Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 118 : Shocked Konoha Executives

Next Day

Tsunade woke up early.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a haggard reflection staring back. Dark circles hung heavily under her eyes.

Fortunately, she was a medical ninja and knew how to take care of her body. Plus, she always prioritized self-care.

Last night, however, she barely got any sleep.

Kushina's screams had been way too loud.

It was like a festival of fireworks.

Crackling, bursting—one after another.

How could Tsunade possibly sleep through that?

She usually slept with her hands outside the blanket.

But last night was different. Tsunade was a young woman, after all.

She had no choice but to tuck her hands under the quilt.

The battle next door had been too intense, so she could only fight her own battle.

Do it yourself. Be self-reliant. Keep yourself satisfied.

Boom, boom, boom.

A series of rapid, rhythmic knocks sounded on the door.

Tsunade opened it and found Kushina standing there.

Unlike Tsunade, Kushina looked radiant.

Her face was glowing, practically shimmering with energy.

"Hey, Tsunade-nee, you look awful. Didn't sleep last night?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

Was Kushina deliberately showing off? Or was she just pretending to be oblivious?

With a roll of her eyes, Tsunade scoffed.

"Hmph. You think? It's all because of the great things you and Minato were doing last night."

Kushina touched her long red hair and laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe, didn't you say it yourself, Tsunade-nee? If we don't go crazy now, we'll grow old too soon!"

Tsunade sighed and glanced around.

Something was off.

Kushina was here, but there was no sign of Kurama.

"Hey, Kushina, where's that fox?"

Kushina grinned.

"Tsunade-nee, don't tell me you forgot. Mikoto went to meet those old guys. Kurama left already. Hurry up and get ready!"

Tsunade flicked Kushina's forehead lightly.

"You idiot. You knew there was a big battle today, but you still went wild last night."

Kushina simply blinked, her smile teasing.

"No matter how crazy I get, I could never be as crazy as you—risking your life for a bet."

Tsunade clicked her tongue.

For a stupid bet, she had split her own body in half. That was definitely crazier.

Meanwhile, at the Outer Edge of Konoha

Uchiha Mikoto stood tall, her expression calm.

Before her, four of Konoha's most powerful figures sat in silence—Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.

They had been waiting for her.

Mikoto observed them carefully.

On the surface, their expressions were composed.

But beneath that calm façade... she could sense it.

Tension.

Caution.

Everything was unfolding exactly as he had predicted.

The Uchiha clan had grown stronger.

The other clans in the village had started to trust them.

Their reputation was no longer one of arrogance and isolation.

In the past, the Uchiha were known for their superiority complex, caring only about their own power and interests.

But now? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Things had changed.

During the Third Shinobi War, under Mikoto's leadership, the Uchiha clan had not only achieved countless military victories but had also rescued many Konoha ninjas, forging alliances that once seemed impossible.

Their influence was spreading.

And the higher-ups of Konoha could no longer ignore them.

The Hidden Threat

In the original timeline, the Uchiha had foolishly believed they could stand against all of Konoha alone.

It was impossible.

But this time, things were different.

Hiruzen had heard Danzo's concerns.

He had summoned Mikoto to test the Uchiha's loyalty.

And if they showed even a hint of rebellion...

They would be wiped out.

A dragnet had been set outside the village.

Danzo's personal forces, along with Hiruzen's ANBU, had set countless traps.

Anyone who resisted would be eliminated on the spot.

Hiruzen spoke first.

"Mikoto, do you know why we called you here?"

Mikoto's expression remained neutral.

"I assume it must be something important, Hokage-sama."

Danzo sneered.

"I sent two of my subordinates to summon you. But they haven't returned. Do you know why?"

Mikoto didn't even blink.

"I don't know."

She lied effortlessly.

Even if she did know, she would never admit it.

If they were asking, it meant they had no proof.

Her people had cleaned up every trace of evidence.

Danzo's subordinates—Aburame Ryoma and Kai—had vanished without a single clue left behind.

"Hmph," Danzo growled. "Don't play dumb with me, Uchiha Mikoto. My men were eliminated by your people, weren't they? Are the Uchiha planning a coup?"

His voice was ice-cold.

Danzo was an old fox.

He hated when people tried to outmaneuver him.

But without evidence, he was powerless.

"Ahem," Hiruzen interrupted, raising a hand. "Danzo, remember your position."

As the leader of Root, Danzo had influence.

But blatantly accusing without proof was beneath his station.

Hiruzen turned back to Mikoto.

"Let's not talk about Danzo's subordinates for now."

His tone was calm, but his eyes held sharp intent.

"Instead, tell me about your Mangekyō Sharingan."

Mikoto smiled.

A cold, knowing smile.

They had guessed she possessed it.

And now, they wanted confirmation.

She let them wait for a moment, letting the tension build.

Then, she answered.

"Yes. I have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu all stiffened.

Their suspicions had been confirmed.

Now, they were on high alert.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Mikoto was no longer just a high-ranking Jōnin.

She was a Kage-level shinobi.

Danzo scowled.

"Tch. Then tell us—what abilities do your eyes possess?"

Hiruzen leaned forward.

"This is important for the village, Mikoto. If you truly value Konoha, you should share this information."

His voice was kind. Understanding.

But beneath that warmth was deep-seated paranoia.

They needed to know.

After all, in the original work someone openly revealed their Mangekyō ability...

Uchiha Shisui had ended up dead.

Eyes gouged out.

Danzo had stolen one.

And Shisui had given the other to Itachi.

In the end, Shisui had committed suicide in a river, all in the name of protecting Konoha.

And Itachi?

He had inherited that same blind loyalty.

The famous words echoed:

"No matter how dark Konoha becomes, I will always be Uchiha Itachi of the Leaf."

He had abandoned his clan for a village that had already decided their fate.

Kurama knew this history well.

And now Mikoto facing the same situation

But she was not Shisui.

She was not Itachi.

And she would not make their mistakes.

A slow smile spread across her lips.

"You want to know my Mangekyō Sharingan's ability?"

Hiruzen nodded.

Mikoto's Sharingan spun.

Then—

"No, Danzo, MOVE!"

Hiruzen suddenly sensed something was wrong.

But it was too late.

A vortex of space distorted beneath Danzo's chair—

Stone shattered into a million pieces.

Danzo barely escaped, pushed aside by Hiruzen.

Mikoto chuckled.

"Ah, Hokage-sama. As expected of you."

Her scarlet eyes gleamed.

"This is my Mangekyō Sharingan ability."

Her voice was soft.

Deadly.

"I wonder... do you like it?"
