Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 76 Uzumaki Mito, you don’t want to live like this forever, do you?
Uchiha Makoto's simple question struck Uzumaki Mito straight to the heart.

Weren’t we just having a nice chat?

I also gave you a precious secret technique as a wedding gift.

Uchiha Makoto, why did you suddenly start attacking me, and using such cruel means? What is Tobirama's catchphrase?

He is indeed a born evil Uchiha brat!!
Uzumaki Mito was silent for a moment.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

She was thinking about how to answer Uchiha Makoto's question.

These few short seconds felt like ages to her. Uzumaki Mito really wanted to answer firmly and immediately: "Yes, that idiot Hashirama loves me with all his heart!"

But the imagination is beautiful.

The reality is very skinny.

Uzumaki Mito knows her own feelings well. She can deceive others but not herself. Her husband, Senju Hashirama, probably has someone else in his heart.

sometimes.
Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but fantasize in her heart that if that bastard Uchiha Madara was a woman, would Hashirama really cheat on her, disregarding his own face, his harmonious and happy family, and even throwing the friendship between the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan behind his back, and abandoning herself directly.

The answer to this assumption is very heartbreaking.

Will Hashirama?

No?
Uzumaki Mito didn't dare to think further. She was really scared. In the end, she could only silently thank goodness in her heart that Uchiha Madara was a man.

My thoughts quickly returned.

Faced with such a problem.

Whether for the sake of Konoha's reputation or for his own, he certainly couldn't give a negative answer, so Uzumaki Mito could only force a smile and then answered Uchiha Makoto: "Of course."

"Ah, that's really great."

"I really envy the relationship between you two as husband and wife."

Uchiha Makoto said this, but his eyes keenly sensed the reluctance and sadness beneath Uzumaki Mito's smile. He didn't believe what Uzumaki Mito had just said.

This is just the pathetic tenacity of a woman!

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, the old enemies and close friends, were forced to separate when they were young due to the hatred between their fathers and families. Now they have grown up and become the patriarchs of their respective families, but they continue to fight due to various reasons. Now they have finally broken through numerous obstacles and reconciled.

What a great script for the male and female protagonists!
How great it would be if they were a man and a woman, there wouldn't be so many tragedies happening in the ninja world. It's a pity that they are both men.

Of course, this does not affect Uzumaki Mito's being benched.

Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara are probably in a rare honeymoon period now. If there had not been the inherently evil old demon Senju to interfere, Uchiha Madara might not have been so determined to leave Konoha and finally walk towards the path of the Moon Eye Plan without hesitation.

all in all.

Life at home must be tough for Uzumaki Mito right now (especially regarding her married life).
"Mito-sama, could you please tell me how you and Hashirama-sama get along? I'd also like to learn from your experience as a couple. This is a rare opportunity."

Uchiha Makoto chased after him to finish him off, not because he had any weird or evil taste.

But
He now has a very interesting idea. Considering the previous plan, the Uzumaki Mito in front of him is simply the best spokesperson for the first generation of feminism. There is simply no one more suitable than her in Konoha.

She is very powerful and holds a very high status in Konoha Village. When she was young, she was also a powerful female ninja. However, she was neglected in her family and was as sad as an abandoned woman.

So once Uzumaki Mito awakens the independent thinking of women.

It must be burning like a raging fire.

The most important thing is that with Uzumaki Mito as a shield, he can more easily and without any scruples break into Konoha Village with his carefully planned cultural invasion lasting for several years or even more than ten years.

Even Senju Tobirama couldn't take any forceful measures.

Not only because of Uzumaki Mito's identity
Also because.
Slogans such as women's awakening and women's independence are not a big deal.

According to the current customs of the ninja world.

After adult female ninjas get married and have children, they usually choose to give up the ninja profession and return to their families to take care of their husbands and children. For example, Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, Hyuga Hinata, Temari, etc. Almost all of them do this.

There are only rare exceptions.
For example, Tsunade.

She never got married because the man she loved died in the war, and the man who liked her was a pervert, whom she despised, so she enjoyed a beautiful and comfortable single life all her life.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this habit; it is just a personal choice.

