Putting aside the dislike toward the Hidden Cloud Village, to look at it fairly, the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't even have such strong men, it can even be said they are far from comparable.
Of course, Mabui is also stubborn and hard-headed, not someone who can be persuaded easily—hopefully, she wakes up soon.
Even if there is such a plan to use Ryosuke's bloodline to develop into a family, the resulting bloodline may not necessarily be stronger than Ryosuke.
Even if they succeed in creating a new Uchiha Clan within the Hidden Cloud Village, so what? Wouldn't those descendants still be considered part of the Uchiha bloodline?
It could even end up with Mabui becoming a free breeder of Uchiha Clan members.
What's important is that Ryosuke is willing to give such an important bloodline to these two women. This kind of consequence is impossible not to consider.
So then, even if they give birth to the children, whether they can even bring them back to the Hidden Cloud Village is still uncertain?
For some reason, Yugito keeps feeling that Ryosuke doesn't care about what they think at all. What he craves is nothing more than their bodies.
Yugito didn't bother with Mabui anymore and instead opened the gift bag Ryosuke had sent. Inside were some shoes, clothes, sour dates, and medicines.
She felt very confused—are these daily necessities? But they seemed a bit different from ordinary ones, more like things used at home.
Picking up that bottle of medicine, the label said it was a health supplement for pregnant women.
A strange feeling rose up in her heart. Was this meant to help her have a better pregnancy? He really prepared this thoroughly.
Mabui also came over at this time and saw those things. She was a little surprised—he even helped her prepare everything.
With these, they could smoothly give birth. This would allow both of them to successfully deliver Uchiha bloodline children. She felt secretly pleased. She wondered whether this guy would regret doing this later.

Outside Konoha Village, in the orphanage, the female shopkeeper had also delivered the things Ryosuke bought.
She gave them to the orphanage director—Yakushi Nono.
After seeing those things, Yakushi Nono felt a bit joyful, yet also a bit troubled. She really cared for those orphans, but now she had her own bloodline, her own lover.
She had never imagined that one day she could live a life like an ordinary woman.
What troubled her was that she still had to manage the orphanage, and now that she was pregnant, she might not be able to move easily. Her belly would get bigger and bigger—it would be really inconvenient later on.
Thankfully, she still had Yakushi Kabuto helping her. He had previously been asked to be brought back from the Root base by Ryosuke.
He was very well-behaved, and already able to handle some work. But in the end, he was still just a child—it was a bit hard on him.
Yakushi Nono was now considering whether she should start hiring people. Thanks to her careful planning, she had ensured the children's nutrition and even saved some money. That money should be enough to hire someone.
But all that money was given by Ryosuke, so she still had to discuss it with him. She had promised it would be used for the orphans—not for herself.

In the afternoon, inside the Hokage office, Tsunade felt a bit stifled and uneasy.
She was worried about the matter of being pregnant. Although she hadn't taken a test, her belly had been filled to the brim by him. Plus, she was already feeling nauseous—it was most likely real.
Even if she's carefree by nature, this kind of thing is still a big deal to any woman. And she really had never thought about having Ryosuke's child—she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Honestly, combining with this guy was originally just to protect Konoha and keep him under control. Even though she really enjoyed that feeling. But if she had his child, then it would be a completely inseparable bond.
They'd truly become a family.
Just thinking about that made her face a little red. Actually, this kind of outcome… didn't seem completely unacceptable either.

On the other side, Shikaku was working and saw Tsunade in that state—he was puzzled. 'Could it be that Tsunade-sama is too tired?'
He spoke up. "Tsunade-sama, if you're feeling tired, you can go back and rest early. I'll take care of the rest."
What remained were all detailed tasks that he could handle himself—Tsunade didn't need to personally be involved.
He didn't want her to be too exhausted either. He even suspected that Tsunade-sama's condition wasn't just physical fatigue—after all, she was a medical ninja—it might be something else.
Perhaps something related to Konoha's strongest man, Uchiha Ryosuke. But things like this weren't for him to get involved in. That kind of man wouldn't allow others to interfere anyway.
Previously, he even threatened the Daimyo's envoy to not cut their funds. In just a few days, the Daimyo sent people again to express an apology, admitting their prior decision was inappropriate.
They restored the original funding for Konoha. The Daimyo is, after all, the nominal ruler of the Land of Fire—and yet even he bowed to Konoha like this.
All because of the Uchiha Clan—more accurately, Uchiha Ryosuke.
Giving Tsunade-sama more time to deal with personal matters was the top priority. Thankfully, ever since she became Hokage, the Uchiha Clan had stopped causing trouble.
The village had become more peaceful than ever.
Tsunade sighed after hearing Shikaku's words.bShe truly was feeling a bit worried and tired. Facing this pile of documents, not being annoyed was impossible.
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you then—I'll get off work early."
Shikaku had worked under her for so long and had shown excellent capability. He was a great help to Tsunade. With his assistance, Tsunade had been able to quickly sort out village affairs after being away for so many years.
Tsunade then stood up, left the Hokage office, then walked out of the Hokage building, heading down Konoha's streets.
A walk to clear her mind. The people around greeted her warmly.
"Tsunade-sama."
"Fifth Hokage."
Tsunade nodded to each of them in response. Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces showed that the villagers and the village had truly come back to life—her mood naturally improved.
This was the place she had lived in the longest. This kind of life… felt just right.
As she wandered around, she came to a corner and heard a noisy commotion. Turning her head, she saw—it was actually a gambling hall.
