"Some reporting matters, mainly the benefits from the ninja game and the clan's needs summary, and by the way, I'm visiting you. You've worked hard, Mr. Yoichi."
Madam Mikota briefly explained the purpose and then offered the gift.
"These matters aren't very urgent. I just changed my medication, so I can't take anything right now. I'll look at it later when I go out."
Uchiha Yoichi spoke slowly, then continued with a slight smirk: "If you're visiting, I might believe it, but Uchiha Fugaku definitely wouldn't have such a notion. He's eager for my death."
"That's not it, Mr. Yoichi, you've misunderstood Fugaku, he doesn't have such thoughts...."
"Forget it, Madam Mikota, no need to explain."
Uchiha Yoichi didn't believe Mikota's explanation at all; he once nearly killed Uchiha Fugaku, and now he wants to seize the clan leader position from him. Their philosophies differ, so peaceful coexistence is impossible.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, yes, Fugaku asked me to tell you something, he also conveyed a request from the Third Generation Hokage, wanting to swap the Amber Purifying Pot with you...."
Uchiha Mikota felt a bit embarrassed. She had just mentioned Fugaku asking her to visit, but then turned around to talk about this matter. If she had known, she wouldn't have said that.
"As expected, Madam Mikota, tell Uchiha Fugaku to tell the Third Generation Hokage, there's no negotiating, it's mine, won't swap."
Uchiha Yoichi sneered a bit, Uchiha Fugaku was still the same.
Madam Mikota didn't know what to do either; Fugaku only asked her to tell, but Mr. Yoichi seemed a bit upset after hearing it.
Uchiha Yoichi laughed and said: "Madam Mikota, you indeed came with purpose today. It must be hard for you, especially with gifts."
"Apolo, apologies, Mr. Yoichi, Fugaku just asked me to pass the message, not persuade...."
"Mm, my answer is no swap, won't work no matter who asks."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi slowly got up, then prepared to get out of bed.
Mikota saw this and asked: "Mr. Yoichi, what are you planning to do? Let me help you...."
"I need to go to the bathroom, I can do it myself."
Upon hearing, Mikota's face turned a bit red, and she sat back down awkwardly, but she suddenly noticed Uchiha Yoichi's arms were just freshly bandaged and wrapped.
"Mr. Yoichi, you seem to be inconvenient now, let me find someone to help you...."
However, before Mikota could finish, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted and said: "There's no one to take care here."
"Well, then...."
Mikota didn't know what happened to her, recalling when Uchiha Yoichi misunderstood her earlier, she suddenly said: "Let me help you then, Mr. Yoichi."
Right after saying this, Mikota's mind seemed to freeze; she didn't know what she was saying until after she finished speaking.
"No, no, Mr. Yoichi, I just...."
"Alright, then I'll ask Madam Mikota for your help."
"Eh?"
Uchiha Mikota was taken aback, not expecting herself to say those words, nor did she expect Uchiha Yoichi to agree.
But now, if she wants to take it back, would Mr. Yoichi misunderstand, thinking I'm toying with him?
Just talked about the Third Generation Hokage's matters, already made Mr. Yoichi misinterpret, now... now she didn't know why she said such words.
"Mr. Yoichi, I... I.. eh, Mr. Yoichi?"
Mikota was about to explain when she saw Mr. Yoichi heading towards the bathroom, which made her breathing a bit rapid.
If she says she won't help now, would it possibly make Mr. Yoichi resent her? Drive her away? If she fails to complete the agreement, along with the contract she signed.... and Fugaku made her gather intelligence....
The clash of the two emotions made Mikota's mind turn into a mush.
She then slowly made a decision, took a deep breath, and then comforted herself: "Mikota, this is assisting a patient, don't think about other stuff; Mr. Yoichi is a Konoha hero, thinking about the past is meaningless...."
After comforting herself, Mikota stood up, with her long, black-stockinged legs, walked to the bathroom door, knocked a few times, and then went in.
Upon entering, Mikota saw Mr. Yoichi hadn't taken any action yet, and she stammeringly said: "Mr., Mr. Yoichi, let me help you...."
"Sorry to trouble you, Madam Mikota."
"No, no problem, Mr. Yoichi is a Konoha hero, injured because of Konoha, I, I don't mind doing this..."
....................
After a while, she finally took off the black cotton and tights, but these two things caused her trouble, not knowing how to dispose of them.
Taking them out seemed strange, there's a smell if carried; after thinking for a while, Mikota bit her lip and threw them in the trash bin, then hid the bin in the corner, preventing it from being seen by others.
She planned to go out later, buy a bag, then come back and pack the items to destroy them.
Upon coming out from the bathroom.
Mikota saw Uchiha Yoichi on the sickbed, then quickly bowed to apologize: "Mr. Yoichi, sorry, I made a mistake earlier."
The grip was so tight, she felt it was quite improper... no, no, not improper, but really shouldn't be, extremely shouldn't be.
"Hey, Madam Mikota, it hurts so much I'm planning to see a doctor. It still hurts a bit now. What if there's a problem?"
"I'm, I'm sorry!"
"If there is a problem, will Madam Mikota take responsibility?"
