Mikoto approached Gento while reaching out and gently pulling open her collar.
Gento suddenly felt as if someone had thrown a flashbang right in front of his eyes.
Before he could even speak, Mikoto had pressed herself against him.
In the next instant, a warm sensation sealed his lips.
After a long while, the two finally parted.
Mikoto's gaze was unfocused, her cheeks flushed, her breathing slightly hurried.
Suppressing his gradually roughening breath, Gento asked in a low voice:
"Mikoto… you… are you this eager?"
Mikoto raised her head, a trace of grievance in her eyes:
"Fugaku only knows work all day. He comes back very late every night. Sometimes when I take the initiative, he always says he's too tired and just falls asleep…"
Hearing this, Gento felt a wave of surprise.
He hadn't expected that upright-looking Fugaku would actually be so indifferent.
Since that was the case, he could only step in for Fugaku.
He said nothing more and pressed forward directly.
"Ah!"
Mikoto let out a cry, but there was no resistance in her voice.
Gento leaned close to her ear and whispered:
"Then let me show you the Clan Head's power."
…
Who knew how long had passed.
With a shy expression, Mikoto gently pushed Gento's head away from her chest, her voice hoarse:
"Mmm~ you're terrible…"
A soft blush colored her cheeks, as she stood up and straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes, preparing to leave.
Gento suddenly paused and called out to her:
"Wait, Mikoto."
He reached out and gently placed his hand over her lower abdomen.
Although Mikoto didn't know what he intended to do, she still cooperated obediently.
Gento formed hand seals quickly:
"Yin Sealing: Slave Mark!"
As his words fell, a heart-shaped pattern appeared on Mikoto's lower abdomen.
Mikoto looked down, her expression immediately changing, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes:
"If Fugaku sees this… how do I explain it?"
Gento smiled and reassured her:
"Don't worry."
He formed another seal, and the heart-shaped pattern gradually sank beneath her skin and disappeared.
"Alright. From now on, it will only appear when I actively activate it."
Only then did Mikoto let out a breath of relief, though she still shot him a reproachful glance and asked:
"You… what is this seal for?"
A mischievous smile appeared on Gento's face as he leaned to her ear and whispered.
"In the future, when I activate this mark, come find me at the clan's hot springs."
Of course Mikoto understood what he meant by going to the hot springs.
Yet not only did she not refuse, she instead nodded:
"Mhm!"
Gento added:
"Also, you're my woman now. From now on, Fugaku is not allowed to touch you."
Mikoto nodded without hesitation:
"Alright. I didn't like him anyway."
Gento smiled in satisfaction.
Only then did Mikoto tidy up the scene, put on her disordered kimono, and turn to leave.
At the doorway, she turned back to glance at Gento, her eyes carrying a trace of unfulfilled desire, before opening the door and leaving.
As Gento watched her departing figure, the system notification sounded in his ears-
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing Dual Cultivation with a Kunoichi!]
[Evaluating the aptitude of the Dual Cultivation target…]
[Evaluation complete.]
[Target: Mikoto Uchiha.]
[Overall Rating: S-rank!]
Gento's heart stirred as he opened the [Many Children, Many Blessings] interface.
[Partner No.3: Mikoto Uchiha]
[Aptitude: S]
[Claimable: S-rank Family Treasure Chest ×1]
Without a second thought, he chose to claim it.
[Ding! S-rank Family Treasure Chest successfully claimed. Open now?]
"Open."
[Opening treasure chest, distributing rewards…]
[Reward 1: Reanimation Card ×1]
⟩ Consuming this card can revive a person. This technique originates from a forbidden technique of the Hidden Sand Village, converting the user's life force into the soul of the deceased, allowing them to return to the living world. In the original story, Granny Chiyo used this technique at the cost of her own life to restore Gaara. This card has solidified the technique, allowing it to be used without any cost, requiring no consumption of the user's life force.
[Reward 2: Large increase in Chakra]
[Integrating into the Host's body…]
As soon as the words fell, Gento felt a vast surge of energy flood into his body.
"This is… precious life energy!"
That energy coursed through every meridian, filling every cell.
Gento closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
Though his meridians swelled slightly, it wasn't uncomfortable; rather, it brought a deeply satisfying sense of fullness.
He opened his eyes, overjoyed.
This newly increased Chakra was actually equal to the total amount he originally possessed.
In other words, the amount of Chakra in his body had doubled!
From now on, when using powerful ninjutsu, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of Chakra.
Looking at the Reanimation Card in his hand and feeling the surging Chakra within his body, Gento couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
This Mangekyo Dojutsu Copy Card had been well worth it!
One S-rank reward had brought two S-rank rewards, along with Mikoto herself.
Simply perfect.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of his gains, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"You really are a complete pervert. You won't even spare your subordinate's wife."
Gento turned around and saw Pakura standing at the doorway at some point.
Her arms were crossed over her chest, her face filled with disdain.
Clearly, the commotion between him and Mikoto had been heard by her.
Gento narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous:
"Looks like you need to be taught a lesson."
As his words fell, he quickly formed hand seals:
"Yin Sealing: Slave Mark!"
Pakura's expression changed as she instinctively covered her lower abdomen.
The next moment, the heart-shaped mark began to heat up.
Shortly after, Lightning-Attribute Chakra surged out from the mark, instantly spreading throughout her body.
"Ahhh!"
Pakura cried out, her body going limp as she collapsed onto the messy floor.
The Lightning-Attribute Chakra rampaged through her body.
She curled up on the ground, her body trembling and convulsing uncontrollably.
"Mm… ah…"
She tried to grit her teeth and endure it, but the raging lightning inside her was unbearable.
Broken moans still slipped out from between her teeth.
When the Lightning-Attribute Chakra finally receded, Pakura lay limp on the ground, her hair disheveled, fine sweat beading on her forehead.
Gento walked over and looked down at her from above, a smile curling at his lips.
He bent down and grabbed her ankle:
"I wasn't satisfied just now. I'll practice some more taijutsu with you."
…
An hour later.
Gento walked out of his house looking refreshed.
The side quest had already been completed, meaning the Mission Hall had accumulated one hundred completed tasks.
Perfect timing to go take a look.
He passed through the clan's main street and headed toward the Mission Hall.
From afar, people were coming and going at the entrance.
Many clan members entered and exited, and faint sounds of conversation and mission handovers could be heard from inside.
After watching for a while, Gento nodded and turned toward the Clan Head's Office.
Just as he sat down behind the desk, there was a knock on the door.
Fugaku's urgent voice came from outside:
"Clan Head, something's wrong!"
