Makoto had repeatedly checked Anko's body, as he was very concerned about the things left behind by Orochimaru.
In the end, he had engraved the word "Kite" onto her body as a means of control.
The reason Anko was so resentful was that Makoto had placed an unknown seal on her.
Every time he examined her body, he would remove her clothes.
The key issue was that after the seal was placed, she was unable to resist him and could only helplessly watch him do as he pleased with her.
Anko, who already thought Makoto was a pervert, now felt even more certain that he had ill intentions towards her.
Anko's body had become a new creation of the White Zetsu, combining Hashirama's cells and the Uzumaki cells.
According to Orochimaru, it also contained the Uchiha's Sharingan and the Hyuga's Byakugan, though they had not manifested.
Externally, she showed no significant changes, but her strength had greatly increased.
Even an ordinary punch from her could easily shatter rock, and she was strong enough that Hakumen, Kakashi, and Guy—without entering Sage Mode—couldn't defeat her.
If Orochimaru were to occupy this body, the result would be unimaginable.
But why did Orochimaru give it to Anko?
Could it be that he secretly created an even better body for himself?
Makoto had examined Orochimaru's corpse, which had long since transformed into something unrecognizable.
After their battle, it seemed that Orochimaru had used some special method to escape.
With his current technical level, switching to a new body would be a simple task.
Thinking about the message Orochimaru left behind in the lab, as well as the withered snake skin, Makoto felt uncomfortable.
When he learned that someone was watching him from the shadows, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He also had to find a way to grow stronger.
Makoto had not stopped training every day.
He worked on strengthening his body through vibrations, and continually improved his control over chakra and natural energy.
Flying had become so easy for him that it was no longer a challenge.
The increased strength of his body had another obvious benefit: he had grown taller.
Makoto was in the middle of a growth spurt.
His daily exercise routine was intense, and he ate two to three times more than an average adult.
His height was shooting up, and he no longer looked like a child.
A year ago, he was shorter than the Ayano and Ayari sisters, and many things were inconvenient for him to do.
Another benefit was the increase in his chakra reserves.
Chakra is a fusion of mental and physical energy, and Makoto's mental energy turned out to be far greater than he had expected.
There was no need for him to specifically train it; as his body grew stronger, his chakra reserves naturally increased.
Every night, after Makoto took a bath, he would be exhausted, his legs soft from the strain.
Ayari was very upset by this and couldn't help but go to Ayano and scold her, saying that Makoto, being young, was overindulging, which could cause irreversible harm to his body.
Ayano was completely confused and felt very wronged.
She didn't dare talk back to Ayari, so she could only complain privately to Makoto.
When Makoto learned about it, he was both amused and exasperated.
He explained to Ayari that his nightly exhaustion was due to training.
Even after learning the truth, Ayari remained stubborn.
"Even if it's for training, you shouldn't be so excessive. Every night you fall asleep the moment you hit the bed. You work during the day, and at night... you still do this. How is this any different from being a widow?"
Her face turned red as she spoke.
Once Makoto understood what she meant, he reduced the intensity of his training that night and returned to the room early to rest.
By morning, Ayari's attitude had finally softened.
She ended up sleeping until noon the next day.
When little Neji wanted his mother, Natsu went to the bedroom to wake Ayari.
Seeing the chaotic mess in the room, Natsu blushed and walked right back out.
It wasn't until lunchtime that Ayano managed to drag Ayari out of bed.
At the dining table, Ayano deliberately muttered just loud enough for Ayari to hear, "No sense of restraint at all."
Ayari felt utterly embarrassed and had no way to refute, so she whispered, "Natsu is still here. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Natsu was holding a bottle and feeding little Neji, pretending not to hear anything.
Since coming to this household to care for little Neji, Natsu had learned many things.
It turned out that the rumors within the clan about Lord Makoto and Ayano were true, and Ayari even tacitly approved of it.
The idea of two sisters serving the same husband was something Natsu never expected to see within her own clan.
During the time when Lord Makoto worked at home, Natsu had even seen that stunningly beautiful secretary.
She was indeed breathtaking, with an enviably curvaceous figure that even Natsu, as a fellow woman, couldn't help but admire.
