Chapter 53: Jealous Sasuke

Carrying Naruto on one shoulder and Sasuke on the other, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

"Really, the mission is completed, why haven't we exited the instance yet..."

It's a miracle that he could last until now with his chakra almost completely depleted.

The burden of the Mangekyō Sharingan... is still too much.

"Kage?"

Uchiha Mikoto, holding the child, quickly placed the child on the ground, then pushed Naruto and Sasuke, who were lying on Uchiha Kage, aside, and helped the fallen Uchiha Kage up.

"Are you okay?"

After hurriedly checking the other's breathing, Uchiha Mikoto finally felt relieved.

"I'm fine... just... please don't tell anyone about my Mangekyō Sharingan."

'It's even better not to tell anyone about meeting me..'

Unlike Sasuke, Uchiha Kage, who has fully experienced Kaguya, knows that the Uchiha Mikoto in front of him is most likely the real Uchiha Mikoto.

After saying this last sentence, Uchiha Kage tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.

"Yes! I will definitely not tell anyone..."

Looking at the young man who fell asleep on her shoulder, Uchiha Mikoto's voice became softer and softer.

'Don't tell anyone about his Mangekyō...'

'Is he guarding against someone in the clan, or someone in Konoha?'

'But it's also true, although it's a good thing for the Uchiha clan to have such a talented young man, it's not necessarily all good.'

'To have the Mangekyō Sharingan at such a young age, with the increasingly restless atmosphere in the clan...'

Uchiha Mikoto shook her head, no longer thinking about such complicated matters.

Now, she just needs to take care of this young man... ahem, and her sister's child and the other two young men.

"Really, even if you have confidence, you're too reckless, aren't you?", Gently placing the young man's head on her lap, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but stroke his slightly furrowed brows in his sleep.

'What a handsome young man, I wonder what kind of girl he would like?'

'No, wait...'

'Asking me to keep it a secret means he has been keeping a low profile within the clan, and now he's willing to expose the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan for me, could it be that he actually has feelings for me...'

'No, I can't be overly conscious this time, I'll just... subtly ask him when he wakes up.'

'By the way, if he really does have feelings for me...'

'It's not impossible...'

'He's so young in the clan, and a genius who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, as long as I privately tell the elders, I might be able to make a move,' Not knowing what she was thinking, Uchiha Mikoto's already red face became even more flushed.

.

.

.

'The fragrance of grass, and a very pleasant... scent of a woman?'

'Moreover, my head feels like it's resting on a soft cotton cloud, so comfortable that I don't want to get up.'

However, Uchiha Kage was awakened by the sound of a baby crying.

He had no choice but to open his eyes.

"Uh..."

"You're awake?"

What met his eyes was a pair of heavy persimmons, completely obscuring the woman's face.

"Where am I..."

Just opening his eyes, Uchiha Kage could only see the moist and affectionate eyes looking down at him through the gap between the two lumps of flesh.

But just by the voice, he could tell who the owner of these big persimmons was...

Uchiha Mikoto.

At this moment, she was kneeling on the grass with her legs to the side, holding his head and gently letting him enjoy her lap pillow.

"You've been asleep for a whole day, we were all worried to death," The female ninja gently held the back of Uchiha Kage's head, helping him sit up from her lap.

At the same time, she let her numb and senseless long legs rest for a while.

"A mere overconsumption of chakra can't kill an Uchiha, only you would worry about him,".Uchiha Kage slightly turned his head and saw Uchiha Sasuke, who was looking at him with a proud yet very conflicted expression.

'It seems that enjoying Mikoto's lap pillow made him quite unhappy.'

"What should I do? The child was fine just now, why is he crying so much now... hush, don't cry...", Naruto, not far away, took on the responsibility of looking after the child.

But the baby in his arms completely ignored his comforting grimaces and just kept crying.

"Maybe he's hungry?"

'I've been asleep for a whole day?'

'Wait, aren't we in the dream space? Can you even sleep here?'

