The Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane stood together inside the desk.
Standing opposite him was Sakumo Hatake, who symbolized Konoha's 'highest fighting force'.
Uchiha Yuuki stood in the waiting area to the side of the desk.
The three parties form a stable triangle, quietly waiting inside the office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking a cigarette, while Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were yawning. Waking someone up in the middle of the night was indeed inhumane.
But he had no choice; he dared not meet Uchiha Yuuki alone.
Samurai from the three countries besieged the Land of Rain, and Uchiha Yuuki once again fought against Hanzo of the Salamander.
The two sides remain evenly matched!
This shows how rapidly Uchiha Yuuki has progressed.
Besides the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is most famous for its genjutsu!
Who knows if Uchiha Yuuki, whose strength has greatly increased, has improved his genjutsu skills?
When the two are alone, will the Hokage fall victim to a genjutsu and completely betray the village's interests?
More people means greater safety.
Tonight, in particular, I'll need to utilize the power of the kaleidoscope!
Looking at those reddened eyes, which still shone clearly and unharmed, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, "What a pity."
Aren't kaleidoscopes prone to causing blindness?
Why did Yuuki's eyes show no signs whatsoever?
If a true member of the Madara clan, a veteran Uchiha, heard this question, he would definitely laugh his head off.
The kaleidoscope technique is prone to blindness due to its misuse without replenishing its power, its extreme ability to conceal one's true nature, and its unresolved genetic defects.
If you study any one of the three questions and find a suitable path, the kaleidoscope will not risk going blind.
However, most Uchiha are not cut out for scientific research.
When faced with Yuuki's intense gaze through his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sakumo Hatake instinctively avoided eye contact.
These eyes gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
For some reason, upon seeing those eyes, Hatake Sakumo felt a genuine sense of disgust.
He forcibly suppressed this strange feeling.
This further convinced me that I had been influenced by some kind of magic!
The cold gaze withdrew, and the kaleidoscope pattern reverted to a regular three-tomoe design, disappearing as it spun.
"Lord Hokage, I didn't find any trace of genjutsu on Sakumo-senpai." Yuuki pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "It's possible that the enemy's genjutsu is far superior to mine."
"Is that so?" Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Minister Yuuki."
"Of course," Yuuki said with a smile. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the police department. If the Hokage needs anything, please feel free to contact me through the police department's liaison team."
His tone remained as respectful as ever, but the awe and trust in the Will of Fire in his eyes had long since vanished.
Yuuki, oh Yuuki.
Have you been blinded by the power of the police department?
As Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed the youthful and energetic source of chakra, he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, emotions, and reflections).
"Ok."
Yuuki put on his standard smile, nodded to Sakumo Hatake, and then turned and left the Hokage's office.
Uchiha Moriichi and Miyamoto Kumano, who were guarding the entrance, followed closely behind like two guardian statues.
Uchiha Shouichi's physique was already exaggerated, but as he entered the age of rapid growth for ninjas, his size expanded even more dramatically, reaching a full 2.1 meters!
Her figure hasn't changed despite her height.
Muscular build, well-proportioned lines, muscular even when clothes are loose, and makes one look slimmer in clothes.
His eyes gleamed with a chilling light, and his air of nobility grew ever stronger.
Miyamoto Kumano was still short and didn't have the same strength as Uchiha Moriichi.
After signing several insectoid summoning scrolls and learning a few ninjutsu, he integrated some of the unclaimed gray-market industries of the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village.
He gathers information from all directions for Uchiha Yuuki, raises funds through business, cultivates young talents from childhood, and wins over disgruntled officials from various regions.
Yuuki's rapid occupation of the eastern region of the Land of Fire, and the Uchiha clan's intermittent takeover of seventeen major towns, are inseparable from the contributions of Miyamoto Kumano.
The three gradually moved away from the Hokage Building and strolled to the vicinity of the Hokage Rock.
"How much does the Hokage eat?" Yuuki turned his head towards Miyamoto Kumano, his half-face, hidden in shadow, revealing a question.
The unexpected question did not stump Miyamoto Kumano. After a moment's thought, he quickly organized his thoughts and replied, "The Hokage's meals are mainly purchased randomly by the Anbu or ordered from the mission center canteen, with a few exceptions where meals are delivered by Sarutobi Biwako."
"For the past fifteen days, the secret service has not gone out to buy food. Several boxes of meals delivered from the canteen to the office have been returned intact, and there have even been instances where the number of food boxes for each of the three meals is inconsistent."
"The lights in the Hokage's office are often on until late at night."
"Based on the above, it is highly likely that the Hokage eats two meals a day and has a poor appetite."
"Hokage-sama, you've worked so hard." Yuuki nodded silently, recalling Hiruzen Sarutobi's exhausted appearance just now. "Not bad, you've mastered the skill of piecing together fragmented information into a complete clue."
Miyamoto Kumano chuckled, just like the seven or eight-year-old boy he was back then.
Yuuki turned his head to face Uchiha Shouichi, his half-face, illuminated by the light, revealing a serious expression.
"Has the Hokage approved all the scrolls that the police department submitted to the Hokage's office?"
"All of them contain the Hokage's handwritten comments, and some scrolls were reviewed by the Hokage himself, witnessed by the team members." Uchiha Shouichi became increasingly composed in his work.
Yuuki remarked, "The Hokage is still so... hands-on."
However, in an era full of change, being too hands-on can easily exhaust you.
Just like the 'Seventh Generation' Naruto Uzumaki.
Living in an era of technological explosion, he used his shadow clone technique, exhausting himself every day, yet still finding it difficult to handle everything.
“Let’s give the Hokage some more responsibilities,” Yuuki suddenly said.
“Understood.” Uchiha Moritsu nodded and suggested, “The project management plan for residential buildings, shops and streets of the police department has been put on the agenda. The work content has not changed much, but the number of documents that need to be approved has tripled.”
"I will ask the clerks to write more greetings to the Hokage, with useful content mixed in with a bunch of nonsense."
Miyamoto Kumano suggested increasing the number of tedious tasks and brainstorming new ones.
The missions that Konoha frequently receives have formed a fixed pattern.
The Hokage doesn't need to interfere too much.
However, if a task without precedent arises, the Hokage's office will definitely need to make the final decision.
"Execute it."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them went in different directions and disappeared into the night.
...
"Sakumo, if you're really feeling unwell, then take some time to rest." Finding no trace of illusion, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little relieved: "I guess you've been too tired lately, that's why you're hallucinating."
"No need, Hokage-sama," Sakumo Hatake refused. "The reform of the education system is at a critical juncture, and I absolutely cannot give up."
"Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. I will definitely adjust my mindset positively."
Watching Hatake Sakumo leave the office, his steps were firm and his back straight, just as he had been promoted to head of the Dark Division.
A cold glint appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
Sakumo Hatake, you are a good person, but not a qualified leader, and not suitable to manage the village.
After dismissing Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, he gathered up several scattered scrolls, intending to deliver the final blow to Hatake Sakumo after a mistake was made at the Ninja Academy.
For a ninja, the most important thing is to know their own place!
