Among the ninjas present, Uchiha Kō, as the Hokage, held the highest position and wielded the most power. Nara Rokumei, the Vice Hokage and also Uchiha Kō's incarnation when Uchiha Kō was absent, was the second most powerful. Then came Hatake Sakumo, who commanded the Anbu Ninja and was responsible for overseeing both internal and external affairs.
Although he was directly subordinate to Uchiha Kō, his power as the captain of the Anbu was the third highest in the entire village, because he could represent Uchiha Kō to a certain extent. Now that the Anbu had been reorganized, even the head of the Konoha Military Police Force had to report to Hatake Sakumo before Hatake Sakumo would report to his superiors, in order to comply with the procedure.
This is why we mentioned the top leader, second-in-command, and third-in-command earlier.
The chefs entered one by one from the doorway, found their own tools, and began cooking. Before long, the aroma filled the air, making people's mouths water.
After a while, another group of people knocked on the door. Uchiha Kō laughed; they must be his disciples. He then walked toward the door.
As the door opened, sure enough, Namikaze Minato stood at the front with his son Naruto and wife Uzumaki Kushina, followed by Obito Uchiha and Nohara Rin.
"Minato, Kushina, and my grand-disciples are here! Come in, come in, we're making something to eat inside. Help yourselves to whatever you like." With that, Uchiha Kō put his arm around Namikaze Minato's shoulder and welcomed them in with a smile.
Namikaze Minato smiled shyly and said, "Master, you've worked hard!" Uchiha Kō waved his hand, "Oh, what's so hard about it! I was just craving something sweet and missed everyone a bit. Come on in."
But they hadn't gone far when a voice came from afar. "Teacher, you can only see Minato, we've been running around all day and you haven't even paid any attention to us!" Uchiha Fugaku grinned, then led Uchiha Itachi to pay a visit.
Uchiha Kō was initially delighted to hear the voice and wanted to banter with Uchiha Fugaku, but upon seeing Uchiha Itachi, his lips twitched, and he gritted his teeth. "If you want to eat, come in! Stop talking so much!"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Uchiha Rou brushed past Uchiha Kō and rushed towards Uchiha Itachi: "Itachi-nii, you've finally come! Rou Rou missed you!"
Uchiha Fugaku suppressed a laugh. No, he absolutely couldn't laugh out loud. The teacher was already very unhappy; if he laughed, he'd probably get a beating!
Uchiha Kō hardened his fist, gritted his teeth, and his eyes almost spit fire. He looked at Uchiha Fugaku with an unfriendly expression, as if to say, "Fugaku, what do you mean! Look at the thing you gave birth to, you came up here and dug up my cabbage!"
Uchiha Fugaku acted as if he hadn't seen Uchiha Kō's expression, and greeted Uchiha Rou with a smile, "Rou Rou, have you missed your second senior brother?"
Uchiha Rou was taken aback for a moment, then frowned. "Please, Fugaku, don't talk nonsense. What second senior brother? I haven't even become my father's disciple!"
Uchiha Fugaku laughed, and then he was captured by Uchiha Kō Genjutsu taken into Genjutsu space where he was given a good beating.
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't even resist. He was Uchiha Kō in the Genjutsu space. Only after Uchiha Fugaku was exhausted did Uchiha Kō release him.
Upon returning to the real world Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. Uchiha Itachi, standing beside him, looked at him with concern. Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, Itachi. Remember, your father did all this for you!"
After saying that, he forced himself to straighten up and walked into the courtyard, then made sure his expression was relaxed, natural, and happy, since the teacher had invited them.
He can't possibly look weak and have an icy expression, can he?
Uchiha Itachi watched his father's retreating figure, sighed, and silently gave his father a thumbs up. In the entire Uchiha Clan, apart from Uchiha Shisui, his mastery of Genjutsu was the highest.
He had sensed it when Uchiha Kō activated his Genjutsu, but he couldn't intervene. After all, Uchiha Kō was his future father-in-law and his father's master, and it was better for a junior like himself not to get involved.
Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't let him get involved; all he wanted to do now was date!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, dressed in full armor, walked to the door. He wasn't alone; another person followed behind him. Uchiha Kō smiled when he saw this.
Isn't that Sarutobi Asuma? After arranging things for the Minato and Fugaku families, Uchiha Kō walked towards the door. "Shinnosuke, you've arrived. This must be your younger brother, Sarutobi Asuma. Not bad, you've already Jonin level at such a young age!"
Uchiha Kō praised without reservation, but of course, it couldn't compare to his six little ones. His six little ones had all sorts of medicinal baths, rare and precious herbs, and hard work when they trained with him, which was something that ordinary people couldn't match!
Sarutobi Asuma stared at the Fourth Hokage Uchiha Kō, with wide, curious eyes. "Lord Hokage, hello! I'm Sarutobi Asuma, my brother's younger brother!"
