Chapter 171: Natsuo's Unexpected Request

Mikoto opened her mouth as if to say something but stopped.

On the other hand, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but say: "No, it's not because the former clan leader, Fugaku, didn't have vision. You can't say it like that."

"The main reason why the Uchiha clan declined is mainly due to Uchiha Itachi, Mikoto's eldest son. He killed all the members of the Uchiha clan, including the clan leader Fugaku and his wife Mikoto."

"The only members of the Uchiha clan left alone were Natsuo-sama and Uchiha Sasuke, the younger brother whose life Itachi spared."

Mikoto sighed lightly and closed her eyes.

Kushina widened her eyes. 'Damn, is that Itachi guy so fierce that he wipes out an entire clan?'

Even Pakura couldn't help but look at Mikoto. In her time, the Uchiha clan was a very well-known and prestigious clan in Konoha, with many elites and talented individuals. And yet, it was actually wiped out by the son of this seemingly gentle woman next to her?

"Itachi has his own reasons." Mikoto said after a moment of silence and fell silent again.

Pakura and Kushina narrowed their eyes, realizing that things were not as simple as they seemed. But after all, it had been many years since their deaths.

"I'm not interested in your Uchiha business, but if you can really bring me back to life, I don't mind helping you revive the Uchiha clan." Pakura's expression was cold.

"I agree to your deal."

"I agree too!" Kushina quickly added. "I also want to see Naruto! And besides, you are at least a relative of Mikoto, so I will definitely help you!"

"But how can we help you revive the Uchiha clan?"

Kushina blinked her eyes and suggested: "Since you can revive people, I suggest you bring back the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. He is very powerful, and once revived, he will return to the position of Hokage and surely be able to help you!"

This suggestion was filled with selfishness.

"Fugaku can also be revived." Mikoto interjected. "Natsuo, both Fugaku and I are members of the Uchiha clan, and we will definitely help you!"

Natsuo smiled lightly and shook his head. "No, Minato and Fugaku cannot help me, only you can."

"What do you want us to do?" Pakura frowned and asked.

Namikaze Minato, who has the authority, cannot help, and former Uchiha clan leader Fugaku cannot help either. What can they do then?

"I want you to bear children for me." Natsuo said without any hesitation, his face still serious.

Mikoto widened her eyes upon hearing this. Pakura's face also trembled with surprise. Kushina was even more shocked, her mouth wide open.

"What did you say?!"

"Say it again?"

"I need your help to have children." Natsuo said seriously. "I believe the biggest problem of the Uchiha clan is the scarcity of our population."

"The combination of excellent parents makes it easier to give birth to excellent children... I need your help!"

That's right! This is Natsuo's goal. Nowadays, there are not many Kage-level kunoichi in the Shinobi World, and only Konan and Nii Yugito are at that level.

Since in the mortal world there are no more options. Natsuo decided to find a way from the Pure Land. He has set his sights on those deceased Kage-level kunoichi.

"Natsuo, are you joking?" Mikoto's expression became extremely stiff, and she forced a laugh. "Stop joking, this is not the time to joke with you."

"I'm not joking." Natsuo said seriously. "The number of Uchiha clan members killed by Itachi is too much. Although I have been trying to increase the population in these years, I still cannot increase the number significantly."

"I summoned you with great effort just to have more children and strengthen the Uchiha clan!" Natsuo was more direct.

"But both Kushina and I are already married!" Mikoto couldn't help but say.

Kushina also nodded repeatedly.

Natsuo shook his head and said with a sacrificial attitude: "For the sake of the Uchiha clan, I don't care."

'But we do mind!' Mikoto and Kushina's mouths twitched.

However, after Pakura frowned, she immediately said without hesitation: "Okay, as long as you help me resurrect, I will help you!"

Her eyes were filled with anger. The heroine of Sunagakure had died long ago, and she, who had been betrayed, had only one purpose left: Revenge! Revenge against Sunagakure!

"As long as I can seek revenge against Sunagakure, I can do anything!" Pakura spoke decisively and without hesitation. Compared to the two married women, she, who had always been single, didn't care about such matters at all.

However, Natsuo awkwardly smiled and said: "Um, this is a bit difficult..."

"What's difficult about it? Aren't you from Konoha?" Pakura frowned. "If I'm going to seek revenge against Sunagakure, it will also benefit Konoha, right?"

