Chapter 190 What? Mikoto-nee doesn't want to?
"So that's how it is..."
This was the first time Mikoto had ever heard such a secret.
The "Mangekyou Sharingan" is an incredibly mysterious symbol within the Uchiha clan.
Few people know the key to this.
I never imagined it would come at the cost of blindness!
In that case, even if we confront Konoha, Konoha won't take action against Uchiha.
Fugaku will also be transferred to the front lines where many skilled fighters gather.
Given the terrifying frequency of battles during the war, Fugaku's eyes would soon go completely blind.
Even the three-tomoe Sharingan could not be preserved.
Their strength has decreased instead of increased!
A ninja's eyes are second only to his hands.
A ninja without eyes is essentially crippled; sensory perception can never replace the ability to see with eyes.
The more Mikoto thought about it, the more worried she became.
"Don't worry, we just need to weather this storm."
Fugaku spoke.
There must be some Konoha high-ranking officials who have a particular prejudice against the Uchiha clan, especially given the sudden spread of rumors that came without any warning.
However, as long as you insist that you don't know, the Konoha higher-ups will give up after a few investigations.
After all, the Uchiha clan is an emotional clan, and their eye power can be greatly enhanced due to stimulation during battle.
Once he gets through this crisis, he can hide his "Mangekyou Sharingan" and wait for the right time to use it.
Moreover, it would be good to practice the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique in private, as there is currently no suitable opportunity.
"yes."
Mikoto pursed her lips.
I've already made up my mind to go see Qing Si again.
…………
"The power of the demons also has a catalytic effect on you."
Qing Si made an initial attempt to use the power of the demons to improve the white snake's body.
There have been numerous clinical trials conducted in the laboratory on other snake species.
Now I suddenly understand the entry for "Beast Tamer (Green)".
The requirement is to help a summoned beast get through its infancy.
The effect is simple: it can increase the size of the spirit beasts that Kiyoshi has tamed.
"You can visit the Inuzuka clan sometime."
Qing Si looked down at the white snake.
At this moment, the white snake's body had grown larger, and wisps of purplish-black energy emanated from it. It affectionately guarded Qing Si's hand.
"Hmm, we also need to speed things up in terms of intelligence."
Qing Si discovered that the white snake only grew taller, but not smarter.
Gamakichi can already talk at this age, while the White Snake is still completely clueless.
"Come in."
Kiyoshi suddenly sensed something and opened his sleeve.
The white snake shrank instantly, slipped into Qing Si's left sleeve, and coiled around his arm.
Kiyoshi's hands felt icy cold, as if they were encircled by a ring.
"Misaka-nee, is there something you've forgotten?"
The paper sliding door to the inner room of the ceremonial office was not closed, and one could see the half-open gate directly across the courtyard.
"Seiji."
Mikoto gritted her teeth and came in from outside.
For some reason, the door was not closed.
Unfortunately, Mikoto, preoccupied with her worries about Fugaku, didn't pay attention to this.
She quickly went to Qing Si and once again urged him to say a few good words to the third generation.
Tell them that Fugaku really wasn't hiding anything.
The words were so sorrowful that they carried a hint of pleading.
"Please sit down."
Kiyoshi pointed to the opposite side of the low table.
So Mikoto had no choice but to sit down, her pretty face and her watery eyes fixed on Kiyoshi.
All of this happened somewhat suddenly.
Kiyoshi quickly became a bridge between the Uchiha clan and the village, and was highly valued by the Third Hokage.
Mikoto initially thought it was good news for the Uchiha clan, as it would allow them to gather information about the village.
Little did he expect that he would need to come here to seek justice.
This made Mikoto a little uncomfortable.
This is a question of superiors and inferiors.
In the past, when she talked to Kiyoshi, she always acted as the older sister, which put her within the scope of an elder.
Kiyoshi was naturally a junior.
Now that the two extremes have reversed, she needs to seek help from Qing Si.
And it was that same difficult request.
She knew that Qing Si was having a hard time, and she felt bad about it.
But when she thought of Fugaku, Mikoto had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.
I was constantly conflicted.
"Sister Mikoto, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is of great importance. You need to know that our clan definitely has spies in the village. They are in the dark, while we are in the light."
Kiyoshi shook his head, looking quite troubled.
He meant it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that it was difficult for him to help.
"Besides, isn't this abandoning our comrades who are still fighting on the front lines? What does Lord Fugaku mean by hiding his strength to those clansmen? Outsiders will also speculate whether the Uchiha are up to something, which will once again make us the target of everyone's criticism."
Qing Si said calmly.
This time, he explained it from the perspective of the Uchiha clan.
"So it still doesn't work?"
Hearing this, Mikoto felt somewhat disappointed.
She had already asked Qing Si an hour ago, and the answer was no.
Now that he knows about Fugaku's situation, he is extremely anxious, but he is only clinging to a sliver of hope.
"In principle, it's not possible."
Seeing that Mikoto's eyes were dim and her body seemed to have all its strength drained away, Kiyoshi finally spoke.
"What...does that mean?"
Mikoto perked up and looked up at Kiyoshi.
It's not allowed in principle?
As we all know, this statement implies that there is still room for maneuver.
"I am willing to do anything, even betray my clan and my villagers, just to help Sister Mikoto."
Kiyoshi's tone suddenly turned somber.
Upon hearing this, Mikoto hesitated to look Tsukasa in the eye.
Isn't she taking advantage of the child a bit too much?
A sense of guilt filled Mikoto's heart.
"Because I said that in the clan, only Sister Mikoto is the best, and back then you and I had the most contact."
As Kiyoshi spoke, his gaze grew increasingly intense.
The prickles stung Mikoto's skin.
She was taken aback; perhaps Kiyoshi had stopped being treated like a child a long time ago.
He just always acted very gentle in front of her.
Kiyoshi... is a man too.
Moreover, what teenage boys think about most is...
"But Mikoto-nee always talks about Lord Fugaku, and I'm really jealous."
"Fugaku is me..."
Mikoto's throat tightened several times, but she ultimately couldn't say anything.
The two have not officially established a relationship yet, and there is no formal status between them.
Seeing Mikoto's bewildered expression, a wicked smile crept onto his lips.
Fugaku's weakness was his lack of aptitude.
Mikoto's gentleness is also her weakness.
This feeling of guilt is suffocating Mikoto.
People with high moral standards are prone to internal strife.
"So, I want Mikoto-nee to grant me a wish."
Kiyoshi spoke, his tone seemingly very sincere.
"Just a hug will do, Mikoto-nee, can I have a hug?"
Kiyoshi opened his arms.
Mikoto's eyelashes trembled slightly, clearly indicating her hesitation.
Her fingertips curled slightly, her palms were damp with cold sweat, and she unconsciously softened her breathing.
She instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words wouldn't come out.
She knew Qing Si's stance, his importance, and his special feelings for her.
But precisely because of this, she felt increasingly at a loss as to how to cope.
"What? Mikoto-nee doesn't want to?"
