Inside Tsunade's tent~
Uchiha Lei deactivated his Mangekyō Sharingan, his pupils returning to their normal black. Then he turned, lifted the thin blanket, dressed neatly, and hung the Kusanagi Sword at his waist!
Against Hanzō, just activating a second-stage, flesh-and-blood Susanoo should be enough to overwhelm him!
Uchiha Lei stood up and spotted Uchiha Mikoto eavesdropping at the entrance. Anticipation filled his eyes!
Mikoto really was a treasure of a girl. After all, she had produced two Kage-level sons, Itachi and Sasuke, and neither was weak!
Uchiha Lei walked to the entrance, leaned close to Uchiha Mikoto's ear, and whispered:
"Mikoto, what are you looking at?"
"Ah~"
Uchiha Mikoto screamed!
Her voice was as piercing as a dolphin's whistle, ringing throughout the surrounding tent area!
Tsunade and Orochimaru turned back in confusion, while passing ninja stopped to stare at Uchiha Mikoto!
Uchiha Mikoto felt terribly embarrassed under everyone's stares. Her cheeks instantly turned as red as ripe apples, and she backed away to avoid their gazes!
But when Uchiha Mikoto stepped on Uchiha Lei's shoe~
Mikoto's ninja sandal slipped. She lost her balance and toppled backward!
Uchiha Lei reacted quickly, wrapping his right arm around Uchiha Mikoto's slender waist. He slowly lowered his head and said with a smile:
"Mikoto, are you all right?"
Leaning back in Uchiha Lei's arms, Uchiha Mikoto gazed at Lei with stars in her eyes, slowly shook her head, and replied:
"Lei, I'm fine!"
"Good. Then wait for me to come back here in camp!"
After speaking, Uchiha Lei helped Uchiha Mikoto stand upright, then walked over to Tsunade and Orochimaru at the entrance and raised a hand in greeting:
"Tsunade, Lord Orochimaru, good morning!"
"Good morning, Lei!"
Orochimaru raised a hand and greeted him with a smile!
Tsunade immediately objected. Like a hen protecting
