Chapter 201 Matchmaking for Young Couples
Chapter 201 Matchmaking for Young Couples
Night falls in the sleeping quarters of the Water Kingdom's palace.
After finishing his official duties, Uchiha Mitsunori, carrying an intelligence scroll, slowly walked towards Uchiha Mikoto's bedroom.
The scroll records the details of Itachi Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha chatting by the lake during the day.
The ninja who was secretly observing the two recorded everything in detail, from their conversation to their expressions, and then compiled the information into his possession.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood outside the bedroom door, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the door open and entered.
The hall was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. Uchiha Mikoto was sitting in front of her dressing table removing her makeup. When she heard the noise, she only glanced at him indifferently.
Her tone was somewhat distant, with a hint of reproach: "Why are you here? Haven't you been spending the last three months staying at Tsunade's place?"
Uchiha Mikoto was also aware that her husband already had nine wives, and he also kept two concubines outside the palace: Mabui and Niyukimon.
Uchiha Mitsunori felt a little embarrassed, but he was always thick-skinned.
He strode forward, gently put his arm around her waist from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "I just missed you. I've been dealing with some things lately and needed Tsunade's help to research medical ninjutsu, so I stayed a few more days."
Actually, it's because Tsunade fused with Wood Release, and he needed to improve his proficiency in Wood Release through dual cultivation, so he often spent the night at her place.
Mikoto Uchiha snorted, but didn't push him away: "Miss me? It's been over three months, and you've only come to see me twice. Leaving aside Tsunade, you've probably spent a lot of time with those two outside the palace, haven't you?"
Compared to other lords in other countries, who often had dozens or even hundreds of concubines.
The Uchiha clan had only nine queens, which was already considered quite restrained.
But as a woman, Mikoto inevitably felt somewhat wronged.
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head and gently kissed her neck, his tone tinged with apology: "Mikoto, it's my fault. I'll definitely spend more time with you from now on."
After saying that, he picked up Mikoto and carried her to the large bed in the inner sanctuary.
Inside the bedchamber, the atmosphere quickly heated up, leaving only the two of them breathing heavily.
Uchiha Mitsuhide made up for the neglect during this period with his actions, and only when the two of them were lying exhausted on the bed did they slowly bring up the important matter.
He stroked Mikoto's long hair and said earnestly, "I received intelligence today that Itachi and Izumi chatted by the lake for a long time. Izumi is a good girl, talented, with a good personality, and she's also interested in Itachi. I'm thinking of setting them up, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Mikoto Uchiha's eyes.
After her ex-husband Fugaku passed away, Itachi Uchiha became increasingly taciturn. He would only talk a few words when he was with Sasuke, Karin, and the others; otherwise, he was indifferent to everyone else.
She had long been worried about her son's future and had secretly observed Uchiha Izumi.
That girl is not only exceptionally strong, but she is also genuinely devoted to Itachi. If they could get together, it would indeed be a good thing.
"I also like Izumi; she's sensible and mature. But you know Itachi's personality—he's thoughtful and devoted to his younger siblings. He might not actively pursue a girl. Besides, he's still so young; isn't it a bit too early?"
Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and said calmly, "It's getting late. When Shisui was his age, he was already carrying out S-rank missions. I plan to send them on a long-term S-rank mission so they can spend more time together. I've already planned the route: starting from the Land of Water, passing through the Land of Lightning, the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Earth, the Land of Bears, the Land of Demons, the Land of Ghosts, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Tea, finally returning to the Land of Water. Along the way, they can both train and build relationships."
Mikoto Uchiha frowned, her voice filled with worry: "We've gone way too far! So many countries, what if we encounter danger?"
Uchiha Mitsunori patted her back reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll have Shisui lead the team. Although he's only 17, he possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, has been injected with Hashirama's cell enhancement fluid, and has the Amanto Seal. He alone can suppress a major ninja village. Add Nawaki and Mitarashi Anko, who are also familiar with Itachi and Izumi, and they'll be a perfect team. It's a pity Shisui doesn't have a girlfriend, otherwise we could bring a girl along so they can get to know each other better."
Mikoto Uchiha's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Speaking of Shisui, I'm reminded of someone named 'Yugao Uzuki'! They're both 17 years old, and Yugao is a beautiful girl with considerable strength. She's a perfect match for Shisui!"
Uchiha Mitsunaga's body stiffened instantly, and his eyes looked somewhat unnatural.
Uzuki Yugao was a beauty he had previously set his sights on. She was calm and skilled at handling documents. He had planned to transfer her to his side as his secretary after she had gained more experience.
Uchiha Mitsunori hurriedly said, his tone tinged with panic, "They're not a good match. They're both too quiet; their lives would lack a lot of excitement. Do you see any lively young girls of suitable age in the clan, like from the Uchiha clan or other families, that you could introduce to Shisui?"
Mikoto Uchiha glanced at him with a puzzled look, feeling that Mitsunori's reaction was a bit strange, but she didn't think much of it.
She pondered seriously, "Within the clan, there's a girl named Uchiha Saya, the same age as Shisui. She's quite strong and has a lively personality. What do you think?"
Uchiha Mitsunori breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "That's all good. You should arrange for her to get to know Shisui better and see what he thinks. As for matters of the heart, it depends on whether they get along."
Mikoto Uchiha smiled and nodded, leaning against Mitsumine's chest: "You're so thoughtful. This way, Itachi and Shisui will have company, and I can rest assured. However, we still need to adjust the mission route. Don't send them to places that are too dangerous, such as the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, which has been quite turbulent lately."
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Matching Itachi and Izumi together would not only give Itachi more to care about, but would also benefit Izumi.
Moreover, if it were Uchiha Shisui, he could find a suitable partner.
His future children will undoubtedly be talented as well.
The next morning, the three members of the Uchiha clan summoned Shisui, Itachi, Izumi, Nawaki, and Mitarashi Anko, while Uchiha Saya met in the royal study to discuss the mission.
"Your mission this time is to gather information along the way regarding bloodline limits, special techniques, rare minerals, and so on..."
When the mission route and team roster were announced, Uchiha Izumi's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she secretly glanced at Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi remained calm, but a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes when he heard that they were going to so many countries.
Uchiha Shisui patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Daimyo! I will definitely protect everyone and successfully complete the mission..."
