It was clearly a work report.

Why has my workload increased again?

Nara Luyuan kept muttering to himself, then, with a deadpan expression, continued reporting to Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha Nan noticed Nara Luyuan 'Nara Luyuan emotions and looked closely at his face... a haggard face, heavy dark circles under his eyes, and a tired expression.

Obviously

Nara Luyuan was under a lot of work pressure. Ever since he became his own Hokage's assistant, he had been working overtime non-stop. However, he was given time off to recuperate.

But in the last year or two, especially this year.

Nara Luyuan now even without a vacation, and there will definitely be more and more problems to come.

He's already working beyond his limits.

They are ninjas.

Working overtime all the time can be unbearable.

Naruto's strong body, supported by Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, allows him to use Shadow Clone to work overtime, leaving him so exhausted that he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow every day. Lu Yuan, on the other hand, doesn't even get enough sleep.

If you continue to put pressure on him and exploit his labor...

What if he gets sick?

I can only lie in bed and can't do any work.

To be unable to die immediately is the worst-case scenario.

He couldn't even use the Impure World Reincarnation technique on Nara Luyuan.

We've lost a nuclear-powered donkey!

That would be terrible if something like that happened.

I can't live without him by my side.

Such a capable subordinate is hard to find; I spent so much time training him, and he takes on the heavy responsibilities of multiple departments!

then

Uchiha Nan put down his pen, stretched his wrists, and then said earnestly to Nara Luyuan:

" Lu Yuan, a ninja is someone who endures hardship; one must learn to bear suffering."

"Suffering is like a cup of tea. We won't suffer for a lifetime, only for a while. As long as we persevere, we can overcome every difficulty. If you feel like you can't go on, you must firmly tell yourself that we are suffering for the next generation."

"Speaking of the next generation."

"I remember your eldest son, Nara Shikaku, who graduated from the Ninja Academy several years ago."

Nara Luyuan glanced at Uchiha Nan and quickly concealed his deadpan expression.

It's rare to Lord Hokage so serious.

Being a parent is really not easy.

Raising a child from infancy to adulthood, and worrying endlessly about their future—if the father suffers a little more, will his child's future be smoother?

That's worth it!

"I understand, Lord Hokage."

I will definitely work hard!

No, you don't understand!

"What I mean is that your son, Nara Shikaku, graduated from the Ninja Academy several years ago."

"That's the key point!"

"Don't let him do missions outside."

"This is a complete waste of time. Just send him to the office to suffer like a slave, cough cough cough. This Hokage will train him, saving him over a decade of wasted time."

"I see your health is deteriorating day by day. If you collapse from exhaustion in the future, he can temporarily take over your shift."

It's impossible for Uchiha Nan to give Nara Luyuan off.

There are very few people who can replace Nara Luyuan right now.

He served as his right-hand man.

Once there's a holiday, many things in Konoha will be delayed.

Then we can only make things harder for Nara Luyuan's son.

Nara Shikaku inherited Nara Luyuan's intelligence; with proper nurturing, he should be able to become Nara Luyuan Plus.

After all, Nara Shikaku young!

Young people are physically strong and robust, so they can definitely stay up late and withstand more stress!

Moreover, they have stronger recovery capabilities and require less rest. Conservatively speaking, they can definitely work for another ten years.

Ten years have passed

Nara Luyuan's second son had grown up.

He then ordered his second son to come and work as a slave in his office as well.

And then there's Nara Luyuan son!

Uchiha Nan decided to make contingency plans and continuously cultivate new talent for himself.

We absolutely cannot allow Nara Luyuan's health issues to slow down Konoha's development!

The First Hokage once taught

"If it's for Konoha, he wouldn't let go of his own family, brothers, or friends."

This is all for Konoha!

" Lord Hokage, it's me."

Nara Shika was so "excited" that he couldn't speak for a moment.

He really hadn't expected Uchiha Nan to mean that.

Is she going to harm her own son?

"Stop talking nonsense, have him report to my office tomorrow!"

"That's the decision!"

"Young people need more experience. Come work for me as an intern. The salary... well, let him do it for now. We'll start paying him as compensation when he becomes a full-time employee, and then we'll give him an office position."

Young people should be prepared to endure hardship!

