"Yuzuru, right? Everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. I hope you don't mind."

Faced with the Third Raikage's overtures, Uchiha Yuzuru was somewhat surprised.

I originally thought that the Hidden Cloud Village was full of brainless brutes, but I never expected that they would have this side to them.

However, Uchiha Yuzuru didn't put on airs and smiled, saying, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I'll take my leave."

"Wait a moment."

The Third Raikage suddenly stopped Uchiha Yuzuru and asked, "Yuzuru, after your Uchiha clan left Konoha, do you intend to stay in the Land of Rice Fields forever?"

"Such a small country has nothing. It would be a waste for a powerful ninja clan like the Uchiha to live there."

"Moreover, Konoha has already labeled you as rogue ninjas and will absolutely not let this go."

"Other ninja villages will also covet your Sharingan and keep a close eye on your every move."

"Even for you, it's a bit unrealistic to want to be an enemy of the entire ninja world, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "Not long ago, Iwagakure's Koto came to talk to us, and they offered us many favorable conditions."

"Iwagakure Village?"

The Third Raikage's expression changed, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure are arch-enemies!

If Yuzuru Uchiha really leads the Uchiha clan to join Iwagakure, then Kumogakure will be in danger!

In the event of a war, just one Uchiha Yuzuru would be enough to cause them immense suffering, wouldn't he?

Thinking of this, the Third Raikage immediately said, "Yuzuru, whatever that old man Onoki promised you, our Hidden Cloud Village is willing to pay double!"

Uchiha Yuzuru's lips curled up slightly.

Finally got fooled.

"If we join Iwagakure, Onoki will provide us with a piece of land and some industry to help our Uchiha clan settle and develop. He will also allow our Uchiha clan to have a certain degree of autonomy and participate in the core decision-making of Iwagakure."

After listening to Uchiha Yuzuru's words, the Third Raikage remained silent for a while before saying, "No problem, our Kumogakure can agree to these conditions."

“But…” The Third Raikage stared intently at Uchiha Yuzuru, “how can we ensure that the Uchiha clan is truly settling in Kumogakure?”

Chapter 36 How did you talk to your Uncle Yuzuru?

Although the Uchiha clan possesses extremely powerful bloodline limits, they now have a strong member like Uchiha Yuzuru.

However, for a ninja village, strength does not represent everything.

If the other party is not genuinely committed to settling in Kumogakure, these forces could become a hidden danger.

Regarding the Third Raikage's concerns, Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled lightly and said calmly, "This kind of thing couldn't be simpler."

"Our Uchiha clan has no rule against intermarriage with other ninjas."

"Really?!" The Third Raikage was so excited that he slapped the desk in front of him to pieces.

In his original plan, it would be enough for the Uchiha clan to settle down in Kumogakure.

Even if they can't contribute anything to the village, at least they won't cause any other trouble for Kumogakure.

But now, Uchiha Yuzuru says he's willing to marry a ninja from their Hidden Cloud Village!

"Let's make this clear first: although I allow intermarriage between the Uchiha clan and the ninjas of your Kumogakure village, anyone who wants to marry a woman from our Uchiha clan must become an adopted son-in-law."

Uchiha Yuzuru made his request.

The system's rewards are closely related to the population size of the Uchiha clan.

Intermarriage is allowed, but women of the Uchiha clan cannot marry outside their clan.

"This is nothing, no problem."

The Third Raikage waved his hand dismissively, completely unconcerned about these things.

Once you have a blood connection with the people in the village, that bond becomes unbreakable.

As for the child's surname...

"By the way, the orphans of the Uzumaki clan will also join Kumogakure with us."

"As long as it conforms to the principle of equivalent exchange, I think the ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan and the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan can become an aid to the training of the ninjas of Kumogakure."

The Cloud Village's Lightning Release and Body Tempering Techniques are both excellent, and for many Uchiha clan members who possess Lightning Release, this exchange is not a bad deal.

Moreover, he had no intention of leaving Kumogakure anyway, so exchanging resources was a win-win situation.

"Yuzuru, you've really given me a pleasant surprise!"

The reason why the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed was because all the countries were wary of the sealing techniques of the Whirlpool Clan.

But now, their Hidden Cloud Village actually has the opportunity to obtain the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan!

In addition, there are the ninjutsu resources inherited from the Uchiha clan...

The Third Raikage felt like he was dreaming; tonight's gains far exceeded his expectations.

This is the foundation of the number one powerful clan in the ninja world! It's terrifying!

How stupid must those guys in Konoha be to force a ninja clan like the Uchiha to leave the village?

The more the Third Raikage looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, the more familiar he felt with him. He stepped forward, took Uchiha Yuzuru's hand, and laughed heartily, "Yuzuru, from today onwards, we're brothers!"

The emotions in Kumogakure are so simple and unpretentious; even when expressing closeness, they do so by becoming sworn brothers.

Just then, the door to Raikage's office was kicked open.

Ai stormed in, furious, and yelled at Uchiha Yuzuru, "You bastard, how dare you come to our Hidden Cloud Village! I'll kill you right now!"

Before he could even make a move, the Third Raikage had already teleported behind him and slapped him on the back of the head.

