Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 40 Can't I just marry them all?
While all the major villages were discussing the Uchiha clan becoming the Third Hokage, the quiet and peaceful Konoha Village welcomed the next day's sunrise.

Uchiha Wuan, who couldn't sleep all night, put on the gorgeous dark kimono that Uchiha Shifang sent him last night in front of the mirror. This old clan leader is really impeccable when it comes to caring for people.

The bangs were also cut upwards, making the pair of black eyes look more energetic.

Soon, a noble and handsome young man was reflected in the mirror. Rather than a ninja who killed people without blinking an eye, he was more like a young prince from the nobles.

"that's it."

Just when Uchiha Wuan was ready to find Uchiha Shifang and other three elders as witnesses, he unexpectedly found Uchiha Shifang first with a strange look on his face.

"Marry the daughter of a daimyo? Or marry a girl from the clan?"

The sudden choice made Uchiha Wuan a little stunned. He looked at the Uchiha Sifang in front of him and asked puzzledly, "Can't we marry them all?"

"Eh?"

Uchiha Shifang was also stunned. In his mind, only nobles could have three wives and four concubines. How could they, lowly ninjas who lived from hand to mouth, have such a blessing?

However, when Uchiha Sifang looked at the noble young man in front of him, he suddenly felt that it would not be wrong for Uchiha Wuan to marry more girls, and he could also have more outstanding children.

If one or two more Mangekyō masters could emerge, the Uchiha clan would undoubtedly become even more powerful.

Then Uchiha Shifang asked, "No one has stipulated that you cannot marry more than one person. Next, are you going to go to the front hall to find Her Highness Kaori, or go to find Jiri?"

"Of course, we should seek governance first."

Uchiha Wuan replied without hesitation, "Jizhi is the first girl I fell in love with. Although Her Highness Kaori is the princess of the Land of Fire, if I have to choose one, I will only choose Jizhi."

"The ninja world has no shortage of princesses, but there is only one to govern it."

"It's great that you think this way, young master. Family unity is more important than anything else."

"But I have something more to say, please forgive me, young master."

Uchiha Shifang said in a deep voice, "After marrying into the Uchiha clan, Princess Kaori is also a member of the Uchiha clan. She is also the bridge between the Uchiha clan and the daimyo's mansion. Please treat her equally, young master."

"My wife will naturally take good care of me."

Uchiha Wuan made the promise and then got up and went to the Uchiha Ji's residence. When he reached the door, he paused and summoned Tachibana.

Seeing the flattering look on the orange cat's face, Uchiha Wuan felt extremely satisfied, but he still maintained a vicious expression on his face.

"Big Mouth Cat, now I have a task for you."

"Master Wu An, no matter what the task is, Meow Meow will ensure it is completed!"

"Her Highness Kaori has arrived at the family lobby. You must leave immediately and get into her arms."

"Understood, Lord Wu An! Eh? What kind of mission is this?"

Juza blinked his cat eyes, full of doubts.

"You little silly cat, of course you want to make Kaori-sama feel at ease, and little by little, you treat this place as her home."

"Meow~"

At this moment, the warm smile on Uchiha Wuan's face made Tachibana very happy.

The Uchiha Shifang walked towards the front hall, where Uchiha Hinata and Uchiha Setsuna were meeting with the Daimyo's envoys.

Minamoto Kaori, wearing a turban and a twelve-piece kimono, sat quietly beside Minamoto Kazuhiko, watching her family pull her out early in the morning, like an elder brother who was afraid that she couldn't be sold. Even with a cold temperament, she couldn't help feeling a little sad. Her hands were intertwined under her sleeves, telling the girl's distress.

(Uchiha Governance...)
Minamoto Kaori couldn't help but think of the purple-haired girl with whom she had met once and had a rivalry with - given her situation, if she was looking forward to meeting her, she would definitely laugh at her.

(I really want to see Juzua, but I don’t know where Juzua is?)

In the vast and deep Uchiha clan territory, the only thing that Minamoto Kaori is familiar with is the little fat cat, which is also the only thing that gives her something to look forward to.

"Meow~"

After answering a few questions from the Uchiha elders as if she were doing business, Minamoto Kaori suddenly heard a familiar cat's meow and couldn't help but look back.

Under Minamoto Kaori's surprised and delighted gaze, a fat orange cat with a bulging belly was running towards her and finally leaped into her arms.

"Your Highness Kaori, Tachibana is here again."

Tachibana raised his head, and his sight just happened to see Minamoto Kaori's smile blooming like spring light after the ice and snow melted from under the face mask, and he said in a meowing tone.

"The master is worried that Kaori-sama is nervous, so he sent Tachibana here. He hopes that Kaori-sama will treat this place as her home."

Minamoto Kaori didn't say anything, but her clear red eyes sparkled, and her flawless white jade hands gently stroked Tachibana's soft hair.

"My lords, what is this?"

Gen Kazuhiko discovered that there was a pattern of the word "Wu" on the back of the fat orange cat's clothes. This was also the Uchiha clan's territory, and he looked at the three Uchiha elders with shining eyes.

"Well, this is your ninja cat, who has accompanied you through life and death, and is deeply loved by you."

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Sifang clapped his hands and laughed, "Your Highness Yiyan, what will happen next will be a scene that will make both you and me happy."

"Thank you for your kind words, Patriarch Sifang."

Gen Yihiko was overjoyed. Before coming here, he was still feeling uneasy, worried that Uchiha Wuan was stubborn and only liked one person, and missed the opportunity to marry his sister off. Now his heart was at ease, and there was a hint of relief in his words.

For a while, the two sides chatted more and more happily, and soon they started talking about the bride price and dowry.

The daimyo's mansion didn't have much of anything else but a lot of money. Uchiha Setsuna, who had originally been indifferent to Gen Kazuhiko and even looked down on him, was attracted by Gen Kazuhiko's generosity in spending money lavishly.

"Your Highness Yiyan, you are indeed a handsome man!"

While Gen Kazuhiko was pleased with Uchiha Setsuna's praise, he was also considering using money and supplies to tie the Uchiha clan to the chariot of the Fire Nation.

This kind of thinking comes from the Ninja's strong credibility!

There are many ninjas who are willing to risk their lives to complete their missions, and the Uchiha clan is the best among them. As long as the method is right, it is possible to drive a group of Uchiha clans to work for you.

"Since His Highness Kazuhiko is generous, my Uchiha clan will naturally not be stingy."

"From now on, the four elite teams of our clan will be directly dispatched by Her Highness Kaori to ensure that Her Highness Kaori will not suffer any grievances when she arrives in Uchiha."

The four elite teams can be compared to a detachment of the Security Department, with four three-magatama elite jonin as captains and twelve two-magatama half of whom are jonin as team members. They can all defeat the ninja villages of some small countries.

It can be regarded as a return gift for Minamoto Kazuhiko's generous dowry.

Gen Kazuhiko didn't know much about this, but seeing the seriousness of the Uchiha Four, he understood the importance of the four elite teams and was delighted.

Although the betrothal gift and dowry all belong to Minamoto Kaori, as the eldest brother, he asks for some help from his younger sister. As the younger sister, can Minamoto Kaori refuse?

(However, I do need to build a better relationship with Kaori.)
