In the delivery room, shortly after Mina's cries ceased, Asami, the medical ninja, emerged holding a baby.
"Yoichi-sama, this is your daughter. Congratulations."
Asami, a jōnin, said with a smile. Despite being much older than Yoichi, every ninja addressed the Uchiha clan leader and Hokage's advisor with respect.
"Thank you for your hard work, Asami."
Yoichi took his daughter and looked at her. Although the baby was a bit unattractive, the more he looked, the more he liked her. He quickly asked, "How is Mina?"
"Mina is in good condition. With a few days of rest, she will recover completely. You can go in and see her now."
Asami checked inside and, seeing the nod from the medical ninja, knew everything was taken care of. She then noticed the bandages on Yoichi's face and asked, "Yoichi-sama, what about your eyes—"
"No worries, Mina has already checked them. Thank you for your concern."
Yoichi politely declined. The fusion of his Sharingan's ocular power had taken an unusually long time, almost a month, without success.
Fusing ocular powers between close relatives took only a few days, but the farther the blood relation, the slower the fusion.
Yoichi then took his daughter to see Mina. To be honest, he still couldn't believe he had a daughter in the ninja world.
Mina, who had regained some strength thanks to the strong regenerative power of Hashirama cells, smiled from her bed. "Yoichi-sama, what do you plan to name our child?"
Yoichi looked at the little one in his arms and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's call her Karin, Uchiha Karin!"
Mina smiled contentedly, "That's a wonderful name."
"Mina, you should rest well."
The birth of Yoichi's daughter was a joyous event in Konoha. Many came to offer congratulations, including other clans who brought gifts.
Yoichi accepted all the gifts and expressed his gratitude.
Following this, Uchiha clan's restaurants, shops, and supermarkets offered half-price deals for three consecutive days, bringing great joy to the villagers. The Uchiha clan's supermarkets carried many items from the ninja world, even flower tea from the Land of Tea.
Additionally, the supply of magic lamb was doubled. Although it still wasn't enough to meet demand, many people benefitted from the offers.
This increased the villagers' goodwill towards the Uchiha clan, with some even hoping Yoichi would have more children frequently.
Mina only needed one day of rest in the hospital before she almost completely recovered. She then took her daughter from Yoichi's hands.
Yoichi hired someone to help Mina take care of Karin. Despite becoming a mother, Mina's lively personality remained unchanged.
She even playfully scared Kushina by exaggerating the pain of childbirth, only to laugh heartily when Mikoto exposed her act.
A few days after Karin's birth, Yoichi's Sharingan slowly completed its fusion. He felt the increase in his ocular power had reached its limit and removed the bandages.
"...It succeeded."
Yoichi was extremely pleased to see the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern in the mirror. The pattern had changed to two overlapping triangular shuriken forming a hexagonal shuriken.
The enhancement of his ocular power also increased his chakra slowly.
"Next is to evolve the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the Rinnegan, but I don't want to wait decades."
Yoichi's fusion of Hashirama cells should be better than Madara's. Even if it were faster, it would still take over a decade.
Yoichi planned to master the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and reach the ultimate Susanoo. This would allow him to single-handedly destroy the other four great ninja villages.
However, managing the aftermath would require more help.
"There are still many things to do: the virus and gene primordial power."
By training his body with gene primordial power, Yoichi could reach the level of the Six Paths even without the Rinnegan. He also intended to seal and absorb another Ten-Tails.
He remembered that the Ten-Tails had been nurtured by Isshiki to its first form, only needing sufficient chakra to evolve to its second or third form.
The chakra of the tailed beasts could be extracted and would gradually recover over time.
Before the ability faded, Yoichi used it to improve three types of medicinal pills. One of them was the third-grade Wind Movement Pill, which increased speed.
Yoichi altered the Wind Movement Pill to increase chakra flow instead. The effect was the same: increased speed and greater destructive power in punches and kicks.
The effect was similar to opening the Eight Gates. Faster chakra flow meant greater speed and power.
However, the meridians were fragile, and too fast chakra flow could damage them. Even without injury, it would cause immense pain.
Fortunately, Yoichi also developed another pill, the Meridian Protection Pill.
This pill protected the meridians and was best taken with the Wind Movement Pill. The combined effect was equivalent to opening the first three gates of the Eight Gates, which was quite impressive.
These two pills wouldn't be sold externally, only used by clan members or sold to Konoha. The clan would certainly not let everyone use them due to their high cost.
They were life-saving pills with no significant side effects, almost rivaling the second secret medicine of the Akimichi clan, the Curry Pill.
The third secret medicine could unleash even greater power, but it had a high fatality rate. Even the Akimichi clan's fat reserves couldn't withstand it, and other ninjas would surely die after consuming it.
Given a choice, ninjas would likely prefer the Uchiha clan's Wind Movement Pill and Meridian Protection Pill, which had almost no side effects.
With the [Study God Buff], the Wind Movement Pill had reached the ninja world's limit. Higher-grade pills required rare herbs hundreds or thousands of years old, which weren't available.
After the [Study God Buff], Yoichi drew another ability.
