Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Tsunade could understand what Uchiha Kagami meant, but as long as these two girls couldn't threaten her position, why would she lower herself to make things difficult for them?

Just after Uchiha Kakuyama finished his introduction, he leaned close to Tsunade's ear and whispered, "These two girls were forced on me by the First Elder, and I couldn't refuse, so I brought them in. They won't leave until they're properly dealt with."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Tsunade gestured for the two who were bowing to rise, then gave Kagami a questioning look, 'Is it your Kotoamatsukami?'

Uchiha Kakuyama understood the meaning in Tsunade's eyes and nodded slightly at her.

Tsunade was relieved, knowing that Uchiha Kakuzan was sensible and wouldn't leave her any safety risks. She took the two girls' hands and comforted them. After all, these two girls would be her own people from now on, and she and her husband Uchiha Kakuzan would need their care in the space. Tsunade then started to build a relationship with these two innocent girls.

Chapter 183 First Encounter with the Nine Little Strongmen

Due to Tsunade's sudden arrival, the two girls hurriedly went into the kitchen, prepared several new dishes, and served them on the table.

Tsunade hadn't eaten either. After dealing with the visitors, she really missed her Uchiha Okayama-kun. She instructed Shizune and then activated the spatial mark that Uchiha Okayama had left on her, entering the space to find Uchiha Okayama.

In Tsunade's view, even if Uchiha Kazuyama was not in the space at the moment, as long as she activated the mark and entered the space, Kazuyama would sense it and, if there was no urgent matter, would enter the space to find her.

Tsunade was surprised that these two girls, despite their young age, could cook such delicious food, especially the newly made curry chicken and braised saury, which were to her liking. As she ate, she praised the two girls.

After having dinner, Uchiha Kazuyama took Tsunade for a walk on the beach. Since no one had ever been to this island before, the beach was unpolluted and exceptionally beautiful. Uchiha Kazuyama held Tsunade's hand as they strolled along the beach, and Tsunade remained silent, immersing themselves in the beautiful scenery with Uchiha Kazuyama.

After strolling on the beach, the two lingered for a while before Uchiha Kazuyama teleported Tsunade directly to the villa. After a quick wash, Tsunade was embraced by Uchiha Kazuyama and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Uchiha Kakuyama took Tsunade home and then went to Mikoto's house because he had promised Sasuke a few days ago that he would accompany him to school today.

Yes, today is the first day of school for Uchiha Sasuke. Since his father and brother have been sent out on missions by Uchiha Okayama, only his mother is with him on this important day. So, he asked Uchiha Okayama a couple of days ago if she could be with him on this day.

Uchiha Kakuzan was somewhat taken aback when he heard Sasuke's request. There were only six years left before the Naruto storyline began. Coming back to his senses, Uchiha Kakuzan saw Mikoto beside him with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and with a smile, he agreed to Sasuke's request.

Actually, even if Mikoto hadn't asked him, he would have agreed, because this was the entrance ceremony for nine of the twelve Konoha 12, so of course he was interested in watching it.

Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba

Apart from Sakura Haruno, who was just there to make up the numbers, the rest are all elite direct descendants of their respective families. This year's students should be quite exciting.

After arriving at Mikoto's house, Uchiha Kakuzan secretly went to Mikoto's room, where she was still asleep, and spent some time with her. He then touched the baby in her belly, and the baby's faint yet vibrant energy filled his heart with warmth. Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't help but hug and kiss Mikoto a little longer.

So when Mikoto finished getting ready and arrived at the restaurant, Sasuke Uchiha was already waiting there, which made Mikoto glare at Uchiha Okayama, who had just come in from outside the door.

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw Mikoto glaring at him, he awkwardly looked away and started talking to Sasuke next to him.

After having breakfast at Mikoto's house again, Uchiha Okayama and Mikoto accompanied Sasuke to the entrance of the Ninja Academy, located in the center of the village, below the Hokage Rock.

Here, all the first-year students and their parents were gathered. Uchiha Kakuyama glanced around and spotted several of the young men standing silently in the corner. The entire Aburame family, all wearing sunglasses, were there: Kiba Inuzuka with a dog on his head and his older sister and mother by his side; Choji Akimichi, a chubby boy eating potato chips; Shikamaru Nara with a lazy look and a pineapple-shaped hairstyle; and next to them, Ino Yamanaka, a somewhat impatient blonde girl.

Just then, a panicked voice suddenly called out to him from behind Uchiha Kakuzan.

"Lord Qiushan, good day." The voice trembled, one could imagine how nervous the owner of the voice was.

Uchiha Kakuzan turned around and saw Hinata Hyuga, dressed in casual clothes, her face flushed and her eyes filled with panic. Behind her were Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, and a beautiful woman holding a baby, both smiling at him.

