"Sister Mikoto, you eat too. Don't be so polite, it makes me feel embarrassed," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a smile.
"Alright," Uchiha Mikoto said with a smile on her face.
"By the way, we've known each other for so long, but I still don't know how you and Senior Fugaku got together."
"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."
Hearing her husband's name, Uchiha Mikoto felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, but she quickly shook off the feeling.
She was doing it all for Sasuke, for Itachi, for the Uchiha clan. She had no choice. Fugaku would surely forgive her.
"It's not inconvenient at all."
"At that time, I was the most outstanding female ninja in the Uchiha clan, and Fugaku was the most outstanding male ninja."
"The elders played matchmaker, and we gradually got together," Uchiha Mikoto said as she poured wine.
"I see."
"Senior Fugaku is outstanding in every aspect, but his appearance is a bit fierce and serious, which is quite a contrast to your beautiful and gentle appearance, Sister Mikoto," Kageyama Kogetsu said, as if in a sudden realization, raising his cup to clink with hers.
Being praised, Uchiha Mikoto smiled radiantly. "You're right. Fugaku's appearance does make people feel pressured."
"But for a female ninja, no, for a woman choosing a partner, looks are not the first consideration."
"If we're talking about looks, I prefer someone handsome and heroic like Kogetsu."
Being flirted with, Kageyama Kogetsu chuckled. "Then I'm truly honored. Unfortunately..."
"Unfortunately what?" Uchiha Mikoto chimed in at the right time.
"Alas... unfortunately, when you were active in the ninja world, I hadn't been born yet. Otherwise, I would definitely have competed with Senior Fugaku," Kageyama Kogetsu said, shaking his head and sighing.
Uchiha Mikoto's pretty face flushed, and her ears burned. She gave him a rather charming eye roll, her tone a mix of pleasure and feigned annoyance. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
At this point in the conversation, with the wine flowing, the atmosphere had become somewhat ambiguous and romantic...
"I'm not talking nonsense. This is from the bottom of my heart," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a serious expression.
"I think you're just talking nonsense. A penalty drink, a penalty drink," Uchiha Mikoto said, her face shy, her tone light and teasingly angry.
Is this a move to play hard to get?
Kageyama Kogetsu was inwardly moved but did not refuse, picking up his cup and drinking.
With the alcohol content of sake and his constitution, if he didn't want to get drunk, he could drink as much as he wanted.
The two of them chatted and drank, and before long, the bottle was empty.
"Wait a moment, I'll get more wine."
Uchiha Mikoto turned, her hands on the carpet as she crawled to the corner, revealing her graceful curves, making her even more alluring.
"Oh, you're so annoying, Kogetsu! Where are you looking?"
"Let me tell you, it's just the two of us here. You'd better not bully me," Uchiha Mikoto said, holding two bottles of wine and seeing Kageyama Kogetsu's dazed expression, she warned with a coquettish pout.
It was less of a warning and more of an invitation.
Kageyama Kogetsu was not embarrassed. He chuckled, "This is purely a look of appreciation."
"Sister Mikoto, you've dressed up so beautifully tonight. If I don't appreciate it properly, it would seem that I don't understand romance and have no taste."
"Hmph, hmph..." Uchiha Mikoto put down the wine bottle and covered her mouth, giggling. "Seeing as you're so good with words, I'll let it slide."
"Sister Mikoto, do you have any plans for the future?" Kageyama Kogetsu picked up the wine bottle and poured her a drink.
"No plans. I'll be satisfied just seeing Sasuke grow up healthy, get married, have children, and live a peaceful life."
"If possible, I hope they don't turn against each other, and that Sasuke doesn't hate Itachi," Uchiha Mikoto said with some worry.
Kageyama Kogetsu nodded slightly. "The matters between them should be left to them to resolve. I believe they have their own plans and sense of propriety."
"It's not good for you, as their mother, to interfere."
"Let's not talk about unhappy things. What are your plans for the future?"
"For example, when will you get married? When will you have children?"
"No rush. We'll talk about it in a few years. The ninja world may seem calm, but there are undercurrents."
Marriage could happen anytime, as long as he wanted. Children were even less of a rush.
He didn't really want children because with his lifespan, he didn't need them to continue his life.
However, if a woman wanted them, it wasn't out of the question. It's just that he would have to wait until he had cleaned up the ninja world. Otherwise, the environment for raising children would be too terrible.
The so-called calm was relative to Konoha. In reality, the conflicts in the ninja world had never ceased. There were no great wars, but countless small ones.
This relatively peaceful island in a chaotic and hellish world was the fundamental reason why the ninja of the various villages were willing to protect it at all costs.
"Are you, Sister Kushina, and Sister Karin all unwilling to find another partner?"
"Putting aside other things, our status alone makes it difficult to find someone."
"That may be so, but being a widow at a young age is a hard life."
"It is a bit hard, but with the hope of a child to accompany me, I can grit my teeth and endure it. A lifetime will pass."
Kageyama Kogetsu took a sip of wine. His eyes suddenly became a little hazy, and his face flushed, as if the alcohol was starting to get to him.
"Impressive. You are all extremely outstanding ninja, to be able to control your physical desires."
"If I were in your shoes, I'd probably have a hard time. I'd most likely remarry."
Uchiha Mikoto's tolerance for alcohol was not bad, but not great either. The alcohol was really getting to her head, and coupled with her original purpose, her words became bolder.
"Actually, I don't know if I can control it. After all, it hasn't been long since I lost my husband."
"As far as I know, Kushina and Karin can't completely control it either..." Uchiha Mikoto's pretty face was flushed, her eyes sparkling as she spoke meaningfully.
"Then what do they do?" Kageyama Kogetsu's eyes widened with curiosity.
"Tch, you bad guy. You have two girlfriends, how can you not understand?" Uchiha Mikoto said, pointing a slender, fair index finger at him from a distance with a coquettish pout.
"I really don't understand," Kageyama Kogetsu said with an innocent expression.
"Alright, do you really want to know?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Then come closer. I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud."
Kageyama Kogetsu moved, shifting from the opposite side to the head of the table. After a moment's thought, he moved again, to Uchiha Mikoto's side.
A faint, fragrant scent mixed with a hint of alcohol entered his nose, making his blood boil and concentrate.
Uchiha Mikoto was not much better off. The scent of a young man mixed with a hint of alcohol wafted over her. She shifted her kneeling legs, pressing them tightly together.
"They, they do it like this..."
"It can be done like that?" Kageyama Kogetsu's eyes lit up with excitement, feigning surprise after listening.
"Yes, both men and women can do it."
"I've learned something new today. As expected, older sisters know more."
"Hee hee hee..."
The two of them chatted and drank, their conversation ranging from the serious to the lewd.
One bottle of wine followed another. It was mainly Kageyama Kogetsu who drank more; they didn't clink glasses every time.
Uchiha Mikoto didn't dare to let loose and drink, for fear of messing up the main business.
"Mm... it's empty again. I'll go get more wine."
Uchiha Mikoto placed her hands on the carpet and unsteadily got up...
"Be careful, Sister Mikoto. Why don't I get it?" Kageyama Kogetsu said, offering a steadying hand.
"No need. You're a guest. How can I let you do such a chore?" the half-drunk, half-sober Uchiha Mikoto said, lowering her head with a radiant smile.
"Alright then, be careful."
"Don't worry, it's not far. It's just in the corner."
"Oh!"
Uchiha Mikoto turned and stepped out with her beautiful, stocking-clad legs. She had just taken one step when she stumbled and fell, accurately, into Kageyama Kogetsu's arms...
