"Hahaha, this is the first time in my life that when Mikoto and I are together, someone thinks I'm younger than you, Mikoto."
"But, I'm four years younger than you. There's nothing wrong with thinking I'm younger than you."
Mikoto did not respond to Yoshino's words, but her pupils turned from black to red, revealing that she was probably unhappy at the moment.
At this moment, Naruto was completely stunned.
The woman just said that she was twenty-two years old, and also said that she was four years younger than Uchiha Mikoto, which means that the Uchiha Mikoto in front of her was twenty-six years old.
but
Uchiha Mikoto died when Sasuke was eight years old, and when Sasuke was eight years old, she seemed to be thirty-five years old.
If age is still counted after death, you should be in your early forties now. How come you are only twenty-six?
Naruto looked at Mikoto's face carefully and found that she did not look like she was in her thirties or forties. She looked younger than Sarutobi Hazuki, who had just turned thirty.
I have never heard of Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique being passed down to the Uchiha people.
this.
Shouldn't it be.
This really is the 26-year-old Uchiha Mikoto!
The three major doubts in life once again entered Naruto's mind.
who am I?
where am I?
What am I doing now?
'Selector, come out and speak.'
'Is it possible that I have traveled through time again?'
"Don't make trouble. I've finally become powerful, made so much money, and hooked up with so many girls, but I haven't arranged my funeral yet."
"Okay, I've traveled through time, so come out and tell me who I've become this time!"
"How come I don't even have any memory? Give me some hints."
The selector did not respond.
Naruto's brain froze for a while.
It wasn't until Uchiha Mikoto's voice sounded again that Naruto came back to his senses belatedly.
She asked Naruto, "Who are you? I'm pretty sure I've never seen you in the village."
I also want to know who I am.
There was silence for several seconds. Mikoto's eyes turned completely cold when she saw that Naruto was slow to speak.
If Naruto couldn't give a reasonable explanation, she would kill him without hesitation, because Naruto had Konoha's forehead protector on his arm.
If they are not ninjas from the village, then they can only be enemies.
Yoshino's expression also turned cold, and he took a slight step forward, attacking Mikoto from the front and back.
There was silence.
Naruto broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
'Selector, is it still there? I want to turn on active selection.'
In the case of insufficient strength, Naruto wanted to see what the optimal solution given by the selector was.
Hopefully the selector is still there.
[Actively choose to trigger! 】
[You have already aroused the hostility of Uchiha Mikoto and Nara Yoshino. They may kill you at any time without the ability to resist. What will you choose?]
[Choice 1, stay friendly: honestly tell them that you are a time traveler, so that they think you are harmless. Completion reward (Reincarnation Eye)]
[Choice 2, treat it rationally: weave a lie and successfully deceive the past. Completion reward (Peak State Experience Card)]
[Choice 3, act recklessly: tie them up immediately, let them go after they have committed crimes for a month. Completion reward (Reincarnation Eye)]
[Choice 4, ruthless: Why should I explain my actions to others? Kill them. Completion reward (100% control of the nine tailed beasts)]
Are options three and four serious?
In my current state, can I tie them up? Can I kill them?
“Rumble——!!!”
There was a loud thunder outside the cave.
The white light of lightning flashed across Mikoto's now cold face.
"Can't you tell?"
"Then go to hell!"
Chapter 185 In the Cave (late night update)
Are you taking action now?
How decisive!
Naruto held his breath and looked into Uchiha Mikoto's scarlet eyes, feeling a little panicked.
Choices three and four are undoubtedly undesirable. Choosing those two will definitely mean no way out. Now you are struggling between honesty and lies.
In fact, as for Naruto himself, he personally wanted to choose to lie, but he had no idea what kind of personality Uchiha Mikoto had.
She wanted to say something herself.
To what extent does one have to cheat to pass?
Also, Naruto didn't know if he had died and was taken through time again by the Selector.
He didn't even know what era it was, or what he looked like. Everything was unknown.
The risk of lying is too great.
Outside the cave, the rain was still hitting the ground, and every sound was like a call of death.
Naruto tried to move, but he couldn't, as if this body didn't actually belong to him.
Can't move?
Ok?
Naruto suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, maybe he actually escaped successfully in the "channel" and came to many years ago.
Otherwise, why can't I move?
The perfect version of Eight Gates of Ninjutsu clearly states that you will not die after using it, but it will take time to repair yourself.
It fits the current situation very well.
I clearly knew this, so why did I suddenly become confused just now?
After realizing this, Naruto felt a little relieved. He already had a way to deal with it. Although he didn't know if it would work, he had to try it.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Uchiha Mikoto was no longer interested in waiting, she raised her kunai and aimed her eyes at Naruto's heart.
With the three-magatama Sharingan, there is absolutely no possibility of error in the kunai she wields.
The monsoon in July is always quite violent, and the howling sound of the wind is like the roar of a demon.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto met Mikoto's cold Sharingan.
"Uchiha Itachi, four years old!"
The deep voice echoed in the empty cave, and Mikoto paused as she prepared to throw the kunai.
The reason is simple: Uchiha Itachi is her son and is indeed four years old this year.
However, if this is the only proof, it is not enough. After all, Itachi is her and Fugaku's son, so it is normal for others to know about it.
"not enough!"
Mikoto's voice was still cold, but it made Naruto feel more at ease.
At least Mikoto actually gave him a chance to speak, instead of deliberately playing with him.
Uchiha Mikoto was 26 years old, Uchiha Itachi was 4 years old, and if even Mikoto had gone to the battlefield, then the current time point should be at the end of the Third Ninja World War.
In this war that lasted for several years, not only Mikoto, the clan leader's wife, but also the four-year-old Uchiha Itachi was brought to the battlefield by Fugaku.
As the clan leader's wife, she was only accompanied by one person, and that person was injured.
It can be judged that Mikoto's team is probably defeated and preparing to retreat to Konoha. Assuming that she is isolated and helpless, it is not unreasonable for her to worry that Naruto is the enemy.
If it were Naruto, he wouldn't care whether you were from Konoha or not. He would just chop you down if he felt danger.
Uchiha Mikoto is still too kind. Beneath her pretended cold appearance, she actually hides kindness.
Seeing through this, Naruto's expression became calm, and he spoke clearly and at a moderate speed.
"Your son, Uchiha Itachi, will fight beside your husband, Uchiha Fugaku."
As the words fell, a flash of horror flashed across Mikoto's eyes.
Yoshino beside him was the first to speak: "What? How is that possible!"
Seeing the two's shock, Naruto knew that he was right.
How could a kind-hearted ninja who could even listen to a stranger's explanation during wartime have the heart to send his four-year-old son to the battlefield?
This must be Fugaku's own decision without informing Mikoto.
Further speculation, as the head of the Uchiha clan, the largest clan in Konoha, the battlefield where he is must be the most difficult front line, so Uchiha Itachi must also be on the front line.
There are often the most people on the front lines, and all kinds of news can spread easily.
If Mikoto didn't even know this when a four-year-old prodigy went to the battlefield, it would prove that she was not on the main front line.
