Chapter 132 The Persistent Muto Saika
In fact, she had a premonition long ago, but she just didn't want to face it.
Whether Fugaku Uchiha never went home, was busy networking with his clan members and befriending Jonin, or was preoccupied with how to elevate the clan's status and strive for the future Hokage position, she could tolerate it.
She could even endure the cold, desolate nights.
But when the other party ignored her objections and brought Itachi to the battlefield, she couldn't stand it anymore.
When she learned that the second front had fallen, Itachi had disappeared, and the other side was rushing to continue investing in Orochimaru, she finally despaired.
Fugaku Uchiha was no longer her husband, or rather, from the very beginning, the person she married was never a husband; he was merely the head of the Uchiha clan, always had been.
He staggered outwards.
As he walked, his legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees before even reaching the door.
Orochimaru frowned, and was about to have someone help him up when there was a voice at the door.
"Lord Orochimaru, the special Jonin Shingetsu Seiun has something to report."
An excessively handsome face flashed through his mind, and Orochimaru casually said, "Let him in."
"Someone, help Mikoto Jonin back."
Before anyone could help Uchiha Mikoto up, someone walked in through the entrance of the tent. Immediately afterward, Shingetsu Seiun's exclamation rang out.
"Mikoto-sensei!"
"What's wrong with you!?"
Shingetsu Seiun was startled. As soon as he entered the room, he found Uchiha Mikoto kneeling in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward, supporting the other person's elbows, where the armor was thicker, and gently lifted the person up.
"Mommy!" A small figure rushed up after Shenyue Xingyun.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes glazed over for a moment.
Her first thought was that she was hallucinating.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Itachi Uchiha's little face was full of worry.
Mikoto Uchiha finally woke up.
Her eyes quickly fell on Uchiha Itachi, and then she couldn't take her eyes off him!
"Itachi!"
She squatted down and hugged her son tightly in her arms.
"Itachi!" she murmured, afraid that everything before her was just her imagination.
Hearing Itachi Uchiha's voice in his ear and feeling the real life force, he was overwhelmed with the joy of regaining what he had lost.
Seeing this, the many Jonin and Orochimaru present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the boy standing there, seemingly radiating light, Orochimaru nodded slightly.
"Did you find it?"
Shenyue Xingyun replied, "Our squad discovered it during the retreat with the main force."
"Very good," Orochimaru said. "To be able to rescue someone in the midst of chaos is quite impressive."
He looked at Shenyue Xingyun, recalling the other's exceptional swordsmanship, and his gaze revealed admiration.
After thinking for a moment, he formed a hand seal and then pressed it on the table in front of him.
"Bang!" A puff of smoke dissipated, and a classically designed longsword appeared before us.
He picked up the longsword and came to Shenyue Xingyun.
"It's not appropriate to convert it into military merit, so consider it my personal reward for you."

Shenyue Xingyun quickly considered the matter and then did not refuse.
"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."
He drew his longsword, its cold gleam evident; it was clearly no ordinary weapon. Indeed, how could Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, offer a reward that was anything but commonplace? Thinking of his own longsword, already riddled with nicks, Orochimaru's reward was quite fitting.
As he sheathed his sword and was contemplating whether he should take his leave, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly embraced him.
"Thank you."
"Nebula, thank you."
Shingetsu Seiun was momentarily at a loss. He hurriedly said, "Mikoto-sensei, this is what I should do."
Mikoto Uchiha didn't say anything. She gently released her hand, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and turned to look at Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, I have a request."
Orochimaru: "It's not a request, Jonin Mikoto. What's the matter?"
Mikoto Uchiha said, "The situation on the Northwest front is settled. I want the Nebula Squad to send Itachi back."
Orochimaru thought for a moment.
Although he had a high opinion of Shingetsu Seiun and was even considering getting to know him and training him, he was well aware of the relative importance of Shingetsu Seiun compared to Uchiha Mikoto, who was just a special Jonin.
Only by sending Itachi Uchiha back can Mikoto Uchiha focus on her work on the front lines.
Orochimaru said, "Alright."
"In that case, the Shingetsu Nebula Squad will take Uchiha Itachi and the genin who will be rotating this time back to the village."
Mikoto Uchiha said, "Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."
Leaving the main tent, Uchiha Mikoto, along with Uchiha Itachi and Kamizuki Seiun, returned to the latter's camp. Upon seeing Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, they were met with another round of gratitude and emotion, leaving the two at a loss for words.
After a short while, once Mikoto Uchiha had calmed down a bit, she brought up the matter of having the team escort Itachi Uchiha back to the village.
"Nebula, Red, and Asuma."
"I'll have to ask you to take care of Itachi for a while longer."
"Also, no matter who comes looking for Itachi, even if they are from the Uchiha clan, we cannot let them take Itachi away."
Sarutobi Asuma patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Misaka-sensei."
"Leave it to us."
"Kanako, what have you thought about what I said?"
"Are you going to say yes or no?"
"You're dawdling on and on, it's driving me crazy!"
In the Konoha troop heading to the northwestern border for troop rotation, a strikingly beautiful girl, who attracted the frequent glances of the newly graduated genin, was currently whispering in another girl's ear.
Kanako covered her ears, trying not to hear, but it was no use. The sound beside her would ring out precisely the moment she removed her hands from her ears.
"Caixiang, please."
"Please, I'm begging you, can you just let me have some peace and quiet?"
Muto Saika said, looking aggrieved, "But you haven't answered my question yet."
"I'll think about it!" Kanako emphasized. "Didn't you understand what I meant by 'I'll think about it'?"
Muto Saika said, "But we're almost there."
When will you make up your mind?
"How about—" Mutou Saika's gaze shifted, "when we get here, I'll take that as a yes?"
Kanako slapped her forehead.
"You've really defeated me."
Since returning to the village after her rotation, Kanako hasn't had a single day of peace.
Muto Saika, a pretty girl with many fans at school, becomes her tagalong, finding opportunities to follow her around every day, scheming to persuade her to listen to her advice and carry out the "fighting side by side" plan!
Kanako initially disagreed, of course! She righteously and firmly rejected the other party.
However, this girl, Muto Saika, somehow learned a trick and started visiting and researching information.
The other party spent several days and put in a lot of effort to collect a thick stack of information about the Divine Moon Nebula, which they then presented to her, intending to persuade her with great seriousness.
"Take a look!"
"You'll regret it if you don't take this seriously!"
