Chapter 83: Chapter 83

"Yōichi-san, you're back."

"Yes, thank you for guarding the gate, Naoki-kun."

"It's no trouble, Yōichi-san."

Due to frequently entering and leaving the village over the past year, Yōichi and the ninja guarding Konoha's gate had become acquainted. After greeting each other, he, along with Mina, headed into the village.

It is now the 46th year of Konoha, a year since Yōichi copied the Sealing Technique scroll from the Hokage Building.

Over this year, aside from a brief period of training, Yōichi spent most of his time on high-difficulty missions, earning a significant reputation in the ninja world.

His two-person squad with Mina has become well-known throughout the ninja world.

Konoha's Lightning Fang!

Swift as a flash of lightning, his blade's edge faster than a bolt of lightning!

This is the moniker Yōichi made for himself in the ninja world, and it wasn't self-proclaimed but given by other ninja villages.

With another Konoha's White Fang and now a Konoha's Lightning Fang, earning a title similar to Sakumo, it's clear the impression Yōichi has left on other villages, closely mirroring that of Sakumo.

Both are mission-oriented ninjas. Even when Yōichi's teammates were wiped out during his Chūnin days, he didn't consider the mission a failure. To this day, his mission success rate is 100%.

Lightning Fang was originally one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, but over this year, others in the ninja world have grown accustomed to referring to Yōichi as Lightning Fang.

After all, the Mist's Lightning Fang rarely appeared in the ninja world, while Yōichi, for the sake of missions, frequented various major and minor countries; A-rank missions already involved inter-country affairs, and the lowest level of missions he took were A-rank.

Within a year, he completed eighty-four A-rank missions and forty-one S-rank missions. Such efficiency in completing missions is among the highest in Konoha.

Unless Konoha's White Fang worked year-round without rest, it would be hard to surpass Yōichi in the number of missions.

His renown also stems from a super S-rank mission that no one in Konoha had ever taken before.

Collecting intelligence on the perfect Jinchūriki of the Cloud Village!

This mission was nearly untouchable, as even Orochimaru, who once wreaked havoc in the Cloud Village and released the Eight Tails, didn't want to venture there again.

Following an attempt by the Cloud Village to capture Kushina, nearly taking away Konoha's Jinchūriki candidate, Konoha used all its spies in the Cloud Village to aid Orochimaru's infiltration. It took a long time to find an opportunity to release the Eight Tails.

However, after that incident, the Cloud Village purged its spies, leaving Konoha without any in the Cloud. Gathering intelligence became difficult.

Moreover, not many years after that, a Jinchūriki capable of controlling the Tailed Beast's power appeared in the Cloud Village.

There must be a secret behind this. Konoha was eager to learn it, hoping to utilize the Nine Tails' power.

As the strongest Tailed Beast, controlling the Nine Tails' power would definitely become Konoha's top combat force, especially since Konoha's previous generation witnessed the immense strength of controlling the Nine Tails' power.

Unfortunately, Kushina couldn't achieve this, not only failing to control the Nine Tails' power but also risking its influence at all times.

Thus, knowing the Cloud Village had a method to control Tailed Beasts, Konoha's high command immediately issued this nearly super S-rank difficult mission, even sending Anbu and Root to obtain this method.

But ultimately, all efforts failed.

Controlling Tailed Beast power is as crucial to the Cloud Village as Konoha's Sealing Techniques, making it incredibly difficult to acquire. Thus, the mission remained untouched by most.

However, once Yōichi learned of it, he casually took on this mission.

And he actually completed it!

Relying on his growing sensory abilities and the [Demon Passport], Yōichi not only stole the perfect Jinchūriki training method but also copied all of the Cloud Village's ninjutsu secrets and took a copy with him.

The originals were destroyed with an explosive tag!

Had he not attempted to kill the Third Raikage influenced by the [Demon Passport], Yōichi could have left the Cloud Village without any trouble.

Even without killing the Third Raikage, Yōichi's actions were enough to make a name for himself in the ninja world; following this, the Cloud Village issued a kill order against him.

And they severely demanded Konoha hand him over, threatening war otherwise.

