Chapter 193: Closing the Net

"How's the matter going?"

Kawaki didn't go home from the training ground but went straight to the Uchiha clan's land.

He was chatting with Fugaku at the moment, sitting face to face.

They were already quite familiar with each other and were very relaxed, without the previous formality.

"It's almost time to close the net."

Fugaku took this matter very seriously and would ask about it specifically every day.

Naturally, he was very clear about the progress.

"Thanks for your trouble."

Kawaki smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"It's just a small thing."

Fugaku said it casually, but in fact, the Uchiha clan was taking a great risk in this matter.

Once it was discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi, they would really completely break with him.

"How about the Uchiha Security Force?"

Kawaki had given his verbal promise and kept Fugaku's efforts in mind. He would surely reward him well later.

"He's inserted quite a few members of the Sarutobi clan into it."

"But I've placed them in unimportant positions."

"For now, they're being quite obedient and haven't caused any trouble."

Fugaku briefly described the situation in a calm tone without any resentment.

"Good. How much did it cost?"

Kawaki nodded. Fugaku was finally showing some mettle.

"Previously, we paid the allowance ourselves. Now the village is covering it."

"We're saving a lot of money every month. Our lives are much more comfortable now."

As Fugaku said this, his face beamed with satisfaction.

However, there was also a lot of banter in his words. The Uchiha clan wasn't short of money; it was more of a psychological satisfaction.

"Look at you being so petty."

Kawaki joked and then continued.

"Then let's close the net tomorrow."

"Sure, I'll make the arrangements tonight."

Fugaku seriously agreed. The horn of attack officially sounded from this moment on.

"I'm counting on you."

"However, there's still one more thing for you to do."

Kawaki motioned for Fugaku to come closer and whispered in his ear for a while.

"You send someone..."

After listening to what Kawaki said, Fugaku was completely shocked.

"It's unlikely, right?"

He felt that Kawaki's speculation was quite terrifying. Could this be something the Hokage would do?

"I'm not sure either. You'll know after you investigate."

Kawaki calmly smiled. Judging from the original plot, he was 99% sure.

"Okay, I got it."

Fugaku agreed. After a moment of silence, he continued.

"I actually hope it's true. Then his tenure as Hokage will be over."

Looking at Fugaku's somewhat excited expression, Kawaki slowly said.

"Don't worry."

"Even if this plan doesn't work, his tenure as Hokage is coming to an end."

...

After chatting for a while longer, Kawaki got up and left.

Fugaku didn't see him off. Instead, he immediately summoned his trusted subordinate and assigned the task that Kawaki had mentioned.

"This matter is of great importance."

"Don't let anyone else know."

"Report directly to me. Do you understand?"

Fugaku stared seriously at his trusted subordinate in front of him.

"Yes, Clan Leader."

This Uchiha Jonin ninja agreed without any hesitation.

"Be careful. After all, the Sarutobi clan belongs to the Hokage lineage."

"Go down."

Fugaku patted his shoulder and left alone.

The good days for the Uchiha clan are coming, and Fugaku's mood became cheerful.

"Fugaku, why are you so happy today?"

A beautiful and gentle woman appeared in front of Fugaku.

"Mikoto, how long have you been here?"

Fugaku looked very happy and stepped forward to hold the girl's hand.

Since Uncle left, thanks to Mikoto's company, he managed to get over it so quickly.

Now everyone in the clan knew that Mikoto was going to be the future clan leader's wife, but they were not of marriageable age yet.

"I've been here for a while. You were talking to Lord Kawaki."

"I didn't dare to interrupt."

Mikoto was still a bit shy and spoke in a soft voice.

Perhaps it was this kind of personality that complemented Kushina, which was why the two became best friends.

"The talk is over. Come out for a walk with me."

Fugaku had no urgent matters to deal with for the moment, so he wanted to take Mikoto out for a walk.

"Okay."

Mikoto nodded in agreement and let Fugaku lead her out by the hand.

The gears of fate had changed. This time, the two would not die at the hands of their own kin.

Hold your hand and stay together until the end of life!!

...

That night, Fugaku informed Ao to start closing the net.

An invisible net was spreading, while Hiruzen Sarutobi was still wondering why Kawaki has been back for so many days without taking any action.

Did he not care about Hiruzen Sarutobi because Hiruzen Sarutobi is Tsunade's teacher?

The more Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't figure it out, the more irritable he became, and he only went to bed at his wife's urging.

But he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Kawaki was now urging Tsunade to take a bath with great interest.

He hadn't forgotten what Tsunade promised him in the morning at all.

"What? Do I have to carry you to the bath?"

Kawaki put his arm around Tsunade's shoulder, and his hand naturally dropped to a certain large area.

"Can't you be serious?"

"Did you go to see Fugaku today?"

Tsunade gave him a disdainful look. Was he really that impatient?

"Yes, there'll be a good show tomorrow."

Kawaki exerted a little pressure with his hand.

"You're gonna kill me!"

Tsunade slapped the back of his hand, with a tinge of coquetry.

"Hehe ~ I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it."

Kawaki made excuses for himself. Why was his hand always so disobedient?

"Are you sure?"

Tsunade grabbed Kawaki's hand to stop him from causing more trouble.

"Yes, I'm so sure that I can hardly hold it back."

"Go to hell."

Tsunade was both angry and amused by Kawaki. What kind of person was he?

"Haha, don't worry."

"It'll be resolved peacefully. I'll definitely satisfy you."

The method Kawaki chose was indeed peaceful. He had fully considered Tsunade in this regard.

After all, Hiruzen was her teacher, and she didn't want to see anyone get killed.

"That's better."

"I'm going to take a bath. You stay here quietly."

Only then was Tsunade satisfied and got up to leave, leaving Kawaki alone in the room.

"Who do you think I am? An honest man?"

Kawaki calculated the time. Tsunade should be taking a bath by now.

He snapped his fingers and disappeared from the spot.

"I knew you'd come and act like a hooligan."

Tsunade wasn't surprised at all. If Kawaki didn't show up, he wouldn't be the Kawaki she knew.

"I just want to scrub your back."

Kawaki put on an innocent look.

He wasted no time and got undressed in a flash.

"Do you believe me?"

Tsunade glanced at Kawaki's private area. Did he think she was a fool?

"Haha, this is my way of showing respect to you."

Kawaki still shamelessly argued.

"Save it."

Tsunade stopped looking at Kawaki and started rinsing herself.

After a short while, she felt a pair of big hands on her chest.

Something hard pressed against her back.

Then, a flurry of kisses rained down on her neck.

"I thought you were here to scrub my back?"

Tsunade bit her lower lip gently, her voice coming from her throat.

"If you don't accept my kind offer, then you'll have to face the consequences."

Kawaki snorted, turned Tsunade around, and they stared into each other's eyes.

"Mmm~"

One thing led to another.

Before long, the sound of passion echoed in the bathroom.
