Chapter 121 I've already become a famous person, so choosing a few concubines isn't too mu
In the 50th year of Konoha, Uchiha Mitsunori was 18 years old.
Last year, after he forcefully suppressed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and relocated the Konoha ninjas to the Land of Water, he completely changed the landscape of the ninja world.
Next, he used an iron fist to unite the two forces, transforming Kirigakure into "New Konohagakure," with Tsunade continuing as the Fifth Hokage.
Although the daimyo of the Land of Fire was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the status quo because he was wary of the absolute power of the three peaks.
The daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth were on guard, fearing that this madman with the Mangekyou Sharingan would cause even greater turmoil.
However, to everyone's surprise, Uchiha Mitsunori was pondering a "sweet trouble"!
"I've become a famous figure, so it's not unreasonable for me to choose a few wives!"
Tsunade – 38 years old, the Fifth Hokage, with a strong personality but exceptionally gentle towards him.
Uchiha Mikoto – 28 years old, wife of the former Uchiha clan leader, mature and elegant.
Uzumaki Megumi – 18 years old, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, gentle and virtuous.
Queen Sara – 19 years old, ruler of Loulan, possessing both wisdom and beauty.
Xue Qianhui – 19 years old, a descendant of the Xue clan, and a user of the Ice Release bloodline limit.
Uchiha Ami – 18 years old, the little sister next door, who has always liked to stick to me since she was little.
Actually, Mei Terumi is not bad either, it's just that she's not old enough!
"Now...who should be chosen as the queen?"
Uchiha Mitsunori sighed softly, his eyes filled with conflict.
The next morning, in the Hokage's office in the new Konoha Village.
Tsunade was sitting behind her desk, swirling a glass of sake in her hand.
She had just finished processing a batch of resettlement documents and was about to take a short break when her office door was suddenly pushed open.
Uchiha Mitsunori, dressed in the everyday clothes of a daimyo, walked straight in.
Now that Tsunade was alone in the room, he said without any beating around the bush, "Tsunade, marry me. I hope you can become my queen."
Tsunade paused, holding her wine glass, and looked up at him, raising an eyebrow with a half-smile: "Oh? Our daimyo, why are you suddenly talking about this today?"
She thought it was about village affairs, but she didn't expect it to be such a straightforward confession.
Uchiha Mitsunori walked up to her, bent down, and grasped her hand. His palm was warm and strong: "Tsunade, I'm serious. From the moment I decided to take you away from the Land of Fire, you became different."
Tsunade paused slightly, the playful smile on her face vanishing instantly. She stared blankly at Mitsumine, as if she were seeing him for the first time.
The next second, she suddenly burst into hearty laughter: "Hahahaha! You little pervert, you dare to say that! Do you know I'm twenty years older than you? Old enough to be your mother!"
Uchiha Mitsunori didn't laugh, but just silently looked at her: "Tsunade, I never care about your age, nor do I care about other people's opinions, so you're the first person I came to find!"
His heartfelt confession brought Tsunade's laughter to an abrupt halt.
A rare serious expression appeared on her smooth face as she gently withdrew her hand and walked to his side.
He reached out and gently patted his shoulders, saying earnestly, "Sanfeng, I know your feelings. I also know your ambition. You are the future king of the ninja world, and your first queen needs to be worthy of your status, at least to gain the approval of commoners and nobles. But I am not... I am not suitable to stand in that position."
She paused, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Go find Sarah. She's a young queen, a suitable match, has experience in governing, and can help you handle state affairs..."
Uchiha Mitsunori watched her silently, feeling her quiet dedication.
He understood her feelings and didn't argue further, simply nodding slightly.
The next second, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his figure instantly disappeared from the office.
Tsunade watched the disappearing figure and sighed softly.
In the blink of an eye, the three peaks of the Uchiha clan had returned to the royal palace of the Land of Water.
He walked through the ornately decorated corridor and headed straight for Uzumaki Megumi's residence. As soon as he reached the door, he heard a light, cheerful tune coming from inside—a folk song that Uzumaki Megumi loved to sing.
He pushed open the door and entered, and Huiyi hummed a song softly.
Hearing the door open, Uzumaki Megumi was startled: "Mimine... why are you here all of a sudden?"
Seeing her shy expression, Uchiha Mitsunori smiled faintly: "Huiyi, what do you think if I made you my queen?"
These words struck Huiyi like a bolt from the blue.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide, her fingers involuntarily twisting together, and stammered, "Sanfeng, I... I can't do it! You must be joking! I'm just an ordinary ninja, I don't know anything about governing a country, I have no way of managing the princess's affairs..."
Seeing her flustered and almost crying, a hint of disappointment flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He stepped forward, gently patted her shoulder, and said tenderly, "Huiyi, you're still young. You can learn everything slowly. I believe in you, and I'll always be there to help you."
Kei shook her head frantically, tears welling in her eyes: "Lady Mimine... I really can't... Lady Tsunade is more capable than me, Queen Sara is more intelligent than me, they are both so much better than me... You should choose them, not me."
Uchiha Mitsunaga remained silent for a moment, giving her a deep look, suppressing his disappointment. He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, his movements so tender as if he were afraid of breaking her: "Alright, I respect your decision. Don't overthink it, I was just asking how you feel."
His embrace was warm and comforting, and Huiyi's tears fell instantly, but she dared not cry out loud, and could only bite her lip tightly.
