"Third Hokage-sama, Ita is suspected to be a spy planted by Root. Not long ago, someone saw him go to Root headquarters."
Soon after Uchiha Itachi left for Root headquarters, an Anbu ninja arrived at the Hokage Office to report.
"I understand. You may leave."
Although he outwardly showed great trust in Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly sent people to monitor him.
What he didn't know was that many of the Anbu members he sent to watch Uchiha Itachi were Root sleeper agents.
"Itachi and Danzo..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply as he puffed on his pipe in the office.
He guarded day and night, but he still couldn't prevent it.
Uchiha Itachi ultimately couldn't be tamed.
"Have the Kirigakure's Esteemed Guest been settled? If there are no issues, have Uchiha Kage come see me."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
----
After the Chunin Exams preliminary written test, it's still the Death Forest? This Hokage really has no originality.
Orochimaru, wearing a human skin mask and disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, was questioning his subordinate, who was also disguised as a Kazekage guard.
"Are there any promising candidates in this Chunin Exams?"
Orochimaru had been short on funds and manpower lately.
So, in addition to completing the "mission objective" of destroying Konoha, he also wanted to "procure" some goods (kidnap some people) from Konoha to take back.
And preferably…
"Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, and Sunagakure's Gaara..."
"Uchiha Sasuke? The only survivor after the clan extermination?"
Hearing the Uchiha name, Orochimaru's eyes lit up.
Because dealing with the Kazekage had caused Kimimaro's body to become so ill that he couldn't use it, he had to settle for possessing the body of a talented woman.
But what he wanted most was an Uchiha body.
The Sharingan, especially the Mangekyo Sharingan, was too much of a threat to a ninjutsu-based ninja like him.
Every time he recalled Uchiha Itachi's genius, every time he recalled being instantly killed by the boy's gaze in Akatsuki, Orochimaru felt not only resentment but also a strong desire.
In all these years of experimentation, he had long understood that in this Ninja World, ordinary humans have limits. If you want to become stronger, you can only--obtain a rarer bloodline!
That's why he valued the Living Corpse Reincarnation Forbidden Technique so much.
"The only two, Orochimaru-sama, but the other Uchiha didn't participate in this Chunin Exams."
"The only two? But if he doesn't even dare to participate in the Chunin Exams, he must be a mediocrity. But I'll have to test this Uchiha Sasuke myself."
Orochimaru was quite concerned about his future body.
"Next, you will impersonate the Kazekage, Kabuto."
"Yes!"
Yakushi Kabuto respectfully accepted the human skin mask from Orochimaru.
----
After Uchiha Kage led Terumi Mei and the others on a leisurely tour of Konoha's famous scenic spots, they arrived at a well-built Post Station Mansion.
Compared to Kirigakure, Konoha was indeed much better.
But Terumi Mei thought that in the future, she might be able to build Kirigakure even better than Konoha.
Just like in the dream... that Kirigakure Village.
But before that, she had to snatch this Uchiha boy back as the 'Mizukage's Madam'.
The Hokage should soon relay the contents of the Marriage Certificate to him.
Before that, she had to figure out if this boy had any feelings for her.
If he did, everyone would be happy. If he didn't... she would force him!
"Alright, the environment here should be pretty good. I won't go in. Farewell."
Although it was fun to wander around Konoha Village with a beautiful woman, he was getting a little tired of being watched by Hinata and Yuhi Kurenai, who were hiding nearby.
He should go back and rest first.
And it was time to deal with Samui's identity issue.
Uchiha Kage thought.
"Wait..."
Terumi Mei first dismissed the two Mizukage guards behind her to check the rooms in the mansion, and then quickly stopped Uchiha Kage, who was about to leave.
"There's something I want to ask you."
No longer using the seductive Big Sister tone from before, Terumi Mei spoke in a very serious tone this time.
And the look in her eyes as she looked at Uchiha Kage was also very clear.
"What is it?"
Seeing Terumi Mei's suddenly serious expression, Uchiha Kage was a little confused.
"Do you want to come live in Kirigakure Village?"
"No."
Although Kirigakure Village had a more serene environment, and you could see the sea at any time, Uchiha Kage still preferred Konoha.
"You..."
