"Yiyi, are you just giving up?"

Whether he was explaining the Flying Thunder God Technique or calling her by her nickname, Samui remained listless.

Left with no choice, Uchiha Kage gave her a little stimulation, starting to do what they usually did.

However, the female ninja, who would normally struggle and push him away from time to time, preventing him from going too deep, didn't react at all this time.

She was like a dead fish on a cutting board, completely still.

Gone was her usual pride and backbone.

At first, Uchiha Kage found it a bit novel, but later he started to worry...

Was it just because he carved a word with the Flying Thunder God Technique?

She was usually quite strong; why was she so fragile this time?

Could his little prank have been too much for a cold and aloof female ninja like Samui?

Crap, at this rate, Samui was going to physically turn into an NPC who only knew how to stick her butt up.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely never carve such words on anyone else. I promise you're the only one who'll have it, and with this Flying Thunder God Mark, no matter where you are in the future, I can rush to your rescue at any time..."

"..."

However, even after Uchiha Kage reassured her for a while, Samui still had that lifeless look.

Only when Uchiha Kage used a little more force would she bite her lip to suppress the sounds in her mouth, giving a slight reaction that she was still alive.

"Okay, okay, think about it, it's not really a big deal. As long as you kill me in the future, no one will ever be able to activate this mark. If no one activates it, it won't appear again, and you'll have successfully erased it, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Samui finally perked up a bit.

The cold, beautiful, blue-green eyes finally had some spirit.

Yes, as long as she killed this guy who humiliated her, she wouldn't have to care about those two strange words anymore...

"That's more like it."

Seeing Samui regain her spirit and struggle to push him away, Uchiha Kage also breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost broke her...

Luckily, he was quick-witted enough to pull her back.

"You... I'll kill you someday..."

That bastard...

If he bullies her like this again, she really will...

Damn it.

Although she pushed him away, she didn't completely push him away, and Samui was taken advantage of while the iron was hot.

"Alright, alright, since you're going to kill me anyway, I'll have to collect some... benefits before I die."

"You!"

There was no such thing as exchanging sincerity for sincerity; only speed for sound.

Uchiha Kage successfully restored Samui to her former glory.

"Why are there such strange noises coming from Kage's cabin..."

Follow curr𝒆nt nov𝒆ls on fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com.

It was night.

Although Uzuki Yugao had reconciled with Gekko Hayate, problems arose whenever they discussed Hokage-related topics.

Gekko Hayate was also troubled. Uchiha Itachi, such a dangerous person, had returned to the Village, but the Hokage-sama had ordered him not to reveal this to anyone.

But seeing Uzuki Yugao constantly complaining to him about the Third Hokage's little actions after he fell unconscious, and seeing the female ninja's resentment towards the Hokage-sama, he really wanted to make things clear.

But...

He couldn't say it...

If the Hokage-sama was really wrong, then both he and Uzuki Yugao would die.

If the Hokage-sama was not wrong, Uzuki Yugao, who had begun to question the Hokage, would undoubtedly embark on a wrong path.

Gekko Hayate didn't want to see either outcome.

The only way to break the situation was to defeat Uchiha Itachi, who was still in the Village, but with his strength, he couldn't do anything.

He could only try to persuade Uzuki Yugao not to question the Hokage.

But the more Gekko Hayate did this, the more Uzuki Yugao felt that--

Her childhood sweetheart had changed; the person she once wanted to love had changed.

Accompanying this was a strong sense of insecurity.

Just like the day her parents died when she was a child...

Helpless and alone, every stranger she saw was like a beast ready to devour and tear her apart.

Anxiety...

Seeking comfort, Uzuki Yugao subconsciously walked to Uchiha Kage's Anbu cabin.

She originally wanted to talk to this younger brother to alleviate the anxiety that Gekko Hayate brought her, and the bitterness in her heart.

But she didn't expect...

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard strange noises from the crack in the door.

"Kage... so he also..."

