Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Sogen didn't stay long. The Fifth Hokage had already asked for leave because of illness. Naturally, he, the assistant to the Hokage who acted as the Hokage's authority, could not miss work for a long time. After saying a few nice words about not paying, he left and left, finishing the diagnosis. Nonoyu walked with him.

"How about it? Chief Pharmacist."

"Didn't I already say it? Do you want to repeat it again?"

"So, it is really unlikely that Hokage-sama will regain his sight?"

"The disease is so terminal that it is difficult to cure it with medicine and stone."

Pharmacist No Naiyu said decisively.

"I understand."

Zongxian nodded.

It seems that Akimichi Tifeng really won't be able to survive for long. Yakushi Nonou's medical skills are not as outstanding as Tsunade's, but she is definitely the best in the ninja world. Her eyesight is still trustworthy, plus four years ago Tsunade also said it herself that Akimichi Tifou's disease can only be controlled, not cured.

As a result,

There are some things you can really prepare for.

The Sixth Hokage... Sogen is determined to win, and Konoha currently does not seem to have any other strong competitors. Akimichi Tofou's illness has been recurring in the past few years. This is not the first time that he, the Hokage's assistant, has acted on behalf of the Hokage. Authority, all this seems to be destined to be the sixth generation Hokage.

But in Zongxian’s view,

Variables exist.

Apart from anything else, if Tsunade returns to the village and wants to compete for the position of the Sixth Hokage, then God knows how many supporters will emerge and how much legacy the First and Second Generations will leave behind. No one knows until the moment it is used.

Anyway,

Caution is the boat.

However, there is no need to tell Yakushi Nono about these things. Although Yakushi Hospital was built with money from the Uchiha clan, Yakushi Nono firmly stated that it was borrowing money, not accepting funding. It is obvious that Yakushi Nono Yu learned his lesson after suffering a loss from Danzo.

I'm afraid I'll fall into another plot.

The spy career in the past had exhausted Yao Shi Nonoyu physically and mentally. Now she no longer wants to get involved in the disputes in the village.

For this,

Zongxian doesn't care.

The reason why he funded Yakushi Noono was because of the suggestion made by his current secretary Yakushi Kabuto. If the Uchiha clan funded the construction of a new hospital, it could significantly change the family's reputation in the village, even if they knew his suggestion. Largely for Yakushi Nonou.

But I have to deny that Kabuto Yakushi is indeed very talented. Without concealing his intention to help his adoptive mother, he just convinced the elders of the Uchiha clan.

This is how the current Pharmacist Hospital came to be.

But Kabuto Yakushi didn't lie either.

The profit from the Pharmacist Hospital is more than enough to support a small orphanage. At the same time, the information that the Uchiha clan played a huge role in the establishment of the Pharmacist Hospital was slowly spread through the hospital staff, which indeed made people happy. The Uchiha's reputation had improved dramatically.

"Izumi, have you made any progress studying with the pharmacist director recently?" Zongxian turned his attention to the girl who was following the pharmacist Nonou. The 16-year-old Izumi Uchiha has suddenly grown into a slim beauty, not only With her outstanding appearance, her gentleness like water has fascinated many young people in the clan.

Unfortunately,

The famous flower already has its owner.

It is destined that most people can only curse a certain lucky bastard over and over in their hearts, and dare not openly provoke him, because that lucky bastard is very strong, except for those few people in the family. , no one dares to say that he is the opponent of that bastard.

"It feels... not bad!"

Uchiha Izumi replied not confidently, and while speaking, he secretly glanced at the pharmacist Noono next to him.

"Although Izumi came into contact with medical ninjutsu late, her talent is pretty good, she is also very diligent in studying, and she also has the power of Sharingan... It is indeed very practical in the medical field. I can guarantee that in She will definitely become a qualified medical ninja."

Different from the lack of confidence of his apprentice,

Pharmacist Nonoyu is confident.

I think Uchiha Izumi will become a qualified medical ninja sooner or later.

"very good."

After Zongxian finished speaking, he felt that such a comment might be a bit weak, and added: "This is very good. Medical ninja is also a good choice. Not every Uchiha must be able to fight and kill. It is also very important to treat illnesses and save people in the rear. The good thing is, if someone in the clan dares to say something weird again, as long as he can't be beaten to death, he will be beaten to death. If you can't be beaten, let Itachi help you."