Rejected so bluntly as soon as she opened her mouth, most of the courage Terumi Mei had mustered up instantly dissipated.
"Is it because you hate me? I was being unreasonable before, and always targeting you..."
"Of course not, I..."
Every previous confrontation had turned into a romantic encounter between the two. Uchiha Kage couldn't feel any animosity towards this Kirigakure Female Ninja.
Not to mention that she had been "serving" him every night recently, listening to the beautiful sound of the Silver Bell jingling on her ankle.
She was also the Female Ninja he had experimented with the most, although she was still an NPC. But occasionally, she would take the initiative to hug him in the dream, almost as much as Hinata and Yuhi Kurenai did.
Maybe one day she would become real.
However, just as Uchiha Kage was about to say something, a ninja wearing a Sunagakure forehead protector and a white turban walked out of the Post Station Mansion.
"Hello."
After seeing Uchiha Kage and Terumi Mei, the ninja who unexpectedly appeared in front of them greeted them politely.
However, after noticing Uchiha Kage's face, he showed a rather surprised expression for a moment.
He seemed to have seen this Uchiha somewhere a long time ago!?
Orochimaru?
Similarly, Uchiha Kage guessed the identity of the person from the snake-like pupils he revealed and the powerful Chakra emanating from his body.
"So it's a Esteemed Guest from Sunagakure Village. Is there something on my face?"
Although they had a relatively brief encounter a long time ago, Orochimaru's memory was still quite good to remember his face even now.
Temporarily ignoring Terumi Mei beside him, Uchiha Kage took the initiative to look at Orochimaru.
"No, it's nothing. I just mistook you for someone else."
Four or fifty years had passed. How could the guy who was always with Tsunade still be just a teenager?
It was impossible for him to have used a Forbidden Technique like Living Corpse Reincarnation to rejuvenate himself, just like him.
So, it was probably just someone who looked similar.
It was just a brief moment of absent-mindedness before Orochimaru recovered his composure instantly.
There were quite a few people in the Ninja World who looked alike. There was nothing to be surprised about.
However, even the people from Kirigakure Village had come to Konoha? And it looked like it might be the Mizukage?
After calming down, Orochimaru focused more of his attention on Terumi Mei.
However, it was only a fleeting glance before he continued to walk forward without looking back.
Although the arrival of the people from Kirigakure Village was indeed a variable, it didn't matter.
He would destroy Konoha sooner or later. No one could defend it. He said so!
"Hey, since you don't hate me, then you..."
Although it was a little upsetting to be interrupted by a random passerby, Terumi Mei stubbornly wanted to continue asking about the boy's feelings.
If he didn't hate her, then he liked her, right?
So... what day should she set the wedding date?
"Konoha seems to be very unsafe recently. It's best not to run around at night."
But Uchiha Kage, who had been focusing all his attention on Orochimaru, automatically filtered out Terumi Mei's question.
And after Orochimaru left, he also left the spot.
"Are you worried about me?"
He really does have me in his heart.
Terumi Mei happily felt colorful bubbles rising in her heart.
"Hey!"
But why was he running so fast? She still had something to say!
Was he shy?
That's right, he was still so young. He definitely couldn't resist her, a Big Sister's, advances.
Seriously, it seemed like she had to act a little more pure in front of him in the In the future...
Phew
She was very pure originally. She hadn't even kissed any other boys until now!
Well... the ones in the dream didn't count!
Looking at Uchiha Kage's departing figure, Terumi Mei couldn't help but fantasize again.
---
"Chunin Exams? Death Forest?"
After seeing the direction Orochimaru went, Uchiha Kage temporarily stopped.
It seemed that the plot was still going in the direction of the original story...
Was Orochimaru's target still Sasuke?
Hmm, that was really a difficult thing to stop.
After all, Sasuke was to Orochimaru, in a way, like he was to Sasuke.
They were both father figures.
So, the question was, given his influence on Sasuke, and Sasuke's reciprocal influence on Orochimaru, what was the connection between him and Orochimaru?
Let Sasuke suffer a beating from Orochimaru for now.
After getting the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Sasuke had become a little arrogant. It would be good for him to feel the difference in strength between him and ninjas like Orochimaru.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing if this kid kept clamoring to leave the Village to fight Uchiha Itachi.
