"Then, Yōichi-kun, please go ahead and speak."

Even though Fugaku deeply disliked Yōichi, in front of so many clan members, he still had to maintain the appearance of a magnanimous clan leader.

However, the incident at the entrance of the police force, that strike, was still vivid in Fugaku's memory.

"Thank you, clan leader. As some of the clan members might already know, I have established some businesses outside, including the Uchiha Pharmaceutical Factory, which is already profitable. There's also a ninja game that will soon be launched for sale, and a combat suit research factory."

Yōichi spoke calmly, his voice clear enough for all clan members to hear.

While the ninja game and combat suits were unfamiliar to many, the pharmaceutical factory was somewhat known, as even ninjas have the habit of reading newspapers.

Advertisements for the Uchiha Pharmaceutical Factory were becoming annoyingly frequent, opening the newspaper to the glaring message, "You're not healthy! For the sake of your body, quickly purchase XXXX health products!"

It was rumored that Yōichi had made a significant amount of money, though no one knew exactly how much. Nonetheless, there was little envy within the clan.

"The money I've earned is more than I can use, so after discussing with Elder Kenji, I've decided to allocate the earnings to establish the Uchiha Welfare System, allowing all clan members to share these benefits."

"Some clan members still go to work daily. While their earnings suffice for daily expenses, purchasing quality clothes or improving their diet long-term is still challenging. As a member of the Uchiha, I find this unacceptable."

"Our Uchiha clan has nearly a thousand years of heritage, having lived through the era of the Sage of Six Paths. Wars and natural disasters over the millennia have not eradicated us. The history of the Uchiha is far longer than that of the Land of Fire, yet it's wrong for some clan members to toil away just for basic necessities!"

"Therefore, I've decided to use the money earned to establish the Uchiha Welfare System. Every non-ninja adult member of the Uchiha will receive 30,000 ryō per month, and children under twelve will receive 10,000 ryō."

"Genin of the Uchiha clan can receive 100,000 ryō per month, to be used for improving their living conditions or purchasing ninja tools and exploding tags, among other things."

"Chūnin of the Uchiha clan will receive 500,000 ryō per month, and Jōnin will receive 1 million ryō."

"This welfare system isn't for enjoyment but to alleviate the financial worries of clan members in difficult circumstances. It allows them to focus on missions for experience or training and to buy more exploding tags and ration pills, increasing their chances of survival in war."

Finally, Yōichi added, "I believe our clan deserves this, and with our strength, we are worthy of such treatment."

After Yōichi finished, the room at Naka Shrine fell silent, with everyone digesting his words.

Fugaku listened throughout, clenching his fists slightly.

His first thought was that this was a move to win over the hearts of the clan, but even with that in mind, he couldn't openly object.

This was a benevolent act for the clan, even considering the children. How could he, as the clan leader, argue against it? The ninja world's three prohibitions?

Yōichi had said it himself, providing welfare to the Uchiha ninjas was meant to enable them to focus more on their training and accumulate experience without financial worries.

Moreover, the welfare could be used to purchase ninja tools and exploding tags, enhancing their survival odds on the battlefield.

To oppose this would imply a desire to see clan members perish in battle.

Seeing the reactions from everyone in the room, Kenji couldn't help but smile and speak, "Everyone, after Yōichi-kun proposed the Uchiha Welfare System, it seemed there might be aspects he hadn't considered. Bringing it up at this clan meeting is to involve everyone in the discussion. If there are any dissatisfactions or suggestions for improvement, feel free to voice them."

The typically reticent Grand Elder asked, "Yōichi-kun, how long can this welfare system sustain?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will continue indefinitely. The profits from the pharmaceutical factory alone can support the Uchiha Welfare System, and I have other businesses as well, so there's no need to worry."

Hearing this, the Grand Elder nodded and fell silent, finding no grounds to object.

"Everyone, and the clan leader, do you have any objections to the welfare system I've proposed?"

Many present were part of the peace faction, not particularly fond of Yōichi.

But even with their lack of affection, faced with Yōichi offering money to them, their families, and friends, they found it hard to argue.

