Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

"Jonin Hatake, this is a gift, top-quality nourishing mutton. Even now that they are being raised and sold, only a few can be sold in a year."

Uchiha Yoichi presented the mutton gift box. The meat of the magical goat is very special. Even if it is frozen for several months, the freshness of the mutton will not be lost. Even if it is boiled in water, it is still a good dish.

After the delicious taste of the magical goat spread among the nobles of the Land of Fire, it quickly gained popularity.

Sakumo Hatake also tasted this kind of mutton. Kakashi brought some back with him, and it was indeed a top-quality meat. No other mutton in the ninja world could compare to it. It was addictive to eat.

"I really can't refuse such a gift, so thank you very much, Mr. Yang. Please come in and try my red bean soup."

Hatake Sakumo accepted the gift box with a smile and then welcomed Uchiha Yoichi inside.

When Uchiha Yang entered, he felt a little strange. Why was red bean soup served to guests? But after entering, he only hoped that the red bean soup was normal red bean soup.

The living area in front of the Hatake family's residence isn't very large, but if you include the dojo where they practice swordsmanship and the courtyard, it's considered quite big.

Not long after Uchiha Yoichi sat down, Hatake Sakumo brought out the refreshments for the guests, including desserts and red bean soup.

"Sakumo-senpai really likes sweets."

Uchiha Yoichi took a small bite and, after confirming that it was a normal dessert, he dared to eat it without worry; he was afraid that Hatake Sakumo would remember that he had said he liked spicy food last time, and then made him a chili-filled dumpling.

"Yang Yi, what brings you here today?"

"Well, this is more of a serious matter. I wanted to ask Sakumo-senpai if you have any plans to become Hokage?"

Uchiha Yang put down the red bean soup and asked Hatake Sakumo directly.

"Naruto"

Sakumo Hatake was not surprised; on the contrary, a look of understanding appeared on his face. He then said, "If the responsibility of protecting everyone and the village were given to me, I would certainly accept it. However, I might not be as motivated to run for office."

"Although I am a ninja, everyone in the Hatake clan finds a principle they believe in for life. I have found my principle, and I am just a little short of becoming a Hokage."

After hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi sighed inwardly. He sensed that Hatake Sakumo didn't want to be Hokage, but hearing those words still made him feel a little sorry.

"Sakumo-senpai, just as I told you last time, if the Hokage is still chosen from among the ninjas who inherited the will of the Second Hokage, then the Uchiha clan will eventually fight against the village. At that time, either the village will be destroyed or the Uchiha clan will perish."

Uchiha Yoichi calmly said, "I will become the clan head next, and I also want to become the Hokage, so I hope you will become the Fourth Hokage first, and then give the Uchiha clan a fair chance."

Sakumo Hatake was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and then said, "Yoichi-kun, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. Because of the incident involving Madara Uchiha and Setsuna Uchiha, the Second Hokage always believed that our Uchiha clan was a restless clan. In addition, the Sharingan requires strong emotions as a stimulus for evolution, which further strengthened the Second Hokage's belief."

The Second Hokage believed the Uchiha clan posed a risk of rebellion, and that his successor would be even more determined to uphold this will. He argued that if they wanted their chosen Hokage to change things, they should first be removed from office, or simply ignored. "Sakumo-senpai, who in the village do you think can do that?"

After careful consideration, Hatake Sakumo realized that it seemed no one could escape the master-disciple dynamic, not even Orochimaru.

Although he didn't interact with Orochimaru much, he could tell at a glance that the other was a ninja with his own beliefs and ideals, while Orochimaru's ideal was not the position of Hokage.

Once you become Hokage, you'll face a lot of tedious tasks, and eventually you might have to hand over those village affairs to others. At that point, you'll only have Orochimaru's master and the previous generation of Konoha advisors, which is like jumping into a cycle.

Sakumo Hatake sighed and said, "Yoichi-kun, can't you get along well with the next generation? If you had become the head of the Uchiha clan then, the Fourth Hokage might have accepted you."

"I have no reason to submit to or even side with those who are inferior to me. If I were to run for the Fourth Hokage, the current Third Hokage and the Konoha advisors, along with their networks, would do everything in their power to stop me. So my chances of becoming the Fourth Hokage are too small, because it's not fair."

