That's good too; we should worry about inequality rather than scarcity.

If one child confesses while the other does not, problems are bound to arise.

……

downstairs.

Fugaku carried a box of carefully prepared chicken soup, which contained many precious ingredients, with great anticipation.

It's perfect for women in their postpartum period; it will have excellent results.

"Please stop."

An undercover agent responsible for security stopped Fugaku.

"The Hokage has given the order that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to go up."

"I am the head of the Uchiha clan. Can't I even care about my clansmen?"

"No."

The ANBU ninja refused righteously.

He works for the Hokage, not for the head of the Uchiha clan.

Once he's in there, his future is over.

"Would it be convenient for you to help me carry my things upstairs?"

Fugaku changed his approach, thinking that as long as Mikoto could recover her health, that would be enough.

Because he was asking for a favor, Fugaku spoke very tactfully.

"No."

The ANBU ninja shook his head again.

What if I get food poisoning?

The Hokage and the woman from the Uchiha clan at the top clearly have a close relationship.

As for what their relationship actually is, that's not something they can speculate on.

Even if you know something, you have to pretend you don't.

The Hokage's conduct is a matter that the Konoha leadership needs to consider.

They are tools for carrying out tasks; all that's needed is to adhere to this concept.

"..."

Fugaku clenched his fist so tightly he almost broke the rope holding the food container.

He looked up at the direction of the stairwell, thinking about many, many things.

For the first time, Fugaku felt regret.

This is what is called power.

He shouldn't have been so low-key and hidden himself in the first place.

This, on the contrary, brought Kiyoshi a great deal of prestige and achievements, ultimately leading him to become Hokage.

If he had chosen the same path as Kiyoshi at the moment he awakened his kaleidoscope, would the future have been different?

Fugaku walked out with his head down.

Known as "Fugaku with Fierce Eyes," his eyes had never looked so dark before.

"Lord Fugaku."

Just as they were about to enter the Uchiha settlement, Shisui called out to Fugaku.

"Shisui."

Fugaku looked at Shisui.

The relevant intelligence came to mind.

Uchiha Shisui was a descendant of Uchiha Kagami. He was exceptionally talented and made a name for himself at a young age as "Shisui of the Body Flicker".

He pioneered the feat of integrating Sharingan genjutsu into the "Body Flicker Technique," making it difficult for enemies to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Unfortunately, his father lost a leg in a previous battle, an injury that left him bedridden and still unable to get out of bed.

Zhi Shui lives with only his parents, and they support the family through his work.

His ability to make a name for himself is inseparable from the numerous tasks that Zhi Shui completed to cover medical expenses.

Can I get an advance on my father's money?

Water-stopping channel.

His father's health is deteriorating.

"no problem."

Fugaku nodded.

Shisui is a genius; in other words, he is the pillar supporting his clan.

The clan provides some extra subsidies to the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, but not much.

In cases like stopping the water flow, you can give more.

"Thank you."

Zhi Shui bowed.

After saying goodbye to Fugaku, he planned to go find the Hokage.

Many recent events have left Zhishui feeling confused.

It should have been a joyous occasion for the clan to produce a Hokage, but Shisui noticed that the clan members were becoming increasingly arrogant.

Devoted to the organization, devoted to the people, devoted to the name...

This is a terrible thing—limiting oneself to one's own performance and restricting one's "capacity."

And their arrogant and prejudiced belief that the Uchiha clan is inherently superior... Foolish behavior!

This disappointed Zhi Shui.

He wanted to ask Kiyoshi what exactly "capacity" meant.

Unfortunately, Shisui's attempt was unsuccessful; he did not encounter Kiyoshi at Kiyoshi's house.

……

Night falls.

Minato Namikaze has left, and as the second leader of Root, he not only needs to handle Root affairs but also share Kiyoshi's political responsibilities.

Therefore, he is busy every day like a spinning top and needs to use the "Shadow Clone Technique" to help deal with things.

Kiyoshi and Kushina were the last to leave. After letting Mikoto rest, Kiyoshi and Kushina walked down the empty corridor.

Who is the father of Misaka's child?

Kushina was very curious.

"You'll find out soon enough, and it might surprise you."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

The child's father, isn't he both near and far?

"We can only wait."

Kushina nodded.

She's reached the age where she should have children.

"Kiyoshi...can kissing really cause pregnancy?"

Kushina voiced her doubts.

These were all taught at the Ninja Academy, but she focused most of her energy on sealing techniques, which was her true mission.

"No, that won't happen."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Some people genuinely lack common sense in this area.

Kushina was exactly that kind of carefree woman.

Furthermore, due to the fact that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was always kept in secret, she would not be exposed to anything bad.

When the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was revealed, he was actually active as a hero in the Third Shinobi World War, so naturally no one would gossip about him.

Kushina, are you lonely?

Kiyoshi looked at Kushina.

Kushina was still wearing her usual white coat, with a pair of short chainmail shorts on her lower body, exposing her long, shapely, and fair legs to the air. Paired with knee-high boots, she looked both heroic and charming.

"what?"

Kushina didn't understand Kiyoshi's meaning.

"Besides you, I also know people from the Uzumaki clan."

Kiyoshi said.

Nagato and Uzumaki Karin are both members of the Uzumaki clan.

Including the upcoming meeting with Uzumaki Enoka, Kiyoshi now knows three members of the Uzumaki clan.

"!"

Kushina's eyes widened, and her pupils brightened.

Besides her, Kiyoshi also found other members of his clan.

"Should we go? Perhaps you could persuade her to return to Konoha with us."

Kiyoshi said.

He can try to bring back both swirling rosewood and swirling nectarine.

As the acting Hokage, I do have this little bit of power.

"it is good!"

Kushina answered almost without hesitation.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, besides Mito, she only saw herself among the red-haired people.

So when I was a child, I was discriminated against because of my red hair.

She would be very happy to see other members of her tribe.

"Then come with me in a few days."

Kiyoshi said.

If Kushina were here, it would be easier to persuade Enoka Uzumaki to go to Konoha.

……

A few days later.

Mikoto has been discharged from the hospital, while the newborn Itachi has been left in the care of Konoha's medical ninjas.

Kiyoshi planned to wait until Mikoto had more time to adjust before giving her the child.

This would also allow Itachi to receive a proper Uchiha education from a young age, preventing him from going astray.

"Hokage-sama."

While eating her dry rations, Uzuki Yugao suddenly saw Kiyoshi appear in front of her, followed by a red-haired woman.

"This must be the Island of Spirits."

Kiyoshi glanced at it.

The Island of Spirits is also known as the Island of Oblivion.
