In Uchiha Yu's view, Uchiha Meikyō and Uchiha Madara are different.
However, the former was definitely the strongest Uchiha besides the latter, and like Madara, he had the strength to compete for the title of the number one Ninja World in his own era.
It's normal for someone who's at the pinnacle of success to have high standards for their spouse.
"So what kind do you want?"
Uchiha Yu asked the Meikyō.
"Minato's fiancée is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and even Obito's girlfriend is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, so mine can't be any worse than theirs, right?"
Why do you powerful people have such Jinchuriki?
Uchiha Yu was speechless.
Are women like Mito Uzumaki so easy to find?
Looking across the entire Land of Fire, only Tsunade can compare.
But the problem is, is Tsunade Meikyō's teacher, or is she the wife of Meikyō's other teacher, Dan Katō...?
This is a bit tricky...
"Fine, what you say makes sense. At the very least, only a sufficiently powerful and outstanding woman is qualified to bear the noblest bloodline of the Uchiha. I will help you keep an eye out for such a woman, but if I can't find one, you still have to..."
"If we can't find it, then so be it, Grandpa Yu. I have some things to take care of! I'll be going now!"
Seeing that Uchiha Yu still intended to continue the entanglement, Meikyō's expression changed. After saying hello, he immediately fled in Body Flicker Technique.
"Hmph, this brat is nothing like the lovable kid he used to be."
Meikyō says something's wrong, then something's wrong!
Even if there's nothing wrong, something will happen!
He's fine in the Naruto World, but there are still some things he needs to do in the Pirate World.
The Third Shinobi World War in the Naruto World has ended, and the time in the Pirate World has reached the year 1518 of the Grand Line Calendar.
The Reverie, held every four years, is about to take place in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Therefore, during this period, the navy's forces will be concentrated on protecting the Holy Land Mary Geoise to ensure that the Reverie does not go awry, leaving relatively little power to be deployed on the high seas.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dragon gathered the Revolutionary Army's high command at their base— the White Soil Island "Baltigo" on the Grand Line —to hold a meeting and determine the Revolutionary Army's development plan for the coming period.
Meikyō was also there, meeting with some high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army whom he had not met before.
For example, the Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army.
After the meeting.
With an encrypted Den Den Mushi in his possession, Dragon found Meikyō.
"Dragon, is there something you need?"
"It's about Koshiro."
Dragon handed the Den Den Mushi to Meikyō.
"Moshi moshi, Koshiro, long time no see, what's up?"
"Yuan Yi, it's about that child Kuina."
The gentle voice of Shimotsuki Kōshirō rang out from Den Den Mushi.
"Kuina? I remember when I returned to the East Blue last year, she seemed to be doing quite well. What, are you still bothered by her female identity and think that a woman cannot inherit your dojo?"
Koshiro was silent for a moment before replying:
"Kuina is indeed very good, but in the past she was able to defeat that kid Zoro mainly because of her age. Women develop earlier than men. Now Kuina can only barely beat Zoro, but Zoro is already fifteen years old and his body is developing very quickly. Kuina will not be his opponent in the future."
"So, do you prefer Zoro to inherit the dojo rather than Kuina? But I don't think a man who has seen the vastness of the sea would be willing to be confined to a small dojo."
"Perhaps."
Koshiro sighed.
"My father, Kozaburo, had two wishes in his life."
"One of them was the Teuchi. So, in Wano Country, he forged Enma, which was listed as Twenty-One Great Grade Swords. After leaving Wano Country, he forged Wado Ichimonji, which was also a Great Grade Sword."
"The other one is that before he died, he hoped that I could carry on the dojo and make it the world's number one kendo dojo. Now it seems that I can't do that, but Zoro, my nephew has incredible kendo potential. He might become the world's number one swordsman in the future."
"If the owner of the dojo is the world's greatest Great Swordsman, I believe no one would disagree that this dojo is the world's greatest swordsmanship dojo."
Meikyō stroked his chin, looked at Dragon, and then continued to ask Koshiro.
"So you sent Dragon to find me for..."
"Take Kuina out to sea, Yuan Yi."
Koshiro said this.
"As you said, one cannot become strong without experiencing the vastness of the sea. Kuina is already seventeen years old, the perfect time to set sail. However, she has been living in the dojo since she was little and doesn't understand the wickedness of people outside. So I want her to train with a reliable person."
"For the sake of the dojo left by my father, and to protect the villagers of Shimotsuki Village, I have been confined to this corner of the East Blue for half my life. Sending Kuina out to sea is a way of letting this daughter fulfill my dream. If she can really achieve enough on the sea, then whether or not the dojo is inherited will be up to her to decide."
"Among the people I know, the strong ones I can trust are all members of the Revolutionary Army. Yuan Yi, your strength is great, your swordsmanship is the best I have ever seen, you are also an old acquaintance of Kuina, and for many years you have mostly helped the Revolutionary Army with planning and indirectly acted. From the outside, you have not been involved with the Revolutionary Army. You are the most suitable candidate."
Shall we take Kuina out to sea?
Kuina's kendo talent is indeed quite good. If she can venture out on the high seas and survive, there is a high probability that she will become a powerful figure.
With the Third Shinobi World War Naruto World War over, and aside from scheming for the Hokage Position, I don't have much else to do. It's a good time to focus my time and energy on the Pirate World.
During the recent high-level meeting of the Revolutionary Army, Meikyō and Dragon and others had already planned what to do next, and the two plans did not conflict.
"Yuan Yi, I also hope you can agree. Do you remember our plan? To form your own pirate crew, to seek the position of Shichibukai, and like Doflamingo, to acquire a territory in the New World as a springboard for the Revolutionary Army to expand into the New World. On your ship, you will definitely need a trusted person to assist you, Kuina has the potential to do so."
"Dragon said, standing beside the Meikyō."
"Good."
Meikyō nodded slightly, agreeing to the matter.
"Thank you, Yuan Yi- kun."
Inside the Isshin Dojo, Shimotsuki Kōshirō held up a Den Den Mushi and made a dogeza (a traditional Chinese form of prayer) gesture.
The Den Den Mushi also lowered its head, perfectly mimicking Koshiro's movements.
"Then, I'll go back to the East Blue with Betty and the others."
Meikyō nodded to Dragon beside him.
Belo Betty, Devil Fruit User, Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army.
In the Pirate World, Meikyō left behind a shadow clone with half of his Chakra, capable of sustaining a considerable time Shadow Clone, on Belo Betty's ship, before returning to the East Blue.
If there is no injury or battle, Shadow Clone Meikyō Chakra with half of Chakra can be maintained for a long time.
This is equivalent to leaving an anchor point in the Pirate World, so that when Meikyō travels to the Pirate World again through the Reincarnator's Wristwatch, he can teleport to the side of the Shadow Clone.
The reason for returning to the Naruto World is that the time has finally come.
The New Year is coming soon.
In order to win the Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered heavy losses in the past few years.
In order to end the war as quickly as possible, Hiruzen Sarutobi compromised with both Kumogakure and Iwagakure, giving up the substantial benefits that Konoha could have gained as the victorious nation.
This caused dissatisfaction among many Konoha Ninja.
With Danzo's interference and the encouragement of Orochimaru, Dan Katō, and others, Hiruzen Sarutobi announced that he would abdicate in the new year.
He is no longer young and no longer has the energy to handle a large number of complex government affairs as he did when he was young.
Having endured the Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War, the ninjas and villagers of Konoha, ravaged by war, desperately needed a new Hokage to bring a fresh start and hope.
"Is this the place? It's really quite grand!"
Meikyō, dressed in festive New Year's attire, held a key in her hand and looked at the spacious courtyard in front of her.
"Is this Teacher Meikyō's new home? It's really big!"
With a mountain of luggage on his back, Might Guy said he wasn't very cultured and couldn't think of any other adjective besides "big".
Besides him, the rest of the Team Meikyō and Team Minato also came here to congratulate Meikyō on moving to his new home and to help carry his luggage and furniture.
This house was a gift from Uchiha Fugaku.
According to him, Uchiha Meikyō is now the face of the Uchiha Clan, and living in that old hut would no longer be worthy of his status, so he gave him this house—and incidentally, he and Uchiha Yu Meikyō to get married, and now they are even asking Mikoto to help find outstanding women in the village.
"Damn it! It's so heavy! Teacher Meikyō, can I put these things into the Kamui Space?!"
Uchiha Obito, carrying a small mountain that looked about the same size as Might Guy, spoke with trembling legs.
"Idiot, the power of the Mangekyo isn't used for things like this."
Kakashi was carrying something similar on his back.
This was mainly because Might Guy wanted to take this opportunity to have a showdown with Kakashi to see who could carry more luggage, and Obito always liked to compare himself with Kakashi in order to show off in front of Rin, so he did the same thing.
The three of them basically took care of all the major items in Meikyō's original small house.
"Minato and the others have arrived."
Meikyō had just inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door when she turned to look at the corner of the street.
Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki, both dressed in their New Year's outfits, walked towards this location.
They came to help.
Minato Namikaze wore black trousers, a mandarin jacket with gold buttons and embroidery underneath, and a red overcoat on top. With his blond hair, the gold and red combination made him look very festive and wealthy.
Kushina wore a long, red cheongsam that accentuated her slender figure, which was now fully revealed. The red outfit complemented her red hair perfectly.
"Minato-sensei!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Uchiha Obito to greet him, forgetting the large pile of luggage on his back.
Just as the tables and chairs piled on top and tied together were about to fall, a flash of golden light appeared, and Minato Namikaze swiftly transferred them into his own hands.
"Obito, long time no see. How's your training with Meikyō going these days?"
Minato Namikaze summoned his Toad mount, placed the items he was carrying on the Toad's back to help transport them, and said to Uchiha Obito with a smile.
"Teacher Meikyō taught me quite a few Sharingan Genjutsu, and I haven't finished learning them yet. However, I can now use my eye power to suppress the Tailed Beast inside Rin. Now, that Three-Tails doesn't dare to cause any more trouble!"
Uchiha Obito pointed to himself and said.
"Yes, Obito is right."
Nohara Rin, holding a rolled-up blanket, stood beside Obito, nodding repeatedly as she spoke.
"Well, you two shouldn't push yourselves too hard, Kakashi and Guy."
Kushina stood on the other side with a smile, her hands Hand Seals, and four long golden chains extended from behind her, deftly removing part of the luggage from Might Guy and Kakashi's backs.
After working for most of the afternoon, the new house was finally cleaned and tidied up, and the things brought from the small houses were all placed there according to Meikyō's wishes.
After his previous match with Kakashi ended due to Kushina's interference, Might Guy is now dragging Kakashi into a snowball fight.
Uchiha Obito foolishly as he followed Nohara Rin outside to build a snowman, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu secretly slipped into a corner, each engrossed in reading a copy of the Icha Icha Series.
The living room was filled with the aroma of tea.
While brewing tea, Meikyō chatted with the Minato couple.
"So, Minato, you plan to hold the wedding after the Hokage election?"
"Yes, this is the result of my discussion with Kushina. Although I don't seem to have much of an advantage compared to Senior Orochimaru and Dan, becoming Hokage has always been my dream. Even if the possibility is slim, I still want to try."
Minato Namikaze said, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
Compared to the original timeline, Minato Namikaze, who is now proficient in Sage Mode, is indeed stronger, but his battle record and achievements are completely different.
In the original timeline, the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge did not occur, and Minato Namikaze did not later fight to a draw with the A and B Combination. Although they still had outstanding military achievements, both Orochimaru and Dan Katō were commanders who ended the war on two fronts, and their military achievements were no less than those of Minato Namikaze.
Here, everyone knows that the person who reversed the course of the war was Uchiha Meikyō, the new pinnacle of the Ninja World.