"Besides, as long as you let me go and seek revenge, I have the confidence to kill the Kazekage of Sunagakure single-handedly." Flashes of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she clenched her teeth tightly.

It was Sunagakure who had betrayed Pakura, catching her off guard. She had been lured into an ambush set by the Kiri shinobi, where she was directly killed by a wave of attacks.

Although it seemed like several years had passed, Pakura was confident that no one in Sunagakure was a match for her. Of course, she was referring to a one-on-one fight. Pakura was currently considering how to lure Rasa out of Sunagakure…

"That's not the issue." Natsuo touched his nose. "The main problem is that Rasa is now my father-in-law."

"Although I don't really care about this father-in-law, there's no reason to let someone else go and kill him."

Pakura is definitely more important to Natsuo than Rasa. But Temari is still his future wife. Both sides are important, and he can't let Temari down, right?

"You married Rasa's daughter?" Pakura widened her eyes. "But aren't you a ninja from Konoha?"

Can Sunagakure and Konoha really form an alliance through marriage?

"Cough... You may not know." Yakushi Kabuto stepped forward and said, "But Natsuo-sama is currently recognized as the strongest shinobi in the World."

"He defeated the Fifth Mizukage, crippled the Fourth Raikage, dragged the Eight-Tails back to Konoha, and also defeated Sunagakure led by Rasa..."

"Rasa sent his daughter to the Uchiha clan as collateral to keep the peace."

"And Natsuo-sama is not only the strongest in the shinobi world, but also the biggest contributor to the resurgence of the Uchiha clan."

"The last part you can see for yourself... All the children around here are descendants of Natsuo-sama."

Yakushi Kabuto pointed to the houses within the Uchiha clan residence as he spoke.

The women instinctively used their perception ninjutsu to scan the area and were immediately shocked.

'Damn, how come there are more than a hundred children here? And why do nearly a hundred women resemble the children? Are they all his biological children?'

Even Mikoto, who knew Natsuo, looked at him with a face that said, 'So this is the real Natsuo.'

The three women fell silent.

In the end, Kushina spoke without hesitation: "I'm sorry, but I can't help with this favor."

"Please bring me back to life, and I will repay you with something else."

"I don't need anything else." Natsuo shook his head. "Aside from women, I don't care about money or ninjutsu."

The Uchiha clan's wealth is growing, and he doesn't need anything more.

"Well, let's forget about it then." Kushina shrugged. "You can put me back now, I won't help you with this."

Mikoto also said: "Natsuo, I'm sorry. I don't mind helping you with other things, but this... However, if you can revive Fugaku, he will definitely help you strengthen the Uchiha clan."

Pakura also bluntly said: "I won't help you either, son-in-law of Rasa!"

"Based solely on the fact that he sold me to Kirigakure, I can't forgive him!"

There is no doubt that all three of them chose to refuse. Natsuo sighed lightly, but this was within his expectations. The stronger a person is, the stronger her personality and will.

A carefree life within the Uchiha clan? The 'honor' of being the wife of the strongest person in the shinobi world? It's all useless!

Even if Natsuo offers a sky-high price, the three people in front of him will not compromise.

However...

Natsuo looked at Pakura and said: "Miss Pakura, do you know what Rasa's life is like now?"

"Heh, what kind of life can Rasa have?" Pakura scoffed. "He is a shadow who betrayed his fellow villagers. I was really wrong to support him back then."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth slightly, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes. "With his character, it would be fortunate if Sunagakure did not perish under his leadership!"

It must be said that Pakura's assumption is quite accurate.

Rasa didn't handle Sunagakure well. Operation Destroy Konoha was not the result of Sunagakure's proactive attack, but rather desperate actions in the face of Sunagakure's increasingly difficult situation. And this is the result of the incompetence of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa!

Even this desperate counterattack was quite lackluster. If Natsuo had not intervened, Rasa would not have even reached the Konoha battlefield, since Orochimaru would have killed him before everything started. He almost became a tool for Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation.

However...

"Now Rasa is known as the strongest Kazekage and his prestige in Sunagakure is unmatched." Natsuo said with a smile. "After all, he led Sunagakure and gained many benefits at very little cost in the Fourth Shinobi World War..."

