After Jiraiya's interjection, Minato also smiled.

Then, Hiruzen put down his pipe and asked Minato, "What would you do in such a situation, Minato?"

Minato paused thoughtfully before responding, "Third Hokage, I'm not entirely sure."

"But I probably wouldn't agree to Cloud Village's demands. They have shown untrustworthiness twice now, which makes it hard for me to trust them again. What if they retaliate against Konoha once they get the Two-Tails back?"

"Moreover, the items they offered in exchange for the Two-Tails can't really be compared. We're not familiar with the Six Paths tools; what if Cloud Village gives us defective ones?"

In the ninja world, even enemy tools must be handled with extreme caution, let alone the legendary tools of the Sage of the Six Paths. If they used tools provided by Cloud Village and something disastrous occurred, it would make Konoha the laughingstock of the ninja world.

"Yes, you're correct, Minato. You're already looking at issues from the perspective of a Hokage," praised Hiruzen with a smile, then glanced at Jiraiya, "If it were you, Jiraiya, you might just say 'I don't know,' right?"

Jiraiya crossed his arms and replied defensively, "Old man, don't start appreciating Minato and disparaging me. Remember, I taught him!"

"Thankfully, Minato didn't pick up your peeping habits."

Hiruzen retorted disdainfully, then continued questioning Minato, "What's your view on the Two-Tails, Minato?"

"The Two-Tails, you mean Yugito? Since she has joined Konoha, she is a ninja of Konoha. If I become Hokage, I will protect her as the Hokage."

"But you don't know everything about her. Can she control the Tailed Beast? Might she cause unrest in the village? Currently, we only know her movements outside the Uchiha clan territory."

Hiruzen exhaled a cloud of smoke, then added, "Minato, you've seen what happens when a Jinchuriki loses control. Kushina nearly killed you when you helped seal her. A free Jinchuriki unleashing the Tailed Beast's power in the village…"

These words silenced Minato. He had been severely injured by an out-of-control Kushina before, and the memory of a Jinchuriki losing control was vivid in his mind.

"If it were me, I would personally meet with Yugito, explain my intentions, and then persuade her to agree to Konoha's method of managing Jinchuriki."

After some thought, Minato continued, "Everyone in Konoha is my comrade. I will strive to understand my comrades and have them understand me. That's my approach."

"Well said, Minato."

Jiraiya expressed his satisfaction. His novels always hoped for mutual understanding among people, which he believed would eliminate wars.

His student had inherited his will and seemed to be even more exceptional.

Hiruzen also nodded, although it wasn't exactly the answer he was hoping for, Minato's proactive and determined attitude, supported by his own endorsement, was promising. Hiruzen then prepared to convene with two advisors to discuss matters and asked Jiraiya and Minato to leave.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Minato asked Jiraiya quietly, "Sensei, is the Uchiha clan really so domineering in the village?"

"It used to be fine. I remember before Fugaku defected, he got along well with the old man. But after the new clan leader took over, the Uchiha's attitude became more assertive."

Jiraiya stroked his chin, recalling his interactions with Yōichi and rumors he had heard in the village.

"I've heard there are two factions within the Uchiha clan: one that prefers peaceful methods and another that is more forceful. Yōichi, the new clan leader, belongs to the latter. Even among the village's senior ranks like Danzo, he is known for his militant style."

"However, such a militant style isn't very popular in the village, as most ninjas prefer peace."

Hearing this, Minato nodded in understanding, wondering how well he had performed in front of the Third Hokage. It seemed he still had a long way to go if he wanted to become Hokage.

Elsewhere.

Sakumo initially intended to take Yōichi to a dango shop, but a disagreement led them to the food district instead.

"Sakumo-senpai, haven't you had lunch yet? Why not try the hotpot restaurant my clan recently opened? It could also be an opportunity for me to receive some guidance from you."

Thus, Sakumo found himself standing outside the Uchiha hotpot restaurant, the pungent spicy aroma wafting out even before he entered.

"How could such a place exist in Konoha?"

Sakumo was about to make an excuse to leave, but Yōichi firmly dragged him inside.

Inside, Yoichi initially ordered the super spicy pot, but upon seeing Sakumo's changing face, Yōichi switched it to a dual-flavor pot, which relieved Sakumo a bit.

Once the hotpot arrived, Yōichi also ordered ten servings of magical goat meat, a rare dish limited to 200 servings per day, usually sold out by noon. Fortunately, they arrived early enough to secure some.

"Sakumo-senpai, do you think Cloud Village will start a war?"

"It was uncertain before, but after what just happened... it's very likely."

Sakumo said with a smile, not because of Yōichi's slap, but because if Cloud Village didn't want to start a war, even cutting off Dodai's legs wouldn't stop it.

