Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

After entering the house, the wooden figure took off its shoes, put on white socks that went over its knees, and walked inside.

After a morning of cultivation, she planned to take a shower and then change into some dry clothes; however, seeing Nohara Rin hesitating, Yugito knew that it was her first time visiting someone else's home and she had many concerns.

"I'll go call someone for you. Please wait here for a moment."

Afterwards, Yugito went upstairs. In her memory, Mina Uzumaki seemed to have become less active after becoming pregnant, unless someone came to see her.

A short while later, Mina Uzumaki was brought down from upstairs by Yugito.

Upon seeing Nohara Rin, Uzumaki Mina sized her up before smiling and asking, "Nohara Rin, I'll just call you Rin from now on. I'm Uchiha Mina. I'll be teaching you advanced medical ninjutsu, so you can call me Mina-sensei from now on."

"He's somewhat handsome, with good features, but probably not the type Yang Yi would like. He's not a threat."

After this thought flashed through her mind, Mina Uzumaki looked at Rin Nohara with even more affection.

"Yes, Ms. Mina, thank you for your help from now on."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin quickly bowed and said something. Before she could react, Uzumaki Mina, who was standing in front of her, pulled her hand and led her towards the reception room.

After calling out to Mina Uzumaki, Yugito went back to her room. She needed to take off the white stockings that went past her knees first. Thinking about this made Yugito furious. Under the coercion of that lecherous man, she seemed to have gradually gotten used to the white stockings that went past her knees.

However, these long socks are not very good for cultivation, and I sweated a lot in just one morning!

She wants to change!

Yukito made a decision in his heart, then opened the wardrobe and found that at least two-thirds of the socks in the compartment were white socks, including over-the-knee and knee-high socks.

the other side.

Mina asked Nohara Rin about her medical ninjutsu and surgical experience. After learning about it, she discovered that this girl who liked to stick patterns on her face had quite good medical ninjutsu skills.

He knows basic medical ninjutsu and has performed dozens of surgeries, so his skills and experience are quite good. With proper training, he could become a medical jonin.

"I have a general idea of ​​your skill level. Do you have any tasks to complete now?"

"Not yet, Mina-sensei. Our team is currently short-handed. We might have to wait until Kakashi becomes a Jonin before we can form a team."

"Your teammate is Kakashi, huh? Then come to my place every morning to train for three hours, and then go to Konoha Hospital for training in the afternoon. I'll teach you some advanced medical ninjutsu as soon as possible. By the way, medical ninjutsu can also be used in actual combat, so don't give up fighting just because of medical ninjutsu."

Mina Uzumaki gestured with her finger to Rin Nohara.

Hearing this, Nohara Rin's eyes lit up slightly. Eager to know what Uzumaki Mina had said last, she quickly asked, "Mina-sensei, how are medical ninjutsu used in battle?"

Mina Uzumaki thought for a moment, then said, "Um...did you bring any kunai?"

"I brought it!"

Nohara Rin took out a kunai and placed it on the table.

"Watch closely."

After speaking, Mina Uzumaki formed hand seals and then condensed a chakra scalpel on her right hand, with the chakra blade extending about ten centimeters from the tips of her four fingers.

She then picked up a kunai from the table and cut it in half with a chakra scalpel.

"This is just one application. In fact, the chakra scalpel is similar to the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan, but it is not as precise as the Gentle Fist in that it can press pressure points. The chakra scalpel can cut through meridians, organs, muscles, bones, and so on."

Mina Uzumaki smiled as she placed the kunai on the table and continued speaking to Rin Nohara, "Although we don't have Gentle Fist, becoming a medical ninja requires a great deal of control over the human body, so the fighting style of medical ninjas is actually similar to that of the Hyuga clan ninjas."

Nohara Rin nodded and said, "I see, I understand."

Chakra Scalpel is an A-rank medical ninjutsu. Although it is on the same level as Healing Palm Technique, its priority is lower than that of Healing Palm Technique. Only medical Jonin can master this ninjutsu.

"Alright, let's start by learning other medical ninjutsu. As for combat training for medical ninjas, I can't teach you right now. You can train on your own, or find someone else to train with when you have time."

"Yes, Ms. Mina."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin immediately nodded and said that although they had only spent a short time together, she felt that Mina-sensei was very kind to her, and she gradually developed respect for Uzumaki Mina.