[Favorable Wind Ear]: Allows hearing all sounds within ten kilometers and locking onto the source and location. When fully focused, it can even hear a person's thoughts within a hundred meters.
Yoichi was quite satisfied with this ability. When he first used it, the overwhelming noise forced him to cover his ears.
He gradually adjusted, locking onto and excluding unnecessary sounds, allowing him to control the [Favorable Wind Ear] ability and hear only what he wanted.
"Danzo, why has Root suffered such heavy losses in such a short time? If you don't give me an explanation, I won't agree to provide support."
Yoichi suddenly heard a voice among the myriad of sounds and immediately focused on its source.
Sarutobi Clan Residence.
"We encountered a very troublesome person, Hiruzen. This is all your fault. Why didn't you tell me about Jiraiya's three disciples, leading to such losses for Root?"
Danzo spoke coldly. He knew he was asking for a lot and had to shift the blame to Hiruzen to secure funding.
"Hanzo must complete the mission promised during the Kikyo Pass War, or we'll report this to Sakumo. I had no choice but to lend Root ninjas to Hanzo, but I didn't expect..."
Seeing Danzo pause, Hiruzen impatiently tapped his pipe, urging, "Get on with it, Danzo."
"It's the Rinnegan. Didn't Jiraiya tell you about it?"
Danzo coldly said, "After Yahiko's death, that boy named Nagato erupted with the Rinnegan's power, killing all my Root ninjas and Hanzo's subordinates. If not for my Body Flicker Technique, I wouldn't have made it back!"
"Rinnegan? The Sage of Six Paths' eyes, one of the Three Great Dojutsu?"
Hiruzen was shocked by the news. Sharingan and Byakugan were common, but the Rinnegan hadn't appeared in centuries.
It was said these eyes could bring peace to the world and contained the Sage's power.
"How did those three brats get the Rinnegan? Jiraiya... Danzo, explain in detail."
Danzo recounted the events, including Nagato's jutsu, to Hiruzen.
Hiruzen was furious. Had he known earlier, he would have had the Rinnegan boy brought back for Konoha's training. By now, he would be a powerful asset for Konoha.
Fortunately, Danzo hadn't been exposed. Root ninjas disguised as Rain ninjas prevented Shinku from getting the news.
Still, Hiruzen couldn't help but scold, "It's your presumptuous actions, Danzo. Otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered such losses."
"How could I know they had the Rinnegan, Hiruzen? You were handling them before. If I had that intel, Root wouldn't have acted!"
The argument continued, but Danzo secured funding from Hiruzen.
The Shimura family, weakened by the Police Force, struggled, while the Sarutobi family thrived. Once a significant clan during the Warring States period, they flourished even more after joining Konoha.
Lacking neither funds nor ninjas, Hiruzen provided Danzo with funds and ten ninjas after considering it.
After hearing this, Yoichi chuckled to himself, "No wonder there's no activity in Konoha. They're planning to develop in the Land of Demons and Land of Bears."
"Root's disguise should be ineffective. Obito will likely inform Nagato of Danzo's involvement, keeping the Akatsuki hostile to Konoha."
Yoichi then conceived a plan.
If Jiraiya's disciples died, he would surely investigate. If he learned Danzo killed them, it was uncertain which side he'd support.
"Jiraiya is on a journey. Only Hiruzen and Sakumo can contact him. I'll have Minato deliver the message to Jiraiya."
The Akatsuki had no effective communication method, so Yoichi casually prepared a scroll, sealed it with chakra, and had a wood clone place it in Minato's house.
With the Mist Village's harassment decreasing, Minato's return was imminent. He would certainly inform Jiraiya of this news upon his return.
"Yoichi-sama, I'm taking Karin for a check-up."
"She's only a few days old. What kind of check-up?"
"Karin's vitality is too strong. I want to ensure there are no issues."
Mina said seriously before putting on her shoes and leaving.
Yoichi didn't have time to speak. He had intended for Mina to look into Karin's lineage. With Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Senju blood, she was practically a mini-Six Paths.
However, if Mina needed reassurance, Yoichi let her go and planned to head to the lab.
The Uchiha pharmaceutical factory had already developed assembly line machinery for military ration pills and was working on equipment for compound pills.
The wealthy and powerful Uchiha clan, the strongest in the Land of Fire, hired renowned mechanical engineers to help industrialize pill production.
As Yoichi was about to leave, Yugito emerged from her room.
Seeing Yoichi, the girl snorted, pretending to ignore him as she headed to the kitchen.
"So you are here, Yugito. I thought you were on a mission."
Yoichi's mind stirred, and he used the [Favorable Wind Ear] ability to listen to Yugito's thoughts.
'Why hasn't this big pervert asked me to give him a back massage? Does he think I won't if I ignore him? And why is the strawberry pudding gone again?'
'It's so annoying. Why is he staring at me and not saying anything?'
Yoichi's mouth twitched upon hearing Yugito's thoughts. She was the typical tsundere girl, influenced by spending too much time with the Two-Tails, developing cat-like habits.
With this ability, understanding her was easy. Direct confrontation was the best approach.
"Yugito, I'm exhausted today. I need a massage!"
