"Well Eiji-chan, how about we talk for a few minutes before that?" The woman had a kind smile on her face…until she activated the Sharingan.

'What the fuċk did I do? This Sharingan is unnecessary...' Eiji started looking for some reason for being in this shit, He looked at Kushina and realized that she was unreliable. She just sat quietly on the couch at a distance while whistling.

'She left me to die' He realized the betrayal instantly.

"What do you want to talk about, Mikoto-nee?" Since there was no way to run.  He decided to face this war like a MAN!

The woman in front of him was Mikoto Uchiha. She was a very kind and loving woman, but she could also be severe and strict when she needed to be, that was what he feared.

Mikoto was a fair-skinned woman with long, black hair, with bangs hanging on either side of her face to frame her cheeks and black eyes. She wore a brown blouse, a dark purple skirt, blue Shinobi sandals, and the fringes on each side of her face considerably longer.

"You know, lately I've been receiving several reports and some very interesting complaints, can you guess what it is?" She asked with a smile, but she looked like a demon inquiring about his sins. Her Sharingan was activated every second.

He started to wonder if he ever did something to provoke her, but to his dismay, he couldn't remember anything.

"I can't figure out what that would be" If he didn't remember, then nothing happened, right?

"Hnnnn"

She just studied him for a few minutes and he started to feel uncomfortable.

"So what do you say about you courting my little niece? Also known to everyone as the Uchiha princess?" She questioned me.

"There is?" His brain stopped working.  "Your niece? Kiyome?" He didn't believe it.

Mikoto simply nodded. "Yes, Kiyome Uchiha, the Uchiha princess, my dear niece. I heard countless reports of a boy actively courting her at all times''

She paused for a few seconds and continued.  "I was surprised to find out it was you, the little boy from the terminal fountains, you know? A lot of elders and Uchihas don't like this at all," she said with a passive expression. He couldn't decipher anything about it.

[E/N: what in the world is a terminal fountain!]

"And what is the problem with me courting someone I like?" Eiji decided to take bold step.

"Do you like her?" Mikoto inquired, testing his resolve.

"Yes, I fell in love as soon as I saw her"

"Aaahhhhh, so cute" kushina shouted

"Shut up kushina, you're not helping" Mikoto suppressed kushina in a second. The latter slumped back into the chair, discouraged.

"I know about your achievements at the academy, but that is not enough for you to have a relationship with her" Mikoto shook her head in denial.

"As well?" He didn't understand why, his mind still lived in modern times, he still hadn't fully adapted to this new lifestyle.

"Graduating with the best grades ever is something splendid, but it's not enough to have my niece's hand, not that I don't agree. But the clan wouldn't accept it" Mikoto explained calmly.

She had already done her homework and researched thoroughly about this young guy in front of her, and she liked a lot about him.

"Clan policies, our clan does not accept marriages to an outsider to preserve the Uchiha lineage, but there are 2 exceptions to this and you currently do not meet any of them" Despite her sharp and severe words, she was not unreasonable.

He was not discouraged, anything goes in war and love. He would even kill the Hokage if necessary.

"What are the exceptions?"

"War conquests or being one of the most powerful Shinobi in Konoha, which replaces the conquests, or a bloodline as good as that of the Uchiha"

"A good bloodline, huh?" He mumbled.

"I don't think you have one since you are a Hatake, so you only have one" Mikoto misunderstood Eiji's murmur.

The room was silent for a few seconds. Kushina started looking at him with sad eyes, as if he had already lost any and all chances of success.

"I have a third alternative" He spoke cunningly.

Mikoto raised his eyebrows in surprise and doubt, "Third? What do you propose?" Was he trying to do business with her?  That audacity, but she liked that.

"What do you know about the Sharingan and the second Hokage?" He asked, he will take full advantage of the knowledge he has gained in his world here. It was as if he were cheating to get married…

Mikoto was taken by surprise and drank her tea while thinking, he just waited silently.

'Where does he want to go with this?' Mikoto thought.

'He has one of the best knowledge on doujutsus today, he has several skills that increase the combat prowess of the user'

"The second Hokage huh?  I'm not sure what to talk about, I never met him. But I believe he was an excellent Shinobi" replied Mikoto. It looked like she was talking politically.

"What you said is right and wrong!" He stated.

'He looks nothing like a child talking' She realized that. "What do you mean by that?"  She didn't expect this to come to this.

'Art of discussion number 1, take control of the conversation' he mumbled mentally.

"You know that the second Hokage hated the Uchiha right?"

"Yes"

"But do you know why?"

It made her think for a moment and all she could think of was an answer. "Because of past lasting wars, where my clan killed several people he knew," she said as if it was obvious.

"Right and wrong again. He didn't hate you all for just being an Uchiha or having a Sharingan, do you know what he called the Sharingan?" He questioned it. He had looked in countless books but he had never been able to find anything about these things in this world.

"The eyes of emotion, many say that Uchihas just hate or are sulky because they get those faces of those who ate shit or are often expressionless, but it's just bullshit-"

"Hahahahahahah ate shit, that was wonderful Eiji-chan" Kushina started to laugh.

* Ahem *

"Continuing, it is the purest nonsense of all" he concluded.

Mikoto's eyes widened the more Eiji spoke. 'He seems to understand our clan more than ourselves, how is that possible? And how does he know so much about the second lord?'

"The Sharingan also has another name, do you know what it is?"

Mikoto shook her head.

"The eyes that reflect love"

Mikoto raised an eyebrow but said nothing, she felt like she would learn a lot here today, regardless of where he had gotten this information from.

"Just as love comes hatred, think of them as two sides of the same coin, the Uchiha treasures love more than anyone, cares more than anyone else, but when you lose your haven, your love, what gives you remain?"

"Hate" Mikoto realized.

"Exactly, just hatred. That's why the second Hokage didn't trust the Uchiha's other than Kagami Uchiha, he wanted to break the cycle of Uchiha hatred."

"How do you know all of this?" Her eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Ninja secret" he replied.

'There's no point in pushing if he doesn't want to talk' sighed Mikoto.

"When an Uchiha plunges into the darkness of the Hate Curse, even the slightest hint or mention of anything connected, even remotely, to the person whose death has caused them to be lost will make them extremely angry and emotional. The problem of Sharingan is that to activate it you have to go through traumatic experiences. And this is where hate comes in, you feel useless, weak, helpless, unsuccessful, so what do you want most about all of this?" Eiji continued.

"Power," he said.

"If I had power I could have saved, if I had power I could have done something, if I had power I could kill the culprit. It all comes down to power, that's where you get lost in the cycle of hatred"

"It's true..." She finally understood everything, But the doubts about how he knew all this had only increased.

"But I think there is a way around this and your problem with the village," I said, I was confident that it would work. Mikoto had long since turned off her Sharingan.

"Is it that obvious?"  She sighed, this problem had come up with some rumors here and there. It had brought a headache for her and her husband.

"Not much, but to understand when the Uchihas pass by civilians, the atmosphere is a little strange." he had witnessed this personally.

"I don't think you're going to give me that information for free, what do you want?"  She was not a fool, she had already realized what he wanted.

"Credits to your clan and the right to relate to Kiyome if she accepts, without your clan interfering, of course," he gave a sly smile.

'That brat' She smiled

'I liked him, but....smart people tend to die early' She was worried.
