Chapter 47: Death of Uchiha Miyu

"Hmm...", Taking a deep breath, Sasuke finally managed to regain a bit of his composure.

Although she was indeed still alive at the time of the Third Great Ninja War, but...

Before meeting this kunoichi, Sasuke had never imagined that he would see... the woman he most wanted to see in such a place, in this dream scenario.

Yes, if his guess was correct, this kunoichi who saved them was his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, who had already passed away in reality.

"We should be safe here," Uchiha Mikoto led Uchiha Kage and the other two cautiously out of the logistics camp of the Kumogakure army and arrived in front of a hidden cave.

"Sister Miyu, I'm back!"

It seems this place is not just for her.

Uchiha Kage used the Byakugan to look inside the cave and indeed found another ninja.

However, the other party's condition doesn't seem too good...

"Sister Miyu?"

As soon as she entered the cave, Uchiha Mikoto saw her companion lying in a pool of blood.

"How are you?", With an anxious expression, she ran over to help the other party up and frantically searched through her ninja tool bag for medical supplies.

But before she could take out the bandages, a pair of hands emitting a soft blue light had already covered the blood-stained wound.

"It's you? Great, you know medical ninjutsu," The one helping Uchiha Mikoto treat the kunoichi in her arms was naturally Uchiha Kage.

"Only a little," Uchiha Kage, with a serious expression, released the Mystical Palm Technique on the almost hopeless wound while explaining to Naruto and Sasuke behind him.

"This is also a ninjutsu I saw on a scroll,".He attributed the previous Hidden Mist Technique and the current Mystical Palm Technique to Zabuza's corpse, saying he scavenged them from Zabuza and Haku's bodies.

However, in reality, the bit of Mystical Palm Technique he knew was actually learned from... Senju Tobirama, because he had seen it too many times and copied it.

"Only you would learn these non-offensive ninjutsu," Sasuke also knew that Uchiha Kage's interest was learning ninjutsu, and almost all the ninjutsu scrolls left by the Uchiha clan had been studied by him.

"Child... my child... Mikoto...", After slightly regaining some spirit, the kunoichi called Miyu by Uchiha Mikoto struggled to get up.

But the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to look for her child.

"What happened after I left? Why isn't the child here?"

Uchiha Mikoto also searched around.

"It's them, it's the Kumogakure ninjas who took my child... Mikoto, you... cough... please..."

The large hole in the kunoichi's chest and abdomen was still gushing blood, and her voice was as faint as a thread.

But even so, she used all her strength to tightly grasp Uchiha Mikoto's hands.

"Sister Miyu!"

Seeing the kunoichi in her arms as pale as gold paper, Uchiha Mikoto also realized something was wrong.

Then she quickly looked at the boy still performing the Mystical Palm Technique.

"How is she... really?"

"No, her internal organs are pierced, and the other wounds on her body are also very deep. It's a miracle she's lasted this long," Looking at the kunoichi who was no longer breathing, Uchiha Kage shook his head and then stopped his not very effective Mystical Palm Technique.

"How could... sister!"

Seemingly unable to believe that her sister had just died, Uchiha Mikoto hugged the rapidly cooling body in her arms even tighter.

"Mom, who is she?"

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto crying so sadly, Sasuke momentarily lost his composure and habitually called out "Mom."

He was indeed a bit curious about who this person called sister by his mother was, as he had no memory of such a relative.

"Mom... mom? Are you... calling me?", Seeing there were still three boys around, Uchiha Mikoto quickly wiped the tears from her face, forcing herself to be strong.

But being suddenly called mom, she was a bit stunned, as she was only under twenty.

'Do I look that old?'

"Don't mind him, my companion just has a strange habit of calling beautiful girls mom subconsciously," Uchiha Kage helped the flustered Sasuke explain while organizing the information he had just heard.

Uchiha Mikoto's sister, and... an Uchiha child kidnapped by Kumogakure?

Kumogakure is really good at kidnapping children.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that!", Sasuke quickly retorted loudly.

But for the moment, he really didn't know how to explain to this young mother.

"Anyway, we still don't know your sister's name?", After helping to bury the kunoichi's body, Uchiha Kage remembered that they hadn't asked Uchiha Mikoto's name yet.

Speaking of which, even if the face matches, there's still a slight possibility that she might not be Uchiha Mikoto.

"My name is Mikoto, probably a few years older than you, and that... was my sister Miyu," Uchiha Mikoto introduced herself while showing a sad expression again.

Originally, she and her sister were safely staying in the logistics team of the Konoha ninja army, but unexpectedly, the camp was attacked by Kumogakure ninjas, causing them to be separated from the main force.

During this process, her sister was also seriously injured, so she had to place her sister in this hidden cave and went alone to find traces of the Konoha main force. Later, she coincidentally met the captured Uchiha Kage and the other two on the way, but she didn't expect that after she saved them and returned, her sister was attacked again by Kumogakure ninjas...

"It should be the smell of blood from the wound that attracted the Kumogakure people," Uchiha Kage sniffed the surrounding air.

For ninjas with keen senses, it's not difficult to find this place by smell.

Perhaps there's still some blood left by Uchiha Mikoto's sister nearby.

Possibly, if Uchiha Mikoto hadn't left here earlier, she might have ended up like her sister...

"But, what about the child?"

Sasuke had never heard of such a relative.

'Could it be that they had already... in the war?'

'No, it's not certain that everything in this scenario is real.'

"Yeah, why would Kumogakure even take a child?", Naruto, who was beside him, was also curious.

"The child was an accident, so... my sister had no choice but to keep the child with her."

Unmarried pregnancy, even in the relatively open-minded Uchiha, would be looked down upon.

It's all because of this damn war, and if Konoha wasn't short on manpower, her sister wouldn't have appeared here, even in the relatively safe logistics area.

"As for Kumogakure kidnapping the child, it's mostly for our Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai."

"Kekkei Genkai, is it like the red-eye disease?"

"Hmm..."

'Red-eye disease?'

Naruto's abstract yet straightforward answer made the grieving Uchiha Mikoto laugh a little.

But soon, she frowned again.

These three boys... seem to still be genin, although they were fortunately rescued, they will probably still inevitably become cannon fodder in this Great Ninja War.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Mikoto's mood became heavy.

Even the confusion about the other two boys who were clearly from the Uchiha clan but she had no impression of them faded a lot.

"Let's part ways here, you must have your mission, and I have my things to do!"
