"I've already signed you up for the Chunin Exam, but before that, I have a method here that can enhance your strength. Consider if you want to use it."

Before Yōichi could finish, Akane raised her hand and said, "Yōichi-sensei, I'll use it!"

"So decisive? I haven't even said what it is yet."

Rumi spoke up, "Anyway, Yōichi-sensei wouldn't harm us. Since sensei has suggested it, it must be suitable for us."

Kazuhito also nodded in agreement; they were all Genin, what would be so significant that Yōichi-sensei would think of them?

"Well, since you all are willing, that's fine, but I still have to tell you, I'm preparing a trump card for life-and-death situations for you, called the Sage Transformation."

After explaining the Sage Transformation to the three, Yōichi also cautioned them not to rely too heavily on it.

He then described the method to activate the Sage Transformation, which was an improved version by Orochimaru. First, they must slowly integrate senjutsu chakra into their bodies.

Sealing senjutsu chakra every three days, combined with improved pills, they would be able to activate the Sage Transformation with their own chakra mixed with senjutsu chakra after three times.

This type of transformation doesn't cause any physical changes but forms a sinister pattern of Sage Transformation on the face.

However, the power it grants is comparable to activating Sage Mode, greatly enhancing chakra levels, boosting the power of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, as well as enhancing sensory abilities and reducing the sensation of pain.

These are the benefits of Sage Mode.

Among the three students of Yōichi, Rumi might see the most significant enhancement from activating Sage Mode, given her already Chunin-level taijutsu skills. With the increase in speed and strength, she could easily dodge enemy ninjutsu.

Activating Sage Mode, however, consumes a great deal of physical energy; with their current physical condition, they could last about five to six minutes.

After the first session of chakra sealing, all three were exhausted, their bodies soaked with sweat.

"That's enough for today. Although it's the first time we've sealed senjutsu chakra, you must not relax in your training. You should start to feel the changes in your body. Go and rest for now."

Yōichi thought for a moment and decided to offer them a reward: "If any of you ranks first in the Chunin Exam, I will personally award you a highly defensive ninja suit."

"This suit is currently only worn by Uchiha clan members, and even within the Uchiha clan, not everyone has been outfitted."

Although the production of the ninja combat suits had increased slightly, there were still only a few more each month, not enough to equip all clan members, but Yōichi could still set aside one.

Hearing this great news, the eyes of Akane and the others lit up, and they unanimously exclaimed, "Thank you, Yōichi-sensei!"

They knew Yōichi-sensei was never stingy. Offering such a reward for first place was surely something valuable.

They couldn't wait to train hard for the upcoming Chunin Exam in just over ten days.

This area behind Yōichi's house was basically marked as his restricted area, where he typically trained or taught his students.

Having just sealed Senjutsu chakra, the trio was too drained, so after bidding farewell, they slowly made their way out, heading home.

As they left, they ran into Yugito returning.

Lately, Yugito had been wandering around Konoha. Although her seals had been released, allowing her to use chakra and reconnect with the Two-Tails, the idea of returning to her village had been utterly dismissed.

The recent assassination attempt had completely dashed her hopes of returning to the Cloud Village. Yugito feared that even if she returned, the Cloud ninjas wouldn't trust her and would still want to forcibly extract the Two-Tails.

Facing a village that wanted her dead, even if Yugito set aside all grievances, the village would still doubt her loyalty.

After grabbing a bunch of food from the fridge to replenish her energy—since switching to a Konoha forehead protector, her treatment had improved significantly, at least never lacking food in the fridge, and it tasted pretty good too—Yugito prepared to head back to her room.

Just then, Yōichi returned and, seeing Yugito, called out to her, "Yugito, the Chunin Exam is coming up soon. But this time, the Cloud ninjas will participate, and I suspect they're here for you. If you don't want to see them, just stay in the Uchiha district."