However, their eagerness to retrieve the Two-Tails, even offering Six Paths tools and conceding defeat, likely indicated an intention to continue the war once they regained the Two-Tails.

This was unlike Cloud Village's usual style.

"Just now, the Third Hokage called us over, and it didn't seem like he intended to negotiate seriously with Cloud Village. Otherwise, why involve me?"

After their meal, Yōichi and Sakumo headed to the exam site. When Kakashi and Kurenai emerged, they learned of the sudden change to the second round's format.

However, sudden changes were common in missions. Kakashi had experienced missions meant to protect someone turning into a situation where they became accused of murder and had to flee.

"Yōichi-sama."

Obito approached, excitedly greeting Yōichi; his life had improved significantly, and thanks to Yōichi, wearing the Uchiha clan's fan symbol earned him much attention.

"Obito, do your best to eliminate Kakashi in the third round."

This encouragement hit right where Obito needed it, and he responded enthusiastically, "Yes, Yōichi-sama, I will do my best."

Kakashi rolled his eyes as Yōichi stirred trouble upon meeting him.

After meeting Kurenai and her team, Yōichi intended to return home, but instead, he headed towards the supermarket.

He had noticed that Mikoto seemed unwell yesterday, unsure if it was due to exhaustion or mood, and decided to check on her.

Upon reaching Mikoto's office, he entered directly, finding her desk tidy but her face lacking its usual gentleness, replaced by worry.

"Mikoto, what's bothering you?"

"Yōichi-sama."

Mikoto, feeling reassured by Yōichi's presence, was about to speak when Yōichi pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"Yōichi-sama, I might not be a qualified mother. I forgot the time I was supposed to meet Itachi, and by the time I remembered and went to find him, I felt that no matter what I did, I couldn't make up for breaking that day's promise."

Mikoto expressed deep regret. Whenever she went to see Itachi now, he still called her 'Mother,' but there seemed to be a barrier between them.

"Yōichi-sama, what should I do?"

Mikoto, feeling helpless, grasped Yōichi's hand, seeking support.

"Itachi, right? I remember he's only three. Why not move him to live with you? Last time you were worried about being too busy, but if you live together, your concerns will disappear."

Yōichi suggested as he caressed Mikoto's soft, pale hand, "Don't overwork yourself. Just delegate more to other clan members, work four to five hours a day. I spend no more than two hours at the police force; that should be manageable."

"But what about the task Fugaku assigned to Shinji-san?"

"Defector's tasks are irrelevant. I'm the clan leader, I'll speak to Shinji. Mikoto, you are Itachi's mother."

Yōichi advised, but then his gaze unintentionally landed on Mikoto's nylon-clad leg, and he couldn't help but hold it.

Perhaps influenced by Mina, who often placed her nylon-clad feet in Yōichi's hands, he had developed a particular interest.

"There's plenty of space around my house, Mikoto. You could pick a spot and build a house there, then move Itachi to live with you. Dwelling on past oversights is pointless; make up for them in the future."

"Besides, you've been too busy. I shouldn't have given you so much responsibility that you sometimes skip meals."

Mikoto felt touched by Yōichi's empathetic perspective and his willingness to help her address her worries. "Yōichi-sama, it was my choice before, it's not your fault. I just need to pay more attention."

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke, feeling a sensitive tingle where Yōichi held her foot; though distracted by thoughts of Itachi, it was hard for her to concentrate.

"Yōichi-sama, I..."

"I understand. We still have some time. I'll head over to the police force shortly; Mikoto, you should start delegating your work too. It's impossible for one person to handle everything."

After finishing his advice, Yōichi helped Mikoto up from the sofa.

If he didn't help Mikoto resolve this issue soon, she might even start neglecting her meals.

Although Yōichi didn't particularly care for Itachi, there was no need to deliberately make things uncomfortable for Mikoto.

Before leaving, Mikoto gratefully adjusted Yōichi's clothes—a gesture more about reconnecting with her role as a wife than actual necessity.

After Yōichi left, Mikoto felt slightly relieved. The past couldn't be changed, but she resolved to make amends going forward.

"Shinji-kun, this is the situation. I have some fault in this matter too. Right now, all of the Uchiha clan's business is managed by Mikoto-san. I've arranged for our clansmen to help her with the workload, but she still wishes to live with her son."

Yōichi spoke to Shinji, who fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment, he responded:

"But Clan Leader, this was an instruction from Fugaku of the Uchiha clan, and it's also an instruction from the Eighth Elder."

"You're referring to Fugaku, who betrayed the village and the Uchiha clan. Are you planning to follow his instructions and aid a rogue ninja?"

Yōichi's tone grew heavier. "Shinji-kun, do you understand what you're saying? Mikoto-san is Itachi's biological mother. She was too busy handling the clan's business for the well-being of all our clansmen to care for her son. Now, are you still trying to stop her?"

