Pfft~~~
Xin nearly choked on his tea, spitting it out in surprise.
Buy a house on a whim? Talk about filthy rich!
But considering Kushina's wealth, buying a house in this relatively quiet area was like a drop in the ocean. She could buy an entire street if she wanted to.
"As long as it makes you happy," Xin said, not quite sure how to respond to a wealthy woman who casually throws around the idea of buying houses.
While his own little stash of money wasn't small, it was nothing compared to Kushina's.
The three of them chatted for a while, mostly about the recent events on the battlefield, which Kushina and Mikoto were keenly curious about.
After a while, Kushina glanced at the time and decided to head back, not wanting to keep the Anbu waiting or leave Nami wondering where she was.
"Mikoto-sis, if there's something you want to say, just say it," Xin prompted, noticing Mikoto had been holding back while Kushina was around.
"It's... about the clan..." Mikoto began, hesitating, clearly uncomfortable.
Xin smiled. "Mikoto-sis, there's no need to feel awkward. You're just the messenger, and I already know what you're going to say. Lately, some people from the Uchiha clan have been visiting your house a lot, haven't they?"
"Yes," Mikoto admitted with a strained smile. "Not only have they been coming by often, but they've also been helping me out at the police department, giving me the easiest tasks."
"They've even managed to sway my mother,"
She added, her voice tinged with frustration. "That's only natural,"
Xin chuckled. "Your mom was good friends with mine, and she knows my mother's last wish was for me to return to the Uchiha clan. It's not surprising they were able to convince her. But you don't need to feel bad about it, Mikoto-sis."
"I'll take care of it, so you don't have to worry. Are you heading back now?"
"Yes, I think I'll go," Mikoto said, getting up with a small smile. If Tsunade hadn't been there, she might have stayed longer.
After all, they had grown up together, and there were some... unresolved feelings between them.
But with Tsunade passed out in the guest room, staying the night might just make things awkward in the morning.
"Alright, then. Take care on your way home," Xin said.
"Don't worry, I will." Mikoto grinned, flexing her arm playfully. "Don't underestimate me."
"Your Sharingan evolved, didn't it?" Xin asked, noticing her confident demeanor.
"Ugh, no fun!" Mikoto pouted, realizing Xin had figured it out so easily. Nothing gets past him, she thought, exasperated.
After seeing Mikoto off, Xin hopped up to the rooftop, glancing at the Anbu agents hidden in the shadows, protecting Kushina.
"You guys are really dedicated, huh," He muttered, a bit annoyed.
When things are critical, they're nowhere to be found, but when there's nothing to do, they're glued to your side.
