Bab 55: **Chapter 55: Uchiha Mikoto’s Problem!**
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, tucking the information away with a furrowed brow. The potential impact of the higher-ups' actions on the Uchiha clan was significant, especially given Tani's candidacy in the upcoming Hokage election. He understood the delicate balance that needed to be maintained; any provocation from the village's leadership could lead to unnecessary conflict.
"Reiki, rest at my home for now. I'll return shortly," Fugaku instructed before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
Left alone, Reiki felt a mix of exhaustion and concern. He had just undergone a taxing healing session, and now he needed to recover. But before he could voice his intention to leave, Fugaku called out, "Mikoto, please take care of Brother Reiki while I consult with the clan leaders."
"Of course," Uchiha Mikoto replied with a warm smile, her demeanor immediately calming Reiki's racing thoughts.
He couldn't bring himself to refuse her gentle invitation, and so he settled in.
"Is something wrong?" Uchiha Mikoto asked, noticing his sudden stillness.
Reiki's medical instincts kicked in as he observed the radar-like readings on the panel that now replaced his earlier alerts for injured individuals. Uchiha Mikoto appeared as a red dot, indicating a significant health issue.
"Mikoto-sama, are you… sick?" he asked cautiously.
"Me? No, I'm perfectly fine!" she replied, her tone light. "It might just be because I'm pregnant that you're getting the wrong impression."
"Pregnant?" The implications of this hit Reiki suddenly. Uchiha Mikoto was indeed carrying Uchiha Itachi, a child destined for greatness and tragedy. With Itachi's known health issues in mind, Reiki's worry deepened.
"Mikoto-sama, if you don't mind, could I check your condition later? I want to ensure everything is alright," he said, his voice earnest.
"Sure, if it's not too much trouble," Mikoto replied, her smile still intact as she noticed his serious tone.
Reiki nodded and, fatigued from the day's events, let sleep overtake him.

He awoke hours later, feeling disoriented. "Lord Fugaku, Lady Mikoto… did I faint?" Reiki mumbled, pushing himself up from where he lay.
"You collapsed from exhaustion," Fugaku said, his expression firm yet concerned. "Tsunade has been informed and will be here shortly."
"Ah," Reiki nodded, feeling the remnants of fatigue. He checked his chakra levels and noticed they had fully recovered, much to his relief.
"Reiki…" Tsunade's voice cut through the air as she entered the room. Concern etched her features upon seeing him weak. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Just a little tired," he assured her with a soft smile.
Tsunade crossed her arms, her frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. "You really need to take better care of yourself. I'll deal with you later," she warned.
"Actually, I still have things to do," Reiki interjected, determination hardening his resolve.
"Like what?" Tsunade asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Mikoto-sama has a serious health problem," Reiki replied bluntly. "If she doesn't receive timely treatment, it could impact the fetus in her belly."
Both Fugaku and Mikoto's eyes widened in shock, while Tsunade looked at Reiki with a mix of surprise and concern.
"Is there something wrong with Mikoto's body?" Fugaku asked, bewildered.
"I don't know," Reiki admitted. "But I felt something when I scanned her. I need to check her condition further."
Tsunade stepped forward, her demeanor shifting to one of professionalism. "Let me examine her."
"Lord Fugaku, can you step outside for a moment?" Reiki requested, his voice steady.
Fugaku nodded without hesitation, leaving the room.
Reiki approached Mikoto and placed a hand gently on her belly, focusing his chakra. His system's judgment was correct; it wasn't Mikoto's health that was concerning—it was the fetus, who was none other than Uchiha Itachi.
"Mikoto-sama, can you tell me about your diet?" he asked, shifting to a more investigative tone.
"Of course, I usually eat plenty of nutritious food…" she began, detailing her meals and habits. "I even consulted with the hospital for advice on what would be safe for the baby."
Reiki listened intently, piecing together the puzzle. "But… the nutrients you're taking in are excessive," he deduced. "Some of your foods are medicinal in nature, which can be harmful in large quantities. It's likely contributing to the fetus's health issues."
Mikoto's brow furrowed. "You think that's the cause?"
"Yes," Reiki confirmed. "If you continue to overload on rich nutrients, it may harm both you and the baby. It's essential to maintain a balanced diet that isn't overly medicinal."
Tsunade returned, having conducted her own examination. "Mikoto's overall health appears fine, but I'll need to monitor her and the fetus closely," she declared, her eyes sharp with focus.
"Thank you, Tsunade," Reiki said, relief flooding through him. "I believe Mikoto should adjust her diet to avoid further complications."
"I'll help with that," Tsunade agreed, taking charge of the situation. "Mikoto, let's come up with a proper meal plan together."
As they discussed potential foods and adjustments, Reiki felt a surge of pride. He had acted on his instincts, preventing a potential crisis within the Uchiha clan. With his skills, he hoped to ensure a healthier future for Uchiha Itachi and his family.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Reiki knew he had to stay vigilant, not just for Mikoto and her unborn child, but for all of Konoha. The stakes were higher than ever, and he was determined to play his part.
