Born with a great love for the Uchiha

If Uchiha Gen had invested some resources in other clan members, he could have gained something.

So, if Uchiha Gen invested a little resource in Sasuke, he could gain much more, several times more than others!

This is incredibly cost-effective.

The main thing is.

Uchiha Sasuke is not a super ungrateful wretch like his brother.

Konoha treats the Uchiha clan like this.

Even after becoming an adult, Sasuke Uchiha continued to dedicate himself to Konoha.

This is the true inheritor of the Will of Fire!

Seeing that Uchiha Gen's attitude was firm, Minato Namikaze didn't say anything more.

In terms of official rank, Uchiha Gen is the Fifth Hokage and the current highest authority in the village.

Personally, Uchiha Gen was the head of the Uchiha clan and had a certain degree of decision-making power over the clan members.

Since Gen Uchiha wanted Itachi Uchiha to guard the gate...

Then let him guard the gate...

Minato Namikaze was just a little disappointed that the village hadn't paid enough attention to such a young genius.

However, Minato Namikaze had seen plenty of "geniuses" in the village.

However, those "geniuses" prefer to call him a genius...

A prodigy like Itachi Uchiha.

Villages have appeared before.

Isn't that Kakashi Hatake?

When Minato Namikaze thought of his own disciple, he couldn't care less about Itachi Uchiha or anything like that.

Kakashi's experiences over the years.

I've also learned quite a bit about Minato Namikaze.

He initially brought Kakashi Hatake into the Anbu mainly to comfort and guide his disciple.

At that time, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara died one after the other.

Especially the latter.

Nohara Rin was killed "personally" by Hatake Kakashi.

Minato Namikaze couldn't bear to see Kakashi Hatake in such a distraught state, so he recruited him into the Anbu and gave him the mission of "protecting Kushina Uzumaki".

Kushina Uzumaki was already pregnant at the time.

Minato Namikaze hoped to expose Kakashi to new life in order to improve his mental state.

The Fourth Hokage had no intention of keeping his disciples confined to the Anbu to do dirty and tiring work for the village!

But what I didn't expect was...

After the deaths of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept Kakashi in the Anbu until he stepped down.

In Minato Namikaze's eyes, the Anbu was not a good place to cultivate talent.

Ninjas who have been in contact with darkness for too long are extremely vulnerable to being consumed by it.

Danzo Shimura is a case in point.

And Orochimaru too.

Minato Namikaze looked at the Fifth Hokage's "placement" of Kakashi Hatake.

"Kakashi...is he going to the 7th Division?"

"Actually, there are quite a few squads that would be suitable for Kakashi-senpai, the First Squad, the Second Squad, the Third Squad... he can choose whatever he wants."

When facing Kakashi Hatake's "teacher," Gen Uchiha took the initiative to explain.

"But I think the main problem Kakashi-senpai is facing right now is not his work, but his own heart."

"Obito Uchiha has just been executed. In any case, his relationship with Kakashi-senpai is... extremely complicated."

"The 7th Division - Patrol Guard Team needs to interact with villagers on a daily basis and communicate with other people a lot."

"I think Kakashi-senpai needs a little bit of 'humanity' right now."

"Kakashi is a bit cold."

Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement.

"The Seventh Division... is indeed quite suitable for him now."

And according to what the Fifth Hokage said.

After Kakashi Hatake finishes his "training" in the 7th Division.

Kakashi Hatake can also choose from other squads within the police force!

Minato Namikaze, as Kakashi's teacher, doesn't need to worry about Kakashi Hatake's future.

'But I'll still find a chance to see Kakashi later...'

Minato Namikaze still had some concern for his disciple.

At this time.

On the other side of the village.

Minato Namikaze's teacher, however, found himself in trouble.

Chapter 207 The Toad Immortal's Capture!

Konoha, the hot spring town, a hot spring inn.

White mist rises and water vapor swirls, and the faint sounds of women chatting and splashing water can be heard from within the steam.

Beside the wooden wall on one side of the hot spring.

A tall figure squatted in the corner with great skill, his right eye pressed against a small hole that had been cut out in the wooden wall beforehand.

"This angle... no, no, the fog is too thick."

"This angle... won't work either, the light isn't enough, the outlines aren't clear..."

"Can't the lighting in women's bathhouses be better these days? How are writers supposed to find material for their works?"

As Jiraiya muttered to himself, he pulled a charcoal pencil and a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

This isn't spying; this is gathering material.

Adult writers who are completely absorbed in research are too focused.

So much so that he didn't notice four figures suddenly appearing on the roof behind him.

"Reporting, Captain."

A member of the Seventh Division reported in a low voice.

"The spy's target has been preliminarily identified as Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, with white hair, a robust build, and facial features."

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin?"

Uchiha Rai frowned deeply and raised his right hand, making a tactical gesture.

"Whoever it is, the Seventh Division's duty is to apprehend criminals! All units, move out!"

Whoosh whoosh—

Four figures descended from the sky.

Uchiha Rai and one of his teammates approached from behind, while two other teammates flanked them from the left and right.

"Don't move! Peeping Tom!"

Uchiha Rai activated the Breath of Lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

He drew his short sword from his waist and, with lightning speed, placed it against Jiraiya's neck.

"You're under arrest!"

Jiraiya, who was still completely absorbed in the art of voyeurism, suddenly froze.

He remained crouched, turning his head inch by inch.

Jiraiya's gaze fell on the short sword held to his neck, the smooth, gleaming blade clearly reflecting Uchiha Rai's expressionless face.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Jiraiya's gaze shifted upwards, looking at Uchiha Rai.

"Young man, let me explain first, I am—"

“The voyeur is here.”

Uchiha Rai's short sword remained motionless, and he immediately revealed the other party's true name.

“You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say next can be used against you in court.”

Seriously, sir?

Could the police force make an exception?

Jiraiya's expression was so ugly it looked like he had swallowed a toad whole.

The Seventh Division's actions also attracted the attention of the Konoha villagers near the hot spring inn.

A group of Konoha villagers immediately gathered around and pointed at Jiraiya, who had been arrested by the Seventh Division.

Peeping into the women's bathhouse?