"You brat, how dare you speak to your Uncle Yuzuru like that?"

Ai, somewhat bewildered, scratched his head, looked at the Third Raikage, then at Uchiha Yuzuru, and said incredulously, "Yuzuru... Uncle?"

"You brat, if you're ever this rude again, I'll slap you to death."

The Third Raikage glared angrily at A, but when he looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, his face was full of smiles: "Yuzuru, look at my son, he's not getting any younger, it's time for the arranged marriage..."

In any case, all the Raikage have abandoned their surnames and given names, only using the code name "A".

Therefore, the Third Raikage had no psychological burden whatsoever, even if it meant having his son marry into the family.

Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand: "We advocate free love, but he has to work hard for this himself."

After hearing the conversation between the Third Raikage and Uchiha Yuzuru, A, who had just come to his senses, froze on the spot again.

Ai felt like her brain wasn't working properly.

Were you not under a spell?!

When Yuzuru Uchiha returned to the Uchiha clan compound, Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki were both asleep, slumped over the table.

Upon hearing the door open, the two immediately looked up.

The moment they saw Uchiha Yuzuru, Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina rushed forward at the same time.

"Yuzuru, you're finally back."

Mikoto Uchiha clung to Yuzuru Uchiha's arm, her eyes slightly red.

She was worried sick about him, having been away for so many days, especially going alone to a dangerous place like Kumogakure.

Yuzuru Uchiha smiled and patted Mikoto Uchiha on the back, comforting her, "Mikoto, no one in this ninja world can threaten me right now."

"The matter has been settled. From now on, we will settle down in Kumogakure."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded, saying nonchalantly, "I'll do whatever you say. As long as you're here, I'm fine with settling down anywhere."

While Mikoto Uchiha wasn't looking, Yuzuru Uchiha secretly winked at Kushina Uzumaki.

To his surprise, Kushina Uzumaki walked up and hugged his other arm.

"Hey! Kushina, you, you..."

"Mikoto, I didn't do anything."

Mikoto Uchiha rolled her eyes at Yuzuru Uchiha, reached out and pinched his waist, and said reproachfully, "You got lucky, you womanizer."

Kushina Uzumaki snorted and said, "In the few days you were gone, I've already come clean with Mikoto. I don't want to be sneaky anymore; I want to be able to hug you openly and honestly."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the chaotic scene is over, so everything is fine now.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru put his arm around one of them and said with feigned helplessness, "Actually, I am a very loyal person, but as a kind person, I can't bear to reject those innocent girls."

"Sigh... I guess this is the trouble that only outstanding men have."

After saying that, he took a deep breath.

Kushina Uzumaki muttered something and broke free from Yuzuru Uchiha's embrace.

This guy is so captivating when he's serious, but when he's being unserious, you just want to punch him.

"Yuzuru, I'm going to tell the clan chief that you're back. They've been waiting for news of you these past few days."

Mikoto Uchiha straightened up and said gently, "Yuzuru, are you hungry? I'll go prepare some food for you now."

"Then you can go ahead and get busy."

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha pretending to be busy with their own things, Yuzuru Uchiha sighed helplessly.

Oh, system, you've ruined my life!

If it weren't for the desire to prosper the Uchiha clan, a pure-hearted boy like me would be more than this!

Chapter 37 A Bear of Resilience?

The Third Kazekage's face was ashen as he stared at Chiyo and Ebizo without uttering a word.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I miscalculated. I will take responsibility for the loss of five Jonin in the village this time."

Chiyo snorted and said, "There's no point in talking about this now. This matter absolutely cannot be let go so easily."

Upon hearing this, the Third Kazekage asked, "Grandma Chiyo, let's hear your opinion this time."

"The Uchiha are Konoha ninjas, and Konoha should bear the consequences of our losses."

"Make them pay reparations, or we'll start a war!"

"And starting today, we will put pressure on Konoha's borders."

Ebizo, standing to the side, asked with some concern, "Sister, the Uchiha clan has already become rogue ninja. Will Konoha really agree to this request?"

Even as her younger brother, Ebizo felt that Chiyo's idea was too far-fetched.

"Moreover, our strength is still quite different from that of Konoha."

Chiyo chuckled coldly and said confidently, "The Uchiha clan has collectively defected, and now is the weakest time for Konoha."

"We just need to start the group, and others will naturally follow."

"Don't forget how the first two Shinobi World Wars started."

"We've never given up on this piece of meat."

The Third Kazekage and Ebizo both perked up, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Danzo Shimura pushed open the door and walked in, then went straight to the point with Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Hiruzen, my Root was attacked at the border by ninjas from Kumogakure."

"We must get an explanation from them regarding this matter."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "Why isn't your Root staying in the village? What are you doing at the border?"

Danzo Shimura replied evasively, "I'm just going to investigate some intelligence and see if I can plant some spies in other villages."

"Putting all that aside, those guys from Kumogakure are too arrogant. I think we should teach them a lesson."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a few puffs of his cigarette, then sighed, "Fighting among villagers is the norm. The fact that your men died is simply because they weren't strong enough."

"If we start a war over such a trivial matter, it will only bring greater casualties to the village."

Danzo Shimura angrily retorted, "They've already shit on your head, and you're still backing down!"