Previously, no one had thought that Lord Makoto was someone who indulged in women, but truly, you can never judge a person by their appearance.
Now, whenever Makoto saw Natsu, he would occasionally take small advantage, which made Natsu worry involuntarily.
If one day Lord Makoto asked her to share his bed or suddenly barged into her room... should she accept it or...? Either way, she wouldn't be able to resist.
Natsu had confided her concerns to her elder sister, Haruka, but Haruka was delighted and said, "It's a blessing for the Hokage to be interested in you!"
Seeing her sister's expression, it seemed as though Haruka couldn't wait to strip her little sister and send her directly to Makoto's bed.
Feeling helpless, Natsu could only suppress these concerns, enduring these thrilling and nerve-wracking interactions with Makoto daily, all while being terrified of Ayari discovering it.
In the afternoon, Mikoto came by for a visit with Itachi.
Little Neji lay on the sofa, being watched over by both Itachi and Natsu.
Meanwhile, Ayari and Mikoto sat in the courtyard pavilion, chatting.
Ayano moved in and out of the living room, busy with household chores.
Watching Ayano's back, Mikoto couldn't help but quietly ask Ayari, "Ayari, there's something I'm curious about."
"What is it?"
"It's about your sister."
"My sister?"
Mikoto glanced at Ayano again from a distance. "Why is your sister a servant in your household?"
Ayari was momentarily speechless. "Well..."
Not knowing how to explain, she hesitated before saying, "Do you remember Hiashi?"
Mikoto nodded slowly.
"My sister was Hiashi's fiancée. After Hiashi died... there was a lot of upheaval in the clan, and some unpleasant rumors about my sister spread. So Makoto kept her by his side as a form of protection."
Mikoto seemed thoughtful but still found it strange.
Mainly because she had learned about Makoto from Itachi...
She asked again, "Living together as the three of you, doesn't that get inconvenient?"
Such a question was something she wouldn't have dared to ask before, but their relationship had grown closer now.
Ayari's expression became slightly unnatural, which Mikoto keenly noticed.
She quickly added, "I was just asking casually."
So she was right!
A beautiful secretary at work, plus two maids — one older and one younger — at home.
Tsk, this Hokage truly had quite the life...
If Ayari's husband had been an ordinary man, Mikoto could have kept asking and scolded him a few times to comfort her good friend.
But now Makoto was the Hokage, a figure who wielded absolute power in the village, even her own husband had to act according to his will.
Fugaku had told her many things about Makoto, and Mikoto genuinely felt that this young man was excessively ruthless.
For someone like him, having multiple women at home seemed rather normal.
A person with cunning, strength, and authority was unlikely to be bound by societal conventions.
How could he not do as he pleased?
It was just unfortunate for Ayari.
Mikoto then shifted the topic and chose not to say more on the matter.
Ayari also said, "I hardly see Kushina these days. I visited her once before, and she didn't seem to be in good spirits."
Mikoto sighed, "What happen to Minato has had too much of an impact on her."
Ayari sighed, "Is there any way we can help her?"
Mikoto thought to herself, The only one who can help Kushina is your husband. If he brings Minato back, everything will be fine.
Of course, that was just wishful thinking.
Out loud, she said, "Maybe after some time, she'll gradually come to terms with it."
After pondering for a moment, Ayari suddenly said, "Why don't we take her out for a little trip?"
Mikoto was surprised. "Out? Where to?"
"Out of the village for a bit. The Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Rivers — anywhere really. Just a few days for fun."
"What about the kids? Itachi's old enough that I can leave him for a few days, but what about Neji? He's still so young."
"Leave him with my sister and Natsu."
Mikoto looked a bit perplexed. "Does your sister have milk?"
Ayari's face froze instantly.
Her sister hadn't had children, so how could she possibly produce milk?
She slumped in defeat. "Taking care of kids is such a hassle."
Mikoto secretly thought to herself, Other than nursing, you barely look after the child anyway.
Instead, she said, "But you've reminded me — I do plan to take Kushina out for a little trip."
Ayari protested indignantly, "It was my idea, and you're not even taking me!"
Mikoto laughed, "Well, there's no helping it. We can't exactly bring the kids along, can we?"
......
Hokage's Office.
Makoto looked thoughtfully at Kakashi standing before him.
