Uchiha Kurohane was very fond of older women who looked virtuous and gentle on the outside but had queenly personalities on the inside.
That was the first layer of contrast.
And taming one of those domineering older women until she became a gentle, obedient little wife was the second.
Imagining Uchiha Mikoto's double contrast, Uchiha Kurohane couldn't help getting excited.
"If one hundred million isn't enough, I'll double it and give you another billion, big sis!"
Uchiha Mikoto didn't understand what he was talking about. She tilted her head in confusion.
"What do you mean, one hundred million and a billion? What are you talking about?"
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's pure, innocent expression, Uchiha Kurohane felt a pang of regret.
Although she looked mature now, she was really just an innocent fourteen-year-old girl.
She didn't know anything yet.
He'd teach her gradually once she was a little older.
"I mean one hundred million cells' worth of chakra. If that's not enough for you, big sis, I'll give you a billion."
"So you mean transferring chakra? One hundred million cells' worth is far too little."
"Chakra is measured in trillions."
Did this beautiful girl want a trillion cells' worth? That would be far too much. Just thinking about it made Uchiha Kurohane feel he couldn't handle it.
Madam, your appetite is too big!
He'd have to pay in installments.
One payment a day.
(This refers to the chakra-transferring mechanic in Naruto.)
"You say such interesting things. You have a vivid imagination. I like you even more now."
Uchiha Mikoto let go of Uchiha Kurohane's chin and placed her hand on his head instead, gently stroking it.
"Be my little brother. I'll protect you."
Her words sounded familiar to Uchiha Kurohane. He'd just said the same thing to Kushina Uzumaki.
She keeps stealing my lines. Could we be connected at the heart?
When Uchiha Kurohane didn't answer, Uchiha Mikoto continued.
"Don't you believe I can protect you?"
"I'll tell you a secret. I'm going to become Konoha's first female Hokage. Once I'm Hokage, you can be my assistant."
So you wanted to be a female Hokage too. There were going to be quite a few female Hokage in Konoha's future.
That gave Uchiha Kurohane, who wanted to become the man of the Five Kage, a bit of a headache... Just kidding!
Uchiha Kurohane had trained his body like crazy since he was little, hoping to become an athlete. He'd been preparing for this all along.
Now that he had an immense amount of Yang Release Chakra strengthening him, he wasn't afraid of anything.
Three female Hokage? No problem. Even twelve wouldn't faze him.
Uchiha Kurohane dropped his joking expression and answered seriously.
"Sorry. My dream is to become the man of the Five Kage. I can't accept."
"The man of the Five Kage?"
Uchiha Mikoto froze for a moment, then clutched her stomach and burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha! You mean you want to become Hokage, Tsuchikage, Raikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage? You want to unite the Shinobi World?"
Although Uchiha Mikoto laughed dramatically, she maintained the elegant bearing of a young lady. Even her laughter was graceful.
There was nothing unpleasant about it.
"That's right. My dream is to unite the Shinobi World and end the wars that have continued for thousands of years."
Hearing this grand ambition, Uchiha Mikoto froze again. Then she realized how unladylike her laughter had been, hurriedly covered her mouth with her small hand, and stopped laughing.
"...Sorry. I wasn't trying to mock your dream. It's just so ambitious."
"Even Lord Madara couldn't do it."
Uchiha Kurohane thought that if Madara hadn't only had eyes for Hashirama, he could have done it.
Back in the days of the First Shinobi World War, many Ninjutsu techniques had yet to be developed.
With his Susanoo Gundam and the Nine-Tails, there was no one who could stand against Madara except Hashirama.
"He just didn't want to do it. If he'd wanted to, he definitely could have."
As a young woman of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Mikoto deeply admired Madara. She nodded in agreement.
"That's true. If it were Lord Madara, he definitely could have done it."
Seeing that she agreed with him, Uchiha Kurohane tried to talk her into helping.
"Big sis Mikoto, would you help me make my dream come true?"
Uchiha Mikoto laughed and patted his head.
"You want to compete with me for the Hokage Position, and now you're asking me to help you?"
"Don't be naive. You're my enemy! But..."
Uchiha Mikoto paused, revealing her pearly white teeth as she smiled brightly.
"You've got a lot of ambition. Your dream is even grander than mine. I'll remember you."
"But remember this: the Hokage Position is mine. If you don't want to be my enemy, change your dream and settle for becoming one of the other four Kage."
Uchiha Mikoto pinched Uchiha Kurohane's cheek, then turned and walked away with a carefree stride.
Watching the back of the girl, radiating youthful charm, Uchiha Kurohane's lips curled into a smile. He licked them with a wicked look.
Madam, the fate of anyone who becomes my enemy is a terrible one.
You should be glad your dream is to become a female Hokage, while mine is to become a Hokage's man.
Our goals don't conflict. In fact, they're the same.
Wait... Why do I keep calling her Madam?
Don't get it wrong. She's a fresh-faced beauty right now!
Just then, a squeal rang out in Uchiha Kurohane's mind.
[Hime! The host has caught Mikoto's attention. She thinks you're an interesting man unlike any other. The host has achieved the accomplishment "Uchiha Mikoto's Favor" and received the Entry "Otsutsuki Bloodline: Sasuke."]
[The host's Otsutsuki Bloodline purity has increased by 15%, bringing it to 31%.]
(Otsutsuki Bloodline: Sasuke: The Uchiha Clan are descendants of Indra and possess Otsutsuki Bloodline. The host's basic abilities and potential have increased significantly. The host has also gained the ability "Sharingan": the host can awaken the One-Tomoe Sharingan. Once awakened, the host's dynamic vision will greatly improve, and he will be able to predict the trajectories of moving objects.)
?
Under normal circumstances, the system should have rewarded him with Uchiha Mikoto's bloodline. Why had it given him Sasuke's instead?
Was he turning into Sasuke now, and going to become Mikoto's son?
Don't joke around. He wasn't going to be Sasuke. He was going to be Sasuke's dad!
What made Uchiha Kurohane happy, though, was that the system had awakened his Sharingan for him.
That spared him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
He was pleased with how considerate the system was.
At the same time, he confirmed something important.
Otsutsuki Bloodline purity could be added directly.
His Bloodline purity had now reached 31%, making him roughly one-third Otsutsuki.
A simple calculation showed that his original Otsutsuki Bloodline purity had been 1%.
They were both members of the Uchiha Clan, yet Sasuke's Otsutsuki Bloodline purity was 15%, while Uchiha Kurohane's was only 1%—a mere fifteenth of Sasuke's!
That was so unfair!
It also explained why most of the Uchiha Clan were weaklings: ordinary nobodies had extremely low Bloodline purity.
(The host's Otsutsuki Bloodline purity has increased. The Kekkei Genkai Yatagarasu can be upgraded further. Please complete accomplishments as soon as possible to obtain an upgrade Entry.)
Yatagarasu, with its full-map feature, could be upgraded!
What abilities would it gain after the upgrade? Uchiha Kurohane couldn't wait to find out.
