# Chapter 16: The Special Secret Signal!
"Sasuke, you look like this!"
Uchiha Mikoto's heart ached.
Looking at her son's panda eyes, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She looked at the calendar. Monday!
He must have been bullied by Kushina's eldest son again.
It had been over two months; she was used to this.
Every Monday, Sasuke would come back covered in dirt.
"That guy is unreasonable!"
"I was already knocked down, but he still hit my eyes."
Sasuke felt very wronged.
He felt that Uzumaki Mizuki hit him particularly hard today.
What he couldn't accept the most was that despite working so hard, he still couldn't defeat the other party.
It was too painful!
It made Sasuke, with his fragile young heart, feel incredibly aggrieved.
As he spoke, he started sobbing.
"That child, really!"
Uchiha Mikoto said somewhat crossly.
Then she patted her son's head to comfort him.
Although she felt the Uzumaki brothers had it hard, today, as a woman, she felt somewhat angry.
Always beating her son like this was too much!
"What happened to Sasuke?"
At the same time, Itachi, who had just returned, heard his foolish brother's crying.
He came over impatiently.
Seeing it was Monday, he knew roughly what had happened.
Internally, he was also very unhappy.
A trace of killing intent couldn't help but appear in his heart.
"Damn it, that brat!!"
When he saw his brother's panda eyes.
He couldn't help but want to kill someone.
This was too much.
Why hit his brother so hard?
He knew clearly that Uzumaki Mizuki's strength should be enough to easily defeat his brother.
Now that his brother was beaten into panda eyes, it must be intentional!!
Last time he went to his father's office to apologize.
That brat must have harbored resentment. Seeing that he continued to beat Sasuke and the Uchiha didn't interfere, he hit harder!!
Itachi thought at this moment, *should I go warn that kid tonight?*
Let him know that Sasuke also has a brother.
"You're back?"
At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku also returned.
Recently, things had calmed down a bit.
But within the Uchiha Clan, there were huge contradictions.
Uchiha Madara wanted to kill them, and Konoha didn't trust them!
Many Uchiha felt exhausted, thinking they should leave Konoha and stop working themselves to death.
Even more ruthless guys felt they should seize Konoha's political power and let the Uchiha Clan control Konoha.
Only then could they better protect the Uchiha!
It made him distraught.
"Sasuke was beaten by that child again."
"He hit too hard this time. Look at him!"
Uchiha Mikoto complained.
*Is that so?*
Uchiha Fugaku was startled hearing this.
However, pretending to care, he looked at his youngest son.
When he saw those panda eyes, Fugaku frowned, looking unhappy.
But actually, he understood the meaning in his heart.
Because this was the contact method he and Uzumaki Mizuki had agreed upon.
It wasn't suitable for the two to meet. Uzumaki Mizuki was constantly watched by ANBU. To contact each other, they could only prepare a slightly unconventional method.
This method was Uchiha Sasuke, who would return to Fugaku's home every day!
Specific injuries indicated a request to meet and contact.
Panda eyes were this specific injury.
Tomorrow, at noon, meet at Mizuki's house.
"Sasuke, in a few days, I'll teach you a few powerful techniques. Next time you will definitely win."
Uchiha Fugaku perfunctorily comforted his youngest son.
He didn't know why Uzumaki Mizuki wanted to meet suddenly, but it definitely wasn't for something good.
This made him somewhat uneasy inside.
Because after witnessing Konoha's idea of erasing the entire Uchiha, he had been thinking about how to solve this matter.
The Uzumaki Clan behind Uzumaki Mizuki was his only helper.
He couldn't give them up casually!
Contacting him at this time meant there was something important!
"Mn, I will definitely win!"
The naive Sasuke didn't realize at all that his father didn't take his beating to heart.
He decided in his heart that next time, he would definitely defeat that guy Uzumaki Mizuki.
But Itachi noticed; he saw his father was absent-minded.
This made him care a little, because in his view, Sasuke was the most important.
...
"Exchange for **[Tear of the Goddess]**."
Uzumaki Mizuki, in the bathroom, opened the system and exchanged for a new piece of equipment.
He couldn't afford Noble Phantasms right now; ordinary ones weren't very useful, and good ones were too expensive.
In the 20,000-point price range, the most suitable item for him right now was the basic equipment **[Tear of the Goddess]** from League of Legends!
It didn't increase any attributes but increased the mana pool Uzumaki Mizuki lacked most right now.
"**[Tear of the Goddess]** exchange successful!"
**Attributes**
* **Strength:** 155
* **Stamina:** 128
* **Mental Power:** 188
* **HP:** 1550
* **Magic Power:** 1880 points [Enkidu +2000 points] + [100 million Ryo Magic Power +1000] + [Chakra +500] + [Tear of the Goddess +2500] (Using skills will increase the cap up to 7500)
"7800 mana points. Close to twice that of a Jonin. Tear of the Goddess can increase by another 5000 points, for a maximum of 12,800 mana. That should be enough for me to perform!"
Uzumaki Mizuki looked at his current mana pool and felt somewhat relieved.
What he lacked most was mana, followed by combat experience.
But this was the Ninja World, not One Piece. People here had fragile bodies; he could totally use his mana pool to suppress and exhaust the opponent.
If it were One Piece, Uzumaki Mizuki felt he should probably switch to equipment that could penetrate defenses.