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

Uchiha Yoichi also knew that Nohara Rin had come to his house to train, but he had some things to do recently, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Orochimaru sent a message to Uchiha Yoichi: Danzo had approached him, hoping he would run for the Fourth Hokage, and promised to give Orochimaru Danzo's support.

Orochimaru naturally didn't believe such words, but he also knew that his teacher planned to choose the next Hokage, and that the target was not him; this made Orochimaru slightly disappointed, even though he had guessed this answer long ago.

The reason why Sarutobi Shinnosuke was able to kill so many enemies with Wood Release on the battlefield of the Land of Grass was because of his help. Orochimaru never expected that his teacher would not even consider him.

However, Orochimaru wouldn't be foolish enough to believe Danzo's promises, especially since Danzo's promises were far less reliable than those of Uchiha Yoichi, whose power stemmed from the Anbu.

After passing on this message to Uchiha Yoichi, Orochimaru continued his research. He had witnessed too much death on the battlefield, especially the destructive power of the three tailed beast jinchūriki, which gave rise to a feeling of immortality.

Furthermore, in order to explore all the truths of the world, a long lifespan is essential. Therefore, in addition to researching forbidden techniques, Orochimaru also began to research the art of immortality.

Uchiha Yoichi was unaware of Orochimaru's thoughts. Orochimaru only told him about the Hokage selection and that he had already notified close Jonin ninja who would join Orochimaru in making the choice.

However, Uchiha Yoichi felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden selection was indeed a bit too hasty. If it had been delayed for a few more months, the Uchiha clan would have gained at least five more Jonin.

These two wars benefited from the Sage Seal and Ninja Battle Suit popularized by Uchiha Yoichi, which greatly improved the survival rate of Uchiha clan ninjas on the battlefield and enabled them to complete many difficult missions.

Five people have enough merits from their missions to apply for and pass the Jonin Exams.

If the Hokage selection had been delayed, the Uchiha clan would have had significantly more influence in the village.

However, that was enough for now. After learning this news, Uchiha Yoichi instructed the guards to contact neutral civilian Jonin and ninja clans that were on good terms with the Uchiha.

In the past year, the reputation of the security force has been completely reversed by the rules established by Uchiha Yoichi. In addition, many Uchiha clan members are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Those who are good at making connections have one or two friends, and those who have Jonin friends have all gone to cultivate those connections.

Yuhi's house.

When Kurenai opened the door and saw Uchiha Yoichi standing there, a smile immediately appeared on the pretty young girl's face as she asked, "Yoichi-sensei, did you come to see me?"

"You've come to see your father. Is he home?"

"Hmph, at home!"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai's pretty face immediately turned unhappy. She snorted coldly, but still stepped aside to welcome Uchiha Yoichi in.

After calling her father, who was resting, Yuhi Kurenai went to make tea.

"I apologize for disturbing you while you are resting, Jonin Yuhi."

Yuhi Maku said with a smile, "Not at all. I was planning to thank you, Chief Yang, in a while. If it weren't for the special ninja outfit you gave my daughter, she probably would have ended up in the hospital due to negligence."

After the production capacity of ninja outfits increased, Uchiha Yoichi gave his share to his three students. It was because of the ninja outfits that the three of them were able to return to the village safely.

Otherwise, given the intensity of the fighting on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, even more than a dozen Jonin would have died, and Chunin and Genin would have been dying like mowing grass.

"Clan Chief Yang, what brings you here today?"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yuhi Shinku sent her away to buy tea and snacks, and then asked Uchiha Yoichi why he had come to see him.

Uchiha Yoichi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to Yuhi Shinku about the upcoming selection of the Fourth Hokage. He hoped that Yuhi Shinku could support Hatake Sakumo, and it would be even better if she could use his connections.

Kurenai Yuhi also serves as a training instructor for chunin and genin in the village. Over the years, many civilian jonin have also received his training, and his hidden network of connections in Konoha is quite strong.

After hearing this, Yuhi Shinku pondered for a moment and readily agreed to Uchiha Yoichi's request, promising to visit some Jonin he knew and persuade them as well.

He didn't have any opinion on who should become Hokage. Hatake Sakumo was renowned, and as a ninja of the same era, Yuhi Shinku greatly admired such a powerful ninja as Hatake Sakumo.