"A mere Rasa did that?" Pakura seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help but say: "What is he? How can he lead Sunagakure to profit from the war?"

"He is certainly nothing special, but I can't resist acting with him." Natsuo smiled and said: "After all, he is my father-in-law. Rasa is now recognized as one of the strongest Kage-level experts, second only to someone like me."

"Countless Suna Shinobi are willing to die for him, considering him the strongest Kazekage, even surpassing the First Kazekage in prestige."

"Don't mention the fact that you were betrayed by him, not many Suna Shinobi know about it."

"If you come forward and expose this matter, believe it or not, the Suna shinobi will also say one after another: Pakura, you are despicable. What's wrong with sacrificing some shinobi for a mission? The Fourth Kazekage needs you to sacrifice yourself, Why do not you do it?"

Pakura widened his eyes. "That's impossible!"

However, Natsuo laughed and revealed the details of Rasa's 'great achievements'.

With all this series of great achievements, how could the Suna Shinobi not be a fan of Rasa?

Pakura listened in astonishment. Sunagakure being the weakest village among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Pakura also understood why the Suna Shinobi would be so excited by the sudden appearance of such a powerful Kazekage.

'Why does my enemy live so freely? While I have to keep the pumpkin stuck in the sand?' A burning rage filled Pakura's heart, wishing to go to Sunagakure right now and personally kill this so-called 'Strongest Kazekage'.

Natsuo laughed and turned his head to look at Mikoto: "Mikoto, do you know that Sasuke sees Itachi as the murderer of his parents?"

"He trains hard every day, he even goes to the battlefield to gain experience. All in preparation for the day when he can take revenge on Itachi."

"And unfortunately, Itachi plans to die at Sasuke's hands as a missing-nin, in hopes of turning Sasuke into a hero..."

"Although I killed the Third Hokage and Danzo, Sasuke doesn't know the secret behind the Uchiha clan's extermination."

"If he had killed Itachi and then realized that his beloved brother was not the main culprit, but was just someone who was manipulated and decided to die by his hands, what would become of him?"

Mikoto's expression changed upon hearing this. As a mother, how could she stand to see her children killing each other? 'Itachi, you promised me that you would take care of Sasuke. Is this how you take care of him? Planning to die by Sasuke's hands?'

If Sasuke remained ignorant, it would be fine. But as he grows, he will eventually learn the truth behind the Uchiha clan's extermination. How could he accept the fact that he killed his beloved brother?

Itachi will die! Sasuke will also collapse!

"Natsuo, I beg you!" Mikoto grabbed Natsuo's arm, her face filled with pleading. "Please, as members of the same clan, can you explain Itachi's suffering to Sasuke? Can you stop them from killing each other?"

"Consider it as payment for the care the clan gave you back then. Please help me!"

"I can tell Sasuke about this matter, and I can also stop Itachi's suicidal thoughts." Natsuo nodded with a smile.

However, before Mikoto could smile, Natsuo continued: "But a few days ago, I saw Itachi and noticed that his physical condition was very deteriorated..."

"Itachi expects to die at Sasuke's hands, so he definitely doesn't want to be in his best condition when facing him, plus he absolutely doesn't want Sasuke to know that he's letting him win."

"So it seems like he's deliberately indulging his illness, allowing the disease to erode his body."

"Even if we stop their brotherly killing, Itachi won't live much longer..."

"The root cause of his illness is the side effects from excessive use of Mangekyo, unless he obtains a pair of Mangekyo and evolves into Eternal Mangekyo, otherwise there is no cure for this illness."

Mikoto's expression gradually became desperate. There is nothing more distressing for a mother than hearing the news of her own child's death.

"But fortunately, I have Fugaku's eyes here." Natsuo suddenly smiled and took out a container: "Mikoto, you should know too. The eyes of the leader of the Fugaku clan are the Mangekyo."

"Also, being Itachi's father, they have a strong blood relationship. So the transplant will be very fluid..."

'Those eyes can save Itachi!' Mikoto went from extreme grief to joy in an instant.

However, in the next second, Natsuo pushed her back into the abyss: "But this is a precious trophy I obtained by attacking one of the Root's bases. Mikoto, I can accept your previous request, but I will not easily give these eyes away."

Mikoto opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't know what to say.