Uchiha Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "I am very capable. I can make every member of the Uchiha clan rich, and in the future, I can make every villager rich. I have this ability, but I don't have the platform."

"If someone else becomes Hokage, then the Uchiha clan and the village will definitely not be able to coexist. Sakumo-senpai, do you think the Third Hokage or the next Hokage will want the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Sakumo Hatake remained silent. He figured that such an important figure as a Jinchuriki wouldn't agree to this; he believed that Uchiha Yoichi wouldn't do anything against his principles because he had dealt with him a few times.

Although Hatake Sakumo didn't know why the Third Hokage didn't make Uchiha Yoichi hand over at the Jonin meeting, the Konoha leadership would never give up on this idea.

"Yang Yi, I need to think about this carefully."

This time, Hatake Sakumo did not refuse decisively. If internal strife really broke out in the village in the future, and the Uchiha clan and the village's higher-ups fought each other, that was definitely not something he wanted to see.

"Right now, there is absolutely no one who can compete with Sakumo-senpai for the Fourth Hokage. Once Sakumo-senpai becomes Hokage, he can give the Uchiha clan a fair chance. Then you will see that Konoha will become the center of the ninja world."

Uchiha Yoichi is now confident that he can persuade Hatake Sakumo to become Hokage, even if Sakumo is unwilling, he can serve for a few years and then step down.

Within a few years, Uchiha Yoichi would be confident of becoming the next Hokage; the time available during the war was too short, and a new Hokage would likely be chosen after the war ended, leaving him insufficient time to exert his influence.

"I understand. I will make a decision when the time comes, Yang Yi."

After finishing his sentence, Hatake Sakumo pushed the tray of tea and snacks forward and said, "Try this skewer of dumplings. Kakashi loved eating them when he was little."

"Really? Then I'll try it."

Uchiha Yoichi put a dumpling in his mouth, tasted it, and then asked, "Does Kakashi still like to eat it?"

"That's what puzzles me. I used to love eating it, but now I suddenly don't like it anymore, hahaha, maybe I've just grown up."

"No, it's probably too sweet."

After taking a bite, Uchiha Yoichi put the dumpling back and said to Hatake Sakumo, "Next time, put less sugar in it, Sakumo-senpai."

----------------

After leaving the Hatake family, Uchiha Yoichi desperately wanted to eat a super spicy hot pot to relieve the sugar in his body.

However, all the hot pot in Konoha Village is sukiyaki, which doesn't suit his taste at all; fortunately, the commercial district he's building is almost finished, and he'll definitely open a super spicy hot pot restaurant there when it's done.

Half the space will be used to open supermarkets, and the other half will be used to open various restaurants; it doesn't matter if we lose a little money in the early stages, we will make it back later when the population of Konoha increases.

He will spend 100 taels in Konoha and earn 200 taels after making a round trip.

Moreover, he's already making a fortune every day, and in a few years, once the Magic Goat Farm is fully developed, he'll be making money off the mountain.

Ultimately, the Ninja World War was caused by insufficient resource allocation. Since ninjas were not involved in development, what could they do besides start wars when they received less money? They could only choose to earn resources through what they were best at.

I ate lunch outside and brought some back for Yugito, but the captured girl still wouldn't back down and kept looking at me with that kind of gaze.

So Uchiha Yoichi finished eating the lunch he brought back in front of Yugito.

Enraged, Yugito stood in front of the dining table, glaring at him for a while. Then, she stomped her little white-socked feet and shouted, "Fine, I won't eat then!"

After saying that, he ran back to his room.

After finishing his meal, Uchiha Yang glanced at the cupboard and saw that he had left three bowls of ramen yesterday, but now there were only two left.

It's not too silly that it knows to cook ramen for breakfast.

Uchiha Yoichi then set off for the forest behind the forest, as it was about time to meet Uchiha Fugaku.

The forest behind isn't too big; after walking about four or five kilometers, you'll reach the border of Konoha Village.

As soon as he entered the forest, Uchiha Yoichi sensed that there was more than just Uchiha Fugaku in the forest; the other chakra seemed to belong to Uchiha Hachidai.

Is it because they're afraid he'll use the Mangekyou Sharingan against Fugaku Uchiha?