A moment later, Uchiha Mitsunori released her and turned to leave the room.
The moment the door closed, Huiyi Uzumaki squatted on the ground and began to sob softly, unable to calm down her inner turmoil and loss.
She was actually willing, but she really didn't have the courage or the confidence.
Without pausing after leaving the Water Kingdom's palace, Uchiha Mitsuru activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared in the center of the main hall of the Loulan Royal Palace in the next second.
Upon seeing this, the guards drew their swords, but upon recognizing the newcomer, they immediately sheathed them and knelt on one knee in a respectful salute: "Lord Sanfeng!"
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Yes, you all continue to keep watch, don't worry about me."
"Yes!" The guards stood up and returned to their positions, but their eyes remained alert.
Deep within the palace, Sarah was sitting on her throne reviewing documents when she heard the noise. She looked up and saw the three peaks that had suddenly appeared. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes for a moment, but she quickly regained her queenly composure.
She rose from the throne, her steps graceful, a hint of doubt in her gentle eyes: "Sanfeng, why did you come so suddenly? Didn't you even inform me beforehand?"
Uchiha Mitsunori didn't beat around the bush and walked straight up to her: "Sara, marry me. I want you to be my queen."
Sarah froze, her cheeks instantly flushing slightly, like the sunset on the horizon.
She looked at the man before her, and softly uttered, "Sanfeng... I really want to say yes, but..."
"Sarah, but what's wrong? Is something troubling you?"
Uchiha Mitsunori frowned slightly. He could sense Sara's feelings, but he didn't understand why she hesitated.
Queen Sarah raised her head, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance: "If I marry you, I will have to move to the Water Kingdom... What about Loulan? This is my country, my people, and I cannot abandon them."
Loulan was her root, the place she had devoted all her energy to protecting. She could not abandon her people for her own happiness.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori's doubts vanished instantly.
He slowly approached, reached out, and gently stroked her cheek. The warmth of his fingertips made Sarah's body tremble slightly.
"Fool, you can appoint your most trusted minister to manage the affairs of Loulan. We can come back to inspect once a month. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, just send me a message and I will come immediately. With me here, no one will dare to touch Loulan in the slightest."
A flicker of doubt crossed Sarah's eyes. She believed in Sanfeng's strength and his promise, but she still felt some hesitation.
Uchiha Mitsunori gazed into her eyes, his tone earnest and solemn: "Sara, do you love me?"
Sarah blushed even more, but did not avoid his gaze. Her eyes were firm and sincere: "...Love. From the moment you helped me repel the rebels and protect Loulan, I fell in love with you."
"Then are you willing to give everything for me?" he continued to ask, his fingertips gently stroking her cheek.
Sarah took a deep breath, all hesitation vanishing from her eyes. She nodded firmly, her voice trembling slightly, "I do."
Uchiha Mitsunori's lips instantly curled into a smile, and he reached out to pull her tightly into his arms: "That's enough. Loulan will be alright, I assure you."
Sarah nestled in his arms, feeling his firm chest and strong heartbeat. All her worries vanished, and tears of happiness welled up in her eyes. She nodded gently, "Okay... I promise you."
The marriage agreement between Mikado and Queen Sara was like a bombshell, spreading throughout the entire ninja world in just three days.
Whether they were citizens of the Land of Water, ninjas of the new Konoha, or nobles from other countries, they were all shocked.
Countless discussions and speculations arose, and teahouses and taverns were filled with talk of this engagement.
"I've heard that Queen Sara is only nineteen years old and is the most beautiful woman in Loulan. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also exceptionally intelligent, governing Loulan with remarkable efficiency. Such a woman is truly worthy of Lord Sanfeng!"
"Indeed! Lord Sanfeng is young and promising, and Queen Sara is beautiful and intelligent; they are a match made in heaven!"
Most people agreed that Sara was the queen, but when the list of concubines was announced, the entire ninja world was in an uproar, and everyone was stunned.
Besides the undisputed beauties like Uzumaki Megumi, Yuki Chie, and Uchiha Ami, the list also surprisingly included the names of Uchiha Mikoto and Tsunade.
The situation involving these two individuals instantly sparked huge controversy.
Mikoto Uchiha, 28 years old, is a widow with one child, Itachi Uchiha. Her ex-husband was Fugaku Uchiha, the former head of the Uchiha clan.
To make a married woman (even if widowed) a concubine is simply incomprehensible to a family that values etiquette.
Tsunade's situation was even more astonishing. Although she was unmarried, she was already thirty-eight years old, a full twenty years older than the Uchiha Mitsunori. One was an eighteen-year-old rising star in the ninja world, and the other was a thirty-eight-year-old veteran Hokage. Such an age gap was truly beyond everyone's imagination.
Immediately, all sorts of rumors began to circulate.
Some say that Lord Mitsumine has a preference for mature women; others say that Tsunade and Mikoto Uchiha hold great power, and that Mitsumine's move is to consolidate his power; still others say that there is a secret deal behind it.
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion, each holding their own opinion, pushing this engagement to the forefront of the ninja world's gossip.
However, Uchiha Mitsunori, who was at the center of the storm, was completely unconcerned about it.
He was helping Sarah choose her wedding dress when he heard the various rumors reported by his subordinates. He just smiled faintly and said, "Let them talk. Life is for yourself, not for others to see."
