However, thankfully, she was still very confident in her Ninjutsu.
Her modified Genjutsu, the Temple of Nirvana Technique, was not very effective against people stronger than her or those with strong resistance to Genjutsu, but she believed she was still much stronger than Uchiha In, and putting Uchiha In into a deep sleep should not be a problem.
In that case, Uchiha In's turn was clearly just a subconscious reaction.
After confirming this again, Uchiha Mikoto also breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and thought to herself that she had scared herself.
After confirming that Uchiha In was sound asleep, Uchiha Mikoto was no longer nervous and carefully looked at Uchiha In.
His clean, fair face showed distinct, cold handsomeness; his dark, deep eyes held a captivating luster; his thick brows, high nose, and beautiful lips all exuded nobility and elegance.
"I didn't expect this mischievous little brat to grow up quite handsome."
Uchiha Mikoto said softly.
"Is that so? Then thank you for the compliment."
Just then, Uchiha In opened his eyes and said to Uchiha Mikoto.
"Ah!!!!!"
Instantly, Uchiha Mikoto let out an incredibly sharp scream, her face instantly turning crimson.
"You, why are you still awake?"
"Why am I still awake? Shouldn't you be the one to explain?"
Uchiha In said with a mischievous smile.
A mischievous thought suddenly flashed through his mind; he wanted to scare Uchiha Mikoto.
Now it seemed the effect was quite good, except Uchiha Mikoto's scream seemed too loud, making Uchiha In's ears ache.
It was fortunate that their house had good soundproofing, otherwise, it would probably have disturbed the neighbors.
Uchiha In's question instantly left Uchiha Mikoto speechless; she had come over entirely because of the System's mission requirements, but what should she say now?
Uchiha Mikoto did not want to expose her System, so she had to come up with a more reasonable excuse.
Uchiha Mikoto, who was not good at deceiving, racked her brain for an excuse, stammering and darting her eyes left and right, which Uchiha In found particularly adorable.
"I say, Mikoto-nee, you haven't fallen for me, have you?"
Uchiha In said playfully.
As the saying goes, things turn into their opposite when they reach an extreme; Uchiha Mikoto, who was shy to a certain extent, saw the smirking Uchiha In, and for some reason, suddenly became bold.
"What are you thinking? You little brat, your thoughts are really not pure."
Uchiha Mikoto glared 'fiercely' at Uchiha In, lecturing him.
"Don't overthink it, go to sleep quickly."
As if she felt she hadn't said enough, Uchiha Mikoto added another sentence.
Chapter 20: Love Rival?
"Mito Grandma, I'm home."
Kushina Uzumaki, who had parted ways with Uchiha In, also returned home.
Kushina Uzumaki had just arrived in Konoha and was now living in Uzumaki Mito's house.
However, it was said that there should have been two more people in the house, but they were both out on missions and hadn't returned, so only Kushina Uzumaki and Uzumaki Mito were home.
"You're back, Kushina, it looks like you had a very happy day today."
Seeing the happy expression on Kushina Uzumaki's face, Uzumaki Mito also showed a kind smile.
"Yes, Mito Grandma, I made a very good friend today."
Kushina Uzumaki replied with a brilliant smile.
For some reason, whenever she recalled Uchiha In, Kushina Uzumaki felt a warmth in her heart.
She no longer resisted the System's missions much, and even had a sense of anticipation in her heart.
Especially the mission to make a bento tomorrow, she was completely willing to do it, and she was also very curious whether her cooking skills could be acknowledged by Uchiha In.
But with his 'tsundere' personality, even if he thought it was delicious, he would probably say it wasn't!
In that case, wouldn't she have to kiss Uchiha In?!
Kushina Uzumaki suddenly thought of this question, her face flushed with shyness.
How could this be?! That was her first kiss! How could she just give it away like that? If Uchiha In said it wasn't delicious, then she would be doomed!
Kushina Uzumaki stomped her foot, a little anxious, a little petulant.
She didn't notice that she no longer even resisted the punishment for failing the mission.
It seems Kushina didn't just make a good friend.
Uzumaki Mito, as an experienced person, seeing Kushina Uzumaki's situation, also felt that Kushina Uzumaki seemed to have developed feelings for someone.
However, Uzumaki Mito did not pursue it; she only hoped that Kushina Uzumaki could live a better life in Konoha.
"Ding-a-ling."
The doorbell rang.
"Kushina, go open the door, it should be your Tsunade-nee who's back."
Uzumaki Mito said.
"Okay."
"Wait, coming right away."
Kushina Uzumaki opened the door, and standing outside was indeed Tsunade in casual clothes.
After following halfway, Tsunade also thought about how to complete the System's mission, and after figuring it out, she returned home, intentionally missing Kushina Uzumaki.
"Are you Kushina Uzumaki? Hello, I'm Tsunade."
Tsunade smiled and extended her hand.
"Hello, Tsunade-nee, I'm Kushina Uzumaki."