That's right, he was different from ordinary Uchihas; it was normal for him to be interested in women.

Moreover, that Yiyi-san had such an explosive figure, and harbored a desire to repay him, and clung to him all day long.

It was only natural that such a thing would happen.

However, it was also possible that Yiyi-san, with her proud physical advantages, indecently seduced Kage, this little brother who didn't understand anything...

No, it wasn't possible, it was definitely like that!

Those rogue ninja have seen it all; they're experts at deceiving naive Shinobi Village ninja like Kage.

Thinking of this, Uzuki Yugao, who had consciously taken on the role of an older sister to care for Uchiha Kage, decided to come again tomorrow morning.

With Kage's intelligence, a momentary indulgence was nothing; as long as she explained everything to him clearly, he would definitely be able to wake up from this big-breasted female ninja's influence.

----

"Yugao?"

Inside the cabin, after finishing making the cream Samui, Uchiha Kage noticed that Uzuki Yugao's figure seemed to be approaching outside.

However, before he could open the door, the female ninja suddenly left.

"Maybe she was just passing by?"

Shaking his head, Uchiha Kage didn't plan to investigate further.

Looking at Yiyi-san, who had already fainted, he experimented again with the Flying Thunder God Technique that he had just learned.

Although he pretended to be very skilled in front of Samui, in reality, no matter how much of a genius he was, he had only mastered a little bit of the basics of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Inscribing the mark, and using the mark and his own Chakra to instantly appear near the mark.

But activating it once still took too much time; he would have to practice for at least a month, perhaps, before he could be said to have skillfully mastered the first stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"But, I should try to see if this Flying Thunder God Technique can really..."

Uchiha Kage casually took Temari's white towel from his ninja tool bag, and then began to carefully wipe the cream off Samui's body.

Along the way, the Flying Thunder God Mark that faintly appeared on the other party's chest made Uchiha Kage a little distracted.

Realizing that the main thing was important, Uchiha Kage quickly put Samui back into his Dream Space.

"I wonder if the Flying Thunder God Technique can directly fly into the Dream Space."

Without using his ability to open the Dream Space, Uchiha Kage decided to try only with the Flying Thunder God Technique, to see if he could directly go to the space through the Flying Thunder God Mark on Samui's body.

"Huh?"

He couldn't even sense the location of the Flying Thunder God Mark...

If he couldn't sense it, naturally he couldn't activate it.

"So the Flying Thunder God Technique has its limits... No, maybe the Dream Space is too special?"

Uchiha Kage couldn't sense the Flying Thunder God Mark he had engraved on Samui's chest at all.

However, after he also entered the Dream Space, the mark could be sensed again.

At the same time, he successfully teleported to Samui's side.

"Forget it, the Flying Thunder God Technique might not be so invincible after all, but on the other hand, the Dream Space is indeed quite safe."

This place would not be disturbed by anyone.

Because no one could enter except him.

"However, I've been experimenting all day today, and although I've gained some results, I've also wasted too many Action Points."

Uchiha Kage realized that after deducting the 'daily check-in' with Kaguya and Mikoto that he had to do, he couldn't go to anyone else's place to squander his Action Points today.

"Especially since this Instance update is also very strange..."

[Single-Player Instance]

[Multiplayer Instance]

There were actually two options after this Instance update.

And it seemed like he could enter twice.

"Let's take a look at the single-player Instance first."

Although it was quite interesting to bring Naruto and Sasuke along, Uchiha Kage occasionally thought about whether to simply venture out alone; he couldn't always hide his strength, right?

So this option seemed quite considerate to him.

"But then again, it's more in line with my character to save the best for last."

[Choose to enter Multiplayer Instance]

[Choose teammates Naruto, Sasuke]

He'd bring his sons to rank up first, then go enjoy himself.

This was Uchiha Kage's way of being a father.

----

"Where is this?"

Opening his eyes, Sasuke looked at the surrounding environment.

