Yoichi was particular picky about the bounty targets he chose; those who died were mostly nobles from small countries, untouched by the great nations.
In fact, what the manager at the exchange office said was true; the rewards for assassinating Fire Country ministers were greater. The cheapest one was still around forty to fifty million ryo, even more than Asuma, at the time he was thirty years old.
However, those targeted for bounties were all close to Konoha's elders. If he were to act against them, Yoichi might face pursuit from Konoha.
Even if he disguised himself before taking action, he could still be traced.
Konoha had too many special techniques: those who plays with dogs, insects, or delved into minds...
Even though one of the Fire Temple's hosts died, despite it being due to the Akatsuki, Konoha mobilized twenty ANBU squads all at once. Just this lineup alone wasn't something an ordinary person could handle.
"Chakra metal can be entrusted to the Neko Clan for forging. But as for weapon choice, should it be a ninjato or a kunai?"
Yoichi was a bit conflicted about this question as he returned on the road. If he crafted a ninjato, the Uchiha clan had a hereditary swordsmanship technique that was quite famous in the ninja world.
He was considered a sacrifice for the Uchiha clan, and as long as he requested the Uchiha-style swordsmanship, the clan would certainly provide it.
However, the Uchiha-style swordsmanship didn't quite align with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
After careful consideration, Yoichi decided to forge a ninjato. But he wouldn't learn the Uchiha-style swordsmanship; he would only learn some basic sword techniques.
Then, he could use the Lightning Release Chakra Mode as a foundation to create his own lethal swordsmanship.
Upon returning to Konoha, Yoichi went straight to the Hokage's office; he needed to submit the mission record.
He had been away for almost a month, and it was evident that a B-rank assassination mission wouldn't take that long. It was likely that both the clan and the mission department knew he was doing something else while on his mission.
But Yoichi didn't care; he never hid his intention to leave the village from the start.
"Uchiha Yoichi, the B-rank mission has been completed. I'm here to submit it."
"Uchiha Yoichi, you've been away for quite a while. The client submitted their mission ten days ago, and according to our information, you only took three days to complete it."
Before the ninja in front of him could finish speaking, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted him, saying, "This has nothing to do with your department. Mind your own business and submit the mission to me now!"
"You..."
The ninja from the mission department was choked by Yoichi's words, and he was visibly angered. However, his companion beside him quickly pulled him back and then took the mission scroll.
"Uchiha Yoichi, let me handle this for you."
After receiving the mission scroll, the ninja stamped it with two seals and then handed over the mission reward to Yoichi.
"Yoichi-sama, do you want to take on another mission?"
"No, I intend to rest for a while."
After Yoichi finished speaking, he prepared to leave. He didn't need more money; he had been to several places in the past month. Yoichi couldn't let himself be constantly busy; he needed some time to rest in the village and wait for his new weapon.
Just as Yoichi was about to leave the mission department's room, the ninja who had spoken ill of him earlier whispered again, "It's because he couldn't find any useful teammates that he's struggling and wants to rest for a while, isn't it?"
"Hey, stop it."
Although the man's voice was lowered, Yoichi still heard it.
So, he paused and turned directly towards the person who had spoken ill of him, expressionless.
Another ninja saw this and said, "Yoichi-sama, he didn't mean it; it's because of Sugimoto-kun's..."
Boom!~
Before the persuading ninja could finish his words, Yoichi suddenly accelerated, lifting his leg and not only kicked the table into pieces but also sent the ninja who had mocked him flying into the wall, causing numerous cracks on its surface.
Seeing this, the other ninjas from the mission department immediately showed anger and shouted, "Uchiha Yoichi, how dare you attack a fellow comrade in the village!?"
"Don't joke around; why should trash like him be my comrade? Wasn't his remark just now a slight against Konoha shinobi or against the Uchiha?"
Yoichi's Sharingan swept around. Although he only had one tomoe, coupled with his complexion and tone, it still carried some oppressive force.
Moreover, these people didn't have much strength, mostly consisting of chuunins and genins.
Seeing that none of them dared to speak, Yoichi turned off his Sharingan and left without saying another word.
As for the consequences, he didn't care. When it came down to it, the village and the Uchiha clan owed him, and now some idiot dared to mock him. If he didn't teach that idiot a lesson, wouldn't anyone be able to insult him at will in the future?
He worked so hard to cultivate, not to be treated like a turtle.