Hearing that the Cloud ninjas were coming, Yugito instinctively showed a look of repulsion.

After a moment of silence, she continued towards her room but not before saying, "Understood. I won't leave the Uchiha district during that time."

Just after Yugito entered her room, Mina returned.

Mina had come back at noon at Yōichi's call. Upon entering the house and seeing Yōichi, she ran up and hugged him, rubbing her face against his chest affectionately.

"Yōichi-sama, did you call me back at noon because you missed me? I missed you too—"

Smack, smack, smack, smack!

Yōichi immediately lifted Mina's skirt and gave her several slaps, even causing her flesh to ripple.

Mina gasped, her face quickly flushing red, as she gazed adoringly at Yōichi.

"Today we have serious matters to discuss, so let's talk properly."

Yōichi lifted Mina and sat down on the sofa, letting her sit on his lap. Mina, on her own initiative, placed her silk-wrapped legs on his hand.

"Orochimaru has obtained the Hashirama cells and a test subject. Use the method you developed in the Dream Realm to create a Wood Release bloodline for him, then give him the technique. After that, bring the Hashirama cells back."

Hearing Yōichi's instructions, Mina asked with a blush, "Yōichi-sama, there are three fusion methods. Which one should I use?"

"Use the least effective one. Orochimaru will likely conduct his own research, and since he's already made a large profit, there's no need to give him the best one. Once you bring back the Hashirama cells, we'll use them for me, you, and Mikoto."

As Yōichi spoke, he played with the silk-clad legs that Mina had placed in his hands.

Mina, her cheeks still flushed, asked, "Understood. Then I'll leave a shadow clone at the hospital in Konoha. But, Yōichi-sama, is there a reward for completing this task?"

Smack, smack, smack!

The last time he had to deal with Mina clinging to him, draining his strength, and then like an octopus, preventing him from secretly visiting Mikoto, it was all Mina.

Yōichi gave her a few more firm slaps and then said, "There's no reward, but there will be punishment if it's not done well."

The three methods for fusing Hashirama cells that Mina had developed in the Dream Realm were all effective, but the best involved external fusion—using Yōichi's cells and Hashirama cells cultivated together.

By achieving a balanced fusion before transplanting it back into the body, they could fully inherit the power of the Hashirama cells, unleashing the potent life energy within the cells.

This method was complicated and required various medicinal agents to inhibit the encroachment of the Hashirama cells. Otherwise, the potent life force within the cells could overwhelm the recipient's cells, eventually turning the person into a massive tree.

Fortunately, a complete transplantation method and the necessary medicinal agents had been developed, thanks in part to the miraculous capabilities of the Dream Realm.

In the afternoon, Mina let only a shadow clone go to the hospital. After the war ended, the number of injured had sharply decreased, and the Konoha Hospital wasn't as busy.

And since Mina was now a medical jonin and the head of the Second Medical Squad, she didn't need to concern herself with minor injuries and ailments on a daily basis, so she went to Orochimaru's research base that afternoon.

Meanwhile, Mikoto was also meeting with some people in her office next to the super market, where she usually worked.

Now, clan members in charge of specific business operations would come there to consult with Mikoto, and if she couldn't handle something, they would turn to Yōichi for a decision.

Mikoto was currently meeting with representatives from the orphanages around Konoha, totaling four, to which the Uchiha clan planned to provide funding.

The largest had over eighty children, and the smallest also had more than thirty, combining for over two hundred orphans across the four orphanages.

The Uchiha clan intended to donate seven thousand ryō per child to help these orphanages continue operating.

The directors of these orphanages were deeply moved when they heard the news today, and they hurriedly thanked Mikoto.

Konoha's allocation for them was only a hundred thousand ryō per month, and two directors were continuously taking in orphans, making this amount utterly insufficient.

Sometimes this allocation would be delayed for a long time. While Konoha took excellent care of the orphans of ninjas, ensuring they received their pensions without delay, the orphans in these institutions were all civilian children.