"Konoha?"

But it was so strange; the buildings here were very familiar, but they didn't seem to be in his recent memory.

"It's the Uchiha clan's Clan Grounds."

Uchiha Kage helped Sasuke recall the name of this place.

"However, this is probably what it looked like before that incident."

It was the Uchiha Clan Grounds that had not experienced the Night of the Massacre.

In other words, this was some period of time before the Night of the Massacre; they had traveled back in time to the past again.

"No wonder it's so familiar yet... unfamiliar."

Compared to the broken walls they saw every day, the Uchiha Clan Grounds here were indeed intact, and even had a different kind of majestic style.

"So, this is that dream Instance again, right?"

Naruto looked here and there, and also recognized some traces of the Uchiha Clan Grounds.

"The Instance mission is..."

"Never mind the mission; we have to figure out what time it is now."

Sasuke interrupted Naruto anxiously.

Because, for some reason, he suddenly had a rather panicked feeling.

This Instance, this place, was definitely not right!

"Sasuke, your body..."

With the help of the bright moonlight in the sky, Uchiha Kage discovered that the shadow Sasuke cast on the ground was becoming blurred.

It was as if...

"Sasuke, you seem to be disappearing; what's going on!?"

Naruto's eyes widened.

In his eyes, Sasuke in front of him was like someone erasing the color, and then wiping away the figure bit by bit with an eraser, slowly becoming transparent.

"I..."

Sasuke had long noticed the abnormality of his body, but he couldn't do anything; he could only watch his body disappear bit by bit.

"Kage? You again... No, you're finally here!"

Just as Sasuke's figure was about to disappear, Uchiha Kage, who was about to do something, suddenly found himself tightly hugged by a figure rushing over.

"Mikoto?"

It was Uchiha Mikoto, the sexy and gentle married woman, who had shed her youthfulness.

"Mikoto-neechan, Sasuke, he..."

Naruto was surprised that Sasuke's Mama would appear again, and hugged Uchiha Kage like a lover, but what concerned him more now was Sasuke, who had completely disappeared.

"Don't worry, he should have returned to his own body... in this time period, his own body."

Uchiha Mikoto didn't seem to care much about Sasuke's disappearance.

"W-what do you mean? I don't really understand..."

Naruto scratched his head.

"You're called Uzumaki Naruto?"

Releasing Uchiha Kage, Uchiha Mikoto began to curiously, like it was their first meeting, look up and down at Naruto.

This Naruto...

She didn't see clearly last time, but looking this time...

Sure enough, he felt exactly like Kushina.

And he also had a certain degree of similarity to this guy beside her.

"Yeah, didn't I say it last time?"

The Mikoto-neechan in front of him was too much more mature than the one he saw in the last Instance; Naruto was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

He thought to himself, if he had a Mama, she would probably be as beautiful and gentle as Sasuke's Mama.

"I didn't know you were..."

Saying this, Mikoto-san glanced at Uchiha Kage with a resentful look.

"In short, the situation is urgent now, so I'll make a long story short. Sasuke's Soul has now returned to his original body, so the copy that appeared here disappeared."

"How old is Sasuke now?"

Uchiha Kage had indeed guessed some things.

However, to confirm this guess, he had to know what time it was now.

"Half a year old; I have Itachi taking care of him."

At this moment, Mikoto-san answered every question of Uchiha Kage and Naruto as if she were omniscient.

"Itachi is well-behaved because of my guidance; that won't happen."

She added to Uchiha Kage.

"I see, then let's quickly go find Ku..."

A trace of an unusual atmosphere did indeed permeate the space.

Uchiha Kage roughly understood what this Instance was related to.

"What copy, what Future? What are you guys talking about?"

Naruto completely didn't understand what Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Mikoto were saying.

"I only know that the mission said to let us go help someone called Kushina..."

"That's right, then let's go find Kushina now."

Uchiha Mikoto reached out and grabbed Uchiha Kage's Hand, and then playfully squeezed his palm slightly.