Uchiha Kakuyama bowed slightly and greeted the Hyuga couple first: "Good morning, Lord Hyuga Hiashi, good morning, Madam."

Then, with a smile in his eyes, he looked warmly at the flustered Hinata and said, "Good day, Hinata."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's greeting, Hinata Hyuga's face turned even redder, almost to the point of steaming.

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan started chatting with Hyuga Hiashi. As a long-established ninja clan, there weren't many that could rival the Hyuga clan. However, the Uchiha clan was even stronger than them. Therefore, Hyuga Hiashi didn't put on any airs in front of Uchiha Kakuzan. Moreover, they were now considered family, so the conversation became even more casual.

After chatting for a while, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly changed the subject: "Kyuyama, did you know? One of the Legendary Sannin, Lady Tsunade, has recently returned to the village. The Third Hokage intends to retire and pass the Hokage position to her. Be careful. Your Uchiha clan and her Senju clan have never gotten along. Recently, your Uchiha clan is moving out of the village. Don't cause any more trouble."

Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's reminder, Uchiha Kakuzan knew it was well-intentioned and smiled, saying, "Lord Hiashi, rest assured, I brought Lady Tsunade back on the orders of the Third Hokage. On the way back, Lady Tsunade and I reached an agreement that it would not affect the relocation of our Uchiha clan."

When Hiashi Hyuga heard what Uchiha Kyuuyama said, he nodded. Whether Kyuuyama knew or not was his business; he had already reminded him and fulfilled his duty.

Hinata Mukahi, standing to the side, still looked completely bewildered. She didn't understand the adult world and had no idea what her father and the others were talking about.

Mikoto and Hinata's mother huddled together, playing with Hanabi while discussing their experiences raising children. Mrs. Hinata had just given birth, while Mikoto was slightly pregnant, and the two had endless topics to discuss about this.

Sasuke, standing to the side, showed no interest in Hinata, who was the same age as him. Instead, he looked back and forth between Hanabi and his mother's lower abdomen, seemingly more interested in his soon-to-be-born younger brother and sister.

Chapter 184 Mikoto is angry

Chapter 184 Mikoto is angry

After chatting with Uchiha Kakuyama for a while, Hyuga Hiashi took his leave. As staunch supporters of the Hokage, the Hyuga clan naturally had to go and greet the Third Hokage, who was preparing to give a speech, on such a special day.

Hinata Mukahi also left with her parents. Before leaving, she said goodbye to Uchiha Kakuyama, after all, he was her fiancé, so of course she had to say hello.

Uchiha Kakuyama watched Hinata Hyuga's retreating figure. It seemed he needed to build a relationship with little Hinata. Otherwise, even if she grew up, she wouldn't be close to him. This adorable little girl definitely needed to be nurtured.

Just as Mikoto was giving instructions to Sasuke, with Uchiha Kakuzan by her side, they suddenly heard a lively voice.

"Kind uncle, you're here too?"

Upon hearing the voice, Uchiha Kakuyama looked in the direction from which it came and saw Naruto Uzumaki walking towards him, waving as he went. Behind him were the somewhat shy Karin Uzumaki and the gentle-looking Karin Uzumaki.

Upon seeing Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but smile: "Naruto, are you enrolling today too?"

Naruto Uzumaki arrived in front of Uchiha Kagayasu and nodded repeatedly after hearing his words: "Yes, uncle, what brings you here today? Are you here to send off new students as well?"

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm here to see off the new students as well."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Naruto looked around and spotted a familiar figure. Pointing to Uchiha Sasuke standing beside him, he exclaimed in realization, "So you're the kind old man's son!"

When Sasuke Uchiha saw Naruto, he was about to pretend he didn't know him and stand there acting aloof. But after hearing Naruto's words, a vein bulged on his forehead, and he coldly uttered two words: "Idiot!"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan laughed and said, "I'm not married yet, so where would I get a child? This is my disciple, Uchiha Sasuke. He's a genius. You two should spar more in the future."

Standing to the side, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but glance at Uchiha Okayama after hearing his words, and then touched her lower abdomen.

Upon hearing that Uchiha Sasuke was the disciple of the kind old man in front of him, Naruto patted his chest vigorously and said, "Don't worry, old man, I'll take care of him."

Uchiha Kakuyama was also speechless at Naruto's comprehension ability. He chuckled and greeted Uzumaki Kaoru, who had already arrived in front of him, saying, "Kaoru-nee, you're here today too."

Uzumaki Karin blushed slightly and said to Uchiha Kyuuyama, "Good day, Mr. Kyuuyama. It's nice to see you again. Today is the day my daughter and Naruto are starting school, so I came."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kaoru's words, Uchiha Kakuyama turned to Karin, who was standing to the side, and said, "Kaorin is here to enroll today too. How brave!"

