I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

After skillfully brewing a pot of good tea in his familiar shop, he was pleased that his technique remained as refined as ever.

It's great that the quality of life hasn't declined.

However, he still knew that Fugaku Uchiha had been going to the Hokage Building quite frequently lately.

That said, Minato Namikaze is starting to look more and more like a Hokage.

The victory in the war against Kumogakure further solidified his prestige and status.

The reconstruction of the darker areas also seems to have been quite effective during this period.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze's overtime hours have noticeably decreased.

After returning to the village, Uchiha Shingen discovered another change: Uchiha Mikoto had a new hobby, and liked to urge Uchiha Fugaku to take the whole family to visit the Hokage's house.

They call it—children should cultivate their feelings from a young age.

I must say, this is actually a good thing.

Perhaps it was the effect of his frequent visits to other people's homes that the matter of Uchiha Shingen's job transfer came to a conclusion sooner than he had expected.

Fugaku Uchiha also specifically sought him out for a discussion.

Shingen Uchiha had no objection to the result.

He will leave the police department and join the Jonin class.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Minato Namikaze's Invitation

After Tobirama Senju established the basic organizational structure of Konoha, the Jonin team became a very special military unit.

In an era when other ninja villages were still nominally ninja villages but in reality ninja clan alliances, Tobirama Senju, who pioneered the establishment of ninja academies, was well aware of the impact of his actions and implemented corresponding supporting measures.

First, he appointed Senju Muzu as acting principal, whom he felt was the most reliable. Second, he immediately established the Jonin Class.

The official function of this organization is to flexibly allocate the village's Jonin resources, but its fundamental function is to reduce the barriers between different ninja clans and, in the future, between ninja clans and civilian Jonin.

By the way, the first class leader of the Konoha Jonin Team was Tobirama Senju himself.

This would be a sunny place, a place that brings people closer together, and in Tobirama Senju's view, it would be the most suitable place for Senju Muzu.

Although he was annoyed by the prostitutes, he still hoped that Senju Wuzu could live like a human being. So he refused Senju Wuzu's self-recommendation to join the Anbu without hesitation, forcibly pulled the guy into the Jonin class, and made him the acting principal of the Ninja Academy.

Having children as companions can help maintain a more normal mindset.

But Tobirama Senju guessed the process but not the ending. He really didn't expect that the later Tobirama Senju would spend his days surrounded by women.

They actually dared to trick him into going on a blind date? And with an Uchiha clan member no less?

Did you think he wouldn't beat people up after becoming Hokage?

In short, the Jonin are a place where darkness is not allowed to take root, and they are the "true form" of Konoha Village.

The Anbu are essentially the Hokage's henchmen, but the Jonin are Konoha itself.

From the time of Tobirama Senju to the era of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage Building strictly guarded this area, and there wasn't a single Uchiha in the Jonin teams. The system effectively restricted the Uchiha to the police department.

Without the connections and support of the Jonin, competing for Hokage is naturally just empty talk.

This is also the focus of Minato Namikaze's reforms, and his confidence is naturally based on his extremely high popularity and 100% support rate in the Jonin class.

To put it dramatically, in the eyes of the Jonin in the Jonin squad, Minato Namikaze's primary identity was that of the squad leader, and only secondarily that of the Hokage.

Because of this confidence, Minato Namikaze had the idea of ​​fundamentally resolving the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage Building. However, at the beginning of his reign, this idea was difficult to implement.

However, after the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Shimura Danzo case, and the Kumogakure War, Minato Namikaze's authority as Hokage was firmly established, and the number of young faces in his advisory team gradually increased. Supporters of conservative policies began to be overwhelmed and replaced by young people who were full of expectations for the new era.

The two advisors remained steadfast in their positions, and no one could shake their status. However, they rarely directly opposed the Hokage's decisions. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had the ability to do so, lost interest in political activities after Danzo Shimura's death, but became very interested in his daily life after retirement.

The time has finally come for a full-scale rollout of reforms.

Under these circumstances, Uchiha Shingen's organizational structure changed naturally, and he went from being a member of the police department to a member of the Jonin team.

He became the first Uchiha to join the Jonin team.

It is foreseeable that Uchiha Shisui, who joined the Anbu earlier, will become the second.

Under the leadership of Minato Namikaze, the Anbu is currently downsizing, and its future work will focus on intelligence gathering.

The original Root members, those engaged in espionage, were incorporated into the Anbu, while the combat units were reorganized into special operations squads, with missions assigned by the Hokage and organized by the Jonin squads.

Uniting the people and ensuring that all actions taken in the name of the village are handled according to proper procedures, eliminating factors that could cause distrust among ninjas from the same village, was the focus of Minato Namikaze's reforms.

This is a Hokage who embodies the spirit of benevolent rule.

This also suited Uchiha Shingen's taste perfectly.

So when he received Minato Namikaze's dinner invitation, he happily went.

