"Once you accept your own weakness, you can slack off to your heart's content."
Nawaki had recognized reality. Even if he wanted to become a big lazy salted fish, the loving fists of the Third Hokage and his sister behind him would make Nawaki jump right back up.
Lying flat and rotting away was impossible. Even if he were just a mascot, he had to display a powerful side.
As for schemes and conspiracies, the Third Hokage was merely old, not dead. With him around, no major problems would arise. Of course, Minato Namikaze would be the main peak combat force, with the two of them assisting him, forming a new generation of towering trees.
"You..."
Uchiha Yuu shook his head with a bitter smile. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone calling him from behind.
He turned and saw a strange woman dressed in white, her face covered by a mask. She nervously looked around, and only when she came close did he hear her voice and recognize who she was.
"How did you end up like this, Reiko?"
Nawaki looked at her, wrapped up from head to toe as if terrified of being recognized. He truly could not understand why she had to do this.
"Isn't it all because of Uchiha Yuu's wonderful work? That so-called celebrity effect made me the clan head, but it also brought a lot of trouble. I'm now Konoha's brightest face, so many young shinobi like me, and there are also many suitors from the Hyuga Family."
Before she could even enjoy the happy life of becoming clan head, a huge crowd of suitors had come after her, including the children of certain elders.
And that did not even include the outstanding young talents from the various clans.
