"Because I've sidelined myself."

"You've sidelined yourself?"

Tsunade was speechless. This was the first time she had ever heard the claim that she had sidelined herself.

Uchiha Miyuki stood up from his seat and gazed at the street outside the window. "The Hokage is not defined by the amount of power or strength he wields, but by protecting everything he sees and conveying the Will of Fire to everyone in the right way... That's why so many people aspire to become Hokage."

Tsunade stared blankly at Uchiha Miyuki.

For her all along—

Naruto is more like a curse.

Because almost everyone close to her is related to Naruto.

These people either died trying to become Hokage, or they died for the village after becoming Hokage... As a result, she lost almost all her relatives and loved ones. Because she was unable to save her beloved's life, she could only watch helplessly as her beloved bled to death in front of her, which caused her to develop hemophobia.

He trembles with fear and becomes unable to move whenever he sees blood.

Having lost his family and his lover, he has even lost the ability to continue their dreams and protect everyone. He can only rely on gambling to fill the void in his heart and on alcohol to numb himself.

"The Hokage? What does that matter... I just want you all to live."

however--

In the old ninja system, to become Hokage, one had to be active on the battlefield.

No place on the battlefield is absolutely safe.

It's perfectly normal for people to die.

That's why Uchiha Miyuki's words had such a strong impact on Tsunade. Of course, he wasn't saying this to show off; he simply felt that Tsunade, at her age, could still maintain her youth, and that it would be a real shame not to have the chance to be such an excellent partner. "You're so... no! So, Tsunade, why don't you consider me? I don't think age is a problem."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said with a look of disdain.

"You're too young, Fifth Generation."

Tsunade waved her hand and turned to walk out the door.

Uchiha Miyuki felt a little regretful.

He himself didn't mind Tsunade's large size, yet the other party minded his small size.

Don't misunderstand.

These all refer to age, nothing else.

After all, Tsunade's ultimate skill is obvious, but Uchiha Miyuki's is not so easy to demonstrate.

Shizune stared at Uchiha Miyuki in disbelief.

This is your first meeting, right?! And there's such a big age difference between you, and you confessed your feelings right away?!

Subconsciously, she looked down at her toes. Unlike Tsunade, who couldn't even see her toes when she looked down, a faint sadness welled up in her heart. She could only comfort herself by saying that she would grow up eventually.

He quickly came to his senses, turned around, and caught up with Tsunade.

P.S.: Chapter Six

I had something to do; I just got home after a busy day.

I'll update later tonight. I'll go to sleep when I get sleepy and update again when I wake up.

Take this opportunity to organize my thoughts.

If you have something to do tomorrow, get some rest early.

216. There are some things that we can help with, and some things that others cannot.

Such a wonderful woman, it's such a pity she lived her whole life alone...

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head.

Just as he was about to hand the matter over to Minato Namikaze, he was informed of a message from the Anbu.

Jiraiya secretly left Konoha.

Uchiha Miyuki couldn't help but shake his head.

"I'm going out for a bit. If anything happens, please keep an eye on things here."

"Yes."

Jiraiya wasn't lacking in courage to face Tsunade; rather, he had been rejected too many times. In fact, it wasn't Tsunade's fault for rejecting him. To hide his shyness, Jiraiya would always add a joking, irreverent remark after saying something that sounded like a confession, so as not to lose even a friend after being rejected.

He got up and caught up with Jiraiya.

Jiraiya paused for a moment, looking at Uchiha Miyuki who was blocking his way.

"The Godaime."

"Tsunade is back, aren't you going to see her before you leave?"

"I have other things to do."

"Is something more important than Tsunade?"

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then got up to leave. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be encouraged by everyone to confess to Tsunade, and in the end, they would lose even their friendship.

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head helplessly and used the Transformation Jutsu directly.

When Jiraiya saw that Uchiha Miyuki had transformed into his own appearance, he frowned slightly.

"what are you up to?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's such a waste for such a good woman to grow old alone."

"What does this have to do with you becoming me?"

"Of course, I'll confess again in your capacity."

Even if you transformed into me, you still wouldn't be able to successfully confess your feelings...

and many more!

Should I confess my feelings again?

Jiraiya was a little confused.

"You confessed to Tsunade???"

"Yes, just now, I was rejected very decisively."

"That's not the point! Do you even know how much older she is than you?"

"It's okay, I don't mind these things, but she does mind, so I came to borrow your identity for a bit. Maybe it'll work out!"

Jiraiya's expression turned serious.

"Fifth Generation, this is not something to joke about."

"I was serious."

After saying that, Uchiha Miyuki used the Body Flicker Technique to return to the direction of the village. Jiraiya frowned. Although he didn't know Uchiha Miyuki very well, and deep down he didn't think Uchiha Miyuki was the kind of person who would joke about such a thing, he couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.

After a moment's hesitation, he immediately gave chase.

But as soon as he entered Konoha, Uchiha Miyuki disappeared using the surrounding terrain.

Jiraiya immediately began searching the village, unaware that Uchiha Miyuki had already deactivated his transformation and returned to the Hokage Building. He hadn't taken the opportunity to cause any trouble; Uchiha Miyuki's actions were simply to keep Jiraiya there. What happened next was none of Uchiha Miyuki's concern.

It's not about doing things only halfway.

In these kinds of situations, if you don't put in the effort yourself, no amount of help from others will help.

At that moment, a document was placed in front of Uchiha Miyuki.

Uchiha Miyuki picked it up and began to read it carefully. The contents of the document were intelligence from the Land of Wind.

It's not that the Land of Wind has any problems. In fact, the Land of Wind's development ranks third among the five great nations, second only to Konoha. It's not because of resources like natural gas and oil, but because with the upgrading of Konoha's entire industry, Iwagakure and Kumogakure also have a great demand for iron ore. Sunagakure has the richest iron ore resources and the lowest mining cost.

In other countries, finding minerals is entirely a matter of luck, but the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure could simply take a stroll around and know where there were minerals and how many there were.

The reason why the domestic economy couldn't be supported by iron ore in the past was entirely due to a lack of market demand. Other countries typically faced resource shortages around the time of the Ninja World War, using war to fill resource gaps. Now, however, a comprehensive industrial upgrade has opened up the market…

Most importantly, the war has just ended, and apart from Kirigakure, the other four countries, including Konoha, are unable to support another full-scale war, especially with Uchiha Miyuki's guidance.

This led to the establishment of the ore import and export trade.

otherwise!

Given the urgent need for minerals in the ninja system, the Third Shinobi World War will break out again, and it will be a situation where the four great nations besiege the Land of Wind.

The reason he is now paying attention to the Land of Wind is because Nohara Rin died at the hands of Sunagakure.

What puzzled him was that so many years had passed, yet Sunagakure had not implemented any radical policies or encountered any problems.

Is it because Sunagakure has a One-Tailed Beast, and they don't want to alert it?

Or were they too busy scheming against the Fifth Mizukage?

Or perhaps the policies of Sunagakure are different from those of Kirigakure, and Obito doesn't know how to retaliate against Sunagakure.

Uchiha Miyuki felt that both were possible. It was also possible that he was preparing to take action against the Land of Wind after gathering all the members, and at the same time seal away the One-Tailed Beast.

and many more……

Is Obito planning to unleash a Tailed Beast bomb in the Land of Wind?

I put the document away.

As Uchiha Miyuki was pondering how to deal with the Akatsuki organization, another ANBU member walked in and delivered news that sent chills down his spine.

"Lord Orochimaru has returned with his wife."

? ? ? ?

Orochimaru got married?!

He has a wife?

Uchiha Miyuki was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
