Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's statement was simply a result of his insight into her deep-seated emotion of 'being needed'.

"You, you monkey..."

Mito Uzumaki, holding a child in one arm, gestured for Hiruzen Sarutobi to sit down quickly with the other: "How come I never knew you were so good at making people happy?"

"There is absolutely no intention of flattery on my part. Lady Mito is truly the pillar of Konoha," Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly.

"The monkey still needs your help in many things!"

"You see, this child doesn't have a name yet. Lord Mito, please give him one..."

Choosing a name can deepen the bond between people and is a manifestation of a sense of ritual.

Mito Uzumaki was quite pleased with the suggestion and, after a moment's thought, said, "Hmm, how about we call him Yamato?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost immediately gave a thumbs-up:

"Great name! It signifies peace and healthy growth, embodying simplicity, strength, and uprightness. It may seem ordinary, but its meaning is profound..."

Mito Uzumaki was amused by Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression: "Stop bragging for me, you monkey! I was thinking 'a rustic name is easier to raise,' not what you're saying."

Having been exposed, Hiruzen Sarutobi feigned surprise and then said in a serious tone:

"Look, you're being modest. I've heard Hashirama and Tobirama say since I was little that you are the most talented and intelligent female ninja in the ninja world!"

Even Madara Uchiha acknowledges your abilities!

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Madara, Mito Uzumaki paused slightly, then remarked with a sigh, "Madara? It's been so long since I've heard his name..."

"He and Hashirama, compared to me, are truly like a pair of star-crossed lovers!"

There was a hint of bitterness in his tone, a bitterness that had spanned decades.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes darted around: "Lord Mito, what do you mean by that?"

"By the way, do you know where Madara's body is? I've been studying Tobirama-sama's notes lately..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very curious about this.

If Tobirama Senju studied Izuna Uchiha, why wouldn't he study Madara Uchiha's corpse?

However, this point was not mentioned in the notes; there were only some guesses and clues.

Mito Uzumaki scoffed, "I don't know either!"

"Back then, when Hashirama brought Madara's body back, Tobirama insisted on dissecting it..."

"But Hashirama was furious because of this, and his chakra erupted so powerfully that even the Nine-Tails trembled. The look in his eyes when he looked at Tobirama could be described as murderous."

"He's never done this for me before!" At this moment, the chakra that Mito Uzumaki naturally exuded made Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly gasp in amazement.

Not only hers, but also a trace of Nine-Tails chakra intertwined within it.

Who said this old lady doesn't have more than two years left?

This old lady is quite serious and capable!

"Hashirama didn't tell anyone where he buried Madara's body, not even me..."

"Oh dear, Hiruzen, I've lost my composure..." Mito Uzumaki snapped back to reality, merely tilting her head slightly as the Tailed Beast chakra was quickly drawn back into her body:

"I hope you didn't find this amusing?"

"What are you saying, Lord Mito!" Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly.

"Don't be angry. Isn't this how things have always been between the Senju and Uchiha clans? Look at the strange relationship between Izuna Uchiha and our teacher..."

Mito Uzumaki nodded in deep agreement: "There's something wrong between these two races!"

"However, that's all in the past... I actually miss that time now!" Mito Uzumaki's gaze softened.

"We used to argue a lot, but we all thought we wouldn't have any more arguments."

"Hiruzen, you have to do a good job. Maybe you can resolve the thousand-year-old feud between the Senju and Uchiha clans?" Mito Uzumaki encouraged Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled to himself.

If the old lady finds out about his plan, that would be terrible…

I need to sit at the same table as Tobirama-sensei.

After Hashirama Senju's death, one of his last wishes was to instruct his widow, Mito, to closely supervise his younger brother Tobirama's research work to prevent him from creating any forbidden techniques that would incur divine wrath...

"Don't worry, I will do my best to mend the relationship between the village and the Uchiha..." Hiruzen Sarutobi replied vaguely.

They are indeed planning to glue it together, but as for how to glue it, please don't ask...

"Lord Mito, I entrust Yamato to you..." Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and began chatting with Mito about village affairs and everyday matters.

From the reforms of the 'Konoha Committee' to the development of medicines and the efforts to win over the Hyuga branch family, the emphasis was placed on the village's future focus on scientific research.

