Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 173 Returning to the Village (Please Subscribe)

It had been about five months since he left the village. During that time, Uchiha Yang only returned once, initially using the Flying Thunder God Technique to check on things before heading back to the battlefield.

Upon their return, Uchiha Yoichi and his group of ninjas received a warm welcome, and the villagers all knew that the heroes who had defeated the Cloud Ninja invaders had returned.

Konoha will publicize the ninjas' achievements on the battlefield; heroes who have sacrificed for the village will not return in obscurity.

This is also one of the village's little ways of comforting the ninjas who have experienced war, at least letting them feel the warmth of the village.

Uchiha Yoichi also contributed to this effort, sending a message to the clan and instructing the newspapers and television stations controlled by the Uchiha clan to vigorously publicize the heroic deeds of himself, Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and the Uchiha clan ninjas on the battlefield.

There were other Konoha heroes among them, but they were only briefly mentioned. Compared to Uchiha Yoichi, the contributions of the other ninjas in this war seemed so insignificant.

Mitomon Homura also made the newspapers, but it was about the thirteenth daimyo's summons reprimanding and questioning him. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it vividly portrayed Mitomon Homura's incompetence after taking over battlefield command.

After enjoying the welcome, Uchiha Yoichi and the other ninjas of the Uchiha clan returned to their clan's territory.

As he approached his home, Uchiha Yoichi sensed a familiar chakra. When he arrived at the door, he saw everyone waiting to greet him.

Wearing a well-fitting and elegant outfit, Uchiha Mikoto possessed a gentle and dignified demeanor and exquisite beauty. Upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi, her usually calm face revealed an expression of excitement.

And then there's Uzumaki Mina, whose belly has grown quite large. She waved happily, as if she wanted to hold her belly and run towards Uchiha Yoichi.

Standing next to Mikoto and Mina are Uchiha Itachi and Yugito. It's likely that Mikoto was worried about leaving Itachi alone at home, so she brought him along as well.

When Yugito saw Uchiha Yoichi return, she still pouted, but she glanced at him a few more times.

"I'm back."

Uchiha Yang used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive at his doorstep, saving Uzumaki Mina from having to run over there.

When Mina Uzumaki saw Yoichi Uchiha appear before her, she excitedly hugged him, exclaiming, "Yoichi-sama!" She hadn't been away from Yoichi Uchiha for this long since the last war, especially now that she was pregnant.

"Be careful, Mina."

Uchiha Yang opened his arms and carefully hugged Uzumaki Mina. She was still so lively, just like she wasn't pregnant.

Mikoto, who was standing nearby, was extremely envious. She also wanted to hug Yoichi and get pregnant with Sasuke; however, Itachi was still there, so Mikoto could only hold back.

"Go inside first, Gates, you go back."

Uchiha Yangyi spoke to everyone and a bear. Gates roared and complained to Uchiha Yangyi, saying that it was sleeping soundly, but they insisted on waking it up to welcome its master back.

Upon entering, Uchiha Yoichi discovered that a great deal of delicious food had been prepared, and the table was large enough for everyone to sit down.

"Let's eat first, and then we can talk about other things."

Uchiha Yoichi saw that Uzumaki Mina seemed to have a lot to say, but he still spoke up, otherwise the meal would have lasted until evening.

The food on this table is something that very few families in the entire ninja world can afford. It mainly consists of magical mutton, along with other high-grade ingredients, and would cost around 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver.

After taking a few bites, Itachi Uchiha, sitting opposite Yoichi Uchiha, suddenly stopped eating and asked, "Clan Head, why is there a war?"

"Itachi".

Mikoto put down her chopsticks and said softly to him, "Let's talk about this after we finish eating."

"It's okay, Misaka."

Upon seeing Itachi's expression, Uchiha Yang guessed that he might be contemplating philosophy, and then asked, "Itachi, what are the hand seals for the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha shook his head. He only knew that the Uchiha clan primarily used fire-style ninjutsu, and their clan emblem was a fan representing flames.

But he was never even hearing the name of this advanced fire-style ninjutsu before.

"What about the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique?"

Itachi Uchiha shook his head again.

"Do you know how many countries there are in the ninja world, and what country is west of the Land of Demons?"

Itachi Uchiha shook his head again.

Next, Uchiha Yoichi asked him many more questions, but Uchiha Itachi couldn't answer any of them. Uzumaki Mina, who was standing to the side, felt that Uchiha Yoichi was making things difficult for Uchiha Itachi. Although she and Mikoto were at odds with each other, they had never involved a four-year-old child.

"Professor Yang, aren't these questions too difficult?"

"It's not difficult. Compared to the reasons for the Shinobi World War, these are just intermediate issues. You have to climb the stairs one step at a time. If you can climb three stairs in one go, it means you've grown taller or grown up."

Uchiha Yoichi said to Uchiha Itachi, "You know too little and think too much right now. If you want to know about the Shinobi World War, first take a trip through the Shinobi World and learn about all the countries there. Then you'll understand."

"Yes, I understand, Chieftain."

Itachi Uchiha nodded thoughtfully, then picked up his chopsticks again to eat.

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she had misunderstood Yoichi earlier.

Mikoto had seen the earnest teaching she had just received, and now her eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Uchiha Yoichi, as if they were overflowing with affection.

"Yang Yi, you must be tired from working out here. Have some of this; I made it myself."

"Mmm, it smells delicious. Thank you, Mikoto."

Mina, who was standing to the side, was a little unhappy when she saw this scene. It's just cooking, she didn't know how, otherwise her cooking would definitely be better than any of the dishes on the table.

