Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 44 I found myself still having no choice

In the afternoon, Uchiha Wuan, looking refreshed, walked slowly to the Hokage building to clock in for work. As expected, he saw that a desk had been added to the Hokage's office.

A beautiful woman wearing a dark kimono, more beautiful than a flower and with a side ponytail, was reading through documents quietly and virtuously.

"Hokage-sama."

Seeing the newcomer, Uzumaki Minako immediately stood up and greeted him. Uzumaki Mito, who was sitting across from her, glanced at him and chuckled, "How did Hokage-sama find time to come to the Hokage building?"

"Minako, stop standing there. If you don't want to work overtime, just finish your work."

The Konoha Village was extremely busy after the war. The various subsidies and merits alone were enough to make people feel overwhelmed, not to mention the tasks that were coming like snowflakes from all over the Fire Country. If the Uchiha clan had not gone out of the village to sweep the area, Uzumaki Mito estimated that he would have to work overtime until late every night.

When compared with the idle and extremely noble Hokage, Uzumaki Mito's temper as a girl began to boil over.

"Then shall I leave?"

"and many more!"

Seeing Uchiha Takean about to leave, Uzumaki Mito's eyes twitched, but she finally took out a document calmly, "Tomorrow is the day for graduation from the Ninja Academy. This is the list of graduates for this term. Take a look."

(I’ve been so busy lately that I almost forgot about this.)
Uchiha Wuan, who was interested, took the document and looked at the list of personnel while listening to Uzumaki Mito's explanation.

"Next, the Hokage needs to select the guiding jonin for each class, and they need to show up at the Ninja School that day and explain to the students of the Ninja School what the Will of Fire is."

"I will ask the four clan leaders to come and discuss with Secretary Mito about the arrangements for guiding the jonin. You two are more familiar with the jonin in the clan and the village than I am, so I won't get involved."

"Also regarding the appearance at the Ninja School, I will send a shadow clone over there, and Secretary Minako will accompany him then."

Uchiha Takean's reasonable approach made Uzumaki Mito nod. Uzumaki Minako, who had just sat down, stood up and nodded in response, and was glared at by Uzumaki Mito again.

"By the way, let me take care of these four students."

Uchiha Takean pointed to the names on the roster, which included the future biological scientist Orochimaru, the future toad sage Jiraiya, the future bloodline master Hokuroko, and the future Kato Dan who would learn the spirit transformation technique.

Without exception, all of them are civilians, and in the future they all have the hope of joining the ranks of powerful Kage and becoming the white jade pillars that support the sky and the purple gold beams that span the sea of ​​Konoha Village.

Uzumaki Mito, who was not aware of this, was a little surprised at Uchiha Takean's choice, "Why not choose Ino-Shika-Chou, or a ninja from your own clan? And you have to bring four people. Don't quit when you see that your disciples can't meet your requirements."

The lower limit of many ninja clans is the upper limit of civilian ninjas. Uzumaki Mito guessed that Uchiha Takean wanted to bribe civilian ninjas, but was afraid that the other party would show his Uchiha temperament and ruin the reputation of the Hokage.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, but I'll be more motivated if there's competition."

Uchiha Wuan smiled and said, "Why don't Secretary Mito accept a few disciples to compete with me and see who is better at guiding disciples?"

"Will Hokage-sama do this work?"

Uzumaki Mito slapped the documents piled half a meter high on the table beside him, and with a bang, he glanced at Uchiha Takean, causing the latter to fall silent instantly.

"Ninja teams usually consist of four people, one leading three. With mutual cooperation, they can basically complete tasks below S-level. This is also the experience gained from practice over the years."

Uzumaki Mito said slowly, "As the Hokage, you must have the Hokage's position. You cannot leave the village casually, especially to complete tasks at the national level. That will cause people from other countries to misjudge Konoha's position."

Uchiha Wuan listened patiently.

He is not a yellow-haired brat who is angry with everyone, nor is he a bitter and vengeful male protagonist. Uzumaki Mito has no right to refuse the kindness of his job, but whether he does it or not is another matter.

If there is really a blind country or ninja village that provokes him, he will destroy it. Blood and bones are the shortcuts that pave the way for Uchiha Wuan to the highest level. The premise is that the other party provokes first, which is also the principle that Uchiha Wuan draws for himself.

You can't really be a beast.

"From among the four disciples of the Hokage, we can choose a vice-captain to perform some tasks that the Hokage is not convenient to do."

"Thank you Secretary Mito for the reminder."

After seeing Uzumaki Mito finish speaking, Uchiha Takean changed the subject and spoke again.

"Also, if Secretary Mito doesn't mind, Tsunade can also become my student, just like the Nidaime and Uchiha Kagami, and Senju Tsunade and the Sandaime."

Facing Uchiha Wuan's sincere eyes, Uzumaki Mito pondered for a while, and did not refuse or agree, and said softly, "Hokage-sama, Tsunade is the successor of the Senju, and no problems can occur."

"Secretary General Mito, even someone as strong as Hashirama-sama has come to the end of his life. As long as Tsunade becomes a ninja, fighting, blood and blades will be the main theme of life."

"And the example of Moriki-san is right in front of us."

"Nothing can go wrong? Secretary Mito, can you guarantee that?"

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office suddenly became quiet, and Uchiha Takean faced Uzumaki Mito's cold gaze calmly and took it indifferently.

"Don't look at me like that. If I'm unhappy, Senju of the Forest will also be unhappy."

"Besides, Senju Moriki is the patriarch of the Senju clan after all. What's wrong with paying attention to him?"

"Haha, Lord Hokage is still very skilled."

Only a few people knew about the situation of Senju Moriki. After ruling out the suspicion of a traitor, Uzumaki Mito had to suspect that the other party had broken the sealing barrier of the Senju clan's land and sneaked in silently.

If this method were used in assassination, Uzumaki Mito would feel a chill in his heart.

"So I am the Hokage."

Uchiha Wuan replied as a matter of course, and then took out a kunai from the ninja tool bag on his waist. The Flying Thunder God mark on it made Uzumaki Mito's eyes focus.

"Secretary-General Mito should know the function of this Flying Thunder God Kunai better than I do. I would like to ask Secretary-General Mito, who is proficient in sealing techniques, to help me and see if we can add a warning seal to the Flying Thunder God Kunai."

Uchiha Wuan gave an example, "As long as someone touches it with chakra, the people on the other side can immediately detect such a warning seal."

Uzumaki Mito's eyes lit up and he instantly understood the benefits of this.

There is a powerful Hokage standing behind him who can arrive at any time. He is more effective than any magic. On the other hand, he is also entrusting his life to Uchiha Wuan's thoughts.

Uzumaki Mito pondered for a while and found that he still had no choice.

After becoming a ninja, one will inevitably have to engage in fighting. Without the Flying Thunder God Technique, it is impossible for me to always stand behind Tsunade. The only one who can protect Tsunade at any time is Uchiha Takean.

"Thank you, Hokage. Tsunade will rely on your guidance from now on."

After taking the Flying Thunder God Kunai, Uzumaki Mito bowed his head and bent over to express his gratitude. Uzumaki Minako, who was silent on the side, bent her waist deeply, revealing her graceful hip line.

Uchiha Wuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled and helped Uzumaki Mito up. The soft touch of her shoulders was just like that of a 28-year-old girl.