After Yoichi left, one of the ninjas from the mission department hurriedly said, "Quick, take Sugimoto-kun to the hospital. I'll go report this to the Hokage."

"Kanbayashi-senpai, there's something I want to ask you."
After returning to the clan, Yoichi went straight to the Security Division. Since they were from the same clan, the Uchiha clan members at the door didn't stop him.
"Yoichi? You've been gone for a month; you finally decided to come back. The clan head even asked about you, and was a bit worried you might have defected!"
After saying a few words, Kanbayashi continued, "What's the matter? Haven't you finished the village's missions?"
"It's not that; I've already completed them. I had a reason for staying outside. I coincidentally obtained this."
After Yoichi finished speaking, he took out a small box containing Chakra metal and opened it to show Kanbayashi.
Upon seeing it, Kanbayashi's eyes widened in surprise. "Chakra metal? You're really lucky to get such a big piece. It's probably worth several million ryo. It seems like you want to use this Chakra metal to forge a ninja tool?"
"A ninjato. I want to learn some sword techniques, but I don't know how to contact the Nekomata clan, so I want Kanbayashi-senpai to help me out. I'll cover the cost of forging the ninja tool myself."
"You don't need to pay; we have a collaboration with the Nekomata clan. We'll settle the bill together later. Besides, we support the younger generation of the clan, and you haven't asked for anything from the clan yet. Now you've even found the materials yourself; you don't need to pay for the forging fee."
After hearing this, Yoichi didn't insist further and continued, "Then please Kanbayashi-senpai.Also I hope the weapon can lean towards the Lightning element during forging, which would suit me better."
Some Chakra weapons would incorporate unique metals during forging, such as the Second Hokage's Raijin no Ken and Kirigakure's Kiba, which belonged to the same category.
After making his request, Yoichi left with the Chakra metal. He had been away from home for almost a month, and he needed to clean up after returning.
...
On the other side.
Hiruzen was already annoyed that he had been interrupted while looking into the crystal ball. Now, after hearing the report from the mission department ninja, he felt even more troubled.
It's one thing to spread rumors behind someone's back, but saying it to their face is no different from pointing fingers and cursing.
But the fact that Yoichi physically attacked someone in the Hokage's office couldn't be overlooked. So, after thinking for a while, Hiruzen called an ANBU, "Inform Uchiha Fugaku that I need to speak with him."

Kapitel 11: Chapter 11
[T/N: Got sick, Covid or the flu, don't know, sent some love~!]
"Fugaku-san, the situation is like this. Although the receptionist also was at fault, I still hope everyone treats the villagers as family. If such a situation arises, feel free to come to me. I will speak up to Yoichi-kun."
Hiruzen spoke kindly to Fugaku. Upon hearing this, Fugaku nodded slightly with a slightly solemn expression.
"Hokage-sama, this time it was Yoichi's fault. I will punish him when I return. The medical expenses for Sugimoto-kun should also be cover by the Uchiha clan."
"Fugaku, it's good that you have good intentions. However, Sugimoto also has the fault. He shouldn't have spoken ill of Yoichi in public."
Sarutobi said with a slightly solemn tone, "I have emphasized many times that everyone in Konoha is one family. So this time, I won't overlook his mistake just because Sugimoto got injured."
"Hokage-sama, your broad-mindedness is admirable!"
Fugaku felt somewhat moved. His thoughts were not wrong. Hiruzen was someone who could bridge the gap between the Uchiha and Konoha.
'If I have children in the future, I'll name them after Hiruzen.'
After finishing the conversation, Fugaku returned to the guard unit, and arrangements were made to send Sugimoto's medical expenses to Konoha Hospital.
Later, Fugaku called Kanbayashi, the captain of the guard unit, and also a supporter of the clan leader.
"Kanbayashi-senpai, did you see Yoichi?"
"Yes, of course. Although he delayed quite a bit this time, it's understandable. Clan leader, you don't know, but he obtained a piece of chakra metal the size of half a fist outside. He came to me just now, wanting to forge a ninja sword."
"Half a fist in size? That's indeed rare. However, Kanbayashi-senpai, when Yoichi returned, he attacked the ninjas from the mission department at the Hokage Tower and sent one of them to the hospital."
