Hearing the doorbell, clueless Mikoto opened the door, but noticing the visitor, her expression stiffened, "Kanzou-sama?"

Recalling the way Kanzou had looked at her yesterday, an uneasy feeling crept over her.

"Are you here to see Sofu-sama?" questioned Mikoto, gently and respectfully, curbing the unease, but also with a vigilant edge in her tone.

"No," Kanzou replied with a smirk. "Why would I waste my time on that old fossil? I came to see you, Mikoto-san."

As he spoke, he reached out and lifted her chin with his fingers.

"What… what do you think you are doing?" Mikoto questioned sharply, her eyes widening and her face hardening.

Although she usually carried herself with grace and gentleness, giving the image of someone who was easy to bully, in truth, Mikoto was not one to yield easily when provoked.

Of course, Kanzou didn't care and caressed her cheek with a smile, "What am I doing? Of course, admiring the beautiful woman before me…"

She slapped his hand away without hesitation and scolded him, "You're the Captain of the Police Force, aren't you? Does this kind of conduct suit someone in your position and status?"

"I pity your innocence, Mikoto-san… don't you know that the most corrupt and biggest abusers are always people in power?" chuckled Kanzou as he thought to himself, 'Such was the case in my past life, and it's no different here…'

At the same time, without warning, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her against him. "I for one am one such bastard… who has no qualms about abusing my power for the sake of furthering my goals… and you know what… my goal, at the moment, is you…"

"Let… let go of me," Mikoto struggled to break free. But found it difficult considering the difference in their physical strength.

"Now… now… calm down, Mikoto-san… I won't force myself upon you since I am not interested in that. Just listen to a few things that I have to say, if you don't like it, I'll leave without so much as harming your hair," said Kanzou, whispering into Mikoto's ears, making her freeze and look at him with a frown.

Paying her no mind, he continued, "You should know I'm the biggest obstacle standing in the way of Fugaku becoming the patriarch. But if you agree to one condition of mine, I might just step aside and let him have it."

"What condition?" Mikoto asked warily while thinking of a way to break free.

"Come on," Kanzou said with a sly smile as he traced his hand over her face, tugging her hair behind her ears. "I believe you are smart enough to figure it out. I don't think you need me to spell it out for you."

He gave her a look filled with implication.

Already feeling uncomfortable, hearing his words, Mikoto snapped as her eyes flared with anger, "It seems I was really mistaken about you… You... you're shameless."

Of course, she understood what he was insinuating. "I never imagined you'd stoop so low. I won't agree to anything like that. Now that you have said your piece, let go of me…"

She had never considered Kanzou a bad person before; in fact, she secretly admired him a great deal, for his talent, strength, and, of course, his appearance.

After all, admiration for beauty was natural; people were born to like beautiful things, and Kanzou was undeniably handsome, even among the Uchiha Clan, known for their striking looks. He stood out, earning the admiration of everyone, including Mikoto's.

So, even though it was only from a distance, she did admire him.

Not to mention, he was undoubtedly the strongest among the Uchiha, graduating from the academy at an early age due to his unmatched talent, and he performed incredibly in the Second Great Shinobi War, earning fame and glory.

Uchiha respect strength… as a Uchiha… Mikoto was no different and admired him for his strength as well.

At times, she had even noticed him training until very late and starting early morning, working through his bones…

This handsomeness, strength, and dedication are obviously very revering traits in a person; Mikoto has revered these qualities of Kanzou.

It's a pity that she was already engaged to Fugaku when she was very young, so she could only revere Kanzou and admire him from a distance… but that didn't stop her from always respecting him and admiring him to the point of always addressing him with utmost respect, despite him being younger than her.

But today, the image she had of him had shattered completely…

"Why won't you agree? Compared to Fugaku, am I not better in every way?" Kanzou didn't sound angry; on the contrary, he looked at Mikoto's flushed and uncomfortable face with curiosity.

Mikoto said nothing, "…"

She just wanted him to leave as quickly as possible.

She admitted to herself that Kanzou was indeed more powerful and more handsome than Fugaku.

But from the moment the ten-year-old her and the fifteen-year-old Fugaku were engaged, Mikoto had slowly come to accept that it was her fate to be his wife.

Even though they weren't yet married and had no real intimacy, Mikoto, raised in traditional values, already saw Fugaku as her future husband.

She had been mentally prepared to take on that role since before she graduated from the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Therefore, it was unthinkable for her to do anything with any other man, even if she admired that person in her heart.

Moreover, even if Kanzou was stronger than Fugaku, that didn't mean Fugaku was already guaranteed to lose the battle for succession…

His father had been the previous clan head, which alone gave him an edge.

Knowing this, she didn't pay much attention to Kanzou's offer and simply shook her head, "I have nothing to say to you… Kanzou-sama. Now… could you please let go of me? I don't want to be seen by anyone… it would cause a misunderstanding for me… Just release me… I won't pursue this matter either… and we can go back to being acquaintances…"

Kanzou shrugged, not paying attention to Mikoto's words. Instead, mumbled to himself, "Hmm… It seems you aren't willing to cooperate for Fugaku's sake, are you?" and then added with a grin, "Well, I suppose that makes sense since you don't really have any affection for him at this point… hmm… if that's the case, then that only leaves me with plan B."

