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

Chapter 74 The Hokage's Family Affairs Incident

"Even if you have a kaleidoscope, you're still a child. You should spend more time reading books."

Thinking that all those in the Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan were eccentric, Uchiha Takeo, who was also an eccentric, was afraid of raising Uchiha Hikaru too crookedly.

"If you get bored reading, go find some more friends. I happen to have five disciples, so you can go to the advanced ninja academy to teach them tomorrow."

Uchiha Hikaru, who desperately wanted to be useful, was overjoyed upon hearing this, but also worried that she wouldn't do a good job, so she said hesitantly, "Eh? But I don't know how to teach."

"It's alright. If you can't express it verbally, then use your fists to show them your good intentions."

Thinking of how those ruthless clansmen had trained her, Uchiha Hikaru nodded thoughtfully.

After the four finished dinner, the others cleared the table or went to take a shower, while Uchiha Muan returned to his room and opened his Eternal Eye, which had transformed into a magnificent and mysterious shape resembling a square sky and a round earth.

The [Tenjō Ritsu-zun], which had expanded to five thousand meters, easily took in most of Konoha's core area. It also saw Uzumaki Minako, who was in the bathroom, rubbing her Flying Thunder God kunai with her pretty face flushed.

(Quickly resolve this!)

Leaving behind a shadow clone, at the call of the beautiful young woman, Uchiha Takeo instantly arrived at the misty bathroom and began to trade an import and export business worth hundreds of millions with the young master of the Senju of the Forest.

"Ansang, I'll be waiting for you at the same time tomorrow."

"Judging by the time, you can head towards the Land of Whirlpools. Next time, it'll be in the wilderness, Lady Minako."

"Ugh, you have the Flying Thunder God Technique, don't you? I think you just like to mess with people."

Minako Uzumaki nestled against Takeo Uchiha's chest. "And you have to win, Takeo."

"Mrs. Minako, don't you know my strength?"

"Hmph~"

Having temporarily bid farewell to the gentle, affectionate, and alluring Minako Uzumaki, Uchiha Takeo, having learned of the message from his shadow clone, returned home and appeared in the bathroom.

After washing himself clean, he returned to the room wearing a bathrobe. Two beautiful young women, each with their own unique charm, were looking at him shyly.

"An Jun, a barrier has been set up over Guang's side. She won't be able to hear anything tonight."

Uchiha Rinpoche gave Uchiha Takehiko, who was still standing at the door, a charming glance and said with a huff, "Can't you see Kaori is getting impatient?"

"I didn't!"

"I'll go first then."

"Hey, the government is bullying me again."

"Darling~"

When Kaori Minamoto looked at him with her eyes brimming with spring water, Takeo Uchiha had already kicked the door shut and leaped forward.

The moon sets and the sun rises; in the blink of an eye, it's the next day.

Just as dawn was breaking, Uchiha Hikaru opened his eyes, released the large cat doll he had been hugging all night, then lifted the blankets printed with various cats, put on cat-patterned slippers, and walked to his wardrobe.

Compared to the daily necessities she bought with Kaori at home, her clothes for going out were much simpler, perfectly in line with the Uchiha clan's minimalist aesthetic.

Following Uchiha Takehiro's example, she tied her long hair into a high ponytail and let it swing behind her, fully revealing her fair face and slender neck. She wore long-sleeved black pants that were easy to move in, and new ninja boots on her feet.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, with the Uchiha clan crest on the back of her top, she was a stunning Uchiha beauty from every angle.

After looking around with the smugness of a little girl for a while, Uchiha Hikaru opened the door and went downstairs, when she sensed that something was wrong.

"At this time, Kaori-neechan and Seiri-neechan should be up by now."

She walked to the stairwell, looked up at the three closed doors on the second floor, and sensed their presence. Her eyes turned into Sharingan. Her face flushed, she ran into the bathroom, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and then went to the dining room to prepare breakfast.

(The older brothers and sisters are all in one room.)

People in the Warring States period generally married relatively young. Having received information about this, Uchiha Hikaru couldn't help but let his mind wander until he smelled the burnt fried eggs, which brought him back to his senses. He then hurriedly tidied up the scene.

After spending some time preparing breakfast, Uchiha Hikaru sat down in the dining room, rubbed his cheeks, and began to eat his breakfast in small bites.

Uchiha Hikari has no complaints about her current life. Her adopted older brothers and sisters all care for her very much, and when she walks in the clan's territory, the clansmen treat her with respect and courtesy.

Even when walking around Konoha Village, the fan-shaped clan emblem on their backs garners respectful glances.

The storms and hardships of the outside world were all shielded by his brothers. Compared to his own life during the Warring States period, this place was like paradise.

(So, there's nothing to be unhappy about.)

After finishing a glass of milk and clearing his plate back into the kitchen, Uchiha Hikaru sat alone on the sofa, looking at the spacious living room with a sense of emptiness.

I feel like I'm still all alone...

Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on his head, and a doting yet helpless voice pulled Uchiha Hikaru back to reality.

"You troublesome little sister."

"No, Hikaru is very obedient."

"Yes, yes, Hikaru is the most obedient."

Seeing that Uchiha Hikaru didn't turn around, Uchiha Takeoshi withdrew his hand. "Wait here for me, I'll be right there."

"And you little brat, don't let your imagination run wild."

"Guangcai wasn't thinking anything out of line."

Hearing the footsteps leaving behind her, Uchiha Hikari quickly pulled a tissue from the coffee table in front of her, wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, and straightened her back. Suddenly, she saw a funny face appear in front of her, which startled her so much that she screamed "Whoa!"

"Hahaha, I didn't know Hikaru could have such a cute expression."

"elder brother!"

Uchiha Hikaru puffed up his cheeks in anger, his black eyes filled with mist, and he lunged forward menacingly.

Hearing the commotion, Uchiha Rin came down from the second floor. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Uchiha Takehiko suppressing the Mangekyou Sharingan girl with one hand. His face immediately darkened, and he rushed to Uchiha Hikaru's side, slapped the boy's hand away, and hugged Hikaru to comfort him.

Uchiha Takeo shrugged and went back to the bathroom to clean himself.

"Governance Sister".

Uchiha Hikaru mumbled something and buried his head in his sister's warm embrace.

"If your brother bullies you again in the future, remember to tell me or Kaori-neechan. Next time you cook, make sure that bully eats rice with salt."

"Pfft."

Uchiha Hikaru chuckled, then raised her head and sniffed with her small, delicate nose. "Sister, you seem to have a strange smell about you."

"Huh!"

"Sister, go take a shower first."

Uchiha Rin's face flushed red instantly. Under Uchiha Hikaru's questioning gaze, he quickly got up and ran towards the bathroom, almost bumping into Uchiha Takehiro as he came out.

"Hmph, it's all your fault!"

Uchiha Takeo, who had been inexplicably given a Byakugan, walked to the restaurant, ate a few bites, waved to Uchiha Hikaru, and the two strolled slowly to the Senior Ninja Academy.

Orochimaru and his five little brats were waiting in Class 1's classroom early in the morning.

"Teacher Wu'an."

The shadow clone training these past few days has been quite effective. The five of them aren't stupid; they learn quickly, and their strength is all between genin and chunin.

For a six-year-old, that's already quite an achievement.