Most trees have dead branches.

Not to mention such a big family.

Not every clan member will think that becoming a medical ninja is a good choice. In the view of some clan members, Uchiha should be on the battlefield. Even the clan leader Zongxuan cannot eliminate similar prejudices from the root. Ability to rely on one's own authority to suppress.

"I try my best."

Izumi Uchiha's face turned slightly red and he replied softly.

"It's not that I try my best, but I must do it. Unless it's an old man over 65 or [-] years old, no matter who he is, if he dares to talk nonsense, just deal with him. Just say it was me who said it, and let Itachi not have any scruples."

"Yes, patriarch."

This time, Izumi Uchiha simply agreed.

"That's right... we're here, Chief Pharmacist, Izumi, I'll take the first step." Zongxian waved goodbye to the two of them, turned to the intersection on the left, and headed in the direction of the Hokage Building. Continuing forward, Yakushi Nonou and Uchiha Izumi continued to walk north. The Yakushi Hospital and the new orphanage were both located on the north side of the village.

Return to the Hokage Building,

Zongxuan came to the office of his Hokage Assistant. Although he still shoulders the responsibility of the Minister of Police Department, the work of the Police Department has basically been handed over to Uchiha Arashiyama, who is the Deputy Minister. Now the focus of work has shifted to the responsibility of assisting the Hokage. At least 25 days in January are spent working in the Hokage building.

and,

In addition to being the assistant Hokage and the head of the police department, he now also has another responsibility.

Just when Zongxian was sitting firmly on his buttocks, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Zong Xian put down the document that he had just glanced at the title of, looked up and saw the white-haired young man who walked in through the door, "Man Yue, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious, it's my private matter."

With white hair, purple eyes, and sharp teeth, the identity of the young man is obvious. He is the "prodigy loved by the ninja sword" from Kirigakure Village. Of course, the title of "prodigy" is not suitable for Kiden Mangetsu now. It has completely become a thing of the past.

"Private matter? Need to ask for leave again?"

"Hehe, Minister Mingmei."

"You guy...asked for leave every three days, what happened this time? Forget it, don't tell me, just tell me, how many days will you take?"

"At least 20 days."

"20 days? How dare you say that."

"There's nothing we can do about it! Who made it so far from Konoha to Kirigakure Village? Putting aside the time spent on the road, I can't stay at home for a few days. But something really happened this time. My father passed away from illness. , That boy Shuiyue has been particularly restless recently, and my mother said she wanted me to go back, as there are many things that I need to deal with."

"Sorry!"

Zong Xian's face suddenly became serious.

"Hehe, it's okay. I don't have a good relationship with that old man anyway. If my mother hadn't written to me, to be honest, I wouldn't have planned to go back at all." Gui Deng Man Yue said very nonchalantly. There was no trace of anything on his face. A little bit of sadness.

Zong Xian didn't interrupt. He knew that the relationship between Gui Deng Man Yue and his father was quite bad, but this was other people's family affairs. If you don't understand the details, you should not meddle in other people's family affairs.

He just said: "I'll give you one month's leave. If the time is not enough, you can extend it. In short, it won't be too late to come back after you have taken care of your family affairs. Anyway, there is nothing important in the ministry recently. By the way, Yu Yuli, she I won’t ask for leave with you, right?”

"I'll go back alone."

"Be careful on the road."

This 'department' is obviously not the police department. The full name of the department where Oniden Mangetsu and Ringo Yuri belong is [Konoha Kirigakure United Rebel Ninja Investigation Department], and it is claimed to unite the forces of Konoha and Kirigakure. There is an organization that operates between the two countries to jointly hunt down traitorous ninjas, but in reality——

It's much more complicated than that.

This department was originally an idea put forward by Zongxuan in order to appease and win over the Kirigakure. Uchiha Madara, the common enemy of Konoha and Kirigakure, was used as a target, so that the two villages could establish a solid alliance, and Kirigakure The Yuan Master from the village expressed his agreement in a very polite manner.