Naturally, Konoha did not comply. Konoha remains the victor of the Second Great Ninja War, with Konoha's White Fang still alive, and the Uchiha being the village's foremost clan, Yōichi a hero who completed missions.

Handing him over would demoralize the village.

Even Danzō, who despised Yōichi the most, didn't suggest this. Proposing such a trade to avoid war would lead to backlash, with many storming the Shimura household to root out any Cloud spies.

Being marked for death by the Cloud Village actually raised Yōichi's standing in the village.

An enemy's foe is our hero. Since the Cloud despises him, he is a hero to Konoha.

The bad reputation from his Chūnin days diminished significantly, and those former teammates who slandered Yōichi kept a low profile.

Walking through the village, Yōichi received admiring glances from women.

But Mina, following behind, could accurately identify 'enemies' and fiercely returned their glares.

Soon after completing the mission, Yōichi and Mina headed to the Uchiha district.

Since drawing the [Divine Tongue] a year ago, Yōichi hadn't drawn any significant abilities.

Out of twelve abilities, eleven were of little use, the only useful one being related to the tongue.

[Divine Alchemist]: After tasting, one can quickly and accurately analyze the composition and preparation process of any poison and medicine.]

Yōichi used this ability to help Mina control the composition of dozens of poisons, at the cost of numbing his tongue for a long time. Even a quick taste followed by spitting and rinsing sometimes resulted in poison burns.

The poisons of the ninja world are unusual, some specifically targeting chakra. But this skill was not useless, at least enhancing Mina's detoxification ability significantly.

Knowing the poison's composition clarifies its effects, allowing for targeted treatment and rapid extraction of the poison.

Frankly, Mina's healing ability now surpasses even Tsunade's, capable of healing internal organ damage.

However, after that one, Yōichi's luck dwindled.

His current ability is [God of Cooking], allowing him to perfectly bring out the flavor of ingredients, even turning wilted vegetables into the freshest dishes through his hands.

He also mastered top-level culinary skills instinctively, making delicious dishes even when pouring a bottle of soy sauce into the pan by accident.

Unfortunately, the ability only lasts a month, and during this time, Yōichi has been cooking, pleased even with his own creations.

Regarding forbidden jutsu, although there's some progress with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yōichi can only manage large-scale teleportation. With multiple Flying Thunder God marks within a hundred square meters, sensing might not be precise.

Sensing point A might result in teleporting to point B. With such a small range and numerous marks, it's easy to make mistakes.

However, Yōichi's training time hasn't been long, focusing on completing missions over the past year, with little time for training, also splitting his attention to research the Reanimation Jutsu.

"Mina, you go ahead. I need to discuss something with the Second Elder."

"Understood, Yōichi-sama."

Mina nodded, then, as Yōichi prepared to leave, she hesitantly grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Yōichi-sama, will you cook tonight?"

"Sure, buy whatever you like, and I'll handle it tonight!"

Yōichi casually replied, with only two days left of his ability and little effort needed to create a delicious meal.

"Thank you, Yōichi-sama."

Mina smiled and then headed towards the village shops.

Yōichi then went to the Second Elder's home, presented a gift, and entered.

"Yōichi, I expected you'd be back soon. Take a seat."

Kenji looked at the young man before him, increasingly satisfied. This was the hope for the Uchiha clan's resurgence, surpassing any Uchiha he had seen, and understanding how to develop the clan even more than the former clan leader, Madara.

"How long do you plan to stay in the clan this time?"

Yōichi sat down and said, "I'm not taking those high-level missions for now. After running around for a year, it's time to improve my own strength.

However, the Third has asked me to lead a team, and Mina to join the medical team. I've agreed, so the appointment will likely come in a few days."

"Leading a team? Hopefully, he assigns you some promising youngsters. Otherwise, no amount of effort will make up for lack of talent."

Kenji shook his head, "But leading a team can cultivate ninjas friendly towards the Uchiha. By the way, didn't a clan member also graduate this year? Did the Third mention having you lead them?"

"I'm not sure. If their talent is mediocre, I'll just use a Shadow Clone to lead the team."

Yōichi mentioned, as leading a team in the early stages is relatively easy, requiring only to accumulate mission experience for the Genin.

