Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 199 For Itachi, the stick must be used.

"Yeah, I don't feel any surprise at all even if I give birth now!"

Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha glared fiercely at Fugaku Uchiha.

Clearly, Fugaku Uchiha still held some traditional ideas, having already observed the sex of the fetus when it was developed to the point where its gender could be determined.

As the firstborn son and the head of the Uchiha clan, he placed great importance on having offspring.

Seeing this, Chiga realized that this was the Naruto world, not her previous life, so knowing the gender in advance was normal.

Furthermore, the Naruto world isn't exactly a scientific world; there are countless ways to know what's going on inside someone's stomach. The simplest way is the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, which makes it incredibly easy to tell if someone is male or female.

Chiga felt that even if the Hyuga clan stopped being ninjas, they could still become doctors and make a fortune with their Byakugan. The Byakugan was much more useful than X-rays!

"Ahem, it's a boy. I've already decided to name him Itachi, Uchiha Itachi!"

Fugaku Uchiha coughed awkwardly, and then said.

"Hmm, not a bad name. It sounds like he's a very filial son."

Chiga nodded, then said seriously, "It seems you'll also find the gift I prepared useful, Mikoto-nee!"

"You actually prepared a gift?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha was also surprised, saying that Mikoto had only said that to change the subject, but he didn't expect Chiga to actually have a gift prepared.

He knew exactly how stingy Qianhe was; getting him to spend money wouldn't be easy.

"Of course, he's my nephew after all!"

Chiga smiled, and then took out the books he had prepared long ago from his ninja tool bag.

"Chief Fugaku, Mikoto, let me tell you, you should start educating your children early, especially your boys."

"My dad used this family-inherited parenting book to teach me!"

"Look at me, I'm only ten years old and I've already awakened the three-tomoe gem!"

"If you, Aunt Mikoto, teach Itachi according to this book, he'll definitely succeed!"

"Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is child's play!"

Chiga was spouting wildly impressive words, while Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha had beady eyes on their faces.

Fugaku Uchiha felt that this line of reasoning was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.

"Thank you so much, Uncle!"

Mikoto Uchiha took the book from Chiga and casually flipped through it.

Children need to be disciplined to grow up.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child." If you can't beat a child to death, beat them until they're dead!

They fight a little every three days and a big fight every five days.

Break the wooden stick, use a steel pipe, bend the steel pipe, and use Fire Release!

[Negative emotion from Mikoto Uchiha, Emotion Value +50! First time receiving negative emotion from Mikoto Uchiha, rewarded with the "Many Children, Many Blessings" talent!]

Chiga: "." This sudden outburst almost broke my back!

I don't even have a girlfriend, what's the point of giving me this talent?

Uchiha Mikoto also had bulging veins on her forehead.

No wonder Chiga caught Kushina's eye; the two really are birds of a feather.

Even when giving gifts, they come up with such unique ideas.

If she had followed the methods described in this book, her son would have been considered exceptionally gifted if he had lived past the age of three.

Mikoto Uchiha took several deep breaths to calm herself down, then smiled gently again and said, "Fugaku, please take your uncle to the living room. I'll make you some tea!"

People in the ninja world are not so delicate, and Uchiha Mikoto is also a Jonin, so she has no intention of hiring someone to take care of her.

After Mikoto Uchiha left, Fugaku Uchiha asked Chiga, "You rarely come here, so tell me, what brings you here today?"

Chiga asked directly, "I heard that Chief Fugaku is preparing to lead his clansmen to the front lines again?"

"Yes, after Itachi is born, I plan to lead Yashiro and the others to the front lines."

"The situation in Konoha is tense right now, and as members of Konoha, we should do our part for the village!"

Fugaku Uchiha glanced at Chiga and then spoke.

"Isn't it for the position of Fourth Hokage?"

Chiga said disdainfully, "We're all from the same family, why are you playing these ghost stories with me!"

Seeing that Chiga had guessed his thoughts, Fugaku Uchiha didn't bother to hide it and asked in return, "Is it not allowed?"

Back then, Fugaku Uchiha was persuaded by Hiruzen Sarutobi to lead his clansmen to gain merit in battle.

Now that I have a child, I'm even more career-driven.

It seems that he feels it's not impossible to compete for the Hokage position.

This is only natural, and Chiga doesn't have much to say about it.

However, the position of Fourth Hokage really had nothing to do with Fugaku Uchiha.

Chiga didn't need to be subtle and said directly, "I met Lord Jiraiya today."

"From him, I learned that he had recommended Minato-senpai as the next Hokage to the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage also thought it was a good idea!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's pupils suddenly contracted.

