"Today's serious business, speak properly."
Uchiha Yoichi picked up Uzumaki Minami, then sat on the sofa, letting Uzumaki Minami sit on his lap; however, Uzumaki Minami herself placed her white silk-wrapped feet on his hand.
"Orochimaru got the Hashirama Cells and the test subject. Use the method you experimented with in the Dream Space to help him create the Wood Release Bloodline. Then hand over the method to him, and bring back the Hashirama Cells."
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Uzumaki Minami, blushing, looked up and asked, "Lord Yoichi, there are three fusion methods, which one should I use?"
"Use the one with the worst effect. I guess Orochimaru will study himself, and he's already made a great profit, so no need to give the best one. Once you bring back the Hashirama Cells, merge them with me, you, and Mikota."
While speaking, Uchiha Yoichi played with the white silk feet in his hand, all of which Minami willingly placed into his hands.
Uzumaki Minami, her cheeks reddened, asked, "I understand, then I'll leave a shadow clone at Konoha Hospital... but Lord Yoichi, is there a reward after finishing this task?"
Clap, clap, clap!
Last time it was Minami clinging to him, and it was Minami who was exhausted, and in the end, it was still Uzumaki Minami who, like an octopus, wouldn't let him sneak off to find Mikota....
Uchiha Yoichi gave a few hard slaps to that part of Uzumaki Minami, then said, "No rewards, but if you don't do it well, there is punishment..."
The three fusion methods of Hashirama Cells experimented by Uzumaki Minami in the Dream Space, the most effective one is external fusion, cultivating and fusing using Uchiha Yoichi's cells and Hashirama Cells separately.
Let the two reach a level of balanced fusion, and after that, transplant them into the body to fully inherit the power of Hashirama Cells, able to unleash the strong vitality energy within the cells.
This method is troublesome and requires various pharmaceutical reagents to suppress the erosion of Hashirama Cells, otherwise, the powerful vitality of Hashirama Cells would continuously devour the transplant recipient's cells, eventually turning the recipient into a tree.
Fortunately, the complete transplantation method and pharmaceutical reagents have been tested, thanks to the magic of Dream Space.
In the afternoon, Uzumaki Minami only let a shadow clone go to the hospital, with a reduction in wounded after the war, Konoha Hospital wasn't as busy.
Moreover, Uzumaki Minami is now a Medical Jonin and the leader of the second medical team, with minor injuries and illnesses not requiring her attention, so in the afternoon she headed to Orochimaru's experiment base.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Mikota met with some people in her office, which is near the supermarket where she frequently works.
Now the clansmen in charge of specific business would look for Mikota if something was beyond her solution, then they would find Uchiha Yoichi for a decision.
Today, Uchiha Mikota met with the orphanages around Konoha, a total of four, which Uchiha plans to allocate funds to.
The largest has more than eighty people, while the smallest has over thirty, totaling over two hundred orphans across the four orphanages.
The Uchiha Race plans to provide these four orphanages with charity of 7,000 Ryo per orphan to help continue their operations.
Upon learning of this news, the four orphanage directors were moved and hastened to thank Uchiha Mikota.
It's known that Konoha provides only a monthly subsidy of 100,000 Ryo, and two directors continue to adopt orphans, so 100,000 Ryo is simply not enough.
Sometimes, that 100,000 Ryo is delayed, Konoha indeed takes care of the ninja's bereaved well, with no delay in compensation, but those orphans in the orphanages are all civilian orphans.
Some were even adopted from outside Konoha, Konoha could only ensure they wouldn't starve, eating slightly better was impossible.
The expenditure on food and drink for orphans in this age group isn't large, with 3,000 Ryo per month they can be well-fed, and with the 7,000 Ryo from Uchiha Mikota, they could even eat a couple of good meals and change a set of clothes.
"Thank you so much, Jonin Mikota."
"Indeed, thanks to the Uchiha Race, otherwise, we would have struggled to continue operating..."
