Kushina once again steered the conversation in that direction, leaving Uchiha In momentarily flustered.
"Your cousin is also your girlfriend, right? I'm also your girlfriend, so aren't you willing to tell me about her?"
Kushina's face showed a look of disappointment as she spoke.
Uchiha In also laughed awkwardly.
He couldn't imagine how Kushina knew Uchiha Mikoto was his girlfriend. Could it be a woman's sixth sense?
Just from the scent of Mikoto on him, she could guess so much.
It was even stronger than his Mind's Eye of the Kagura; at least, the Mind's Eye of the Kagura couldn't do such a thing.
Uchiha In took a deep breath and told Kushina about Uchiha Mikoto.
As Uchiha In spoke, he also paid attention to Kushina's expression, but it seemed quite good; Kushina didn't appear to be too angry.
Little did he know, in Kushina's heart, she was very satisfied with Uchiha In's honesty; at least, he didn't intend to lie to her.
The Naruto World itself did not have a monogamous system and could accept polygamy.
And Kushina, of course, could accept it. In fact, compared to getting angry with Uchiha In, Kushina was more concerned about whether Uchiha In's cousin, Uchiha Mikoto, was an easy-going person.
Because it was very likely that they would all live together in the future.
A morning passed quickly, and there was another practical combat class in the afternoon.
This time, no one was watching; it reverted to the original practical combat class method: draw lots for battles, and after the battle, they could leave school early.
Uchiha In drew someone he didn't know at all and easily crushed them.
Kushina, on the other hand, drew Minato Namikaze.
This battle also attracted the attention of a group of brats, and even the teacher showed some interest.
Kushina was one of the top four in yesterday's practical combat class, while Minato Namikaze was the runner-up in that practical combat class. Their strengths could be said to be almost equal.
Everyone thought so, including Uchiha In.
Because Uchiha In remembered that in the original work, Minato Namikaze's strength was always superior to Kushina's.
But the facts slapped everyone's faces. The fiery Kushina seemed to have vented all the frustration in her heart during the practical combat class, crushing Minato Namikaze.
Even Minato Namikaze's best speed was crushed by Kushina!
This left everyone dumbfounded.
Uchiha In was also greatly surprised because he could clearly feel that Kushina's strength had increased significantly compared to her fight with him yesterday.
Whether it was speed or power.
Was it because Kushina was fighting me yesterday, and her subconscious automatically held back? Or was it because she cared deeply about today's events and vented her dissatisfaction, which led to a great increase in her strength?
Uchiha In suspected, and could only think this way.
After all, even from outside the arena, Uchiha In could feel that Kushina was much stronger.
Perhaps both?
Thinking of this, Uchiha In's mouth also curved into a smile. He hadn't expected Kushina to like him so much in her heart.
In fact, even Kushina herself was very surprised.
She could clearly feel that her strength was vastly different from yesterday.
In this match, she didn't even use her full strength and still defeated Minato Namikaze.
This also made Kushina slightly excited. Kushina was very happy that her strength could improve so quickly.
And the most affected by this practical combat class was Minato Namikaze.
He could accept losing to Uchiha In yesterday, but losing to Kushina today was something he couldn't quite accept.
In front of Kushina, he suffered a crushing defeat with virtually no ability to fight back.
Most importantly, Minato Namikaze didn't know why, but he just didn't want to lose to Kushina.
Perhaps subconsciously, Minato Namikaze still liked Kushina very much, but in this life, he had no chance.
After the practical combat class, Uchiha In also went home with Kushina.
"Oh, right, In, Tsunade nee-san is preparing to train us at Training Ground 6 behind Konoha Mountain on the weekend. Remember to come."
At the fork in the road, Kushina seemed to remember something and said to Uchiha In.
"Bring Mikoto nee-san over then, too."
As if possessed, Kushina continued.
Chapter 48: Temporary Mission
"In, you're back so early today."
At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto had just tied her apron and was about to start cooking.
Seeing Uchiha In return so quickly, Uchiha Mikoto was a little surprised.
"Yes, today's last class was practical combat. We were dismissed after the fight," Uchiha In said.
"Oh, I see. Well, In, you can sit and rest for a bit. I've just started cooking."
After Uchiha Mikoto finished speaking, she walked into the kitchen and began to cook.
Uchiha In also followed her in and stood behind Uchiha Mikoto, watching her cook.
Uchiha Mikoto's cooking skills were not to be underestimated. Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking dishes—it was all fluid and practiced.
"Mikoto-nee, whoever marries you in the future will truly have eight lifetimes of good fortune."
Uchiha In said with a smile.
Uchiha Mikoto gave Uchiha In a charming Byakugan: "Are you saying you have good fortune?"
"Yes, I am saying I have good fortune," Uchiha In also moved behind Uchiha Mikoto and gently embraced her waist.
Uchiha Mikoto's hand trembled, almost scooping out all the dishes in the pot.
"What are you doing? Don't mess around, I'm still cooking," Mikoto said with a slight hint of coquettish.
