Chapter 54: Do You Like My Lap Pillow?

"Sorry, sorry, I... I have something I want to discuss with you," Uchiha Mikoto quickly let go of the young boy's hand, then stole a glance at his reaction with her large, somewhat shy eyes.

'Great...'

'He doesn't seem to mind being touched by me.'

"What is it?"

'Is she planning to ask me about the Mangekyō Sharingan?'

Uchiha Kage didn't think much of Mikoto's overly enthusiastic behavior; he was just considering what rewards he would get after clearing this dungeon.

'No, wait, this time...'

'It can't be like the last dungeon with Kaguya, where after the dungeon ends, Uchiha Mikoto's room would appear too, right?'

'It shouldn't be, right?'

"That, I want to adopt my sister's child, what do you think?"

'Most people probably won't accept a girlfriend who comes with a child, right?', Uchiha Mikoto decided to test the young boy in front of her a bit more.

"This... I think it's good."

'What does this have to do with me? Is it necessary to ask for my opinion?', Uchiha Kage was confused but instinctively nodded in response to Mikoto's question.

If this world isn't a parallel world, then whether or not to adopt this child doesn't matter, since in the future Itachi will kill them anyway.

"Great, that puts my mind at ease."

'Indeed, even something like me raising a child is acceptable to him; if he likes me, it must be sincerely.'

"Great?"

"I mean, I'm glad you can accept this child," Uchiha Mikito shyly turned her head to look at the child sleeping on the grass.

"I will also strive for it, and then...", The young girl had already started fantasizing about rejecting the marriage arranged by her clan and living a beautiful life with Uchiha Kage as a family of three in the future.

"Strive for what?"

'This young mother seems a bit off?'

Uchiha Kage increasingly felt that something was wrong with the kunoichi before him.

"And... that... what do you think?"

'Is he shy? Why is he still playing dumb?'

Uchiha Mikoto had no choice but to change her roundabout approach to a direct one.

"What do I think?"

"My... previous lap pillow...", But at the last moment, she held back a little due to excessive shyness.

"Very comfortable, I liked it a lot!"

The big sister's lap pillow was indeed very comfortable; after returning, Uchiha Kage planned to have Kaguya give him one too.

"Hmm... then, do you want more?"

'Phew...'

After hearing Uchiha Kage's positive response, Mikoto finally felt relieved.

Then, holding back her blushing cheeks, she patted her re-closed thighs towards him.

"Thank you," Uchiha Kage naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing.

There were no enemies around for the time being, so it was time to enjoy.

"It's okay...", Delighted to see the young boy lying back on her lap, Uchiha Mikoto continued to daydream about a beautiful future life.

Then she suddenly remembered that her sister hadn't named the child yet.

"By the way, since you saved this child, why don't you give him a name?"

"No, it's better for you to do it yourself," Uchiha Kage didn't want to have any involvement with this baby to avoid future worries.

"Alright then, I'll name him according to my sister's preferences," After all, it's her sister's child; Uchiha Mikoto thought for a long time before finally coming up with a name that matched her sister's interests.

"Hmm... Itachi, let's call him Itachi, Uchiha Itachi, how about that?"

"Uch... Uchiha Itachi?"

'Are you kidding me?'

Upon hearing this name, Uchiha Kage quickly sat up from Mikoto's lap in surprise.

"Uchiha Itachi? Where is he?", At the same time, Sasuke and Naruto, who had gone out to find food for the child, just returned.

Putting down the ewe he was carrying on his shoulder, Sasuke's face changed dramatically as he activated his Sharingan to observe the surroundings.

Could Uchiha Itachi have also come to this dungeon?

"Wha-what's wrong?", Seeing Sasuke's furious and battle-ready demeanor, both Uchiha Mikoto and Naruto were startled by him.

"Uchiha Itachi... where is he?"

"It-it's the name I gave the child, is there something wrong?"

'This child named Sasuke is so irritable, completely different from Kage...'

Uchiha Mikoto, holding the child, cautiously moved away from Sasuke, who was radiating anger.

"The name you gave, you... he?"

Could it be...

Sasuke quickly realized something and looked with complex eyes at the baby in Mikoto's arms.

Then he tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand.

"He can't be called that name!"

"Why not? What does it have to do with you?", Watching Sasuke step towards her with a kunai, Uchiha Mikoto instinctively stepped back.

"Just no, you must give him another name. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

'This boy is too strange, what does my child's name have to do with him?', Uchiha Mikoto fearfully hid behind Uchiha Kage, but then thinking her strength wasn't inferior to Sasuke's, she stepped out again.

"Otherwise I'll have to kill him here!"

Not hiding his killing intent, Sasuke's kunai was already at the baby's head.

"Ah! You're crazy!", Uchiha Mikoto quickly held the child and stepped back.

"Sasuke, calm down first," Uchiha Kage grabbed Sasuke's wrist.

"Sasuke, what are you doing?", Naruto also hugged Sasuke from behind.

"You understand too, Kage! Don't stop me!", Sasuke's eyes were filled with bloodlust, staring straight at the baby in his mother's arms, like a beast ready to devour its prey.

"Regardless of whether he is or not, even if he is, you can't change everything," Uchiha Kage knew Sasuke's pain and hatred, but even if they killed this baby now.

History might not change.

Because once the dungeon mission fails, they will reset to the very first day.

So even if they kill this child, they can only loop infinitely in this dungeon.

"Of course, if you insist, I won't stop you."

"I will kill him!", Shaking off Naruto behind him, Sasuke charged at Uchiha Mikoto with kunai in both hands.

But the kunoichi in front of him had already shielded the child with her body.

"Although I don't understand what you're saying, this child has barely survived, if you want to kill, kill me first."

"Mom!", Overwhelmed by emotion, Sasuke once again called the young Uchiha Mikoto in front of him "Mom."

"Kage... your companion must be crazy."

"Don't worry, he won't hurt anyone, especially not you," Looking at the kunoichi hiding behind him, Uchiha Kage had no choice but to protect her first.

With Uchiha Mikoto's protection, Sasuke couldn't harm the baby Itachi in her arms.

However, even Uchiha Kage didn't expect that the baby they had to save would turn out to be the future Uchiha Itachi.

'What a huge joke by fate.'

"So, what exactly happened? Can you explain clearly?", Naruto also didn't understand why Sasuke suddenly wanted to kill a child for no reason.

And Kage beside him seemed to know the reason, leaving him the only one clueless.

"It's like this, actually Sasuke he..."

At this point, whether for Sasuke's sake or Uchiha Mikoto's, Uchiha Kage had to tell the truth.

.

.

.

"Wh, what?", Naruto could hardly believe his ears.

"This big sister is Sasuke's mother? And this child is his brother Uchiha Itachi, who will annihilate the entire Uchiha clan in the future?"

'N-no wonder Sasuke reacted so strongly just now...'

"No, it can't be, right?"

Whether it's the fact that Uchiha Kage and the others are from the future, or that the baby in her arms will become the great demon who annihilates the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't believe it.

"That's the fact, so, now give the child to me, Mom," Sasuke still couldn't suppress his killing intent, even though he understood that killing this child might not affect history, he had to try.

"No, you can't!"
