What new plans do you have?

Nagato frowned slightly.

The spotted creature appears and disappears without a trace, and usually doesn't bother me unless there's something wrong.

Now that they've found themselves, it's clear they have something to share.

"I have a plan called 'The Nine-Tailed Fox's Rampage'."

Obito slowly uttered those words.

…………

"This is a request for funding from the orphanage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi placed a report on Kiyoshi's desk.

He stepped down from the position of Hokage, but his political career was not over, and he was still handling some government affairs.

Many documents that Kiyoshi delegated to Minato Namikaze, but which Namikaze was unsure about, would be sent to the experienced Hiruzen Sarutobi for approval.

"Lord Third Generation, I have received it."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

"Kiyoshi, you... many things are the Hokage's responsibility."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the thin files on Kiyoshi's desk and couldn't help but speak.

Kiyoshi's act of delegating authority was unanimously praised by Koharu Utatane, Danzo Shimura, and Homura Mito.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi always believed that Kiyoshi possessed the "Will of Fire" of his old friend Kagami Uchiha.

But if power is delegated in this way, it will eventually become just a figurehead.

If other ninja clans found out, they would think that the Konoha leadership was undermining Kiyoshi.

"I know."

Qingsi nodded.

However, he didn't care about rights.

Rights are merely an outward manifestation.

Whether in ordinary society or in a ninja village based on ninjas, ultimately it is power that provides the foundation.

The daimyo controls violent organizations like the army, using them to rule the world and suppress anyone with rebellious thoughts.

Ninjas possess their own strength. As long as they are powerful and exude the aura of a strong person, no one can underestimate them.

For example, the father-son duo Might Guy and Might Dai were capable of fighting against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, while Might Guy was able to briefly reach the "Six Paths level" of combat power, even crippling Madara Uchiha in his Six Paths form.

In the original story, when they were young, they lived almost entirely under the shadow of others' ridicule and strangeness.

This is what happens when someone has power but lacks the corresponding aura of a strong person, and others dare to take advantage of them.

The Uchiha clan is Kiyoshi's best asset; even though he hasn't made a move in a long time, no one dares to test his patience.

Those who dared to challenge the Uchiha have already learned how to behave under the arrogant Uchiha.

Especially now that Kiyoshi has become Hokage, the Uchiha clan ninjas have become even more arrogant.

Normally, they are in a high position when carrying out tasks.

Just like in "Infinite Tsukuyomi," when Sasuke became the vice-captain of the Konoha Police Department, the Uchiha ninja's ego swelled.

However, nothing has happened yet, and it's still within Kiyoshi's tolerance range.

If things get out of hand, he'll pick a few troublemakers to deal with.

Now that Konoha is his ninja village, Kiyoshi will naturally not allow Konoha to descend into chaos.

"As long as you know what's going on."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, puffing on his pipe, walked outside.

Cigarettes were practically Hiruzen Sarutobi's second life; even though those around him repeatedly advised him to quit, he couldn't.

Click.

As the door closed, only Kiyoshi remained in the Hokage's office.

Kiyoshi casually used a Wind Release ninjutsu to dispel the smoke in the Hokage's office by forming a hand seal with one hand.

"It's about time to visit the orphanage."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Kiyoshi adopted a hands-off approach to the development of the orphanage.

He himself hadn't been there for quite some time.

"Yakushi Kabuto is not young anymore; it's time for him to show his talent."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

The current Kabuto Yakushi is not yet caught up in the confusion he felt after accidentally killing Nono in the original story; instead, he is wholeheartedly trying to share the burden of the orphanage.

In this situation, his learning efficiency is completely different from when he worked under Orochimaru.

But this is the positive side.

In the ninja world, "bonds" are truly a magical thing, greatly enhancing an individual's potential.

"red lotus."

Qingsi spoke.

"Yes, Lord Kiyoshi."

Crimson Lotus, dressed as an Anbu member, appeared in the Hokage's office.

