Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

Mikoto sat in the courtyard of her home with a worried look on her face, holding the letter that Fugaku had asked his clan members to bring back.

The core is just one sentence, asking her to convey the message to the Hokage that Uchiha Fugaku will never betray Konoha.

It was easy to find Lord Makoto. During this period, she often went to the Hokage's residence while taking care of the baby. Sometimes she would stay overnight at the invitation of Kushina and the other two. Naturally, she had many opportunities to meet Kato Makoto.

Moreover, given her friendship with Kato Makoto, it would be no problem for her to go directly to the Hokage's office.

What she was worried about was Fugaku. Although he had awakened the Mangekyō, most of the clan members who went on the expedition were hawkish factions within the clan. If these people really wanted to secretly collude with Kumogakure and stab Konoha in the back, it would be impossible for Fugaku to guard them around the clock.

There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

There are many cases of the weak defeating the strong in the ninja world, and the bloody mist of Kirigakure is a bloody reality.

Mikoto was worried that her husband would be coerced by this group of people into doing something against his will.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"

Itachi carried little Sasuke to the courtyard and saw his mother sitting blankly on a wooden chair. He called out to her twice.

He hadn't had time to change out of his training clothes yet, and when he came back from training he heard Sasuke crying in the crib, but strangely there was no sign of his mother.

I thought my mother had gone out for something.

"Oh, it's okay... training is over, Itachi."

Mikoto reached out and stroked her son's soft hair, then took Sasuke from his arms.

"Well, Brother Shisui is going to the Land of Hot Springs tomorrow, so today we were busy packing and preparing, so the training ended early."

"Really? Hokage-sama agreed for him to go to Fugaku?"

"Brother Shisui said he was going to Lord Shinnosuke's place, because two seniors, Hatake Kakashi and Uzuki Yugao, were also traveling with him."

Mikoto was stunned when she heard Itachi's answer.

No matter how young or weak Shisui is, he is still a disciple of the Hokage. His status is there. If he goes to the Uchiha side of the Land of Hot Springs, it can at least show the Hokage's trust in the Uchiha.

Now, Shisui is asked to go to the Sarutobi clan, which shows that Kato Makoto has at least some concerns about the Uchiha clan.

No, she had to go and talk to Lord Cheng quickly.

"Itachi, take care of Sasuke first. Mom has to go out for something."

After leaving a message, Mikoto hurriedly changed into formal clothes and rushed to the Hokage's office.

When she arrived, Kato Makoto was listening to reports from two garrison commanders.

"Hokage, the cooperation between the Konoha Ninja Army stationed in the Rain Country and the Hidden Rain Village in running a school has yielded fruitful results. A large number of outstanding Genin have been trained to fill the combat formations, and most of the Rain Ninja have also returned to school for retraining.

They have carefully studied the Will of Fire, understood the deep friendship between the Fire and Rain countries, and have enthusiastically signed up to participate in national defense construction, ready to contribute to the security of the Fire and Rain countries at any time..."

In the morning, Bai Yun handed the performance report that he had worked on all night to Kato Makoto. While Kato Makoto was reading it, he reported the main work by picking out the key points.

"Yes, you did a good job. Let the successor continue to implement this policy."

"Hokage-sama, the Grass Country garrison has also completed its set goals. This time they brought back two battalions, and the front line still has sufficient troops."

Mimura Yejuan didn't want to fall behind Baiyun Zaojian, so he quickly handed his report to Kato Makoto with both hands.

"Well, you all did a great job."

Kato Makoto recalled the two commanders and also drew two battalions of ninjas from the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass respectively as a mobile force in case of emergency.

A few hundred elite soldiers are enough to deal with possible emergencies.

Bang Bang Bang!

Just when he was about to reward the meritorious officials, the scene at the office door appeared in Tansheng's eyes, and then there was a knock on the door.

"The formation you brought back will not be disbanded. It will be temporarily rotated and stationed in the north of Konoha."

After giving a few instructions, Kato Makoto asked the two to go down first, and then called Mikoto in.