"Plan B?" Mikoto frowned. She didn't expect that Kanzou would come here with multiple plans in mind.

"Yup… option B… If the temptation isn't going to work, then I have to change my tactics to Plan B, which involves threatening and coercion…" said Kanzou, chuckling lightly.

Mikoto's eyes narrowed. "Threat? What do you mean?"

She had a bad feeling.

"You won't give in for Fugaku's sake, but what about Tadayoshi-sama? Don't you care about his safety?"

Kanzou's voice was calm, but his words were laced with menace.

Mikoto drew a sharp breath and, in an instant, activated her Three Tomoe Sharingan, fixing a fierce glare on Kanzou.

"What are you planning to do to Sofu-sama?" she demanded.

Kanzou raised an eyebrow, mildly surprised. "As expected of the woman I have long since fancied… You indeed have awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan."

For her to possess it meant she was as strong as an Elite Jōnin.

In fact, many Uchiha Jōnin hadn't reached this level. Three Tomoe Sharingan was the pinnacle that most members of the clan could ever achieve.

Although Kanzou was mildly surprised by Mikoto's strength, everything remained firmly under his control.

Even if she had the power of an Elite Jōnin, she couldn't escape his grasp. After all, Kanzou was the strongest member of the Uchiha clan.

"Mikoto-san, you should be able to see how powerful I am. If I wanted Tadayoshi-sama dead, it wouldn't be difficult at all. And I have every reason to get rid of him… After all, Tadayoshi-sama supports Uchiha Fugaku-san. That alone makes him my enemy. I've already thought about eliminating him, but when I think of you… I feel a bit reluctant, this is one of the reasons I came here… to make my decision… Tell me, Mikoto-san… do you really want me to go through with it?"

Though Kanzou maintained a calm, almost charming expression, his words sounded like the devil's whisper to Mikoto.

"Sofu-sama is an Elder, you wouldn't dare," she replied, her voice tight with anger.

Kanzou's smile deepened. "I was indirectly responsible for the early death of the former Patriarch Uchiha Douma. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to push my blade through Tadayoshi-sama's heart just because he is an Elder?"

"You… you wouldn't be able to escape the consequences…" stuttered out Mikoto, feeling panicked.

"And who'd make me face the consequences? Fugaku? Haven't I already dealt with him once and killed his father? What did he do in response except throw a tantrum and make empty threats? Nothing! What do you think would change a second time? Nothing! He is a man who'd let anyone walk all over him only to make empty threats but not be able to go through with it… And even if he tries, it wouldn't change anything… the difference in our strength is not something he can ever hope to overcome… And except Fugaku… there is no one else… Yes, the truth is… No one in the Uchiha Clan can stop me… You should know this very clearly as Tadayoshi-sama's granddaughter…"

"This…" Those words shattered the last trace of hope in Mikoto's heart… because she knew that every word Kanzou had said was true.

According to what her grandfather had told her, the patriarch's sudden death was indeed linked to Kanzou.

Despite knowing this… no one dared to do anything to Kanzou. Why? Because they were afraid of him!

Fugaku, who might have had some chance of doing anything, has already been defeated by Kanzou once… and even her grandfather, who was already old, wasn't going to be a match for Kanzou either.

If Kanzou dared to make a move on the patriarch, why wouldn't he dare attack the Elder?

Suddenly, Kanzou released Mikoto and turned away.

"Well, that's what I came here to say… and I have said my piece… Now, I'll give you ten seconds to think about it. After that, I'll leave. As I said earlier, I'm not someone who likes to force others… But I just want to remind you that if I walk away today… Tomorrow, you might have to wake up to the corpse of your beloved Sofu-sama… Do you really wish for that to happen? Think about it… No one can help you in this… only you can do it… the decision is in your hands… You are the one to decide the fate of Tadayoshi-sama. With that said… Let's begin the counting… 10… 9… 8…"

His ability to lie with a straight face was unmatched. Kanzou had always been skilled at talking nonsense as if it were the truth.

Still, he knew not to give Mikoto too much time to think. This kind of decision had to be forced.

"7… 6… 5…"

As the counting progressed, Mikoto grew more and more nervous… Even someone as calm as her couldn't really think straight and kept asking herself, 'What to do…? What to do?'

"4… 3… 2—"

Just as Kanzou reached the final count and turned to leave, Mikoto suddenly grabbed his hand, "Wait…"

Kanzou grinned, his smile brazen and unrestrained, "So, what decision did you reach?"

"I promise you," nodded Mikoto as tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. Her expression was so pitiful that anyone with a softer heart might have reconsidered.

But Kanzou was not someone who showed mercy.

He has long since become ruthless to the bones, and he would never let her go just because she appeared pitiful.

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself… he has experienced this through a hard lesson in his youth, and he wasn't going to repeat it.

At the moment, Mikoto is an enemy as she is part of the enemy camp… Fugaku's camp.

Until she switched over to his camp, there was no way he was going to show an ounce of mercy to her.

"A wise decision…" Kanzou chuckled as he lifted Mikoto up in a princess carry and closed the door of the house behind him, carrying her toward her own bedroom.
