Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

"I have some things to report, mainly summarizing the profits from the ninja game and the needs of the clan. I also wanted to visit you. Thank you for your hard work, Yangyi-kun."

Mrs. Mikoto briefly explained her purpose, and then presented the gifts.

"This isn't urgent. I just had my dressing changed and can't carry anything right now. Let's see what happens after we go out."

Uchiha Yoichi said slowly, then continued with a slight smirk, "I might believe you if you came to visit, but Uchiha Fugaku would never have such intentions. He'd love for me to die."

"No, Yoichi-kun, you've misunderstood Fugaku. He didn't have that idea."

"Never mind, Mrs. Mikoto, there's no need to explain."

Uchiha Yoichi didn't believe Mikoto's explanation at all. He had almost killed Uchiha Fugaku before, and now she wanted to take his position as clan leader. Their ideologies were different, so how could they possibly coexist peacefully?

"Is there anything else?"

"Also, Fugaku asked me to tell you something, he was also relaying a message from the Third Hokage, he wants to exchange the Amber Purification Bottle with you."

Mikoto Uchiha was a little embarrassed. She had just told Fugaku that he had asked her to come and visit, but then she turned around and brought up this matter. She should have known better than to say that.

"As expected, Lady Mikoto, tell Fugaku Uchiha to convey to the Third Hokage that this matter is non-negotiable, the item is mine, and I will not exchange it."

Uchiha Yoichi sneered. Uchiha Fugaku was indeed the same as always.

Lady Mikoto didn't know what to do either, so Fugaku asked her to pass on the message. As a result, Yoichi became a little angry after hearing it.

Uchiha Yang chuckled and said, "Mrs. Mikoto, you really came here with a purpose today. It's kind of you to bring a gift."

"I'm sorry, Yoichi-kun, Fugaku only asked me to pass on the message; he didn't try to dissuade me."

"Well, my answer is no, it's no use talking to anyone."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi slowly got up and prepared to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Mikoto asked, "Yoichi-kun, what are you planning to do? Let me help you."

"I need to use the restroom, I can do it myself."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto's face flushed slightly, and she sat back down somewhat embarrassed. However, she suddenly noticed that Uchiha Yoichi's arms had just been dressed and were wrapped in bandages.

"Yang Yi-jun, you're probably not available right now, right? I'll go find someone for you."

However, before Mikoto could finish speaking, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted her, saying, "There's no one here to take care of you."

"In that case..."

Mikoto didn't know what was wrong with her. Remembering when Uchiha Yoichi misunderstood her earlier, she suddenly blurted out, "Let me help you, Yoichi-kun."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mikoto's mind went blank. She had no idea what she had just said. It wasn't until after she finished speaking that her mind came to its senses.

"No, no, Yang Yi-kun, I just..."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Mrs. Mikoto."

"Why?"

Mikoto Uchiha was taken aback. She hadn't expected to say those words, and she certainly hadn't expected Yoichi Uchiha to agree.

But if I want to back out now, won't Yang Yijun misunderstand and think that I'm playing a trick on him?

The incident with the Third Hokage had already caused Yang Yijun to misunderstand, and now... now she's said something else entirely.

"Yang Yi-kun, I...I...Oh, Yang Yi-kun?"

Just as Mikoto was about to explain, she saw Yang Yijun heading towards the restroom, which made her breathing quicken.

If she says she's giving up now, isn't it possible that Yang Yijun will dislike her and kick her out? If she fails to fulfill the agreement, what about the contract she signed and the intelligence gathering task Fugaku assigned her?

Two conflicting emotions were causing Mikoto's mind to become a complete mess.

She then slowly made a decision, took a deep breath, and comforted herself, saying, "Mikoto, this is about helping the patient. Don't think about anything else. Yoichi is a hero of Konoha. Thinking about the past is pointless."

After comforting her, Mikoto stood up, her long, slender legs clad in black stockings, and went to the bathroom door. She knocked on the door and went inside.

Once inside, seeing that Yang Yijun hadn't made any move yet, Mikoto stammered, "Yang...Yang Yijun, let me help you."

"Thank you for your help, Mrs. Mikoto."

"No, it's alright. Yoichi is a hero of Konoha. He suffered because of Konoha. I, I'm nothing."

After a while, she finally took off her black cotton stockings and pantyhose, but these two items brought her trouble again, and she didn't know what to do with them.

Taking it out would definitely look strange, and it would smell bad if I carried it with me; after thinking for a while, Mikoto bit her lip and threw it into the trash can, then hid the trash can in a corner to prevent others from seeing it.

She planned to go out and buy a bag later, then come back to pack the items and destroy them.

After coming out of the bathroom.

When Mikoto saw Uchiha Yoichi on the hospital bed, she quickly bowed and apologized, "Yoichi-kun, I'm sorry, it was my mistake just now."

She felt it was extremely rude—no, not rude, but very inappropriate, absolutely inappropriate—to grip it so tightly.

"Oh, Mrs. Mikoto, the pain is so bad I was thinking of seeing a doctor. It still hurts a bit. What if something goes wrong?"

"I'm so sorry!"

"If problems arise, will Mrs. Misaka take responsibility?"