Some were even adopted from outside Konoha, and the village did at most ensure they didn't starve, with no chance for anything better.

The expenses for orphans of this age group were not very high; three thousand ryō per month could feed them, and the seven thousand ryō Mikoto provided could even allow for better meals and new clothes occasionally.

"Thank you so much, Mikoto-sama."

"Indeed, we're grateful to the Uchiha clan; otherwise, it would have been hard to keep running."

Mikoto gently shook her head and said, "This is the clan leader's order; I'm just following it. Also, the clan leader mentioned that if there are children suitable to become ninjas, the Uchiha clan will also sponsor their education at the ninja academy."

"Thank the Uchiha clan leader; this gives the children hope."

"Thank you, Mikoto-sama, and the Uchiha clan leader."

The orphanage directors thanked her profusely. Although being a ninja involved risks, for these orphans, it represented the best possible path forward.

One of the directors, who resembled Mikoto in demeanor, adjusted her ample chest and thought with relief, 'With the financial issue resolved, I can comfortably leave the Root now.'

Yakushi Nono had long planned to leave the Root organization and had even submitted a request to the Third Hokage. However, Root repeatedly withheld funding from her orphanage, forcing her to continue gathering intelligence for them in exchange for financial support.

With the donation from the Uchiha clan, she could now peacefully spend her days at the orphanage with the children.

After receiving a donation form, the four directors left Mikoto's office while continuously expressing their gratitude.

This amount of money was not significant for the Uchiha clan, and even ninjas like Yaonoyu, who took frequent missions, could afford to support these orphanages.

However, this small sum could enhance the Uchiha's reputation significantly. After the donation, Yōichi had the event reported in the newspapers of the Fire Country.

There's no need to hide good deeds. Now, whenever the Uchiha clan did something commendable, they made sure to promote it. Although not many ninjas read the newspaper, persistent publicity would eventually spread their good reputation.

After the directors left, Mikoto continued to work on various matters. The business operations of the Uchiha clan were expanding.

Pharmaceuticals, ninja games, the super market and food districts within Konoha, a magic goat breeding farm, and now three bookstores, a newspaper, and a television station had been added. They had also invested in a computer-related factory, although it had yet to produce any results.

But according to Yōichi, computers would play a critical role in the ninja world in the future, potentially becoming a key industry controlled by the Uchiha.

Mikoto worked until dusk, still processing documents when she suddenly felt a pair of hands reaching around her waist from behind.

"Who? Yōichi-kun, don't scare me like that next time~"

Initially startled, Mikoto relaxed when she saw it was Yōichi and playfully scolded him.

"It's gotten late, Mikoto, let's go home."

Yōichi advised, "You can't finish all this work in one day. Find a few clan members to help you. I've heard that many of them feel embarrassed about receiving so much from the Uchiha welfare system and want to contribute to the clan."

"I understand. Let's leave it at that for today."

Feeling the warm breath near her ear and the hands gradually moving up her waist, Mikoto's cheeks flushed.

Then, she tidied up her office a bit and followed Yōichi home.

The two now acted like a married couple, and although Mina was also part of their lives, Mikoto still felt blissfully happy.

If she ever came home late, Yōichi would immediately come to find her. This feeling of being valued was something Mikoto had never experienced before.

"Huh?"

Mikoto suddenly stopped, prompting Yōichi to ask, "What's wrong?"

"I think I forgot something."

"Did you leave something in the office?"

"It seems so, but maybe not."

"Let's check it tomorrow then. It won't go missing anyway, and there are guards patrolling at night."

Reassured by Yōichi's words, Mikoto nodded and stopped worrying.

After walking a bit more and seeing that they were almost home and that the road was deserted, Mikoto boldly reached out and grabbed Yōichi's hand, whispering, "Let's go home, Anata~"

----------------

In the darkness of the night, a gentle moonlight shone through the window, casting its light on Mikoto's figure.