"Is this your own idea?"
"This eye is just a burden to me now. It only hinders my progress."
Kakashi had just expressed his desire to replace his Sharingan.
Makoto furrowed his brows but said nothing.
Kakashi couldn't understand Makoto's thoughts.
Previously, Makoto had stopped him from returning the eye to Obito, reasoning that without it, Kakashi would be weaker and wouldn't even be able to use Chidori.
But now, with the Sage's imprint, the Sharingan had become a complete burden.
There should be no reason to stop him this time, right?
Makoto asked, "What does Obito think?"
Kakashi replied, "Obito has already agreed."
Makoto found it suspicious.
When the Uchiha clan wanted to reclaim Kakashi's eye before, Obito hadn't taken such an attitude.
The main reason Makoto didn't want Kakashi to return the eye was because of Kamui.
Although the abilities of a Mangekyo Sharingan are often linked to the user's situation and desires upon awakening, what if...?
What if Obito's Mangekyo ability still turned out to be Kamui?
Wouldn't that create someone completely beyond Makoto's control?
"Do you realize how many people in the ninja world dream of possessing the Sharingan?" Makoto said.
Kakashi replied, "What others desire doesn't necessarily suit me. Besides, ordinary eyes aren't necessarily incapable of seeing far enough. Lord Hokage, haven't you also chosen not to restore your Byakugan?"
Makoto was momentarily stunned, then laughed.
He looked at Kakashi thoughtfully before finally agreeing, "Alright."
Orochimaru had left behind a stock of Sharingan.
Swapping one during surgery wouldn't be difficult.
Perhaps Kakashi really could forge a new path.
In Makoto's previous world, many Naruto fans speculated that if Kakashi hadn't had the chakra-draining Sharingan, he might have become the second White Fang, achieving even greater heights due to his talent.
But without Kamui, Kakashi wouldn't have even qualified to participate in the final battle.
The White Fang was just an exceptional figure among ordinary people — the ninja world was never short of such individuals.
Wasn't Namikaze Minato strong enough?
Yet now he was languishing in prison, living a bleak existence without daylight.
The woman he loved still occasionally suffered violations without his knowledge.
When the Otsutsuki eventually arrived, was Makoto supposed to rely on a bunch of White Fang and Minato-level fighters to oppose those Alien?
Makoto wanted to become stronger, but it wasn't enough for only himself to grow stronger—his subordinates had to advance alongside him.
Hakumen, Kakashi, Guy, and future recruits like Yakushi Kabuto—Makoto aimed to build a powerful army.
If Kakashi had given up the Sharingan, then Makoto would grant him another "Cheat" in its place.
Afterward, Makoto went to see Tobirama.
The man was always submerged in the research lab.
With his Edo Tensei body, he didn't need food or rest and spent day and night conducting research.
Occasionally, though, he would wander around the village, likely because his mind needed a break from the pressure.
Tobirama's attitude toward Makoto was no longer as hostile as before—his current research depended heavily on Makoto's support.
"I've examined the people you detained. Their physiques are very peculiar, somewhat similar to my brother's cells. It looks like Orochimaru had a team with this composition," Tobirama said.
"They're called White Zetsu. The village was crawling with them before, but I've completely wiped them out," Makoto replied.
"It seems you've been plotting to overthrow Orochimaru for quite some time," Tobirama remarked.
"My relationship with him was irreconcilable—becoming enemies was the best outcome," Makoto said calmly.
Tobirama sneered. "Orochimaru keeping someone like you by his side without using any control measures is truly astonishing."
"You don't know him well enough," Makoto said.
He then took out two glass containers, each holding an eyeball.
Tobirama's eyes narrowed at the sight—the pale irises were strikingly conspicuous.
"Do you know much about the Byakugan? Did you study it during your lifetime?" Makoto asked.
"...No," Tobirama admitted.
Unlike the Sharingan, the Byakugan didn't seem particularly threatening to Tobirama.
Having witnessed the eyes of Madara and Izuna, he had naturally been more interested in the Sharingan, viewing the Byakugan as merely strategically advantageous.
After a moment of contemplation, Makoto said, "The Byakugan, like the Sharingan, has the potential to evolve. I hope to explore this secret with you."
