I, the stepfather of the ninja world!

In addition, I will recommend Itachi to be the disciple of the Fifth Hokage."

Being a disciple of the Hokage is an extremely important political identity.

The Third Hokage was the Second Hokage's apprentice, the Fourth Hokage was the Third Hokage's grand-disciple, and the Fifth Hokage was the Third Hokage's apprentice...

Obviously, becoming a disciple of Hokage is equivalent to getting a ticket to run for Hokage.

The Uchiha clan has always had a fanatical pursuit for the position of Hokage.

Now that Orochimaru is in power, he must appease the Uchiha clan who are unwilling to submit to him. Choosing a descendant of the Uchiha clan as an apprentice is a good solution.

Let the Uchiha clan see the hope of becoming Hokage, and bind themselves to the chariot of the Fifth Hokage, so that they will willingly support Orochimaru.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Kimura chose Itachi as Orochimaru's apprentice.

First of all, Itachi is a genius, and Orochimaru likes geniuses.

Secondly, Itachi has some mental problems, and Orochimaru is best at teaching problem teenagers.

The master and disciple are a perfect match!

Kimura was secretly satisfied with his genius idea.

The Uchiha elites were also very satisfied and congratulated Itachi one after another, as if they had already seen the scene of Itachi succeeding the throne of Hokage.

Orochimaru currently has only one disciple - Red Bean. And Red Bean's qualifications are obviously not as good as Itachi's! The next Hokage position will definitely fall to Uchiha!

For a moment, the Uchiha elites present were so happy that it seemed like a festival was about to begin. Itachi felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and his face was serious, with a calmness that did not match his age.

Kimura shook his head and laughed. It was absolutely impossible for Itachi to become Hokage. This was just a temporary pie in the sky for the Uchiha clan.

After all, as a time traveler, he really couldn't trust Itachi's character and brain. Letting Itachi succeed the sixth Hokage was too risky and irresponsible to the village.

However, if the Uchiha does not issue a Hokage, there will be a riot sooner or later.

Kimura's plan is to have a child with Mikoto. His own offspring should be more reliable, and it would be safer to train that child to become the sixth Hokage.

Of course, there is no need to rush to tell others about this.

At this moment, Kimura looked at the excited Uchiha elites and said with a smile: "I have paved the way for you. The glory of Uchiha is ahead! From now on, everyone should take the Uchiha fire as a warning, strictly pay attention to your words and deeds, and do not tarnish the reputation of Uchiha!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Then, Shisui got down from his seat to Kimura Nodo and expressed his sincere gratitude: "The Uchiha clan will always remember your care!"

Everyone followed him down and said in unison: "The Uchiha clan will always remember your care!"

Kimura accepted their gift calmly and said seriously: "I am the son-in-law of Uchiha, so my heart is naturally with Uchiha. Uchiha has no shortage of opportunities or strength, but brains! Don't act on your own and hold Uchiha back in the future! Discuss all major matters with me, and work together to become Hokage!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Kimura nodded with a smile, "Then let's adjourn the meeting. As for the Uchiha starting a fire, you should deal with it according to the clan rules, and I will not interfere."

After saying that, he jumped out of the basement and returned to Mikoto's house under the cover of night.

For the brilliant future of Uchiha, he must work hard and sow the seeds of hope with sweat!

……

The next day, on the rooftop of the newly built Hokage Building.

The funerals of the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, and many heroes were held grandly last night!

Of course, Danzo Shimura and the Root ninjas who died in the battle were simply buried hastily and were not included in the memorial service.

Everyone wore black robes and bowed their heads in silence to pay the highest respects to the portraits of the heroes.

A faint sadness floats in the sky above Konoha.

The remains of the heroes were buried in the cemetery one after another, and their names were engraved on the memorial tablets.

There weren't actually too many ninjas who died last night, only about a hundred or so.

After all, the missiles launched by Nagato and the summoned beasts were only intended to destroy buildings in a carpet-like manner, and he did not deliberately and accurately kill anyone (except the Root and the ninjas fighting alongside the Root).

Most of the people were only injured and were quickly healed by the slug on the spot; the few who died in the battle were resurrected by Nagato as youngsters, and the number of casualties was further reduced.

Therefore, Konoha suffered huge losses mainly in the economy.

Of course, this is also serious.

