He almost immediately resigned from the position of the Fifth Hokage, ready to enjoy a happy life with his wives; who would want to deal with the village's troubles every day if they could enjoy themselves?
However, he must at least ensure the unification of the Ninja World is on track first, only then can he officially step down.
Currently, Konoha is rapidly building railways within its territory, and one third of the Security Team is capturing people everywhere. Anyone like bandits or thieves daring to appear in the Land of Fire will be reported and captured by the Security Team.
Konoha urgently needs a batch of laborers who don't require payment, whether for mining or tunneling. These hard laborers, willing to work for three meals a day in exchange for a hoe, are what Konoha needs most now.
For now, the number of prisoner laborers can just keep up with Konoha's development plans. Otherwise, Uchiha Yoichi would have considered concocting bogus charges to imprison some nobles.
Pakura sent word that Terumi Mei is also willing to join Konoha in the hope of achieving a peaceful liberation of Hidden Mist Village, but Terumi Mei needs Konoha's support.
Terumi Mei has witnessed too many of Konoha's secrets in the Sate Special District. Some things, like the number of ninjas in the Sate Special District, weren't even concealed from Terumi Mei by Pakura, including ninja service numbers.
Even after subtracting the ninjas who have died, Konoha's ninja count now exceeds 16,000. After absorbing Hidden Sand Village and Hidden Rain Village, it genuinely became the top ninja village.
With such a number of strong ninjas, Terumi Mei can't imagine how many ninjas would die if Hidden Mist Village resisted.
Additionally, having seen so much intel, she is now guarded by four ninjas day and night. If she doesn't join, she'll likely be dealt with.
Worried about Hidden Mist Village's future and her own life being threatened, Terumi Mei decisively joined Konoha's big family.
When Uchiha Yoichi received the message from Pakura, he sent back an order, telling Terumi Mei to return to the village first.
Even a Jonin going back to Hidden Mist can't stir up much trouble; better to gain more power in Konoha before going back: the Desperate Virus, the Genetic Modification Needle, the Sage Curse Seal.
With these three, Terumi Mei's Chakra will undoubtedly be strong even among Kage-level ninjas.
After handling this matter and having the Anbu deliver the order, Uchiha Yoichi began to mobilize ninjas in the village, preparing to deal with Mount Myoboku in half a month.
The primary recruits are ninjas with high Chakra amounts and decent strength.
The village is quite short of people; only about twenty Uchiha ninjas are left, including seven or eight retired elderly ninjas like the Second Elder.
Ninjas from other races were also recruited by Uchiha Yoichi, otherwise Konoha's resident ninja count wouldn't break ten thousand.
After much selection, they managed to gather 150 people. Along with a hundred great snakes from Ryuchi Cave, they'll be the main force against Mount Myoboku.
He himself will handle the Great Toad Sage, while the White Snake Sage can't leave Ryuchi Cave. Ichikishimahime and the others may be too much to handle, so Uchiha Yoichi might have to kill the Great Toad Sage and let the snakes eat it.
This toad has lived for over a thousand years and once taught Otsutsuki Hagoromo the Immortal Technique a long time ago; its current power is likely formidable.
Being able to instill fear in the White Snake Sage, it is at least stronger than the White Snake Sage.
"Teacher Yoichi?"
The office door opened, and a head belonging to Hyuga Satomi peeked in and asked.
"Satomi, no need to be so formal, come on in. I just have something to ask of you."
After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, he gestured to Hyuga Satomi.
Hyuga Satomi entered, quietly turned around to lock the door, then walked forward slowly and asked, "What is it, Teacher Yoichi?"
"Distribute these assignments to these people, and gather at Training Ground 15 in ten days."
"These people... Teacher Yoichi, is this a difficult mission?"
Uchiha Yoichi said, "To destroy Mount Myoboku, they will be there to assist, while the great snakes of Ryuchi Cave will also show up..."
"Teacher Yoichi, let me go too."
Seeing her name absent from the list, Hyuga Satomi guessed Teacher Yoichi intended to leave her in the village. But compared to staying in the village, Hyuga Satomi preferred to fight alongside Uchiha Yoichi.
"With Teacher Yoichi's help, I've gained such strong power, yet last time when Teacher Yoichi was in danger, I couldn't help at all... Teacher Yoichi, let me contribute this time!"
"Satomi..."
Seeing Hyuga Satomi's determined expression, Uchiha Yoichi abandoned his initial plan and said to her, "Alright, I'll add you in. Your power will also play a significant role at Mount Myoboku."
"Thank you, Teacher Yoichi!"
Hyuga Satomi sweetly smiled upon hearing this and thought to herself: 'Kurenai, since you're a step behind, don't ever think about catching up....'
"There's one more thing, Teacher Yoichi, do you remember the promise you made me on the Moon last time..."
The more Hyuga Satomi spoke, the quieter she got. But at such close range, Uchiha Yoichi still heard her clearly.
"Of course I remember, Satomi. Is there anything you need me, as a teacher, to do now? As long as it's possible, I'll promise you."
"Teacher Yoichi can surely do it, it's just..." Hyuga Satomi's fair face flushed red, then she slowly looked down and softly said, "I want to be like Nohara Rin..."
"Like Rin? But you're all my disciples, aren't you the same?"
"No, it's not the same! Absolutely not!"