"I support it. As Yōichi-kun said, this money is all for purchasing exploding tags and ration pills. Being on the battlefield, this will greatly increase our clan members' chances of survival."

"I also support it, well, because it's a good thing. There's no reason to oppose."

"I support it too."

Now, those speaking were mostly from the Uchiha clan's warrior faction. After they finished, Yōichi turned his gaze towards Fugaku and his faction, asking,

"Clan leader, and Eighth Elder, what do you think of this proposal?"

Fugaku, feeling everyone's eyes on him, slowly unclenched his fists and said, "I have no objections. Your proposal is beneficial for the clan."

Seeing Fugaku relent, knowing this matter couldn't be stopped, the Eighth Elder after some thought said, "It might not be easy managing so many people, Yōichi-kun. Perhaps this should be overseen by the clan leader."

"Sorry, Eighth Elder, but I have plans for the surplus from the pharmaceutical factory. My summoning creatures have quite the appetite, and there are other expenses."

Yōichi interrupted, almost saying outright that the money was his to manage. What need was there to involve the clan leader?

"If the Eighth Elder worries about oversight, having the clan leader supervise is fine, but with the clan leader's busy schedule, there might be conflicts."

Suddenly, an idea struck Fugaku, who then said, "There's no need for supervision. I trust Yōichi-kun has the clan's best interests at heart. However, since this involves all clan members, including many women, why not let my wife assist? This way, we can better implement the initiative."

The Eighth Elder clearly wanted to involve himself, but knowing Yōichi's character, it was unlikely he'd allow it.

Thus, involving his wife under the guise of representing the women in the clan could, in a sense, represent him as the clan leader.

Hearing Fugaku's words, Kenji seemed to grasp the clan leader's intentions, helping Yōichi out by saying, "Clan leader, if I remember correctly, Mikoto is also taking care of Sasuke, right?"

Fugaku responded, "Sasuke is already one. Mikoto will manage."

The Eighth Elder added, "Having Mikoto-san help would be good."

"With that settled, let's proceed in this manner."

Yōichi spoke, giving Kenji a reassuring look.

They didn't understand the power of controlling capital. Even if more people were involved, they would still be working for Yōichi.

With Yōichi's agreement, Fugaku felt he had regained some ground, saying, "Then it's decided. Tomorrow, Mikoto will discuss with Yōichi-kun. Anything else?"

"There's one more thing."

Yōichi didn't relent, continuing, "Clan leader, Elders, my combat suit research factory has also made significant progress. The defense capability of the developed combat suits will be five times that of regular ninja attire. 

Taking this opportunity, I'd like to expand the Uchiha clan's arms business. Of course, the new combat suits will be prioritized for our clan's ninjas."

After a year of research, despite having complete manufacturing guides, the challenge of sourcing materials prevented the creation of combat suits identical to those of Saiyans.

However, the ninja world's unique materials, including a combination of spider silk and silkworm thread, offered strong resilience.

By applying the Saiyan combat suit manufacturing techniques to compress these materials, a new type of combat suit was produced.

While different from the original, it was the best option available in the ninja world. Moreover, the spider clan, with a leader that was a four to five-meter tall spider, had been subdued and signed a summoning contract with Yōichi's people.

"The clan leader, I think Yōichi-kun's proposal has no issues."

The Grand Elder spoke, surprising Fugaku and others. In recent years, the Grand Elder had been like a mascot, rarely expressing opinions. Today was a first.

But the Grand Elder had his reasons for speaking. With Yōichi contributing 260 million ryō a month and involving the clan leader's wife, now moving into the arms business was also for the clan's benefit.

Although the combat suits were unknown, since they were mentioned, they must be significant.

Opposing now would seem unreasonable, even to the peace faction members, making the clan leader appear excessive.

Fugaku, still trying to grasp the situation but seeing the Eighth Elder nodding, said, "Alright, Yōichi-kun, you'll be in charge of the clan's arms and weapons from now on."

After settling this matter, Fugaku mentioned the need to strengthen patrols by the police force to guard against spies from outside the village. Seeing Yōichi no longer speaking, he concluded the clan meeting.

After the meeting.

