"Illusion Technique... Nai..."
Just after finishing the sealing, Yuhi Kurenai saw a pair of red pupils, three Tamoe slowly rotating. The next second, her consciousness blurred, and her eyes lost their sparkle.
The same thing happened to Hyuga Satomi. She had just posed in the Gentle Fist stance. If they fought in the ward, they would definitely be scolded by the nurses.
Chishima Ichihiko hurriedly explained, "Teacher Yoichi, I didn't attack!"
'I know. Go get me a marker.'
After receiving Uchiha Yoichi's order, Chishima Ichihiko quickly brought a pen and handed it to Uchiha Yoichi.
Uchiha Yoichi took the pen and wrote four words on the faces of Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Satomi: 'Train Well.'
'Alright, you can go now. Their illusion should wear off once they leave Konoha Hospital.'
Then Uchiha Yoichi waved his hand, and Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Satomi walked out of the ward like puppets. Chishima Ichihiko quickly followed them.
After leaving the hospital, Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Satomi regained their clarity. They looked confused and said, "How did I get here?"
"You were just trying to ambush Teacher Yoichi, but you got hypnotized by his Sharingan. By the way, you should wash your face first."
Chishima Ichihiko reminded them, and then Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Satomi noticed the words on their faces. Yuhi Kurenai clenched her fists in anger, "I must succeed in the ambush!"
Hyuga Satomi sighed and said, "Kurenai, Teacher Yoichi is too strong. Although he's only a few years older than us, I feel like he's even stronger than our Clan Leader. Maybe we should give up."
"No, there must be a way..."
Yuhi Kurenai didn't plan to give up, but she and Hyuga Satomi decided to wash their faces first. Then she intended to wait for her father's return to ask him if there's a way to deal with the Sharingan.
--------------------------
"Fugaku, I'm leaving this matter to you. However, it's not a demand. The village needs this right now and can trade something in return. If he's willing, even a Forbidden Technique is acceptable. If you are busy, you can also ask someone from the Uchiha Race who has a good relationship with Mr. Yoichi to convey this."
Sarutobi Hiruzen kindly said to Uchiha Fugaku. The Amber Purifying Pot has been returned to Uchiha Yoichi, but this Six Paths Ninja Tool is of great help to the village, so he plans to negotiate a trade with Uchiha Yoichi.
But he heard that the relationship between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yoichi wasn't very good, so Sarutobi Hiruzen subtly suggested that Uchiha Fugaku find someone else.
Since Uchiha Yoichi had just made a major contribution, it wasn't easy to bring this up. Plus, in the Uchiha Race, only Uchiha Fugaku could speak up.
"I understand, Lord Third."
Uchiha Fugaku felt uncertain, but he agreed. He planned to discuss it with Elder Kenji when he returned. If the other side doesn't agree, there's nothing he can do.
Being Clan Leader was stifling for him. Yoichi's ambition to become Clan Leader was obvious, forcing him to make some changes.
Completing night patrols and missions to earn a good reputation for the Security Team.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Fugaku was deep in thought about the matter. When he snapped out of it, he was already standing at his doorstep.
"Clan Leader, you're back."
Seeing Fugaku return, Uchiha Kazuki quickly came to the door to help him with his shoes, then continued, "Madam Mikota is busy, Young Master Itachi just finished eating and is learning to read. I'll prepare lunch for you, Clan Leader."
Due to the Security Team's rotating patrol shifts, Uchiha Fugaku sometimes missed mealtime.
After eating, Uchiha Fugaku went to the study room, which was previously a bedroom but is now often used by Uchiha Mikota for handling tasks and paperwork.
After knocking on the door, he opened it and went inside.
"Fugaku, you're back?"
Mikota looked up at him, then returned to her tasks. She was summarizing recent activities to send over to Uchiha Yoichi.
"Mikota, what are you doing?"
"Summarizing recent earnings. The first week's sales of the Ninja Game are out. I didn't expect a game to make so much money; also, the clan members' needs are summarized. We might need to decide how to handle it next... Fugaku, do you want to see?"