"Oh? I'm so sorry, Yang Yi-kun, I'm terribly sorry!"

Mikoto is now so confused that she doesn't know what to do, so she can only keep bowing and apologizing.

Uchiha Yoichi knew that this was the limit for Lady Mikoto. If he continued, she would only apologize repeatedly. However, it was quite interesting to see Lady Mikoto bowing and apologizing so much. She had even taken off her pantyhose, leaving her long legs completely exposed.

Besides, he still has a confused body and can't do anything with women, otherwise he'll dehydrate and die in three minutes.

"Never mind, Mrs. Mikoto, you should go back."

"Yes, yes, I'm very sorry, Yang Yi-kun."

Mikoto, somewhat flustered, bowed again, then took the documents and left.

After everyone left, Uchiha Yoichi smiled and thought to himself, "What an easy woman to fool."

A short while later, Uchiha Mikoto knocked on the door again and came in, blushing and bowing her head, saying, "Excuse me, Yoichi-kun, could you please use the restroom?"

Without waiting for Uchiha Yang's reply, she went straight in and came out in less than two minutes. However, the bag she had just brought in was clearly filled with something.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi clicked his tongue; it turned out he hadn't taken it with him earlier.

Cloud Ninja Village.

On the high platform of the Heavenly Sending Technique, a figure suddenly appeared. When the Cloud Ninja guarding the side went forward to take a look, they found that the person who had been sent back by the Heavenly Sending Technique was the Third Raikage, and he had lost an arm.

"Someone, quickly go and inform Lord Tsuchidai, and call over some medical ninjas."

Lord Raikage is injured?

Many Cloud Ninjas are unaware of this. In their minds, only a berserk Eight-Tails could harm the Raikage. But how many berserk Eight-Tails are there in the ninja world?

But now the facts are right in front of them, and they have no choice but to believe it.

Then Tsuchikage and medical ninjas rushed over to treat and bandage the wound, and it took a while to finally finish treating the Third Raikage's injury.

Aside from the severed arm, the Third Raikage had no other wounds. The wound had been carbonized, and it took them a long time to heal it.

"You may all leave."

After shooing some people out of the house, Tsuchikage asked the Third Raikage, "Lord Raikage, what happened?"

The Third Raikage gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said, "Tsuchitai, I'm going to attack the Land of Fire and kill those Konoha ninjas."

"Alright, I'll go and send word to A and Killer Bee to come back. Raikage, please take good care of your injuries."

Tsuchikage didn't say anything about the timing being inappropriate, nor did he ask how Mabum and the others were doing. He could only go along with the Third Raikage's wishes.

However, Konoha actually had a ninja capable of injuring the Raikage, and even annihilated all the ninjas the Raikage had brought with him, allowing the Raikage to escape using the Heavenly Transfer Technique. Konoha is truly remarkable.

If war were to break out against Konoha, then we would need to stabilize Iwagakure, otherwise Kumogakure would definitely not be able to withstand a two-front war; however, A and Killer Bee are still on a mission in the Land of Earth, which is a bit of a headache.

While Tsuchikage was delivering the message, he was constantly thinking about starting a war. He even summoned the high-ranking members of the Cloud Ninja to the Third Raikage's office to discuss the matter.

He was the Raikage's right-hand man, and since the Raikage had made a decision, he had to do his best to fulfill it.

After the Third Raikage was expelled, many ninjas gathered in the northern part of the Land of Fire.

This was an arrangement made by Hiruzen Sarutobi. At least two ninja battalions were stationed at the border, with Yoruichi Mimura temporarily in command. This was to guard against any last-minute arrangements by the Hidden Cloud Village.

If war were to break out, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely arrange for someone else to take his place; Yoruichi Mimura has some command ability, but not enough strength, and would be at a disadvantage against powerful ninjas.

Two large-scale ninja battles broke out at Kikyo Castle. The Sand Ninja wanted to go further and take Kikyo Castle as well, but they were repelled by Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze would have a hard time facing Rasa, so he avoided Rasa on the battlefield and actively sought out other ninjas, leaving Rasa to his master Jiraiya to deal with.

Jiraiya's command was excellent, and his own strength was also quite good. With the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninja forces and medical team, they were able to repel the Sand Village's attacks twice.

Apart from the battlefield at Kikyo Castle, no large-scale wars broke out in other parts of the ninja world.

In Konoha, Uchiha Yangichi was discharged from the hospital after six days. With the combined treatment of medical ninjutsu and medicine, his injuries healed quickly.

This mission was quite fruitful. First of all, his reputation in the village has greatly improved. The title of almost killing the Third Raikage fell on him and Hatake Sakumo. Now, even the Jonin in the same village will very politely call him Yoichi Jonin because of his strength.

There are also the Six Paths Ninja Tools and Mabum's flesh and blood. As long as he masters the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, he will have a human-shaped teleportation array.

As for the rewards for other missions, there's no need to mention them. What Jonin earn is fame and status in the village. After this incident, Uchiha Yoichi's status in the village will be much higher.

Moreover, fame and strength are generally proportional. Hatake Sakumo was very famous and very strong. He was basically the number one Jonin after the Hokage in Konoha.
