"Uzumaki Mito-sama, did you call me here today to arrange something?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked proactively when he saw Uzumaki Mito stop speaking.
"It's about that child, Uchiha Dan!" Uzumaki Mito smiled, "This child hasn't undergone any training in the most crucial seven years, so he's basically crippled."
"However, you've seen this child's medical talent. I've never seen anyone with such high talent in medical skills and Medical Ninjutsu."
"So, I plan to let this child become a Medical Ninja and contribute to the Village. What do you think?"
"This…" Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought.
He understood Uzumaki Mito.
Although this Adult seemed to be asking, she actually already had an idea in her mind. How could he refuse?
"I don't mean to make things difficult for you!" Uzumaki Mito saw through Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts and continued, "After all, you are the Hokage, and the decision is yours. I'm just offering a small suggestion!"
"Do you know the reason why Tobirama targeted Uchiha Dan back then?" Uzumaki Mito continued to ask.
"I know!" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, answering with some helplessness.
Regarding Uchiha Dan's matter, Senju Tobirama never explained his death, only issuing orders.
As a meticulous man, Senju Tobirama disliked lying and preferred to be straightforward about everything. Even when he was dissatisfied with the Uchiha Clan, he never hid it.
Therefore, for merely suspecting a glance, he truly couldn't explain.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's judgment was the same as Uzumaki Mito's.
"This matter is too childish!" Uzumaki Mito said, displeased, "Tobirama is no longer here, so it's not good for me to speak ill of him."
"If he were here, I would definitely criticise him severely.
"As Hokage, how could he ruin a child's life just because a child in the Village smiled?"
"Is it because he is a child of the Uchiha Clan that he isn't even allowed to smile?"
"Uh…" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked embarrassed; he didn't know what to say either.
"Just say whatever you want!" Uzumaki Mito asked.
Sighing, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "Dan has been suppressed by us for so many years, so it's inevitable that he harbours resentment. His weakness in strength doesn't matter, but I'm worried that once he becomes powerful, it will be detrimental to the Village."
"Your concerns are very reasonable." Uzumaki Mito nodded, agreeing with Hiruzen Sarutobi's statement.
"This is what I think. Tobirama's words should still be heeded." Uzumaki Mito went in a big circle before finally giving her suggestion, "This child missed the best period for growth, and there's no need for him to undergo Ninja training in the future."
"However, this child's medical talent cannot be wasted, so it's better to only allow him to extract Chakra and become an excellent Medical Ninja, contributing to the Village."
"Of course, the surveillance should continue, as I know you are the most obedient to Tobirama's words."
"There's no reason to refuse such a good thing as having another genius Medical Ninja in the Village."
"After all, this child hasn't done anything detrimental to the Village so far, nor has he shown any inclination in that regard."
"If anyone objects, push it onto me. It's not that you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, are disobeying Tobirama's orders; it's that I'm asking you to do this."
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had not yet shown senility, so Uzumaki Mito gave him ample respect.
With everything said, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly couldn't refuse, so he nodded and said, "I agree to this matter!"
Receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's assurance, Uzumaki Mito's mood improved considerably.
Little Tsunade, Grandma can only help you this much.
You handle the rest of the matters yourself!
The longer one lives, the richer their experience naturally becomes compared to others.
Although Tsunade always gritted her teeth and looked as if she wanted to devour Uchiha Dan whenever she mentioned him.
But for a girl of this age to constantly mention a boy's name, what else could it mean?
In Uzumaki Mito's opinion, Tsunade had long since taken Uchiha Dan to heart.
Only Tsunade herself didn't think so.
Of course, that foolish child Uchiha Dan also seemed completely unaware of this, even finding Tsunade annoying.
Regarding the Uchiha Clan, Uzumaki Mito, like Senju Hashirama, had no prejudice.
However, she was too lazy to interfere in matters between children; it was best to let them sort things out themselves.
Namikaze Toneri's home.
"Uncle, I'm home!"
Uchiha Dan, who had returned home from work, saw Namikaze Toneri and shouted.
"Brat, did you lose today?" Namikaze Toneri patted Uchiha Dan's head as a gesture of comfort and asked.
What happened at Konoha Hospital quickly spread, and Namikaze Toneri naturally knew about it.
"Hehe, Uncle, don't worry, I didn't take it to heart at all." Uchiha Dan truly didn't care.
His actions today were merely to provoke Tsunade, hoping to gradually loosen the Village's restrictions on him through Tsunade, making it easier for him to find an opportunity to escape.
"Where's Minato?" Uchiha Dan asked, looking around and seeing that Minato Namikaze wasn't there.
"He's probably still doing extra training!" Namikaze Toneri said with some relief and some worry, "This child is good in every way, except he trains too desperately."
But no sooner had he spoken than Minato Namikaze pushed open the door and ran in.
"Dad, big brother, I'm home."
"Brat, hurry and wash your hands, let's eat."
As for why Uchiha Dan came to Minato Namikaze's house and became his older brother, it all started seven years ago.
Namikaze Toneri and his wife were not Ninja, but civilians of Konoha.
Although Uchiha Dan, after many years of observation, determined that Namikaze Toneri's bloodline was absolutely extraordinary, likely a descendant of an impressive figure.
However, by Namikaze Toneri's generation, he was the only one left in Konoha with the surname Namikaze, so his ancestry could not be traced.
Namikaze Toneri and his wife had been married for almost twenty years without any children, which worried them greatly.
The Namikaze Clan was about to die out!
It just so happened that at that time, under Uchiha Kagami's arrangements, Uchiha Dan was sent out of the Uchiha Clan and had no further connection with them.
Namikaze Toneri, who was desperate, immediately felt that the child who moved next door to his house had a strong connection with him and directly applied for adoption.
No biological son, but an adopted son was also good.
Especially after Uchiha Dan came home, he was very respectful and filial to them, which made Namikaze Toneri and his wife extremely satisfied.
As a result, only two months after Uchiha Dan moved in, Namikaze Toneri's wife was found to be pregnant.
Fortunately, Namikaze Toneri and his wife were extremely kind people; not only did they not dislike Uchiha Dan, but they were afraid he would be sad and treated him even better.
Since then, the family has lived happily together until now.
"Brother!" At the dinner table, Minato Namikaze glanced at the doorway and whispered, "Can you spend more time with me today?"
"Haha, of course, no problem!" Uchiha Dan stroked Minato Namikaze's small golden head and agreed without hesitation.
This was a secret code between the two brothers.
Minato Namikaze had shown extremely high talent since childhood, and a year ago, he officially enrolled in the Ninja Academy, beginning his study life.
However, most of his Ninjutsu knowledge was actually taught by Uchiha Dan.
Even Namikaze Toneri didn't know about this.
When Minato Namikaze said "Spend more time with me," outsiders would think it was due to his deep affection for his brother.
But in reality, this sentence meant: I have many questions about cultivation that I want to ask you. Can you not work overtime today?