Remembering that he had to report to Sarutobi Hiruzen later, Uchiha Kage didn't continue following Orochimaru.
He should go back to his residence and arrange things for Samui first.
"Come out, Samui."
Uchiha Kage released Samui from the Dream Space like he was summoning a Pokemon.
"This is... Konoha?"
Appearing in front of Uchiha Kage, Samui didn't need an introduction. She quickly confirmed that this must be Konoha.
Because, not far away, the Hokage Rock, carved with the faces of the four Hokage, was enough to let her know where this was.
"From today on, you're one of the members of my Anbu Squad."
Looking at Samui, who was wearing Konoha Anbu attire, Uchiha Kage thoughtfully handed her an Anbu Mask with a cat face.
"Wear a mask more often in the In the future, and try not to take it off outside."
"Hmph, Anbu Squad? How could a Genin like you..."
After a brief moment of surprise, Samui was still as cold as ever.
But despite her tough words, she still took the mask from Uchiha Kage and put it on her face.
"I'm already a Chunin now, and also a Squad Leader of Konoha Anbu."
Uchiha Kage was strongly tempted by Samui.
Just like every time he went to the Hokage Office in the Dream Space, he would target Tsunade's big breasts first.
"So, don't doubt that I can kill your Three Disciples who are imprisoned in Konoha's Cell at any time."
"You!"
Samui had gradually gotten used to this guy's actions.
But hearing him threaten her with her disciples again, she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely with murderous eyes.
"Of course, if you're obedient and sensible, and listen to my orders, I might be able to release your disciples."
"Really?"
Although she knew that this guy might be making empty promises, Samui still felt a glimmer of hope.
"Yeah, release them so they can reunite with your younger brother."
"Hmph..."
She shouldn't have had any expectations for this guy after all.
Samui snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Speaking of which, a lot of things have happened in this Konoha Park."
Maybe it was because he had seen Orochimaru, but Uchiha Kage also had a desire to confide in someone.
Especially since there was no one else around, and the only person who could hear him was this Female Ninja whom he regarded as his captive.
She was the perfect person to confide in.
"Back then, Jiraiya tricked Orochimaru and me here. That guy was really outgoing back then..."
At that time, Uchiha Kage was just a child under ten years old. Senju Tobirama didn't tear his face off either. Besides being studied every day, he spent the rest of his time acting as Tsunade's, the Konoha Princess's, follower and bodyguard.
And that day, because it was the First Hokage's memorial day, and his parents had died early, Tsunade was in a very bad mood.
So, Jiraiya found him and Orochimaru under the pretext of amusing Tsunade, hoping that the two of them would help him stage a 'Hero Saves Beauty' act for Tsunade.
But in reality, his motive was very impure.
So, without a doubt, the final result was that Jiraiya and Orochimaru were both beaten up by Tsunade.
"Every time I walk to this place, I think of that incident."
Even though it was embarrassing, it had become a past event that was worth laughing about after so many years.
Of course, that wasn't the only thing that happened that day...
"You and the Sannin? When you were a kid?"
Samui stopped believing this guy's nonsense halfway through.
And she looked up and down at the lying Little Kid.
At most, he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old brat. Apart from that place... being overly developed, how could he possibly be a ninja from the same era as the Sannin?
"What's wrong? I'm also in my fifties this year. Don't I look like it?"
Although his body was still that of a teenager, he was indeed in his fifties in the Ninja World, according to his birth date.
Just like Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru.
"Hmph... This is the first time I've discovered your humorous side, but don't expect me to like you for it, you're still a scumbag."
Did he want to make her let down her guard by using this kind of lying method?
No way!
Samui only thought that this guy was talking nonsense.
"Okay, okay, since you don't want to laugh, then I'll just make you cry later."
Uchiha Kage spread his hands helplessly.
Seriously, this was the only time he wanted to tell the truth, but no one believed him.
"You!"
She knew that whether she was locked in that strange space or placed outside, she couldn't escape being violated by him.
It was just a matter of time.
"Don't glare. The front is where I live in Anbu. This will be your house in the In the future."
After taking Samui through Konoha and arriving at a quiet apartment, Uchiha Kage asked the fierce Female Ninja, who had been glaring at him the whole way, if her eyes would get dry, and finally put down the hand that was patting her butt.
