Chapter 48 : Flying Thunder God Technique
The once lifeless Uchiha clan had begun to thrive under the leadership of Uchiha Mikoto.
Her exceptional leadership skills had earned the clan newfound respect and trust among the people of Konoha.
One evening, as Kushina Uzumaki and Kurama were having dinner at home, there was a knock at the door. It was Mikoto.
Kurama, not wanting to reveal his true form to Mikoto yet, silently entered Kushina's body as pure chakra.
Kushina chuckled at the sight, her sharp eyes glinting with amusement. "Hey, Kurama, do you want me to introduce you to my best friend?"
"Next time," Kurama replied lazily.
Kushina smirked. "You've already experienced Mikoto's kindness firsthand, Kurama. Don't forget me, alright?"
The friendship between Kushina and Mikoto was nothing like the shallow rivalry between Sakura and Ino—it ran deep, built on years of trust and shared experiences.
As soon as Kushina opened the door, she pulled Mikoto into a tight hug.
"Tsk, tsk, how does the great clan leader, burdened with so many responsibilities, still find time for little old me?" she teased.
Mikoto rolled her eyes, but a smile tugged at her lips. In front of her clan, she was the formidable and dignified Uchiha leader, but with Kushina, she was simply Mikoto.
