"We just escorted the Hidden Sand Envoy to the inn, and instructed the Anbu to monitor their actions."
After Yuhi Kurenai spoke, she noticed Uchiha Yoichi's desk was a bit messy, and offered, "Teacher Yoichi, let me tidy up your desk for you."
"No need for that, Kurenai. Anyway, I'll need to handle it again tomorrow morning."
"Huh? But it would look better if it's tidied up. If someone else sees it, they might think I'm not diligent..."
"Kurenai, you are indeed very diligent. It's just that I'm used to leaving things as they are before I leave and finding them the same way when I come back. It helps me quickly get into the work mode."
While Uchiha Yoichi spoke, he placed his hand on Yuhi Kurenai's shoulder and gently steered her towards the door.
"Kurenai, remember to rest once you get back. There are more tasks waiting for you tomorrow."
"Okay, sure, Teacher Yoichi."
Yuhi Kurenai felt a bit puzzled, but hearing Uchiha Yoichi's concern brought her some joy; after saying goodbye to him outside the Hokage Building, she went home.
After they left the Hokage Office, a person slowly crawled out from under the desk.
Nohara Rin, her face flushed abnormally red, swallowed with slightly swollen lips, then let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest: "Phew, thank goodness I reacted in time. Teacher Yoichi, really~"
However, recalling what just happened, Nohara Rin did not feel any aversion; rather, she was somewhat delighted: "Teacher Yoichi wasn't lying last time, he accepted me~... But it's dangerous in the office, it's a good thing I didn't let Kurenai come over...."
While hiding under the desk, she didn't dare to breathe. After waiting for a while inside the room, once her complexion calmed down, she cautiously left Uchiha Yoichi's office.
The next day, when Uchiha Yoichi arrived in the office, he noticed the desk had already been tidied and guessed Nohara Rin did it.
Without thinking much about it, he started dealing with his work.
The Sand Village Envoy was dissatisfied, so they went to find Uchiha Mikota, hoping she could sell some cheap supplies to the Sand Village.
Pakura didn't get involved in these matters; although she was well-known in the village, she didn't hold much power, so she continued her tour of Konoha the next day.
Though the premises of the Ninja Race were off-limits, newly built residential areas, completed and under-construction factories, as well as the commercial leisure street above the Hokage Rock, were all open to visit.
The more Pakura saw, the more she felt Konoha's strength, evident in every aspect.
Compared to Konoha, the Sand Village felt like a ship about to sink, despite ongoing patchwork repairs, the leaks just kept increasing.
Uchiha Yoichi was introducing the groundwork of Konoha to anticipate the Boruto Era, and in five years, this place would become the most prosperous central city in the Ninja World.
-----------------------------
Several months ago, in the Hidden Mist Village, the oppressive rule of the Third Generation Mizukage was overthrown.
Back then, many ninjas in the village were dissatisfied with him, and rebellions broke out one after another. The Kaguya Race and Minazuki clan both staged coups, aiming to overthrow the Third Mizukage's regime.
However, these two clans' rebellions were isolated and weak, even though both shared the same goal, they didn't coordinate their efforts for a joint coup.
If these two clans had united, it would have definitely given the Third Mizukage a hard time, possibly even prolonged the conflict.
But after suppressing these clans' coups, dissatisfaction in Hidden Mist Village towards the Third Mizukage peaked, sparking a third rebellion that eventually toppled him, allowing Yagura to become the Fourth Mizukage.
Now, only a few months have passed since the coup in Hidden Mist Village, and the village has just started to calm down.
"Bring me all the intelligence on the Three-tailed immediately, both current and past."
Such an order emanated from the Mizukage Office, following which, Hidden Mist Ninja quickly delivered all related intelligence to his office.
After they left, Obito emerged from the dimension space.
Upon reviewing the information about the Three-tails, a myriad of emotions welled up in Obito's heart, stirring memories of the gentle, understanding, and nearly perfect Rin in his mind.
"To release the Three-tails inside Konoha, aiming to use the Tailed Beast to destroy Konoha... so that's how it was. Little Rin also figured out Hidden Mist Ninja's plot, which is why she intentionally ran into that Ninja Blade... "
Bang!
The erupting Chakra shredded the confidential document in his hand, thereafter Obito imposed an Illusion Technique on the Fourth Mizukage, concealing himself behind him.
"Since it's called the Blood Mist Village, let's carry the Blood Mist spirit all the way!"
Uchiha Obito thought viciously to himself, not fearing the overthrow of Yagura. Overthrowing two Mizukage consecutively, even a major village among the Five Great Ninja Villages like Hidden Mist Village, wouldn't bear the consequences.
Should the Hidden Mist envoy act as expected, it's quite likely that the Hidden Mist Village will disintegrate, with waves of ninjas defecting, and the entire Ninja Village would be destroyed in an instant.
Therefore, Obito could confidently issue decrees in Yagura's name.
Start by allowing only one graduate per grade; then waging war against Konoha with an elite policy, weakening both Ninja Villages this way.
This world, full of chaos and devoid of little Rin, does not need to exist!
The blood-red Sharingan beneath the mask surged with ruthless and savage emotions.
Konoha Village.
On the third day, the Sand Village Envoy had completed all the negotiations regarding the Chunin Exam.
Scheduled to be held two months later, the Chunin Exam besides the Sand Village will also see participation from Hidden Rain Ninja, Grass Village Ninja, Hidden Waterfall Ninja, among other villages. Inviting Grass and Waterfall Ninja is also a gesture to deter them.
