Now, nearly a hundred Sand Ninja families have relocated to Konoha. Applications are generally approved, and these Sand Ninjas are all Chunin or above. After arriving in Konoha, they joined the understaffed Security Team.
This meeting lasted four hours straight; there were just too many things to discuss. After the meeting ended, Uchiha Yoichi stayed back with a few people to discuss the details.
Finally, it was decided that Senju Tobirama would lead 120 people to the Land of Water, which was then renamed to the Water Mist District, and a series of redevelopment plans were put into place.
Currently, the focus is still on the Land of Fire. Once the reforms in the Land of Fire are completed, they will gradually extend to other regions; the Sate Special District benefited from joining early, so it is almost in sync with the Land of Fire's pace.
The initial major task for Senju Tobirama in the Land of Water was to deal with those hidden stubborn elements.
Hidden Mist Village joined Konoha too recently, not even a full year yet, and surely has quite a few die-hard followers of the Hidden Mist name from the Five Great Ninja Villages. Senju Tobirama's task is to root them out and add them as miner slaves.
After the meeting concluded, Uchiha Yoichi stretched, and then Yuhi Kurenai placed a cup of hot tea in front of him.
Uchiha Yoichi turned his head and saw Yuhi Kurenai smiling softly, saying, "Teacher Yoichi, have a cup of tea and relax."
"Hmm, thank you, Kurenai."
After taking a sip, Uchiha Yoichi smiled and said, "Tea brewed by you is always the best. So, what's next on the agenda?"
"The election for the sixth Hokage has already started, and Nonou sent some intelligence on the movements of the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud Ninjas... Konan, who returned from the Rain River District, wants to see you. The rest are just some trivial matters."
"Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud Ninjas, let's not worry about them for now... I'm heading out for a bit. I'll leave matters here in the hands of you and Satomi, Kurenai."
After glancing over the intelligence, Uchiha Yoichi noted there wasn't anything of major importance; as for Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud Ninjas, they haven't been wiped out yet because Konoha lacks the manpower. Taking them down without anyone to manage them would only further destabilize the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.
Once Konoha has gathered enough people, these two ninja villages will only appear in history books.
Compared to the scarce resources in this ninja world, Uchiha Yoichi pondered using the Plow through the Dragon Vein to gather resources from other parallel dimensions.
"Understood, Teacher Yoichi."
Yuhi Kurenai said sweetly, watching Uchiha Yoichi depart.
But after Uchiha Yoichi left, Yuhi Kurenai sighed and touched her abdomen. Recently, Teacher Yoichi started taking measures, which dealt a major blow to her desire to have Teacher Yoichi's child.
"Maybe I should ask Satomi. That guy might have the same thought as I do..."
Yuhi Kurenai decided after a moment of contemplation. She and Satomi always worked out with Teacher Yoichi together, and they even competed with Satomi for the final release. Yuhi Kurenai absolutely didn't believe Satomi had no thoughts of pregnancy.
Being with Teacher Yoichi is one thing, but Yuhi Kurenai also wants to become a mother, to have Teacher Yoichi's child.

"Did you want to see me for something?"
Uchiha Yoichi went directly to Konan's place. As he entered, Konan was just removing her black robe with the red clouds, revealing her fine figure beneath.
Uchiha Yoichi's sudden appearance startled Konan, but she quickly regained her composure, saying flatly, "The affairs in the Land of Rain are complete, and its citizens have fully joined Konoha. I have fulfilled our initial agreement..."
Uchiha Yoichi nodded slightly, "Well done. I didn't expect you to complete the mission so quickly. According to the agreement, Nagato is well-fed and well-cared for in Konoha Prison. Do you want to visit him?"
"I will visit Nagato tomorrow. It's good that the citizens of the Land of Rain joined Konoha; your policies attract them greatly... My connections aren't significant."
Konan said after a moment of silence. She wasn't one to claim credit. Although she contributed a great deal initially, the beneficial policies Konoha implemented after occupying most of the Land of Rain are what drew the remaining citizens to join.
Moreover, those policies dismantled all resistance, except for Hanzo's loyal followers; everyone else was pleased to join Konoha and become Konoha citizens.
"So, what's your purpose for seeing me?"
"... Nagato poses no threat anymore, could it be possible..."
"Don't even think about it, this goes beyond our initial agreement." Uchiha Yoichi cut Konan off, continuing, "Think about how many Konoha Ninjas Nagato killed. His being alive is the result of your efforts."
"But he poses no danger now, just let him see the changes in the Land of Rain, that's enough. This was our Akatsuki Organization's dream; now it's fulfilled..."
Before Konan could finish, Uchiha Yoichi waved her off, saying, "It seems I've given you too many concessions, and you've gotten the wrong impression, Konan...."
Saying this, Uchiha Yoichi lifted Konan up and carried her to the bedroom. Although it was an apartment-style room, the soundproofing was quite good.
"Put, put me down, ah~"
Konan was thrown onto the bed, involuntarily crying out.
Then Uchiha Yoichi pinned her down, whispering in her ear, "If you want others to know about this, go ahead and shout...."
Subsequently, Uchiha Yoichi lifted Konan's slender legs, and removed her shoes and pants...
"Mmm~"
The single bed continuously shook, but Konan tightly covered her mouth, afraid to utter any sound.
She knew that even though the room had soundproofing, loud shouting would still be heard by those nearby.

A few hours later
Uchiha Yoichi let out a slow breath, feeling parched after the vigorous activity without the thrill akin to being in the mountains.
He went to pour a glass of ice water, quenching his thirst.
Returning to the bedroom, Uchiha Yoichi saw Konan's tired body trembling gently. He gave her a bit of Life Energy and said, "There will be a prison built in the Rain River District in due course, and Nagato can be transferred there for a period each year."
Lying on the bed, upon hearing this sentence, Konan felt a bit of relief, knowing her several hours of endurance had finally paid off.
However, she was too exhausted to say thank you and drifted off to sleep upon hearing those words.
Uchiha Yoichi looked over and saw that Konan had genuinely fallen asleep, so he covered her with a blanket and quietly left.
After a long meeting and spending hours at Konan's, the day had swiftly passed.
However, Uchiha Yoichi did not return home; instead, he went to find Kaguya.
Planning another journey through time and space, Uchiha Yoichi sought to gain some more detailed intelligence, and he realized he had neglected Kaguya recently. He wasn't sure what the thousand-year-old ancestor had been up to.
"Kaguya."
Uchiha Yoichi found Kaguya in the library. Her serious demeanor while reading resembled a woman walking out of the snow.
Hearing him, Otsutsuki Kaguya raised her head to look at Uchiha Yoichi without speaking, but her eyes silently asked what he wanted.
"I have some questions for you. What happened after you ate the Divine Tree Fruit? Also, how much local information about Onmyoji exists in the Ninja World? I need you to provide detailed accounts of these...."
Uchiha Yoichi was also interested in information about Otsutsuki Isshiki, who even cultivated a Ten-tailed beast. Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Kaguya was unaware, otherwise, she wouldn't have let Otsutsuki Isshiki escape.
With Otsutsuki Isshiki hiding so well, unless he uses his powers, it would be extremely difficult to locate him even by scouring the entire Ninja World.
