"Xin, I might have to leave the squad and join the Police Force," Mikoto said with a smile, watching Xin devour the food she prepared. Once he had almost finished, her smile faded, replaced by a more somber expression.
"Join the Police Force?" Xin was taken aback.
He was still contemplating how to broach the subject with her, what reasons to give for his advice, and here Mikoto was bringing it up herself.
Was this what they called a timely pillow when one is dozing off?
Amused by his own thoughts, Xin couldn't help but laugh.
"It's because of your aunt, right?" Xin stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, looking at her.
Mikoto nodded reluctantly. "Last night, Uchiha Fugaku, the clan's young leader, came to our house representing the clan head. He spoke with my mother about how promising they think I am and that they'd like me to join the Police Force in a clerical role. They would also assign a senior ninja to mentor my training."
"My mother agreed, believing it's the best for my growth, especially since the Uchihas understand the Sharingan best."
In terms of using the Sharingan, Xin indeed couldn't match the expertise of those Uchiha who had been activating it for years. With such a mentor, Mikoto's abilities would surely improve swiftly and correctly.
What to do? Will Xin agree?
If he gets upset, how should I appease him?
Mikoto's heart was in turmoil.
"This is actually a good thing," Xin finally said.
"Huh?" Mikoto was prepared for Xin's anger, but his response caught her off guard.
Setting down his chopsticks, Xin gently squeezed Mikoto's cheeks, "Honestly, if you hadn't mentioned it, I was going to suggest you join the Police Force myself."
"The new war is coming, and the village won't keep me idle. I'll likely be sent to the battlefields in the Land of Rain or the Hidden Rain Village. Minato and I might have to leave, and if you were to stay in the village without a proper team, joining the Police Force and getting Uchiha training would be safer and more beneficial for you."
"But wouldn't that be dangerous for you on the battlefield?" Mikoto, forgetting that Xin was still pinching her cheeks, spoke with a slight whistle.
At that moment, her concerns were solely about the dangers Xin might face on the battlefield.
"How could it be?" Xin quickly let go of her cheeks, careful not to leave any marks.
With a confident smile, he reassured her, "Even on the battlefield, I'll be the one hunting the enemies, not the other way around. Aren't you confident in my abilities?"
Sure, as if only you get to kill the enemies and they can't touch you. You sure dream big. But indeed, Xin had the strength to protect himself on the battlefield.