Kenji caught up with Yōichi, and in a secluded spot, couldn't help asking, "Yōichi, why let Fugaku's wife get involved?"

"Kenji-senpai, I'm well aware of what the clan leader is thinking, but they misunderstood from the start. The Uchiha Welfare System was my idea, and I'm funding it. Even if they put ten clan leader's wives in, it won't make a difference. Mikoto is just there to help."

Solving this issue was simple; when distributing the money, just attach his name to it, indicating a gift from Uchiha Yōichi.

Over time, all clan members would see Mikoto as a mere assistant.

"If you're confident, then there's no problem. But what about the arms business?"

"Let Tokugawa take over the business for now. After that, it's about stockpiling and expansion. War is approaching, and the preparations made so far are far from sufficient."

Uchiha Tokugawa was in charge of the combat suit research factory, and he found and signed the contract with the summoning spider.

"If that's the case, then the future matters are in your hands. If you need help, come find me."

After speaking, Kenji patted his waist, smiling wistfully, "I'm getting old. To think I'd feel tired after a clan meeting. The future of the Uchiha lies with you young people."

"How could that be? The clan will still need you, Kenji-senpai."

Yōichi replied with a smile, and as it was getting late, they parted ways and went home.

"Minato-sensei, haven't we reached our destination yet?"

Obito, visibly tired, sat on the ground. Despite being fatigued from the days of travel, seeing Nohara Rin struggling to keep up, he took it upon himself to ask on her behalf.

"Don't worry; we're almost there."

Minato glanced at his students. Due to a significantly detoured route, they had been on a forced march for quite a while; except for Kakashi, who was still holding up, Rin was nearly at her limit.

"Let's rest for a bit to replenish our strength, and then we can continue on our way."

After surveying the area and seeing no signs of anyone around, Minato allowed the team to take a break.

After a brief rest and replenishment of food and water, the six of them resumed their journey.

Upon arrival in Roran, both Obito and Rin were surprised to find such a thriving city in the middle of the desert, rarer even than an oasis.

"First, we gather information. If you encounter any puppets, try to avoid them. Obito, Rin, stay close to me."

...

After setting up their plan, Minato dispersed the team.

Although Kakashi was of the same age as Obito, his rank as a Chūnin and his experience in several challenging missions made gathering intelligence less difficult for him.

For Obito and Rin, this was one of their first missions since graduating from the ninja academy, technically breaking the rules. It was only because Minato believed he could protect them that they were allowed to join.

Gathering intelligence was straightforward. Minato quickly found something suspicious and located the citizens of the Roran Kingdom in a hidden basement.

Roran was a beautiful oasis city in the desert until six years ago, without puppets or Minister. It was after their appearance that the previous queen of Roran died soon after.

With Princess Sara still underage, all affairs of Roran were controlled by Mukade.

A celebration for Princess Sara was underway, but it was a trap. Anyone attending would be captured.

After gathering this information, Minato returned to the rendezvous point.

Soon, the rest of the team also returned.

"There indeed are many puppets here, almost all civilians have been turned into puppets. I planned to tag each puppet I encountered with a bug, but now I'm out of bugs."

Shibi's hand carried a bug, relaying information only the Aburame clan could understand.

Tsume added, "No sign of Suna-nin. It seems like the work of Mukade alone. But controlling so many puppets, even the strongest puppeteer in Sunagakure couldn't achieve this, right?"

"It must be the power of the Dragon Veins."

Minato frowned slightly. The Third Hokage's concerns were valid; if Sunagakure learned of Roran's Dragon Veins, they would undoubtedly conquer Roran to exploit the puppetry potential.

Kakashi suddenly spoke, "Minato-sensei, I think I saw other Leaf ninjas. Did the Hokage send another team?"

Minato, upon hearing this, asked with a frown, "Were they Anbu?"

"No, they were openly wearing Leaf headbands. One had black hair, another pink, and one blond. Hmm, the black-haired one is from the Uchiha clan; he had the Uchiha clan symbol on his back."

Kakashi briefly described the three people he encountered, opting not to approach them without understanding the situation.

Hearing this, Obito immediately said, "Uchiha? Minato-sensei, should I go take a look? I know most of the ninjas in our clan."