On the other side, bathed in moonlight, a young boy sat on the doorstep. It was deep into the night, but he had not gone to sleep.

"Itachi, why aren't you sleeping yet? Is something on your mind?"

Shisui approached Itachi, who was sitting there. Being up so late meant he must be troubled, perhaps missing his parents.

"It's nothing, I'll go to sleep now. Shisui, you should sleep early too."

Itachi stood up, patted his trousers, and prepared to return inside. But before he did, he glanced one last time down the road.

It was dark, but the figure he had long been waiting for was not there.

"It's enough, he should now possess the power of Wood Release. Orochimaru-sama, please let him try a Wood Release technique."

Mina checked the physical data of the test subject, then confidently said to Orochimaru.

Just like in her dreams, this person could now use Wood Release techniques.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru felt a bit surprised but calmly ordered a student to send in a simple Wood Clone Technique.

The test subject sent by Danzo was a ninja cultivated from the Root, only eleven years old, but he had already carried out numerous missions for the Root and was proficient in several ninjutsu.

Orochimaru, through a sound transmitting device, commanded the ninja to learn the Wood Release technique presented before him and release it as quickly as possible.

Since Yōichi did not want to expose Mina's involvement in the experiment, the Root's test subjects were still unaware of her existence, observing only through a one-way glass.

The young Root ninja immediately began studying the scroll.

The principle of the Wood Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone, but it requires the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

After forming hand seals and controlling the chakra flow, the young Root ninja started forming seals.

The first attempt failed, but sprouts had already appeared on his shoulders.

Just from seeing this, Orochimaru could confirm that the Wood Release experiment was a success.

On the second attempt, a mass of wood emerged from the boy's body, forming a human shape, but it didn't complete.

The third attempt, the young Root ninja successfully used the Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique.

"Impressive, truly successful. After Tsunade, you are the strongest medical ninja, Yōichi-san is lucky to have your help," Orochimaru said without stinginess in his praise, understanding Mina's character over these four days.

As he said, her medical ninjutsu could rival Tsunade's, her personality is open and straightforward, and she is slightly naïve, making it easy to extract information from her.

"Heh, it's alright, Yōichi-sama gave me the opportunity," Mina almost slipped up, but she caught herself and awkwardly changed the topic: "Orochimaru-sama, if there are no issues, then please give me the Hashirama Cells, the experiment is over."

"Mm, let's do one last check."

Orochimaru smiled, thinking to himself; what kind of opportunity? An opportunity for experimentation? And quite a few at that?

But Yōichi-san likely doesn't have Hashirama Cells, and it seems this isn't even the best fusion yet.

Orochimaru could only use this flattering method to let Mina relax her guard, then slowly extract more information.

It was quite fruitful, making Orochimaru even more interested in Yōichi.

After the experiment ended, as scheduled, Orochimaru handed over the Hashirama Cells to Mina, which included the majority obtained from Danzo, enough to cultivate thirty individuals with Wood Release bloodlines.

"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama, then I shall take my leave."

After greeting, Mina left the area, near the Forest of Death, surrounded by several dens of venomous snakes. If not for Lord Yōichi's orders, she would never have come here.

However, the mission was finally complete. Holding the Hashirama Cells, Mina prepared to head straight home.

Recently, Yōichi rarely visited the police force, spending most of his time training three students in the forest behind his home, with Yugito often visiting.

Though Yugito thought Yōichi was a bit of a womanizer, he couldn't deny Yōichi's strength.

Especially since she harbored the Two-Tails, she felt threatened during her last encounter with Yōichi's Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Mina?"

While hurrying home, Mina suddenly heard someone calling her and turned to see Kushina.

Mina asked, "Kushina, what are you doing here?"

"I just went to the Konoha Hospital, you said you were a Shadow Clone, so I came back, but I didn't expect to find you here."