"As long as you endure hardship when you're young, you can... cough cough... the most important thing is..."

"Life is given to each person only once, and a person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on his past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor be ashamed of Mui; and at the end of his life, he can say: 'My entire life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world—to my loyalty to Konoha!'"

Uchiha Nan skillfully plagiarized and modified the work.

He forced Nara Luyuan to drink a large mouthful of chicken soup, then waved his hand dismissively.

That was the end of it.

What's the point of doing those useless tasks?

The Uchiha, Senju Clan, Uzumaki Clan, Hyuga Clan clans—these bloodline ninja clans all produce ninjas who are all extremely skilled fighters.

Konoha doesn't need another fighting ninja like Nara Shikaku.

What's lacking are many white paper fans like Nara Luyuan's.

Nara Luyuan was completely bewildered by Uchiha Nan's motivational speech.

This chicken soup is absolutely delicious!

It smells delicious!

By the time Nara Luyuan came to his senses, he had already left Uchiha Nan's office.

Nara Luyuan idea how he got out of Uchiha Nan's office.

All he knew was that his son needed to adapt to the high-intensity office life ahead of time.

Come to the Hokage's office as an intern

I haven't received my salary yet. They said it would be after I became a full-time employee.

As for when I can be officially hired?

The Lord Hokage didn't say that!

Hatake Sakumo entered the Hokage's office.

Right in the office corridor

He saw Nara Luyuan's face, filled with sorrow.

then

Hatake Sakumo asked Uchiha Nan with a puzzled look.

" Lord Hokage, what exactly happened to Lu Yuan?"

Why do you look so dejected?

It's nothing.

"I just want Nara Luyuan's son to take over his job."

"As Hokage, I have the responsibility and obligation to nurture new talent for Konoha!"

"Oh, I see. Nara Luyuan must be so happy."

Kakuzu, who came in with Hatake Sakumo, didn't find anything wrong with what Uchiha Nan said.

This is a great thing for Nara Luyuan's son!

Being noticed by the Lord Hokage can save you more than a decade of detours.

If I had met the Lord Hokage sooner, my savings in Konoha Bank would have increased by at least one more zero!

I was really unlucky back then!

Uchiha Nan sat in the chair, glancing at Kakuzu, and noticed that he had come empty-handed this time.

Kakuzu's life is always very busy. His clone is working overtime at the Ministry of Finance, while his real body is either negotiating business or on his way to negotiate business.

Every time I came to Uchiha Nan's office to report on my work, I would almost always take the opportunity to get Uchiha Nan to sign a few contracts.

" Kakuzu, are there any documents to sign today?"

"No, I'll be spending these next few days with Little White Hair myself."

Uchiha Nan became interested and looked at Hatake Sakumo.

What could be so important?

Kakuzu has even stopped doing business?

" Lord Hokage, I'm getting married! You promised me you'd be my witness at the wedding!"

Did you succeed on your blind date?

"Um!"

"That Kakuzu?"

He was my best man and bodyguard!

Did Kakuzu charge you for being his bodyguard?

"He accepted it; he also accepted my payment for being a best man."

"Cough cough cough, I only accepted a friendly price. Little White Hair is my dearest friend, my brother. I really can't eat or sleep until I see him get married and have a son!"

Hatake Sakumo gave Kakuzu a disdainful look.

You're clearly just after my family fortune!

Kakuzu, that bastard!

You've ruined yourself so badly!

Now, all the bounty hunters, missing-nin, Missing-nin, and Kumogakure in the entire Ninja world are hunting him down.

According to the agreement between himself and Kakuzu

If, after giving birth to her son, she is unfortunately hunted down and killed, then half of her estate will be Kakuzu her deceased husband and son to ensure their safety.

Now, if you hire Kakuzu as your best man and bodyguard, he actually charges you!

That's outrageous!

But whatever, I'm not short of money!

And Kakuzu... he's really good at fighting!

A wedding is such an important event; what if a bad guy comes along and tries to sabotage it while there are many people at the wedding, hoping to find an opportunity to stab you?

Even the Kakuzu could come out to shield him from attacks; after all, he has more than one life.

Even though the Lord Hokage is present, making the possibility almost zero, we still have to be careful.

