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

Last time, it was because this boss took it upon himself to make decisions that he almost missed out on good tea.

Can everyone have exactly the same taste?

"Okay! Don't worry!" The boss quickly led the remaining girls out, closed the door, and went to find replacements.

The four girls who were left behind have already started smiling again, although they are still a little stiff, but it's not a big problem.

"Master Yakumi, what do you like..." Uchiha Shingen smiled and looked at Uchiha Yakumi, only to find that the other party's expression was... well, you know.

This puzzled him.

"Shingen..." Uchiha Yakumi seemed to be seriously considering his words, "Wouldn't using the Sharingan be a bit too much for something like this?"

What does it taste like? How can I tell if it's being squeezed out or squeezed in without using my Sharingan?

Besides, this move is still... um? ??

Uchiha Shingen looked at the dark, unfocused eyes of Tetsuka and the others beside him and fell into deep thought.

You three usually use your Sharingan the whole time, but today you're all acting like babies?

He turned back to his head and forced a smile: "It's faster this way..."

“That’s true…” Uchiha Yakumi nodded, somewhat sighing. “Oh dear, it’s my fault. I forgot that you just came back from the battlefield not long ago and you’re used to looking at everything with your Sharingan.”

He waved to the second girl on the left.

"Little Chihaya, don't be afraid, come sit here."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

The youngest one right off the bat? Such similar tastes? He picked this one precisely according to Yashiro's preferences…

Chapter Four: A Handsome Guy Arrives

After an impure night, Uchiha Shingen's new day still begins with embracing the first rays of morning sunlight.

He had drunk too much and was still a little dizzy, but that didn't stop him from getting up on time.

Money is important, alcohol is important, and girls are important, but none of these are as appealing as self-cultivation.

Otherwise, people will be looking at each other from the telephone poles in the future.

There are no tasks today, and I don't need to clock in at the department, which is great.

However, when he went out as usual to go to the training ground to use the equipment, he found that there were quite a few people who didn't go to work.

They were all heading towards the entrance to the clan's territory.

Uchiha Shingen wasn't interested in watching the spectacle; he glanced at it and continued towards the training ground.

When they arrived at the training ground, they were surprised to find it completely deserted, but also very happy.

No need to queue for equipment anymore, thumbs up!

Enjoying the blissful feeling of being able to use whatever one wants, Uchiha Shingen began his training.

However, his good fortune didn't last long. Before he could finish practicing one round of shuriken techniques, he heard footsteps approaching.

It wasn't just one person, it was a large group.

Uchiha Shingen stopped his training and looked towards the entrance of the training ground, and was shocked the next moment.

The clan chief led the way in skipping work?

Not only the clan leader, but also those who skipped work and those who didn't have to go to work, a huge, dark mass appeared at the entrance of the training ground.

However, the existence of that blond, spiky-haired guy explains everything.

The current clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, is demonstrating that he has other talents besides being a ninja—a tour guide.

"Lord Hokage, this is our clan's training ground. Everyone usually trains here... Hmm? Shingen?"

Fugaku Uchiha looked at the young man standing by the shooting range with great surprise.

He remembered this person's name, after all, he had performed quite well in the battle against the Mist Ninja.

But at this moment, it's quite speechless.

There was a notice that the new Hokage would be visiting the clan today. Since he chose the Uchiha clan as the first venue for his new business, the Uchiha clan should give him face and put on a good show.

Didn't you see the clan leader standing at the entrance of the clan territory waiting for someone before dawn?

This guy is really something, still in the training ground. What, is the Hokage not worthy of your greeting?

Even if these are what everyone really thinks, there's no need to make it so obvious!

Left with no other choice, Fugaku Uchiha made an angry expression.

Before he could even begin his performance, the new Hokage had already started to make his mark.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, don't be angry. Isn't it something to be envied by others to have such a hardworking young man in the family?"

With his azure eyes scrutinizing the bewildered Uchiha Shingen, the new Hokage revealed a very approachable smile, and then rattled off a long string of words.

"Your name is Shingen? I am Minato Namikaze. Nice to meet you. I've heard about your performance on the battlefield. It's rare to see an Uchiha who is proficient in multiple ninjutsu."

Uchiha Shingen didn't answer, not because he was impolite or didn't understand, but because he subconsciously thought of something else first.

Let the yellow flash penetrate deep into the tribe's territory? Aren't you afraid he'll leave a mark wherever he goes?

But he's already the Hokage, so it seems like I can't refuse?

“Indeed.” Fugaku Uchiha’s voice was a little low. “Shingen’s ideas are slightly different from those of his clansmen. He has a great interest in escaping techniques.”

His voice "reminded" Uchiha Shingen.

"Lord Hokage." He bowed respectfully.

"I'm sorry, clan leader, I didn't know beforehand that the Hokage was coming."