However, the current custom in the ninja world - that female ninjas must return to their families after getting married and having children - has indeed led to various problems such as a decrease in the number of ninjas and a decrease in the number of combatants.

Regardless of gender, training a qualified ninja is a considerable expense. The ninja tools for training from childhood require money, the training ground requires money, the secret medicine for training requires money, and all kinds of expenses. Once a female ninja gets married and withdraws from the ninja sequence, the investment will be directly reduced to zero.

How can this be possible?
Uchiha Makoto would definitely not do such a losing business. This outdated custom must be swept into the trash.

The new era must have a new atmosphere.

If you take advantage of someone's kindness, you must repay it with compound interest.

Uchiha Makoto is not worried that there will be any obstacles to reform in Akatsuki Village. The Ninja School has perfectly helped him solve this problem. These ninjas who graduated from the Ninja School can go to the battlefield to perform missions at his command.

The ninjas of Akatsuki Village will be completely professional in the future. If a ninja is loyal to the Lord of Light and Shadow for one day, he will be loyal to the Lord of Light and Shadow for the rest of his life!

But Muye.
I can't do anything myself, so I can only start to make changes from other aspects little by little.

If Uzumaki Mito takes up the banner of female independence and calls on sisters to break free from traditional constraints, break through family obstacles, and devote themselves wholeheartedly to their own professional struggles, even if such an approach goes against tradition, there will definitely be many female ninjas willing to respond to Uzumaki Mito's call and return to the ninja combat sequence.

I'm afraid that the old devil Senju Tobirama, who is born evil, will have no choice but to remain silent at that time. It is also beneficial for Konoha to have female ninjas return to the combat sequence. With more female ninjas who can fight, there will be more ninjas who can carry out tasks, and the competitiveness of the village will naturally be enhanced.

This is a real benefit that he has put into his mouth.

of course.

This is just the first step in Makoto Uchiha's plan. Who starts by unleashing a powerful attack right away?

once Upon a time.

Women can hold up half the sky, which is not just a slogan. They can work in the halls and in the mines, and they truly hold up half the sky.

For example, the female textile workers in Xiaonin Village are very hardworking. Everyone cherishes this hard-earned and stable job, and some even work while taking care of their children.

As for why it changed later?

That is of course because there are bad people among the masses. It is very difficult to guide people to be good, but it is too easy to teach them to be bad. You can start a business with no capital and do not have to bear any responsibility. There are always some people who like to get something for nothing.

For the time being, we should take the essence and discard the dregs. Let Konoha eat the good things first, and then penetrate them little by little until the critical moment comes.
Then detonate it directly.

Of course, the power of this move is probably smaller than the one Uchiha Makoto experienced. After all, the ninja village is a military organization, and the next second-generation Hokage is still Senju Tobirama, the old ghost who is born evil. This guy is probably going to really pull the guys who have shaken the morale of the army in the rear to fill the line on the battlefield.

Uchiha Makoto's thoughts changed. Although he had evil intentions in his heart, his eyes were still burning as he asked Uzumaki Mito for advice on the secret of getting along with his wife.

Uzumaki Mito's throat was full of saliva and he swallowed a few times.

This question really stumped me again.

If he could master the secrets of getting along with his wife, Uzumaki Mito would have already controlled Senju Hashirama. Not to mention meeting Uchiha Madara every day, even meeting him occasionally would not be allowed and he would have to take precautions in advance!
Uzumaki Mito looked at Uchiha Makoto's sincere and knowledge-hungry eyes, and could only think about how to answer Uchiha Makoto's question at a very fast speed. Her man was almost abducted by that damn Uchiha Madara.
Oh no.

It seemed like he had been kidnapped. Hashirama Senju went out to carry out a mission with Uchiha Madara without even saying goodbye to Uzumaki Mito.

"Let me think about it. First, I will take care of the housework every day, then I will prepare my own meals and wait for Hashirama to come home. No matter how busy Hashirama is at work, he will come home to eat with me and spend the evening together."

Uzumaki Mito reacted quickly. Since there was no so-called trick, she might as well just tell him the beautiful scene of the couple getting along together that she imagined.

