Madara, let's change the world together!

"It's nothing, Minato just did pretty well."

"At this rate, he will be able to secure the position of Hokage sooner or later."

Kiyoshi shrugged and put the newspaper down.

He picked up the teacup with his left hand and wrapped his right arm around Tsunade's waist.

"What mischief are you up to now?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, her expression slightly angry.

She had also sensed the strange, almost imperceptible atmosphere in the village these past few days.

Moreover, after much thought, she felt that Kiyoi Gen wasn't giving Minato a chance or a test, but rather trying to escalate the conflict between Minato and other high-ranking officials in Konoha.

“Yuan, although I promised you I wouldn’t interfere in Konoha’s affairs, you shouldn’t cause too much trouble.”

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"

Kiyoi Gen approached gently, meeting Tsunade's gaze with his large, expressive eyes.

Tsunade said she had gotten used to this routine a few years ago.

When are we going back to Sunrise City?

"Cough cough."

We've been married for many years, and it's been a long time since we've seen Tsunade with a shy expression.

"Wait a little longer, I need to see how things go."

"Some big things might happen this year."

Tsunade looked at him suspiciously.

"I didn't really do anything."

Kiyoi Gen couldn't help but smile wryly. He had only discovered that Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru were planning to cause trouble again, so he wanted to wait and see if there was anything he could gain.

Moreover, we need to find a way to resolve the Uchiha issue.

"Alright, since you've already made that promise to me, I won't pursue it any further."

"You promised to spend time with me today, so let's take a gamble together."

Tsunade took out the dice and dice cup, a smile on her face.

She no longer gambles at casinos; she just lets the people around her indulge in the thrill.

"What are you gambling?"

Kiyoi Gen admired Tsunade's beautiful face.

"Of course it's what you like."

"You win. You can do whatever I say tonight."

"Conversely, if I win..."

Tsunade licked her lips.

"Then I'll do whatever you say."

Alright, alright, let's just treat tonight as a good time with my wife.

After all, he neglected Tsunade for a period of time in order to manage his time.

If the other party could agree to go together, that would save a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, Tsunade never agreed.

Naturally, Tsunade lost this gamble completely.

Kiyoshi Gen also stayed with her all night as she requested.

Chapter 240 Mikoto Wants to Betray

At the end of March in Konoha Year 48, Kushina and the others returned from their trip to Hatsuhi Castle, most of them having bought quite a few items.

After get off work, Minato listened to Kushina enthusiastically recount her experiences at Hatsuhi Castle, and even saw photos of various scenic spots in Hatsuhi Castle.

Residential houses, squares, Blessing Shrine, piers, Seaview Hill, and the Mansion of the Immortal.

Kushina and her companions spent twenty days touring both the outer and inner walls of the entire Hibiki Castle.

There are so many memories left behind.

"Watergate! Watergate! Look!"

"This is a new friend I made in Chu Ri City, Whirlpool Cloud Xi."

Kushina said very happily.

"She is the chief physician of the inner city hospital, and her medical ninjutsu is no less than that of Lady Tsunade."

The Uzumaki Clan?

Shuimen was quite surprised to find someone in Churi City who seemed to be living a very happy life.

That's really great.

After he steps down from his position as Hokage, he should take his wife and children to live there.

"And also! These are all gifts for you!"

Kushina then took out a large scroll and took out all the miscellaneous items inside.

Besides Kiyoi Gen and Raigami's complete works, there are also some miscellaneous books that Minato hasn't read.

"There are many books in Churi City. I only picked out a portion. I'll go there again when I have time in the future."

"Ok!"

Minato Namikaze's smile became even gentler.

Seeing his wife so happy, he felt all the pressure he had been under had vanished, and everything was worthwhile.

That day, Kakashi and the others returned to their homes. Sakumo Hatake remained quietly by Kakashi's side, waiting for the opportunity that Gen Kiyoi had mentioned.

Uchiha Mikoto was invited by Kiyoi Gen to the Relief Tea House, where he said he wanted to have a casual chat.

Wearing a plain blue dress and black stockings, Mikoto Uchiha was a little nervous.

Because it had been a long time since I had spent time alone with Kiyoshi Gen.

When the warm tea was pushed in front of her, her hands, which were resting on her thighs, relaxed slightly.

"Mikoto, why are you so nervous?"

"I just have some questions I want to ask you, just like a normal chat."

Qingjingyuan was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

"Ah, actually, there's something I also want to tell Brother Yuan."

Mikoto took a deep breath and said.

"Um, I want to leave Konoha and my clan."

"puff!"

Just as Kiyoshi was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his lips and throat, he was so surprised by those words that he exhaled, causing the tea in his cup to splash out.

"What did you say?!"

Mikoto noticed the water droplets on Kiyoi Gen's face and quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe them away.

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

Kiyoshi grabbed the handkerchief and started wiping himself.

Mikoto glanced at the fingers that had just touched Kiyoi Gen, rubbed them together briefly, and said nothing.

"I'm sorry, I was really surprised just now."

I'll wash this handkerchief and return it to you later.

Kiyoshi Gen casually wiped the splashed water off the table with a handkerchief, then folded it up and placed it aside.

Why did you suddenly have this idea?

Mikoto lowered her head, her expression calm.

"He just doesn't want to be a ninja in Konoha anymore, right?"

Ok?

Kiyoshi Gen sensed something was wrong.

"Mikoto, can you tell me the specific reason?"

"Although I may not be able to solve it, I promise that if it's something I can help with, I will definitely do so!"

Mikoto looked up, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I was ostracized by my tribe."

"They say I'm one of the strongest shinobi in the Uchiha clan, but I never contribute to the clan and am a traitor."

“My parents also advised me to stay in the clan's territory and raise the next generation for the family.”

Upon hearing this, Kiyoi Gen frowned, opened Mikoto's data panel, flipped to the experience section, and specifically looked at her experiences within the family.

As a result, he became angrier the more he looked at it.

Mikoto summarized her experience in a few words, but left some things unsaid.

For example, when she went to buy things, some Uchiha shop owners refused to sell to her.

Many people deliberately avoid her when she walks on the street;

I even heard a lot of gossip, one of which was—

He's 28 years old and still not married or had children, doesn't contribute to the family, and has no sense of gratitude whatsoever. He's a disgrace.

I go!

Kiyoshi Gen truly never expected that someone from the Uchiha clan could do something like this.
