
That was taking fatherly love a bit too far...
While Uchiha Kurohane's imagination ran wild, he fell asleep.
In the morning, a burst of loud commotion woke Uchiha Kurohane.
Uchiha Kurohane climbed out of bed and pulled open the curtains. Bright spring sunlight streamed in, and the noise grew even louder.
Uchiha Kurohane rubbed his eyes and looked downstairs.
He saw Uchiha Setsuna walking down the middle of the street with Uchiha Fugaku and two young men.
Members of the Uchiha Clan filled both sides of the street.
Today was the day Uchiha Fugaku was leaving for the Land of Rain battlefield.
The entire Uchiha Clan had come to send off this great hero.
Uchiha Tekka cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Big Brother Fugaku, you're the Uchiha Clan's genius! Do your best! Show those country bumpkins in the Land of Rain what the Uchiha are capable of!"
"You're the Uchiha's little hero! You're the best!"
"Fugaku, don't disgrace the Uchiha Clan! As long as you defeat Hanzo, you'll be the future Hokage!"
Listening to the cheers of his clansmen, Uchiha Fugaku felt an intense swell of vanity. His expression became exceedingly smug, and even his stride turned arrogant.
Uchiha Fugaku happily imagined the moment he would return as a hero, his heart brimming with pride.
I'm going to become a hero!
I might even become Hokage!
But compared to those two things, he hoped even more to win the goddess's favor.
To him, Uchiha Mikoto was what mattered most.
Right, is Mikoto watching my heroic bearing?
Uchiha Fugaku immediately searched the crowd for Mikoto.
Mikoto was a delicate, stunning beauty, and she stood out sharply among the crowd. Uchiha Fugaku found her very quickly.
However, unlike what Uchiha Fugaku had expected, Mikoto was not looking at him with admiration.
Instead, she had raised her head and was looking toward the other side of the street.
What was she looking at?
What could possibly be more worth looking at than me, about to become a hero?
Following Mikoto's gaze, Uchiha Fugaku discovered that she was looking at a second-floor window by the street.
And standing in that window was none other than Uchiha Kurohane.
The moment Uchiha Fugaku saw this, he became completely enraged.
Mikoto was looking at that coward instead of me?
That coward was afraid of dying and did not dare take responsibility after causing trouble. I was the one going to the Land of Rain in his place. That coward should be grateful to me!
Mikoto should have been moved by my courage!
Why wasn't she looking at me? Why was she looking at that coward?
Uchiha Fugaku found it deeply unfair. He wanted to call Mikoto's name and make her look over.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Mikoto suddenly leaped up and landed on Uchiha Kurohane's windowsill.
Uchiha Fugaku was completely dumbfounded.
What was Mikoto jumping over there for?
With a light tap, Uchiha Mikoto gracefully leaped onto the second floor.
Her snowy-white legs were pressed together as she crouched cutely on the windowsill.
She brushed back the hair at her cheek and revealed an elegant smile.
"Good morning. You only just woke up? The sun is already shining on your butt."
Upon hearing the word "butt," Uchiha Kurohane instinctively looked at Mikoto's snowy-white legs.
As expected of a fourteen-year-old girl, the skin on her legs was dazzlingly fair, as tender and dewy as if they had been soaked in milk.
Under the golden sunlight, they were especially eye-catching.
Those beautiful legs paired with her delicate oval face instantly drove all sleepiness from Uchiha Kurohane's mind.
Uchiha Kurohane pushed the thick medical textbook on his bed toward Uchiha Mikoto.
"I was studying last night, so I went to bed late."
Uchiha Mikoto blinked her beautiful eyes, looking a little confused.
"Do you want to become a Medical Ninja?"
"Yeah. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Mikoto spoke frankly.
"You're very talented and could become a powerful ninja. Why do you want to be a Medical Ninja?"
At this time, Tsunade had yet to make a name for herself. In everyone's eyes, Medical Ninjas had no combat ability.
Uchiha Mikoto felt that would waste Uchiha Kurohane's talent.
Uchiha Kurohane answered with a smile.
"I don't want to see my companions die before my eyes. If I learn Medical Ninjutsu, I can save them."
Uchiha Mikoto froze for a moment. Once she understood his thoughts, the respect and admiration in her gaze toward Uchiha Kurohane deepened.
This child is truly so gentle.
Mikoto sighed from the bottom of her heart.
I seem to like him more and more.
