Chapter 227: I Just Went to Kumogakure Village, How Did I Get a Fiancée?

This time, Konohagakure can hold back for now.

Other villages will help explore the way, and Konohagakure can focus on its own problems first.

After all, the mess left by the Third Hokage is quite big. Even after so long, there is still a big hole to fill.

After the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura left, Shizune asked softly:

"Hokage-sama, will the village take military action against the Akatsuki?"

"What are you thinking?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes.

Military action isn't that simple.

"Then Hokage-sama just now..."

"I did say the village would take action against the Akatsuki, but I didn't say when."

Tsunade didn't want to be the first to act!

With Shinnosuke and Utatane already involved, she didn't want to deal with the Akatsuki anytime soon.

She tapped Shizune's forehead and said earnestly:

"You know, I was just giving the old man a promise, showing a tough attitude towards the Akatsuki.

Do you really think the old man wants to charge straight into Amegakure Village?

Too naive."

The Third Hokage left such a mess, which shows he understood Konohagakure's current situation.

Starting a military action now would bring no benefit to Konohagakure.

Even the important information about the Rinnegan was shared, and starting a military action now would be foolish.

Tsunade didn't plan to act until other villages had tested the waters.

She went home, washed up, and changed into clean clothes.

Yan then went to the Patriarch's residence to see Fugaku.

After hearing that Yan had returned, Fugaku left the police department and went home.

He knew Yan would come to see him, and he had some matters to discuss with Yan as well.

"Patriarch."

"Yes, sit down."

Fugaku gestured for Yan to sit.

Yan glanced at Fugaku, who was sitting formally, and decided to sit cross-legged.

Fugaku didn't mind and poured two cups of tea, pushing one to Yan.

"The candidates for the tutoring class teachers have been decided. Here's the list, take a look."

Fugaku didn't expect the Uchiha's reputation to improve or gain the villagers' trust.

But with the opportunity in front of him, he was happy to participate.

"These are fine, Patriarch."

Yan glanced at the list and thought:

As expected of you, Uchiha Fugaku, you chose all the calm and patient clan members.

Afraid the Uchiha's bad temper would scare the students?

Most Uchiha members have bad tempers, and Fugaku knew this, so the teacher selection needed special attention.

Fugaku didn't want rumors spreading that the Uchiha teachers were terrifying and made the students tremble.

As long as the chosen ones weren't too hot-tempered or foolish, it was fine. The main focus was on Shisui.

There weren't many in the Uchiha clan with a better temper than Shisui.

With him, the tutoring class would have a strong representative for the Uchiha.

The others were just to fill the numbers and didn't need much attention.

After taking a sip of tea, Yan talked about the commercial district.

"I just confirmed the construction of the commercial district with Hokage-sama at the Hokage's office. My suggestion is that the ninja clans, led by the Uchiha, invest in the construction.

The shops will be distributed according to the investment ratio, and Hokage-sama will only take half of the shares."

"Half?"

Fugaku paused, then nodded: "That's quite good."

Even if the clans invested, Tsunade giving half the shares was generous. Fugaku thought the ratio would be lower.

"Have you decided which clans to bring in?"

The Uchiha clan alone can't handle such a big project; they need to bring in partners.

The Uchiha can't take all the benefits alone. It's best to bring in some allies for matters involving profits.

"Except for the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, other ninja clans in Konohagakure that can invest can participate, but the Uchiha will take a larger share."

They can't take all the benefits, but they also can't give everything away. Otherwise, why would Uchiha Yan be working so hard?

They could just leave it to Tsunade to handle. Why bother doing it themselves?

"....."

You sure are bold as always!!

Hearing Yan say not to let the Sarutobi and Shimura clans participate, Fugaku was stunned.

Even though the Third Hokage has retired, many interests are still connected.

To openly exclude them and not let them join?

The most surprising thing is that Tsunade agreed to this proposal.

She actually agreed!!!

If Tsunade dares to agree, it means she can handle the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, who didn't get a share, and completely exclude them.

No matter how well the new commercial district develops, it has nothing to do with them. They shouldn't even think about it.

"I'll rest for two days, then arrange a meeting with the representatives of the clans to discuss cooperation."

Yan believed that as long as the heads of these clans weren't foolish, they wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.

Such a clear chance to build up the family's assets doesn't come often. If they miss it, it will be hard to get another chance.

Even a big clan like the Uchiha would be tempted, let alone other clans.

"Alright."

Fugaku said frankly: "I've already discussed this with the other elders. The clan will fully support you in this matter. Of course, the clan's support must be rewarded with the appropriate benefits."

"By the way, since you're back, you should take a gift and visit the Hyuga clan. Tomorrow would be a good day."

"???"

What?

Why should I take a gift and visit the Hyuga clan?

And choose a good day?

Seeing Yan's confusion, Fugaku thought he wasn't taking it seriously and reminded him:

"Although you now have Hokage-sama's trust, and to some extent, the Hyuga clan needs you, you need to be more attentive when it comes to the deep cooperation between the two clans."

"????"

Why does this sound so strange?

"Do I have to go?"

Before Yan could ask about the deep cooperation between the clans, Fugaku suddenly got angry, slammed the table, and angrily said:

"What? Visiting your future father-in-law and meeting your fiancée, and you need me to do it for you?"

For other matters, Fugaku could let Yan handle them, but not this one.

Because it involves the reputation of both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, one mistake could ruin everything.

Then the Hyuga and Uchiha would go from being rivals on paper to real enemies.

Not to mention, both clans would become the laughingstock of Konohagakure.

So the so-called deep cooperation means marriage?

But the problem is, why involve me in the marriage between the two Patriarchs? And I have to bring a gift to visit and meet my future father-in-law...

Wait!!

Future father-in-law?

Yan grasped the main point.

"Father-in-law, Hyuga Hiashi? Mine?"

At this moment, Yan was really confused!

How did he go out to Kumogakure Village and come back with a father-in-law and a fiancée?

"Could it be mine?"

Fugaku, with a dark face and arms crossed, asked a classic rhetorical question.
