Chapter 578: Not long after becoming Hokage, he took a 7-day vacation to spend time with his wife!
The wedding of the three Uchiha peaks was a once-in-a-century event for Konoha.
After the wedding, the Fourth Hokage, who had been in office for less than half a month, resolutely took a seven-day vacation...
Every morning, the first rays of golden sunlight stream through the carved window frames and fall upon the bed covered with a snow-white fox fur quilt.
Because he had so many wives, he could only take turns... sometimes it was Tsunade... sometimes it was Mikoto Uchiha... sometimes it was Kushina...
During the day, warm tea and snacks are always served on the stone table in the courtyard.
Uchiha Mitsunori often accompanied Kushina to eat snacks... and would also quietly enjoy tea with Mikoto... The other five wives never complained in the slightest, and they accompanied each other in tacit understanding.
Tsunade still retains some of her forthrightness, and will pretend to be angry and punch him, complaining that he is "too biased towards Kushina and Mikoto," but he laughs and tickles her palm to make her happy.
Uchiha Ami was lively and would always tug at his sleeve, pestering him to go to the Konoha market... Uzumaki Megumi... Aoyama Yui... Sango added a lot of laughter to the mansion.
These seven days were free from the busyness of the Hokage and the conflicts of the ninja world.
Uchiha Mitsunaga seemed to have shed all his burdens, spending his days with his newlywed wives, and his smiles were much more frequent than before.
On the morning of the eighth day, not long after dawn, Uchiha Mikoto was the first to wake up.
A faint blush rose on her cheeks, and she gently poked his chest with her finger, softly calling out, "Sanfeng, wake up, it's time to get up."
The Uchiha Triumphs have indulged themselves for seven days, and the official duties of the Hokage's office have already piled up like mountains. Elder Nara and Elder Hyuga are probably already overwhelmed with work.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still heavy with sleep, his eyes somewhat hazy.
But when he saw Mikoto in his arms, the drowsiness in his eyes vanished instantly, and he reached out to hug her even tighter: "Let's sleep a little longer, just a little longer...?"
Mikoto gently nudged his shoulder, her eyes filled with a tender smile, and her fingers lightly brushed his cheek.
"No way. You've already had seven days off, and Elder Nara and Elder Hyuga are practically overwhelmed with work. They've sent several groups of people to urge you to come back to work these past few days. If you don't get up soon, they might have to come to your door in person to ask you to come. Get up, wash up, and eat. You have to go to the Hokage Building after that. You can't be so willful anymore."
Uchiha Mitsunori sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't escape it any longer.
He slowly loosened his embrace, rubbed his sleepy eyes, reached out and pinched her cheek, kissing her on the cheek: "I'll listen to you, my dear Mikoto. After all, I listen to you the most."
Mikoto Uchiha blushed even more, gently slapped his hand away, turned around and stood up, helping him tidy up his scattered clothes and folding them neatly. She said softly, "I'll go wake Kushina and the others up. Hurry up and wash up, don't keep everyone waiting for you, breakfast won't taste good if it gets cold."
After saying that, she tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded and got up to walk towards the washroom.
Before long, he finished washing up and his sleepiness disappeared.
When he arrived at the restaurant, all seven wives were already seated, and the table was laden with an exquisite breakfast...
He walked to the head seat and sat down, his gaze slowly sweeping over his seven wives, his eyes full of smugness.
They were dressed in different clothes, and each had a gentle smile in her eyes, each with her own unique beauty.
Looking at his seven beautiful wives, Uchiha Mitsunori was filled with pride.
He picked up his chopsticks and deliberately sighed, "To be honest, being Hokage is so boring. Every day I have to deal with a bunch of tedious official duties and all sorts of backstabbing and intrigue. I don't even have time to spend with you guys properly. How about I quickly find a reliable person to succeed me as Fifth Hokage, and then I'll resign and come back to spend every day with you guys, and never bother with those troublesome things again? Okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a light, crisp laugh rang out from around the dining table, instantly making the atmosphere even more relaxed.
Uchiha Ami waved her chopsticks, her tone playful: "Hokage-sama, you can't slack off! You're our support, and the support of the entire Konoha village. What will happen to Konoha if you resign?"
Tsunade put down her chopsticks, rolled her eyes at him, and tapped the rim of his bowl: "Alright, stop joking around and eat. You haven't been to work for seven days, and the official business in the Hokage Building is piling up like a mountain. Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi probably don't even have time to drink water or catch their breath."
"After breakfast, I'll go to work with you. There are many important things in the village that require your personal decision-making. You can't continue to be willful and let everyone down."
The other wives chimed in, and Kushina picked up a piece of rice cake and gently placed it in his bowl.
"Sanfeng, we all understand you and know you're working hard. Go ahead and handle your business without worrying about us. We'll take good care of ourselves at home and wait for you to come back."
Mikoto Uchiha nodded and ladled a bowl of rice porridge for him: "Eat quickly, or it will get cold. You need energy to handle official business, so don't let yourself go hungry."
Huiyi, Youyi, and Shanhu also reminded him to be careful and not to overwork himself.
Looking into everyone's gentle eyes and listening to their concerned words of advice, Uchiha Mitsunori's smile grew even more smug.
He nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly began eating his breakfast.
The atmosphere at the dining table was warm and lively. A few casual words and laughter dispelled the morning chill and allowed him to temporarily put aside the upcoming busyness and pressure, filling his heart with peace and strength.
Half an hour later, breakfast ended, and Uchiha Mitsunori and Tsunade got up together to say goodbye to their other six wives.
"I'm going to work now. If there's anything urgent, send someone to the Hokage Building to find me."
Finally, he placed a gentle kiss on the foreheads of Kushina and Mikoto before leaving the mansion with Tsunade.
The two walked side by side on the streets of Konoha, where the festive atmosphere of the wedding still lingered. Crimson ribbons were still wrapped around the branches, and lanterns swayed gently in the breeze, making a soft "rustling" sound.
When the villagers saw the Uchiha Sanfeng, they all stopped and bowed in respect, showing great enthusiasm.
"Greetings, Hokage!"
"Lord Hokage, may you and your wives enjoy a long and happy marriage!"
A little boy exclaimed, "Mrs. Tsunade is so beautiful! Mom, when I grow up, I want to marry a wife like her...!"
Uchiha Mitsunaga was slightly embarrassed, but wore a gentle smile: "I hope everyone is well..."
Before long, the two arrived at the Hokage Building.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the two advisor elders, Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi, sitting on the sofa in the hall.
They looked exhausted, their eyes were bloodshot, and they had faint dark circles under their eyes, clearly having stayed up for several nights in a row.
On the table in front of them, there was a thick stack of documents, piled up like a small mountain, with several cups of tea that had long since gone cold beside them.
Seeing this, the smile on Uchiha Mitsunori's face gradually faded, replaced by an awkward grin...
He knew that the two elders had indeed been under a lot of pressure during those seven days.
"Sanfeng, you've finally arrived!"
Nara Shikaku was the first to stand up, his body swaying slightly, clearly exhausted, with a relieved expression on his face.
He reached out and rubbed his throbbing temples, his tone urgent: "Your seven-day holiday has kept Elder Rizu and me extremely busy. There are just too many official duties piled up, and there are a few urgent matters that require your personal decision. We dare not make decisions on our own."
Hiashi Hyuga also stood up, his expression still somewhat grave: "Mitsubo, things are a bit tricky. Let's go to the conference room and I'll report to you in detail. There are too many people here, so it's not convenient to say much."
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded, his expression gradually becoming calmer: "Alright, let's go to the conference room. No matter how difficult things are, don't worry."
The four of them walked into the conference room together, closed the door, and the conference room instantly became quiet, filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Nara Shikaku picked up a document from the table, his tone grave: "Hokage-sama, during your vacation, a major event occurred... The former Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, led over a thousand Sarutobi clan ninjas and openly defected to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire..."
