The Great Hero Uchiha

Even in her smile, there was a hint of sorrow.

"Feel sorry……

Just this once, just this last time...

From now on, I'll face each day with a smile and I won't cry anymore, really! I won't cry anymore.

The funeral proceedings had ended, but no one had left the scene.

A very long time passed.

People started leaving gradually.

Many people are still unable to emerge from their grief.

……

Two days later, at the high-level meeting of the Hidden Mist Village.

"I recommend Mei Terumi to become the Sixth Mizukage."

Although Mei Terumi is very young, she has been handling the affairs of the Mizukage since Hozuki Mizuki was in power, managing the entire village in an orderly manner. She is capable enough to be the Mizukage.

As for strength! ? ?

Compared to the Kage of the other four ninja villages, his strength is at the bottom due to his age.

But that's not important.

The Hidden Mist Village is not lacking in strength.

Before anyone else could speak, Mei Terumi spoke first.

"I will not become the Water Shadow."

He paused for a moment, then added, "No matter what, I will always have only one position—the shadow guard of the Fifth Mizukage, Hozuki Mizuki!!"

No one was surprised to hear this. Mei Terumi had said the same thing when she took over as acting Mizukage, and she had always referred to herself as the shadow guard of the Fifth Mizukage, Hozuki Mizuki. Regardless of whether Mei Terumi became the Sixth Mizukage or not, she was now the Sixth Mizukage.

P.S.: Chapter Two

251. The Hokage Who Was Created Without a Backer!

Hidden among the crowd, Uchiha Miyuki, disguised as a civilian from Kirigakure, overheard Mei Terumi's words.

Uchiha Miyuki sighed inwardly, his feelings complicated.

He turned and walked out of the cemetery.

It's time to go back.

They left Kirigakure, departed from the Land of Water, crossed the vast ocean, returned to the Land of Fire, and entered Konoha.

Minato Namikaze's first words upon meeting her were—

"You should get married soon. Many ninjas in the village refuse to go on blind dates because you're not married yet."

???

Don't you guys have anything else to do all day long... Uh! Well, this is what your job is all about.

"Can they compare to me? I'm the Hokage!"

"Even the Hokage gets married."

"I have a lot of things to deal with every day."

"Sunbathing is considered a business activity?"

"And they even sleep in late!"

"..."

Minato Namikaze choked for a long time before recovering his senses. "Is it really okay for you to say something like this so confidently?!"

"Haven't I been sidelined by you guys?"

"..."

Minato Namikaze was a little confused. He was about to say something when he realized that he had been led astray by Miyuki Uchiha once again.

"Aren't you really going to consider vanilla?"

Uchiha Miyuki knew that Namikaze Minato was trying so hard to bring him and Uzumaki Kaoru together because the latter considered Uzumaki Kaoru as family and felt that Uchiha Miyuki was indeed a trustworthy person. That's why he was so eager to bring the two together. Otherwise, why would Namikaze Minato have been rejected so many times and still shamelessly brought it up?

Uchiha Miyuki hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Minato, you're oversimplifying things."

"???"

"Our Uchiha clan is a bloodline clan, and so is the Uzumaki clan. Are you sure there's no bloodline conflict between us? If there is, it's not just that we can't have offspring, but what if something worse happens? Would we really be happy together then?!"

Uchiha Miyuki sighed and continued.

"That's right! These aren't problems if I wanted to, but if they can't put pressure on me, can't they at least put pressure on Vanilla secretly?"

Uchiha Miyuki was well aware that there was no blood conflict between the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans, and that the offspring born from the union of the two clans would inherit the bloodline limits of both clans.

But others don't know.

His family couldn't put pressure on him, but they could put pressure on Vortex Vanilla.

and……

His impression of Whirlpool Vanilla remained from the moment they met in Kusagakure.

The other person was just a fifteen-year-old child.

Besides this, he hasn't yet figured out a solution to conceal his bloodline limit. If he were to get married like this, putting aside the possibility that Black Zetsu might deduce information about him from his offspring, just the fact that the child would display the Byakugan, Shikotsumyaku, and Wood Release after birth—what would outsiders think?!

It will definitely be linked to the theft of bloodline limits and human experimentation.

There's nothing wrong with their own public image.

The main problem is that the child will be treated like a monster, just like Naruto in the original story, and will be ostracized. His future growth will inevitably be extremely difficult, and he will also be targeted by the other four great nations, who are beings who have perfectly fused five powerful bloodline limits, and whose value definitely exceeds that of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, clearly only now realizing it.

The reason he overlooked these things is because he himself does not have a bloodline limit, thus ignoring this point.

He sighed, his feelings a mix of emotions.

"I will explain this to her, but given the nature of the Uzumaki clan, they will definitely not give up on something they have set their mind on so easily."

I see……

Is Naruto's ninja way of keeping his word derived from the Uzumaki clan?

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head.

"I will explain these things to her personally."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then nodded before turning and leaving.

After Minato Namikaze left, Uchiha Miyuki immediately summoned the Anbu.

"How is Orochimaru now?"

"Nothing has changed."

"Has he ever left the village?"

"No."

Uchiha Miyuki didn't believe that Orochimaru could change his nature so easily.

After a moment's thought, he understood. Orochimaru must have realized that the Anbu were watching him all along, which was why he had been staying obediently in the village.

He was somewhat conflicted about Orochimaru.

The Edo Tensei army originated from Kabuto Yakushi, but upon closer examination, the root of this problem lies with Orochimaru.

The best solution now is to kill Orochimaru, but the problem is that even without Orochimaru, Black Zetsu will find a way to get someone else to perfect the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

After a moment's hesitation, a decision was made.

"Abandon surveillance."

"Yes."

If Orochimaru leaves the village unattended, or continues his secret human experiments, then I will kill him directly. If Orochimaru decides to live out the rest of his life peacefully, I can pretend that nothing happened.

Having resolved the Orochimaru issue, Uchiha Miyuki stood up from his seat.

After leaving the Hokage Building, I arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.

"Vanilla, a bowl of char siu ramen, please."

"Ah."

Not long after Uchiha Miyuki sat down, Sarutobi Asuma entered with three genin. Upon seeing Uchiha Miyuki, Asuma subconsciously glanced at Uzumaki Kaoru, and his face immediately turned deathly pale.

"Let's go eat barbecue!"

One of the team members asked, puzzled, "Huh?? Asuma-sensei, didn't you say you were a bit strapped for cash lately??"

Sarutobi Asuma silently shook his head, offering no explanation, and led his team out of the ramen shop.

The last time the two met by chance at Ichiraku Ramen, he was tricked.

Two bowls of ramen is more extravagant than eating a barbecue.

Uchiha Miyuki noticed Sarutobi Asuma and was about to greet him! But now that the other man had simply slipped away, Miyuki hesitated for a moment before chuckling softly. He then asked Uzumaki Herba, "How much did Asuma pay the bill last time? Why did he run away as soon as he saw me?"

"I forgot."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

"By the way, what time do you get off work tonight?"

"Hey?"

Vanilla Whirlpool paused for a moment, then said, "I can leave work anytime."

The middle-aged man sighed inwardly, speechless.