Kushina approached and asked, "I wanted to chat with you, but you've been busy lately? Every time I go to the hospital, it's just a Shadow Clone."

The Shadow Clone had to ensure the duties at the Konoha Hospital were maintained, so Mina's Shadow Clone refused all non-essential activities, including going out with Kushina.

"I have indeed been quite busy, assisting Yōichi-sama with missions. Kushina, did you need something?"

"It's nothing much, just had a small argument with Minato a few days ago, but we've made up. Are you still busy now?"

Seeing Mina seemed hurried, Kushina spoke up, "If you're busy, I'll find you another time."

"Okay, I should be free tomorrow. I'll come to see you then."

Mina hadn't seen Kushina in a while and planned to meet up with Kushina the next day to hang out and vent a bit about the former clan leader's wife, unaware that Kushina and Mikoto were also close friends.

After saying goodbye to Mina, Kushina was left wondering what to do; without Yōichi's assistance, her control over the tailed beast's chakra was too slow.

The Seal Division didn't need her help, and her activities were limited to the village. She could only fantasize about the world outside through her friends.

————————————

"Minato, everything regarding Kakashi has been handled. As long as he doesn't mention it himself, the other ninja villages won't know he's already a chūnin."

Hiruzen said to Minato, who had almost let every ninja in the village who knew of Kakashi's chūnin status know to keep it a secret when foreign ninja visited.

Since Kakashi had been promoted to chūnin at the age of six, nearly four years had passed. Under the occasional training from Sakumo, Kakashi now even had the credentials to challenge for a special jōnin rank.

Although young, letting him participate in the chūnin exams would definitely place him at the forefront in terms of strength.

If the other ninja villages knew that Kakashi had been a chūnin for over three years, this chūnin exam would be a joke.

"Thank you very much, Third Hokage, I've been quite troubled about this matter."

Minato smiled and said, "Though the three of them often quarrel, their friendship is strong. If we suddenly changed a teammate, this chūnin exam would definitely fail."

"Mm, it's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

Sarutobi looked at the young Minato before him and suddenly came up with an idea.

He had previously considered the position of the Fourth Hokage, thinking a lot about it, but felt that his three students fell short of the mark for Hokage.

If Tsunade didn't have hemophobia, Orochimaru thought a bit more about the village instead of his own ambitions, and Jiraiya was a bit more serious, any of them would be suitable for Hokage.

But each was lacking in some way, leading Sarutobi to feel none were fit for Hokage.

As for Sakumo, he was a person who fully embodied the Will of Fire, making it difficult for Sarutobi to point out two flaws in him even if given a day.

But he was too close to the Uchiha clan!

And he had his own strong opinions; if Sakumo became the Fourth Hokage, then he, the Third Hokage, would truly retire.

"Minato, do you want to be Hokage?"

Sarutobi suddenly asked, catching Minato off guard. After a few seconds, Minato scratched his head, somewhat embarrassedly saying, "Of course, it's been my goal since my Genin days, and I'm still working towards it."

"I want to protect everyone in the village and gain everyone's recognition!" The last part, about protecting Kushina and letting her freely roam the ninja world, was something Minato thought but did not say aloud.

"Then do your best, if you need anything, you can come to me, Minato, I have high hopes for you."

Sarutobi lit his pipe, then kindly smiled at Minato, "Jiraiya once said you were suited for the Flying Thunder God Technique, that was the second time I noticed you, and I felt then that you would definitely become Hokage."

"Third Hokage."

Minato was moved, if not for the Third Hokage's approval back then, how could a mere chūnin have accessed the Scroll of Seals and obtained the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Work hard, Minato, in a couple of years, I might also step down, and by then I hope you can be recognized by the whole village."

"Yes, I understand, Third Hokage."

Minato was a bit excited after hearing this, almost confirming to him that the Third Hokage would support him to become the Fourth Hokage.

