"The clan head didn't say much, but the elders have always wanted me to marry someone from the main family. I don't want that, so I can only stay by Sensei's side," Rumi said with a double meaning. Yoichi nodded, accepting this reason, and approved her application.
"Kurenai, your strength is impressive. It would be best if you gained some experience as a squad leader. That way, you could become a significant figure in the village in the future."
"I'm not interested in that. I'd prefer something more stable and want to continue training with you, Sensei, to further improve my abilities," Kurenai said, slightly lowering her head.
She thought to herself that becoming a high-ranking member of Konoha held no appeal; she wasn't interested in power.
"Alright, but you two should familiarize yourselves with the work quickly because the workload will only increase. I'll have you follow Morimura for half a month. If you have any questions, ask my wood clones," Yoichi said, not entirely thrilled about making them his assistants due to their lack of experience.
Rumi's reason for wanting to stay by his side was valid. To avoid the Hyuga clan's pressure, she needed his protection.
Having agreed to Rumi's request, he couldn't very well deny Kurenai. Now, they needed to get accustomed to village affairs.
Fortunately, both had the capability; running around for a month or two should help them get the hang of things.
Yoichi approved their applications, instructing them to learn the procedures and report to the necessary departments.
The Sand Village emissaries would arrive tomorrow, and the Chunin Exam schedule needed to be finalized.
If negotiations with Sand Village failed, Konoha would organize the exam with the surrounding smaller nations, excluding Sand Village.
Yoichi suspected Sand Village would compromise, but he was uncertain about Pakura's condition. He would see her tomorrow and gauge her attitude to decide whether to proceed with his plan.
Pakura had been dealing with the Cursed Seal for a year. Sand Village likely didn't have advanced sealing techniques like the Evil Sealing Method, leaving her helpless against the Cursed Seal.
Reports indicated Pakura had a significant conflict with the Fourth Kazekage Rasa a year ago. Despite an official gag order, such an event couldn't be entirely covered up, especially since Pakura accused the village leadership of betrayal.
Even if Sand Village restored some order, the underlying tensions remained. Rasa's influence was growing, especially after making his son the One-Tail Jinchuriki.
In contrast, Pakura's influence would wane during peacetime. Her mission to Konoha reflected the pressure she felt from Rasa. If she couldn't secure support, she was ready to either go down fighting or defect.
Yoichi hoped to incite chaos within Sand Village and ultimately destroy it, opening a route from the Land of Fire to the Land of Wind and then to Roran.
He needed a more direct way to harness the Dragon Vein's energy, as continuously teleporting there via the Flying Thunder God Technique was costly, even with the Tailed Beasts' chakra.
Having used two wood clones to handle the accumulated work, Yoichi decided to visit the Konoha Hospital.
He had approved a request to build a large underground laboratory, knowing it was for Tsunade's research. The village's finances had improved significantly, thanks to post-war mission commissions and a booming local economy.
Leaving his office, Yoichi noticed the Hokage's office was empty and asked an ANBU about the Fourth Hokage's whereabouts.
"The Fourth Hokage has finished today's work and gone home. Shall I summon him for you, Assistant Hokage?"
". . . No, it's fine," Yoichi replied, annoyed. Kakashi's father had cleverly shifted work onto him and left. He briefly considered dragging Kakashi back for overtime but decided against it, knowing Sakumo would just countermand the order.
Yoichi headed to the hospital, thinking it was the second day since Tsunade's return and that he should see if she needed anything.
At the hospital, he went straight to the top floor, where Tsunade's office was.
"Come in," came the response after he knocked. Inside, Tsunade was sitting on a sofa, not looking particularly busy.
"What brings you here, you brat?" Tsunade smiled, though her expression soured slightly, remembering how Yoichi had worn her out in his office the previous day.
"I finished my work early and saw your application. I came to see if you needed anything," Yoichi said, sitting next to her and hugging her. His hands began to wander over her soft, curvy body, savoring her faint fragrance.
"Hmm~" Tsunade let out a soft moan as Yoichi's hands found sensitive spots. "You little brat, always up to mischief. Those facilities are for researching the Extremis Virus. It's a remarkable thing, changing the brain. Hmm~"
"I believe in your abilities, Tsunade. If anyone can make the Extremis Virus work in the ninja world, it's you," Yoichi reassured her. He had no doubt she could achieve it with her medical skills, especially once she had perfected the virus, allowing them to study gene potential more efficiently.
