"Since we can't keep up with him, let's go eat grilled meat tonight, just the two of us," Originally, she planned to invite Shino as well, but Kurenai Yuhi wanted to talk to Hinata about things only girls would understand, so she decided it would be just the two of them.
"Okay."
'It would be best if it's an all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant...'
Hinata silently added in her heart.
Otherwise, she was worried she wouldn't get full.
"But... Sensei, just now you said there are other easy ways to revitalize a clan. What did you mean?", Peeking out from the soft embrace of her female teacher, Hinata recalled Kurenai's earlier muttering and couldn't help but curiously ask.
"This... is...", Kurenai Yuhi whispered something inappropriate for children into Hinata's ear, and sure enough, she saw her female student blush so hard that steam practically rose from her head like a steam engine.
"S-So there's... t-this kind of method too...", Although she was extremely embarrassed, Hinata actually believed this method.
And she had already decided in her heart that she would find a way to help Uchiha Kage revitalize his clan in the future.
At the same time, her feelings about Kurenai's involvement...
At least, she wasn't as conflicted as before.
'Yes, having many descendants is the foundation of a clan's prosperity... Kage-kun, perhaps, really should... find more girls.'
A dizzy Hinata began to fantasize wildly about the future.

[In a Quiet Apartment]
Samui was hiding under the covers, wearing her clothes that someone had tossed all over the place, her face full of frost.
As for why she had to hide under the blanket to get dressed, it was, of course, because she was afraid he would suddenly get that kind of idea again.
"Getting dressed while hiding? You're just making the bedsheets dirty," Uchiha Kage had no intention of indulging this blonde kunoichi, so after putting on his own clothes, he casually lifted the blanket covering her.
"You...", Losing her cover, Samui immediately jumped up from the bed.
But she quickly had to support herself against the wall because her legs were weak.
"Hurry up and get dressed. The room, which was just clean, is messy again. Remember to tidy it up later, got it?", A female ninja's thighs truly had an elasticity and flexibility that was incredibly sensual.
But the most alluring part was still her back.
Uchiha Kage could clearly see the way Samui, standing with her legs straight as she changed, had a sensual fold at the junction of her thighs and hips due to the abundance of flesh there.
It was like the marks left by tightly wrapped stockings squeezing the flesh.
However, when Samui squatted or lay down, that sensual fold would disappear without a trace.
This was enough to prove that her curves were all perfectly proportioned, with nothing excessive.
"That's all because of you...", Samui, feeling helpless, could only endure his teasing gaze and dress in front of him with a look of frustration.
The mess in the room was entirely his fault.
"I'm heading out. Don't wander around tonight. If I come back and don't see you, you know the consequences."
Seeing that Samui was almost done dressing, Uchiha Kage finally opened the door.
With Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo all present, the nights in Konoha were no longer as peaceful as before.
"Aren't you feeling quite smug right now?", After wrapping herself in a black Konoha Anbu uniform, Samui coldly looked at the young man at the door.
'He almost broke down the door earlier, what a lunatic!'
"Not only do you have a beautiful teacher and gorgeous companions, but back in the village, you also have that gentle kunoichi taking care of you. And now, you can do whatever you want with me, a Kumogakure Jonin..."
"Do whatever you want," she murmured at the end, unable to continue.
"Lily-chan, don't tell me you see yourself as the victim?"
"Don't call me that!", Throwing a pillow at Uchiha Kage's face was the last bit of resistance Samui could muster.
"You should get it straight. You nearly killed my sensei, your student nearly kidnapped my companion, and your Kumogakure...", If not for him, Kurenai Yuhi would have been killed, and Hinata would have been taken away.
If not for him, Mikoto Uchiha might have been abducted by Kumogakure back then.
"The people abducted by your Kumogakure, do you think their lives were better than yours right now? Don't pretend you've never thought about it. All I've done is copy Kumogakure's methods and apply them to you. So don't play innocent with me," Just relying on logic wasn't enough; he had to shake her emotionally as well.
Uchiha Kage used the legendary "KFC technique" and ruthlessly manipulated Samui's mind.
"I... I never...", Samui wanted to say she had never done such things.
But when she thought of her comrades in Kumogakure, when she recalled how she had been tempted to capture the Hyuga heiress just because she saw her earlier.
She had no way to refute him.
Still, she refused to back down completely, so she changed the subject, bringing up something she had overheard before.
"Hmph! You talk so righteously, but your Hokage isn't any better. A Hokage who harms his own people... With such a Hokage, you can't be a good person either!"
"And your Raikage is a hotheaded idiot. Are you just a big-chested airhead?"
"You..."
She never said anything about the Raikage...
'Damn Uchiha brat!'
Whether in the previous situation or this argument, she was at a disadvantage.
Frustrated, Samui could only glare murderously at the boy before her.
"Alright, just stay put and wait for me tonight. I'll teach you advanced Lightning Chakra Mode techniques."
After using the stick, it was time for the carrot.
Leaving those final words, Uchiha Kage shut the door and walked away.
There were still many things he needed to take care of. He couldn't waste all his time on Samui.

"Itachi?"
In a dark and secluded place, Danzo was unsurprised when Uchiha Itachi arrived for their secret meeting.
However, he couldn't understand why, even if Konoha was going to take action against Sunagakure, they needed someone as ruthless as Uchiha Itachi.
Was there even a ninja in Sunagakure who could stand against Konoha?
Did they really need such a dangerous Uchiha?
"What is your purpose in returning to the village?"
"Danzo-sama, did you call me here just to ask such a dull question?"
Uchiha Itachi knew that Shisui's other eye must be in Danzo's possession.
So, while Danzo was wary of him, he was also wary of Danzo.
Why had he returned to the village?
Because he had always been a Konoha ninja.
"Hmph, compared to before, you've certainly learned to talk back to me."
As expected of a wicked Uchiha, never willing to be controlled.
"I wouldn't dare."
Uchiha Itachi was also confused.
Even if Danzo knew about his covert return, what did he want from him?
Did he need someone taken care of?
"Back then, you made two mistakes. One was Uchiha Sasuke. The other was Uchiha Kage."
Danzo thought for a moment and realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen would never tell Itachi about the "treasure."
And even if Itachi did know, Danzo couldn't ask directly.
Unless he used Kotoamatsukami again.
For now, it was better to muddy the waters further and wait for Hiruzen to make a mistake.
"What do you mean, Danzo-sama?"
Hearing his brother Sasuke's name from Danzo's mouth made Uchiha Itachi instinctively uncomfortable.
"I know you can't bear to kill your little brother. Then erase your other mistake instead."
"This..."
"What? You can't even kill another Uchiha who isn't your family?"
"...I understand."
Though hesitant, Uchiha Itachi finally nodded under Danzo's threatening gaze.
Having Sasuke remain was enough for the Uchiha clan; there was no need for anyone else.
———
"Oh? There's actually such a thing!?"
Upon hearing about Gekko Hayate being "silenced" into unconsciousness by the hospital staff, Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared extremely surprised.
He put on a completely innocent expression.
"Go and call the director of Konoha Hospital over!"
The hospital director who was summoned also vaguely stated that he was unaware and that it was just his subordinates acting with good intentions but making a mistake.
"Then hurry up and wake Hayate up!"
After visiting the unconscious Gekko Hayate in the hospital, Uchiha Kage and Uzuki Yugao arrived at the Hokage's office together.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen furiously scolding the director and then urgently ordering people to save the unconscious Gekko Hayate, Uzuki Yugao finally felt relieved.
It seemed that the subordinates had merely distorted the Hokage-sama's intentions.
She should have come to find the Third Hokage earlier.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Kage simply found Sarutobi Hiruzen's acting a little clumsy.
Perhaps back when Uchiha Itachi massacred the entire clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen had put on the same act.
A small encore performance, one might say.
However, with her mind completely focused on Gekko Hayate's safety, Uzuki Yugao had no time to notice any of this.
"Kage, stay behind for a moment."
After having the hospital director take the hurried Uzuki Yugao back to the hospital, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally calmed the "anger" on his face and pulled Uchiha Kage aside for a casual chat.