Fugaku's tone shifted as he continued, "Because of this, I was just summoned by Hokage-sama. Although Hokage-sama didn't blame Yoichi and even let us handle it ourselves, Yoichi was too impulsive this time, actually attacking fellow Konoha shinobi at the Hokage Tower."
Upon hearing this explanation from Fugaku, Kanbayashi was somewhat incredulous and asked, "Clan leader, Yoichi is not an impulsive person. Why would he attack the ninjas from the mission department? Did they assign the wrong mission again?"
"No, Hokage-sama told me that the ninjas from the mission department were badmouthing Yoichi. When Yoichi heard it, he attacked the ninja and sent him to the hospital."
After hearing Fugaku's explanation, Kanbayashi somewhat understood, but he still asked, "Clan leader, how do you plan to handle this?"
"Call Yoichi here. He must be given appropriate punishment. If we don't show any response, it won't be justified in front of Hokage-sama."
"Hokage-sama has let you handle it yourself, why not just give him a verbal reprimand?"
Seeing that Fugaku didn't quite agree with his suggestion, Kanbayashi continued, "Clan leader, Yoichi was wronged in the previous incident. After that, he didn't ask for any compensation from the clan. If we punish Yoichi for this matter, it might really provoke his resentment and dissatisfaction."
No matter what, Yoichi was already a somewhat famous genius of the Uchiha clan. Being a chunin at the age of thirteen in Konoha was already rare, and he had survived several life-and-death missions. Either he escaped from an elite jounin team and even killed one.
Kanbayashi completely believed that Yoichi already had the strength of a jonin, just without official recognition.
In a few more years, Yoichi was likely to become a strong representative of the Uchiha clan. Punishing him for a minor matter would seem excessive to Kanbayashi.
"Kanbayashi-senpai, what you said makes sense. However, although we Uchiha are strong, there are many ninja clans in Konoha, and there are also many strong individuals. We already control the guard unit. If we try to grasp other powers, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among other ninja clans."
Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Many people in the village are watching us Uchiha closely. It's best not to give them any handle at this time. Although Yoichi is right in this matter, it's still unacceptable for him to injure fellow villagers at the Hokage Tower. Let him apologize to Sugimoto, the chuunin, to show his acknowledgment of his mistake, and it'll be enough for Hokage-sama to see."
"Just admitting his mistake isn't much of a punishment. I'll go persuade Yoichi."
Kanbayashi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he and Fugaku overlooked one thing. If the doves among the Uchiha clan bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, it wouldn't be that complicated.
But to make the hawks among the Uchiha clan bow their heads and admitted their mistakes, it would be better to control them with the Sharingan.
Although Yoichi was not a hawk, he would never do anything disgusting to himself and help others.
Striving to power was to live with dignity. Otherwise, with Yoichi's appearance, he would have more than enough fame to be a son-in-law to a prominent family. There was no need to endure the hardships of training every day.
Fugaku spoke up, "Tomorrow is the assembly. Kanbayashi-senpai, you should let Yoichi participate in the assembly. We'll handle it there."
Last time, when they talked privately, Fugaku noticed that Yoichi was quite assertive and didn't even ask for compensation from the clan.
Fugaku was worried that Yoichi might be the same as last time. However, when they reached the clan assembly, with the continuous persuasion from the supporters of the clan leader, Yoichi should agree to apologize.

"Ninja-sama, the custom order you requested is quite complicated. It will require a total of 150,000 ryo. The materials aren't expensive, but to make a custom-fit weight, it requires a skilled blacksmith."
"It's fine. Notify me when it's ready. Here's the money."
Yoichi took out a scroll, unlocked the seal, and took out 150,000 ryo from it, handing it to the owner of the ninja tool shop, leaving an address as well.
He had long planned for this weight. Physical training was essential for his training, especially for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode that required rigorous body conditioning.
However, the functions he wanted for the weight were quite extensive, hence the higher cost, unlike simple metal blocks like Rock Lee's.
The wrist guards, leg bindings, and ninja outfit all needed to have protective capabilities and be easy to disassemble. That's why it was so expensive.
The 43rd year of Konoha was approaching soon. Yoichi had just returned not long ago, and he heard that Konoha's top talent, Kakashi, planned to participate in the chuunin exams alone.
"Let's focus on training for a while. If only the Sharingan could be stimulated a bit more. The single tomoe is somewhat lacking."
Yoichi knew that the evolution of the Sharingan required stimulation, but it seemed that nothing could stimulate him.