Being Hokage was his dream, and also a condition for freeing Kushina from surveillance, so Minato was particularly excited after receiving Sarutobi's recognition and support.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Minato was still a bit exhilarated, but after a few steps, his nature made him calm down.

At that moment, Minato remembered that becoming Hokage, despite the support, would not be without resistance.

Among his peers was Yōichi, the Uchiha Clan Leader.

And then there were the Sannin—his teacher Jiraiya and Orochimaru—with more extensive records of military exploits and missions.

What troubled Minato the most was Sakumo; he suddenly felt that Sakumo was the most suitable to be Hokage, and even though his dream supported him, in front of Sakumo, he always felt lacking.

"I'll go and discuss this with Jiraiya-sensei."

Minato originally decided to meet Kushina, but now the matter of becoming Hokage weighed on his mind, wanting to analyze it with Jiraiya.

————————————————

As the chūnin exam approached, the patrol duties of the police force became stricter.

The war had just ended, and a chūnin exam involving several countries and their ninja villages was a challenging task for the police force.

Thus, Yōichi had also asked clan ninjas to help share the load, allowing those not in the police force to patrol with them.

This would give the police force more time to rest.

The genin participating in the chūnin exams were also training fervently; this chūnin exam was particularly grand.

Six ninja villages jointly held the chūnin exam, with four daimyō attending to watch. Once the news spread, no genin wanted to embarrass themselves in this exam.

Kakashi had been practicing team cooperation with Obito and Rin until the last few days when he started training at home. He had asked his father, Sakumo, to specifically train him in the White Fang sword technique.

Asuma was being taught the Sarutobi clan's Fire Release techniques by other clan ninjas.

Rumi was practicing Gentle Fist; she didn't return home and, with Yōichi's permission, trained in the forest behind his house every day.

Yōichi guessed a bit about the Hyūga clan's situation but didn't say it outright.

As for Yōichi, he was still relatively relaxed, wandering around several places. After absorbing enough starstone chakra, he stopped training.

His home's basement had also been outfitted with many experimental devices, where Mina was currently conducting cell fusion.

Once the cell fusion was complete, Mina could integrate Hashirama Cells into Yōichi, a method not only capable of perfectly unleashing the power of Hashirama Cells but also devoid of side effects.

Such as pale skin or faces growing on the body.

After fusing with Hashirama Cells, Yōichi would be the strongest ninja in Konoha, and he hadn't even learned Sage Mode yet.

Ninjas from other villages gradually arrived in Konoha, and the Cloud ninja team was also here.

A total of thirty people, besides the three jōnin, Cloud Village had brought nine genin teams to participate in Konoha's chūnin exam.

Although not as many as the fifteen teams from Rock Village, they were still the third most populous village.

After arriving in Konoha, Dodai called Samui into the house, his expression serious as he spoke, "Samui, if you see Yugito, convey the Raikage's words to her, tell her not to overthink it."

"I understand, Dodai-sama, once I see Yugito, I'll persuade her well."

Samui's expression was emotionless, not because she didn't take the task seriously, but because she rarely showed emotions.

"But Dodai-sama, will Konoha let us take Yugito?"

"They should, considering the sincerity we've shown this time. If Konoha still refuses, then we can only..."

Dodai rubbed his temples, saying they had even brought out the other Six Paths ninja tools, along with the war indemnity documents, and mission commissions from the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Rice Fields.

If Konoha still refused to return Yugito to them, then the Third Raikage would really have to swallow his pride and seek an alliance with Ōnoki.

The Two-Tails was too important to them; compared to that, pride was negligible.

This trip to the chūnin exams for the Cloud ninja was not only to negotiate with Konoha but also to exchange ideas with the Rock ninja.

Samui rubbed her shoulders, suddenly asking, "If Yugito doesn't come out of the Uchiha clan territory, can I go in?"

Dodai frowned slightly, then said, "Try it. If you can't get in, we'll think of another way."