"By the way, Elder Kenji, how's the clan doing?"

"The clan is doing well, though Fugaku has been quite influential. With you not around much this year, he's managed to sway many clan members to his side."

Kenji mentioned with a smile. Despite bringing up something unfavorable, his smile indicated it wasn't a major concern.

"There's a genius in the clan a few years younger than you who has already become a Chūnin and advanced his Sharingan to two tomoe, almost like you two years ago. Unfortunately, he's a descendant of Kagami, inheriting not only Kagami's talents but also his ideology."

"Are you talking about Shisui?"

"Yes, he suddenly left the Police Force a year ago and then joined a mission team arranged by the Third, now having advanced to Chūnin. He's another genius in the making, sadly, for the village."

"Fugaku has given Shisui a lot of support, practically seeing him as the clan's hope. However, I believe Shisui's talents still fall short of yours."

"It doesn't matter. By the time his abilities peak, I should be both the clan leader and the village's Hokage. Since he's Kagami's descendant, he won't consider betraying the village. No matter how powerful, he will have to obey."

Yōichi spoke nonchalantly. There's a way to deal with both the honorable and the deceitful. It will take a while for Uchiha Shisui to reach the pinnacle of a ninja.

By then, why should Yōichi be any less capable than someone younger?

Handling someone like Shisui is easy if they are loyal to the rules; you just use the rules against them.

"The pharmaceutical factory's savings are also increasing. Even after opening another combat uniform research facility, we still have a surplus of six hundred million ryō this year. Once the ninja game launches next year, it should start making money."

Kenji shared the earnings from the past year, barely containing his smile.

He was surprised by how much money the pharmaceuticals had made. Despite continuous spending, they still managed to save over six hundred million ryō. Moreover, the factory's profits are increasing monthly, with last month's net profit reaching two hundred and sixty million ryō.

The ninja game hasn't been released yet, but Yōichi has said it could rival the pharmaceutical factory in profitability, a claim Kenji doesn't doubt.

Decades later, collecting cards in ninja games became ubiquitous, with just the spendthrifts in the ninja world enabling him to make a fortune.

Even with several more combat uniform research facilities, the Uchiha clan could easily afford them.

"Yōichi, your talents shine in every area. Even though the ninja game hasn't started making money yet, it's just a matter of time. Just the pharmaceutical factory alone is enough for you to implement your plans."

The pharmaceutical factory's profitability surprised even Kenji, with its biggest earner not being health supplements but rather Viagra, which rarely advertised. It accounted for half the profits, with orders coming in daily, particularly popular among nobles and the wealthy.

However, for Yōichi, neither the pharmaceutical factory nor the ninja game are his main focus. He's currently waiting for the combat uniforms to be manufactured.

Despite having a complete manufacturing process, creating the machinery for Saiyan combat uniforms isn't straightforward. If successful, it could revolutionize warfare.

Apart from continuous Fire Release attacks, the combat uniforms offer impressive defense, even against explosive tags. Minor ninjutsu and shuriken can essentially be ignored.

Now, those aligned with the Second Elder, especially the militant faction within the Uchiha, hold great respect for Yōichi, including Uchiha Hikawa.

Three months ago, Yōichi and Hikawa sparred within the clan grounds. Whether it was Fire Release ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu, Hikawa lost in every aspect.

Thanks to Godzilla within him, Yōichi could release high temperatures at any time, enhancing his Fire Release ninjutsu. The battle of genjutsu boiled down to control over the Sharingan. Yōichi had stolen mental energy several times, in addition to constantly practicing sensory ninjutsu.

His mastery over Yin Release chakra had improved, giving him an edge in genjutsu battles.

As for the final hand-to-hand combat, it was essentially sparing Hikawa's feelings. If Yōichi had been serious from the start, Hikawa wouldn't have lasted three minutes.

Since then, Hikawa has believed Yōichi will undoubtedly become the clan leader, willingly following his command.

Currently, Yōichi holds no official position. If he were the captain of the Police Force, he would immediately attract a group of militant clan members.

"Let's wait for the next clan meeting then, Elder Kenji. Isn't it scheduled in a few days?"

