Back at Elder Tadayoshi's mansion, Mikoto stood alone in the bathroom.
She had stripped out of her clothes that were covered in sweat and musk and now stared at her reflection in the mirror, noticing dozens of bite marks scattered across her shoulders, her neck, her breasts.
Kanzou had meant to leave those bite marks on her body, and every one of them stood out clearly to her now. She traced her fingers over the marks. They barely stung anymore—but that was only the physical pain.
Her heart hurt far more.
Each mark was a reminder of what she had been forced to endure. They marked the presence of the monster who had violated her against her will, left there so she would never forget what had been done to her.
They served their purpose all too well. The moment she looked at them, tears spilled freely down her face.
And it wasn't only the marks.
After such torment, her entire body ached, but the pain was worst between her legs. She felt swollen, tender, throbbing with a deep, lingering ache. It felt as though she had been torn—whether truly injured or simply suffering from having been pushed far beyond her limits, she couldn't tell. All she knew was that the pain was real.
The physical reminders clung to her skin and traced along her inner thighs, mixing with the ache and leaving her unable to escape what she had been through.
"W-woo… I… I need to wash…" she choked out to herself as she hurried to clean up.
She did so mechanically, but the tears never stopped. They kept falling no matter how much she scrubbed, no matter how much she tried to steady herself.
Even after she finished and sank into the bathtub, the sobs refused to fade. She curled in on herself, arms wrapped tightly around her body as she cried in helpless whimpers, a single thought looping endlessly in her mind.
'What did I ever do to deserve this…? I… woo…'
…
Fugaku's Mansion, Uchiha Compound
"What did you say? Uchiha Kanzou went to Tadayoshi-sama's residence and stayed for more than two hours." Fugaku's expression darkened as he listened to the report from his subordinate. The longer he listened, the more twisted his face became, his anger steadily rising.
He knew the Elder had been with him all day, which meant the only one at the Elder's home was Uchiha Mikoto.
A man and a woman, alone for over two hours… Unless one was deliberately naïve, it was impossible not to draw some conclusions about what the two of them were doing.
"You saw what happened with your own eyes?" Fugaku's crimson eyes glinted, the three tomoe of his Sharingan flickering ominously. His breathing quickened.
The subordinate hesitated for a second, then chose to speak honestly.
"I didn't dare get too close, but from a distance, I saw Uchiha Kanzou hold Mikoto-sama in his arms at the door. And… when he turned to leave, it was Uchiha Mikoto who reached out and pulled him back inside."
"The rest… I don't know. The door was closed, and the windows were curtained," the subordinate said cautiously.
He had been observing from a distance, unable to hear what Kanzou and Mikoto were saying.
At best, he could only piece together the general situation through body language.
The distance had been deliberate; he feared getting too close and being discovered by Kanzou.
Unbeknownst to him, Kanzou had already noticed his presence. In fact, everything he was now reporting to Fugaku was precisely what Kanzou had wanted him to see and deliver.
Fucking Mikoto was never him acting with just his dick… of course, there was that… but he had also been planning for this exact situation.
Bang!
Fugaku overturned the table in a fit of rage. The sound of shattering wood and crashing objects filled the room as he continued to lash out violently.
His Sharingan spun wildly, the three tomoe whirling with such ferocity that they almost fused, almost, but not enough. It still wasn't painful enough to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Uchiha Kanzou… you Bastard!" Fugaku bellowed his name with pure hatred in his voice that also seeking a target.
Shhk!
A blade pierced the chest of the trusted subordinate, "This matter must never be leaked. You have to die."
If word got out, what right would he have to become the patriarch after being humiliated like this? The scandal would ruin his chances completely.
Even if he suspected he'd been betrayed, he had to endure it, for now. Only by becoming the patriarch could he truly settle the score with Uchiha Kanzou.
And as for that woman, Uchiha Mikoto… Fugaku's fists clenched tightly.
Once, he had been proud to call Uchiha Mikoto his fiancée. She was the most beautiful woman in the Uchiha clan, perhaps even among the top three in all of Konoha.
But now? Fugaku could barely contain the urge to kill her.
An impure woman had no right to be the patriarch's wife.
"Uchiha Tadayoshi… do you truly support me?"
Now that he believed Mikoto had betrayed him with Kanzou, Fugaku's trust in the elder Tadayoshi had begun to crumble because of her actions.
…
Meanwhile, at Mikoto's house, Elder Tadayoshi noticed his granddaughter sitting quietly at the dining table, her chopsticks untouched and her expression deflated.
Something felt off.
"Mikoto… are you feeling unwell?" Tadayoshi asked gently.
His question pulled her from her thoughts. "Huh? Oh… It's nothing, Sōfu-sama," she replied, quickly picking up her chopsticks and beginning to eat.
Of course, she couldn't tell her grandfather that Kanzou had threatened her into having sex with him. She was terrified of what might happen to both of them if she did. More than that, she feared what her grandfather would think of her, his granddaughter, after learning what she had been forced to do and that she had done something so bad…
"Are you sure?" Tadayoshi pressed, concerned.
Mikoto gave a small, apologetic smile and offered a vague excuse laced with quiet meaning. "Today just… hasn't been a good day for me, Sōfu-sama. I'm a little out of sorts, but I'll be fine. There's nothing to worry about."
