"???"

"???"

"???"

Kirito: "..."

Damn it, I shouldn't have helped if I had known.

Konan lives right across the street and has yet to see her own reflection in the mirror.

If that happens, Izumi will be heartbroken.

Key!

Mikoto is not a casual woman. Once he forces himself on her, unless he threatens Sasuke, she might just try to commit suicide every day.

Alas! You can't accomplish everything all at once. Everything has to be done step by step.

At this moment, Mikoto turned her gaze to Uchiha Izumi and changed the subject, "Kirito, what's With her?"

"Ahem," Kirito coughed lightly, took a step back without leaving a trace, took the initiative to distance himself from Mikoto, and said seriously, "Madam, Izumi doesn't know about the Uchiha clan extermination yet, and I haven't told her either. If possible, I hope to let her enjoy a carefree girlhood."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining "Fire wood" *999999, which has been automatically stored in the system warehouse.]

"I understand. What do you need me to do?" Mikoto nodded. She was sincerely happy for Uchiha Izumi and glad that the latter had found such a considerate protector.

After a moment of contemplation, Kirito said, "Izumi knows about the Uchiha clan's plan for a coup and Danzo's sending me to wipe out the Uchiha clan. I'll tell her later that Uncle Fugaku and I discussed it and used the opportunity of pretending to kidnap you to divert the Uchiha clan's hatred towards the village and thus end the rebellion.

Let Konoha and the Uchiha clan live in harmony again."

As he spoke, Kirito untied Uchiha Izumi's acupoints.

"Kirito, have we left Konoha yet? Hey, why is Aunt Mikoto here?" This was the first sentence Izumi said after waking up.

Kirito and Mikoto looked at each other, and they tacitly told Izumi a white lie.

Then Kirito mentioned some precautions about the place to both of them.

After hearing this, Izumi was happy for her people, but at the same time, she threw herself into Kirito's arms in distress.

This made Kirito's face flush hot.

To celebrate escaping the crisis, Izumi and Mikoto cooked a table full of dishes that night using ingredients Kirito had stored in the system warehouse.

After dinner, while Izumi was taking a bath, Kirito took out a clay pot and handed it to Mikoto. "Madam, this is for you."

"What is this?" Mikoto took the pottery jar curiously and asked in surprise.

Kirito said solemnly, "These are your husband's ashes."

"Fugaku." Hearing this, Mikoto could no longer hold back and hugged the urn, crying.

Kirito calmly lied, "Although he wasn't a good clan leader, he was a good husband. After he died, I stole his body from under Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose and secretly cremated it on the way here. Don't worry, his body was intact before cremation, and I didn't dig out his eyes."

He indeed didn't dig out his eyes. His eyes were taken by the system, and the same was true for the Uchiha bloodline.

"Thank you." Uchiha Mikoto picked up the urn, stood up, and bowed, expressing her sincere gratitude to Kirito.

Kirito smiled slightly, patted her shoulder, and joked, "Do you feel better now? If you still want to cry, I don't mind lending you my shoulder."

"You're really not serious. I don't know where you learned this from."

Uchiha Mikoto wiped her tears, glared at him in reproach, and then burst into laughter, feeling inexplicably better.

"I won't talk to you anymore. Don't you have a mission tomorrow? I'll clean up the table later. After you take a shower, go to bed early. I'll take care of your clothes for you," Mikoto said, holding the urn as she walked into her room.

Kirito smiled indifferently, and after Izumi finished washing, he also took a bath, returned to the room, and began his long-awaited rest since the extermination of the clan.

"Kirito."

However, not long after he lay down, Mikoto knocked on his door.

"Madam, do you need anything?" Kirito opened the door with a smile.

"Well, I left in such a hurry this time that I didn't bring any spare clothes," Mikoto said, blushing.

"I understand. You can just wear mine tonight. Tomorrow I'll ask Konan to get you a few sets. Just give me the size." As he spoke, Kirito took out a white shirt and black shorts from the system warehouse.

As for underwear, he didn't offer any, nor could he.

Izumi's size was too small, and underwear couldn't be worn randomly, so Mikoto had to make do.

"Thank you." Mikoto quickly took the white shirt and black pants from Kirito and hurried into the bathroom. She didn't turn on the shower until Kirito's door was closed.

Soon, the sound of running water filled the room.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, at dawn, Mikoto, a housewife at heart, prepared breakfast for Kirito.

At the same time, she changed into her own clothes.

As for Kirito's clothes, she had already washed them, dried them with an iron, and hung them up along with his clothes from yesterday.

"Kirito, thank you for what happened last night. As for the clothes, I've already asked Konan, and she'll send them over later," Mikoto said, blushing and slightly embarrassed.

"That's good," Kirito smiled.

"What happened between you two last night?" Izumi asked curiously as she opened the door to her room.

"It's nothing. Mrs. Mikoto just forgot to bring a change of clothes, so I asked Konan to get her a few sets." Kirito blinked at Mikoto, who immediately responded with a grateful look.

After Izumi sat down, Kirito reminded the two of them about some precautions and that he might be away for a while.

Only then did he don the Akatsuki cloak and leave.

At the stairs, he unexpectedly met Konan.

The two walked side by side, and Kirito whispered in a voice only they could hear, "After I leave, I'll leave Mikoto and Izumi in your care. I'll send you information about the masked man as soon as possible."

"No problem," Konan replied lightly without further comment.

After a moment, the two arrived at the clock tower where they had gathered the previous day.

Pain Tendou had been waiting for some time, and Itachi had also arrived, standing beside Pain with an expressionless face. When he saw Kirito approaching, he immediately activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Kirito smiled, found a place to lean against a pillar, folded his arms, and closed his eyes to rest.

Not long after, Zetsu, Kisame, Orochimaru, and Sasori arrived one by one.

Kirito didn't open his eyes until Kakuzu arrived, as he felt an extremely strong murderous intent directed at him.

Kirito glanced at Zetsu, who was closest to him, and said loudly, "Is there something wrong with the masked man's brain? Does he always release murderous intent like this? Is he usually so brave?"

"Boy, are you looking for death?" Kakuzu seethed with anger and greed, veins bulging on his forehead. If Pain weren't there, he might have attacked on the spot.