Uchiha Mikota shook her head and softly said, "This is the Clan Leader's order, I'm just doing my job, and the Clan Leader also mentioned that if there are children suitable to become ninja, the Uchiha Race would also fund their education at the Ninja Academy....."
"Thanks to the Uchiha Clan Leader, now the children have hope."
"Thank you, Jonin Mikota, and the Uchiha Clan Leader..."
The orphanage directors quickly expressed gratitude, though ninja face death, for these orphans, becoming a ninja is already their best way out.
One of the orphanage directors, whose demeanor was somewhat similar to Uchiha Mikota, adjusted her full chest, relaxed inside: 'Now the funding problem is solved, I can safely withdraw from the Root....'
Yakushi Nonou had long planned to withdraw from the Root, and even submitted an application to the Third Generation Hokage; but the Root repeatedly withheld funds for her orphanage, forcing her to scout for the Root for funds.
With the Uchiha Race's donation, she can peacefully stay in the orphanage to accompany those children.
After receiving a donation form, the four directors, expressing their thanks, departed from Uchiha Mikota's office.
This amount of money is nothing for the Uchiha Race, even ninja like Nonou, taking on frequent missions, could maintain these few orphanages.
But this amount of money could give Uchiha a good reputation, and after the donation, Uchiha Yoichi already informed the Land of Fire newspaper to report the event.
There's no need to hide when doing good deeds, now every good deed by the Uchiha Race will have to be publicized, few ninja read newspapers, but long-term publicity ensures the reputation spreads.
After the orphanage directors left, Mikota continued her work, since Uchiha Race's business is expanding.
Pharmaceuticals, ninja games, the supermarket, and food district in Konoha, Magic Goat farm, now added with three bookstores, a newspaper company, and a television station, previously invested in computer-related factories, though no products yet.
But according to Uchiha Yoichi, computers are the future's focal point in the Ninja World and will be Uchiha's industry to control the Ninja World.
Mikota continued working until twilight, but she suddenly felt hands wrapping around her waist from behind.
"Who.... Mr. Yoichi, don't be so scary next time~"
Mikota was initially startled, but seeing it was Uchiha Yoichi, she playfully complained.
"It's already this late, Mikota, go home and rest."
Uchiha Yoichi advised, "Work never ends, find a few clansmen to help you, I heard recently many clansmen are embarrassed to take too much of the Uchiha benefits and want to contribute to the clan, you can arrange that...."
"I understand, so let's finish today."
Mikota felt the warmth of his breath at her ear, and those hands gradually moving upwards on her waist, her face slowly reddened.
Then, Mikota tidied up the office and left with Uchiha Yoichi heading home together.
Now the two are like a married couple, though with Uzumaki Minami added, Mikota still feels happy.
If she stays late at work, Uchiha Yoichi will promptly come to find her, this feeling of being valued, Mikota never felt before.
"Eh?"
Mikota suddenly stopped, and seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think I forgot something...."
"Did you leave something at the office?"
"I think so... but maybe not...."
"Then check tomorrow, it won't be lost, at night there're Security Team patrols."
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's advice, Mikota nodded and didn't dwell on it.
Walking further, Mikota noticed they're almost home, and with no one around, boldly took Uchiha Yoichi's hand and softly said: "Let's go home, Anata~"
——————————
In the night, gentle moonlight spilled through the window onto Mikota's body.
In the moonlit corner, a young child sat on the porch steps, though the night was deep, he didn't return inside to sleep.
"Itachi, why aren't you sleeping yet? Something on your mind?"
Shisui came to Uchiha Itachi's side and asked, so late not sleeping, surely there was something, perhaps missing his parents.
"Nothing, I'll go to sleep now, Shisui, you rest early too..."
Itachi stood up, dusted off his pants, but before going back inside, he glanced once more at the end of the road by the door.
It was dark, but not the figure he'd long waited to see.....