After finishing their meal, Mikoto Uchiha told Itachi to go home first, as she had something to discuss with Yoichi Uchiha.

Seeing this, Yugito pouted and prepared to go back to her house. She didn't need to guess what was going to happen next. However, on her way back, Yugito suddenly saw Uchiha Yoichi extend his hand to her and make a slap gesture.

At first, Yugito was stunned and didn't know what it meant, but then she suddenly remembered that it meant five months of back massage service.

Four times a month, accumulating over five months, means that Yukito would have to wear white over-the-knee socks and stomp on his back twenty times.

Her face flushed red instantly, and then she glared at Uchiha Yangyi like an angry kitten before stomping back into the house.

However, not long after returning to the room, Yugito, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, then slowly walked to the door, her ears perked up like a cat's, and then pressed against the door.

After pressing her face against the door for a while, Yuki got up and lay back on the bed. Why was there no sound?

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

Uchiha Yoichi was naturally not as eager as Yukito thought, especially since Mina was pregnant.

It's been over five months now, and through examination, we've learned that she's carrying a girl.

Upon hearing that Mina was pregnant with a daughter, Uchiha Yang immediately thought of Uzumaki Karin, but his daughter certainly wouldn't be as pitiful as Karin.

In addition, Uchiha Yoichi asked Mikoto some questions about the clan.

War has a significant impact on business, especially when the Cloud Ninja were causing destruction within the Land of Fire. During that period, all businesses in the Land of Fire were affected.

The family business was even attacked by a Cloud Ninja squad. Fortunately, Uchiha Toshiki had two Edo Tensei bodies and family ninjas with him, which enabled him to kill the Cloud Ninja squad that happened to be there.

However, although there is some impact, it is not significant; at most, it will only result in making a little money.

Moreover, after the war ended, when ninja games exploded, Yuuto Uchiha even planned to create a version of the game based on the Third Shinobi World War, and he even prepared the promotional material, which was called: "Personally follow the heroes of Konoha to drive out the enemy!"

Upon hearing Mikoto's report, Uchiha Yoichi could only conclude that Uchiha Yuto was born for this job.

After finishing their business, Mikoto, her eyes glistening with tears, took Uchiha Yoichi's hand and said with slightly parted red lips, "Yoichi-kun."

Seeing this, Mina Uzumaki, not to be outdone, grabbed Uchiha Yoichi's arm and said with a pitiful face, "Yoichi-sama, your daughter hasn't seen you for five months."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto's lips twitched slightly, then she tried to soften her voice as she said, "Mina, your stomach isn't the right place to do anything else right now."

"Huh, Lady Tsunade isn't here. It seems I'm the best medical ninja in the village, right? Thanks for your concern, Mikoto~"

Why hasn't the relationship between the two improved at all?

Uchiha Yoichi waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Let's rest for today. The ninjas from the Land of Grass battlefield will be back tomorrow, and we'll definitely have to hold a meeting all day then."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi gave Mikoto a wink.

Mikoto is gentle by nature, and she was only angered by Mina earlier. Now, seeing Uchiha Yoichi's gaze, she had no choice but to back down.

The war in the Land of Grass also ended. The Kannabi Bridge was destroyed, and the logistical pressure on the Iwagakure village suddenly became unbearable. Unable to expand their gains before their existing supplies ran out, the Iwagakure village decided to withdraw from the war.

The Third Raikage also died mysteriously. Onoki wanted to continue the war with Konoha, but the Grass Village and Takigakure abandoned the idea.

They gained no advantage in the war, but suffered considerable losses; Takigakure withdrew from the battlefield, and Kusagakure was unwilling to continue attacking with the Iwagakure Alliance, even refusing to provide supplies.

The Iwagakure village was struggling alone, and not everyone in the village supported Onoki continuing the war. After much discussion, Onoki was persuaded by the Iwagakure leadership.

Before their supplies ran out, the Iwa ninja retreated to the Land of Earth. Thus, the war with the Iwa ninja ended, and after making some arrangements, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to Konoha.

When they return, they will probably elect a new Hokage, and it won't be long.

Uchiha Yoichi devised a ruthless plan against Mitokado Homura on the battlefield, causing Mitokado Homura to seriously lose credibility with the daimyo.

As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't fare well either. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo were all students of the Second Hokage, and Homura Mitokado often represented Hiruzen Sarutobi in negotiations.

Now that Mitokado Homura has lost the Daimyo's trust, and given that the Hokage will be held responsible for the losses in this war, abdication is his best option.

Next, Uchiha Yoichi can use the newspapers to build momentum in the village. He doesn't need to worry about the ninjas. Hatake Sakumo already has a good reputation, a 100% mission success rate, and is the White Fang of Konoha. There's no way to find fault with him.

All Uchiha Yoichi needs to do is have the newspapers mention it and make the public think that the Fourth Hokage is Hatake Sakumo. Spread the word first, and once it's widely known, everyone will subconsciously choose Hatake Sakumo when selecting Hokage.

Moreover, if the Fourth Hokage hadn't been Sakumo Hatake, it would definitely have caused a lot of dissatisfaction and questioning.

Uchiha Yoichi only needs to give the orders, and he will likely have a long period of rest afterward.

Next, Uchiha Yoichi went to the police station again, dealt with some matters there, and then visited Uchiha Kenji.

To relinquish power to him, Kenji Uchiha stepped down from his position as Second Elder, and his days became incredibly easy.

His only hope now is to see the Uchiha clan become the number one clan in the ninja world. However, Kenji Uchiha has a premonition that under the leadership of Yoichi Uchiha, this hope will soon be realized.