However, to his surprise, there seemed to be other people in the room.
"Yugao Sister?"
As soon as he opened the door, Uchiha Kage saw the Female Ninja, Uzuki Yugao, who was squatting in the small apartment, helping him tidy up the room and clean the dust off the floor.
He didn't expect this Sister, whom he had casually acknowledged, to actually be like an Sister. She even helped him clean his room after he left Konoha.
"Kage? You're back?"
Although she had become somewhat immune to Uchiha Kage's behavior of calling her Sister, Yugao couldn't help but blush when she suddenly heard it again after not hearing it for so long.
"Yeah, Yugao Sister, are you helping me clean?"
"Yes, I saw that you haven't been back recently, so there should be a lot of dust. I thought I'd come over and help you clean up."
After tidying up the room, Yugao focused her gaze on Uchiha Kage, who had returned to Konoha, and the blond Female Ninja beside him, who was wearing an Anbu Mask but had a very hot figure.
"Who is this?"
Was she a new Anbu? How come she had never seen her before...
Yugao Sister's face was full of curiosity.
"She's a Rogue Ninja I rescued during a mission. Because she said she wanted to repay me for saving her life, she kept following me. No matter how much I tried to drive her away, I simply brought her back to the Village."
Uchiha Kage casually gave Samui the identity of a Rogue Ninja who planned to turn over a new leaf.
"..."
And Samui was full of resentment towards his "setting."
What life-saving grace, and driving her away?
It was clear that this guy had imprisoned her and shamelessly threatened her with her brother and disciples' lives!
If she could get away from this guy, she would have run away the first chance she got.
"A Rogue Ninja? Is she reliable?"
So she was a ninja he brought back from outside, but a life-saving grace...
Yugao looked at the blond Female Ninja's figure again.
This Uchiha younger brother wouldn't have been seduced by her beauty, right?
What if she was a spy from another village...
"She's very reliable. No matter what I tell her to do, she'll obey obediently. So I plan to put her in my Anbu Squad."
"I see. Then have her come to Anbu to find me tomorrow, and I'll help her register."
But no matter what, she was better than Uchiha Itachi.
Seeing that Uchiha Kage was full of confidence, Yugao slightly relaxed her scrutiny of Samui.
"Then thank you, Yugao Sister."
With Yugao Sister's help, Uchiha Kage wouldn't need to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen to get Samui in.
"What's her name?"
Yugao had long regarded Uchiha Kage as a real younger brother.
Of course, she wouldn't refuse to help with such a small matter.
"Her name is Yiyi. It's a pretty name, right?"
Uchiha Kage casually gave Samui a fake name again.
But it wasn't a fake name, right? He planned to call her that in bed in the In the future.
"..."
And she was crowned with such a "shameful" name - at least, it was quite shameful in Samui's eyes.
Samui trembled with anger when she heard this name.
If there wasn't someone else here, she would definitely punch this guy's chin hard.
"It's quite nice."
Why did she feel that this Rogue Ninja's eyes and even her body were a little strange?
Although she couldn't see her face through the mask, Yugao still noticed something wrong with Samui.
However, compared to these small matters, she had an important matter to discuss with Uchiha Kage.
She had been holding the matter of Gekko Hayate in her heart recently, and she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Kage, listen to me..."
"Is Yugao Sister only cleaning my room, or does she do this for all Anbu members?"
Looking at the clean and new room, Uchiha Kage felt like he was back in the dream.
It seemed that Yugao Sister would be a rare good wife and mother in the In the future.
"You're the only one who calls me Sister."
How could she clean for others?
Yugao Sister had been feeling a little exhausted recently.
"What did Yugao Sister want to say just now?"
Uchiha Kage also noticed that Yugao Sister looked rather preoccupied.
"It's Hayate..."
Yugao looked at the Female Ninja beside Uchiha Kage.
She seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not.
"Don't worry, I know her background very well. No matter what she hears, she won't talk nonsense."
Although Uchiha Kage said that, he still let Samui stand guard outside the door to reassure Yugao Sister.
However, at this distance, with an upper ninja's keen senses, Samui could probably hear it if she wanted to.
"Well... it's like this..."
