I really don't want to be Hokage

As soon as Uchiha Mikoto walked into the living room, she saw Uchiha Miko sitting on the sofa, as if waiting for her to come home.

After all, it was already past ten o'clock at night, and according to Uchiha Miko's usual schedule, she was already sleeping.

"Mother, I'm going to wash up." Uchiha Mikoto said, and then planned to wash up and go to bed.

She didn't know that Miko Uchiha saw her and Nara Shikaro walking home side by side just now, talking and laughing on the second floor.

"Mikoto, you came back a little late today." Uchiha Miko called out to Uchiha Mikoto.

"There's a class reunion tonight, so I'm a little late." Uchiha Mikoto answered.

She had already told Uchiha Miko a few days ago about the class reunion today.

"Come sit here for a while and chat with mom." Uchiha Miko said.

Uchiha Mikoto responded and walked to sit next to Uchiha Mikoto.

Uchiha Miko smelled the smell of alcohol on Uchiha Mikoto: "I drank tonight."

"Drink a little." Uchiha Mikoto nodded.

"Try not to drink next time." Uchiha Miko said.

"Mother, I am already an adult." Uchiha Mikoto said coquettishly to Uchiha Miko.

"I'm worried that you are drunk." Uchiha Miko looked at Uchiha Mikoto and said.

"I only drink two cups at a time. I won't get drunk." Uchiha Mikoto showed Uchiha Miko with her hand a cup the size of which could only hold 50ml of soju.

"No matter how much you drink, it's not good for girls to drink." Uchiha Miko said seriously.

"I understand, mother." Uchiha Mikoto smiled on the surface, but in her heart she thought that although "I understand," I still have to continue doing it.

"Mikoto, the person who will send you back tonight is probably the classmate who came to see you last time." After the previous chat, Uchiha Miko revealed the real reason why she called Uchiha Mikoto tonight.

"Yes, Mother." Uchiha Mikoto did not deny it.

When Uchiha Miko asked this, she must have seen her and Nara Shikaki. If she continued to deny it, it would seem a bit cover-up.

"Mikoto, you have been too close to him recently." Uchiha Miko said with a serious expression.

"Mother, you misunderstood. Lucheng and I are really just good friends, and I only treat him as a good friend." Uchiha Mikoto explained.

She didn't know why she made it clear last time that she and Nara Shikaki were just friends, but Uchiha Miko still didn't believe her, thinking that her relationship with Nara Shikoshi was unclear.

"Mikoto, I believe you are just friends with your classmate named Nara Shikaro now." Facing Uchiha Mikoto's explanation, Uchiha Miko said seriously:

"But you have never been in love, so you may not know how to control the distance between you and a boy. You also don't realize that you and him are now more than friends."

She told Uchiha Mikoto about this last time, but judging from what happened tonight, Uchiha Mikoto didn't take her words seriously at all.

Although Uchiha Mikoto and Nara Shikaro may be just friends now, after all, they are both the same age and are in adolescence, so they will have feelings for each other.

Over the years, the Uchiha family has had ninjas who have fallen in love outside the clan, but the results have always been very bad.Uchiha Mikoto is her daughter, so she doesn't want Uchiha Mikoto to go down the wrong path.

"Mother, do you want to interfere with me making friends now?" Uchiha Mikoto said angrily.

What she heard from Uchiha Miko's words told her to keep a distance from Nara Shikaki, even if they were good friends.

"I'm not interfering with your making friends, I'm asking you to be careful when making friends." Uchiha Miko was also a little angry.

She remembered that Uchiha Mikoto used to be very obedient, but now she actually dared to talk back to her.

"Mother, I know very well that my relationship with Lucheng is just a good friend, and I only regard him as a good friend. I have never thought of falling in love with him." Uchiha Mikoto felt aggrieved, and her lips trembled slightly when she spoke.

"If one day you really fall in love with him, it will be too late by then." This was the second time that Uchiha Mikoto felt Uchiha Mikoto's "stubbornness".

"That day will never come." Uchiha Mikoto said firmly, then stood up from the sofa: "Mother, I'm tired, so I'm going to rest first."

After saying that, Uchiha Mikoto turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

This night was the second conflict between mother and son Uchiha Miko and Uchiha Mikoto this year.

The next day, in the morning.

Nara Shikagi gets up early and "cuts wood" in the yard of his house.

After receiving the reward from the system and becoming a puppet master, Nara Shikagi began to purchase materials and began to create his own puppets.

Puppet masters are also distinguished by their strength, and the simplest and most intuitive expression is the number of puppets they can control at the same time.

Generally speaking, a puppet master who can only control one puppet at a time has the same strength as an ordinary genin.

A puppet master who can control two puppets at the same time is as powerful as an ordinary chuunin.

A puppet master who can control three puppets at the same time is as powerful as an ordinary jounin.

A puppet master who can control five puppets at the same time has reached the "ceiling" of ninja elite jounin.

Chiyo, who can control ten puppets at the same time, and Scorpion, who can control a hundred puppets at the same time, are undoubtedly shadow-level powerhouses.

With Nara Shikagi's "mastery" level of puppetry skills, he can easily control two puppets at the same time. Controlling a third puppet will double the consumption of his own chakra and energy, which is a bit reluctant.

In other words, Nara Shikagi's current attainments in puppetry are almost at the level of a special jounin.

Of course, correspondingly, Nara Shika's puppet-making technology is also at this level.

Because the puppet technique can greatly improve the strength, Nara Shikagi made puppets at home whenever he had time during this period.

Considering that he can barely control three puppets at the same time, he needs to create at least six puppets, two of which are used for combat and the other four as backup.

It is very normal for a puppet master's puppet to be damaged during a battle. Without a spare puppet, it is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for a puppet master.

As of today, Nara Shikagi has already made the configuration of two puppets.

He only needs to make four more puppets, and then wait for the special chakra lines to control the puppets that he bought at a "high price" to "arrive" and assemble them, then he can use puppetry and become a genuine puppet master.