"Correct, someone will notify you."

After finishing the conversation, Kenji thought of Fugaku, who was confident in leading the Uchiha to glory upon becoming clan leader, but unfortunately lacked the capability.

"Yōichi, if Fugaku knows his limits, try to leave him some dignity. He's worked hard for the clan."

"Don't worry, Elder Kenji. After all, he's the clan leader. He deserves to maintain his dignity."

After chatting a bit more, Yōichi took his leave.

What Yōichi plans to do next is all related to enhancing his strength.

Waiting for new abilities to refresh, attempting to train in Sage Mode, and using the power from the star stone to evolve Godzilla.

The last use of the [Demon Passport] was in the Star Village. At the time, Yōichi was on a mission in the Land of Rain, with the Star Village in the neighboring Land of Bears, making it a convenient detour.

He infiltrated the village, getting close to the star stone, but was tricked by the cunning Star Ninja into finding a fake. Eventually, Yōichi directly used the [Demon Passport], grabbing the Third Star Ninja by the neck, and forced him to hand over the star stone.

Yet, Yōichi hasn't utilized the star stone's power for training, concerned about potential risks. Hence, he ordered a body observation device, allowing Mina to monitor his training state while using the star stone.

Once the device arrives, Yōichi will begin training with the star stone.

Upon returning home, Yōichi hears two familiar voices inside.

Removing his shoes and entering, he's surprised to find Tsunade. "Lady Tsunade, what brings you here?"

It's rare for a Senju to visit the Uchiha district, making this her second visit.

Mina sheepishly explained, "Sorry, Yōichi-sama. Lady Tsunade is leaving the day after tomorrow, so I wanted to thank her for her past care by inviting her to dinner. I didn't have a chance to tell you."

"It's fine. But, Lady Tsunade, you're leaving... Konoha?"

Yōichi waved off the concern, then turned to Tsunade.

He remembered Tsunade participating in the Third Great Ninja War and leaving the village with Shizune only after she became a Chūnin.

"Yes, I want to experience more casinos and travel the world. Staying in the village is too boring!"

Tsunade clenched her fist, presenting it as a grand ideal, though Yōichi knew it was a lie.

"I had promised the old man I'd stay longer, but with Mina joining the medical team, the village doesn't need me anymore. If I can leave earlier, why stay?"

"How could that be? Lady Tsunade, your presence alone unites people's hearts in the village."

As Yōichi spoke, his gaze unintentionally drifted towards Tsunade's cleavage, not deliberately, but it seemed to attract attention like a magnet.

Noticing this, Mina glanced at Tsunade's voluptuous figure, then down at her own, puffing her cheeks in frustration.

She was determined to extract recipes and secret techniques from Tsunade before her departure.

Tsunade shook her head, "Eventually, it's up to you young ones to uphold the village. I'd better retire early. With Mina in the medical team, I can travel with peace of mind."

This likely wasn't her true sentiment. After developing hemophobia, unable to perform surgeries, Tsunade's greatest contribution to the village might be as a morale-boosting mascot, an intolerable situation for her.

With Mina joining the medical team, her medical skills, while not as advanced as Tsunade's, surpassed hers due to her physical constitution. Knowing this, Tsunade naturally didn't want to stay in the village as a mere figurehead.

"Then, I'll start cooking."

Yōichi said and headed to the kitchen, where Mina had bought plenty of ingredients. But no amount of ingredients could challenge him.

While cooking, Yōichi faintly heard Mina pleading with Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade... Please teach me, it's very important to me... Teacher Tsunade."

"Mina, I've told you, it's all about talent."

"You're lying. You were flat as a board when you were young!"

Yōichi thought to himself but didn't intend to expose Tsunade's lie, focusing instead on cooking.

---

"Yōichi-san, the Hokage has ordered you to gather at the Hokage Building."

A ninja arrived at Yōichi's usual training ground with this message, then departed.

Since returning and completing his mission, two days had passed, likely concerning the assignment of Genin to his squad, coinciding with the Ninja Academy graduation day.

Yōichi prepared himself and headed to the Hokage Building.

