Chapter 110: Two Choices! The Entire Uchiha Clan Defects?
At this moment, the state of casually controlling others filled Oborotsuki with deep satisfaction.
He had come here so many times before, but every critical moment had been interrupted by Fugaku or other Uchiha clan members.
This time, Oborotsuki planned to collect both principal and interest.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten to get down to business:
"I can help you, but you have to help me too, Mikoto."
"H-how should I help you?"
By now, Mikoto already regretted her actions.
Letting this man in was like inviting a wolf into the house.
Now she was completely at his mercy, unable to break free from this terrifying man.
Not only was her heart racing and her mind in chaos,
She even had the urge to scream for help, to summon other clan members or Konoha ANBU—anything to escape this demon's grasp.
Whether doing so would expose her shameful secret had already become secondary.
Fortunately, Mikoto only thought about it—she didn't actually do it.
If others saw what was happening right now, it wouldn't just ruin her reputation.
The entire Uchiha clan would be utterly humiliated.
For a clan as proud as the Uchiha, who valued face above all else,
If such a thing got out, it would practically force them to commit mass suicide…
"I'm not going to tell you right now."
"But I can point out a clear path for the Uchiha clan. Whether you take it depends on your choice."
"Once the Uchiha crisis is over, you can ask me this question again."
"At that time, I'll tell you exactly what to do."
Oborotsuki spoke with a mysterious, confident air that left Mikoto stunned and dazed.
She hesitated for a moment, her pained expression easing slightly.
Her body even began to feel soft and warm.
"C-can you… let me go first…?"
"What are you thinking? Of course not!"
Oborotsuki grinned wickedly in response. Not only did he refuse to release her, he tightened his grip even more.
Sure enough, Mikoto's face contorted in pain once again.
Her cheeks flushed crimson, the blush spreading to her ears and down her slender, fair neck.
She had never been treated this way by a stranger before. Humiliated and furious, she now had no choice but to lower her voice and beg—anything to avoid angering him.
What if she provoked him and he acted on impulse?
Little Sasuke was still sleeping in the next room.
Right now, Mikoto's greatest fear wasn't for herself—it was still for her youngest son Sasuke's safety.
Oborotsuki was now completely in the mood. He genuinely wanted to take her right then and there.
But he knew his own limits.
Once he crossed that line, there would be no turning back—and definitely not for several hours.
If something unexpected happened midway, it would be troublesome.
So for the best experience, he could only endure for now.
A more suitable opportunity would come later.
"Listen carefully, Mikoto."
"What I'm about to say concerns the life and death of the entire Uchiha clan."
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but you must remember every word."
Oborotsuki's tone suddenly turned serious.
Hearing this, Mikoto—who had been lightly struggling—immediately stopped moving and quieted down.
She waited patiently for him to continue.
"There are two paths for the Uchiha clan's self-salvation."
"This is currently the best option: the entire Uchiha clan defects right now and relocates to our Land of Water, Kirigakure."
"Once there, we will provide shelter and a suitable territory for your clan. But it also means that from now on, the Uchiha clan will become part of Kirigakure."
"This method will permanently resolve the problem of the Uchiha being ostracized and targeted by Konoha."
"Kirigakure never treats talented shinobi the way Konoha does."
"You don't want to continue living in Konoha with such an awkward and humiliating status, do you?"
At the end, Oborotsuki asked with a meaningful smile.
Mikoto's face was already filled with extreme shock.
The entire Uchiha clan defecting?
Betraying Konoha and joining Kirigakure to gain their protection?
The very idea was horrifying.
It would be tantamount to pushing the whole Uchiha clan into a pit of fire.
If Konoha learned of this, they would never let it go peacefully. They would never allow the entire Uchiha clan to leave the village.
If they did this, war would be inevitable!
Though Mikoto was restrained by Oborotsuki and unable to move, she wasn't stupid.
"This plan of yours…"
"Of course, the choice is yours."
"I'm simply offering you a solution to the problem."
Oborotsuki knew very well that Mikoto—and likely the rest of the Uchiha clan—would never accept his first suggestion.
So he directly interrupted her and added two more sentences.
Hearing this, Mikoto silently nodded:
"The entire Uchiha clan betraying Konoha… that's impossible."
The Uchiha had lived in the Land of Fire for generations.
They had been rooted in Konoha since the village's founding.
Now, they were deeply entrenched.
Asking them to suddenly abandon everything, leave their homeland, and start over—they would never agree.
"Please tell me your second option…"
"There has to be another choice, right?"
Mikoto's body unconsciously relaxed slightly. She turned her head and looked at Oborotsuki again.
"The second path will test the Uchiha clan's resolve even more—because this one truly involves bloodshed."
Oborotsuki spoke slowly, his tone filled with meaning.
