Sharing Tea in the Shade with Strawberry Cake

Natsuki's lilac eyes shifted between Monsoon and Ciel as they discussed the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. The topic carried great weight for both of them, and she felt responsible for providing any information that could help them on this journey.

"My brother has indeed uncovered scrolls that detail the technique," Natsuki began, her voice measured and thoughtful. "However, he has kept the specifics close to the vest. He wants to ensure that it is used responsibly and not misused. He has mentioned that it involves a deep bond between two Mangekyo Sharingan users who are close relatives. The process itself is intricate and requires significant chakra and emotional connection."

Natsuki paused momentarily, her gaze drifting to the nearby bustling streets as she collected her thoughts.

"From what I understand, it is a challenging and potentially dangerous path, but it offers the possibility of achieving the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan without the risk of blindness. I do not doubt that my brother would be willing to provide guidance and support when the time is right, but he would want to ensure that those who seek it are truly dedicated to the cause and are responsible for its power."

Natsuki's tone held a note of caution as if she understood the gravity of what they were discussing. The Mangekyo Sharingan was a powerful and coveted ability among the Uchiha but came with significant risks and responsibilities. The decision to pursue this path would not be taken lightly.

"Approach this journey with caution and a deep sense of responsibility. Ayato always said this ninja world needs more of those who serve their villages before themselves.."

Natsuki's words conveyed a sense of hope tempered by a healthy dose of realism. The path they had chosen was not without its perils, but with unity and purpose, they had the potential to achieve great things together.

Within the heart of the lively city square, Natsuki immersed herself in delightful company alongside Monsoon, Ciel, and Zraix. The ambient symphony of laughter and the city's hum supported their engaging conversation. As she gracefully concluded her tea, Natsuki wore a warm smile and, with a touch of elegance, excused herself from the lively discourse.

"Your company has been truly delightful. Until our paths cross again, take care, my friends," she expressed, her words carrying the same warmth as the setting sun that painted the city square with a golden glow. A refined bow punctuated her sentiment, a gesture of gratitude and poise.

With her trusted umbrella in hand, Natsuki began a seamless dance through the vibrant tapestry of the square. Each step resonated with purpose, harmonizing with the lively rhythm of the city. The setting sun casts a golden hue over the surroundings, enhancing the picturesque scene. As Natsuki blended effortlessly into the ebb and flow of the urban landscape, the warmth of her presence lingered, leaving behind a memory as enchanting as the city itself.