Always be careful and cautious!

This is my life principle for the rest of my life!

Your life is your own!

Money is a bastard!

"I understand. Remember to send me the invitation later."

"I'll be there in person on your wedding day, give you a big red envelope, and be your officiant!"

"Yes, thank you, Lord Hokage!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded with delight; the Lord Hokage himself was present.

That way, the safety of your wedding venue will be guaranteed!

Who would dare to lay a hand on the Lord Hokage in front of him?

" Lord Hokage, we'll be taking our leave now. There's still a lot to prepare for the wedding. I've had my clones handle my business these past few days, while my main body has been staying with him."

"Yes, I know you are my dearest family and friends, brothers and sisters."

"But this little white-haired guy absolutely refuses to let his son recognize me as his godfather. His son will have to rely on me for the rest of his life."

"Shut up and get out of here! I will absolutely not agree to this. Forget about it! You'll only corrupt my son!"

Hatake Sakumo was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

He would rather die than let his future son recognize Kakuzu as his godfather.

That damned Pixiu will only corrupt my son, making him greedy and unscrupulous.

My whole life has been ruined by money!

"What's wrong with me!"

"In terms of ability, I can be your son's teacher. I can also teach him how to make big money, negotiate deals, run factories, and exploit people..."

"Let's train him to become a talent together, and then we'll harvest all the Ninja world's resources!"

Kakuzu with absolute confidence.

I, Kakuzu, have dominated the Ninja world for decades. My strength is enough to assassinate the First Hokage of Konoha. Now I am also incredibly wealthy and willing to be your son's godfather. You should be secretly delighted.

That little white-haired kid really doesn't know what's good for him!

Uchiha Nan glanced at Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu, who were arguing.

These two seem to have awakened some incredible bond.

Speaking of which...

Who has been by Kakuzu's side ever since Kakuzu joined Konoha?

Hatake Sakumo?

It seems that's really true!

At the very beginning.

Kakuzu, having been fleeced and losing a billion ryo, began harassing Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo White Fang. He followed Hatake Sakumo every day, trying to beat him up.

Later, Kakuzu the Ponzi scheme, found his chance for revenge and pushed Hatake Sakumo into a massive trap. The two infiltrated the Land of Lightning together, operating a swindler operation in a dangerous enemy country.

After the Ponzi scheme collapsed.

Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu have formed a golden partnership and have been working together ever since.

What a deep bond!

Uchiha Nan thought this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Since that's the case

Uchiha Nan quickly switched to his fun-loving form, intending to further fuel the bond between the two.

" Sakumo, since Kakuzu so eager to be your son's godfather, just let him be. You won't lose anything anyway. Kakuzu is very rich, you know. What if he accidentally dies?"

"Your son will inherit two fortunes; he'll definitely be a super-rich second-generation heir in Konoha!"

Uchiha Nan suddenly spoke up from the side.

" Lord Hokage, are you kidding me?!"

"You know Kakuzu's physical structure; his Earth Grudge Fear can have five lives."

As he spoke, Hatake Sakumo shook his head repeatedly.

Kakuzu is incredibly resilient. He's quite strong to begin with, so as long as he doesn't act recklessly, he's practically invincible.

Who knows how long he'll live?

He might even live another hundred years!

"Little White Hair, we've been through thick and thin together. If you die, you'll have to entrust your wife and son to me. What's there to be reluctant about giving up the title of godfather?"

Kakuzu wanted to try again.

"That sounds a little strange."

Uchiha Nan listened to Kakuzu's words, although it was indeed the case.

But that sounds so strange!

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound!

"Go to hell!"

"Let me tell you, Kakuzu, even if my son starves to death or dies out there, he will never acknowledge you as his godfather!"

Forget about it!

Hatake Sakumo's attitude was very firm.

She had already earned enough money for her son to last a lifetime.

All her son needed to do was stay in Konoha for the rest of his life, wearing a mask during the day, diligently learning Ninjutsu, training hard, and improving his strength.

Then you can just wear a mask and go out for a night of revelry.

They don't need Kakuzu's stinking money at all!

Recognizing a powerful Kakuzu as a godfather will inevitably lead to moral decay, a distorted view of money, and ultimately a path of no return.
