Madara, let's change the world together!

From then on, Yekura and Yakushi Nonou became neighbors and classmates.

However, Yekura's feelings towards this neighbor in life and classmate in study are quite complicated.

She always had the illusion that the other person wanted to proselytize to her.

Occasionally, Kiyoi Gen would send shadow clones to visit the two of them, chatting or enjoying life together.

He also informed both of Yokura's disciple, Maki, and of the news about Yakushi Kabuto, whom Nonou was interested in.

People are more motivated to live when they have something to care about.

And so, Kiyoi Gen calculated the time, instructed Aino to keep an eye on Danzo's movements, and prepared to have Nonou provide Danzo with information at the appropriate moment.

During this waiting period, Konoha continued to operate as usual.

Mikoto Uchiha became the branch president of the Konoha Merchant Guild and no longer lived in the clan's territory. She would only occasionally go back to see her parents and then bump into Shisui Uchiha on the street, where they would nod and greet each other.

Besides that, he leaves a shadow clone at the Chamber of Commerce, while his main body goes to the moon for training via the Flying Thunder God Formation and spatial channels.

Or perhaps you could go and chat with Kiyoi Ai or Kiyoi Gen.

If you encounter Teacher Ban, and he happens to be interested in training, then...

The strong Mikoto will never cry!

Mikoto really loves this kind of ordinary, peaceful, yet slightly surprising daily life.

The atmosphere among colleagues is also excellent. Everyone has a firm will and is determined to follow Kiyoshi Gen to the death, striving to achieve their common ideals.

In this kind of atmosphere, you can't help but want to work hard.

The happy life continued until the end of April.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had Obito deliver a message to Mikoto.

He hoped that Mikoto, who had some prestige within the Uchiha clan, could pass on a message to Fugaku Uchiha, asking him to take half a day for a private conversation at the Konoha House's commercial headquarters.

Some prestige

Mikoto felt that the statement was somewhat sarcastic, but Minato certainly didn't mean it that way.

The other party was unaware of her situation within the family and thought that as long as she activated the three-tomoe jade, she could become the core of power.

Obito was also proven to have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, but wasn't he also suspected by many Uchiha clan members because he was the Hokage's disciple and close to the Hokage?

However, she is indeed better suited to be a middleman.

So Mikoto took some time to return to her clan's territory and met with her acquaintance, Uchiha Fugaku.

When we entered their house, Fugaku Uchiha was feeding the fish in the pond in the courtyard.

"I understand. Let's set the time for 3 PM three days from now."

"I will be there on time."

Mikoto nodded.

She felt neither ill will nor goodwill toward the patriarch who was so devoted to the family.

Because she understood that as the clan head, Fugaku could suppress the rumors in the family for a while, but not forever.

Not everyone has the abilities and prestige of Genji; Fugaku Uchiha didn't.

"Dad, I'm home."

A child's voice came from the other end, and Mikoto immediately realized that it was Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi, who was not yet five years old.

I heard that the other person just entered the ninja academy and has shown very strong talent.

Are there any guests?

Itachi, whose temperament had matured somewhat, saw his father and Uchiha Mikoto by the pond in the yard.

'It's the Mikoto-senpai that Shisui mentioned.'

"Lord Fugaku, farewell."

Mikoto bowed slightly, smiled at Itachi Uchiha who was not far away, and then disappeared into the courtyard.

'What a gentle person.'

Itachi couldn't help but think of it.

Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha was contemplating what to do on the day he met the Fourth Hokage.

It would be great if we could reach a consensus.

The appointed time has arrived.

Minato Namikaze secretly arrived at the Konoha clan's commercial headquarters using the Flying Thunder God Kunai, while Fugaku Uchiha also secretly arrived at the same place after leaving a shadow clone within the clan.

In a private meeting room prepared by Mikoto, the two met privately for the first time.

Although they had met several times at the Jonin meetings, they had never spoken.

The two got straight to the point during their meeting.

The discussion revolved around how the village and the Uchiha clan should get along in the future.

Minato offered to change the Uchiha's current situation and to provide opportunities for the Uchiha clan to integrate into the village.

Fugaku, on the other hand, said he would send some moderate Uchiha to carry out the mission, and restrain the radicals to prevent them from clashing with the villagers and changing the village's external image.

This was just an attempt by the two of them to confirm each other's attitudes.

Trust needs to be built slowly. If the Uchiha clan cannot change, then even if Minato has the intention to help, they cannot get rid of the preconceived notions in the eyes of others.

In short, when Minato learned that the Uchiha clan leader intended to reform the Uchiha clan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Once both parties have seen each other's changes, the next collaboration will be smoother and deeper.

The two sides also discussed Obito Uchiha, the boy who dreamed of becoming Hokage.

Both of them were tacitly prepared to place their bets on him.

Obito was Minato's disciple, which made up for the shortcomings of being an Uchiha in terms of status.

As for the Uchiha clan, if Obito had become the Fifth Hokage, even if the radical faction of the Uchiha clan had gossiped, they would have recognized Obito's bloodline and reduced their hostility towards the Hokage lineage.

By then, the Uchiha clan will be able to get closer to the center of power.

Perhaps, they might even produce someone who simultaneously serves as both the Uchiha clan leader and the Hokage.

At that time, we can take advantage of the Uchiha's pride and give them important responsibilities, so that the Uchiha can truly integrate into Konoha and become a core clan.

With the policy set, all that's left is to take action.

So when he got back, Fugaku Uchiha summoned Obito.

"Obito, you are a genius of the Uchiha clan. I'll leave it to you to teach Itachi."

Ok?

Obito was a little confused; it was the first time someone had ever called him a genius.

However, to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of sixteen is indeed a genius within the Uchiha clan.

Looking at the well-behaved young Itachi, Obito scratched his head, remembering Minato's instructions.

Well, I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Thus, Obito became Itachi Uchiha's sparring partner.

After that, he naturally got to know Shisui, who was the undisputed number one genius of the Uchiha clan.

Time passed slowly, and it arrived in July of Konoha Year 48.

In the Land of Water, Kiyoi Gen once again took some time to visit Yakushi Nonou.

"Lord Yuan, it's been a while."

Wearing square-rimmed glasses and a blue and white dress, Nono opened the door.

Kiyoi Gen immediately spotted Yekura, who was also wearing a dress, in the living room.

That's really rare.

"I came here because I discovered that members of the Root organization have been loitering outside the Land of Water, probably waiting for your intelligence."

“Perfect timing, it’s time to give this to Danzo.”

Chapter 247 Information from Kirigakure

"I understand. What information do you need to deliver?"

Nonou looked serious, ready to listen attentively.

"Let's sit down and talk. I just happened to come and see you."

Upon hearing this voice, Hakura's eyebrows twitched as she sat at the small table enjoying the cake made by Nono.

"Yakura, at least say hello when you see me."

Kiyoshi Gen's tone was somewhat aggrieved.

"I'm already annoyed by seeing you every day."

Hmm? He doesn't come every day.

Nono explained.

"That's why Yekura said that, because your name often appears in the textbooks."

"Actually, she admires you a lot."

Ye Cang choked up, speechless.

She couldn't refute that statement.

Anyone who knows what Kiyoi Gen has done cannot deny his extraordinary abilities.

Admiration became a matter of course.

"Shouldn't I leave?"

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal."