Uchiha Yang smiled and then quickly found Uchiha Fugaku.

"What do you want from me? Just say it."

When Uchiha Fugaku saw Uchiha Yoichi, he asked him in a cold voice, without any intention of beating around the bush.

"Clan Chief Fugaku is indeed quite direct. If you hadn't made me back down again and again, perhaps we wouldn't be in such a tense situation. Senior Kabayashi has been quite considerate to me, but Clan Chief..."

Uchiha Yang smiled, and seeing Uchiha Fugaku's increasingly ashen face, he stopped talking nonsense and said directly to him, "Clan Head Fugaku, you should get a divorce!"

"Wh-what?"

Fugaku Uchiha was stunned when he heard this. He thought he had misheard, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he hadn't misheard. It seemed that he really was being asked to get a divorce.

"Why? Why can't I hand over the position of clan leader?!"

"Why should I ask you to give up something that's so easily within my grasp? I can just go get it myself. You don't think I'm incapable, do you, Chief Fugaku?"

Blood-red pupils appeared, and three magatama spun rapidly within them, merging into a hollow triangular dart.

Staring into those eyes, Fugaku Uchiha felt an immense threat and pressure.

"This is a kaleidoscope."

"That's right. After activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, two special eye techniques will reside in both eyes, as well as a third eye technique, Susanoo. Clan leader, would you like to know what my other two eye techniques are?"

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he saw Uchiha Fugaku nervously activate his Sharingan, and he chuckled before continuing.

"Whether you accept my proposal or not, it's a choice between divorcing your wife or being utterly disgraced. You know I can do it, Clan Head Fugaku."

"Why do you want me to divorce Mikoto?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked with a grim expression, "Divorce might be a very common thing for ordinary people, but for him, it's a disgrace, especially since he was forced into it."

"You're trying to humiliate me."

"Don't overthink it. It has nothing to do with you. Mikoto-san's abilities make me do this. She can handle my business affairs and be a great assistant, but with you, she can only be a spy!"

Uchiha Yoichi's Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, bringing immense pressure to Uchiha Fugaku.

He felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to even straighten his back.

"I don't want this assistant to leave, so I have no choice but to ask you to divorce her. If you don't agree, then wait until the clan meeting to discuss your situation; at that time, I will become the clan leader and involve all the clan members."

"you"

Fugaku Uchiha's face was ashen. Back when Yoichi Uchiha tried to kill him at the entrance of the security force, Sakumo Hatake stopped him, and the two became enemies because of it. However, those who witnessed that incident were mostly from Yoichi Uchiha's faction.

No one will stand up for him and testify!

However, he sent Mikoto to steal information and even hinted that she should go to the combat suit research factory. If all the clansmen found out, he would be despised by everyone in the clan.

"Okay, I agree to the divorce. As for what happens after the divorce..."

Uchiha Yoichi interrupted Fugaku's words, saying, "After the divorce, you two will be fine. I still want to pursue Mikoto-san so that she can use her full potential instead of just being a spy."

"asshole."

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but want to take action immediately; what man could tolerate such a thing!

But just as he was about to form hand seals, someone appeared beside him and grabbed Uchiha Fugaku's arm, stopping him from doing so.

"Calm down, Fugaku, this is clan territory!"

After Uchiha Yasuo finished speaking, he felt a sense of relief that he had stopped him in time. Fugaku may not have noticed, but he had been watching Uchiha Yoichi with his Sharingan the whole time. The astonishing chakra he exuded was definitely something that Uchiha Fugaku could not handle if it were to be unleashed.

He was standing quite far away, so he didn't hear what the two were saying, but it was enough to make Fugaku so angry.

"Oh, Yashiro-senpai is here too."

Uchiha Yoichi feigned surprise at having just learned the news, then said to Uchiha Fugaku, "These are my conditions. Will you agree or not?"

Fugaku Uchiha glared at Yoichi Uchiha with bloodshot eyes, his anger making him want to attack immediately, but Yatsuhoku Uchiha held him back tightly.

After a while, Fugaku Uchiha, his teeth clenched so tightly he could barely breathe, said, "Fine, I agree!"

After saying those words, Fugaku Uchiha felt as if a surge of energy had been drained from his body, but suddenly, he seemed to recall many things from the past.
