24 - Peace Loving Sisters
It has been three days since the Uchiha sisters had reconciled. They have grown fond of each other. Sasuke was also pleased with the news that his daughters are now at peace with each other.
While Boruto had still been recuperating, Sarada stayed with Karin's house. The two sisters got to talk a lot.
"Sarada, I have a press conference tomorrow regarding international security. I'd like you to go with me." Kasai invited her.
"But I am not part of any of that. I would seem like a gate crasher on someone's party." Sarada refused.
"You are part of world security. You're a kunoichi. I know you're on a security -related mission with Boruto. Why else would you be here? But I won't ask you what that is. I know it is a Konoha secret.
Since I am a member of the United Nations world peace committee, I know there had been security threat to world peace.
There has been intel about the creation of WMD (weapon of massive destruction) here in the hidden mist. I assume your mission is related to that.
I too was checking on that. So how about some collaboration?" Kasai offered.
"I cannot decide on collaboration. It is for Uncle Naruto to decide. He is the hokage." Sarada said. "But I can go with you tomorrow then if you insist."
Sarada thought her sister is a big time world leader. She can't help but be proud of her. She is well informed with world event. She even guessed her mission correctly.
She felt really puny compared to her but she was proud to be her sister. She might have stolen her eyes but she had maximized the use of the Uchiha eye power to help the world.
"You know Kasai, I am so proud of you... my eyes would have been wasted if I kept it with me. But I am happy how you have used it. I have no regrets that those are now yours.
I cannot in any way do the things you did. Even if I have those eyes... So, I salute you. I am very proud to be your sister." Sarada sincerely complimented her.
"Thanks for saying that sis. I am sincerely happy to hear that. You have a good heart."
Kasai said.
"Hey you girls stop those drama let's go to the salon for beauty bonding." Karin interrupted them.
"Yes that should be what we ought to maintain -beauty.. Our beauty is also our power. We cannot disgrace the name Uchiha by looking ugly or even just pretty tomorrow. Sarada we both need to look exceptionally gorgeous. Now smile for me." Kasai fixed Sarada's hair and checked on her beauty.
"But are you sure I need to go with you? I have not faced the media camera since birth." Sarada was apprehensive.
"I plan to introduce you to the world as the real owner of these eyes. As the silent heroine behind saving millions of lives." Kasai said.
"But what story would you tell them. We can't tell them the whole story..I don't need recognition or whatever" Sarada was worried.
"Leave it to me. I know how to tickle the press. " Kasai held Sarada's hand.
"I am not doing this for recognition. It is primarily to appease the world. An additional Uchiha helping to achieve world peace would reduce fear from people yet incite fear to the enemies of peace." Kasai explained.
"You said primarily... it means there is another reason." Sarada asked.
"I have my personal agenda of erasing the label WRETCHED and CURSED to the Uchiha clan. It is such an ugly historical record we have there. I am not proud of it
I want our descendants to feel proud of being an Uchiha. That would be my legacy."
I hope you are one with my ideals, my plans and my legacy Sarada. Do you agree with me? Can you trust me with that?" Kasai asked her.
"You're right sis. Even I, at first cannot accept that I belong to the Uchiha... And about the world peace.. I have little knowledge about it. But I can sense your very noble ambition. So I am in." Sarada approved.

During the press conference
Kasai had introduced Sarada to the media. She had told them about the silent heroine who offered her eyes to her just to save the world.
"Kasai, so how did feel that your sister gave you her eyes?" Media girl asked.
"At first I was angry at her and told her she should not do it. I even told her, she had to be selfish too. But she insisted and convinced me that the lives of many are more important to her. She said it would be a waste to have an Uchiha eye power only for herself. She said it was because she lacked the skills as of that time that she was willing to save people rather than cherish her own eyes." Kasai made up stories to the press.
"Wow. Such a touching story. Sarada didn't you regret it? Now that you are blind." Media man asked her.
"Initially I regret having no eyes. But it was easy after getting full support from my family." Sarada answered coyly.
"She is not just blind you know. She is a blind kunoichi.. She is the only kunoichi in the world who is blind. She can fight well on battles too. Although of course she is not as good as me. But it's ok since we're both pretty." Kasai joked.
Everybody in the press conference laughed.
"You were always a darling Kasai. Sarada, this is your first time on stage, you seemed nervous but you looked strong and confident as any Uchiha. Thank you both of you for the press conference." The emcee closed.
Everyone in the room stood and applauded the sisters.
The peace-loving Uchiha sisters story had pleased the world.
Sarada smiled and waved to the press. She thought Kasai's idea wasn't bad at all. For her, this is her little contribution to world peace and restoring their clan's bad image.
Kasai also waved to the cameras and smiled.
*******
Orochimaru's soul talked to Kasai, "Look how very good Sarada is. She should enjoy the love of the people while she still can.. smile and be happy today... "
Kasai's soul was whining inside the prison cell. "What are you planning to my sister Orochimaru?! Let me out of here."
He answered, "hmmpt...! Do you think I'd let her share my glory? Not even you Kasai... She will be damned soon... you will be doomed forever. The Uchiha can never share with my glory. It shall be Orochimaru's victory in the end... The Uchiha will end up a villain to the world! Hahahahaha..."