Later, the fourth generation Mizukage passed away, and soon after the fifth generation Mizukage Terumi Mei came to power, he sent Onito Mangetsu, Ringo Yuri and a group of powerful Kiri ninjas to Konoha, and Sogen also selected Hatake Kakashi , Uchiha Chihaya and others.

then,

The [Konoha Kirigakure United Rebel Ninja Investigation Department] was thus established in Konoha, with Munesuru personally serving as the first director.

It's just that it's fast to establish a department, but it's not easy to achieve results. In the past few years, the two villages have really arrested a lot of rebellious ninjas, but the investigation work on 'Uchiha Madara' has not been big so far. progress, but still can't find any clues.

Zong Xian did know that Uchiha Obito should go to Amegakure Village from time to time.

Zong Xian even gathered strength and was confident to defeat Yuyin Village in one fell swoop.

But if Uchiha Obito and Nagato cannot be restrained with one blow, defeating Amegakure Village will only make the enemy hide deeper. Furthermore, Munexun's strength has been increasing in recent years. The more advantageous it is.

Therefore,

Zong Xian did not give any extra help to his subordinates.

But as time goes by, maybe... changes will happen soon. After all, Naruto and the others will graduate next spring. Although the future is already completely different and completely different from the scene in memory, But this is a time worth paying attention to.

It has certain reference value.

"Are there really people in this kind of place?"

The person who spoke was a woman, dressed in dark purple smart clothes, wearing a hat to protect her head from the rain, and no forehead protector. She did not look like a ninja from the five major ninja villages.

She stood on the rocks that were shaped like fangs piercing the sky. Looking around, she could clearly see that the surrounding scenery was almost the same as the one under her feet. The rocks were pierced through the sky, there were many strange rocks, and the undulating peaks not far away were hidden. In the rain and fog.

This is also a characteristic of the ninja world.

Just like the Kingdom of Rain has rainfall all year round, just like the Kingdom of Iron is always in the cold winter, I don't know whether it is caused by nature or man-made factors thousands of years ago. In short, there are many similar places with abnormal climate and environment in the Ninja World. [Milou Mountain], located at the junction of the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Taki, is clearly affected by the climate of the Kingdom of Iron.

It's obviously spring, but the cold wind is still blowing "woo-woo".

Although it didn't snow, the cold rain was sometimes colder than the wind and snow.

"We still have to go inside. The person we are looking for is here." The man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a tin staff, dressed like a walking monk, looked into the depths of Milou Mountain. Unfortunately, the curtain of rain and fog blocked his sight. Less than the scenery located deep in the mountains.

"Tianmu, have you discovered anything?"

The man holding a tin staff asked another companion.

"Yes, I have!"

The Tianmu who was squatting on the ground opened his eyes and looked up into the sky, "I didn't see the person, but something strange is coming. Kazuma, Zizi, be careful."

This trio is Kazuma and others who have disappeared for a long time.

"Strange thing?"

Kazuma frowned when he heard the words, and looked at the sky with his third eye in confusion. What he saw was the gray clouds... No, no, something did come out, a... ···Weird thing!

"What the hell is this?"

Zi Zi was shocked.

Breaking through the clouds and appearing in everyone's sight was a creature that was difficult to accurately describe with a standard noun. It had a single horn on its head, two wings on its back, four legs, and two tails. It was pale and looked like it was wearing a thick armor. Its huge size can easily crush monsters in a block.

"Don't worry about anything for now, just run."

Tianmu screamed strangely.

Because the monster in the sky opened its mouth and spit out a stream of blazing fire towards the three people below, like a waterfall of flames falling from the sky. The ferocious momentum seemed to be able to destroy the mountains and rocks below. It seems to be burned away.

Tianmu and Zizi ran wildly.

Including Kazuma, after thinking for half a second, he chose to avoid the edge. He came here to find someone, not to fight. Moreover, monsters flying in the air are difficult to fight, so even if he really wanted to do it, he would have to think about it. The solution is to lower the height of this monster first.

Seeing that the fire he breathed out achieved nothing.

Except for breaking a fang-like mountain rock, not even a single intruder was burned to death. This made the monster seem to become violent. It let out a violent roar and lowered its flying height. Since the flames If you can't burn these guys to death, just tear them apart with your claws.