Tadayoshi paused, catching the subtle undertone in her words. "I see… Forgive me for asking."
…
[Ding! Alienated the relationship between Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Tadayoshi, and Uchiha Mikoto. Reward: Evil Points +8,000]
"I really don't understand how this reward system calculates things," Kanzou muttered, shaking his head. Still, this time, he'd truly struck gold.
He got to enjoy himself, sabotage a few relationships, and even received a hefty reward from the system. It was a win on all fronts.
"With so many evil points stacked up, I suppose it's time to start spending."
If he hadn't already unlocked the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kanzou would have hoarded every point to try and unlock it. But now that he had it, it was finally time to start shopping.
"System, is the store limited to items from the Naruto world only?"
[The store only displays items from the world the Host currently resides in. Items from other worlds are not available for purchase and can only be acquired through rewards.]
"Tch. Figures. And everything's so damn expensive."
Even the cheapest S-rank jutsu cost 100,000 evil points, and the more powerful ones weren't even close to being affordable.
Needless to say, some of these items are even more expensive than standard ninjutsu.
There are also rare and specialised techniques, like the Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Jutsu, that come with a hefty price tag.
"The Hatake clan's kenjutsu style costs over 100,000 evil points… well, Hatake Sakumo did earn the title of Konoha's White Fang with just his swordsmanship," Kanzou muttered. "This kind of value does make sense."
Then his eyes fell on something even more absurd.
"Wait, you can buy ocular Jutsu too? Uchiha Obito's Kamui, just the phasing technique, costs 250,000 evil points? And the combined ability of both eyes is a whopping 500,000? That's more expensive than buying a Mangekyō Sharingan outright! Ridiculous."
Still, he had to admit, Obito's Mangekyō abilities were among the most broken in the original timeline.
"Then again, it doesn't matter. No matter how powerful they are, I've got Amenotokotachi. That trumps everything."
He scrolled further, only to see another absurd number.
"The Flying Raijin Jutsu costs 300,000 evil points? Dammit... and here I thought I was rich. Turns out I'm still broke."
Kanzou realised he couldn't afford the techniques he truly desired.
Techniques like the Flying Raijin or Obito's Kamui were simply out of reach.
Although Hatake-style kenjutsu was priced at 120,000 evil points, within his budget, Kanzou was hesitant to spend that much on it.
"Hatake Sakumo isn't dead yet. I might be able to obtain his sword style through other means," Kanzou muttered. "Besides, the Uchiha clan's swordsmanship isn't bad either."
After all, during the Warring States Era, the Uchiha were a powerhouse in every sense.
While their Sharingan and Fire Style techniques were the most well-known, they excelled in other forms of combat arts as well.
Bukijutsu is also Uchiha's specialty.
One of the Sharingan's greatest strengths was its ability to copy. Though it couldn't replicate secret techniques or bloodline abilities, it could mimic most forms of taijutsu, ninjutsu, and kenjutsu.
"Let's see how much Chidori and Rasengan cost," he murmured as he searched for the two jutsu.
Both Chidori and Rasengan were legendary techniques. Anyone familiar with canon would immediately recognize them, and their countless derivatives.
Chidori alone had spawned techniques such as Chidori Current, Chidori Senbon, Chidori Sharp Spear, Kirin, and more. Rasengan was even more versatile, with variants like Big Ball Rasengan, Wind Style Rasengan, Vanishing Rasengan, Rasenshuriken, and numerous versions infused with other nature transformations and even Kekkei Genkai.
They were the signature techniques of the story's two main protagonists, Chidori belonging to Sasuke, and Rasengan to Naruto.
Developed by Kakashi and Minato, respectively, both are A-rank ninjutsu.
Given their power and versatility, Kanzou fully expected them to carry a steep price.
"Hm… Chidori costs fifty thousand?" he muttered. "And Rasengan… seventy-five thousand evil points? That's really…"
Still, considering their potential, the price wasn't exactly surprising.
'I really need to step up my game and earn more evil points,' he sighed, shaking his head as he closed the system shop after making note of how many Evil Points he had.
Current Balance: 1,25,000 Evil Points.
As for actually purchasing either of the two jutsu, there was no need.
He already knew both.
That's right, Kanzou had long since mastered both Chidori and Rasengan.
Having watched the training processes for both jutsu in canon, and with years of time to train, how could he not have developed them himself?
While he had forgotten some minor details, his deep understanding of shape and nature transformation allowed him to fully reconstruct the techniques. Once he grasped them, he recreated both jutsu on his own and at a relatively young age.
Chidori was practically designed for the Uchiha. The technique's fatal flaw, tunnel vision while moving at extremely high speed, could only be overcome using the Sharingan; thus, it is meant mainly for the Uchiha.
For him, mastering it was only natural while he was studying the Lightning Nature Transformation.
The same applied to Rasengan. A technique with near-limitless potential that didn't even require hand seals was definitely something he intended to master. Not to mention the amount of training it gave him in improving his understanding of the Shape Transformation of the Chakra.
So, he learned them…
In a sense, within this world, Kanzou could even be considered the creator of both Chidori and Rasengan.