It also subtly emphasizes that when the village's financial reserves are in surplus, a special fund will be established for the Uzumaki clan to help future Uzumaki orphans who join the village, enabling them to quickly establish new homes.

Mito Uzumaki listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked his real question:

Do you know of any secret techniques that can be used to assist in connecting the meridians?

Mito Uzumaki's expression became intriguing as she looked meaningfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

034 Mito's Gift: Gold Coins Galore?

As people age, their memories generally become blurred.

However, Mito Uzumaki is clearly not included in this category.

With her mastery of sealing techniques, it's as if she can seal and preserve memories, keeping every little detail about the people she cherishes in her mind...

This might also be her spiritual weapon against the Nine-Tailed Fox's corruption.

In short, when Hiruzen Sarutobi seized the opportunity to ask this question, Mito Uzumaki instantly recalled a certain white-haired man who wished to remain anonymous.

Back then, Tobirama Senju would always subtly ask her similar questions...

Hashirama always warned Mito not to tell Tobirama too much, or things might go wrong.

His younger brother is great in every way, except he's too daring!

Things that seem outlandish and impossible might just come to pass in his hands…

"Hiruzen, why would you ask such a question?"

Mito Uzumaki said sarcastically, "That's true, you read your teacher's research notes, didn't you? I'm quite curious about his notes too..."

"Someone like him would never leave a trace if it weren't for scientific research. Did he ever curse me in his notes?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, seemingly lost in thought, said, "Oh dear, how could that be, Mito-sama? The teacher's notes are all related to research..."

I never expected Mito Uzumaki to have such a good memory! A tiny bit of the monkey's tail peeked out…

"What a good apprentice of Tobirama! He's quite adept at protecting his privacy..."

Mito Uzumaki shook her head with a sigh, even though she had asked to see Tobirama's notes.

Judging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's evasive manner, it's clear he won't agree.

After all, R&D notes aren't just for recording data and inspiration; it's normal to occasionally include a couple of complaints...

The Hokage also deeply agrees with this view.

Leaving aside the fact that he read Tobirama Senju's Notebook.

In his past life, even his closest loved ones and friends were absolutely forbidden from looking at his browsing history or bookmarks...

"Lord Mito, this is what happened."

"The teacher's notes contain some ideas about severing limbs one after another, which are extremely valuable to ninjas who have been wounded on the battlefield."

"I saw in the notes that the teacher was stuck on the 'materials', but for some reason, he only marked your name but didn't write down the subsequent thought process."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was full of sincerity.

Is this the truth?

That is absolutely true.

Developing limb regeneration technology was one of his plans, but there just happened to be another aspect.

Therefore, the Hokage believed that this was not deception, but rather that the truth was not fully told.

“You know, although monkeys are not very capable, they have always been quite steady…” Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a thought.

This time, he used his own credit score!

Mito Uzumaki pondered for a while and then understood.

It's a monkey, not Tobirama...

They have always been more than capable of bearing heavy burdens, but lack the drive to make a breakthrough.

Now, it can be said that without destruction, there can be no construction. It was not easy to regain confidence and show sincere filial piety and care for her...

With a gesture of apology, support for Uzumaki, and the delivery of Yamato, even Kurama (the Nine-Tails) decided to temporarily put things aside.

Such a good child must have a clear understanding of what he's doing!

"See, I was just teasing you, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Mito Uzumaki chuckled, rose, and went into the inner room, handing Hiruzen Sarutobi a scroll and three pendants.

"What is this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked respectfully.

“When I’m with this fox, I always have to find something to do. Some are little things I made myself, and some are things that Hashirama left for me…” Mito Uzumaki picked up the dark green one in the center and gestured for Hiruzen Sarutobi to come closer.

"This was left to me by Hashirama. I'm giving it to you, monkey." Mito Uzumaki put the necklace on the Hokage: "Wearing it all the time is too painful; seeing it reminds me of him. I only take it out to look at it occasionally."

"Now that Yamato is with me, there's no need for him to stay..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded obediently.

He didn't expect the necklace to have any special effects.

It's probably similar to Tsunade's, something that makes one feel refreshed and clear-headed.

The greatest value of this necklace lies in 'Mito Uzumaki's self-affirmation'.