Karin Uzumaki blushed upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words and quickly hid behind her mother. Then, she couldn't help but peek out with one eye to look at Uchiha Kakuyama.

Karin was used to her daughter's shyness. She gently patted her head and explained to Uchiha Kyuuyama, "Mr. Kyuuyama knows that Karin has some psychological trauma, but she has gotten much better with Naruto's encouragement. Moreover, after enrolling, Naruto takes care of her, and she has been able to make some friends her own age, so I let her come to school."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded: "Karin-nee, you're right. It's good for Karin's introverted personality to make more friends."

In that case, apart from Sakura, all nine members of the Konoha 11 are present. Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Karin hiding behind her mother. Karin, who has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, is just right to replace Sakura. He really didn't know why Karin was so shy now. In the original work, she was a very carefree person.

After chatting with Uchiha Kaoru for a while, the gates of the Ninja Academy opened. Since parents were not allowed to enter the school, Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Kaoru gave Sasuke some instructions at the gate and then let him enter the school. Next to him was the loud and boisterous Uchiha Naruto, who kept trying to talk to him.

Next, the first-year students gathered together to listen to the Third Hokage's brainwashing and his promotion of the Will of Fire.

Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at the scene from afar and noticed that next to the Third Hokage was Tsunade, who was wearing a green robe. It seemed that the Third Hokage was already preparing to hand over the Hokage position.

After seeing Sasuke off to school, Mikoto Uchiha suddenly gave Uchiha Kakuyama a light twist around the waist, snorted, and left him.

Uchiha Kakuzan was also a little confused by Mikoto's sudden change of expression, but he still quickly followed her, intending to find a secluded place to find out what was going on.

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at Uchiha Kazuyama who was following beside her, but didn't say anything. However, she slowed down and kept pace with Uchiha Kazuyama.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Uchiha Kakuyama asked in a low voice, "Mikoto-nee, why are you angry? What did I do wrong?"

Mikoto Uchiha rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're not married and you don't have any children, so whose child is this?" After saying that, Mikoto Uchiha gently patted her protruding belly.

Upon hearing Mikoto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly realized that he had hurt her feelings with his earlier words, and quickly comforted her, "My bad, my bad, Mikoto, I misspoke just now, please don't mind."

After Uchiha Kakuyama finished speaking, he glanced around again and, seeing that no one was around, grabbed Mikoto and led her into the space.

Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't take Mikoto to the place with the villa. Otherwise, if Mikoto were caught being intimate with Uchiha Kakuzan by Uchiha Izumi and the others, she would be extremely embarrassed.

So, Uchiha Kazuyama took Mikoto directly to the other side of the island. The island is now very large, and Uchiha Kazuyama and Uchiha Mikoto are quite far from the villa. Given Izumi and the others' current speed, it would take them at least a day to get here.

Uchiha Izumi and the others had to clean the villa every day and prepare dinner for Uchiha Okayama, so they simply didn't have time to come here. Therefore, Uchiha Okayama was very relieved.

Chapter 185 First Encounter with Yakushi Nonou

Chapter 185 First Encounter with Yakushi Nonou

After bringing Mikoto into the space, Uchiha Kakuzan gently embraced her without saying a word. He simply stood there quietly with Mikoto in his arms, watching the distant sea view together.

While coaxing his sister Mikoto, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't forget to use Wood Release to build a villa here that was exactly the same as the one there.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Mikoto wasn't really angry; she just missed him and wanted to spend some time alone with him. So, Uchiha Kakuzan simply brought Mikoto into his spatial dimension and built a villa just for her.

Uchiha Okayama and Mikoto lingered in the space for a while before Mikoto reluctantly left and returned to her original world.

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan had comforted Mikoto and left the clan compound to find Kurenai Yuhi, he encountered someone unexpected just as he emerged from the compound.

Uchiha Kakuzan had just left the clan compound and walked across a street when he frowned, his expression turning serious. He said coldly, "Root members, come out. I can already sense you."

Just as Uchiha Kyuuyama finished speaking, two people dressed as members of Root appeared before him, kneeling on one knee and saying in a monotonous voice, "Lord Kyuuyama, Lord Danzo has something to ask you to go to Root."

Uchiha Kakuzan had no idea what Danzo was up to, but since he couldn't harm him now, he decided to go and check it out himself.

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded: "Understood, you may all leave now."

After finishing speaking, Uchiha Kakuyama used his eye technique Takamagahara to instantly teleport to a location near Root.

The members of Root were very tight-lipped, so Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't worried that they would reveal his ability to use space-time ninjutsu. That's why Uchiha Kakuzan used it in front of them.

In fact, given Uchiha Kakuzan's current strength, he wasn't afraid of his ability to use space-time ninjutsu being leaked. After all, even his greatest enemies, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito, already knew some of it, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

When Uchiha Kakuzan arrived at Root, Shimura Danzo was still sitting in a dark cave chamber, his eyes half-closed, lost in thought.

