Two months later.
Raikage Building, Raikage's Office.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the Fourth Raikage was lifting a $500$-pound barbell, listening to Mabui give her daily routine report on the Uchiha mother and son.
"Megumi-senpai took Seiya to the zoo this morning for the entire morning, and they visited the real estate sales office near the Shinobi Academy this afternoon."
"The little one really loves to play!" the Fourth Raikage lamented.
Over the past two months, Seiya had not spent a single day without playing, and Megumai had taken him to many fun places in the village.
As for Megumai herself, being idle at home all day was a problem.
However, the growth of the young Uchiha 'ancestor' could not be neglected and required the mother's care and company.
The Fourth Raikage had considered arranging a light position for Megumai, with a generous salary and great flexibility, to ensure she had enough time to care for Seiya while also providing the Tojo family with ample income.
However, after reading the letter of introduction from the Land of Iron's Daimyo's daughter, the Fourth Raikage dismissed the idea of arranging a position.
The letter stated that Megumai was a noble person unmoved by wealth or glory.
Even upon suddenly acquiring a huge sum of one hundred million Ryo, her emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest.
One hundred million Ryo...
With so much money, she obviously didn't need to rely on a job to make a living.
Thus, the Fourth Raikage stopped being overly anxious about others' affairs and allowed the Uchiha mother and son to do whatever they liked, only learning about their situation daily through Mabui's reports.
"Megumai went to the real estate sales office near the Shinobi Academy... Is she planning to buy a house? I remember the house allocated to her is not far from the Shinobi Academy, is it?" the Fourth Raikage asked.
"Yes."
Mabui first answered the last question, then elaborated on the first: "According to my understanding from the sales office staff, Megumi-senpai is not interested in buying a house but rather inquired about the distribution of architectural land in the village, seeming to plan to build her own house."
The Fourth Raikage frowned in thought for a moment, then raised his thick eyebrows, looking slightly pleased.
"This is good! Building her own residence shows that her mind is settled, and she is willing to live long-term in Kumogakure. This is a sign of belonging, very good!"
"Indeed."
Mabui smiled and nodded in agreement, then took a stack of files from her folder and presented them to the Fourth Raikage.
"This is a document drafted by Megumi-senpai regarding the reform plan for the Shinobi Hospital."
"Oh?"
The Fourth Raikage took the document and briefly skimmed through it.
"She visited the Shinobi Hospital several times a few days ago. I suppose this is what she was working on, right?"
Mabui nodded in agreement. "It appears so."
"Shinobi Hospital reform..."
The Fourth Raikage gazed at the document's title, rhythmically lifting and lowering the barbell, and sighed, "Megumai has made a big move without making a sound!"
After a moment of contemplation, the Fourth Raikage decisively said, "I approve. Let Megumai have a free hand to execute it. The village will fully support her!"
"Huh?"
Mabui was startled, feeling it was too rash, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Raikage-sama, don't we need to have professionals evaluate this plan first?"
"No need!"
The Fourth Raikage waved his hand, dismissing the idea.
He explained, "Practice yields true knowledge. If there are mistakes, we will correct them later. Since it's peacetime now, the cost of trial and error is not high!"
"Moreover, those people at the Shinobi Hospital haven't achieved much in all these years, which shows their lack of talent. Having them evaluate the plan is likely to be counterproductive."
"In the field of medical ninjutsu, Konoha has Tsunade-hime, and they have always managed things well. Megumai should be able to graft many of Konoha's excellent experiences onto Kumogakure. Yugito also reported that Megumai herself is a top-tier talent in the medical field. We must trust her expertise!"
"..."
Mabui was speechless.
An outrageous matter was explained logically by the Raikage-sama!
She felt that her young age and limited experience were showing.
"Issue an official notice immediately: Megumai is appointed as the Director of the Shinobi Hospital, responsible for the reform. Atsui is appointed as Vice Director to assist Megumai in her work," the Fourth Raikage decided.
"As for the current Director and Vice Director, they will be transferred to the Shinobi Hospital on the Turtle Island."
"..."
Mabui was shocked again, thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but question, "Raikage-sama, is it appropriate for Megumi-senpai to be promoted so quickly, taking such a giant leap?"
"If Megumai isn't given absolute power, how can she reform the Shinobi Hospital? Who will listen to the command of a newcomer who just arrived? Would you listen?" the Fourth Raikage retorted.
Mabui's expression froze, and she lowered her head in silence.
"I apologize, Raikage-sama, I was thinking superficially."
"You are still young, and you have many years to grow."
The Fourth Raikage's face held a trace of benevolence.
"Take it one step at a time. The bright future of Kumogakure will ultimately be yours!"
...
The Fourth Raikage's rapid promotion surprised everyone.
Megumai's original plan was to make compiling medical textbooks her daily job.
The so-called reform document was merely a suggestion to the higher-ups, aimed at contributing to Kumogakure.
She never expected the Fourth Raikage to promote her directly to the position of Director, ordering her to personally implement the changes.
With the responsibility on her shoulders, there was no reason to back down.
Moreover, this was a plan she had proposed herself.
Furthermore, the Director's extra-large personal office was very suitable for bringing a child to work.
Thus, Megumai took charge of the Shinobi Hospital, implementing reforms with firm commands and a strong hand.
Time flew by, and two years passed in a flash.
The training mechanism for medical Shinobis was significantly improved; the efficiency of patient diagnosis and treatment was markedly enhanced...
Most of the methods were copied from Konoha's Shinobi Hospital, and a small part was copied from Earth's hospitals.
Their organic combination proved to be much better than Kumogakure's original Shinobi Hospital, benefiting the public.
Megumai's name was consequently praised by the people.
The Fourth Raikage rewarded her by adding Megumai to the Jonin Council personnel list, allowing her to participate in discussions and decisions on all matters, big and small, in the village.
And Seiya was about to celebrate his sixth birthday, and the matter of his schooling was put on the agenda.
"Baby, in two months, you'll be going to school, just like the other children."
"I don't want to go! I want to stay with Mommy!" Seiya hugged Megumai's leg and whined.
"Don't you want to be able to summon a super big giant like Mommy?" Megumai gently coaxed.
"I do!" Seiya was somewhat moved. "Will going to school let me summon a giant like Mommy?"
"That's not certain," Megumai laughed, continuing to guide him. "But if you don't go to school, you definitely won't be able to summon one later."
"Ugh-"
Seiya immediately looked miserable and conflicted.
"Go to school, Baby. You'll only be at school for a few hours each day, and you'll see Mommy again when you come back."
The little guy pondered for a long time, finally nodding hesitantly.
