The Great Hero Uchiha

On the way from outside the village back into the village, Jiraiya frowned and questioned Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, what on earth is going on? The Fifth Hokage seemed like a reliable person, how could he do something like this right after taking office??"

Minato Namikaze said, "It's not just you, all the other ninjas in the village are like this. You have all shed blood and been injured for the village, dedicating almost your entire lives to it. You are the village's heroes. Now that the ninja world has finally achieved some peace, the village naturally cannot let you, the heroes who protect the village, have sacrificed so much for it in vain."

Look at these...

We're not just concerned about your marriage, but also about your future care in old age.

"Oh, right, from now on, the village will basically reimburse 80% of all medical expenses for injuries."

Jiraiya was a little confused.

"Why did he issue this policy?"

Minato Namikaze sighed, “Too many people died in the past wars. Many people lost their loved ones on the battlefield. The Fifth Boss said that we treated the village as our home and protected it. Now the village should naturally take on the responsibility of being our family and consider our future lives. We can no longer ignore everything like before.”

Jiraiya stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time, and his anger dissipated almost completely.

After all, there's nothing wrong with this policy itself, nor is it absurd. It's a good thing for all the ninjas in Konoha. You can't oppose a policy that benefits the village as a whole just because you don't want to get married, can you?

He said, somewhat troubled.

"I can accept things like retirement and healthcare, but why are you interfering with my marriage?"

Minato Namikaze shook his head.

Is it abnormal for family members to be concerned about marriage?

"Uh……"

"The village didn't force you to get married; they just urged and reminded you of these things."

"He's not young anymore, why don't you arrange something for him too?"

"Now we need to focus our efforts on you older folks..." Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, "I've been working on this too, but progress has been a bit slow. By the way, Master, you're still not married. Is there some problem? The village will help you with some of the financial burden. If you haven't met the right person, the village can also help arrange blind dates."

"..."

Jiraiya is starting to regret coming back!

P.S.: Chapter 3

213. Jiraiya, it's time you started thinking about how to pay off Tsunade's gambling debts.

Jiraiya hadn't returned to Konoha for a long time, and he was quite surprised to see the village's prosperity.

I also learned more about the current situation in Konoha from Minato Namikaze.

Jiraiya looked surprised.

"Why did he delegate all the Hokage's authority? Such a big move...aren't he afraid of causing problems?"

Minato Namikaze said with mixed feelings.

"Administrative efficiency: When the village was small, the Hokage could handle all affairs on his own. But now the village is growing larger and more prosperous. If we continue to manage it using the old system, many things will be left unattended. Continuing to hold onto power is not conducive to the village's future development, and..."

The village is not just a village for ninjas, it belongs to everyone.

Besides ninjas, ordinary people should also have some rights and contribute to the development of the village.

At this point, Minato Namikaze sighed and added, "Actually, he had proposed this idea a long time ago, but I was worried that there would be problems and that I wouldn't be able to handle them, so I didn't adopt it... Master, now that you're back, don't leave for now. The Fifth Hokage has caused such a big commotion, Tsunade and Orochimaru will definitely come back in a while."

"Would the three of you like to get together?"

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then nodded and added a sentence.

"Take me to meet this fifth generation leader."

……

Uchiha Miyuki knew very well that his policies would ultimately backfire on him.

But they didn't pay any attention to it.

It's not that he hasn't thought about marriage, nor that he hasn't thought about love having to be passionate and dramatic, and he doesn't oppose blind dates. It's just that he's too old in his mind. Whether it's Mei Terumi, Vanilla Uzumaki, Kurenai Yuhi, Momoe Aburame, Masami, or even Ai Inuzuka... when he meets these seemingly similar-aged women, they are all only around ten years old.

Therefore, he was left with the impression that these were all just the impressions of a child.

When they met for the second time, Mei Terumi was still a bit younger, but she had developed quite quickly and was already a graceful young woman, no longer a child, which is why she attracted his attention.

And what about vortex vanilla?

The two spent so much time together in Kusagakure. Although the other was already fifteen years old at the time, he had been neglected for a long time and looked like a child.

Furthermore, given Vanilla's dependence on him during the incident, she naturally treats him like a child.

Of course, it's not that I prefer older women, it's just that we were both too young when we first met.

If we met at this age.

As long as we get along well, I'll be willing to consider this issue.

However, the real intention behind issuing this policy was because the war had left too much trauma on people's hearts. For example, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all had their closest relatives die on the battlefield. Apart from themselves, the village only cared about their lives and deaths, and no one cared about their future.

