Auntie

"Mom, I want to eat dango."

[Are you sure you mean "dango" balls?]

The system was still habitually arguing with him, but Naruto ignored it. He lay comfortably with his head on Mikoto Uchiha's lap, thoroughly enjoying himself as he burrowed into his new mother's embrace.

"Okay!" Mikoto Uchiha fondly tousled Naruto's hair and personally picked up the three-colored dango on the table to feed him.

Come to think of it, this was her first time doing something like this.

Her eldest son, Itachi Uchiha, had matured far too early and had never acted spoiled around her since childhood.

As for her second son, Sasuke Uchiha, he was completely his brother's little follower. He only acted spoiled around his brother and had never once considered his poor old mother.

Now that Naruto relied on her so much, Mikoto Uchiha finally got to indulge in some warmth and affection. She welcomed every request Naruto made while acting spoiled in her arms.

Wanted milk?

She personally brought the milk to his lips.

Wanted dango.

She fed the dango into his mouth one by one.

As for Naruto, he naturally couldn't ask for more of this warmth. As for why...

Ahem, don't ask.

Everyone had their own privacy. Asking meant you were crossing the line!

After eating another sweet dango, Naruto Uzumaki said contentedly, "Mom is the best!"

After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Sasuke Uchiha, who was still lying motionless on the sofa like a statue.

A world where only Sasuke got hurt had been achieved!

But honestly, this little firecracker really could endure!

If it were Naruto, he would have been unable to stand it long ago.

He hadn't noticed it when he watched the anime in his previous life, but Sasuke Uchiha actually had quite a flexible heart.

What Naruto didn't know was that Sasuke was already filled with grief and indignation. It wasn't that he could endure it; he just felt that if he got up now, everyone would realize he had been pretending to sleep.

That would be even more embarrassing!

Sasuke Uchiha didn't know that he was the only one who thought he had disguised himself well.

The sky gradually darkened, and the world outside had already turned dim and gray.

Though somewhat reluctant, Naruto didn't cling to this tenderness. He knew his limits and understood that the people in the village would never allow him to stay with the Uchiha clan for long.

So, after eating all the dango, Naruto slowly climbed out of Mikoto Uchiha's embrace.

Then, deliberately putting on a reluctant expression, he said, "Mom Mikoto, I should go now. The rest of your family should be coming back soon, right? If I don't leave, they might feel uncomfortable!"

He didn't say that he wanted to leave because of the village. Instead, he shifted the blame onto Mikoto Uchiha's family.

At those words, Mikoto Uchiha's smiling expression became somewhat forlorn. They could only bear that blame, and they had to bear it.

Of course, that wasn't important.

She simply felt sorry for Naruto. For someone so young to say such things, it was clear just how much grievance he usually suffered.

This child lived far too cautiously.

"Mm, go on!" Mikoto Uchiha waved goodbye to Naruto.

Then she saw that at that moment, Naruto revealed a slightly sad expression.

Was it because she hadn't asked him to stay?

Sorry, Naruto. I can't ask you to stay.

"Come play again when you have time!"

"Mm!"

Hearing that reply, Naruto finally smiled brightly. Then he waved goodbye and quickly ran out of the Uchiha residence.

[Kind Mom Mikoto had no idea that all of this was evil Naruto Uzumaki's disguise. He was deliberately stirring up Mom Mikoto's sympathy. He was guiding Mom Mikoto.]

[He wanted to climb, step by step by step, to a high place in Mom Mikoto's heart, making her unwilling to sever ties with him. That way, he could receive 2 Mom Coins every day before Mom Mikoto died.]

Stupid system, don't make me sound so awful, okay? Could you describe me from a more positive perspective?

The system's description nearly made Naruto lose his composure, so he hurriedly sped up his departure.

Watching his retreating figure, Mikoto Uchiha's breathing grew a little heavy. She forced out a smile and murmured:

"What a sensible child."

And compared to her own children?

After Naruto left, Sasuke Uchiha, who had been pretending for so long, finally couldn't keep it up. He stood and staggered toward Mikoto Uchiha.

"Mom, how could you agree to let that bastard call you Mom? He's a shameless bad guy!"

"..."

Looking at her son's shameless appearance, Mikoto Uchiha, who was currently feeling sorry for Naruto, completely lost any desire to give this bastard son who had lost his own mother a pleasant look.

She didn't say another word. Instead, she gently pushed Sasuke Uchiha away and said:

"Sorry, Sasuke has already lost me to Naruto, you know. So I'm Naruto's mother now, not Sasuke's mother."

"Please don't call me that."

"Sasuke should call me Auntie, or Mrs. Uchiha."

Hearing Mikoto Uchiha's words, Sasuke Uchiha was struck as if by a bolt from the blue and stood frozen for a very, very long time.

Two words surfaced in his mind.

It's over!

Not long after, Fugaku Uchiha returned home. When the two of them saw Sasuke Uchiha looking utterly despondent, they immediately asked what had happened.

Sasuke Uchiha was too embarrassed to say it himself, but Mikoto Uchiha had no intention of covering for him.

After hearing the whole story, Fugaku Uchiha had only two words of evaluation.

"Useless!"

Sasuke Uchiha lowered his head even further.

Then tears began to drip from his eyes. His pupils turned scarlet, each gaining a single tomoe.

Sharingan!

Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha both turned their gazes toward him.

"Mom..."

"No!"

"Mikoto Auntie." Sasuke Uchiha said solemnly, "I'll definitely win you back with my own hands!"

After saying that, Sasuke Uchiha wiped away his tears and left, rushing straight to the backyard to train.

Seeing her son's heartbroken appearance, Mikoto wanted to follow him, but Fugaku Uchiha stopped her.

"Don't go. This is a good thing. Fortunately, Itachi isn't home today. With how much he dotes on his little brother, if he comforted Sasuke, Sasuke definitely wouldn't have awakened his Sharingan today."

Mikoto Uchiha followed up, "We also have Naruto to thank. If he hadn't taught Sasuke a lesson, Sasuke's proud and arrogant nature wouldn't have matured so quickly."

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes shifted slightly as he smiled. "In the future, we can let Sasuke interact with the Jinchūriki more often."

"What Jinchūriki? That's such an unpleasant way to address him. That child is named Naruto." Mikoto Uchiha's tone carried a trace of displeasure.

"Heh heh!" Fugaku Uchiha neither agreed nor disagreed, merely smiling as he said, "I understand!"

As long as the Tailed Beast was extracted from the Jinchūriki, the Mangekyō Sharingan would be able to perfectly control the Tailed Beast.

Perhaps it would be of great use in the future!