Yoichi had accumulated two lottery draws over the past year and used them to get half a month of the Research Assistant ability. He aimed to merge the World-Destroying Spear technique with his existing ninjutsu and taijutsu.
After spending over two hours in Tsunade's office, Yoichi left, realizing it was getting dark. He headed home, thinking of his plans to use the Research Assistant to improve his combat techniques.
As he descended the stairs, he ran into Rin. "Yoichi-sensei, what brings you to the hospital?"
"I came to see Tsunade. How's your training going? Do you need any help?" Yoichi asked, realizing he hadn't checked on her progress recently.
"I'm doing well. I've just been certified as a medical jonin, thanks to Lady Mina's teachings," Rin said, smiling. Then, her face turned slightly red as she gathered her courage and stepped closer. "Sensei, I've improved my medical ninjutsu. Would you like a massage? You must be tired as the Assistant Hokage."
"Hmm," Yoichi said, considering. He didn't feel particularly 'tired', but it was hard to refuse Rin's offer. "How about later? I need to get home."
"After dinner, I'll be in the lab. You can come by then," Rin suggested, smiling sweetly before walking away with her long, slender legs.
Yoichi finished dinner at home and headed to the lab, an external facility near the Uchiha compound. Rin often came here to practice, and tonight was no different.
"Sensei, you're here," Rin greeted him. The lab was dimly lit, with only a few lights on, creating an intimate atmosphere.
"Rin, I—"
"Sensei, come inside. It's fine if it's a bit dark out here," Rin interrupted, taking Yoichi's hand and leading him inside.
Inside the room, Rin instructed, "Lie down on the bed, Sensei. Remember, you need to take off your shirt for this to work."
Yoichi complied, lying down as Rin requested. Her hands began to work, using medical ninjutsu to massage his muscles, which felt incredibly soothing.
"Mmhm~" Rin let out a soft moan, stopping her technique abruptly and collapsing onto Yoichi's chest. She reveled in the closeness, feeling Yoichi's warmth against her.
"Sensei, I didn't mean to... that was..."
Yoichi stroked her hair and reassured her, "I understand, Rin. But let's wait a few more years, alright?"
"Sensei," Rin said, her face lighting up with joy. She moved up to kiss him, feeling accepted and cherished.

Ten minutes later, the room was quiet except for Rin's slightly heavy breathing. Yoichi, stroking her hair, decided it was time to share some troubling information.
"Rin, do you remember Obito, who liked you?"
"Obito? Of course. He sacrificed himself to save me and Kakashi from the Rock Ninja," Rin replied.
"I've investigated. He might not be dead. He joined the Akatsuki organization and is likely behind the attack that killed Minato. He might have gone mad after seeing you die."
Rin's breath caught in her throat. If Yoichi was telling the truth, Obito had survived and turned into a villain responsible for so much pain.
"Sensei, I can't forgive him for what he's done, even if he did save me once. I can't accept his actions under the guise of love."
"His goal is to destroy the world, and he might target Konoha again."
"Obito... has gone mad. Sensei, you have to stop him. Don't let him continue this madness," Rin pleaded.
"I will. I thought you might plead for him."
"If he hadn't done such horrible things, I would have asked you to spare him out of gratitude. But his actions are unforgivable. The Obito I knew is gone."
"Don't worry, he won't harm Konoha any further," Yoichi assured her. The Kamui technique was troublesome, but he had another Kamui Sharingan and planned to use it against Obito.
...
"Is this Konoha?" Pakura and her team were stunned by the village's prosperity as they entered, led by a Konoha ninja.
"Sand ninja, please don't stand on the utility poles. Head to the Hokage building," the Konoha ninja instructed.
Pakura jumped down, feeling a bit embarrassed, and followed the guide. They arrived at the Hokage building, where the guide handed them over to another ninja.
"These are the Sand Village emissaries here to discuss the Chunin Exam."
"The Sand emissaries, huh? Take them to the next room. Yoichi-kun handles their affairs," Sakumo said.
"Yes, Hokage-sama," the ninja replied, leading Pakura and her team to Yoichi's office.