Uchiha Kakuzan was never polite to Shimura Danzo. After arriving at the stone chamber without any hindrance, he ignored Danzo's attitude and asked directly, "Danzo, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Danzo opened the one eye that had been exposed and said in a hoarse voice, "Uchiha Kakuzan, I have already summoned the Walking Priestess back, and Kabuto Yakushi has also returned with her. What do you plan to do?"

Uchiha Kakuzan perked up when he heard Shimura Danzo's words. He had wanted to bring Yakushi Nonou back because he lacked a skilled medical ninja by his side. Unexpectedly, before Yakushi Nonou even returned, he had already taken care of Tsunade, making this medical genius his own.

So now, the value of Yakushi Nonou isn't as high to him anymore. But no matter what, Nonou is a kind and gentle beauty, and he can't let Danzo kill her.

Uchiha Kakuzan stroked his chin and said, "Call them out. From now on, they'll follow me directly and leave Root."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Danzo, though feeling sorry for his top spy, did not voice any objections and simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

Danzo picked up his cane and tapped the ground. The next moment, a person appeared kneeling in front of him.

"Go and bring the priestess and the medicine man here," Danzo ordered.

The person kneeling didn't speak, but simply bowed and left using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

Neither Uchiha Okayama nor Shimura Danzo were in the mood to speak, so the dimly lit stone chamber fell into silence.

Uchiha Kakuzan glanced around and noticed that there was only a huge stone chair under Danzo's buttocks in the stone chamber. He didn't mind, simply made a hand seal with one hand, used Wood Release to create a wooden chair that was a size larger than the stone chair Danzo was sitting on, and then leisurely sat down.

Shimura Danzo, who was sitting on a stone chair, almost jumped up when he saw Uchiha Kakuzan's actions.

What he saw was Wood Release on Uchiha Kakuzan. You have to understand, Uchiha Kakuzan is from the Uchiha clan. Their clan uses the Sharingan. What do they know about Wood Release?

Wood Release is a rare bloodline limit even among their archenemies, the Senju clan. How could it appear on an Uchiha? If it weren't for Uchiha Kakuzan always having his three-tomoe Sharingan active, he would have suspected that someone was impersonating Uchiha Kakuzan to tease him.

It's important to know that Hashirama Senju's Wood Release cells are incredibly aggressive. According to Orochimaru's research, apart from the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, no other eye could counteract Wood Release cells. This is why Danzo was so obsessed with the Sharingan.

In the vast Hidden Leaf Village, only Yamato, a failed experiment, possesses a fragmented understanding of Wood Release.

Danzo Shimura never imagined that Uchiha Kakuzan possessed Wood Release; it was completely beyond his knowledge.

However, Shimura Danzo was a man of deep thoughts. Although he was almost crushing the wooden cane in his hand, he did not ask Uchiha Kakuzan, because he knew that his status with Uchiha Kakuzan was very low and it was impossible for him to ask.

Danzo Shimura tightened his grip on his cane, his facial muscles twitching violently a few times, but he remained silent.

Uchiha Kakuzan also sensed the reaction from Shimura Danzo, but he didn't care. After all, in his view, Danzo was now a puppet in his hands and would never reveal that he knew Wood Release.

After waiting for a while, Uchiha Okayama and Shimura Danzo were approached by the members of the original group who had gone out to call for help. They arrived with two figures, one large and one small.

Uchiha Kakuyama was also seeing Yakushi Nonou for the first time, so he carefully examined her.

The person in front wore a white robe with a hood, had long, soft, golden hair, and a beautiful face. She wore round-framed glasses, as if trying to hide her beauty behind them.

A slight smile played on her lips, making her incredibly approachable and radiating a gentle and virtuous aura.

Chapter 186 An unexpected gain

Chapter 186 Unexpected Gain

This is the famous Walking Shrine Maiden, Root's top spy. Although few people in the entire ninja world know her true identity, her legend lives on.

After scrutinizing Yakushi Nonou, Uchiha Kakuyama turned his gaze to a young man with a youthful face behind her. This young man was not yet fully developed, so he was still relatively short.

He had healthy-looking white hair, wore ordinary clothes, and had the same glasses as Yakushi Nono. Even his smile was exactly the same as Yakushi Nono's.

After the two men arrived in front of Danzo, they did not speak, but knelt down on one knee, ready to obey his orders at any time.

Looking at the two spies he valued most in front of him, Shimura Danzo remained silent for a while before saying in a hoarse voice, "Yakushi Nonou, Yakushi Kabuto, I'm giving you one last mission."

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto immediately sensed something was wrong, because they both knew that since they entered the spy industry, there was no quitting, only sacrifice and silencing.