"Oh? I'm... I'm sorry, Mr. Yoichi, I'm very sorry!"
Mikota was now at a loss, unsure of what to do, so she kept bowing and apologizing.
Uchiha Yoichi knew that today was Madam Mikota's limit. If he continued, Madam Mikota would just keep apologizing repeatedly. However, watching Madam Mikota bowing and apologizing nonstop was quite amusing, and even her tights were gone, now leaving bare long legs.
Moreover, now with the Body of Confusion, he couldn't do anything with a woman, or else he'd die of dehydration in three minutes.
"Forget it, Madam Mikota, you can go back now."
"Yes, yes, I'm very sorry, Mr. Yoichi."
Mikota, somewhat flustered, bowed again, then picked up the documents and left.
After the person left, Uchiha Yoichi thought with a smile, what an easy-to-deceive lady....
Before long, Uchiha Mikota knocked and came back in, blushing and bowing her head, saying, "Sorry, Mr. Yoichi, may I use the restroom?"
Without waiting for Uchiha Yoichi's response, she walked straight in and came out in less than two minutes, but the bag she brought in clearly had something inside.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi clicked his tongue, seems like she didn't take it away earlier....

Hidden Cloud Village.
On the tower of the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu, a figure suddenly appeared. When the guarding Hidden Cloud Ninja approached to look, they discovered that the person sent back by the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu was the Third Generation Raikage, and he had lost an arm.
"Someone, quickly notify Lord Dodai and call for a Medical Ninja."
Lord Raikage injured?
Many Hidden Cloud Ninja couldn't comprehend this; in their minds, only the rampaging Eight-tailed could hurt Lord Raikage, but how many rampaging Eight-tailed are there in the Ninja World?
Yet the fact was right in front of their eyes, they had no choice but to believe.
Soon, Dodai and the Medical Ninja arrived, treated and bandaged, and after a while, finally took care of the Third Generation Raikage's wound.
Besides the severed arm, the Third Generation Raikage had no other injuries, and the wound had already been carbonized. It took them a long time to deal with it.
"You all go out."
Dodai drove some people out of the room, then asked the Third Generation Raikage, "Lord Raikage, what happened?"
With eyes full of killing intent, the Third Generation Raikage gritted his teeth and said, "Dodai, I want to attack the Land of Fire and kill those Konoha Ninja."
"Alright, I'll send a message to bring back A and Killer Bee. Lord Raikage, you must heal well."
Dodai didn't say anything about the timing being inappropriate or ask how Mabum was doing; now he could only follow the Third Generation Raikage's orders.
But Konoha actually has Ninja capable of injuring Lord Raikage and wiped out all the Ninja that Lord Raikage brought, allowing him to escape through Heavenly Transfer Jutsu; Konoha truly isn't simple.
If they were to start a war against Konoha, they would need to stabilize Hidden Rock Village, or else fighting on two fronts, Hidden Cloud Village would be in trouble; but A and Killer Bee were still on a mission in the Land of Earth, which was quite troubling.
Dodai, while transmitting the message, kept pondering the matter of the war and gathered the upper ranks of Hidden Cloud to discuss this in the Third Generation Raikage's office.
He was the right-hand man of the Raikage, and since Lord Raikage had already decided, he would do his utmost to fulfill it.
After expelling the Third Generation Raikage, many Ninja gathered in the northern part of the Land of Fire.
This was Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, with at least two Ninja Corps stationed on the border, with Mimura Hamaki as the temporary commander, as a precaution against Hidden Cloud Village's sudden arrangement.
If war truly occurred, Sarutobi Hiruzen would certainly arrange for someone else to take over; though Mimura Hamaki had some commanding ability, his strength was insufficient; facing powerful ninja would be at a disadvantage.
At Kikyo Castle, two large-scale ninja battles erupted when Hidden Sand Ninja tried to advance further and attack Kikyo Castle, but Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato repelled them.
Namikaze Minato found dealing with Rasa tough, so on the battlefield, he avoided Rasa actively sought other ninja, leaving Rasa to be handled by his master, Jiraiya.
Jiraiya commanded well, and besides his own considerable strength, combined with Sarutobi Hiruzen's support of ninja troops and medical teams, he twice repelled Hidden Sand Ninja's advances.
Apart from the battle at Kikyo Castle, there was no large-scale war occurring in other parts of the Ninja World.
In Konoha, after Uchiha Yoichi spent six days in the hospital, he was discharged. With the combined treatment of Medical Ninjutsu and medication, his injuries recovered quickly.
This mission was considered a success; first, his reputation within the village soared, nearly acquiring the title of taking down the Third Generation Raikage, shared by him and Hatake Sakumo, now even Jonin of the same village politely called him Jonin Yoichi because of his strength.
Additionally, there was the Six Paths Ninja Tools and Mabum's flesh; once he mastered the Reanimation Jutsu, he'd have a Human-shaped Teleportation Array.
As for other mission rewards, there's no need to mention them; Jonin earn reputation and status in the village, and after this event, Uchiha Yoichi's standing in the village has made quite a leap.
Generally, fame and power are proportional, Hatake Sakumo's fame is enormous, and his strength is great, in Konoha Village, he basically signifies the first Jonin under the Hokage.
