Uchiha Kurohane really liked those big-sister types who looked gentle and virtuous on the outside, yet possessed the personality of an empress within.

This was the first layer of contrast.

And taming such an S-type big sister into a gentle, obedient little woman was the second layer of contrast.

Uchiha Kurohane fantasized about the allure of Uchiha Mikoto's double contrast and grew excited without realizing it.

"If one hundred million isn't enough, double it—I'll give big sister another ten hundred million!"

Uchiha Mikoto didn't understand what he was saying and tilted her head in confusion.

"What one hundred million, ten hundred million? What are you talking about?"

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's pure and innocent expression, Uchiha Kurohane felt a secret pang of regret.

Although she looked mature now, she was really just a pure fourteen-year-old girl.

She still didn't understand anything.

He would wait until she grew up a bit more, then slowly teach her.

"It's one hundred million cells' worth of chakra. If big sister thinks one hundred million isn't enough, I'll give big sister ten hundred million."

"So you're talking about transferring chakra. One hundred million cells' worth of chakra is too little."

"Chakra is measured in trillions."

If this beautiful girl wanted a trillion cells, that would be far too much—Uchiha Kurohane felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Madam, your appetite is too big!

He could only choose to pay in installments.

One payment per day.

(It referred to the setting of transferring chakra in Naruto.)

"Your words are quite interesting and full of imagination. I like you even more now."

Uchiha Mikoto released the hand that had been hooked under Uchiha Kurohane's chin and instead placed it on his head, gently patting it.

"Be my little brother. I'll protect you."

Those words gave Uchiha Kurohane a sense of déjà vu—he had just said the same thing to Kushina Uzumaki.

She always stole his lines. Did they share a telepathic connection?

Seeing that Uchiha Kurohane didn't answer, Uchiha Mikoto continued.

"You don't 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'll be the Hokage's assistant."

So she also wanted to be the female HokageKonoha's future female Hokages were getting a bit numerous.

That gave the Uchiha Kurohane who wanted to become the man of the Five Kage a slight sense of trouble... as if!

Uchiha Kurohane had trained his physique desperately since childhood, aiming to become an athlete, all in preparation for this.

Now, with the reinforcement of his massive Yang Release chakra, he had no fear at all.

Forget three female Hokages—even twelve wouldn't matter.

Uchiha Kurohane dropped his joking expression and spoke seriously.

"Sorry, my dream is to become the man of the Five Kage. I can't agree to that."

"The man of the Five Kage?"

Uchiha Mikoto was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter while clutching her stomach.

"Hahaha~ Does 'the man of the Five Kage' mean you want to become the Hokage, Tsuchikage, Raikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage? Do you want to unify the shinobi world?"

Although Uchiha Mikoto's laughter was exaggerated, she maintained her elegant young-lady demeanor, laughing with grace.

It didn't feel annoying at all.

"Yes, my dream is to unify the shinobi world and end the wars that have lasted for thousands of years."

Hearing this grand dream, Uchiha Mikoto was stunned again. She then realized her earlier laughter had been very unbecoming and hurriedly covered her mouth with her small hand, stopping her smile.

"...Sorry, I didn't mean to mock your dream. It's just that your dream is too grand."

"Even Madara couldn't do it."

Uchiha Kurohane thought that if Madara hadn't had only Hashirama in his eyes, he could have done it.

In the era of the First Shinobi World War, many ninjutsu hadn't been developed yet.

With Madara piloting the Susanoo Gundam and bringing the Nine-Tails, no one except Hashirama could have stopped him.

"He just didn't want to. If he wanted to, he definitely could have."

As a girl of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Mikoto greatly admired Madara and nodded with deep feeling.

"You're right. If it's Madara, he could definitely do it."

Seeing that she agreed with him, Uchiha Kurohane tried to persuade her.

"Sister Mikoto, are you willing to help me realize this dream?"

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and patted his head.

"You want to compete with me for Hokage, yet you ask me to help you?"

"Don't be naive, you're my enemy! However..."

Uchiha Mikoto paused, revealing her pearly white teeth as she gave a brilliant smile.

"You're quite ambitious; in terms of dreams, yours are even grander than mine. I'll remember you."

"But remember this: the position of Hokage is mine. If you don't want to be my enemy, change your dream to becoming the Fourth Shadow instead."

Uchiha Mikoto pinched Uchiha Kurohane's cheek and turned to leave with a graceful air.

Watching the back of the girl radiating youthful charm, Uchiha Kurohane's lips curled up, and he licked his lips with a wicked glint in his eyes.

My lady, the consequences of being my enemy are quite miserable.

You should be glad that your dream is to be a female Hokage, while my dream is to be the man behind the Hokage.

Our goals don't conflict; in fact, they are perfectly aligned.

Wait... why do I keep calling her "my lady"?

Don't get it twisted, she's a fresh, beautiful young girl right now!

Just then, a cry from Ji echoed in Uchiha Kurohane's mind.

[Ji~ Host has captured Mikoto's attention. She considers you an interestingly unique man. Host has achieved "Uchiha Mikoto's Favor" and obtained the trait "Otsutsuki Bloodline: Sasuke."]

[Host's Otsutsuki bloodline purity +15%, reaching 31%.]

(Otsutsuki Bloodline: Sasuke: The Uchiha clan are descendants of Indra and possess the Otsutsuki bloodline. Host's base abilities and potential are significantly enhanced. Additionally, you gain the ability "Sharingan": Host can activate the One-Tomoe Sharingan. Once activated, dynamic vision is greatly enhanced, and you can predict the movement trajectories of objects.)

?

Following the usual logic, the system should have rewarded Uchiha Mikoto's bloodline; why did it reward Sasuke's instead?

Am I becoming "Number Two" now, destined to be Mikoto's son?

Stop joking around. I won't be Number Two; I'm going to be Number Two's father!

However, what made Uchiha Kurohane happy was that the system had directly activated the Sharingan for him.

This saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

He felt satisfied with this sensible system.

On the other hand, he confirmed an important issue.

The purity of the Otsutsuki bloodline could be directly added together.

His current bloodline purity had reached 31%, making him effectively one-third Otsutsuki.

Through a simple calculation, he could deduce that his original Otsutsuki bloodline purity was 1%.

Even though they were both of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke's Otsutsuki bloodline purity was 15%, while Uchiha Kurohane's was only 1%—a mere fifteenth of Sasuke's!

That was so unfair!

This also explained why most of the Uchiha clan were weaklings; the bloodline purity of ordinary cannon fodder was extremely low.

(As the host's Otsutsuki bloodline purity increases, the Kekkei Genkai Yatagarasu can be further upgraded. Please achieve more milestones as soon as possible to obtain upgrade traits.)

The Yatagarasu, which already came with a full-map function, could be upgraded!

What kind of abilities would it have after the upgrade? Uchiha Kurohane began to look forward to it.
