Mikoto shook her head, her small face nestled against him.
"He's safe for now. To avoid accidents, Fugaku has kept him inside the clan territory. You can handle things when you get back."
Arata narrowed his eyes slightly. "So, Shisui isn't in immediate danger?"
Mikoto nodded, hesitating only for a moment.
"Yes, for now he's safe."
Satisfied, Arata continued carrying her toward the house.
"I understand. I have a task to complete first, but once that's done, I'll bring you back safely.
Don't worry.....it won't take long."
Mikoto blinked in surprise. "A task? Will it take long? Should I return to tell Fugaku?"
By now, Arata had carried her inside and closed the door.
"The length of the task… depends on your cooperation, Mikoto," he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Then, without warning, he laid her gently on the bed and joined her.
Mikoto gasped, startled. "This… is the task?"
"Why, yes. And it's a matter of life and death," he teased. "Tell me, have you been feeling unwell lately? Nausea?"
"Not at all… hmm. But… Arata, you seem stronger than before.
Your movements are faster, sharper. Slow down, I can barely keep up!"
Indeed, the Raijin Armor, the core secret technique of the Lightning Shadow lineage, was not just for battle.
It enhanced reflexes, speed, and combat prowess...and even in practice, it served as a body-strengthening technique.
The Lightning Shadow had used it to battle tailed beasts with their own physical power alone.
Since acquiring the technique, Arata had trained relentlessly.
Likely because he was still in his developmental phase, the results were extraordinary.
Within days, his strength, reflexes, and overall physique had noticeably improved. Even his appetite had doubled.
And this was just the beginning. The Raijin Armor's full potential had yet to be reached....the Lightning Shadow lineage had achieved Hokage-level physicality relying solely on this technique.
In the privacy of the room, Mikoto fully let go, responding passionately to Arata's advances. Their movements were heated, intense, and nearly inseparable.
Ultimately, thanks to Arata's enhanced physique and skill, Mikoto could only surrender, laughing and pleading in defeat
.
Afterward, they composed themselves. Arata carried Mikoto through the spatial dimension, emerging safely in a secluded bedroom within Uchiha Fugaku's residence.
Here, the two separated...Mikoto needed discretion. Being discovered could jeopardize both her own reputation and the safety of her two sons.
Arata left the room and made his way to the Uchiha headhouse reception hall.
As expected, Fugaku and the clan's elders awaited him.
Without pleasantries, they briefed him on the situation.
Arata listened carefully, assessing that nothing had strayed from their plan. Calmly, he sipped his tea.
"Proceed as planned. Let Shisui handle missions normally.
Given Danzo's hostility toward the Uchiha, he won't hold back for long.
Once he acts, we notify the other clan heads and the Third Hokage. Then, we can justify withdrawing part of the clan from Konoha," he said confidently.
The elders nodded, initiating communications and covert arrangements to ensure nothing went wrong.
The next day, Arata received urgent news: Shisui, returning from a mission, had been intercepted by Root operatives impersonating orders from the Third Hokage.
Arata, Fugaku, and select clan members immediately headed to Root's base. There was no time to waste...Danzo was decisive and would leave no loose ends.
By the time Arata was en route, Shisui had already been escorted to the base entrance.
Though Shisui recognized the operatives as Root in disguise, he had chosen not to expose them to ensure the plan proceeded smoothly.
Sure enough, Uchiha Shisui was immediately brought into the ANBU Root base.
For ordinary people, the Root base was completely secret.
But for Jonin, especially those from prominent clans, it was practically common knowledge.
When Shisui was led into the inner chamber and saw Danzo Shimura, he showed no surprise.
Even though Danzo displayed no hostility, Shisui maintained a facade of respect, bowing slightly: "Greetings, Lord Danzo."
Danzo merely nodded briefly and spoke directly:
"Uchiha Shisui, I summoned you here myself."
Shisui hesitated for a moment. "I wonder what Lord Danzo requires.
Actually, there's no need to invoke the Third Hokage's name. I would have come regardless if Lord Danzo called."