Minato shook his head, "No rush. Let's first confirm their identities. Kakashi, where are they?"

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi said, "Near the palace. They seemed ready to infiltrate where Queen Sara resides. Observing the terrain around that area, they might act soon."

Upon hearing this, Minato decided, "Let's head there! If we encounter them, don't engage immediately. Follow my lead."

The other five, upon receiving the order, promptly followed Minato towards the palace vicinity.

---

The next day.

Yōichi was preparing for his second absorption of the Star Stone's power. He initially planned to operate the machinery himself, but Mina, upon seeing him heading to the basement, followed after asking about his activities.

"Yōichi-sama, you lose consciousness when absorbing the Star Stone's power. I need to be there to wake you."

Mina said, lowering her head, then followed him to the basement to start the device.

"Alright, then I'm counting on you. But this time, use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to wake me, don't physically touch me."

Yōichi cautioned, fearing Mina might wet herself for the third time in the same place due to embarrassment, so he warned her in advance.

The Star Stone's power seemed also to enhance the chakra of the Sharingan. Although Yōichi was delirious during the last absorption, his brain activity was unusually high, and he felt his Dōjutsu strengthened afterward.

This made Yōichi highly suspect the Star Stone's power originated from the Ten-Tails.

Only the Ten-Tails' power could affect the Sharingan because the Sharingan descends from the God Tree.

After connecting to the machinery, Mina closely monitored the devices, setting a threshold beyond which she would immediately awaken Yōichi.

Preparations were also made for ice water in the room.

Once everything was ready, Yōichi again took out the Star Stone, placed his hands on it, and began absorbing the energy emanating from it.

As before, the Godzilla within him was awakened by the Star Stone's power, radiating intense heat throughout his body.

The Sharingan manifested automatically, with its three tomoe slowly rotating within the blood-red iris. At the same time, the chakra in his brain, influenced by the Star Stone, became highly active.

Hiss~! Hiss~!

The temperature in the basement rose, and Mina suddenly heard an unusual heartbeat coming from Yōichi's body, not resembling a human's, and growing louder.

Not just the sound, but Yōichi's body seemed to glow with a purple light, starting from his limbs and moving towards his heart, flickering on and off.

Like sequentially lit and then extinguished street lamps, the purple light from his body, following the strange heartbeat, converged towards his heart.

"The body temperature is getting too high; it's time to wake up."

Seeing the values approaching the threshold, Mina quickly formed hand seals.

In the next instant, four adamantine chains emerged from behind her, two binding Yōichi and placing him into the ice water, while the other two put the Star Stone back into its box, waiting for Yōichi to store it in a scroll.

As steam rose in large quantities, Yōichi, placed in the ice water, regained consciousness.

"I lost consciousness again."

Yōichi frowned slightly. Just enhancing the chakra of the Sharingan shouldn't have caused him to lose consciousness.

It must have been the influence of the Godzilla within him! During rapid growth, if there's a tendency to evolve, it will emit a lot of heat and nearly cease all activity. If the Godzilla within him matures, this issue should resolve.

Once his body temperature cooled down, Yōichi stepped out of the ice water, which had turned warm from his continuous release of heat.

"Yōichi-sama, you exhibited new conditions just now, even your heartbeat changed. Could this be dangerous if it continues?"

Noticing unknown changes, Mina put aside her previous embarrassment and showed Yōichi the footage she captured.

After watching, Yōichi was also surprised. The eerie purple light and buzzing sound spreading from his limbs to his heart, if he were to don a Godzilla suit, it would appear as if the reactor was gathering energy.

But now, his heart had returned to normal, as if he had been temporarily possessed by Godzilla's power.

"It should be fine, Mina."

After thinking it over, Yōichi continued, "Still, let's be more cautious and reinforce the seal."

With the Godzilla's assimilation effects becoming more pronounced in just two years, it was better to be safe.

"Then, should I apply another Four Symbols Seal? Two Four Symbols Seals can form the Eight Trigrams Seal, strengthening the sealing force enough to restrain even a tailed beast."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mina."

