Chapter 45 - Mikoto Uchiha’s Imagination and Shyness, The Third Great Ninja War Approaches

Unfortunately, he still hadn't obtained Hashirama's original cells.

Otherwise, Uchiha Sora would have directly given his family the Hashirama Sage Body cultivation method.

That one was even stronger.

Of course, the Uzumaki Sage Body had its own advantages.

Leaving aside vitality—

Just the Kagura Mind's Eye alone was an incredible ability.

Sensor-type shinobi were rare talents in the ninja world.

With strong perception abilities, survival rates during missions could be greatly increased.

"Oh? Can it already be taught?"

Hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes lit up slightly.

If it could enhance vitality and lifespan—

Then could it also improve beauty? Slow down aging?

She was very interested in that.

"Yes. I've already perfected it. Everything that needed verification has been tested—there are no issues."

Uchiha Sora nodded and asked his mother to sit down.

Then, with a tap of his finger to her forehead, he transmitted the Uzumaki Sage Body cultivation method along with a concealment technique into her mind.

Naturally, both were protected with sealing restrictions.

He even placed a seal across her entire spiritual sea.

Not to guard against her—

But to guard against outsiders.

Unless someone could break through his seals, no one would be able to invade her mind or extract her memories.

"Here, Mom—take this, then circulate the method. I'll guide you into the initial stage."

Next, Uchiha Sora forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip, refined it into a bloodline seed using a special method, and brought it to her lips.

This seed was formed from the pure Uzumaki bloodline energy he had cultivated within himself—

Even more refined than using Kushina's blood.

"Alright."

Mikoto swallowed it without hesitation and began circulating the method under his guidance.

Only after the seed was planted in her heart and nurtured into initial growth with Innate Qi did he withdraw his support.

"That's enough. From now on, you just need to cultivate daily to nurture it. It will probably take several years."

"Of course, once I create a version of the Innate Technique suitable for you, using that to generate Innate Qi will greatly accelerate the process."

He explained.

Helping her fully mature it himself wasn't impossible—

But it would take too much of his time.

He still had many other things to research.

And besides—

There was his father, his brother, and Mikoto as well.

He couldn't personally accelerate everyone's cultivation.

"Mm, this is enough."

Mikoto smiled and gently rubbed his head.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm not relying on this for rapid strength growth anyway—you've already taught us so many other methods. Taking it slow is fine."

"You just need to make sure you don't overwork yourself."

Sometimes, she truly felt heartache watching him.

Since childhood, he had always carried a sense of urgency—

Constantly pushing himself to grow stronger.

Helping the family grow stronger.

Helping the Uchiha clan grow stronger.

He was working too hard.

And that wasn't what she wanted for him.

Before long, Uchiha Senichi, Uchiha Hao, and Mikoto all returned.

Uchiha Sora taught them the Uzumaki Sage Body cultivation method as well, guiding each of them into the initial stage.

He also passed on the concealment technique, reminding them:

"For now, use this to suppress your chakra fluctuations and spiritual presence—it's useful for hiding your strength."

"Once your Uzumaki Sage Body improves, it can also conceal your life force, preventing others from detecting it and avoiding unnecessary trouble."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry. We'll be careful."

At this point, Mikoto spoke up:

"Sora… this Uzumaki Sage Body—doesn't it come from Kushina? Is it really okay to pass it on like this?"

"And if we cultivate Uzumaki bloodline too… wouldn't that make us the same as her?"

Would that cause issues in the future?

Would it affect children?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sora couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently patted her head.

"Relax. It's not what you think."

"The bloodline seeds you're using are formed from the pure Uzumaki bloodline energy I cultivated within myself. They're no longer directly tied to Kushina."

"If anything, it just means that in the future, we'll all possess both Uchiha and Uzumaki bloodlines."

"Your concerns are unnecessary."

What was she even imagining?

"Ah… I see…"

Mikoto suddenly understood.

But when she noticed everyone looking at her with amused expressions, her face flushed red instantly.

She quickly lowered her head and buried herself in eating.

"Alright, stop staring. Let's eat."

Mikoto said with a smile, signaling everyone to begin.

During the meal, she asked:

"Dear… is another war about to start? There have been more and more wounded lately. The hospital is almost overwhelmed."

Uchiha Senichi nodded, his expression turning serious.

"Yes."

"The situation in the Land of Wind has been abnormal recently. The Hidden Sand Village seems to be mobilizing large numbers of shinobi, searching for something in the desert and within the Land of Rivers."

"Something big is happening."

"Friction with Konoha has been increasing, and the atmosphere of war is growing heavier. Even our Uchiha businesses in the Land of Rivers have been affected."

"It's very possible that war could break out at any time."

Then he looked at Uchiha Hao and Mikoto and warned:

"Be careful when taking missions. Avoid assignments near the Land of Wind as much as possible."

Even though both of them were already strong among jōnin—

Caution was still necessary.

In war, even jōnin could die at any moment.

"Yes."

They both nodded seriously.

Uchiha Sora frowned slightly as well.

"Don't leave just yet. I'll prepare something for you—a trump card."

"If you encounter danger, use it. It should help you get out of critical situations."

He was still too young.

Even though his strength was already immense, he couldn't reveal it or leave the village freely.

This was the only way he could help them for now.

"Alright."

Mikoto and Hao nodded gratefully.

"Thank you."

After the meal, Uchiha Sora went down to the underground lab.

Ten minutes later, he returned and handed each of them a scroll.

"When you need it, just inject chakra into the scroll. It will activate automatically."

"You'll understand the effect when the time comes."
