Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Still Shaken—Is This the Power of Captain Mirai?
The meals on the table were quickly eaten by the three of them.
After agreeing on the time for their sparring match, Shisui Uchiha took his leave.
As for what had happened with Mikoto Uchiha, he had already accepted it.
Whatever decisions Captain Mirai made were always right—he must have his own reasons.
And as for himself, all he needed to do was follow orders without question.
Once Shisui left, Mikoto began actively tidying up the house.
She remained busy well past midnight, when she finally called out from the courtyard where Mirai Uchiha was training, "Mirai, come take a bath."
"Got it."
Inside the huge wooden tub, Mirai sat with his eyes closed, soaking in the hot water and enjoying every second of it.
Mikoto gave him a disapproving look and whispered softly, "Why didn't you tell me someone would be coming today?"
Mirai chuckled, "Don't play innocent—you know how many women dream about a man like me?"
"But if rumors spread… given my position…"
Seeing her worried expression, Mirai let out a soft snort, "What position? Your only position is as my woman."
"Starting today, you're moving in with me. I'd like to see who dares say anything!"
Hearing Mirai's commanding tone, Mikoto bit her lip, "But Itachi and Sasuke still need someone to look after them."
Mirai smiled slightly, "Just hire a nanny."
Then, seeing that Mikoto still looked uncertain, Mirai said firmly, "This isn't up for debate—you don't get to decide."
Looking at the domineering Mirai, Mikoto could only nod in agreement, "I understand..."
———
The next day.
Early in the morning, Mirai went out and immediately hired a nanny to take care of Itachi and Sasuke.
Meanwhile, Mikoto moved directly into Mirai's home.
Many people started whispering and gossiping about the situation.
However, unlike what Mikoto had imagined, the clan members actually praised her warmly—as though leaving Fugaku for Mirai was seen as 'leaving darkness behind and embracing the light.'
Even some elderly women came up to chat with her, hoping that she would properly take care of Mirai's daily life.
As she put down her mental burdens, Mikoto also felt a sudden sense of responsibility well up inside her.
Right now, among the Uchiha Clan, Mirai Uchiha was the hope in every clan member's heart.
As Mirai's woman, Mikoto silently resolved—she absolutely could not disappoint anyone. She must strive to be the best in every aspect!
Having dealt with Mikoto Uchiha's matters, Mirai Uchiha arrived at a training ground in the village.
Shisui Uchiha was already waiting patiently.
Seeing Mirai appear, Shisui's face lit up with eagerness. "Captain Mirai, shall we begin?"
Mirai nodded. "Let's go."
As soon as he spoke, Shisui's eyes transformed into the crimson Mangekyo Sharingan.
He swiftly executed hand seals, and dozens of illusions materialized out of thin air, charging simultaneously toward Captain Mirai.
"Captain Mirai, compared to last time, my ocular power has increased tenfold. Be careful!"
In response, Mirai simply clapped his hands together.
[Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Seedling Fern!]
Instantly, countless sharp bone spikes erupted wildly from the ground of the training field, annihilating all of Shisui's illusions.
At the same time, streams of fine golden sand poured out from the gourd at his waist, quickly enveloping the entire training ground within moments.
Shisui tried to break through, but no matter where he went, he was forced back by the razor-sharp bone spikes and golden sand.
Just as Shisui was struggling desperately, Mirai clapped his hands again. "Secret Art: Shadow Binding Jutsu!"
With the golden sand and forest of bones creating shadows everywhere across the training ground,
in an instant, Shisui was bound by shadow chains emerging from the ground.
"Scorch Release…"
"Captain Mirai, I surrender!"
Shisui shouted loudly while sweating profusely, fearing that if he hesitated even a moment longer, his life might be in serious danger.
[Ding! Congratulations Master, you've successfully acquired the reward: +1 Spiritual Power!]
Mirai didn't feel too disappointed about not acquiring Kotoamatsukami.
After all, he had this opportunity once daily. Eventually, Kotoamatsukami would definitely become his.
After removing the forest of bones and golden sand, Shisui approached Mirai with lingering fear.
His overconfidence fueled by activating the Mangekyo Sharingan quickly faded back into reality.
"Captain Mirai, your strength is truly incredible!"
Shisui originally thought that after obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan himself, although he might still not be able to defeat Mirai, at least the gap between them wouldn't be too obvious.
Unexpectedly, Mirai had effortlessly pushed him into a desperate situation with just a few techniques.
Powerful, wide-range attacks left him nowhere to escape.
Not to mention, his opponent hadn't moved from his spot at all throughout the fight, nor had he even used the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan...
This is truly Captain Mirai!
He realized he'd have to work even harder from now on.
"Shisui, same time tomorrow, wait for me here."
"Yes!"

Hokage Headquarters. The Office of the Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura stared silently at the image in the crystal ball, their expressions heavy with concern.
They had just witnessed the full match between Mirai Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha.
The scene left them stunned.
The overwhelming power casually unleashed by Mirai Uchiha terrified them deeply.
It was truly hard to imagine that combining these Kekkei Genkai could unleash such terrifying power.
But things weren't that simple.
After all, they had long grown accustomed to Mirai's freakish strength.
Yet what they had just seen clearly shocked them further—the ninja known as Shisui Uchiha had also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Mirai hadn't even gone blind yet, and now another pair of Mangekyo appeared…
How the hell are we supposed to deal with this?!
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were certain that Mirai had deliberately chosen to spar with Shisui in the village training ground—to show off his power.
It wouldn't be long before news about a new Mangekyo Sharingan appearing within the Uchiha Clan spread across the entire village!
"Hiruzen, how come Mirai Uchiha hasn't gone blind yet!"
Hearing Danzo's question, Hiruzen rolled his eyes in annoyance. "How should I know?"
Danzo anxiously paced back and forth in the room, his cane thudding loudly against the floor.
Suddenly, Koharu Utatane's eyes sparkled with realization.
"I see it now!"
"Mirai Uchiha is doomed!"