Upon arrival, he found eight people already present, all Jōnin from the village.

One particularly stood out with his golden hair, the increasingly famous Golden Flash, Minato.

He successfully learned and modified the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique into a space-time ninjutsu suited for himself. In recent years, his missions have also been flawless, with no escape once marked by the Flying Thunder God seal.

"Now that you're here, let's discuss the ninja teams. This was initiated by the Second Hokage-"

Hiruzen started discussing the Jōnin instructors, including a lot of talk about the Will of Fire, making Yōichi want to tune out.

"Due to a change in numbers, we're adding Kakashi to this batch of graduates, Minato, Kakashi will be under your charge."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Minato immediately agreed, though he and others likely had questions.

It would seem more logical for Kakashi to join Yōichi's squad, given their better relationship, but he was assigned to Minato.

However, Sarutobi didn't elaborate, proceeding with the ninja assignments: "Team 1: Sarutobi Asuma , Tatami Iwashi , and Namiashi Raidō , under the guidance of Sarutobi Shinji; Team 2: Might Guy, Ebisu, and Shiranui Genma, under the guidance of Keita Matsumoto."

"Team 7: Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin, under the guidance of Minato Namikaze. Team 8: Yūhi Kurenai, Hyūga Rumi, and Tsushima Kazuhito under the guidance of Uchiha Yōichi."

The Ninja Academy's graduating class consisted of five teams this year, with the top class's twenty-seven students assigned to the nine Jōnin present.

The remaining graduates will be led by special Jōnin or Chūnin.

"Alright, if there are no questions about the assignments, head to the Ninja Academy to meet your teams. If you find any issues, come back to me for adjustments."

After Sarutobi finished, seeing no objections, he dismissed the nine Jōnin.

Leaving the Hokage Building, Yōichi was about to head to the Ninja Academy when he heard someone call him.

Turning around, he saw Minato. "Do you need something, Minato-san?"

"Actually, it's not much. Kushina hasn't seen her clan member in a long time and asked me to inquire."

Minato smiled awkwardly, then added, "And about Kakashi, Yōichi-san, do you have any advice for him?"

"No particular advice. Kakashi is a genius; just ensure he doesn't die. He'll improve on his own."

Yōichi replied, having never really coached Kakashi, only advising caution during missions.

"As for Mina, she recently joined the medical team. I'm not sure about her schedule, but Kushina can visit the hospital to find Mina."

Minato laughed awkwardly, knowing if Kushina could move freely, he wouldn't need to relay messages.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head to the Ninja Academy."

After seeing Minato had no further questions, Yōichi turned and left.

He didn't plan any tests or preach about the Will of Fire; in his team, obedience was sufficient.

Arriving at the Ninja Academy, Yōichi went straight to the graduating class, finding he was the first instructor to arrive.

"Kurenai Yūhi, Rumi Hyūga, and Kazuhito Tsushima, come with me."

As he left, he encountered Kakashi.

"Captain, what are you doing here? Are you becoming an instructor?"

Kakashi knew Yōichi had become a jōnin a year ago, forming a squad for high-difficulty missions and earning the title of Konoha's Lightning Fang in the ninja world.

"You can't call me captain anymore, Kakashi. Unfortunately, you're not in my squad. You should call me senpai."

Yōichi smiled, then asked, "Why are you back at the Ninja Academy?"

"I didn't want to, but my father said if I didn't find peers as teammates, I'd have to join the front line in a ninja battalion."

With Kakashi's talent, joining a ninja battalion would be a waste, so he had to return to the academy.

Although he had been a Chūnin for two years, his formal mission record was sparse.

Meanwhile, in the classroom, the Genin were surprised after Yōichi left.

"Kurenai, was that your squad's instructor? He looks so young."

"He seems only a few grades older than us and already a Jōnin?"

"Hey,

 Asuma, didn't you say you were in the same class as Kurenai? How did you end up in Team 1? Haha."

"Shut it!"

The classroom buzzed with chatter, but Kurenai, Rumi, and Kazuhito eventually left.

Asuma felt indignant seeing Kurenai leave. He decided to have a word with his grandfather later, having been promised to be in the same team as Kurenai.