This means that the workload of the village ninjas has increased, and they must complete several times more commissions than before in order to revitalize the village's economy and promote a virtuous cycle of development.

However, the number of tasks will not increase out of thin air.

At this time, the importance of the Fire Nation became apparent.

Most ninjas are unproductive, and the ninja village itself has very low risk resistance. Once a large-scale disaster occurs, the country behind them will need help to provide a safety net.

When redrafting the joint letter yesterday, Orochimaru specifically stated that he was requesting funding from the daimyo.

Konoha urgently needs a huge amount of funds to overcome the difficulties.

Of course, this is something the living need to worry about, as the dead are sleeping forever underground.

After the funeral, Jiraiya and the three clan leaders, Ino, Shikaku and Chou, were sent to the border by the Flying Thunder God of the Fourth Hokage's guard squad to support Kimura, who was in charge of the army alone. At this special time point, the border needs enough troops to consolidate the border defense and resist the evil-minded villains.

The supported Kimura himself, brought the young Itachi and walked in front of Orochimaru in public.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and instantly understood what Kimura meant, so he stretched out his hand to cover Itachi's head and said: "From now on, you are my disciple."

"Master!" Itachi bowed respectfully.

Orochimaru nodded, then waved to the boy with glasses not far away.

Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Kimura, then walked up to Orochimaru and greeted him respectfully: "Hokage-sama!"

Orochimaru put his hand on his head and said calmly: "From now on, you are also my disciple."

"Yes, Master!"

Pharmacist Dou bowed deeply, with beads of sweat slightly appearing on his palms.

He was very smart and could guess the meaning of being a Hokage disciple without anyone's guidance.

But, can an orphan from an orphanage really compare to the chosen one from a prominent family?

Yakushi Kabuto didn't know the answer and his face showed no sadness or joy.

……

Volume 093: The bond that connects the female kunoichi: Half-brothers!

Kabuto Yakushi was wondering if ordinary people could catch up with the Uchiha reputation.

Uchiha Itachi was also thinking about what kind of amazing talent this senior brother who joined the school with him had.

Everyone in the village knew that Orochimaru didn't like fools. Even his eldest disciple, Red Bean, who looked like a fool, was very qualified and would at least be a jonin in the future.

Now, an ordinary person like Kabuto Yakushi, together with him who has the name of Uchiha and has opened the three-magatama Sharingan, was accepted as a disciple by Orochimaru.

It can be seen that the adopted son of my father must have extraordinary talents!

Uchiha Itachi looked at Kimura, then at Kabuto Yakushi, secretly clenched his fists, and resolved to practice harder in the future and never be inferior to this half-brother!

Kabuto Yakushi stood beside Itachi, and was keenly aware of Itachi's fighting spirit, and was secretly shocked. This Uchiha genius boy was not arrogant, but was very humble and wanted to fight, treating him, who came from an ordinary background, as an opponent worthy of attention!

Pharmacist Dou felt a sense of respect. He was not afraid of a strong opponent, but he was afraid of a strong opponent who was also wise and cautious!

Orochimaru accepted two disciples and without further ado went on to meet the others.

As the fifth Hokage, he had to meet many people, show his majesty and kindness, comfort everyone's pain, and eliminate everyone's anxiety. Although he had just taken office, he was already skilled enough. After all, all he had to do was treat the weak with the same patience as he treated geniuses.

On the other side, Kimura squatted down, reached out and touched the heads of Kabuto and Itachi, rubbed the hair of the two children, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, two young ninja friends, you have become the disciples of the Hokage. Aren't you very happy?"

"..."

Although Kabuto and Itachi are eight and five years old respectively, they are both precocious, intelligent, and emotionally restrained.

At this moment, in front of everyone, hearing Kimura's teasing tone like a child, the muscles on their faces twitched slightly, but they finally forced a smile and tried their best to cooperate with Kimura so as not to embarrass him.

Kimura did not let the two children continue to be embarrassed. He took Kabuto and Itachi, left the cemetery and went to Ichiraku Ramen.

"Are these two cute little ninjas your disciples?" asked the store manager Ichiraku with a smile.

Kimura shook his head: "They are my sons, and today they were accepted as disciples by the Hokage. I brought them here for a meal to celebrate."

son?

Yakushi Kabuto was slightly surprised. This was the first time that Kimura called him son, and a strange warmth suddenly surged in his heart.

