Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 287 Minato's Succession

That morning.

The thin mist that had enveloped Konoha Village has dissipated.

Sunlight streamed through the golden clouds, casting its rays and illuminating the three otherwise dull and somber gray rock formations, making them bright and vibrant.

The treetops, rooftops, chimneys, and roads in the distant village seemed to be draped in an orange-yellow coat, giving the entire village a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

"I always thought you were the successor to the Will of Fire."

"Minato, from this day forward, I entrust the future of Konoha and the ninja world to you!"

The Third Hokage handed the straw hat in his hand to Minato Namikaze, who was standing in front of him, and felt that he had made the right choice.

Minato Namikaze was the best candidate in his mind to succeed the Fourth Hokage.

"I would give my life for this!"

"I will definitely not let down the three generations of masters, or anyone else's trust!"

After receiving the straw hat symbolizing his Hokage status from the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze solemnly and humbly recited his oath with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Toshiro mingled among the Jonin's group, watching as they placed the Hokage's hat on their heads and waved to the ninjas below the Hokage Building.

Especially when the other person turned around, the insignia of the Fourth Hokage behind him made Toshiro's lips twitch.

Only Minato would do something so awkward, flaunting his title directly on his back. What's the difference between that and having the word "idiot" written all over his head?

Won't it be incredibly embarrassing to go out like this?

However, these are not things he needs to worry about right now.

At this point in time, the other party probably doesn't have any real power at all, and can only rely on his disciple Kakashi and the Shadow Guard that he is slowly cultivating to exert his influence little by little.

Imagine having an emperor emeritus watching your every move at all times—just think about it, and you'll know that Toshiro's life isn't easy right now.

Let's wait until Minato Namikaze has truly overcome the Nine-Tails' ordeal before making any moves. With my own strength, I don't know if I could even make a difference if I intervened.

While pondering these random thoughts, Toshiro strode toward his current hideout, Konoha Prison.

"Chie, how's the preparation for the place I asked you to get going?"

As he walked, Toshiro began to ask about Uchiha Chie, who was also there to attend Minato Namikaze's inauguration ceremony.

"A relatively secluded empty room has been cleared out in the prison, but I don't know what the warden plans to use it for?"

Following behind Toshiro, Chie Uchiha looked at her superior with some curiosity. She didn't know what the new warden wanted her to do by clearing out empty rooms.

However, as a subordinate, she still carried out the other party's orders very well.

"More equipment will arrive in the next few days, and a specialist will come to install it. Please take good care of it."

What else can he do? With White Zetsu's cells in his possession, what Toshiro is trying to do recently is to turn these things into part of his own power.

However, he was also hesitant about whether or not he should transplant the other person's cells; this was indeed a question.

Although, according to the original work, Obito, who received White Zetsu cells, did not grow to resemble the First Hokage's face, we'll have to wait and see.

If it still grows out, and you're showing it off to someone, and they point to the extra face on your body and ask who it is, just thinking about it is a bit embarrassing.

"Should I try to improve my relationship with Orochimaru?"

He wasn't really good at biological experiments. Before his rebirth, he was quite good at coding as a programmer, but even though he had been studying biological experiments all his life, he still lacked confidence.

But it doesn't matter if I'm not good at it, isn't there Orochimaru, the research genius?

The fact that the other party would defect from Konoha in a few years made him hesitate.

If I get too entangled with the other party, I'll probably end up in a lot of trouble.

And I should probably start preparing my own kaleidoscope soon.

In his view, his current age is just right. If he awakens his Mangekyou Sharingan now, he shouldn't suffer the same fate as Itachi Uchiha, where he vomited blood and died due to the burden it brings.

Although the original work did not specify the exact cause of the illness, after using the Sharingan for so many years, Toshiro had a pretty good idea of ​​the specific reason for the illness.

Take Kakashi for example. As an elite Jonin, his physical abilities are definitely not bad, after all, he has been training since childhood and also knows the Eight Gates.

However, every time Obito used Kamui, he ended up in the hospital, often having to stay in bed for one or two weeks.

This is partly because he doesn't have the Uchiha bloodline and can't adapt to Obito's eye. On the other hand, it's also because the eye's pressure is too severe, making even an elite Jonin unable to withstand it.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, he had an advantage in terms of bloodline, but he was facing the oppression of a pair of eyes. If he didn't have a strong body, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Take Itachi for example. He awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 13, but by the time he was around 22, his body was already failing. This was partly due to his own reasons, but the strain of the Mangekyou Sharingan was still unavoidable.

"By the way, Chie, I heard that the clan chief's wife is pregnant?"

As they walked, Toshiro asked a strange question, which left the unprepared person stunned for a while.

"Yes! I just don't understand why the warden is so concerned about this kind of thing?"

Looking at her superior with a strange gaze, Uchiha Chie unconsciously distanced herself from him, watching his back with a wary expression.

At the same time, he secretly wondered if his new boss had some kind of special fetish.

I'd better keep my distance.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Konoha has recently experienced a baby boom, with not only Uchiha Mikoto, but also Uchiha Mika and her aunt giving birth one after another.

That's right, Uchiha Mika has already given birth to a boy, and her uncle has also given birth to a daughter.

If you calculate the time, he'll be in the same class as Neji and Tenten in the future.

As for Kushina Uzumaki, since she is already pregnant, it's not appropriate for me to continue visiting her for advice. Otherwise, if the Nine-Tails' rampage really breaks out, I'll be the prime suspect.
