Shindai handed the shop over to Uchiha Hikari and Yakushi Kabuto. Although Uchiha Hikari didn't agree, it didn't matter; as long as he pestered her, she would eventually agree.
Shindai went to the laboratory alone.
"Phew, next, let's continue researching magnetic fields. The power that burst out when the positive and negative magnetic fields attracted and made contact last time was considerable. If I study it in depth, it might become a means to deal with the Nine-Tailed..."
Shindai immediately began his research; time waits for no one.
Inside Shindais Dream House.
Uchiha Hikari was like a salted fish, her head resting on the table.
She felt something was a bit off.
She was supposed to observe the Uchiha Clan, but it seemed... up until now, she hadn't observed them at all.
It was all Shindai's fault for making her forget her main task.
Never mind, she would observe them later when she had time. This little bit of time wouldn't make a difference.
On the other side, at Minato Namikaze's home.
In order to take better care of Uzumaki Kushina, Pakura took leave.
After all, after Minato Namikaze became Hokage, it was the daily nine-to-five grind, and he had to work overtime from time to time, so he couldn't take good care of Uzumaki Kushina properly.
Now that Uzumaki Kushina was pregnant, she was a key object of care, and it was too worrying for her to be home alone.
At this time, Minato Namikaze was in his office looking at the documents found by Root.
Seeing these documents, Minato Namikaze's brows were tightly furrowed.
No wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi said he wanted to let Danzo go this once. If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't said that, Minato Namikaze would definitely have dealt with Danzo.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
"Please come in."
The office door opened, and it was Uchiha Fugaku.
After Uchiha Fugaku walked in, he greeted Minato Namikaze: "Fourth Hokage."
Minato Namikaze placed the documents in his hand on the table and said to Uchiha Fugaku: "Clan Leader Fugaku, Root has been disbanded."
Uchiha Fugaku felt a sudden joy in his heart. Root was disbanded, and now Danzo was nothing in Konoha, so there would be nothing to hinder the improvement of the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha.
Minato Namikaze continued: "Then, the reform of the Konoha Military Police Force will begin next. Starting tomorrow, please arrange for the Uchiha who serve in the Military Police Force and are willing to accept the reform, Clan Leader Fugaku. I will dispatch them to serve in various departments of Konoha, and at the same time, recruit new Ninja into the Military Police Force.
Clan Leader Fugaku, please coordinate well with the deputy captain of the Military Police Force at that time to ensure no accidents occur. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If some serious problems arise at the start, it might be very troublesome later."
Uchiha Fugaku answered seriously: "Please rest assured, Fourth Hokage. I will definitely restrain them, and there will be no accidents. May I ask, Fourth Hokage, who is the new deputy captain?"
Minato Namikaze replied: "Originally, my priority choice was Shikaku, but because Root was disbanded and reorganized, and a new Anbu training department was created, there isn't a good candidate for the department leader for the time being, so I let Shikaku take the role temporarily. Therefore, for the deputy captain of the Military Police Force, I intend to let Inoichi do it."
"Inoichi Yamanaka? A very good candidate."
During the Third Shinobi World War, Uchiha Fugaku had fought alongside the Ino–Shika–Chō, and Uchiha Fugaku had a very good impression of the three of them.
Inoichi Yamanaka had a humble personality, was very gentlemanly, and was easy to get along with. Uchiha Fugaku believed he would be able to get along well with Inoichi Yamanaka in the future.
After Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Fugaku discussed some details, he left to prepare.
...
Time flew by, and three months passed.
The reform of the Konoha Military Police Force, under the joint promotion of Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Fugaku, had been initially completed.
The Konoha Military Police Force was no longer a private department of the Uchiha Clan; more than half of it consisted of other Ninja.
Uchiha Fugaku took the responsibility for the Military Police Force reform upon himself, telling his clansmen that the Military Police Force reform was something he had proposed to Minato Namikaze.
In this way, the extremist clansmen within the Uchiha Clan would not blame Minato Namikaze.
At the same time, if any Uchiha clansman wanted to cause trouble, they would be dealt with by Uchiha Fugaku with extremely severe punishment, leaving absolutely no room for leniency.
After the Konoha Military Police Force reform had been in place for a while, many Uchiha clansmen had actually discovered the benefits and felt that Uchiha Fugaku's approach was correct.
Although it hadn't been long, that feeling of being isolated was already beginning to slowly disappear.
Uchiha Fugaku was happy from the bottom of his heart regarding this change in the clansmen's mentality.
But there were still things that gave Uchiha Fugaku a headache, namely those clansmen with extreme personalities who still hadn't changed, and frictions would occur from time to time with other Ninja in the Military Police Force.
However, under the suppression of Uchiha Fugaku as the clan leader, they had still restrained themselves a lot.
Uchiha Fugaku was now preparing to slowly weed out those extremist clansmen from the Military Police Force.
As for those Uchiha clansmen who agreed to the reform, Minato Namikaze had properly arranged their placements, dispatching them to serve in various departments of Konoha, where they were all doing quite well.
The Uchiha Clan was moving in a good direction.
As for the disbanded Root Ninja, because these Ninja had no self and only recognized Danzo, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to temporarily incorporate them into the newly created Anbu training department.
And the scientific research personnel of Root joined the already established Scientific Research Department, becoming researchers under Orochimaru.
Now Orochimaru had already begun conducting research in the Scientific Research Department base.
However, Shindai did not go along with them.
Because the experiments he was doing now sometimes made a bit of a loud commotion, and sudden explosions were a frequent occurrence, so Shindai was still doing research in the previous underground research base.
During these three months, Shindai left early and returned late, and even for a few days, he simply didn't go home and stayed in the laboratory. In the end, it was Uchiha Hikari who went to drag Shindai back.
Not sleeping for days, Uchiha Hikari worried that Shindai would die suddenly in the laboratory.
Pakura had been taking care of Uzumaki Kushina, and Uzumaki Kushina, who was already 5 months pregnant, had a noticeably protruding belly.
As for Shindais Dream House.
Over the past three months, although people came to look from time to time, not a single puppet had been sold.
And Uchiha Hikari and Yakushi Kabuto watching the shop were truly just watching the shop; when customers came, at most Yakushi Kabuto would shout "Welcome".
As for introducing the products, that was impossible; they still had their pride. Shindai's loudspeaker played on a loop, and the loudspeaker's introduction was enough.
Just when Uchiha Hikari and Yakushi Kabuto thought today would be just like that, a person about the same age as Shindai, wearing sunglasses, snuck into the shop.
And this person was Ebisu.