"Let's bring it up at the next clan meeting. If anyone supports you, then we can let it go."

Shinji trembled at the mention of the clan meeting. He had refused Mikoto before and felt uneasy, but she hadn't pressed further after his refusal.

This time, he opposed Yōichi's request because of the promise made to the Eighth Elder. But stopping a mother from living with her son, especially under Fugaku's orders… If this issue were presented at the meeting, the angry clansmen would tear him apart.

Mikoto still manages the clan business and oversees monthly benefits for the clansmen. Shinji could already imagine having to apologize by committing seppuku after sitting down at the clan meeting.

"Clan Leader, I understand. I'll speak to Itachi when I return."

He knew that if he stubbornly held onto Fugaku's instructions, the clan would consider him in cahoots with a rogue ninja.

Yōichi nodded, "Mikoto-san doesn't want to return to the old house. She's recently been looking for a new place to live. Just have her take Itachi directly."

"Yes, Clan Leader."

After Shinji left, Yōichi also left.

Regaining custody of Itachi was a small matter. Last time, Mikoto felt she couldn't care for Itachi due to her busy schedule, so Yōichi didn't intervene.

Otherwise, Fugaku's instructions and the Eighth Elder's admonitions wouldn't have been able to outweigh Yōichi.

He felt nothing for Itachi and had no expectations or affection for him. He even felt repulsed by what Itachi would eventually do in the ninja world.

But that's not possible now. With Yōichi around, the Uchiha won't be destroyed.

Later that night, after dinner, Yōichi and Mina were resting on the couch when someone suddenly walked in.

In the room was only Mikoto, dressed in formal attire. Despite her tired but beautiful face, she was smiling more than before.

When Mina saw her enter, she pouted unhappily. Why come this late? She clung tightly to Yōichi's arm.

Mikoto glanced at Mina's little trick, but paid it no mind and relayed what had happened to Yōichi.

She had just visited Itachi and informed him that they would be living together. She had stayed with him until he needed to rest.

Although the house wasn't finished yet, Mikoto decided to move Itachi into her current place, Yōichi's former house.

After Yōichi left in the afternoon, Mikoto began teaching other assistants to lessen her own workload.

She also discovered a young orphanage director who seemed quite capable. During her orphanage visit, she noticed all the others were chaotic, while this one was well-organized.

Mikoto planned to approach the director to see if she would help.

But that's for later. Mikoto came to thank Yōichi tonight. Without him decisively deciding to have Itachi move in with her, she'd still be worried about repairing their relationship.

"Yōichi-kun, thank you for today."

"Mikoto, saying thanks is too distant."

Before she could finish, Yōichi interrupted her. Hearing this, her eyes softened, and she unconsciously leaned toward him.

"Yōichi-kun, I want to spend more time with Itachi for the next few days and talk about the clan business tonight."

Mina held Yōichi's arm tighter upon hearing this; what business? She just wanted to occupy his time.

"Alright then."

"Yōichi-sama, I—"

*Clap! Clap! Clap!*

Yōichi used a faint current of Lightning Release chakra, making Mina jump with a red face and cover her bottom. Her silk-covered feet stomped upstairs back to her room.

"Mikoto, let's go upstairs."

"Yes, Anata~"

Calling him husband, Mikoto held Yōichi's hand and went upstairs.

Tonight, she wanted to thank Yōichi as his wife. Tomorrow, she'd embrace her role as a mother.

---

"Ōtsuchi-kun, please keep this quiet; this is my clone."

Late at night, Dodai's clone appeared in Ōtsuchi's room, revealing his identity to stop Ōtsuchi from attacking.

"Kumogakure's Dōdai? Why come to my room this late?"

"I'm here to see you, Ōtsuchi-san, mainly for a meeting. Lord Raikage wants to speak with the Third Tsuchikage."

His words made Ōtsuchi pause, then suspect some trick.

"A meeting? I've never heard of it, and what do Iwagakure and you Kumogakure have to discuss?"

The two have always been wary of each other, with friction dating back to the Second Shinobi World War. They have nearly two decades of enmity.

Dōdai calmly explained, "It's Lord Raikage's decision. There's an important matter to discuss with the Third Tsuchikage. We've prepared equipment for the talks, so both sides can remain in their respective villages and record the meeting remotely."

"Did you fail in negotiations with Konoha and come to us as a backup?"

Ōtsuchi asked, probing for ulterior motives. Kumogakure's defeat by Konoha wasn't a secret. Connecting this with today's sighting of Dōdai leaving the Hokage's office, Ōtsuchi suspected this.

"It is related, but the specifics must be decided by our respective leaders. What do you think, Ōtsuchi-kun?"

