The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 42 She was bullied at work

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Wearing the Hokage's robes, Uchiha Muan stood spiritedly in the spacious Hokage's office, gazing at the beautiful scenery of Konoha through the fan-shaped window. Holding a cup of green tea, he enjoyed the summer breeze blowing in from outside, looking relaxed and content.

"Today is another peaceful and leisurely day."

Upon hearing this seemingly pointless and whiny remark, the elegant woman sitting in her office chair behind Uchiha Takehiro, who was furiously writing amidst a pile of documents, suddenly had a vein bulge on her forehead. She lost control of her grip and snapped the pen in two, the crisp sound of it breaking making the young Hokage's lips curl into a smirk.

This was immediately followed by Mito Uzumaki's sarcastic question.

"Lord Hokage, you've been in office for three days now, and you haven't signed a single official document or mission assignment. Isn't this blatant dereliction of duty?"

"Huh, it's been three days already? I haven't felt anything substantial at all."

After a ceremony that was neither grand nor shabby for the Hokage succession, Uchiha Takeoshi's portrait was officially carved on the Hokage Rock, and he officially took over the Hokage Building.

After learning about the Hokage's daily work on the first day, he immediately became a hands-off manager after issuing a long-term, well-paid B-rank mission to capture ninjas causing trouble in the Land of Fire.

Just kidding. Uchiha Muan didn't even have the desire to look at those miscellaneous trivial matters and low-level tasks. He dumped them all on Uzumaki Mito, euphemistically calling it "delegation."

Furthermore, since missions involving the movements of a country or village are rare, A-rank and S-rank missions are few and far between, which has led to Uchiha Takeo being as leisurely as a retired old man.

"These tasks are the Hokage's responsibility. Even if the specific matters and affairs involved are not important, they concern every aspect of Konoha Village and are the cornerstone of Konoha's healthy development. Please take them seriously, Hokage, and do not entrust them all to me, a mere secretary assisting the Hokage!"

Still dressed in a white kimono, the pretty and mature Mito Uzumaki was overwhelmed by the pile of documents that was taller than her.

At first, Mito Uzumaki thought that Uchiha Takeo, who had no management experience, would run wild after becoming Hokage and make sweeping reforms according to his own wishes. Unexpectedly, all the work fell on his shoulders, while the other party was as idle as if nothing was wrong.

Her initial idea was to supervise, not to put in the effort.

The two of them are practically the opposite of each other, and the worst part is that he's not even the Hokage!

"No, no, Secretary-General Mito, you're mistaken."

Uchiha Wu'an shook his head repeatedly, took a sip of the tea that was initially bitter but later became sweet, and then said under the fiery gaze of the noblewoman, "I am just a novice and cannot compare to Secretary Mito's rich experience."

"Moreover, all the documents coming from below, and the documents I issue, are reviewed by Secretary-General Mito in great detail. Doesn't that also satisfy Secretary-General Mito's requirement to keep an eye on me?"

"If you don't keep a close eye on him, that naturally evil Uchiha brat might do something bad."

Looking at Uchiha Takeoshi's nonchalant attitude, Mito Uzumaki wanted to burn all the documents on the table and pour the ashes onto that infuriating face.

But rank matters, and Mito Uzumaki's chest heaved with rage, her eyes gleaming dangerously. "Hokage-sama, aren't you afraid of being completely sidelined by me?"

"Why be afraid?"

Uchiha Wu'an calmly poured Mito Uzumaki a cup of tea, his voice soothing yet firm, as if he were stating an unshakeable truth.

"I am the Hokage!"

Mito Uzumaki was speechless. As the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, the daughter of the Uzumaki clan patriarch, and the wife of Hashirama Senju, she understood the importance of titles and status. She couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it. Suddenly, she realized that she was being bullied at work!

Finally, Mito Uzumaki muttered to herself.

"You'll regret this!"

"Haha, don't get so angry, have some tea and calm down."

Uchiha Muan leaned against the desk and handed the teacup to Uzumaki Mito. After a couple of seconds, the sullen noblewoman reached out and took the teacup, taking a sip with her bright red lips, which were almost as vibrant as a young man's.

"If one person can't handle it, you can always find another person to help you."

Uchiha Wu'an glanced at the side of the Hokage Building, the Senju clan's territory, and said meaningfully.

"I haven't seen Moriki-san lately, has something happened? And since nothing's wrong, Mrs. Minako could come and help. How can the Secretary-General manage without anyone under his command?"

Since the release of the B-rank mission to capture the rebellious ninjas, many Uchiha ninjas have started to leave the village in groups to carry out missions, hoping to support their Hokage and because the rewards for B-rank missions are almost as good as those for A-rank missions, and they even get a free katana. With a single sweep of their Sharingan, they are all dead.

As a result of the aftermath of the war, wandering ninjas who had committed crimes all over the Land of Fire were imprisoned by the police department.

In addition, some spies from other countries were also exposed one after another, and the entire Land of Fire settled down peacefully at a visible speed.

The Uchiha clan members, active in the Land of Fire, are powerful, ruthless, and handsome, and their dashing figures have unexpectedly garnered them considerable popularity among the people.

With the added prestige of Uchiha Muan becoming Hokage, some Konoha ninjas began to change their opinion of the Uchiha. They realized that the Uchiha did have the right to be arrogant, and since someone had become Hokage, what was wrong with being a little arrogant?

If you're so capable, why don't you produce a Naruto from your own family?

As the Land of Fire gradually achieves peace and stability, Uchiha Takeo's growth level also rises steadily.

He invested all his points into upgrading the Kaleidoscope, and the range of the left eye of [Tian Chang Li Zun] reached two thousand meters. Standing on the Hokage Building, he could silently see most of the Senju clan's territory.

After a slight detour, Senju Senju was thoroughly exposed by Uchiha Takeo, who also discovered Senju Moriki, who was imprisoned in the clan and constantly complained about "killing all the evil Uchiha," "how can the Uchiha become Hokage," and "the Hokage position should be mine."

Incidentally, I also caught a glimpse of Minako Uzumaki's mature and voluptuous body, as well as Tsunade, who seemed depressed and sullen.

"Thank you for your concern about Moriki, Hokage-sama. He is currently cultivating himself in the clan's territory, hoping to improve his strength."

Upon hearing that Uchiha Muan had become Hokage, Senju Moriki made a huge fuss, wanting to organize a force to attack the Uchiha clan's territory and wipe out the Uchiha clan. His actions completely disappointed Uzumaki Mito.

But since it's his own child, he could only seal its chakra and keep it in the clan's territory until it figured things out.

"As for Minako's help... thank you very much, Hokage-sama."

Mito Uzumaki had no reason to refuse the opportunity to add her own direct clansmen to the Hokage Building.

"Then I'll leave today's work to you, Secretary-General Mito."

"There are still quite a few ninjutsu in the Book of Sealing that I haven't looked at yet, so I'll be going now. Bye-bye."

Uchiha Muan vanished from the office in an instant, leaving Mito Uzumaki alone with a complex and indescribable expression. She clearly understood one thing in her heart.

Her Third Hokage was still at the peak of his rapid growth in strength. In the face of absolute power, all his petty tricks seemed ridiculous and laughable.

"call."

Mito Uzumaki rubbed her cheeks and continued working.
