233 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger
🕑 Added 2025-12-31 06:14:01 +0000 UTCKairen turned his head, his eyes turning blood-red, the immense pressure of the Mangekyō Sharingan condensing onto Fugaku.
"Is that so?!"
That demon-like presence was like calling for help in deep water—so oppressive it made one want to retch.
Fugaku endured it with difficulty and stiffly nodded.
Kairen smiled lightly. "I have no interest in the clan head position."
He could tell that what Fugaku said was not what he truly thought.
"So that's how it is! What a pity!"
Fugaku let out a faint sigh of relief. It was just polite talk—he hadn't expected Kairen to take it so seriously.
Thinking carefully, if Kairen joined the Uchiha clan, with his power and bloodline, the entire clan would obey him without question.
Power is intoxicating. From ancient times to now, who has ever willingly given up their own power?
Those abdications recorded in history were nothing more than polite phrasing.
"Why has Kairen-kun come this time?" Fugaku asked.
Kairen lightly sipped his tea and set the cup down. Mikoto poured more tea beside him.
In that brief crossing of movements, Kairen subtly brushed the back of Mikoto's hand.
As if jolted by electricity, Mikoto recalled sleeping in Kairen's embrace.
Distracted, she knocked over Kairen's teacup, spilling tea onto his pants.
Mikoto hurriedly apologized, "Kairen-kun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Bowing, apologizing, offering her ample figure to Kairen.
Fugaku frowned and lightly scolded, "How could you be so careless?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mikoto continued apologizing.
Feeling guilty, Kairen quickly said, "Don't blame her. Let's return to the main topic!"
In ancient Japanese culture, before the clan head, women were like slaves, yet praised by the world as 'gentle.'
That was why there was such a strong backlash in modern times, giving rise to so many artistic films.
Kairen said to Fugaku, "Tomorrow I plan to… stage a coup!"
"Clatter!"
This time it wasn't Mikoto's carelessness—Fugaku was so shocked that he dropped his teacup to the floor.
Mikoto beside him was also greatly startled.
A coup… simply put, rebellion, flipping the table.
Fugaku hurriedly stood up, looked left and right outside the door, and after seeing no one eavesdropping, sat back down.
He said to Kairen with extreme seriousness, "Kairen-kun is not joking!"
Kairen laughed once.
"I plan to wait until you die, then marry the madam!"
"Kairen-kun jokes well!" Fugaku smiled, the earlier oppression completely gone.
Kairen said very seriously, "I'm not joking. The madam is so beautiful—I can't wait until the next life!"
Fugaku laughed again, knowing Kairen was praising his wife's beauty.
Mikoto said nothing at the side, her feelings a mixed jar. Fugaku thought Kairen was joking.
But Mikoto didn't think so. Kairen truly wanted to…
For some reason, Mikoto thought again of that strange dream. In the dream, the man was Kairen, not Fugaku. Could it mean…
No! Impossible. I can't be that kind of woman!
Kairen took a sip of tea and said,
"Fugaku-kun, tell me… with my strength, can I shake the rule of the village's upper ranks?!"
Fugaku thought carefully.
Wood Release, the Mangekyō Sharingan, the power of the Nine-Tails, and Smoke Transformation Genjutsu that rendered physical attacks ineffective…
There really was no one in Konoha who could deal with Kairen, which was why the village's strange situation had continued until now.
Kairen continued, "Fugaku-kun, I'm telling you this plan only because of our good relationship. Now it's time to choose a side, Fugaku-kun!"
Fugaku fell silent, his breathing growing heavier.
The Uchiha clan had pursued power for so long, and now a once-in-a-millennium opportunity was right before them.
As long as they rose together with Kairen, the old order would be shattered, and the era of Uchiha prosperity would be at hand.
Clan… prosperity… glory…
Fugaku thought of many things. A man in this world should establish a great undertaking between heaven and earth.
Watching the changes in Fugaku's expression, Kairen knew his heart was stirred.
In the anime, Uchiha Fugaku was a man with an extremely strong desire for power—sending his son undercover into the Anbu, plotting a coup…
But in the end, his ability was limited. Even with the Mangekyō, he was no more than a fish in a pond, toyed with by Konoha's upper ranks.
Though his ability was limited, he still had merits—for example, a beautiful wife.
Sadly, one that attracted covetous eyes!
Coupled with a short-lived fate, Kairen did not think highly of Fugaku's future.
Fugaku stood up and bowed to Kairen.
"This matter is of great importance. I must discuss it with the clan elders. Please trouble Kairen-kun to wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fugaku hurried out the door.
Kairen stared blankly at Fugaku's departing figure. Leaving such a beautiful wife alone at home—was he not afraid of attracting covetous eyes?!
...
Only Kairen and Mikoto were left in the room.
Kairen stared straight at Mikoto, who was kneeling beside him, his naked gaze completely undisguised.
He stopped pretending. Mikoto was the kind of gentle woman—like Hinata—who would keep all grievances and offenses in her heart and never tell others.
Under Kairen's wolfish gaze, Mikoto grew flustered, always feeling that the next second Kairen would pounce and devour her.
Her fair cheeks flushed, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Ka… Kairen-kun, can… can you not look at me like that?"
"Sorry, I was abrupt."
Kairen nodded, his black eyes directly turning into the Byakugan.
"I should look like this!"
Mikoto widened her eyes, staring at Kairen's white pupils.
"W-White eyes!"
Mikoto quickly came to her senses and hurriedly covered her body with both hands.
"Kairen-kun, don't look—quickly turn off your Byakugan!"
Kairen pouted shamelessly.
"My eyes are on my body. Where I want to look is my business!"
"Kairen-kun, you're a hooligan!"
Mikoto had never seen such a rogue in her life. She hurriedly stood up, trying to escape this villain.
Kairen suddenly grabbed Mikoto's wrist. The Byakugan faded, revealing his clear black-and-white pupils.
Mikoto struggled with all her might to pull her hand free, but she couldn't resist Kairen's immense strength at all.
With one hand, Kairen pulled Mikoto into his arms.
Mikoto looked as if she were about to cry.
"Kairen-kun, don't! I already have a husband and children!"
Holding Mikoto, Kairen gently inhaled her fragrance.
"There aren't many things in the Uchiha clan that catch my eye. Only you—I care about you deeply!"
Mikoto struggled hard, yet could never escape Kairen's grasp.
Kairen looked into Mikoto's eyes, an overbearing will that allowed no refusal flowing between them.
"Tell me… if I were to force it, who could stop me?"
Mikoto fell silent. She thought of Kairen's power. If he acted recklessly, there would be no one in this world who could stop him.
She tried to persuade him.
"Kairen-kun, my youth is gone. In the end I'll grow old and faded. Don't waste your time on me."
Kairen also agreed.
"Yes. A woman's greatest enemy in life is aging. When youth is gone, she becomes something that can be discarded at will."
Mikoto fell silent.
"When you look into a bronze mirror, that monster covered in wrinkles will devour your heart."
"Kairen-kun, stop!" Mikoto hurriedly interrupted.
Kairen smiled and gently squeezed Mikoto's small hand.
"My blood contains longevity factors that can grant you an unimaginable youth."
"Come with me. Follow me, and I'll make you wake up flushed with excitement even in your sleep!"
Kairen possessed the Asura Sage Body, containing vast life force, and his inherited genes also carried tremendous vitality.
Every time Tsunade used it, she said it was good!
