This amount of money is more than she could earn in several lifetimes.
Soon, the two left and returned to Konoha.
After Kiyoshi left, sunlight streamed in through the window.
Yakushi Nonou opened her eyes, her face still bearing dried tear stains.
This is a natural consequence of the intense discussions that Kiyoshi had.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Yakushi Nonou gave a wry smile and began to tidy up the things inside the house.
While tidying up, she saw the scroll that Kiyoshi had put down.
Upon opening it, it revealed another two million taels.
A gentle warmth filled Yakushi Nonou's heart and abdomen.
"This child is really a good child."
Yakushi Nono sighed.
On the contrary, it was she who kept troubling Kiyoshi.
This prevented Kiyoshi from having the right values and from interacting with women his own age.
After finishing up with the orphanage matters, Yakushi Nonou plans to go to Konoha to find Kiyoshi again.
She hopes to guide Kiyoshi back on the right track.
…………
Several peaceful days passed.
Until one morning, a large group of ninja clan leaders and their trusted subordinates headed towards the Hokage Building.
These people are generally Jonin.
It's very difficult for ninjas below the rank of Jonin to be qualified to participate in this meeting.
This is a tally of the voting results over this period of time...
The voting method is very simple: just put it in an anonymous envelope.
Qing Si scoffed at these methods.
It's nothing but feudalism disguised as democracy.
While it may seem like everyone will vote, a ninja's vote is actually much more effective than that of an ordinary person.
Suppose that tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas vote for one particular ninja, while hundreds of thousands of ordinary people choose another ninja.
The final result is self-evident.
This is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme.
"what's wrong?"
Mikoto noticed Kiyoshi's emotional change and couldn't help but ask a question.
"I was just thinking about something."
Kiyoshi replied casually.
"Don't worry too much, Kiyoshi. You'll definitely make it into the nomination list today, and then we'll have a proper celebration."
Mikoto smiled gently, wanting to touch Kiyoshi, but worried about the impact on him in public.
After all, this is a major event involving the selection of Hokage. If one is preoccupied with personal feelings here, it will undoubtedly leave a bad impression.
"it is good."
Qingsi nodded.
Hokage nominees...
As early as when Kakashi's Sharingan was involved, the Konoha leadership had already reached a tacit agreement with the Uchiha clan.
It doesn't matter who from the Uchiha clan gets this spot.
Originally, "Fugaku with Fierce Eyes" was the most likely candidate to get the spot, but now Kiyoshi has emerged as the biggest variable.
But what good is it to get it?
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
He estimated that there was a high probability that the Konoha leadership would choose Minato Namikaze.
As for the Uchiha, they would naturally appease them.
It's very likely they'll be given a position just below the Hokage.
These things made no difference to Qing Si; what he wanted was to exchange these rights for resources.
The experimental base in the Land of Grass is still too small.
To grasp all the truths, one must invest a great deal of effort and understand their mysteries.
Like Naruto, he obtained the "Sage Mode of Six Paths" in a daze and became one of the world's top combatants.
Otherwise, with only "Sage Fox Mode," he simply couldn't defeat Madara Uchiha, let alone Kaguya Otsutsuki later on.
In the end, Naruto lost this power in a completely daze.
Unless the Sage of Six Paths bestows another gift, one will never be able to possess the "Sage of Six Paths Mode" again.
This outcome of being controlled by others is not what Qing Si wanted.
He wanted to uncover all the mysteries of the Otsutsuki clan and make them the foundation for his path to godhood.
Given the existence of the first Otsutsuki god, Otsutsuki Shibai, it's inevitable that a second one will appear beyond the endless starry sky.
He had to eliminate anything that might threaten Kiyoshi.
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling a fold in the hem of Mikoto's skirt.
This also caused her black hair to flutter, revealing Mikoto's swan-like white neck, which complemented her exquisite face.
Just then, the cherry blossoms blooming by the roadside fell, and a few pink petals landed on Mikoto.
"let's go."
He casually brushed away the petals scattered among Mikoto's black hair and led her forward.
Mikoto felt Kiyoshi's fingers gently brushing against her hair, and her face flushed slightly.
She had a closer connection with Qing Si, but that was a reverse push from the Heavenly Gang.
Now it's Kiyoshi who's initiating the intimacy.
This difference captivated Mikoto.
A hint of crimson flashed in his black eyes.
As expected, Kiyoshi is the sweetest treasure.
Unfortunately... there are always other women entangled around Kiyoshi.
Mikoto thought of Tsunade, who was 106cm tall, and also of Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, who were much younger than her.
Even her best friend Kushina.
Why can't her wishes always come true?
"Ok?"
When Kiyoshi looked over, the deep darkness in Mikoto's eyes instantly transformed into a bright, sparkling light.
"Let's go quickly."
This time it was Mikoto's turn to speak.
Kiyoshi nodded slightly, and the two continued walking.
Where Mikoto couldn't see, Fugaku Uchiha's face turned ashen.
My excitement today was dampened.
How far have things progressed between Mikoto and Kiyoshi?
What bothered Fugaku was that Mikoto, such a traditional woman, disregarded worldly opinions and chose to continue her somewhat ambiguous relationship with Kiyoshi.
The two are so far apart in age!
"Captain Fugaku, are you still looking at Mikoto?"
Uchiha Hachimoku couldn't understand why the wise and mighty Lord Fugaku had become such a sycophant.
Even when her relationship with Mikoto was still good, she could always appear very calm.
Is this what they mean by "we only know how to cherish something after we've lost it"?
Uchiha Yatsuhoku was more worried about Fugaku than anything else.
He was a true confidant of Fugaku, and his desire to help Fugaku get better was more intense than anyone else's.
“I’m looking at Seiji; he’s the most likely candidate to be nominated.”
Fugaku said calmly, trying to save face for himself.
"That's it."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha did not expose him.
Gradually, more and more clansmen appeared on the streets of the Uchiha settlement.
Of course, not all members of the race can enter and participate in the meeting.
But their waiting outside wasn't considered breaking the rules.
"Wow, you're in good spirits."
Tiehuo wiped his mouth with a tissue. He had just finished eating a bowl of noodles in the morning before running out.
In the distance, a tall and slender figure could be seen, his strong and slender body powerfully supporting the long robe of the Uchiha clan.
Kiyoshi is described as a ninja, but he's more like a model.
Sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, sharp and defined like axe-cut or knife-carved lines.
"That's weird, this guy seems to be getting more and more handsome."
Uchiha Tetsuka murmured.
At first, Kiyoshi was very thin and small, but after training, he became strong and had a man's ruggedness.
But that doesn't quite qualify him as handsome or dashing.
But as time went on, Kiyoshi's figure improved and his face became more and more handsome.
If I had to describe it, it's like a process of perfect evolution, resulting in the golden ratio.
"You haven't developed some kind of unusual fetish, have you...?"
Uchiha Inahisa, standing to the side, felt a chill run down her spine and covered her private parts with her hand.
Kiyoshi is very popular with women; he is always surrounded by many women.
So now, can I finally attract men?
"Hey, hey, hey, are you thinking about something weird?!"
When Uchiha Tetsuka met Uchiha Inahisa's strange gaze and saw his exaggerated movements, he immediately understood what was going on.
"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
Uchiha Inahi took a large step back.
"Who do you think gave you all those erotic books?"
Uchiha Tetsuka quickly denied it.
Prejudice between people is a mountain; if others misunderstand something, how can he find a good girl?
He does have someone he likes in the clan!
"enough."
Uchiha Tekka's father tapped him with his finger, saying with exasperation:
