Yanbai fell silent for a moment, his face expressionless, then said, "No more testing..."
Madara Uchiha had been watching Yanbai from beside him. Hearing him mutter to himself, he couldn't help frowning. "No... more testing?"
"Oh~" Yanbai smiled at Madara Uchiha. "It's Cherry Ink. It's awake."
Madara Uchiha remained silent for a long time. He had something to say, but ultimately kept it to himself.
"Next, it's time to take care of my funeral arrangements," Yanbai said with a smile.
Madara Uchiha opened his mouth, looked at Yanbai smiling as he drank, then fell silent again.
Ever since Cherry Ink had awakened, Yanbai had begun smiling more often without even realizing it.
Madara Uchiha grew even quieter than before. Though everything went on as usual, something had changed without anyone noticing.
Yanbai arranged for Muye to return to the Uchiha Clan and Silver Moon to return to the Senju Clan. Both shared a brotherly bond with Junlin, but neither had ever attended the Ninja Academy.
Although Muye and Silver Moon were perfectly capable, they hadn't met the mandatory requirement of graduating from the Ninja Academy, so they wouldn't enter Konoha's government directly.
With the Senju Clan's numbers dwindling, Silver Moon would take over as clan leader.
Ultimately, choosing a clan leader was an internal clan matter that had nothing to do with outsiders. It required neither academic qualifications nor political achievements, only bloodline, prestige, strength, and management skills.
The same applied to Muye in the Uchiha Clan, though he would have an easier time than Silver Moon for now.
The birth rate of the Senju Clan's younger generation was so low that they needed Silver Moon's temporary assistance, whereas the Uchiha Clan had no need for Muye's help.
After the system's repairs were complete.
Yanbai welcomed another "Feast Month."