Two elite jonin with murderous intent passed by the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, making Mikoto, who had not been on a mission for a long time, feel uneasy and shudder instinctively.

If I remember correctly, these two people were commanders of the border troops. Why did they return to Konoha at the same time?

"Mikoto, you rarely come to the Hokage's office. Is there something important going on?"

Kato Makoto stood up and poured a glass of warm water for Uchiha Mikoto and said with a smile.

"After all, the office is where you work, and I don't dare to come here and disturb you casually."

The young man's words brought Mikoto back to her senses. She took the cup of water with both hands and slowly sat down on the sofa in the reception area. Before she sat down, her eyes were suddenly swept by a cold light. She looked over and found that it was the Broken Wind Ninja Sword on the sword rack that was reflecting the sunlight.

Knife?

A flash of electricity passed through Mikoto's mind, her eyes widened, and she instantly understood Kato Makoto's intention of calling the garrison back.

She couldn't help but put her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths of air to suppress the fear from her mind.

There is no time more capable of allowing Mikoto to deeply appreciate Kato Makoto's character than this moment. Unlike Namikaze Minato, he will never let his friendship in life affect his judgment of the overall situation.

When it's time to raise the butcher knife, I will show no mercy.

Thinking of this, the wife of the Uchiha clan leader bit her lip, and after using the pain to calm herself down, she slowly stood up, walked to the coffee table, and knelt down in front of Kato Makoto.

"Mikoto, what are you doing?"

"Please understand, Hokage-sama, my husband has no intention of betraying Konoha. The clan members just want a bridge to communicate with the village leaders and a fair status to participate in village affairs."

Kato Makoto held Uchiha Mikoto's arm with his hand, intending to pull her up, but after hearing what she said, he frowned and sat back down.

"You mean, we, the Konoha high-ranking officials, are ostracizing the Uchiha?"

"I, I don't mean that. Uchiha has sacrificed a lot for the safety of Konoha. For the stability of the village, they have also gritted their teeth and endured the criticism of the village. I just hope that when Hokage considers matters related to Uchiha, he can stand in our perspective and consider us a little."

Uchiha Mikoto was worthy of being born into a wealthy family. After calming down from her initial panic, she spoke more and more clearly.

Her voice might be trembling, but her tone and attitude were firm enough to make people look at her in a different light.

"Haven't the successive Hokage considered the Uchiha enough? The first Hokage promised to return the Hokage position to the Uchiha, but was driven to exhaustion by Uchiha Madara. The second Hokage accepted the Uchiha genius as his disciple, but Uchiha Setsuna rebelled again. The third and fourth Hokage treated the Uchiha with kindness, but Minato still fell under the Mangekyō."

It is unreasonable to unilaterally say that the Konoha high-level officials are sorry to the Uchiha.

According to the things listed by Kato Makoto, the deaths of two of the four Hokage were directly related to the Uchiha clan. If it happened in any village, the clan would have been wiped out several times.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku are such powerful families. After the Third Raikage took the throne, is there any trace of them left in the ninja world?

"That was a mistake made by a few Uchiha. Not all Uchiha have delusions."

When Uchiha Mikoto heard Kato Makoto's ruthless and murderous words, her body seemed to lose strength. Her long hair fell down, covering half of her trembling shoulders.

She didn't know if what she was doing was right, but for the sake of Sasuke, who was just learning to speak, and for Itachi, who had big dreams, she had to persevere.

"For example, I, Uchiha Mikoto, don't think that way."

The woman raised her head firmly, bit her lip and looked into Kato Makoto's eyes.

"As the Hokage, I am responsible for the village. As long as the Uchiha do not rebel, you will still be villagers of Konoha."

The Hokage's office was silent for a long time before Kato Makoto's voice was heard. When Mikoto heard his words, she breathed a sigh of relief and her body softened, and she fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Kato Makoto quickly helped her up.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

After the anxious mood disappeared, the beauty with long black hair leaned on the sofa with the force supporting her, as if she had no bones in her body.

"I just don't want the blood of my Konoha companions on my ninja sword."