Uchiha Kage looked around at the forest, then at the child in Naruto's arms.

The mission reminder for the instance very timely popped up in his mind.

[Mission: Safely deliver the child back to the Konoha camp]

'There's no stage prefix this time... it seems this should be the final mission.'

"Hungry?", Uchiha Mikoto took the child from Naruto's arms.

As if sensing a familiar maternal scent, the child in her arms quickly stopped crying and instinctively started tugging at her front.

However, not to mention that Uchiha Mikoto's ample bosom contained no drinkable juice, even if it did, she was still wearing thick ninja armor, and the baby's little hands couldn't possibly tug it open.

"What... what should we do?"

Indeed, the child was rescued, but where could they find milk to feed him?

Uchiha Mikoto instinctively looked to Uchiha Kage beside her with a pleading gaze.

"Let's find some animal milk to feed him, there should be nursing beasts in this forest."

"Can animal milk work?", Naruto scratched his head.

"There's no other way, let's do as he says," Sasuke wasn't keen on children, he just wanted to complete the mission.

And to find out if this Uchiha Mikoto could really be... real.

"Then I'll leave it to you two," Uchiha Mikoto requested Naruto and Sasuke, then helped the just-awakened Uchiha Kage to sit under a big tree.

She had to take care of Uchiha Kage, the injured, and the child, so finding animal milk for the child had to be left to the others.

"Alright! Leave it to me!", Naruto was immediately full of energy.

But Sasuke on the side was a bit...

Seeing his 'young mother' taking care of his friend like a little wife, the veins at the corners of his eyes and on his face couldn't stop twitching.

Especially when he saw Uchiha Mikoto not only straightening out the other's wrinkled collar, but also hand-feeding him and wiping his sweat with a handkerchief...

'Is it necessary to take care of him so meticulously?'

'Kage's hands aren't injured.'

Sasuke's heart was quite conflicted now, but emotionally and logically, he couldn't bring himself to stop Uchiha Mikoto's behavior.

"What's wrong, Sasuke?", Naruto nudged Sasuke's shoulder with his arm, and upon seeing the other's gaze fixed on Uchiha Mikoto, his face immediately showed a hehehe smile.

"That's nice, I also want to be fed by a big sister, if only I were injured too, wait, Sasuke..."

'Hmph, I thought Sasuke was the type who wasn't interested in women, but it turns out he likes the big sister type.'

No wonder he's always so indifferent to Sakura's attentions.

"Could it be that you're jealous?"

"I am not!"

"Getting anxious, so you really do like big sisters?"

"Shut up!", Sasuke couldn't explain anything to an idiot like Naruto, so he could only drag the other into the forest with a belly full of resentment.

'Let's finish this instance quickly, if mother really has feelings for Kage...'

Shaking his head vigorously, Sasuke suppressed the thought that was enough to horrify him.

'This absolutely cannot be!'

.

.

.

'Alright, the troublesome people are gone.'

'The baby is also coaxed to sleep.'

Uchiha Mikoto felt that now she could finally have a good chat with the Uchiha youth beside her.

"Are, are you feeling okay?"

But when she opened her mouth, she was still a bit shy.

And ever since she found out about Uchiha Kage's strength, Uchiha Mikoto felt that she couldn't look at him as calmly as before.

This was the first time she had seen such a strong, yet mysterious man.

And he was from the same clan.

'However, this genius youth, always hiding within the clan, what is he aiming for?'

'It must be for a very great goal.'

'But this time, he didn't hesitate to expose himself to help me, could it affect his future plans?', Thinking of this, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

One is the worry that she might harm him, and the other is the worry that he might dislike her because of this.

"I'm fine."

After eating some ninja rations, Uchiha Kage regained quite a bit of strength.

At least standing up wasn't difficult anymore.

'Just—'

'Why is this female ninja holding my hand?'

'Although it's quite comfortable to be held by this soft and tender hand, what if Sasuke sees...'

'Well, Sasuke's not here, so it's fine.'
