Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Hatake Sakumo

It didn't take long for Uchiha Shin to retrieve a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan. As for what happened to Uchiha Bon, Kisaragi didn't care, as long as Uchiha Shin brought back the Sharingan.

"You can leave now. Go to Uchiha Police force and get a ninjutsu," Kisaragi said to Uchiha Shin.

If you want someone to work hard, you need to reward them. If you want them to respect and obey you, you need to give them something in return when you have the power to do so.

"Yes, Patriarch," Uchiha Shin replied, clearly excited.

"Now, Uchiha Mikoto, absorb the fresh Three Tomoe Sharingan," Kisaragi ordered.

"Lord Patriarch..."

"Just call me by my name. After all, you are going to be my wife in the future," Kisaragi said as he pulled Uchiha Mikoto into his arms. Mikoto didn't resist at all; she had gotten used to it.

Anyway, Kisaragi had promised to marry her, so he would be her future. In fact, with Uchiha Mikoto's personality, even if Kisaragi was her future husband, she wouldn't engage in such intimate behavior before marriage. But her relationship with Kisaragi was different. Everything had already happened between them. What else could she do? She could only accept her situation.

Besides, even if she didn't want to, she had no power to resist.

"Kisaragi, please don't take the clan's eyes for my sake in the future. If the clan finds out, it might affect your reputation as the Uchiha Patriarch," Mikoto said softly to Kisaragi, thinking she was doing it for his benefit.

Even though Uchiha Bon was Kisaragi's enemy, if word got out, many members of the clan would feel uneasy. The Uchiha clan highly valued their Sharingan. Although they didn't impose the same strict rules on their branch families like the Hyuga clan, they still placed great importance on their eyes. If an outsider dared to transplant Sharingan, the Uchiha clan would never let them off.

In the original story, Kakashi was able to keep his Sharingan because he was strong and had a special background. His teacher was the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. It was likely because of Minato's influence and the fact that Uchiha Obito had given the eye to Kakashi that the Uchiha didn't pursue the matter.

"Do you think I care about that? In this world, as long as you have power, you can do whatever you want."

As long as Kisaragi had strength, his position as Patriarch would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Hurry up and absorb it, don't waste any time," Kisaragi said impatiently.

Hearing Kisaragi's tone, Mikoto, afraid of displeasing him, quickly used the power of Ten no kyūsū to absorb the Sharingan's power. The Three Tomoe Sharingan turned gray and was completely destroyed.

"It seems Mikoto is still a little afraid of me. That's good—it'll make it easier for me to shape her character," Kisaragi thought to himself as he observed Mikoto.

Mikoto had a gentle personality—perfect, as long as she remained gentle with him.

That night, Mikoto didn't leave Kisaragi's house. Since Kisaragi had expelled Uchiha Fugaku from the clan, Mikoto had been living with Kisaragi, and no one dared to say anything. After all, Kisaragi was the Uchiha Patriarch. Who would dare gossip unless they had a death wish?

With Mikoto serving him, Kisaragi had been quite comfortable lately, and even his sleep had improved.

After finishing his training, Kisaragi rarely went to the Konoha Police team. He hadn't visited them in a while. The police had brought him significant benefits.

Under Kisaragi's orders, the police had been quite active recently, not only forcing the local business owners to pay security management fees but also intentionally creating chaos.

In Kisaragi's words, "If Konoha's security is too good, we'll be out of a job."

As a result, the Uchiha Police had a notorious reputation in Konoha Village.

"Have they paid the security management fees yet?" Kisaragi asked Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Jin.

Kisaragi hadn't been to the Guard team recently, so Jin and Shin had been handling things.

"Patriarch, there are still a few stubborn ones who haven't paid yet, but they won't hold out for much longer. Soon, they'll either pay or go bankrupt," Uchiha Shin replied with a sinister grin.

After causing enough trouble, they wouldn't have a choice but to give in.

"By the way, Patriarch, Hatake Sakumo has returned to Konoha Village, but it seems he failed his mission," Shin reported.

Kisaragi had ordered Shin to keep an eye on Hatake Sakumo. After obtaining Ryūjin Jakka, Kisaragi had become interested in Hatake's swordsmanship and wanted to learn it for himself. Unfortunately, Hatake Sakumo had been out on a mission.

'He failed the mission, huh? It seems Hatake Sakumo's suicide isn't far off now.'

Counting the days, it seemed Hatake Sakumo was due to take his own life soon.

He had fought for Konoha Village, only to be driven to suicide by rumors. Hatake Sakumo's fate was tragic, but Kisaragi didn't pity him.

As a Kage-level ninja, it was ridiculous for him to be brought down by the opinions of a bunch of weak people.

"I need to see him before he dies," Kisaragi decided.

But don't get him wrong—Kisaragi didn't want to save Hatake Sakumo. In fact, he might even push him toward his fate. He had no interest in helping him. After all, Hatake Sakumo's loyalty to Konoha was unshakable; if he couldn't defy the village, he was doomed.

Kisaragi's only interest in Hatake Sakumo was in learning the Hatake family's swordsmanship.

Hatake's home was quite large, fitting for a Kage-level ninja who had completed countless missions. It was only natural that his house would be big.

Without bothering to knock, Kisaragi, not one for politeness, pushed the door open and walked straight in.

Hatake Sakumo was in the yard. When he saw his door being forced open, he frowned, anger rising within him. He had been in a bad mood ever since he had failed the mission to save his comrade, and now, this intrusion only worsened his mood.

"It's you, Uchiha Kisaragi," Sakumo said, his frown deepening.