Itachi's reaction was indifferent, as he had heard this name yesterday. Ever since he felt Kimura's great love for the Uchiha clan last night, he had completely accepted Kimura, respectfully calling him "father", and in return, he was called "son" by Kimura.

"I am so proud that both my sons are so outstanding! It is definitely worth celebrating!"

Manager Ichiraku took Kimura's order with a smile and turned to go to the kitchen to get busy.

Kimura looked at the two future rising stars and, as a father, decided to give some instructions.

"Itachi, now that you have become the Hokage's disciple, just concentrate on accepting his teachings and don't let your mind wander. You don't need to rush into the responsibilities of the village and the family. My advice to you is to use your brain less and take care of your body more."

"Yes, father!" Itachi nodded seriously.

Kimura rubbed his head, then turned to Kabuto and said, "You are always reassuring. You are a very smart child. To be precise, there should be no one smarter than you in the ninja world."

"Hokage-sama is a scientist with great innovative and tolerant spirit. If you follow him, you will surely transform from a snake into a dragon in the future and spread the name of [Pharmacist] throughout the ninja world. You must remember to stay confident and be a wise man with a broad vision and a long-term perspective!"

"Yes, Father...Father!" Yakushi Kabuto clutched his knees tightly with both hands, trying to suppress his excitement as he uttered the title that he had called out countless times in his heart.

"Good boy!"

Kimura rubbed his head with a smile, then summoned two scrolls and pushed them in front of the two children.

"Hokage-sama is very busy recently and may not be able to spare the time to teach you two. This is part of the inheritance of Ryuchi Cave, I will give it to you two in advance. Practice well and try to give Hokage-sama a surprise in the future."

"Yes, Father."

The two children took the scroll solemnly.

Then, Itachi asked curiously, "Father, will you accept a disciple?"

Kimura grinned: "I haven't even completed my apprenticeship yet, how can I possibly accept an apprentice? Let's talk about it in a few years."

Pharmacist Dou pushed the round-frame glasses on his nose and laughed secretly.

My father is busy cheating on his wife and dealing with many ninjas. He will have more and more lovers in the future. How can he have the energy to recruit disciples? Time does not allow my father to be so extravagant!

……

After half an hour.

Itachi finished his ramen, politely said goodbye, and went to find Shisui to practice together. The Mangekyō Sharingan is the best sparring partner for the Three Magatama Sharingan, and can accurately find flaws.

Yakushi Kabuto quickly finished his ramen. As a spy, he was very efficient. However, he was not in a hurry to leave. He could vaguely feel that his father had something to tell him in private.

After a while, Kimura slowly finished his ramen, wiped his mouth, paid the bill, and left with Yakushi Kabuto, heading to the Yakushi residence that was built on the original site.

"It must be very stressful to join a master's sect with a talented Uchiha boy?" Kimura talked as they walked.

"Yeah." Yakushi Kabuto admitted honestly.

The Uchiha name is too dazzling in the ninja world. Except for the Senju, the others are much weaker.

As an ordinary person, it is inevitable to feel depressed when standing next to a young man with a prominent family background.

Kimura smiled and comforted him softly: "Kabuto, do you know why the Uchiha clan is so powerful, but no one has ever been appointed as Hokage?"

Yakushi Kabuto thought for a moment and said, "The Uchiha are very reckless, arrogant, and conceited. Yesterday, even before father became Hokage, they were already rushing to publicize it."

Kimura nodded and smiled, "That's right, Uchiha has a problem with their brains. This is their common problem, and that's why I just suggested Itachi to use his brain less. But you are different. You have the best brain in the ninja world!"

"Before, the orphanage's conditions were limited and it didn't give you a good enough education, which held you back. Now, you have the most suitable teacher for you in the entire ninja world! Although you started later than Itachi, you will eventually soar and surpass him!"

"Just like when you first entered the orphanage and didn't go to bed on time, it wasn't because you weren't smart enough or well-behaved, it was just because you lacked the tools to read the clock. After you got the glasses, you're more punctual than anyone else!"

“It is still the same today!”

Volume 094: The Great Achievement of Connecting Female Kungfu: It’s Time for Female Slaves to Learn Skills

Due to the stereotype of being a time traveler, Kimura was very worried that Kabuto Yakushi would become unbalanced in the face of the Uchiha name.

Therefore, he focused on giving his adopted son two preventive shots today to instill confidence in him and help him develop a good mentality.