Moreover, her daughter was Uchiha Yoichi's student, and after graduation, she received so much care from Uchiha Yoichi. In addition, there was this ninja combat suit with strong protective capabilities. Yuhi Shinku couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi had agreed, Uchiha Yoichi had achieved his goal. After chatting for a while and talking about Kurenai Yuhi's situation, he prepared to leave.

However, just as she stepped out the door, she bumped into Kurenai Yuhi, who was returning from buying snacks.

"Teacher Yangyi, are you leaving already? So soon?"

"Well, I have other things to do. Just give me the snacks, don't waste them."

Uchiha Yoichi was in a good mood, so he smiled and took the snacks from Kurenai Yuhi's hands. Since they were for him, he said, "Kuren, don't forget to train hard after the war ends. Your father and I have high expectations for you. You should be able to become a Jonin at fourteen, right?"

"I feel like I could apply to become a Jonin right now!"

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "You don't need to compare yourself to Kakashi. Your genjutsu is your strength, but you need to improve in other areas. Take on more missions with Rimi and Kazuhiko to gain experience. When I become the Fifth Hokage, the three of you will be my Shadow Guard."

"I see."

When Kurenai Yuhi heard that Uchiha Yoichi did not recommend that she apply for the Jonin Exams, she was a little disappointed, but when she heard the last sentence, her pretty face lit up with a happy smile.

Although Uchiha's actions were discreet, they were still noticed by the Anbu ninjas. The Anbu ninjas did not expect that Uchiha's visit to other ninjas was for the selection of the Fourth Hokage, but simply reported the situation to them.

However, when Hiruzen Sarutobi learned of the Uchiha clan's unusual behavior and recalled previous events, he immediately realized that this was very likely the work of the Uchiha.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't have imagined how the Uchiha clan knew he was going to choose the Fourth Hokage soon.

"We can't delay any longer. We must elect a Fourth Hokage as soon as possible. The Hokage position absolutely cannot fall into the hands of Uchiha Yoichi."

What made Hiruzen Sarutobi somewhat fortunate was that although Minato's battle achievements were far inferior to those of Yoichi Uchiha, he was well-liked and had the support of the three of them, so he should have a higher probability of becoming Hokage than Yoichi Uchiha.

"Yan and Koharu are almost done with their tasks, so let's hold the Hokage selection in three days."

Hiruzen Sarutobi made up his mind, then summoned an ANBU member and instructed him to deliver two identical messages to Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, thus informing the two of them.

The Hokage election process begins with determining the candidates, followed by voting by the Jonin, and finally, the vote is given to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Based on the previous election of the Third Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will choose the candidate with the most votes.

Moreover, with Hiruzen Sarutobi and two other advisors providing support this time, there's definitely no chance of anything going wrong.

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

That day, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly saw the Jonin summoning signal.

Thinking that nothing major had happened in the village recently, he guessed that it must be related to the Hokage selection, so he went out and left.

Before leaving, seeing that Mina Uzumaki was still teaching Rin Nohara, he told her that he was going out.

Upon hearing this, Mina waved happily to indicate that she understood, and then showed a happy expression like a young girl.

After finishing her ninjutsu training, Nohara Rin saw Uzumaki Mina's smiling face and asked enviously, "Mina-sensei, you're so happy now."

"Hehe, I was just lucky to run into Master Yang!"

Mina Uzumaki cupped her face and smiled contentedly. She was so glad she had shown her abilities back then, otherwise she wouldn't be so happy today.

After Uchiha Yang came out, he happened to run into a Jonin from his clan who was waiting for him, and they went to the Hokage Building together.

The large clan only has a few dozen Jonin positions, and many others who have the strength of Jonin are unable to apply for the Jonin exam, which really angers many clan members.

Once a new Hokage is appointed, this situation will change, and the number of Jonin in the Uchiha clan will at least double.

On the way, Uchiha Yoichi ran into Orochimaru and greeted him, "Orochimaru-senpai."

"Yoichi-kun."

Orochimaru naturally moved closer and said to Uchiha Yoichi in a slightly lower voice, "After the meeting, I'd like to discuss something with you; today's events should go as Yoichi-kun expects."

Uchiha Yang nodded and said, "Of course you're welcome. I will definitely fulfill my promise to Orochimaru-senpai afterward."

Please vote for me!
