"I haven't left the clan grounds for a long time, but yesterday I had to leave to deal with your matter at the Hokage Tower with the clan leader."
Kenji's words seemed like a complaint, but the smile on his face revealed his good mood.
"Although I don't know what secret mission Sakumo was on, after he and the higher-ups returned from the lord's mansion, the Uchiha clan received rewards from the lord. While it wasn't direct, ultimately, the village benefits."
Yoichi was surprised by this news and asked, "The village didn't give me any trouble for leaving without permission?"
"What trouble could that be? If they dared to make an issue out of it, then the Police Force would start strictly investigating unauthorized departures tomorrow. No one would be able to leave the village then. It was under the Hokage's orders, after all."
Kenji laughed confidently; after all, did the members of the Shimura clan ask for permission before they left the village? Applying such rules to civilian ninjas was one thing, but to think they would enforce it on ninja clans?
"Besides, you involved that Kakashi kid, Sakumo's son. How would they punish him? Praise the father with one hand and punish the son with the other?"
Kenji was in a good mood today, quickly finishing his cup of tea. "I heard this mission was very important. You might even get a mission reward, possibly getting to choose a ninjutsu."
"Really? Elder Kenji, I don't mean to doubt you, but last time I almost threw Danzo's face into the toilet. And now you're telling me the village's higher-ups want to reward me with a ninjutsu? Is it from the Scroll of Seals?"
This barrage of news was overwhelming for Yoichi, sounding as fantastical as fiction.
"I'm not sure. The Scroll of Seals, said to be recorded by the Second Hokage, contains many dangerous ninjutsu that most people can't even practice. If they really offer you a technique from the Scroll of Seals, I'd advise against accepting it!"
Kenji shook his head, explaining the dangers of Forbidden Jutsu. B-rank techniques were already challenging for Jonin, and A-rank ones, which are Forbidden Jutsu, required vast amounts of chakra that even Jonin couldn't sustain multiple uses.
"For the Uchiha clan, our Fire Release, shurikenjutsu, and Sharingan are more than enough to make our mark in the ninja world. Forbidden Jutsu would just be icing on the cake."
Yoichi responded, "I'll see when the time comes. If they offer, I won't be polite."
"By the way, that Uzumaki girl you're associated with has also come to the attention of the village's higher-ups."
Kenji poured himself another cup of tea, casually mentioning, "That Uzumaki girl seems to be quite skilled in medical ninjutsu, though I don't know the specifics. You should ask her when you get back; they only inquired about her. Now, she's known outside as Uchiha, not Uzumaki Mina, that's her name, right?"
"Yes, what are they planning now?"
Yoichi clicked his tongue, "Why do I feel like they're targeting me? Any small move and I'm under scrutiny."
"Geniuses will always attract attention, Yoichi. You'll have to get used to it. When you become the clan leader, all our clan members will be watching you."
Kenji spoke softly.
"And they can only inquire. It's impossible for them to take her away. As for keeping an eye on you, isn't that normal? After all, Danzo lost face badly last time."
Yoichi laughed, then shared that his Sharingan had evolved to three tomoe. Upon hearing this, Kenji was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
A fourteen-year-old with three-tomoe Sharingan is undoubtedly a genius. Now, Yoichi is just a step away from becoming clan leader, lacking only reputation and opportunity.
After leaving the elder's house, Yoichi headed home; he planned to ask Mina if anyone had been looking for her lately.
He also mentioned the medicine business. Yoichi planned to expand the medicine factory, knowing wars were likely in the coming years. With the funds available, it was time to strategize.
He aimed to earn not just from civilians but also from ninjas.
The Uchiha also had their business, collaborating with the Nekomata clan on weapons, who also helped gather information from the ninja world. Though not a huge business, it covered the clan's regular expenses.
Now, Yoichi had three businesses in hand: the medicine business was about to go public, the gaming business was acquiring factories, and as for the magic goats, they'd wait till next year to see the results.
After returning home, Yoichi checked on Gates, who spent his days eating and sleeping, then nagging Yoichi for energy-rich meats, only to be kicked away by Yoichi.
Gates, always demanding without doing much, would soon be asked to sign a summoning contract with Mina.
Mina had plenty of chakra but lacked self-defense techniques. Before awakening the Adamantine Sealing Chains, her strength was akin to a Chunin's, and that too without much combat experience.
With Gates' help, Mina wouldn't have to fear even Jonin, despite Gates not being able to use Beast King Roar Bullet, Gravity Control Technique, and Earth Pillar Technique, or utilize his massive bear paws continuously. Facing a dozen ninjas wouldn't be a problem.
Yoichi, having used his ability to "borrow" without permission today, feared he wouldn't have many chances back in Konoha, so he stole some chakra from a wandering ninja on the way back. Through days of stealing, Yoichi learned that only by taking physical or mental energy could he permanently increase his strength.
Dōjutsu, a manifestation of mental energy, could also be considered Yin Release.
That evening, when Mina returned, she typically announced her arrival at the door, "I'm back."
Then, she kicked off her shoes and flopped onto the sofa, not noticing Yoichi's return, and began to mutter to herself.
"I'm so tired, and I still have to study sealing techniques later."
Hearing this from the kitchen, Yoichi was about to suggest Mina rest more when he heard her continue, "When is Yoichi-sama coming back? I bought several pairs of white stockings."
"Does Yoichi-sama prefer thigh-highs or full tights? Maybe in a few days, I should..."
Her speculation became increasingly absurd, pondering why one couldn't like both!
Yoichi coughed, then called out loudly, "Mina, it's time to eat!"
"Yoichi-sama?"
A thud sounded, followed by Mina's hurried reply, "I'm coming, right away."
