Konan and Kisame had left.
Rengoku saw that it was not early anymore, so he also returned home.
Kaori had already moved in to live together with Ryuri.
Now every time he returned home, he could sense the presence of the two people.
That also made him feel much more at ease.
After Rengoku lay down, his consciousness shifted.
———
It directly arrived at Naruto's side. Naruto had not been able to go out for the whole day.
He could only do some cleaning chores at home.
However, with someone accompanying Naruto, Naruto was not too bored.
Although the Anbu's reason for Naruto was that it was still dangerous outside, and he was not allowed to go out.
But while Naruto no longer trusted the Third Hokage, he likewise no longer had any good feelings towards these Anbu.
Because he understood that these Anbu were all here to monitor him.
Kushina also felt very distressed, but she currently had no good solution.
The situation was stronger than the person. She couldn't even recognize Naruto.
That would only increase Naruto's danger.
Rengoku's hand pressed on Naruto's head, and very quickly appeared in his consciousness space.
"Kushina, I've come to learn sealing techniques."
There was some anxiety on Kushina's face, "Rengoku, think of a way. Naruto is always being locked up like this, it's not a solution."
Rengoku naturally understood Naruto's personality. Being locked up at home every day must be very hard to endure.
At this moment, he could only comfort her, "Let Naruto make more demands, books, food, TV. If they don't give them, then raise a fuss about going out."
"Don't worry, they won't be able to lock Naruto up for many days."
"I'm already the principal of the ninja academy now."
"As soon as the school renovations are completed, I'll have other ways."
Kushina could only suppress the frustration in her heart, "Then I'll start teaching you sealing techniques first."
"Okay…"
———
The next two days' time.
Rengoku spent his mornings at home practicing sealing techniques. In the afternoons, he would go to the training ground to guide his clansmen, and in the evenings he would go to Kushina's place to learn sealing techniques.
Fugaku had already announced the details of the future mission deployment rules.
In the future, every time the clan would retain 30% of the personnel, and 30% could go out on missions.
Of course, the quotas had to be competed for. If one wanted to go out on a mission, one had to work hard.
Within the Uchiha clan, there was relatively less scheming and infighting. Everyone recognized strength.
The fighting at the training ground had also become more intense.
Naturally, the number of injured people also increased.
Although they were all external injuries, few Uchihas actually knew medical ninjutsu.
Most people still just bandaged themselves. Recovery like this was actually relatively slow.
The reason they didn't go to the Konoha Hospital was because during treatment, chakra would pass through the patient's body.
It was easy to probe all sorts of data and secrets of the patient.
Of course, if one wanted to make a move in secret, that was also very easy.
The hospital was basically under the Third Hokage's control, so of course the Uchiha didn't trust the hospital staff.
After discovering this point, Rengoku felt that the Uchiha should cultivate some medical ninja.
But at the current stage, they could only make do for now.

[Hyuga Clan Grounds]
After arranging the relatively low-ranked Hyuga Sota as the fourth elder, the Great Elder Sarumito specifically came to find Hiashi.
"Hiashi, why did you choose Sota?"
At this time, Hiashi had always been the type who wanted everyone to get along. Being this assertive was the first time.
Hiashi picked up a teacup and lightly sipped it, "Great Elder, the people you all recommended each lead quite a few followers."
"Moreover… they are all close to you few people, right."
Sarumito didn't expect Hiashi to be so sharp. The awkwardness on his face flashed and disappeared.
"No matter what, Sota is still too young."
Hiashi put down the teacup, "The clan elder is just a mouthpiece, only needs to convey our orders."
"The best candidate is someone like this, who doesn't form factions."
Sarumito was silent for a moment, knowing this was Hiashi balancing the few elders.
Ever since Hizashi died, Hiashi's desire to control the Hyuga clan had grown much stronger.
Many times, the Great Elder could no longer influence Hiashi's decisions.
After all, the one who let Hizashi die in Hiashi's place was the Great Elder's idea.
"You couldn't not know how Koshin died, right?"
The Great Elder didn't oppose openly, but instead brought it up indirectly.
When Sota came back, he had reported how Koshin had died. The Third Hokage's side also specially sent people to speak about this matter.
The Third Hokage's side clearly had bad intentions.
But in reality, Koshin clearly had resentment toward both the Third Hokage and the main family.
Koshin's final actions before death avenged Hizashi, and directly pushed the Hyuga clan out of the Third Hokage's power circle.
Forcing the Hyuga clan to stand on the opposite side of the Third Hokage.
Now appointing Sota, who was close to Koshin, as elder, was clearly dangerous.
Hiashi responded, "I know."
"But this time, our Hyuga clan only lost Koshin alone, which clearly shows this was his individual action."
"Otherwise, the Sarutobi clan people wouldn't have suffered so few casualties."
When the Great Elder slightly nodded.
Hiashi continued, "Sota has already brought back Koshin's hospital examination report."
"Koshin's body was in very bad shape, he probably had only about five years left to live, that's why he did such an extreme thing."
This, the Great Elder really didn't know. Upon hearing this, he was a bit shocked, "Koshin's body was actually in such bad condition?"
Hiashi confirmed, "He hadn't gone out in all these years, not because he became an elder, but because his body wouldn't allow it."
"Koshin's other information, Sota has also reported truthfully."
"From current observation, Sota is still not bad as the fourth elder."
After hearing Hiashi say this, the Great Elder Sarumito also tacitly approved, "Alright then, let him do it for now."

[Hyuga Main Family Courtyard]
Everyone was together, waiting for Sota to assign missions.
Because of this attack on Konoha, more people wanted to come to Konoha to search for information.
The past two days Konoha had been unstable, and the Hyuga clan's patrol missions were still quite heavy.
In fact, when Koshin wasn't around in the past, Sota was also the one who conveyed instructions.
But now Sota himself had taken the elder position, so the meaning was different.
"Tokuma, continue monitoring the north wall zones 1 to 10…"
"Kou, you go with Mitsu to monitor the south wall…"
Sota held a notebook in his hand, constantly issuing tasks.
Everything was done in an orderly manner, without a single oversight.
This made some clan members who were hesitant inside feel relieved. Looks like even though Elder Koshin wasn't here anymore, Sota was also very suitable.
The ones whose names were called by Sota soon led their teams away.
Until finally only Yuto, Mutou, Shuji, and several people behind them remained.
All these people were members of the New Sprout Project, all of them had gone through very long observation before being recruited.
When these people were left behind alone by Sota, everyone looked at Sota with surprise.
