Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 57: Qianshou's Tea is Very Good

"Kaori, is the Hokage-sama treating you well?"

Gen Kazuhiko hurried to Konoha and visited the Uchiha Quartet in a hurry.

After asking about the dowry in a roundabout way and finalizing the wedding date, he immediately found Minamoto Kaori at the Hokage Building - the girl's position as the Hokage's secretary made him very happy.

It just so happened that Minamoto Kaori also had official business to visit the Land of Fire, so the two chose to talk in a small conference room on the first floor. Minamoto Kazuhiko calmed his restless heart and began to play the emotional card.

"Darling is a very nice guy."

Seeing that Minamoto Kazuhiko, who had never been kind to her before, suddenly showed concern for her, Minamoto Kaori opened her beautiful blood-jade eyes and watched his performance quietly.

Princes and princesses are worthless in the daimyo's mansion. The daimyo has a group of beautiful wives and concubines, as well as a number of children. However, the exquisite and beautiful Minamoto Kaori has been isolated a lot, and the only one who can accompany her is her cat.

Minamoto Kazuhiko was dissatisfied when he noticed Kaori's attitude, but he didn't dare to show it. The smile on his face made people feel more like a spring breeze. After asking a few questions about her well-being, he told her the reason why he came to Konoha.

"The tragedy that happened in the Land of Lightning has made father very sad. This time I came here, one is to finalize the wedding date between you and Hokage, and the other is to hope that Kaori can arrange some Uchiha ninjas to defend the daimyo's mansion and prevent the home where we were born and raised from being harmed by ninjas."

"Why don't you post a mission and hire Konoha's ninja?"

The girl's question made Gen Kazuhiko smile bitterly, "Kaori, a ninja killed a daimyo in such a terrible incident. How can an ordinary ninja continue to gain the trust of father?"

"Now only the Uchiha who is my in-law can make father feel at ease."

Minamoto Kaori nodded and said, "I can decide to place two of the four guards given to me by the Shifang clan leader in the daimyo's mansion in turn as a force to protect my father."

Being in the safe Konoha, surrounded by a bunch of Uchiha warriors, as well as Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Minako, Minako Minamoto has always felt that it was a waste for the four powerful guards that followed her. Now that someone is willing to pay to support them, she naturally agrees.

"The hiring fee will be paid to the members of the escort team according to the standards of A-level missions."

Seeing Minamoto Kazuhiko nodding decisively, Minamoto Kaori, who was sitting next to her husband, talked about the matter of supplies, and received Minamoto Kazuhiko's straightforward agreement.

"After we get back, all the supplies will be delivered immediately. If Kaori is worried about the speed, we can arrange for a guard team to supervise."

"If there are still not enough supplies, you can always arrange for someone to come and get them. Father will definitely support the development and construction of Konoha!"

Seeing the sincere Minamoto Kazuhiko, Minamoto Kaori said softly, "I heard from Darling that there are some vassal ninja clans that can also be trusted."

"If Your Highness Yiyan feels that he does not have enough manpower, he can take the members of the guard team to recruit some."

Gen Kazuhiko's eyes lit up. For the daimyo, the more ninjas who would not turn around and betray, the better. Money was not a problem at all.

At the end of the conversation, after learning that Uchiha Takean had already arranged for people to go to the Land of Lightning, Gen Ichihiko pretended to ask casually, "Kaori, do you know if the Hokage has any good suggestions or opinions about the current Land of Fire?"

"Kaori doesn't know this, but Darling wants to develop Konoha in a big way."

After looking at the girl's calm face, Minamoto Kazuhiko said nothing more. He turned around and ran to the Uchiha clan's territory with the task written by Minamoto Kaori, and then began to recruit ninjas from various vassal clans.

With his money and Uchiha's face, the ninja team that was able to fight a small war with the weakest Sand Village in the Wind Country left Konoha in a mighty manner under the gaze of Uchiha Takean.

"It seems that our Daimyo is also getting restless." Hearing this, Uzumaki Mito in the Hokage's office raised his head, a little worried about the safety of the Land of Fire, and asked, "My Hokage, so what new ideas do you have?"

"Don't worry, the Land of Fire is Konoha's base. The ninja world can be in chaos anywhere except here."

"I am not a barbarian from the Land of Lightning, and my wife is the daughter of the Daimyo. As long as the Daimyo continues to fully support the development of Konoha, there are some things that I don't have to do to the extreme."

"The document has been written. Please take a look at it, Hokage. If there is no problem, we will inform the other ninja villages after we conquer the Land of Lightning and become a land of disorder."

The matter of the daimyo was just an episode. Uchiha Wuan took the document handed over by Uzumaki Mito and read it line by line. "The wording doesn't need to be so gentle. Make it simpler and clearer."

"Hokage-sama, you are really not afraid of being attacked by a group of people."

Uzumaki Mito took the manuscript and returned to her seat to continue writing furiously. Her originally dignified and elegant face now showed a bit of the resentment of a woman in the boudoir.

Uchiha Wuan's heart moved, and he walked to her side, lowered his body, and could clearly smell the elegant fragrance of the lady.

"Lord Hokage!"

Looking at the young Hokage who was supporting himself on the table with one hand and keeping a slight distance from him, Uzumaki Mito felt unusually nervous and uncomfortable.

After she moved some distance away, she saw Uchiha Wuan's surprised face. Then the other party suddenly realized and said with disgust.

"My dear Secretary Mito, you are already a middle-aged woman with a granddaughter. You don't think I have any hidden thoughts about you, do you?"

"Aunt?!"

Veins popped up on Mito Uzumaki's forehead and he clenched his fists. Although he sometimes joked about being old, saying it yourself and being told it by others were two completely different things.

The noble lady's pair of bright and shining phoenix eyes were fixed on Uchiha Wuan, and there seemed to be a large, indescribable shadow emerging behind her. Her face, as smooth and tender as tofu, had a creepy smile.

"Hokage-sama, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Were you talking in your sleep just now?"

"If Hokage-sama hasn't woken up yet, you can go home and continue to sleep for a while. Anyway, Hokage-sama's main job here is to drink tea and stay healthy."

"If you think the Uchiha clan's tea is not tasty, the Senju tea tastes pretty good too."

"The tea leaves of Senju are quite good, but I can only smell them for now. The tea leaves of my Uchiha clan are more fragrant and tender."

Uzumaki Mito frowned. She always felt that there was something wrong with what Uchiha Wuan said, but she couldn't find out what was wrong. Then she snorted and said, "I'm going to start working. Please don't disturb my work, busy Hokage."

"I'll be watching you and point out any problems directly, saving you the trouble of revising them."

This time, looking at Uchiha Takean approaching, Uzumaki Mito did not stop him. Instead, she raised her head and chest, raised her slender white neck, and the kimono on her chest formed an arc that made people think of it.

(I, Uzumaki Mito, will always be a 28-year-old girl!)

When Uzumaki Mito noticed the boy's gaze on him, he felt complacent and a hint of excitement in his heart.
