With No Change to His Original Aspirations, He Remembered His Mission
Uchiha Kō was different from others. Since he was given an official position, he had to tell the truth and do practical things.
With absolute power in hand, there's no need for pretense or conformity. Uchiha Kō remains true to his original aspirations, prioritizing the people. Moreover, the conversation here will spread quickly after the meeting ends.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, until finally Uchiha Hirotomo took the lead and declared, "The Uchiha Clan is willing to be the first to accept the Disciplinary Department's investigation. Any member of the clan who commits a crime will not be tolerated!"
Nonsense, he's one of Owl Lord's own people. Uchiha don't support him, who else would they support?
The Hyūga Clan, Hyuga Akagi, seemed lost in thought. He tapped his slender, white fingers on the chair, then clenched his fist. "These policies, the Hyuga Clan also supports!"
They are all from wealthy families, so naturally they don't care about the benefits and perks of public office. After all, which family doesn't own properties across several blocks?
Some families below, such as Sarutobi Clan, Shimura Clan, Utatane, Mitokado, hesitated to speak.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō chose to support Uchiha Kō, so the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan were alright. However, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura exchanged a glance.
One of them had connections at the hospital, and the other was the head of the finance department. They were just yesterday trying to secure some benefits for their family, but before they could even plan, their scheme was stillborn today?
Fortunately, Uchiha Kō's reminder was timely; otherwise, if the two advisors and elders had actually taken action, then Uchiha Kō wouldn't have been so ruthless.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pleas were useless! The key point is that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't stop Uchiha Kō! So, the fate of their two families will be at least confiscation of their property, and at worst, imprisonment.
Finally, Uchiha, the Vice Hokage, Xiao, and a General of the Military Commission, officially took office. This epoch-making moment was jointly recorded by Nara Seifu and Nara Meigetsu, whose lips curled into smiles.
Uchiha Kō's personality and policies were exactly in line with the political ideology of the two brothers: if you want to be an official, don't think about getting rich; if you want to get rich, don't be an official!
Serving the people diligently and contributing to development are what officials should learn and do! Never forget our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. It seemed that the matter of the Sarutobi Clan Army could only be nipped in the bud. He didn't think Uchiha Kō would give him that chance, since it was also a matter of personal gain.
As for what the future holds for Konoha, he didn't know, but he figured it would be very prosperous.
Civil officials are not greedy for money, military generals are not afraid of death, those in power put the people first, and law enforcers set an example by their own conduct.
After the meeting, Tsunade linked arms with Uchiha Kō, resting her head on his shoulder, in a very good mood.
On one hand, the two are getting married in less than two months; on the other hand, the Konoha described by Uchiha Kō is the Konoha that she recognizes, supports, and admires.
She had initially worried that Konoha might become corrupt due to embezzlement and that everyone would live in fear because of scheming. But it seems that with Lord Xiao in charge, Konoha won't be like that! This is the Konoha she wanted. This kind of Konoha is truly wonderful.
"King Owl..." Tsunade suddenly looked up at Uchiha Kō's handsome profile (though compared to the readers, he was far inferior).
Uchiha Kō raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Little hands~" He bent down and placed his lips slightly above Tsunade's lips, their pupils meeting.
Uchiha Kō smiled with those affectionate eyes that seemed to look at even a dog, and Tsunade's heart skipped a beat; she was momentarily captivated.
However, Uchiha Kō pinched Tsunade's cheek with his thumb and forefinger, and the slight pull brought Tsunade back to her senses. After making two soft whimpers, she patted Uchiha Kō's hand and said aggrievedly, "What are you doing~"
Uchiha Kō chuckled, "Are you so engrossed in looking at your dear husband that you forgot what you wanted to say?"
"No way!" Tsunade rolled her eyes at Uchiha Kō, annoyed.
"Hmm? What were you trying to say just now?" Uchiha Kō knew when to stop teasing Tsunade, so he put his right arm around her Tsunade and looked at her affectionately.
"I... I just wanted to say thank you for being in my life!" After saying that, Tsunade looked directly at Uchiha Kō.
This seriousness instantly erased Uchiha Kō's earlier flippancy, and he too became serious.
"Why do you say that?" Uchiha Kō suddenly looked at Tsunade and asked questioningly.
"If it weren't for the appearance of Lord Xiao, I might not even be able to find the meaning of my existence now. It turns out that what I'm good at is healing the sick and saving lives."
"Because the title of the First Hokage's granddaughter carries too much weight: the lives of the remaining Senju Clan members, the rise and fall of the Uzumaki Clan, the survival of Konoha —each one more difficult than the last, each one more suffocating than the last."
"I can't focus on developing Medical Ninjutsu or enjoy the pleasure of healing and saving lives, I..." Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Uchiha Kō pressed his index finger against Tsunade's lips.
"That's not how it works. It should be said that without Lady Tsunade, there would be no me today. Without Lady Tsunade's appreciation, there would be no God of War of the Land of Rain. Without Lady Tsunade's affection, there would be no Mangekyō Sharingan. Without Lady Tsunade, perhaps my life would have been Mui." Uchiha Kō fell into his memories.
"However, it is precisely because of these things that we met, got to know each other, understood each other, and fell in love with each other, isn't that right?" Uchiha Kō's words were like a Breeze, brushing against Tsunade's heart.
She originally felt that what she had done was nothing compared to even a fraction of what Xiao Jun had done for her, but she never expected that she was so important to Xiao Jun.
Yes, love is mutual. There's no such thing as owing or owing anything. When you meet the right person at the right time and dedicate yourself to that person, you won't feel like you owe anything.
Because people who truly love each other will notice each other's efforts and then reciprocate by giving even more of themselves in return; this is true love.
"Waaah, Owl-kun..." Tsunade's eyes reddened as she hugged Uchiha Kō tightly.
Uchiha Kō smiled, stroking Tsunade's hair with one hand and protecting her back with the other. "It's okay, don't cry."
Uchiha Kō moved gently and spoke softly, coaxing Tsunade like a child.
Tsunade, however, was quite swayed by this. She kept sobbing, pressing her small face against Uchiha Kō's chest, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Whoosh~ Boom!
A burst of fireworks shot into the sky, golden sparks soaring into the clouds, displaying their unique beauty. With a whoosh, the golden sparks illuminated the entire sky.
Uchiha Kō patted Tsunade on the shoulder. "Baby~ Look." He then pointed to the fireworks in the distance.
Tsunade was startled and looked in the direction Uchiha Kō was pointing. The rising golden fireworks exploded with a bang after she looked over.
This moment of beauty was frozen in her mind; her eyebrows were raised, and her small mouth was slightly open.
Uchiha Kō embraced Tsunade and kissed her passionately.
"Eek~" Tsunade was startled, caught off guard. At first, she struggled symbolically, but then she and Uchiha Kō kissed in the street.
The next moment, all sorts of fireworks were launched into the sky. Uchiha Kō and Tsunade stopped kissing and looked up at the sky hand in hand.
"Tsunade! I like you~" Uchiha Kō's voice was drowned out by the fireworks. Tsunade only heard her own name for a moment. She looked at Uchiha Kō, somewhat puzzled.
However, this scene is perfect for confessing your feelings; he probably can't hear you!
"Owl Lord! I love you!" Tsunade's voice was drowned out by the fireworks, but Uchiha Kō smiled because his Sharingan had caught the shape of Tsunade's mouth just now.
Through deduction, he knew what Tsunade had said, and he was also pleased that Tsunade had done the same thing as him.
Uchiha Kō lowered his head and kissed Tsunade's tender, alluring lips again. This time, the two closed their eyes, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