Yugao began to tell the secret she had overheard in Konoha Hospital.
Gekko Hayate's recovery after the surgery was originally good, but the people in the hospital not only put him under a coma-inducing Illusionary Technique, but also used drugs to keep him from waking up from his hospital bed.
She even investigated the matter, and in the end, she found out that it was Hokage-sama's order.
This was too strange. What exactly did Gekko Hayate do that even Hokage-sama didn't want him to wake up?
Realizing that this matter was extraordinary, Yugao immediately thought of Uchiha Kage, who had saved Gekko Hayate that night.
But she didn't expect that Uchiha Kage and Yuhi Kurenai and others had also been sent out of the Village by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
So, it wasn't until today that she could ask about the doubts that she had been holding in her heart.
And since it concerned the Hokage, she couldn't ask anyone else to verify it.
She could only pray that Uchiha Kage would come back soon to help her solve the mystery.
"Fortunately, Hayate is only unconscious now, and his injuries aren't serious. But... I'm worried that if he continues to sleep like this, it might cause other problems."
Such as head or memory damage.
"What exactly happened that night?"
The source of everything must have been that night.
Yugao eagerly wanted to know what had happened.
"I just encountered a special Rogue Ninja, but I didn't expect Hokage-sama to treat Hayate-senpai like this..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen really wasn't being fair in this matter.
It was unacceptable to her that the Hokage she had always admired would resort to such despicable methods against a fellow villager.
He even let Yugao notice the tricks.
However, it was probably because the pressure from Danzo was too great, so he couldn't pay much attention to this kind of "trivial matter."
"I'll go see the Third Hokage-sama later and ask about Hayate-senpai's matter. I hope Hayate-senpai can wake up soon."
"I'll go with you!"
Yugao had always wanted to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen directly about Gekko Hayate's matter, but she never had the courage.
She wasn't afraid that Sarutobi Hiruzen would punish her, but she was afraid that the Third Hokage's glorious image would collapse in her mind.
"Okay, after I settle Sam... Yiyi, I'll go to the Hokage Building with Yugao Sister."
Looking at the cold Sister, who was always cold and aloof, showing such a weak and helpless expression, Uchiha Kage couldn't help but feel a little pity.
The Third Hokage was really doing all kinds of bad things.
If he wanted to shut him up, he might as well have just made Gekko Hayate's surgery 'fail' and killed him.
Now, he was using these small tricks, which were neither fish nor fowl, and only annoyed people.
No wonder Danzo always looked down on Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying that this Old Geezer was weak and incompetent.
Cough cough...
Well, it seemed that his thoughts had inadvertently become as evil as Danzo's.
However, the reason why he was becoming more and more evil was not only because of the Old Geezer in Konoha, but also because of this "Yiyi."
She was the one who seduced him to commit crimes!
After Yugao left, Uchiha Kage closed the door.
He pinned the female ninja, who he jokingly blamed for his increasing 'evil', against it and silenced her chattering mouth.
Then, while thinking wildly, he blocked Samui's mouth and raised a long leg.
He only allowed the Female Ninja to stand on one leg behind the door.
As expected of a taijutsu-type ninja, her flexibility was really too good.
She could easily touch his shoulders.
"Why is the back buckle on the top broken?"
After letting go of the Female Ninja's lips, Uchiha Kage asked in surprise.
"Wasn't it because of you last night..."
The breasts, which were already overburdened and one size too small, would of course be unable to support it and snap off.
This was also the reason why Samui didn't dare to move too much along the way.
But he didn't expect that this guy would...
"Your Female Ninja Sister hasn't gone far yet. Aren't you afraid that she'll..."
Damn it, he said he was fifty years old just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was calling a Female Ninja, who was even younger than her, Sister.
What a shameless Uchiha Little Kid!
"Of course, not afraid."
Uchiha said as if to prove it.
"Hmph..."
She knew that no matter what she said, she couldn't avoid it.
Samui finally chose to give up in relief.
But she still glared at him stubbornly and fiercely as always, with a face that looked like she was going to eat him.
But soon, she couldn't hold back even this expression.
"Yiyi..."
Looking at the Female Ninja's reaction after hearing this new name, Uchiha Kage realized that he seemed to have found the key to dealing with her.
"Is this name nice?"