Mikota hesitated but asked. However, she felt a bit unwilling as it felt like being a spy. But if she didn't do it, Fugaku would always ask her to.
"That guy can really stir things up, especially now during wartime, hmph!"
Uchiha Fugaku unceremoniously picked up a few sheets to read. Seeing that the first week's revenue from the Ninja Game was nine million ryō, he felt a bit resentful.
Such sly methods, the money earned would definitely be used to win over the clan members!
Next to him, Mikota saw Uchiha Fugaku casually pick up the documents. She initially wanted to remind him that she had organized them, but after thinking it over, she decided to say nothing.
"Fugaku, did you come looking for me for something?"
"Just to see you, Mikota. Are you going to report these matters to that guy later?"
Ever since knowing Uchiha Yoichi completed the task of repelling the Hidden Cloud Squad and even broke the Third Generation Raikage's arm, Uchiha Fugaku referred to him as "that guy." Additionally, seeing the businesses in Uchiha Yoichi's hands increasingly bring in money, which is then used to win over the clan members, made him uneasy.
"These aren't urgent. Besides, isn't Uchiha Yoichi hospitalized with injuries? Let's wait until he gets out."
"Hmm... Mikota, why don't you go today and pass along the Third Generation Hokage's request? The Third Generation wants to negotiate with him..."
Uchiha Fugaku suddenly brought up the matter Sarutobi Hiruzen entrusted, asking Mikota to mention it first. He would also consult Elder Kenji, and if that didn't work, then he was out of options.
After thinking it over, Mikota said, "Alright then, I'll go see him on your behalf and mention this issue...."
Uchiha Fugaku, upon hearing this, felt somewhat opposed to the idea made in his name. He didn't care at all about what happened to the rebellious clan member Uchiha Yoichi. However, since Mikota was helping him with this matter, he frowned and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Fugaku nod, Uchiha Mikota tidied herself up and prepared to leave.
But as she reached the doorway, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly called out to her and asked, "Mikota, what are you wearing?"
Mikota looked down at her outfit and replied, "This? It's a suit that merchants wear outside, why, Fugaku?"
"Nothing..."
Uchiha Fugaku waved it off. It was just that his wife's outfit seemed a bit inappropriate as the skirt was too short. But since others were wearing it, it wasn't his place to comment.
Mikota then departed with the documents.
On her way, she bought some fruits, considering it's customary to bring gifts when visiting someone hospitalized.
However, while walking down the street, Mikota continuously felt the eyes of others on her.
After arriving at Konoha Hospital and finding out which ward Uchiha Yoichi was in, Uchiha Mikota made her way upstairs.
Uchiha Yoichi lacked nothing, and neither did the Uchiha Race. So he had a private hospital room.
After knocking, the door quickly opened, but to Mikota's surprise, it was a black-haired, red-eyed young girl who opened it. Thus, Mikota hesitantly asked, "Excuse me, I'm looking for Uchiha Yoichi. I might be at the wrong place...."
"You're in the right place. Teacher Yoichi is here. Please come in."
Seeing that the person outside was a very pretty woman in a short skirt and suit, Yuhi Kurenai honestly replied.
Once Mikota entered and saw Uchiha Yoichi, who had just had his medication changed, she said, "Mr. Yoichi, I'm here on Fugaku's behalf to visit you..."
"Come in, but you all should head back soon. Spend more time training; you'll likely be heading to the battlefield soon...."
Uchiha Yoichi spoke with difficulty. After two days of treatment, he could talk without much issue, but long conversations were still a challenge.
After Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Satomi left, Mikota sat down. Her outfit made Uchiha Yoichi's eyes brighten.
The fitted suit emphasized her slim waist, and the short skirt perfectly highlighted her round, delicate curves, complemented by barely seen tights, showcasing Madame Mikota's long legs.
Indeed, Madame Mikota should always dress this way, vastly different from the experiences with Minami's stockings.
After a quick glance, Uchiha Yoichi asked, "Madam Mikota, what brings you to see me?"
