Moreover, he needed to cultivate a young, respected shinobi to prepare to take over his burden.
To put it plainly, Tomohiro was an ordinary old shinobi. He was already at the age when he should have retired, yet he had been forcibly made a little younger and assigned a mission.
He had never intended to remain the Uzumaki Clan Head forever. He believed he was lacking in every respect; he merely had a little prestige, and people listened to him, that was all.
But prestige could be cultivated, so he intended to train a successor and gradually hand over the position of Clan Head to him.
That way, this old man who had hidden away in a valley for half his life could go out and see the world as well.
Of course, he had not mentioned this matter to anyone. At the very least, he would have to truly cultivate someone first before he could bring it up.
As for a candidate, Tomohiro already had someone in mind.
However, he still needed to observe him, and the other party was still very young. He would need a long time to grow.
By the time he matured, the Uzumaki Clan would have already fully integrated into Konoha. That would make it easier for him to take over.
Early that morning, Uzumaki Yuukou woke up in his room.
Looking at the brand-new, tidy house, Tomohiro could not help but feel delighted.
Even though two days had already passed, the novelty had yet to wear off.
For someone who had spent half his life living in a crude thatched hut, his current life was simply wonderful.
And an even better thing awaited him today: visiting Torikaze's World.
After looking forward to Torikaze's World for so long, he was finally setting out today.