Anyway, Uchiha Makoto had no way to verify it, so there was no way for him to doubt whether what he said was made up.

“It’s really beneficial.”

Uchiha Chen looked like he had learned a lot, but then the topic suddenly changed, and the topic veered into a direction that Uzumaki Mito had never imagined. "Mito-sama, do you usually do this kind of housework at home?"

"Yeah, that's right, what's the problem?"

Uzumaki Mito nodded.

She didn't think there was anything strange about this matter. The female ninjas in the family around her were basically like this. They became ninjas when they were young, and after getting married, they would give up the ninja career and return to the family to take care of their husbands and children.

Everyone has always been like this.

"The problem is quite big."

"Such ideas are already backward from the Warring States era. I believe that in our Ninja Village era, outstanding, powerful and progressive female kunoichi must break free from the constraints of family, devote their energy to their careers, and use their lives to make indelible contributions to the Ninja Village."

Uchiha Makoto spoke in a high-spirited tone and with a righteous look on his face. Uzumaki Mito seemed to be touched in her heart and couldn't help but want to listen to Uchiha Makoto continue.

Uzumaki Mito's life was too dull. He dealt with trivial matters at home every day, but those boring daily chores could not relieve his inner loneliness at all.

“Break with tradition!”

"Find your true self!"

"A truly outstanding female kunoichi would never indulge in such vulgar pursuits as love affairs. It is simply a sin to let them be bound by pathetic household chores as soon as they get married!

"They should have more and better pursuits, find their own value in life, make their own careers, and ultimately achieve prosperity for the ninja village!"

Uchiha Makoto began to chant the Bible, and bowl after bowl of warm and nutritious chicken soup was poured into Uzumaki Mito's stomach, like a clear spring flowing into Uzumaki Mito's long-dry heart.

Uzumaki Mito's eyes became brighter and her blood became hotter. She seemed to have found the direction of her future life.

How could she live a mediocre life?

Is this the day she wants?

For the future of her family, she chose to marry Hashirama Senju. After marriage, she continued to work hard to manage her own family and gave birth to children for Hashirama Senju. But what has she gained now?

Hashirama, has he fallen in love with me?

Hashirama, can he see the efforts he makes every day?
It seems not!
Uzumaki Mito really couldn't convince herself to say "yes" to her heart.

It is true that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!

Uzumaki Mito just felt that what Uchiha Makoto said was damn good, and it hit the nail on the head. She also felt that her current life was really boring and tedious, and she could see the end of the rest of her life at a glance, but she couldn't find a way out of the predicament. Hashirama's heart had been abducted by that bastard Uchiha Madara.

Now Uzumaki Mito is enlightened.

It turns out that I was bound by the traditions of the Warring States Period!
An excellent female ninja should break the constraints of old rules and bravely pursue her own life and independence!
She was once a genius ninja of the Uzumaki clan, not a vassal of Hashirama Senju.

“That’s really well said!”

Uzumaki Mito's cheeks flushed.

Her blood boiled after being inspired by Uchiha Makoto's chicken soup. Uzumaki Mito didn't want to continue her boring and trivial life anymore. She wanted to choose to live for herself.

This rebellion against worldly conventions, the breaking free of shackles, and the usual cold attitude of Hashirama Senju towards her—all these intertwined emotions gave Mito Uzumaki a rebellious and indescribable sense of immorality.

"Mito-sama is truly an exceptional kunoichi. She was able to figure things out in such a short time. A new era has arrived, and those outdated habits of the past should be swept into the trash. With kunoichi like you, the future of kunoichi is bound to be promising!"

Uchiha Makoto started to flatter and praise Uzumaki Mito generously. Even he thought it was terrible that he could convince Uzumaki Mito, a woman who lacked love, so easily!

"Ah, that's too much."

"I still have to thank you for this, Master Guangying. If it weren't for your words today, I'm afraid my future would be..."

Uzumaki Mito began to sincerely call Uchiha Makoto "Lord of Light and Shadow". If it weren't for Uchiha Makoto, she would probably have sunk in loneliness forever.
