Ryosuke saw that Mabui and Nii Yugito both refused to return to the village, and he was overjoyed in his heart. It seemed that one by one, they had all been conquered by his big stick.
"Since neither of you wants to go back, then you can go back alone."
Isi's face was ugly. Neither of these two was willing to return, so it seemed that the Fourth Raikage's order would not be completed.
But what could he say? Right now, Kumogakure simply could not afford to provoke the person in front of him. If they angered him and he lost his temper, it was possible that their entire group would have to be buried here.
However, Mabui was thinking about what Nii Yugito had said. Could it be that she also had the same plan as herself?
As expected of a good sister, having children together for this man—if more people did it, more offspring could be produced. Adding in her elder sister, then conservatively speaking, there would be three Uchiha bloodline descendants at once.
Although they would be his descendants, if they were in her hands, then they would be her descendants. They would naturally have to listen to her.
If the three of them went for another round, that would be six Uchiha descendants. That was already equivalent to a small clan. This could be considered the first step in completing her revenge plan against Uchiha Ryosuke.
She then cast a glance at Isi.
Isi, who didn't know what to do, was considering whether to just return. When he saw that kind of gaze, his heart immediately had a guess.
'Could it be that these two were staying here to obtain intelligence on the Uchiha clan?:
Moreover, intelligence on this man was indeed extremely valuable.
"Then I shall take my leave."
After sending off the Kumogakure ninja, Ryosuke was satisfied in his heart. It seemed that these two had already been completely conquered by him. The big stick was indeed effective.
Mabui looked at Nii Yugito, her eyes showing encouragement.
But Nii Yugito sighed in her heart. Maybe the other party had misunderstood something. She was not the same as the other person, trying to have children for the Uchiha as revenge against them.
She knew that if she kept having relations with this man, she would definitely get pregnant, but deep inside, she didn't seem to resent it that much.
From a certain perspective, the result of her actions and the other person's purpose seemed to be the same.
'Forget it.' She couldn't be bothered to explain to Mabui.
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage soon received the report from the Konoha Jonin guarding the village gates.
Kumogakure had actually sent people over again, and it was to deliver ransom money to the Uchiha clan. This ransom money was essentially equivalent to war reparations, so it must be a huge sum.
But he felt a bit helpless in his heart.
At this moment, the Konoha Jonin spoke. "Third Hokage, this ransom money should belong to the village and should be managed by you."
The Third Hokage, however, waved his hand. "Forget it. With the current power of the Uchiha clan, and considering that they and the Hyūga clan won this war, we cannot take this money."
Previously, Danzo wanted to suppress them and force them to hand over the authority of the police force, so he was beaten to death. Now, he was worried that if he dared to ask for this money, they might just remove him from his position.
Thinking about it, that was highly possible.
The Konoha Jonin was unconvinced. "Hokage-sama, are we really just going to give up on such a huge sum of money? We other ninjas have been fighting against Kumogakure all along. Do we not deserve any merit? Is this money entirely theirs?"
Hearing his words, the Third Hokage felt helpless. Of course, there was merit.
But if they started a conflict with the Uchiha clan now, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to them with his current strength.
"Of course, there is merit, but they will not give it. If you want it, you can go ask for it yourself."
The Konoha Jonin's face changed. If he went to ask for it, what could he possibly get? Sighing, he left as well.
———
In just one short month, Konoha Village had been extraordinarily peaceful.
The Third Hokage had not made any more small moves, mainly because he had no options left.
Danzo was dead, and there was no one to help him stir up trouble anymore. Many of his strategies couldn't be used. Even the major clans that had once supported him no longer stood by his side, so he couldn't even think of targeting the Uchiha anymore.
Likewise, the Uchiha clan had not caused any major disturbances. Even Uchiha Fugaku did not have any further plans.
At first, seeing the clan grow stronger, he had thoughts of forcing the Third Hokage to step down. But now, he wanted to integrate into the village properly and ascend to power in a legitimate manner.
He was just waiting for the Third Hokage to make a mistake.
Then, when the police force moved out in full force, the other clans would naturally side with them. Could they shamelessly support the Third Hokage? Impossible.
The radical faction felt the same way and did not request action from Uchiha Ryosuke.
That was because, in their eyes, Uchiha Ryosuke was already a heroic figure. He did not need any pressure or suggestions from them.
Moreover, they were finally being respected in the village. Gone were the days of being watched with hatred-filled eyes, so naturally, they had no radical thoughts anymore.
However, in the minds of the radicals, the next person to take the position must be from the Uchiha clan. There was no doubt about it. With the current strength of the Uchiha clan, if they did not become Hokage, who would?
Ryosuke continued his daily training to enhance his physical attributes. At night, he indulged with women to make his body even stronger.
All of this was to prepare for learning the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates Release.
After so long, it was finally time. He could feel that his body had already become significantly stronger.
He opened the system to check his current attributes.
[Host: Uchiha Ryosuke]
[Strength: 195, training at a turtle's pace]
[Speed: 195, training at a turtle's pace]
[Constitution: 195, training at a turtle's pace]
[Mental Power: 99, training at a turtle's pace]
[Chakra: 12 cards, training at a turtle's pace]
[Sharingan: Mangekyō Sharingan, training at a turtle's pace]
[Three Basic Jutsu: Training at a turtle's pace]
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu: Training at a turtle's pace]
[Eight Gates Release: Fifth Gate unlocked]
[Evaluation: Kage-leve]
His physical attributes had increased by 60 points compared to before. That was already an enormous improvement.
His mental power was also gradually increasing. That increase was probably related to intimacy, greatly stimulating his mental energy and causing it to grow.
His chakra had also reached 12 cards. That was likely thanks to Mabui, Nii Yugito, and Uzuki Yugao.
The Three Basic Jutsu could be ignored.
His overall evaluation was still Kage-level, which probably did not take his Eight Gates Release power into account.
With his previous attributes, unlocking the Eight Gates had been enough to beat the Fourth Raikage.
And the Fourth Raikage was undoubtedly among the strongest at the Kage level.
Now that his attributes had increased, unlocking the Eight Gates would make him even stronger—perhaps he could heavily injure the Fourth Raikage with a single punch.
With such strength, he could now train step by step. Over time, he would naturally become stronger and stronger.
Now, it was time to learn the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates Release.
Since his attributes had increased so much, his body was tougher, and learning should be even easier. Moreover, the Sixth Gate did not pose a life-threatening risk, so he should definitely learn it.
He quickly found Might Guy and expressed his desire to learn the method for opening the Sixth Gate. Although the other party might not have mastered it yet, he still knew the method.
For training in this kind of taijutsu, the correct chakra pathway circulation and acupoints were extremely important. After all, if the wrong acupoint was hit, it could damage the body.
