Natsuo originally thought that all of his wives were all very generous, never jealous, and uncompetitive with each other. But now that he thinks about it, they were like that because they didn't need to fight for what they wanted.
With the financial and material resources of the Uchiha clan, what can't they get if they want it?
In addition, most of the time they are pregnant or in the postpartum period, so there is no situation like the ancient emperor's harem where they fight for the throne. But it doesn't mean that they won't compete.
Strength is something that every shinobi needs.
When there is something, they truly need in front of them, who wouldn't strive to be the first?
Even the gentlest Uzumaki Yoko, due to her early experiences, deeply understands that strength is everything. Even she wants to compete, let alone others.
Natsuo has enjoyed it for a long time, but also struggled for a long time.
In the end, he decided to give two places: Yukino and Yakumo.
Yukino was the first woman Natsuo was with, and her strength was the lowest. But because she was the first to be with his, she had the aura of the main wife.
She did indeed manage to not fight or snatch, treating every subsequent woman fairly and maintaining a stable and harmonious atmosphere.
So, this time, Natsuo decided to give her a spot.
As for Yakumo, her physical condition was too poor, and she was the one among the women who needed the potion to enhance her physical fitness the most. Without taking the medicine, it would probably take a long time for her to have the physical fitness to give birth.
But as Natsuo said, he is currently expanding production capacity and increasing output as much as possible.
Slowly, all the women will benefit and receive advantages. Actually, expanding production capacity is not complicated and can be resolved quickly.
The real limiting factor for output is the problem of high costs. The 'Revival No. 1' requires the consumption of one bottle per week, in addition to precious materials such as Hashirama cells and auxiliary materials.
Taking everything into account, even just considering the cost, each wife would consume one to two million per month, comparable to an S-class mission. And if it weren't for Neji's body that has adapted to natural energy to a certain extent, it would take at least three years of continuous consumption to achieve complete mastery.
The cost of this medicine is so high that it could be compared to the reward for Asuma's life, and he has Elite Jōnin strength and is the son of the Third Hokage!
Apart from the wealthy Uchiha, who can afford such a high price?
Of course, Natsuo and Kabuto are also optimizing the formula, hoping to reduce costs, increase production capacity, and spread the 'Revival No. 1' to Natsuo's entire harem as quickly as possible!
Natsuo is full of fighting spirit.
"My wives can become even stronger!"
Natsuo's 'Wife Improvement Plan' is still underway.
During this time, the Third Hokage actively contacted other ninja villages.
Third Hokage's estimate is not wrong, except for Sunagakure, which is already an ally (vassal), and Kirigakure, who has just signed an agreement and feels that they should actively change their closed image.
Kumogakure and Iwagakure have both expressed their refusal to participate in Konoha's Chūnin Exam proposal.
However, the Third Hokage didn't expect them to participate anyway. As long as Konoha's Genin crush the Kirigakure and Sunagakure shinobi, it is enough to demonstrate Konoha's strength and serve as a deterrent.
Anyway, the Shinobis of Kumogakure and Iwagakure will be actively collecting information about the Konoha Chūnin Exam, so there is no need to worry about them not finding out.
In the end, the participants in the Chūnin Exam are Konoha and its ally, Sunagakure, as well as Kirigakure and several small rural villages who seek not to win but to participate.
However, the Third Hokage is unaware that while he is focusing on the outside world, Konoha itself is also in turmoil.
In a dark forest in Konohagakure.
"Orochimaru, why did you summon me?" Shimura Danzō still has his body wrapped in bandages. He leaned on his cane and knocked on a tree root beside him.
"Hehehe, long time no see, things are not the same as before...." Orochimaru's unique hoarse voice sounded.
He slowly walked out of the shadows, a cold smile hanging on his lips. "After all, we are old acquaintances. How about we catch up?"
"Orochimaru, I'm not interested in chatting with you here." Danzō's voice was cold. "You and I are not that close... Don't tell me that someone like you would actually do such a thing."
"Tell me your true intentions!"
"It's really cold-hearted." Orochimaru didn't mind, his eyes slightly lowered as he said directly: "I want to kill the Third Hokage."
Danzō's eyelids twitched, but he remained calm.
"Otogakure in my hands also participated in the Chūnin Exams this time." Orochimaru said with a smile. "We also joined forces with Sunagakure. I believe that with a surprise attack, it won't be a problem to kill the Third Hokage."
"Of course, I need someone to cooperate with me... I need you to leak information at crucial points, so that my subordinates and I can approach the Third Hokage smoothly."
"After all, you know." He smiled. "I don't trust you either. With so few subordinates, I really can't venture too deep into Konoha."
"What do you think? Would you consider cooperating?"
However, Danzō coldly snorted. "I am Konoha's shadow. I won't let anyone who poses a threat to Konoha go unpunished!"
"Orochimaru, if you dare to harm Konoha, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"
But as for whether or not they would cooperate with Orochimaru, not a single word was said!
Or in other words...
He will not allow anyone who poses a threat to Konoha to go unpunished. So, if he only targets the Third Hokage, would he leave him alone?
Although there was no definite response, Orochimaru knew that they had reached a cooperation. But he was still not satisfied.
Orochimaru smiled and said: "Don't say that, aren't we friendly partners?"
"I think there are many things we can discuss between us. For example..."
His eyes narrowed, filled with a playful smile.
"I remember that you and your Root have been inexplicably attacked many times. Aren't you curious about who could do such a thing?"
"You know?" Danzō's old eyes widened, showing a hint of seriousness.
Since the incident at the Shimura clan, he had discovered nothing. And of the attack on Root's base, where numerous valuable samples were lost and precious instruments stolen, in addition to exposing him to the entire village, no clues had been discovered until now.
For Root, which is essentially Anbu and focuses on intelligence, this is simply a disgrace! Unfortunately, even if Danzō exhausts all means, he cannot wash away this shame.
"Do you know who that person is? Were you the one who attacked the base?" Danzō suddenly became serious, then immediately shook his head.
"No, you cannot do such a thing. I have investigated afterwards, and all the members had their minds destroyed by the enemy's powerful illusion techniques. Even their memories cannot be accessed. It is clear that you do not possess this illusion ability."
His words were firm and certain. Because the one who knows Orochimaru's situation best in Konoha is perhaps him, who has had multiple dealings with Orochimaru.
"Although there is no proof, I should know who did it." Orochimaru smiled lightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
He also has no evidence. But sometimes, evidence is not really necessary.
With a grudge against the Root, exceptional strength, and skilled in illusion techniques...
"Elder Danzō, you should know that there are not many experts in this world, and others do not have the motive to act..."
"I know of one person, with considerable strength and fully capable and motivated to target the Root. He is..."
Orochimaru was about to say the person's name. But in the next second, he suddenly stopped speaking.
Instead, his pupils contracted, his body stiffened, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
If you look closely into his eyes, you can see the reflection of a young man with a soft smile sitting calmly on a branch above Danzō.
The young man had a smile on his lips, with one hand resting on his thigh, and the palm of his hand supporting his face, looking down with great interest at Orochimaru and Danzō.
"Hey, who is this person you're talking about?" Danzō frowned and said discontentedly: "Didn't you say you wanted to reveal his identity to me?"
"If you really know who that person is, I can consider cooperating with you, and we can also discuss other collaborations."
"Now, can you speak?"
Meanwhile, Orochimaru's cold sweat flowed down, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Danzō actually knew nothing about the young man on top of his head? Was it an illusion?
'Natsuo, you've become stronger again...'