People in this world have become accustomed to war and to its pain, and even deliberately distance themselves from others to avoid pain.

Just like on the battlefield, most people don't interact much with their fellow village ninjas, except for their own squad members.

In the past, Konoha's approach to this was to give these people some compensation, but how can any amount of money compare to the lives of family members? No amount of money can fill the loneliness of being alone at home... Not to mention others, just take Orochimaru. If the village had given him more care, comfort, and guidance during the period after his parents died, how could things have turned out this way?

Maybe even Orochimaru's kids are old enough to run errands by now, and they won't feel that life is so fragile anymore.

Snapping out of his reverie, Uchiha Miyuki lay down on the recliner and dozed off.

At that moment, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze walked in.

Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Miyuki, who was lying down and almost asleep, without any reaction. Jiraiya was a little confused. Are the Hokage so leisurely now? They can even be so idle during their work hours that they can doze off.

Uchiha Miyuki noticed the two of them and immediately sat up, speaking with a serious expression.

"Minato, you're really efficient. You've only been in office for a short time and you've already solved one. Wait a moment, I'll approve your reward right away."

Minato Namikaze immediately shook his head.

"I haven't solved my master's problem yet."

Jiraiya was speechless again. You're the Hokage, so pay more attention to the important matters of the village and stop focusing on other people's marriages!

"I came back this time because I want to inform the village about something."

"what's up?"

"The experimental subjects in the village have joined a mysterious organization, and these people are recruiting members everywhere."

Before Uchiha Miyuki could speak, Namikaze Minato spoke first.

"The village has been paying attention to this organization. Recently, they contacted Orochimaru and invited him to join their organization."

"Orochimaru? Why are they targeting Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Miyuki knew the answer.

It must be that the Akatsuki organization noticed Orochimaru's human experiments and felt that Orochimaru was not of one mind with Konoha, which is why they invited him.

Or perhaps this organization caught Orochimaru's attention.

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, the master and disciple, didn't quite understand this.

Minato Namikaze didn't have deep contact with Orochimaru, so what he knew was only superficial. While Jiraiya and Orochimaru were teammates, Jiraiya had already left the village when Orochimaru changed his ways, and his impression of Orochimaru remained based on past memories. However, the fact that this mysterious organization isn't targeting the other two of the Legendary Sannin, but instead specifically targeting Orochimaru in this remote location, is problematic.

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment before speaking to Jiraiya.

“Master, I hope you and Orochimaru can learn more about these things.”

Jiraiya nodded.

"I'll talk to him about it."

Uchiha Miyuki then spoke up, shifting the focus to more important matters.

"Jiraiya, I know about you. Do you like Tsunade?"

Jiraiya, having his thoughts exposed, coughed violently.

Uchiha Miyuki continued, "Tsunade will definitely be back in the village this time, so you must seize the opportunity! Get Tsunade on maternity leave as soon as possible, and while you're at it, collect your mission rewards and pay off some of Tsunade's gambling debts. As for the rest, you can definitely pay it off together in the future!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes widened.

"160 million isn't enough to pay off gambling debts???"

Uchiha Miyuki nodded. "I estimate that Tsunade owes at least 300 million in gambling debts."

"????"

Minato Namikaze was completely stunned.

He paused for a moment, then immediately said to Jiraiya, "Master, you must have made a lot of money from your books over the years, right? That should be enough to help your wife pay off her gambling debts, right?"

"Uh, I spent all my royalties on travel..."

At this point, Jiraiya finally realized what was happening and immediately retorted, "Wait! No, why should I pay off Tsunade's gambling debts? And you, hurry up and cancel this ridiculous mission, and use the money to do something else! Even just to improve the quality of life for the orphans the village has taken in would be good."

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head.

“I think this amount of money is too little. The future happiness of the three Sannin cannot be measured by this amount of money. I am not issuing this mission on my own behalf, but on behalf of the village and all the people in the Land of Fire who have been protected by you. They certainly hope that you, the heroes who have protected them, can live happily.”

P.S.: Chapter 4

I went to eat halfway through writing.

214. Master, I believe your future child is the child of prophecy.

One after another, labels of righteousness were slapped on Jiraiya, and he fled—

Minato Namikaze immediately gave chase.

Uchiha Miyuki summoned an ANBU member.

"Go and invite the Third Hokage over; the village needs him now!"

"Yes."

The Anbu immediately approached the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked much older.
