Naruto entry

He had just finished his mission when he unexpectedly ran into Sasuke, who was on his way to find Naruto.

Sasuke asked Itachi to stay with him.

Itachi said he needed to go home and put his things away first, which led to the scene we see now.

However, Itachi's words came to an abrupt halt the moment he saw his mother's profile.

He saw the crimson in his mother's eyes, and the strange kaleidoscope pattern.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan?!

He stopped abruptly.

How can it be?

Mother... actually possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan?

In Itachi's mind, the Mangekyou Sharingan is a symbol of the power and curse of the Uchiha clan, a forbidden power that can only be unlocked after experiencing extreme pain and loss.

Even Shisui's awakening of his eyes was a process filled with immense suffering.

Could it be that my mother, who always has a gentle smile, also has a kaleidoscope?

When did she turn it on?

Does Father know?

Does the village know?

Countless questions flooded Itachi's mind like a tidal wave.

Mikoto seemed to have been awakened by the sound of the door opening.

She snapped back to her senses, and the eerie scarlet and kaleidoscope patterns in her eyes receded as quickly as the tide, restoring her usual gentle demeanor.

She turned her head, forcing a gentle smile, as always, onto her face:

"Ah, Itachi and Sasuke are back. Are you hungry?"

Her tone was natural, as if the strange moment just now had never happened.

"No, no need, Mother."

Itachi suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried to keep his voice steady.

"Sasuke and I aren't hungry yet. Are you... alright?"

He finally couldn't resist and asked, with a hint of probing.

"I'm fine, just a little tired. You guys go wash your hands first."

She stood up, turned, and walked towards the kitchen.

Itachi watched his mother's retreating figure, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the ultimate expression of the Sharingan's power...

If both his mother and father have kaleidoscopes, why hasn't he opened his eyes yet?

What abilities did he inherit from his father?

…………

Fugaku Uchiha put down the scroll in his hand and rubbed his temples.

As the captain of the Konoha Police Department, he has a lot of things to deal with.

At that moment, a clansman came in to report that Mikoto had sparred with the new clansman, Uchiha Hikaru, earlier that day.

Fugaku paused.

Mikoto...is sparring with the new clansmen?

"Was it Kiyoshi who shouted that?"

Fugaku seemed to have thought of something and asked the clansman.

"Lord Fugaku, I don't know about that."

The tribesman shook his head.

Seeing this, Fugaku thought for a moment and decided that perhaps he could try to learn about Uchiha Hikaru through Mikoto.

After all, he was a new member of the clan, and as the clan leader, he didn't know much about him.

Of course, more importantly, Fugaku wanted to spend more time with Mikoto.

When he arrived at Mikoto's house, a slight nervousness stirred within him. He straightened his clothes and knocked on the door.

The door was opened, and Mikoto appeared in the doorway.

She asked politely but distantly:

"Clan Chief Fugaku? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Her title was "Chief of the Fugaku Clan".

Long ago, she was more casually referred to as "Fugaku-kun".

This sense of distance made Fugaku's heart sink slightly.

"I heard you know Uchiha Hikaru. I'd like to know more about her, since she's a new member of the clan and needs to be properly taken care of."

Fugaku tried his best to make his tone sound businesslike.

Mikoto's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She didn't want to talk about Uchiha Hikaru any further.

"I'm not very familiar with her. For the specifics, it would be better for Clan Chief Fugaku to ask Kiyoshi. He's the one who brought her back, so he knows best."

Mikoto's voice was gentle, but she didn't even seem to invite Fugaku into the house.

Fugaku felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked into her distant eyes and heard her casually mention Kiyoshi.

He remained silent for a moment, trying to find a trace of the past on Mikoto's face, but all he saw was a barrier of politeness.

"I understand."

Fugaku finally nodded, his voice a little hoarse, and continued:

"excuse me."

Click.

Mikoto closed the door.

As the door closed, Fugaku felt as if he had been struck in the chest.

He turned and left, his silhouette appearing somewhat forlorn on the cobblestone streets of Uchihachi.

……

Kiyoshi, having brought Uchiha Hikari back to Konoha, sent her back first before heading to Mikoto's house.

He hadn't forgotten Mikoto's slightly dangerous gaze.

"You...you're back."

When Mikoto heard the knocking, she assumed it was Fugaku returning, so she put on a stern face.

But to their surprise, the person knocking on the door this time was Kiyoshi.

For a moment, she didn't know what expression to make.

"Why, you don't welcome me?"

Kiyoshi stepped forward, getting closer to Mikoto.

Mikoto had changed out of her ninja attire and was now dressed in casual clothes, her curvaceous figure barely concealed.

"No."

Mikoto shook her head.

As she spoke, her rosy lips parted slightly.

You can see the pink tongue and white teeth inside.

As they spoke, a puff of steam rose from the air.

That's because of the cold weather; it makes you sound like that whenever you speak.

The weather today is much colder than usual.

However, Kiyoshi knew where it was warm.

Kiyoshi stepped forward and gently patted Mikoto's buttocks.

"Um……"

Caught off guard, Mikoto made a sound.

"What are you doing...?"

Mikoto's cheeks flushed red, and she could no longer maintain her slightly indifferent expression.

"It's good that your clansman is so powerful and has returned to the Uchiha clan. Don't overthink it."

Kiyoshi then put his arm around Mikoto's slender waist.

Do you know what her eye technique is?

Qingsi spoke.

"Release the black flames."

Mikoto said.

She vaguely heard something called "Amaterasu".

"This is just a type of eye technique; her own eye technique is 'Eight Thousand Spears.'"

Then Kiyoshi began to explain to Mikoto what the "Eight Thousand Spears" were.

The "Eight Thousand Spears" technique can implant a special mark that, once implanted, can control the recipient's mind and chakra.

This is similar to "Kotoamatsukami," but the difference is that "Kotoamatsukami" is a permanent change, while the mark left by "Yasen-no-Hō" is not permanent and can be removed under certain circumstances.

For example, Naruto, who was under control, was awakened by Sasuke's talk-no-jutsu.

But the key point is that her Mangekyou Sharingan can also transplant other Uchiha's eye techniques, which seems to be a kind of "imprint".

"A kaleidoscope eye technique with such power?"

Mikoto said in surprise.

Isn't this kind of ability a bit too unrestricted?

She recalled the details of her battle with Uchiha Hikaru and realized that Uchiha Hikaru was indeed not very good at taijutsu.

It's probably because the kaleidoscope's power is too great; in the past, the kaleidoscope was enough to handle most battles.

“That’s right, that’s why I let Hikaru return to the Uchiha clan.”

Qingsi nodded.

No one with a brain would allow such a fighting force to be left out in the open.

Upon hearing Kiyoshi's answer, Mikoto couldn't help but wonder if she was really overthinking things.

"Sister Mikoto, what's wrong with you?"

Kiyoshi noticed that Mikoto was somewhat distracted.

"there is nothing."

Mikoto shook her head repeatedly.

"Oh right, Sasuke keeps asking for a summoning beast."

Mikoto said to Kiyoshi.

"I'll take Sasuke to Mount Myōboku in a few days."

Kiyoshi said.

With his arm around Mikoto, Kiyoshi's gaze fell on her neckline.
