Hazuki Uchiha's situation was different from Daitetsu Uchiha and Ro Uchiha's.
She had a daughter.
The other two were alone.
More importantly, Rasa had high hopes for Hazuki's daughter, Izumi Uchiha.
Witnessing her father's death had caused her to awaken a three-tomoe Sharingan directly. With such talent, if properly cultivated, she would become an Elite Jonin at the very least.
And as an Elite Jonin, her strength might even surpass Yashamaru and Baki.
Rasa wanted to win Izumi Uchiha over, to make her loyal to the Hidden Sand.
Under these circumstances, if he casually married Hazuki off to some Sand ninja clan to be used as a tool, Izumi would certainly not have a good impression of the Hidden Sand.
"Lord Kazekage."
Seeing Rasa approach, the guard at the door hurriedly saluted.
"How is Hazuki Uchiha doing?"
"Reporting to Lord Kazekage, nothing unusual."
Rasa nodded.
He walked in.
A figure sat at the doorway, staring blankly up at the sky.
Hearing the door open, she snapped out of her trance, stood up, and looked startled, like a frightened rabbit.
"Hazuki Uchiha, greet Lord Kazekage."
The ninja beside Rasa quickly prompted.
Hazuki Uchiha's pupils constricted slightly.
"Greetings, Lord Kazekage."
Rasa nodded slightly.
"Hazuki Uchiha, are you getting used to life in the Hidden Sand?"
Hazuki squeezed out a smile.
"It's fine."
Rasa sat down on a stone bench.
"I have a general understanding of your Uchiha clan's situation. Since the rebellion, Konoha no longer has a place for you Uchiha, especially defectors like you."
"As for those Uchiha who escaped Konoha, their situation is also very bleak. They are running around under Konoha's pursuit, unable to settle down."
"Have you thought about your future?"
Hazuki was silent for a while.
"Lord Kazekage, we have already been captured by the Hidden Sand."
Rasa shook his head.
"Hazuki Uchiha, you didn't hear my question clearly. I asked about you, not you all."
"Daitetsu Uchiha and Ro Uchiha have already joined my Hidden Sand. They will live peacefully in the village, marry wives, and have children."
"Kai Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha are still young."
"Many ninja clans in the village have applied to me, wanting to marry you into their families. I want to ask for your thoughts."
Hazuki's face turned pale.
"Lord Kazekage, can I not marry? I would rather die than marry someone I don't love."
Rasa couldn't help but look a bit strange.
Hazuki's intense reaction... she sounded like an unmarried girl still full of beautiful longings for love.
Shouldn't Hazuki have already been disillusioned with love?
On the day of the Uchiha rebellion, Hazuki's husband, a non-Uchiha member, didn't choose to be with Hazuki, but cut ties with her on the spot.
This was news Gen Uchiha had gathered. He had even seen the man with his own eyes; it couldn't be fake.
By cutting ties with Hazuki and Izumi in time, that man received quite good treatment in Konoha.
Then, Hazuki probably realized she had overreacted and hurriedly explained.
"Lord Kazekage, I already have Izumi. Izumi is everything to me."
Hazuki looked at Rasa and said seriously.
"Izumi is my everything. Lord Kazekage, except for things that would hurt Izumi, I can do anything else. I can even hand over these eyes."
As Hazuki finished speaking, two tomoe emerged on her eyes, slowly rotating.
"That won't be necessary."
Rasa waved his hand.
"Our Hidden Sand isn't that inhumane. Even though you aren't originally a member of our village, just an outsider, outsiders are people too."
"If you don't want to marry, we won't force you."
"How about this? I'll give you two choices."
"One is to go to the front lines and fight against Mist ninja."
"The second is to take a job within the Hidden Sand Village."
"Also, you absolutely cannot do anything to harm the Hidden Sand. Otherwise, not only you, but Izumi Uchiha will also receive corresponding punishment. Do you understand?"
Hazuki nodded heavily.
"Lord Kazekage, I absolutely won't."
"That's good. Consider the two choices I gave you. Give me an answer within ten days."
"Yes, Lord Kazekage."
Rasa stood up and walked toward the courtyard where Yashamaru was, not far away.
A separate courtyard was Yashamaru's residence.
Even though he didn't have a wife yet, Yashamaru lived separately from his parents. Firstly, Yashamaru wanted to experience the freedom of living alone. Secondly, it was indeed much more convenient for Yashamaru's work.
Though young, Yashamaru was already a mature ninja.
And because of his close relationship with Rasa, Rasa would arrange for Yashamaru to do many important things.
Nepotism was the norm in the ninja world.
"Lord Kazekage."
Seeing Rasa arrive, joy flashed in Yashamaru's eyes.
He hurriedly came to greet Rasa.
Rasa nodded and looked at Izumi Uchiha and Kai Uchiha.
Yashamaru said he didn't want to take care of these two children, but in reality, he took very good care of them. And it was obvious that these two children already felt trust and intimacy toward Yashamaru.
But the three hadn't spent much time together.
"Sure enough, I knew Yashamaru was suitable for this."
Yashamaru's talent in personal strength wasn't very high.
He might just be a Jonin for his entire life, and a relatively mediocre one at that.
However, judging from Gaara's impression of Yashamaru in the manga, Rasa instinctively felt that Yashamaru had a unique talent for getting along with children.
"This talent is completely comparable to Konoha's Nono Yakushi."
"A natural-born caretaker succubus!"
"In that case, can I gather some war orphans and let Yashamaru be responsible for them?"
Kai Uchiha seemed a bit timid, hiding behind Yashamaru and peeking out carefully to look at Rasa.
Izumi Uchiha was bolder, addressing Rasa as Yashamaru did.
"Lord Kazekage."
Rasa's gaze fell on Izumi Uchiha.
Only three years old, but she already acted like a little adult.
"You are Izumi Uchiha?"
"Yes."
"Are you used to living here? Does Yashamaru take good care of you? If not, you can report to me. This is the task I gave him."
"Teacher Yashamaru is very good."
"That's good."
Rasa paused and said.
"By the way, I got some news about your father. Do you want to hear it?"
Izumi Uchiha's expression changed, becoming very complicated.