Dōdai's clone continued, "Konoha has repeatedly defeated Sunagakure and us. Now they are hosting a large-scale Chūnin Exam to assert their military might. If Iwagakure remains focused on us, it'd be a mistake."

"I'll take it but will report back after the Chūnin Exam ends."

"Then I leave it to you."

*Bang*

After speaking, Dōdai's clone disappeared, with the memories returning to the original. 

Ōtsuchi stored the scroll and resumed resting; no intelligence could be delivered from within Konoha, or it might be intercepted.

Konoha's current arrogance was evident. Hosting a Chūnin Exam to showcase their military might, they practically considered themselves the top of the Five Great Nations.

If Kumogakure wanted to ally against Konoha, Ōtsuchi believed his father would likely agree.

---

The next day.

The second round of the Chūnin Exam began quickly, but Yōichi didn't attend. He'd done enough for his three students.

Today, Mina didn't go to the Konoha Hospital either, as the underground lab had fully cultivated the Hashirama cells.

She hadn't expected Yōichi's cells to fuse with the Hashirama cells so quickly, several times faster than an ordinary person.

"Yōichi-sama, it's ready for fusion. Though I haven't tested it on you in the dream world, the others had a 100% success rate."

"It's fine, Mina. If others have such a high success rate, it'll be even higher for an Uchiha."

Yōichi lay on the operating table, giving Mina the go-ahead to proceed.

Mina skillfully fused the cells and then observed Yōichi's reaction.

At first, he felt nothing, but soon his body felt like it was soaked in a hot spring. A wave of warmth flowed through him, even affecting his chakra.

It was unlike the heat of Godzilla; this warmth was comforting and even soothed his eyes.

His eyes suddenly revealed a Mangekyō Sharingan. He cut a wound on his arm and used Yasaka no Magatama.

Under the power of the Dōjutsu, a deep, lengthy wound healed in mere seconds, leaving Mina speechless.

"Yōichi-sama, you're—"

"I'm testing my eye power. It seems effective."

Yōichi closed his eyes, sensing. Previously, using the Mangekyō Sharingan would drain his energy. Now, he felt his chakra slowly recovering his lost eye power.

"The fusion is successful, Mina. You can start integrating the Hashirama cells into yourself and Mikoto."

Yōichi checked his reflection; no drastic changes appeared. His skin remained normal without turning pale or monstrous.

Mina's hands lingered nearby until Yōichi's expression darkened, and she muttered, "I'll do mine first before Mikoto's. I must go before her."

"As you like. But why argue when you're already together?"

"It's all Yōichi-sama's fault! Don't say it!"

Mina huffed and covered his mouth.

Last night had been her most embarrassing experience, waiting all night only for two people to show up.

Yōichi-sama hadn't even showered. She was supposed to go first but ended up losing everything to Mikoto.

"Alright, alright. Keep working, Mina. I'm heading out."

Yōichi left, satisfied. With the Hashirama cells now fused, learning Sage Art was next. He only needed Wood Release and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

He also had a senzu bean and wondered if he should try to use it to evolve his Sharingan.

But he couldn't pinpoint if evolving the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was about quality or quantity. If it was just stacking ocular power, he could continue absorbing starstone chakra.

But he was nearly out of starstone, and the Mangekyō hadn't evolved into the Eternal form.

He suspected the Eternal Mangekyō required a qualitative change, needing two different ocular powers to stimulate the upgrade.

He'd need another Mangekyō, but using one from a distant bloodline reduced the odds of success. It wasn't impossible, though.

"In such a good mood today, should I draw a nice power, right?"

Yōichi had this sudden thought. Last night's joy and today's successful fusion made him feel great.

"Just once."

Accumulated draws could be saved up. If a war breaks out, he might be busy for months.

Deciding, he summoned the superpower wheel and used his opportunity.

[Strategy Guide]: Perfectly aids the host in strategizing against any target. Even mortal enemies have weaknesses that can be exploited.

PS: This is the materialization of a top strategist's abilities. It will disappear after three targets are conquered.

"What kind of ability is this? I'm playing a strategy game in the ninja world?"

Yōichi grimaced, but he carefully studied the ability.

He could see a book that only he could see. By writing a name and confirming it, he could follow step-by-step instructions to victory.

"That magical?"

Yōichi curiously wrote down Mina's name. The next second, the guide displayed a message:

[Affection: 100% (No Need to Conquer)]

At 100% affection, she'd die for Yōichi. Given their relationship, it's normal.

At 90%, a target would be willing to marry Yōichi.

"Let's check Mikoto."

[Affection: 100% (No Need to Conquer)]

Seeing a perfect score for Mikoto, Yōichi was satisfied.

"Besides Mina and Mikoto, who else is there to conquer?"

Yōichi thought of someone and cautiously wrote "Tsunade" in the guide.

[Affection: 64% (Conquerable)]