As Mina approached, thinking to apply the seal immediately, Yōichi waved her off, suggesting, "Let's wait until next month."

This month he had the Succubus Body ability, which would cause Mina to lose control upon touching him, making the seal unsuccessful.

Moreover, Godzilla hadn't shown signs of breaking the seal. He was just concerned about being assimilated too quickly by Godzilla, ultimately becoming a mini-Godzilla.

"Alright then."

Mina agreed but remained somewhat worried, planning to consult with Kushina, remembering she mentioned sealing a beast within her, perhaps having experienced something similar.

After leaving the basement, Mina remembered to inform Yōichi, "Yōichi-sama, I might need to go out frequently these days. The medical team needs to produce more antidotes, so I might return late."

Yōichi responded, "Going out? Then have Gates accompany you. It'll be safer, and it'll give him something to do other than eat and sleep, which he's completely useless at now."

"Roar~!"

Gates, lying in the yard, growled in discontent upon hearing this, then comfortably settled back down.

His growth rate might have slowed, but life was comfortable; eating, sleeping, and even enjoying sweets and desserts, dreaming of honey, epitomized a fulfilled bear life.

Preparing antidotes indicated the village was bracing for conflict with Sunagakure, waiting to see who would make the first move.

With Leaf's preparations nearly complete, once the antidotes were ready, even the ninja squads had been dispatched early, and even Shikaku was probably already at Kikyō Castle making preparations.

With so much preparation, if Sunagakure didn't act, Leaf might initiate the war.

Within half a year, war was likely to break out.

Before then, Yōichi had nothing urgent, managing students with shadow clones, absorbing the Star Stone's power, establishing the Uchiha Welfare System, and finding time for Sage Mode training in Ryūchi Cave.

Although not yet at his peak, having absorbed natural energy for a year, Yōichi had slowly adapted to mixing it with his chakra.

His chakra, akin to a low-quality Sage Mode, was ready for attempting the Ryūchi Cave's sage techniques.

---

"Relying on stolen puppetry techniques, thinking hiding in this era would realize your petty reptilian dreams, causing us so much trouble."

Sasuke calmly unsheathed the Lightning Blade, aiming directly at Mukade's head.

Mukade, terror-stricken, tried to crawl away, pleading, "Spare, spare my life."

"Wait, Sasuke!"

"Hold on."

Despite the calls to stop, the Lightning Blade descended, its blade wrapped in lightning, cauterizing the wound to prevent blood splatter.

Naruto scratched his head, saying, "Sasuke, the mission was to capture alive."

"The mission encountered unexpected circumstances. Bringing back a body is the same. Who can guarantee no accidents on the way back?"

Sasuke turned the Lightning Blade, then eyed the person who had called him to stop, frowning, "I've noticed you following us. Who are you?"

"Don't worry, Sasuke. I and Sakura asked them. To some extent, they're on our side."

Then Naruto nudged Sasuke, whispering, "See that white-haired guy over there? Remind you of anyone?"

"Kakashi?"

Sasuke's lip twitched, then he approached Kakashi.

Kakashi, sensing Sasuke's unfriendly approach, defensively asked, "What do you want?"

Sasuke seriously stated, "Kakashi, in the future, stop reading those adult books!"

"Idiot, you're the one who would read them!"

Kakashi retorted angrily, asserting his dignity as a Leaf ninja, never engaging in the three forbidden activities despite his wealth, not even visiting the red-light district.

"Just remember my words," Sasuke said before turning to leave. Obito quickly called out, "Junior, what do I become in the future? Am I a hero of the Uchiha clan?"

"Sorry, but to avoid influencing the future, I'll seal all related memories, including my own."

Minato stepped forward, explaining after exchanging information that these three had traveled from the future using the Dragon Veins' power, similar to the recently slain Mukade.

Believing too much knowledge of the future could have adverse effects, Minato decided on the memory seal.

"But you're fine since you came from the future."

Then Sakura eagerly pulled Kakashi aside, asking, "Kakashi, isn't the Fifth Hokage, I mean, Yōichi-sama, with you?"

"He's not."

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

Such a bizarre bunch of unlikable descendants!
