It was a great help to Uchiha Yoichi, otherwise he would have needed to create at least two Wood Clones to handle things.
When Hyuga Satomi returned, she immediately smiled and expressed gratitude to Uchiha Yoichi, because the Byakugan that was lost had already been ordered by Hyuga Hiashi, in the name of the Clan Leader, for Hyuga Satomi to enjoy the same Main Family treatment in the clan.
The Caged Bird will not be used on her, and she can practice all the Main Family's secret techniques, although Hyuga Satomi has already learned Revolving Heaven, there are still secret techniques like Air Palm and Mountain-breaking Strike.
Although, due to her identity as Uchiha Yoichi's student, the Main Family of Hyuga dare not use methods like Caged Bird on Hyuga Satomi, but Hyuga Hiashi speaking up has brought the matter to light.
Because of the Caged Bird, the Byakugan is almost the hardest Kekkei Genkai to pass on, other Ninja Villages cannot obtain it despite all their efforts; the Byakugan lost to the Hidden Mist is indelible shame for the Main Family.
Hyuga Satomi bringing the Byakugan back essentially helped the Main Family erase this shame, although Hyuga Hiashi knew it was Uchiha Yoichi's work, without Hyuga Satomi, they could not have reclaimed the Byakugan.
"Teacher Yoichi, thank you so much this time, in the future the Main Family will never bother me again... By the way, the Clan Leader also said he would like to invite you to our home for tea sometime, my sister's tea is delicious~"
Hyuga Satomi sweetly smiled and said to Uchiha Yoichi, if it weren't for Teacher Yoichi, as a Branch Family member, she would never have obtained such high status in the clan, even though her sister married Hyuga Hiashi.
Uchiha Yoichi smiled and said, "I will visit when I have time someday; I happen to have something I want to discuss with the Hyuga Clan Leader. But the Byakugan is nothing to worry about, Satomi, don't dwell on it too much."
"Gratitude is necessary, Teacher Yoichi...."
Halfway through speaking, Hyuga Satomi noticed Yuhi Kurenai coming over with tea, so she stopped what she was going to say, obediently picked up a stack of documents, and returned to her seat to prepare for work.
Uchiha Yoichi took one look, then said to the two of them, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Understood, Teacher Yoichi."
"Leave it to us, Teacher Yoichi."
Two disciples smiled sweetly, making Uchiha Yoichi feel at ease as he left.
However, he still left behind a clone here, and after the body left, Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Satomi entered into work mode.
As the village population grows, the Hokage Building has more and more to manage, and even though this is the Hokage Assistant Office, nearly everything big and small in the village gets sent here.
Some of the more important matters, once the Hokage Assistant Office is done handling them, are sent to Hatake Sakumo for a look; usually, out of ten documents sent, Sakumo will only glance at one before letting others handle it.
After leaving the Hokage Office, Uchiha Yoichi routinely went to Konoha Hospital.
Tsunade did not wish to reside with the Uchiha Race, so Uchiha Yoichi could only accompany her during the day or sneak into her room at night using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and sleep sweetly embracing her.
"Tsunade... why have you changed into loose clothes?"
Upon seeing Tsunade, Uchiha Yoichi immediately noticed something amiss; her eternal attire had suddenly changed... well, not changed exactly, it's just that the waistline was missing, and the upper clothes naturally hung down.
"Humph, take a guess, you shy little ghost!"
Tsunade showed a somewhat smug smile, folding her arms and speaking.
"Could it be..."
Uchiha Yoichi, now a father of two, immediately sensed Tsunade's lower abdomen with his spiritual power, and indeed detected a faint life form.
So he stepped closer to Tsunade, gently caressing the lower abdomen, and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier about this? Take a break from your research for now, don't rush it, I will talk to Orochimaru... his Heroic Water and Orochi Kinjutsu projects should have been halted long ago, it's a waste of funds."
"You silly guy, Orochimaru will fight you!"
Tsunade laughed herself, then continued, "I was planning on letting go recently too, even if you didn't come by today, I was going to discuss it with you; your previous reminder brought significant success regarding the Desperate Virus."
"However, not all bloodline genes can be successfully integrated; the Ice Release Bloodline is problematic, the fusion causes the Desperate Virus to become even more uncontrollable; but my grandfather's Wood Release Bloodline and Dead Bone Pulse are rare, and the Desperate Virus can leverage both bloodline advantages...."
Tsunade explained to Uchiha Yoichi and showed him the test subjects.
The Desperate Virus, after integrating with bloodline genes, enhances bloodline effects and transfers them to the host; for instance, mice injected with Dead Bone Pulse Desperate Virus have bone hardness three times that of mice injected with Wood Release Bloodline Desperate Virus.
But mice injected with Wood Release Bloodline Desperate Virus have strong recovery power; after losing limbs, they recover within three seconds.
Other mice injected with Desperate Virus don't have such strong recovery power, taking at least seven or eight seconds.
After recovering limbs, the mice require a lot of nutrient solution, otherwise, they become gaunt, as energy doesn't create itself out of nowhere, the Desperate Virus only alters brain programming as a gene virus.
After explaining, Tsunade angrily said, "I researched for years to create the Strength of a Hundred Seal, but now the Desperate Virus is successful, the seal's abilities are totally replaced...."
Uchiha Yoichi comforted her, "It's your achievement too, with the Desperate Virus, Nawaki's safety will improve a lot... but the most important thing now is your matter, since the research is completed, let's leave it to Orochimaru."
Then, Uchiha Yoichi created a Wood Clone, signaled it, and let the clone leave.
"You're really using Orochimaru alone, but the Desperate Virus creation is very precise, I'll choose a few people at Konoha Hospital."
Tsunade chuckled, and blocking Uchiha Yoichi's mischievous hand, asked, "You sent a clone to Orochimaru?"
"No, I went to see Shizune, told her to go home and collect the alcohol, it's banned for a year."
"What?"
Tsunade angrily flipped over, sitting on Uchiha Yoichi, twisting his neck, and said, "No way, I absolutely don't agree, it will be a problem without alcohol...."
"Forget it, Tsunade, otherwise I will accompany you daily."
Uchiha Yoichi completely ignored Tsunade's resistance, he already sent a clone to give Shizune time off, so she could supervise Tsunade.
No matter how much Tsunade pleaded, he did not compromise, even when she used a gentle tone, Uchiha Yoichi did not relent.
Tsunade's drinking habits are without care, assuming that her medical ninjutsu is powerful, she's quite careless; this is her first pregnancy, she has to be cautious.
In the end, Tsunade frustratedly gave up persuading Uchiha Yoichi, her eyes moving, surely scheming something unfavorable.
"By the way, how is Kushina? I was thinking of visiting her recently; is she okay?"
"She should be fine, I sent her to the Jinchuriki testing grounds on Turtle Island in the Hidden Cloud Village, where she can confront the darkness within...."
Uchiha Yoichi expressionlessly replied, but in his heart, he plans to visit Kushina at some point....
——————————————
"Teacher Orochimaru, what's wrong?"
Returning to the village, Nawaki noticed Orochimaru's sudden shift in expression and thought something might have happened, thus he drew his Kunai and became cautious of the surroundings.
However, Orochimaru sighed, patted Nawaki on the shoulder, and said, "Nawaki, your sister and Uchiha Yoichi are too much, next you and Anko will take on the B-Class tasks; by the way, you need to come back with me...."
