Izuna, restore the glory of the Uchiha!

Watching Hirai and Sosuke gradually walk away, Jiri also embarked on a journey in the opposite direction.

It was still early before her shift started, so she hesitated for a moment before deciding to go to the clan's office first.

"Oh, it's Zhili. What's up?"

Izuna, who had just started his day's work, was quite surprised to see the purple-haired female ninja who pushed open the door and enter. He was surprised that Chiri would come to see him at this time.

As Izuna spoke, he moved the documents on Koichi's chair aside, gesturing for Chiri to sit down.

"It's about Rihei."

Zhili got straight to the point.

"Hinata?"

Izuna paused slightly as he sorted through the scrolls he needed to approve this morning.

"She stayed with you last night, did something happen? Or is the child not feeling well?"

Thinking of this, his gaze became serious, and the vermilion brush in his hand hovered in mid-air.

"No... Riping is perfectly fine."

Zhili shook his head, but the worry in his eyes did not fade.

"Lord Izuna, perhaps my words at this moment are a bit too offensive."

She took a deep breath:

"But is the Caged Bird Seal truly an irreversible technique?"

Upon hearing Chiri's question, Izuna remained silent for a moment.

He could understand her feelings, but he also felt powerless and resentful in the face of the cruel reality.

However, as a decision-maker, he couldn't easily offer words of comfort.

"Currently, there is indeed no known way to reverse this."

Izuna spoke the truth, but seeing the sudden dimming in Chiri's eyes, he added:

"However, if the lab's follow-up research makes sufficient progress, I will try to put this topic on the agenda."

"laboratory……"

Zhili seemed to be deep in thought.

"By the way, the last time I passed by the lab, there were lights inside at night... Back then, you weren't even in the tribe's territory yet..."

She still remembers!

Ever since Izuna saw the question about governance in the encyclopedia, he hurriedly sent people to install light-blocking equipment in the laboratory, but unexpectedly, Zhili still had a vivid memory of the laboratory's anomaly.

It seems that some things can no longer be hidden, and there's no need to hide them anymore.

That said, he originally intended to recruit Chiri into the laboratory and utilize her talents in genjutsu and chakra control.

If she could accept Tobirama's existence and cooperate with him for the sake of Hibiki, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

However, it all depends on how determined she is to help Rihō.

After a moment of contemplation, Izuna put down his pen and slowly began to speak.

"Zhili, if I had a chance to turn the caged bird around, of course, only a possibility."

The requirement is that you keep quiet about whatever you see in the lab, no matter what. If…

"I can!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhili's expression suddenly became agitated.

"That kind of spell, like the Caged Bird Seal..."

She murmured something, clenched her fist, and considering the occasion, she ultimately didn't say anything.

Izuna knew exactly what she wanted to say and chuckled softly.

"Come to the lab at 10 p.m. tonight. You don't need to be early, just be on time."

He concluded.

After seeing off the preoccupied Chiri, Izuna didn't rush to deal with the pile of documents that had accumulated over the past few days.

Although Koichi had already gone home on leave to be with his wife and children, nothing major had happened in the clan.

He decided to go and check on his dear brother first.

He returned in a hurry yesterday, covered in dust from the journey. After quickly dealing with the letters at hand, he didn't even go back to the main house, but spent the night in his office fully clothed.

It's time to meet with Madara and let him know I'm safe.

Push open the door to the clan chief's office.

"Izuna!"

He was greeted by a pair of strong arms.

"Ugh...!"

The love of the Ninja World Asura was a little too heavy. He twisted his neck with difficulty, patted Madara's back, and it took him a while to recover from the suffocating embrace.

"A lot has happened in the capital..."

After the two brothers sat down, Izuna told Madara almost everything about his experiences in the past two weeks surrounding the Daimyo Prefecture.

Even the part about Bamboo and White wasn't embellished. Given Madara's sensitivity to matters of love between men and women, he would only regard her as an ordinary information broker.

"As expected of Izuna!"

After hearing this, Ban's expression remained as usual, as if to say, "My brother is indeed a genius."

Then, as if remembering something, he took out several scrolls from the drawer. With a slightly larger movement, he also pulled out a beautiful, unsealed blue envelope.

A corner of the envelope was visible, with the words "To Hashirama" faintly discernible on it.

spot:"……"

Izuna: "..."

Under Izuna's watchful gaze, he managed to keep his expression straight, stuffing the envelope back in without changing his demeanor, and even pressing it down with his palm.

Both of them tacitly avoided bringing up the topic at this moment.

To ease the tension, Izuna quickly opened the scrolls.

This is about the admissions information for Nanga Technical School:

95 people aged five to fifteen.

48 people aged 15 to 25.

There are 64 people aged 25 and above.

The other content includes the students' detailed backgrounds and skills.

"I heard... you're planning to be reassigned to a different class?"

Madara sat cross-legged on his new chair. After hearing that Izuna had given positive feedback, the craftsmen rushed to deliver this chair all over the office compound, and Madara was no exception.

He lay comfortably, his gaze fixed on Izuna, who was sketching among several scrolls.

"We do have this plan."

With a clatter, Izuna put the one in his hand aside and picked up a new one to continue revising.

"Older members of the clan have a heavier burden of supporting their families. Most of them sign up because they hope that after learning basic grammar and arithmetic, they can immediately enter the administrative agencies to work and earn a salary."

There's no need to teach them too much theory; a crash course is the most suitable.

Younger students have greater potential. They can not only learn basic knowledge, but I also plan to select some promising talents and guide them towards a specialized field.

After a short while, based on the skills and age of these tribesmen, Izuna divided them into different classes.

The grammar class for learning document processing, the arithmetic class for learning material auditing, and everyone else went directly to the basic class where they had to learn everything.

"The teacher dispatched by the daimyo will arrive at the clan's territory in about three days. In order to make this school more impressive and to make everyone take it seriously, I suggest that we hold a simple opening ceremony."

"You can decide."

Ban was very pleased to see his younger brother handle things so efficiently.

"Then, brother, you should prepare your speech."

That's exactly what Izuna was waiting for.

"Uh-huh?"

Ban Shao almost slid off the chair.

"Me?"

"certainly!"

Izuna looked at him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"As the head of the Uchiha clan, it's normal for me to say a few words at the start of the school year. Besides, you were the one who founded this school, so it's perfectly legitimate."

"All right……"

Although Madara felt it was a bit troublesome, he agreed after seeing Izuna's unyielding expression.

Izuna put the documents in his hand aside, his expression serious.

"Next, brother, let's get down to business."

Regarding the peace talks with the Senju clan, and the specific details to follow.