Uchiha Kō laughed, "Hello there! Old Ma, oh, no, hello Asuma! I heard you're skilled in Wind Release! This is for our first meeting!" With that, Uchiha Kō took out a pair of shoes from the scroll.
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback. What was this? He looked at his older brother, Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and smiled, telling him to accept it.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!" Asuma smiled and accepted the gift.
Uchiha Kō looked at him and said, "These shoes contain some Chakra Metal and boosters. As long as you use wind-style Chakra in your legs, your speed will increase three to four times!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Kō's introduction, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes lit up. If it were three to four times the power, he wouldn't be afraid of the old man, and might even be able to beat him down!
If Uchiha Kō knew about Sarutobi Asuma's wicked intentions, he would probably praise him for being so filial, causing a huge uproar!
Youth has no price; unleash your fury on your father!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke thanked Uchiha Kō again. Uchiha Kō looked at his disciple, who was clad in armor and exuded a murderous aura. He then looked at Shinnosuke's face and his powerful physique.
"Not bad, you've become stronger and more mature!" Uchiha Kō patted his shoulder and said with a smile. Sarutobi Shinnosuke's lips curled up; it was an honor to receive praise from his teacher!
"Alright, hurry up and go inside. Find a place to sit with your brother. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat later!" Uchiha Kō laughed!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, then walked into the villa's courtyard. Guided by a servant, he sat down with his younger brother, listening silently to the conversation between Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato. He only spoke when the two asked him questions.
Immediately afterward, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, Torifu Akimichi, and Yamanaka Unkai arrived. After these five people arrived, not only Uchiha Kō, but also Nara Rokumei and Hatake Sakumo stood up.
"Welcome, welcome everyone!" Uchiha Kō laughed, especially when he saw Torifu Akimichi and Yamanaka Unkai: "My two old buddies, you've finally come!"
Torifu Akimichi smiled and said, "Since Lord Owl has invited us, we will naturally come!"
Yamanaka Unkai nodded, looking at Uchiha Kō with a gentle expression in his eyes.
The Yamanaka Clan's current prosperity is entirely due to the Soul Battle Technique Uchiha Kō Biography. Today, the Yamanaka Clan can be considered all-around ninjas, combining control, intelligence gathering, message transmission, combat, and surprise attacks.
When the classes were assigned, many people felt it was an honor to be in the same class as the disciples of the Yamanaka Clan!
As for Torifu Akimichi, his family business grew bigger and bigger, and his family's wealth increased. Even those in the Akimichi Clan who were not allowed to cultivate, under the guidance of his son Akimichi Choza, all learned how to do business.
Although not everyone can make money, the snowball effect makes the snowball grow bigger and bigger, and the Akimichi Clan becomes richer and richer. This is not only because the Akimichi Clan cooperated with Uchiha Kō from the beginning.
Furthermore, it was because of the gifts that Uchiha Kō gave to Akimichi Choza that taught him the skills that made their Akimichi Clan so wealthy! Now that his old friend wanted to invite him, how could he possibly refuse?
Nara Rokumei clicked his tongue when he saw Torifu Akimichi: "Isn't this our Konoha's God of Wealth, our biggest taxpayer! It's not easy to see you even once in a while!" Nara Rokumei joked.
Torifu Akimichi snorted coldly, "What are you saying! What are you saying! It's as if I ignored you when you called me!" He glared at his old friend Nara Rokumei.
Nara Rokumei curled his lip. "What's with the fierce attitude? Just because you're rich doesn't mean you're all that! Don't you know I have power? I'm the second-in-command!"
The Yamanaka Unkai mediated. "Haha, everyone, it's been a long time! Since we're all lucky to meet at the Lord Hokage's banquet, let's not argue!"
The three younger members watched as their three elders teased each other, not daring to utter a sound. After all, only family members knew their own affairs. Whether it was Nara Rokumei, Torifu Akimichi, or Yamanaka Unkai, they were all the ones who had the final say in the family.
He was usually stern and rarely smiled, and as the clan leader, everyone in the family felt intimidated and afraid.
Unexpectedly, they are now just like young people, complaining to each other here.
Uchiha Kō walked over. "You three are still the same as ever, arguing the moment you meet! Seriously, come on in and eat. You'll have to give me some pointers Torifu! How's the meat grilled?"
Torifu Akimichi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Great! Great! There's barbecue too! I'm not bragging, but when it comes to barbecue, Akimichi Clan Torifu is second to none!"
Uchiha Kō quickly exclaimed, "That's right! That's right! Please come in, everyone!"
Led by Uchiha Kō, the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho, both the previous and current generations, arrived. Everyone present stood up and bowed, as the Ino-Shika-Cho was the first to cooperate with the Lord Hokage, and they deserved to be respected!