"It's alright, I just came to see everyone. After all, I don't know anything about being Hokage yet." Minato Namikaze seemed genuinely unconcerned.

Now that he's famous throughout the ninja world, he wouldn't care about such things.

Rather, he was more interested in the fact that an Uchiha was practicing Yang Release.

The former Jonin squad leader, known as the Yellow Flash, could single-handedly decide the outcome of a battle. Having grown to this level, Minato Namikaze was no longer a clueless newbie.

They know everything they need to know, from the history of the ninja world to the darkness within the village.

He has many interests, but also many embarrassing moments. For example, after taking office yesterday, he planned to confront Root, but he couldn't win the argument against Shimura Danzo at all. The Third Hokage didn't stand up for him, and he couldn't back down. He realized that he was a novice, which hurt him a lot.

But the previously discovered human experiments made him feel uneasy.

However, he was too inexperienced when he first took office. He only had the Jonin team to manage and had no influence in the major departments at the top level, so it would be difficult for him to make any significant achievements in the short term.

So he decided to change his perspective.

He was, after all, the Hokage, the nominal head of the village, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to visit various ninja clans at the beginning of his term.

The first stop was to visit the Uchiha clan, who had long been ostracized by the core of Konoha's power structure. This was not only reasonable but also quite fitting.

The recently concluded Third Shinobi World War proved that the Uchiha clan is loyal to the village.

Honestly, Minato Namikaze always felt that although the Uchiha were expressionless, had strange personalities, spoke in a sarcastic tone, and had a dark past, it was absurd that as one of the most important pillars of the Konoha Jonin, they had no say in the core group.

During the Third Shinobi World War, two outstanding figures emerged from Konoha: Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha.

The achievements and age of "Shisui the Instantaneous" have led many to question whether their own ninja life is just a figurehead.

At only 13 years old, he killed people on the battlefield like mowing grass. During the war, villages allowed their ninjas to run away when they saw him, and he received the same treatment as Minato Namikaze.

This can no longer be called genius; genius is something you only become a genius before you reach your full potential.

But this is the kind of person that everyone would genuinely think is a gentle and good person.

With the addition of the already deceased Obito Uchiha, Minato Namikaze was filled with anticipation for the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, he felt he had discovered a pattern: the more unconventional a member of the Uchiha clan was within the clan, the higher their acceptance of the Will of Fire.

In his eyes, Uchiha Shingen also met this condition. What Uchiha would be so bored as to practice Yang Release every day?

So now he was looking at Uchiha Shingen with great anticipation.

However, as the person involved, Uchiha Shingen felt a little uneasy under Minato Namikaze's gaze.

Although he felt that the other party probably meant no harm, Uchiha Shingen still felt uneasy, after all, this guy was really too strong, one man against a thousand.

"You flatter me, Hokage-sama." He replied rather insincerely, "This is purely a personal interest of mine."

Minato Namikaze seemed oblivious to Shingen Uchiha's discomfort. He acted like a longtime friend, asking with feigned curiosity, "I heard you copied the Kirigakure's bloodline limit with your Sharingan on the battlefield? Is that true?"

"Yes, it happened to be successful."

"Can I take a look? I'm just curious."

Having no other choice, Uchiha Shingen drew his katana and began to channel his chakra.

Visibly, a chill emanated from the blade, forming a thin layer of ice that then disintegrated and disappeared.

"Oh, so this is the Ice Release technique of the Snow Clan..."

Watching the ice shards disappear into the air, Minato Namikaze felt a sense of wonder and casually made a sarcastic remark about the Snow Clan, whom he had never met before.

As everyone knows, the Sharingan cannot copy bloodline limits. The fact that Uchiha Shingen was able to copy it successfully means that the Yuki clan is definitely a fraud. The so-called Ice Release is just a combination ninjutsu that can be used under certain conditions.

This was also the opinion of the vast majority of people in Konoha Village after they learned of this news, including the Uchiha clan.

But the Uchiha clan's penchant for commercial hype is nothing new; everyone's used to it, even they themselves.

Only Uchiha Shingen himself knew that the Snow Clan was not truly undeserving of its name.

Year after year, his Yang Release began to take effect. As it turned out, after the Senju and Uzumaki disappeared, the Uchiha bloodline and the Senju-style Yang Release were a perfect match in this world.

The path that could lead him to the summit is beginning to take shape.

Chapter 5 The Hokage Should Be Respected

The new Hokage didn't linger in the Uchiha clan's territory for too long, since both sides were there to do serious business.

Finally, Minato Namikaze arrived at the meeting room that the Uchiha had prepared in advance and had a cordial and friendly meeting with the Uchiha high-ranking officials, led by Fugaku Uchiha.

Because he was made an example of, Uchiha Shingen was not allowed to stay in the training ground to continue training. Moreover, as one of the members with the three-tomoe Sharingan, he was assigned to stand guard at the door of the meeting room.
