"I haven't left the clan grounds for a long time, but yesterday I had to leave with the clan leader to handle your matter at the Hokage Building."
Although Uchiha Kenji's words seemed like a complaint, his smile revealed that he was in a good mood.
"Although I don't know what secret mission Hatake Sakumo did, after he and Konoha's high-level came back from the Daimyo Mansion, the Uchiha Race received a reward from the Daimyo. Even though there's no substantial reward, the village will surely benefit..."
Uchiha Yoichi asked in surprise, "The village didn't give me trouble? What about leaving the village without permission?"
"What kind of trouble is that? If those people dare to make an issue of this, the Security Team will conduct a thorough investigation on leaving the village secretly tomorrow. From now on, no one will leave; it's Lord Hokage's directive..."
Uchiha Kenji chuckled, confidently said; "Forget about it, those ninjas of the Shimura Family who leave the village, did they apply to the village?"
"If they want to enforce such rules, they may as well try to manage the civilian ninjas, but do they really intend to control the Ninja Race?"
"Moreover, you involved Kakashi, the son of Hatake Sakumo. How would they punish you? Praise the father one moment, then punish the son the next?"
Uchiha Kenji was in a good mood today, finishing his cup of tea quickly, "They said the mission this time was important, you might even receive a mission reward, maybe they'll let you choose a ninjutsu...."
"Really? Elder Kenji, it's not that I don't trust you, but last time I almost tore off Danzo's face to throw in the toilet. Now you're telling me Konoha's high-level want to reward me with ninjutsu.... Is it the ninjutsu from the Sealing Book?"
The news was coming one after the other, nearly dizzying Uchiha Yoichi. The key was that all this information sounded so fantastical, it seemed unreliable.
"I don't know, the Sealing Book is reportedly recorded by the Second Generation Hokage. Many ninjutsu on it are very dangerous; ordinary people can't train in them. If they really offer you ninjutsu from the Sealing Book, I might advise you not to accept it!"
Uchiha Kenji shook his head and said, Forbidden Techniques are defined as such because they have great taboos.
B-Class Ninjutsu already has the training difficulty of a Jonin; A-Class is the standard of Forbidden Techniques. Many A-Class Ninjutsus require a huge amount of Chakra, and even Jonin can't sustain them for long.
Fire Release, Shuriken, and Sharingan of the Uchiha Race are already enough for them to make a name in the Ninja World, Uchiha Kenji considers Forbidden Techniques as adding flowers to a brocade.
Uchiha Yoichi said: "We'll see when the time comes. If they offer it, then of course I won't be polite."
"By the way, that Uzumaki girl you have, the Konoha high-level seem to know about her too."
Uchiha Kenji poured himself another cup of tea and said casually: "That Uzumaki girl seems very skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, though I'm not sure about the specifics. You should ask her when you get back;"
"However, they only asked about her. Officially, her name is Uchiha, not Uzumaki... Minami, I guess that's her name."
"Why? What do they want now?"
Uchiha Yoichi smacked his lips and said: "Why do I feel like they're always watching me? A slight stir can attract attention."
"Geniuses are always intriguing. Yoichi, you better get used to it. When you become clan leader, all the clan members will focus on you...."
Uchiha Kenji said quietly.
"Besides, they can only ask. Taking someone away is impossible; as for watching you... isn't that normal? Danzo was thoroughly embarrassed last time."
Uchiha Yoichi chuckled at the words, then told Uchiha Kenji that his Sharingan had reached Three-Tomoe; Uchiha Kenji was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan undoubtedly marks a genius; Uchiha Yoichi is just a name and an opportunity away from becoming clan leader.
After leaving Second Elder's house, Uchiha Yoichi headed home intending to ask Minami if anyone had been looking for her lately.
Then he discussed the medicine business, Uchiha Yoichi plans to expand the pharmaceutical factory, knowing that war will surely break out in the coming years, he's planning ahead now with available funds.
He aims to profit from both ordinary people's money and samurai's.
Uchiha also has its business, a weapon enterprise with the Ninja Cat Race. The Ninja Cat Race also assists Uchiha in gathering intelligence within the Ninja World.
Though the business is small, it's profitable, barely covering normal clan expenses.
Now Uchiha Yoichi has three ventures, the medicine business is about to go public, and the gaming business is acquiring factories. As for the Magic Goat, it'll have to wait until next year to see results.
Returning home, Uchiha Yoichi glances at Gates; this fellow spends his days eating and sleeping, urging his master to find energy-rich meats once he's awake. Then Uchiha Yoichi kicks him away.
Gates doesn't undertake serious tasks, yet has many demands, and Uchiha Yoichi plans to have Gates sign a Summoning Contract with Minami too.
Uzumaki Minami has abundant Chakra but lacks self-preservation means. Before awakening Vajra Seal, her strength was comparable to a Chunin, and an inexperienced one at that.
With Gates' aid, Uzumaki Minami needn't fear facing Jonins in the future; although Gates can't use Beast King Roar Bullet successively now, with its Gravity Jutsu, Earth Pillar, and huge paws, opposing a dozen ninjas is no problem.
Having used Stealing today, Uchiha Yoichi worried about returning to Konoha without opportunities, he found a wandering ninja on his way back, but only stole Chakra.
After days of stealing, Uchiha Yoichi learned that Chakra is temporary; only stealing Physical Energy or Spiritual Energy can permanently increase one's power.
Pupil Power is the concrete manifestation of Spiritual Energy, also known as Yin Release.
At night, Uzumaki Minami returned, calling out at the door as usual: "I'm home..."
Then she kicked off her shoes and plopped down on the sofa, not noticing Uchiha Yoichi, starting to mutter to herself.
"So tired, I still have to study Sealing Technique later...."
In the kitchen, Uchiha Yoichi heard the words and was about to advise Minami to rest more, but before he could, he heard Uzumaki Minami continue muttering.
"Why hasn't Lord Yoichi returned? I bought several pairs of white stockings...."
"Does Lord Yoichi prefer over-knee white socks or pantyhose white socks? Should I...."
Uchiha Yoichi cleared his throat, loudly saying, "Minami, get ready for dinner!"
"Lo-Lord Yoichi?"
Thud, a heavy sound hit the floor, followed by Uzumaki Minami's hasty reply: "Coming, I'll be right there..."