He also remembered that Chika had strongly recommended Minato, and the family had invested a lot in Minato.

And Minato certainly lived up to the expectations placed on the Uchiha clan.

However, while war is a disaster, it also presents an opportunity.

That's why Fugaku Uchiha had other ideas.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

My ambition, which had just begun to rise, has vanished just like that?!

Seeing this, Chiga advised, "Clan Chief Fugaku, don't overthink it. When Minato takes over, you can easily climb to a higher position, wouldn't that be great?"

With the support of the Third Hokage and the cooperation of Jiraiya and others, as long as Minato survives, it's a sure thing that he will become the Fourth Hokage.

After a long silence, Fugaku Uchiha finally let out a heavy sigh and said, "I understand."

"However, it is still necessary to lead the people to support the front line."

"There's already some gossip circulating in the village, saying that our Uchiha clan is only good at bullying their own kind!"

"If a real war were to occur, they would only send young ninjas to appease the village!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga frowned; he sensed something was amiss.

From the moment the Uchiha clan was sent to the Land of Water front, it seems there was a force within the village compelling them to go to the front lines.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, let our people go to the Land of Earth's front lines!"

"I happen to need my people to help me find a few people in the Land of Rain."

"Furthermore, Clan Chief Fugaku, you don't need to go out and lead the team anymore; you can leave it to Minato."

Fugaku Uchiha was about to ask Chiga who she was looking for, but after hearing the last sentence, he immediately said with displeasure, "What, do you think I still have any illusions about becoming Hokage?"

"No, I just think that Itachi lacked a father's guidance from birth, which wasn't good for his development!"

Chiga rolled his eyes at Uchiha Fugaku; he really hadn't thought that much about it.

[Negative emotions from Uchiha Fugaku, emotion value +80!]

half a month later.

During this time, Chiga and Kushina saw off Tsunade and Misa Uzumaki, who were determined to leave.

Their departure was a secret within Konoha Village, known to only a handful of people.

After all, it would be a huge blow to morale if the medical genius left the village during the war, and it would also allow enemy ninjas to search for Tsunade's whereabouts.

Therefore, Tsunade left the village at night, with only Chiga, Kushina, and Shizune seeing her off.

Meanwhile, the Chunin Exams have also ended.

Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai officially became Chunin.

Shizune and Rin Nohara, both of whom were pursuing medical ninjas, lacked the necessary skills and were eliminated in the individual battles, failing to advance.

As for Obito Uchiha, unsurprisingly, he missed the exam because he was late.

After the Chunin Exams, Minato led Kakashi and the other two to the front lines of the Land of Earth.

The Uchiha clan also provided one hundred ninjas to go to the battlefield with Minato.

Having clearly defined his future path, Minato now urgently needs to accumulate merits on the front lines.

Moreover, Jiraiya is the commander of the Land of Earth, so with him around, Minato will never lack opportunities.

In the Hokage's office.

"The Third Hokage!"

Upon entering the Hokage's office, Chiga bowed slightly and greeted him politely.

They had a relatively peaceful time in the village, presumably because Hiruzen Sarutobi had given their squad a special day off.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at Chiga, and said kindly, "You've arrived, Chiga. How have you been resting in the village these past few days?"

"Lord Hokage, please just say which front you're going to!"

Chiga was too lazy to play games with Hiruzen Sarutobi, so calling him over alone meant he must have a task for him.

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said directly, "I will send you to the Land of Water in three days, where you will be under Orochimaru's direct command."

"Understood! I'll go and prepare."

Chiga nodded. He didn't object to going to the Water Country front, as he wasn't as severely restrained as his clansmen.

"Wait, I haven't finished yet!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi beckoned, signaling Chiga to take a few steps forward.

"Forehead"

Chiga looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused.

Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes and didn't speak, but simply tapped the table with his fingers.

After a long silence, he suddenly opened his eyes: "I have an S-rank mission for you to complete alone, and it needs to be done in secret!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga was immediately startled. Judging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hesitant expression and tone, this was definitely an unusual mission. He thought for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Hokage-sama, please speak."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, slowly walked to the window with his back to Chiga, and said:

"You should know that each country attaches great importance to its bloodline limits and will never allow ninjas with bloodline limits to be easily captured by enemy countries. They will take back even the corpses, and destroy the bodies on the spot if they cannot be taken back."

"The Hyuga clan on the front lines in the Land of Water has lost thirty ninjas since they went to the battlefield. According to intelligence, the Mist Ninja are specifically targeting members of the Hyuga clan."

"So many?"

Upon hearing this, Chiga was immediately startled, as he was well aware of the importance of bloodline limits.