Her blue pineapple hairstyle had a few strands of hair hanging down, and her dark, tight-fitting clothes accentuated her figure perfectly.

Her long, straight legs and curvaceous figure couldn't radiate youthful beauty.

Guren was a Chunin several years ago, but Kiyoshi recently promoted her to Jonin and assigned her the position of squad leader.

"Come with me on a trip in a couple of days."

Kiyoshi put the document he had finished reading aside.

"Yes."

Honglian's tone was joyful.

It was certainly an honor for her to do a mission with Lord Kiyoshi!

……

Several days later, Qing Si took Hong Lian to the orphanage.

Besides Guren, Kiyoshi also brought Tsurugi Fubuki, who was in the process of being corrected.

After the revisions were completed, Kiyoshi dispatched her to the Island of Spirits to manage it.

Uzumaki Enoka also chose to return to the Island of Spirits, as her abilities were very effective in suppressing summoned beasts.

In the original story, if the "Ultimate Summoning Beast" hadn't gone out of control, Enoka Uzumaki probably wouldn't have died.

Moreover, there is only one type of summoning beast on the entire island, the "Ultimate Summoning Beast," which can devour and evolve.

"Lord Kiyoshi, she..."

Honglian looked at Heyi Chuixue with a puzzled expression.

He Yi Fubuki was wearing a black robe, which concealed her curvaceous figure.

She was wearing a white mask with the character "封" (seal) written on it.

Along the way, Honglian was surprised to find that He Yi Chuixue did not utter a single word, no matter what the situation was.

"She is currently undergoing revisions."

Kiyoshi patted Honglian's head.

There were many things he didn't tell Honglian.

"Correct it?"

Honglian was confused and didn't quite understand the meaning behind Qingsi's words.

However, since Kiyoshi had already said so, she didn't ask any further questions.

"It looks like the orphanage is just ahead."

Honglian pointed to a building on the mountain ahead.

That's where the orphanage is located.

"Let's go."

Qingsi nodded.

He looked at Kiyoshi's buildings and found that they were becoming increasingly dilapidated.

However, some new buildings have been constructed in the surrounding area, which are clearly in much better condition than the orphanage.

"Dou, don't push yourself so hard. It's good to take a break every now and then."

Uruxi spoke.

He and Kabuto Yakushi had both grown much older, transforming from children into teenagers.

Perhaps due to precociousness, stubble had already begun to grow on his chin.

"It's always good to be able to share some of the burden with the dean."

The pharmacist wiped his sweat.

He put down the box of documents he was holding.

Many orphans adopted by the orphanage, if they have the qualifications to become ninjas, will be given priority in training to become medical ninjas.

Most of the children in the orphanage, even those with poor aptitude, possess a will far exceeding that of ordinary people and are more capable of enduring hardship.

Over time, this led to the development of many medical ninjas.

These medical ninjas were responsible for studying the research projects sent by Konoha, analyzing data, and conducting experiments.

Some outstanding ninjas are also recruited by Konoha and formally enlisted.

Kiyoshi quietly watched the scene unfold before him.

These changes were naturally arranged by him.

Those projects were also tasks assigned by Kiyoshi, and their latest research results would be presented to Kiyoshi.

Combined with the experimental base in the Land of Grass, this is why Kiyoshi's research was able to make such rapid progress.

In terms of sheer numbers, Orochimaru's experimental base was far smaller than Kiyoshi's.

Aside from Kabuto Yakushi as an assistant, Orochimaru did most of his research himself.

"You are... Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Yakushi Kabuto looked at Kiyoshi and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

He immediately remembered that this was an acquaintance of the dean.

Is Nonou there?

Qingsi asked.

"The dean is here."

Uruxi, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

"And you should call him Hokage-sama."

Urushi patted Yakushi Kabuto on the back, indicating that he had spoken without thinking.

"It's out of the way."

Qingsi shook his head.

Since Yakushi Nonou is here, his trip wasn't in vain.