"To find your good wife."

After answering Naruto's question, she whispered in Uchiha Kage's ear.

"I..."

Uchiha Kage said that he still didn't know anything.

"Don't worry, 'you' have told me everything. I know; the current you is just..."

As if she could read minds, Uchiha Mikoto easily saw through Uchiha Kage's inner thoughts.

"However, whether it's them or you, you are all unique existences at the same time, and cannot be repeated. So you are still you; it's not wrong for me to be jealous of you."

"But in terms of memories..."

He didn't expect that not only Samui and Hinata, but even he himself couldn't exist in the same spacetime at the same time?

Uchiha Kage felt a little helpless.

Today's events, or rather this Instance, might be beyond his control.

"And you didn't go to the Future; this is still the past. You can't interfere with the Future you, and the Future you can't interfere... cough... might want to interfere with you through me, but I can choose not to listen to him."

Was this perhaps the real jealousy?

Mikoto explained as she led the still-confused Naruto and Uchiha Kage out.

"I don't understand at all."

Naruto only felt like his brain was about to explode.

"It's okay, you'll understand in a moment; now..."

Uchiha Mikoto took out two masks from her arms and handed them to Uchiha Kage and Naruto respectively.

"Put this on; if you're too conspicuous, it'll be easy to make the 'mission' fail."

"He's lying to you."

Since there couldn't be repetition, there shouldn't be paradoxes.

In other words, there couldn't be a 'failed' Future, or a successful present; the two would only contradict each other.

There must be other reasons for wearing the masks.

Uchiha Kage thought.

"Kage, are you jealous? Jealous of yourself?"

Uchiha Mikoto rarely saw Uchiha Kage so flustered.

"Okay, actually everything is my own idea, whether it's that I came to find you today, or other things, including this mask."

Left with no choice, Mikoto, who didn't want to bully her lover too much, had to tell the truth.

Everything today was just her own idea; she was venting a little resentment in her own way, and protecting the other party in her own way, not because of anyone's instructions.

"You told me later... that you told my past self. And after that..."

Saying this, the expression on Mikoto's face became even more resentful.

She really should be jealous, jealous of the Future her, also jealous of Kushina, and also jealous of the past her that Uchiha Kage would see when he went back later.

Because since "that day" began, she had never seen him again...

"What happened after that?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Kage finally calmed down.

And at the same time, he discovered that the Mikoto in front of him seemed a little off.

Especially after entering the Instance, when she hugged him for the first time.

"I don't want to explain to you, you cheater!"

Rarely, the always-gentle Mikoto suddenly snapped at Uchiha Kage.

"Mikoto, you..."

Uchiha Kage increasingly realized the abnormality.

"Wait! I'm getting more confused. Mikoto-neechan, aren't you Sasuke's mom? What's going on with you and Kage?"

Arguing like a married couple, or showing affection in front of him?

Naruto felt very puzzled by the scene in front of him.

"It's okay, Naruto, you can also call me Mama, just like Sasuke."

Without responding to Uchiha Kage's question, Mikoto returned to her usual gentle appearance, smiling at Naruto.

Then she continued to gently squeeze Uchiha Kage's Hand.

"R-really!?"

Naruto, who had just been thinking about whether he would have a Mama as beautiful and gentle as Sasuke's Mama if he had one, was overjoyed to hear this.

If he wasn't still on the road, he would definitely jump up and down to vent his excitement.

He had a Mama...

Although it was in the Instance.

And this Mama...

After thinking that Sasuke's Mama had also died, Naruto couldn't help but feel sad again.

No, that's not right; with this magical Instance, Sasuke's Mama would definitely be alright!

"We're here; this is where Kushina... is. Let's hurry in."

Crossing a short stretch of Death Forest, Uchiha Mikoto led Uchiha Kage and Naruto to a hidden Cave.

"Kushina is so afraid of pain; she must be waiting for you anxiously now."
