The Uchiha clan's hiring of Konoha's illusion master, Yūhi Kurenai, did not cause much trouble. 

 

After all, not long ago, the Uchiha clan hired several "medical teachers," and everyone thought that Natsuo also wanted to make some effort. 

 

Although the Uchiha clan's inherited illusion techniques are strong, there are only Natsuo and Sasuke, who have no experience in illusions at all. 

 

Yūhi Kurenai is also one of Konoha's top illusion masters, so she has something to offer in teaching the Uchiha. 

 

On the other hand, Asuma was angry for a long time. He approached Yūhi Kurenai, hoping that she would turn down the position, but instead, he received a scolding from her. 

 

"Is it your business to meddle in my affairs?!" 

 

With this sentence, their conversation ended. Then Yuhi Kurenai moved directly into the Uchiha residence. 

 

In the following period, she gradually reduced her outings, allowing the villagers and ninjas to gradually overlook her. Otherwise, if her belly grows too big and is seen by others, it will be hard to hide! 

 

Of course, before that, she needs to meet with her friends a few more times. 

 

So, while he can still meet people, he grabbed Mitarashi Anko and went to eat dumplings. 

 

"I didn't expect you to become an illusion teacher". Anko happily ate the meatballs with narrowed eyes. "Now your reputation has become prominent." 

 

"To teach Uchiha, who is recognized as the strongest in illusions... You are now well recognized as the strongest illusion ninja in Konoha!" 

 

"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Yūhi Kurenai smiled wryly. "There are still many powerful illusion ninjas." 

 

But Anko didn't believe it. "Then why did Natsuo hire you as a teacher? He must think your illusions are the strongest." 

 

"This is the Uchiha clan's recognition of your strength, something that can be shown anywhere!" 

 

That's because I accidentally got pregnant with his child! Yūhi Kurenai couldn't say this out loud, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart. 

 

The Uchiha clan's recognition can be big or small, but no matter what, it is a way to damage the Uchiha's honor and increase her own reputation. 

 

Natsuo's choice was the most appropriate and the most dignified way to help her conceal her pregnancy. He can be considered a responsible and good man! 

 

"But it's a pity that he is too fickle and insists on finding so many girls." Yūhi Kurenai thought to herself, "Otherwise, maybe we could still..." 

 

Anko didn't think so much. She just said with regret, "It's a pity I don't know any illusions, otherwise, I would also want to go." 

 

"Are you still short of money?" Yūhi Kurenai curiously asked. 

 

"Of course." Anko sighed, "Although the snakes in Ryūchi Cave are powerful, the cost of raising them is not small!" 

 

She uses Orochimaru's secret technique to summon and fight with snakes. 

 

For this, she needs to maintain a good relationship with Ryūchi Cave and uphold the contract. While summoning jutsu seems to require no effort, in reality, while the summoned beast helps the summoner, the summoner also needs to provide for the consumption of the summoned beast. 

 

Such as a large amount of food! 

 

Even Orochimaru needs to pay for the appearance of the ten thousand snakes. A mere Anko, would have to pay an even greater price to maintain the relationship! 

 

Only those with substantial resources can afford it. Otherwise, this useful ninjutsu would have been used by many people! 

 

Yūhi Kurenai naturally understood the reason behind this. However, although she has some wealth, the contract with Ryūchi Cave is not a one-time deal. 

 

With long-term consumption, she cannot afford to subsidize Anko! Anko also cannot ask her best friend for help. This is beyond the scope of normal friendship. 

 

"Speaking of the Uchiha, Natsuo's reward for seeking a child has increased again!" Anko sighed lightly. "Sometimes I can't help but think about selling myself to get some money to raise the snakes." 

 

"All my ninjutsu relies on snakes. Without money to raise them, my strength won't improve." 

 

"This way, I don't know when I'll be able to seek revenge..." 

 

Yūhi Kurenai had a peculiar expression, with a hint of complexity in her eyes. 

 

Anko had been abandoned by Orochimaru when she trusted him the most. 

 

She had thought about seeking revenge against Orochimaru more than once, but she knew that her strength was insufficient, and she couldn't do anything about it. 

 

Now, she was being marginalized by Konoha and was in desperate need of money. If she were to "sell herself," it wouldn't surprise Yūhi Kurenai. 

 

But... 

 

She had already given herself to Natsuo! If her best friend did the same...what does this mean? Are they in the same boat? 

 

"I hope it doesn't come to this..." 

 

... 

 

In reality, compared to the small matter of "hiring Yūhi Kurenai as a genjutsu teacher," it was the increase in rewards for the high-paying mission of conceiving a child that truly shook Konoha! 

 

Especially the reward for Kage-level female ninjas, it was outrageously exaggerated. 

 

It was said that Rasa, the Kazekage next door who had almost gone crazy from poverty, started regretting killing Pakura when he saw this. If Pakura were still alive, he could have fathered a child and taken on this mission! 

 

The reaction in Konoha was also immense. 

 

For example, the Third Hokage suddenly discovered that the number of female ninjas applying to become Jōnin had increased tenfold compared to the previous year! 

 

They seemed to have suddenly developed unprecedented ambition, each one training seriously and working hard in Konoha's training fields even at three in the morning. 

 

At first, the Third Hokage was very happy to see this, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. 

 

"These are all my achievements as the Third Hokage!" 

 

If it weren't for his leadership and lack of discrimination against women, creating a harmonious working environment for female ninjas, how could the number of female ninjas applying to become Jōnin have increased so much? 

 

So, the Third Hokage specifically ordered a report on the "proportion of female ninjas among Jōnin in the past ten years" and held a presentation. 

 

The Third Hokage stated that under his leadership, the outdated tradition of women "leaving their jobs after getting married" in Konoha Village had long been surpassed. The new era of female ninjas had the same spirit of daring to fight and striving for progress as male ninjas! 

 

The expressions of the people listening to the presentation were strange. 

 

After hearing this news, Danzo even ordered Root to actively spread the "great achievements" of the Third Hokage and work hard to spread his reputation. 

 

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened with great satisfaction, thinking that Danzo finally stopped eyeing the Hokage position under his buttocks and planned to be a loyal Root member who would never surface. 

 

He was so happy that he ignored the opposition of the shinobi and granted Danzo many powers. 

 

But a few days later, he overheard the newly applied female ninjas chatting privately. 

 

"Ah, the assessment is so difficult." 

 

"Yeah, I think I'm going to fail again this time." 

 

"At this rate, when will I become a Jōnin and marry into the Uchiha clan to become a wealthy lady?" 

 

"Hehe, I'm not as vulgar as you guys. If I become a Jōnin, I'll work hard in the Uchiha clan for a few years, then I can live my whole life without working, enjoying a carefree life with a large amount of wealth!" 

 

The female ninjas chattered, longing for a future where they would have children and receive the generous bonuses from the Uchiha clan. 

 

Not far away, the Third Hokage: "..."