Oh, Fugaku Uchiha's family also received an invitation.

These two families are visiting each other more and more frequently these days, and it hasn't bothered anyone else. After all, it's common knowledge that Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha have been best friends since their school days.

As for Fugaku Uchiha, although he was heavily criticized by Naruto fans on Earth, he was actually quite popular in Konoha. Once upon a time, he was a hero on the battlefield and received recognition from many of his comrades.

When I saw Kushina Uzumaki again, the Hokage's wife was cooking in the kitchen.

When Minato Namikaze opened the door, he immediately resembled an old woman.

"Oh, you've finally arrived! Quick, give me a hand!" The Fourth Hokage said in a flustered manner, "The diapers are on the sofa, I'll go get them."

Minato Namikaze, a new father, had absolutely no idea how to take care of a child.

The Asura cub had just peed all over him and was still full of energy, wriggling around in his arms.

Thus, the Indra cub held in Uchiha Mikoto's arms sensed the provocation from its "arch-enemy" and began to move around restlessly in a defiant manner.

It has the air of "If you dare to let me off the hook, I'll drop a bomb."

Fugaku Uchiha remained expressionless and extended his hand towards his wife.

"Mikoto, help Minato, I'll carry Sasuke."

Changing your own child's diaper is one thing, but changing someone else's husband's clothes that have been urinated on is another.

This is not the behavior expected of a mature, expressionless Uchiha.

This is the information that Uchiha Shingen received from the body language of the expressionless clan leader.

He didn't shy away from it; it was just boy's urine.

It's nowhere near as good as when he played through the game for the first time. During his first playthrough, he even did battlefield deliveries.

He grabbed Naruto from Minato's arms and rushed into the house, where he saw unopened new diapers and cleaning supplies such as rags on the sofa.

In short, it's about speed; in two words, it's about proficiency.

After finishing, he threw the old diaper into the diaper bin next to him, then went to wash his hands. When he came out, he saw that Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha still had shocked expressions on their faces.

“I knew Shingen would be a good husband.” Mikoto Uchiha’s voice was full of pride.

After saying that, she glanced at her husband.

So weak...

"Lord Hokage, how long has it been? Why are you still acting like a novice?" Uchiha Shingen was puzzled. Minato Namikaze's performance was far beyond that of a novice.

This is a series of products that are exceptionally good even for beginners who are naturally clumsy!

"Ah... actually, I've been so busy lately, so..." Minato Namikaze was a little dumbfounded, "Shingen, how come you're so skilled?"

“You can do it with your hands.” Uchiha Shingen wiped his hands clean, his expression unchanged. “Seriously, you need to practice. Although men are supposed to be the breadwinners, Kushina-nee isn’t exactly a full-time housewife. You need to take on more responsibility.”

"Dinner's ready!" Kushina Uzumaki's energetic voice rang out from the kitchen.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Were they still alive?

Hearing his wife's call, Minato Namikaze immediately snapped out of his frustration at being outmatched in childcare. After handing Naruto over to Mikoto Uchiha, he rushed into the kitchen.

"Kushina has finally made it through the tough times," Mikoto Uchiha sighed, watching the couple busy in the kitchen.

"It is indeed quite domestic," Uchiha Shingen nodded, expressing his agreement, "but the skills are extremely trash."

This made Mikoto Uchiha laugh.

“You can practice,” she said, then looked at Fugaku. “Don’t you agree?”

Uchiha Fugaku: "..."

He felt that he had been subtly criticized for no reason.

He has served as the clan chief and the police minister for a long time, and there is one skill he is very proficient in.

"Shingen, how are you feeling since returning to the village?"

"That's great, we can eat and drink whatever we want," said Uchiha Shingen. "The Jonin class doesn't have to go to work, so we're very free every day."

He felt very comfortable in Konoha Village now.

Originally, this is what Konoha Village was like.

"That's good... as long as no one says anything." Fugaku Uchiha nodded.

"Alright, let's not talk about work today." Uchiha Mikoto teased the two little ones with a smile. "Look how good they are to each other."

The two Uchiha men looked over.

The two little ones seemed to be having a lot of fun, climbing all over the sofa.

They were pulling each other's feet.

They were very interested in chasing each other.

At that moment, the kitchen curtain was lifted, and Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki came out carrying dishes.

Minato Namikaze goes without saying, and Kushina Uzumaki witnessed the destruction of her village when she was young and lived a life of hardship, so of course she wouldn't have any devilish cooking.

The couple did not change their lifestyle despite becoming the number one couple in Konoha.

Aside from moving to a different house, their daily lives are no different from those of the other villagers.

There's no way to change houses. Konoha provided the Hokage with a company-provided apartment, not far from the Hokage Building. Once you become Hokage, you have to live here, not to highlight your status, but to make it as convenient as possible for your work.

Becoming Hokage means you won't have much personal space; everything will revolve around your job.
