Chapter 183: Akari Pregnant
"Where did you get this food?" asked Madara. He had sent Black Zetsu to find something for him to eat, and he expected the usual—some fruit from the jungle. For the past decade, that was all he had eaten. But today, to his surprise, Zetsu had brought back a honey-roasted chicken.
"I bought it from a merchant in the Land of Fire," grinned White Zetsu. The merchant was part of one of Setsuna food chain businesses named DFC. In fact, even the Land of Wind had branches of his restaurants.
Madara pinched one of the wings and tore into it with his teeth. The rich juice from the chicken filled his mouth, and instantly he felt something he hadn't experienced in years. It wasn't just good—it was absolutely delicious. The taste exploded across his tongue, amplified by the fact that he had spent years eating tasteless jungle plants and wild roots. After such bland meals, this was a treasure beyond value.
For years, he had lived in hiding, only venturing out under deep disguise. It had never been his way to steal from the weak, so he had always foraged for food himself, no matter how dull or dry it tasted.
But now, with the arrival of Black and White Zetsu, things had changed. They were especially helpful in spying the information and more importantly, buying food.
Madara condition, however, was another issue entirely. He had aged much faster than most people. His body had grown weak, and it wasn't just from time. The power of the Rinnegan had accelerated the aging process, draining nutrients directly from his body to maintain the energy required by his eyes. Though he was only fifty, his appearance resembled that of a man well into his nineties.
"Is it good, Madara-sama?" asked Zetsu curiously, watching his reaction.
"You did well," Madara replied, wiping his mouth. "If there's any food you can buy, do it."
"Okay, Madara-sama," said Zetsu, already eager to bring more.
---Pregnant and rewards---
"Congratulations, host. Your wife Akari is pregnant with twins," said the System.
"Huh... okay, good," replied Setsuna. Now, having more children did not bring the same excitement as before, but he was still happy. "So, what is the reward?"
"Claiming the reward in progress. Congratulations, host. You have received an upgradable reward. You may upgrade one of your previous reward that you received," said the System.
"Any reward?" asked Setsuna.
"Yes. You may upgrade one of the rewards you have received before," said the System.
"Alright, then I will upgrade the Tomoe Rinnegan," replied Setsuna.
"Reward is being activated," said the System.
Setsuna's eyes changed from the purple Tomoe Rinnegan into the red Tomoe Rinnegan—the same eyes that Kaguya once possessed. But it was not just the color. He could feel the difference. This pair of eyes felt lighter in his body. Before this, the Rinnegan consumed a significant amount of chakra. But now, this version used only half the chakra that the normal Tomoe Rinnegan required.
Suddenly, Kurama spoke.
"Setsuna... those eyes. I have seen them before," said Kurama.
"Huh? When did you see them?" asked Setsuna.
"I do not know. My memory feels hazy. But I believe I have seen them long ago," replied Kurama.
"Are they the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths?" asked Setsuna.
"No. I feel like I saw them before the Sage of Six Paths ever existed," Kurama replied.
Hearing this, Setsuna understood. The eyes he now possessed were the same as Kaguya's. Perhaps in the form of the Ten Tails, some of Kaguya's memory had been transferred to Kurama, lingering within his chakra.
Now, it all made sense.
---Meeting Mito---
Mito was quietly sipping her tea when one of the guards entered the room.
"Mito sama there is an emergency report from Senju member".
After that he handed her a sealed scroll before leaving. As she unrolled it and began to read, her expression shifted instantly.
Reading the report made her eyes narrow and her grip tighten. Rage simmered beneath her calm surface.
"How dare he…" Mito muttered, her voice sharp and cold.
Suddenly, the space within the room twisted. From that twisted space come Setsuna with his father-in-law Uzumaki Ashina. Alongside them were three unexpected guests—Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Boruto, and Uchiha Sasuke.
"Father… Setsuna?" said Mito in surprise. Her eyes then drifted to the unfamiliar faces standing behind them.
"Mito, we came to tell you something important," said Uzumaki Ashina, her father.
She nodded slowly and gestured for them to sit around the table.
"Wait here. I will bring some snacks," said Mito as she rose from her seat and left the room briefly.
The room remained quiet for a few moments. The guests looked around at the traditional furnishings of the Uzumaki compound, there was a peaceful energy here.
Mito soon returned with a tray filled with light snacks and fresh tea for everyone.
"So, what is the news?" she asked as she placed the tray down.
"Mito… this may be difficult to believe, but this is Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uzumaki Boruto," said the Uzukage. "They came from the future."
Mito blinked. She thought she had misheard, so she asked again, her voice hesitant.
"They came from the future?" she repeated.
"Yes," said the Uzukage firmly.
Her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly. For a moment, she could not find the words to respond.
"Really?" she finally asked.
"Yes," Sasuke answered, his voice calm.
Sasuke had agreed to reveal everything to Mito after realizing that this timeline differed greatly from his own. No matter what actions were taken here, they would not alter the events of his original world. With that in mind, he saw no reason not to help protect as many people as he could—especially the Uchiha.
Although Mito was still processing the infomation she received, curiosity won over hesitation. She began to ask about the future, and Sasuke answered. He told her everything—what Hiruzen had done, how Danzo operated from the shadows, and how their decisions had destroyed lives.
Fifteen minutes passed as she listened intently, growing more and more furious with every word. Her expression became tight, and her jaw clenched.
Finally, she turned to Setsuna.
"Setsuna… thank you. Because of your advice years ago, I made sure to keep a close eye on Hiruzen," said Mito, her tone resolute. "I will not allow him to do whatever he pleases."
"Mito, relax. We came here for another reason," said Setsuna calmly. "We need you to leak the sealing technique of Uzushiogakure."
"What?" Mito's voice rose. "Are you out of your mind?"
"No," Setsuna replied firmly. "We need to see whether Hiruzen will honor the promise made to Uzushiogakure or betray it."
