Uchiha Mikoto continued to hide behind Uchiha Kage, "Kage, tell me, it's not like this… actually, it was all a joke just now, right?"
Finally, there's a boy who made her heart flutter, but he turns out to be from the future, and about the same age as her son?
How can the young girl Mikoto, who is just beginning to understand love, bear this?
"Hmm, it could also be a parallel world, everything I said just now might not happen in your world," Although he said so, Uchiha Kage felt that the probability of this possibility was not very high.
But it was just a feeling.
"Is that so…"
'Parallel world, that's just too… unbelievable.'
Uchiha Mikoto was somewhat skeptical.
"No matter which world it is, Uchiha Itachi deserves to die!", But Sasuke was still shouting.
"Then can you really bring yourself to do it?", Uchiha Kage took the child from Mikoto's arms and handed it to Sasuke.
"I…", Although it was like holding a hot potato, Sasuke still carefully held the child.
He raised the kunai in his hand again, but after a long time, the sharp blade of the kunai still did not stab towards the child in his arms.
Recalling the bits and pieces of time spent with his brother, recalling the brother who once loved him so much, and looking at the innocent baby in his arms, Sasuke, whose heart was not yet shrouded in darkness, really couldn't bring himself to do it.
But he quickly remembered the scene of Uchiha Itachi killing his parents and his clansmen with his own hands…
Hatred and love were wildly intertwined in his mind.
"Ah!!!!", In the end, unable to make a choice, Sasuke forcefully threw the baby in his arms back to Uchiha Kage, then shouted and rushed into the depths of the forest.
———
"Sasuke," Uchiha Kage found Sasuke alone in the forest with his Byakugan.
"I know, even if we kill him, we will just reset to the first day, because of this damn mission!", At this time, Sasuke was obviously much calmer.
"But, I never thought I would be so weak, I can't even bring myself to kill him."
"This is not weakness, but love," No matter what, Uchiha Kage did not want to see Sasuke fall into darkness like in the original story.
This second pillar really needs proper guidance, not like Itachi who irresponsibly gave him hatred.
"Love?"
"Hmm, you should understand, the brotherly love Itachi had for you before was not fake, it's just that he later gave up that love, are you going to learn from him and give up on these too?"
"Of course I won't learn from him… but I will definitely kill him!"
"Revenge is not about denying everything from the past, and it's precisely because the baby is innocent now that you can't bring yourself to do it."
"Maybe… maybe," Sasuke turned his face away somewhat tsundere.
He really couldn't bring himself to harm the baby.
"But, you're right, I want to fairly defeat the real him, and only want to kill the real him, not harm a baby, just…"
'What about mother?
'
'If this copy is a real world, doesn't that mean mother will still go down the path of being killed by the future Uchiha Itachi?'
"Don't worry, I… we have already told her all this, she should be on guard."
If this mission ends the same as the last one, Uchiha Kage felt that he might be able to see Uchiha Mikoto again.
At that time, he should be able to personally protect her.
"That's the only way."
Even if not, they couldn't change the future.
This was the first time Sasuke didn't want to complete the mission in the copy.
But as things stood, he could only comply.
"Thank you, Kage."
"No, I…"
"Thank you for protecting my mother before, and…", Although he didn't know how Uchiha Kage and his mother saved the child and him and Naruto, but thinking of how Uchiha Kage was injured and unconscious before, Sasuke thought that the other must have suffered a lot.
"My Sharingan has evolved to the highest level, from now on you just obediently let me protect you," Sasuke opened his eyes, the two tomoe Sharingan inside had evolved into three tomoe.
"…"
'Only three tomoe, where is that high level?'
Uchiha Kage really wanted to say this, but looking at Sasuke's confident appearance, he couldn't bear to pour cold water on him.
However, seeing Sasuke return to normal, Uchiha Mikoto and Naruto, who were hiding behind a big tree watching all this, also showed a relaxed smile.
Especially Uchiha Mikoto.
Indeed…
Not just in terms of strength, but in other matters, Kage is also very reliable.
She found herself increasingly feeling a sense of heart flutter.
.
.
.
"Are you really from the future?"
After resolving the issues in Sasuke's heart, the journey of the group heading to the Konoha base finally became more relaxed.
Along the way, Uchiha Mikoto kept secretly asking Uchiha Kage about the future.
However, for some reason, although she knew Sasuke was her child, Uchiha Mikoto seemed to avoid Sasuke even more than before.
And Sasuke also felt too embarrassed to face this overly young mother.
The two were clearly mother and son, but they did not communicate anymore.
Instead, Uchiha Kage was constantly harassed by Uchiha Mikoto during this time.
Of course, he didn't dislike this big sister who often held his hand and gave him lap pillows.
"It's most likely the case."
'If there are no parallel worlds.'
"Then in your time, do you have… a girlfriend?"
Even though she knew this boy might not be from her time, Uchiha Mikoto still stubbornly didn't want to give up.
"Not yet."
'Just a few NPC kunoichi accompanying him every night and a wife from ancient times,' Uchiha Kage expressed that he was an honest good child.
"Then you…", Although she had already subtly asked Uchiha Kage many times during this period, every time she heard this reply, Uchiha Mikoto still felt happy.
"Ahead, that's the Konoha camp, I can see the Konoha village symbol and their tents," Seemingly unable to bear his mother's close behavior towards Uchiha Kage along the way, Sasuke deliberately raised his voice.
"Yes, we're finally here,"
Compared to the relief and relaxation of seeing the tents felt by Naruto and Sasuke, Uchiha Mikoto only felt that the time on this journey passed too quickly.
"You all…", Just as Uchiha Mikoto was about to invite Uchiha Kage and the others to Konoha, she suddenly saw a soft white light emanating from the three of them.
And their figures were gradually disappearing.
"Are you going back?"
"It seems so."
Sasuke looked reluctantly at the mother in front of him, but soon stopped lingering.
This is not the real mother, his mother has already…
"Damn! We've been in this copy for so long, won't many days have passed in reality? Will we miss the Chunin Exams?", Naruto just remembered that he had spent a long time in this dream-like copy, and couldn't help but worry about reality.
"It's okay, I think the time flow here is different from reality."
Back in the Kaguya script, Uchiha Kage had already considered this issue, and the conclusion was that no matter how long they stayed here, at most only one night would pass in reality.
"Wait!"
Seeing Naruto and Sasuke disappear, Uchiha Mikoto could no longer hold back and grabbed Uchiha Kage, who had not completely disappeared.
"Kage, do you really have feelings for me…",.Recalling the time they spent together along the way, Uchiha Mikoto was very unwilling to end the encounter with the other like this.
"You?", Only then did Uchiha Kage understand why Uchiha Mikoto had been so close to him during this time.
But what kind of thing is this, when did he…
Well, enjoying lap pillows does come with a price.
"Even just a little bit is fine…"
They were about to part, and Uchiha Mikoto could no longer care about a girl's reserve, she just wanted an answer that could set her heart at ease.
"If you weren't Sasuke's…"
"Then there is!"
Hearing this reply, the kunoichi's eyes instantly brightened, great, she was not just wishfully thinking.
"Hmm."
Seeing the girl in front of him completely open her heart, Uchiha Kage could only nod.
"Then can you call my name one last time, don't use 'you' or sister."
It seems Uchiha Mikoto doesn't like being called sister by someone she likes.
"Mikoto, I…"
"Enough, no need to say more, I don't believe in parallel worlds, nor do I believe in the future you speak of…"
The satisfied girl suddenly leaned in, then stood on tiptoe and attacked by planting a deep kiss on Uchiha Kage's forehead.
"But, I'll wait for you in the future."
