The morning sun shone through the window, casting a golden glow on the floor of the room.
Tsunade opened her eyes and saw Haruki right in front of her. Her drowsy mind instantly cleared up.
She gave a lazy smile and said, "Well, you've achieved the goal for the first day."
"Someone just doesn't sleep well. My arm aches from being pressed on."
"What? You're the first to complain? Who's been the naughty one?"
Tsunade grabbed his right hand that had slipped into her pajamas and rolled her eyes at him.
Haruki feigned confusion. "I don't know what happened either. My hands don't listen to me when I'm asleep."
Actually, he had slipped in about half an hour ago, and Tsunade knew it.
"Quibbling."
Tsunade got up and urged, "You go out first. I need to change clothes."
"Okay, I'll go get breakfast."
Haruki stopped teasing her, went to the kitchen, and scooped the pre-cooked lean meat porridge into a bowl.
"The taste is still as wonderful as ever."
After Tsunade finished washing up, she held the bowl, took a sip of the porridge, and showed a happy smile.
Haruki reached out and gently scraped the tip of her nose.
"I always feel like you're treating me like a child. I'm not a kid anymore." Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.
"This is called spoiling." Haruki handed her a small spoon.
"Alright, you just about make the cut." Tsunade chuckled softly.
The breakfast was soon over.
Haruki waited for her to wash the dishes, then held her hand and led her to the Ninja Academy.
He had received news yesterday that Minato Namikaze and the other two had completed their duties and returned to Konoha.
After class, he led Obito Uchiha to the usual Third Training Ground.
"Teacher!" Kushina Uzumaki waved from afar and skipped over.
"Good morning!" Haruki smiled.
"It's almost evening. What do you mean by morning?" Kushina pouted.
"..."
Haruki tapped her on the head and greeted Minato and Mikoto.
Finally, he introduced Obito. "Minato, this is the apprentice I found for you, Obito Uchiha."
"My apprentice?" Minato Namikaze was taken aback. "Teacher, I'm just a Chunin, and this kid is too young. Hasn't he graduated yet?"
"A future apprentice." Haruki explained. "You and Mikoto can start training him. Since he's still young and his total Chakra amount isn't large, you can teach him some Taijutsu and how to use ninja tools."
"Okay."
Minato and Mikoto nodded and didn't refuse.
Minato trusted Haruki's judgment and thought Obito was not an ordinary child.
Mikoto knew that Haruki wanted to train Obito as a representative to change the image of the Uchiha clan, so she was naturally willing to help.
Moreover, she knew about Obito's situation and thought he was very pitiful.
"What about me?" Kushina looked at Haruki discontentedly. "I can teach him too."
"Wait until you've learned all the Sealing Technique that Lady Mito taught you."
"Fine." Kushina turned her head and snorted softly.
"Come on, anyway, Obito is here. You can give him some pointers if you're free."
Haruki couldn't help smiling when he saw her reaction.
Kushina immediately got excited.
"Now that you're back, there's another thing."
Haruki stroked Kushina's red hair and said, "July will be here in a few days. I plan to establish an organization on the first to integrate these messy chambers of commerce of mine. You three are also eligible to join if you're willing."
"Sure, we're willing!" the three quickly replied.
"At the ferry where the Nobu passes through our Konoha, you'll see a ship at that time. We'll hold the meeting on the ship."
"Okay." Although they didn't understand why the meeting would be held on a ship, the three didn't care about such details.
"Teacher, can I participate?" Obito finally couldn't help but interrupt.
"Wait until you graduate." Haruki didn't turn him down, which made Obito heave a sigh of relief.
After finishing talking about the matter, Haruki didn't stay any longer.
He handed Obito over to the three of them, letting him experience the life of a Genin in advance.
Don't think he's easy - going on a daily basis. Under Haruki's influence, Minato and his companions are quite strict in their training.
Well, Obito will get a taste of such strict training then.
After that, Haruki went to the Research Institute, the Hyuga clan, and the Konoha bookstore to give notice, and also sent someone to inform the distant Oshima Chamber of Commerce.
Actually, the number of people wasn't large.
In his opinion, Minato Namikaze was the most skilled, while the others were a bit worse.
But development isn't achieved overnight.
First, set a clear goal, and then everyone moves forward together. Along the way, some may join, and perhaps some may leave. But the path remains the same. One after another, there will always be someone reaching the end.
After the organization is established, more profound ideas and theories can be spread.
The more they understand the truth of the world, the more they'll unconsciously influence more people, and eventually gather into a huge force.
However, establishing an organization isn't just about talking. There's a lot of preparatory work.
Take The Akatsuki Organization for example. There are unified clothing, rings representing identity, a two - person team organizational structure, and common goals: making money, capturing Tailed Beasts, and achieving peace in the ninja world.
And Haruki's organization would naturally be more complicated.
In addition to the above, there would also be an organization flag, an oath of membership, each person's division of labor, and organizational rules that must be followed.
The Akatsuki is essentially a loose organization.
And Haruki couldn't entrust these things to others; he had to do it all by himself.
Although he was often exposed to such things in his previous life, the workload was still quite large.
Haruki returned home and started writing.
According to the memory of his previous life, he initially outlined what this organization needed to do and how to do it.
This was the most important part.
The Will of Fire seems like a castle in the air because neither Hashirama Senju nor Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the right path.
The former was too naive, and the latter was too incompetent.
"What are you writing?"
Tsunade was a bit curious. Usually, he would notice her before she even got close.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."
Haruki slapped his forehead. He had told everyone but forgot about Tsunade.
This is what's called being blind to what's right under one's nose.
As his girlfriend, Tsunade definitely had to join.
Otherwise, with such a big secret between them, problems would surely arise in the future.
"I'm going to create an organization," Haruki pondered for a moment and then explained his intention.
Thankfully, he took Tsunade to Sunagakure.
After seeing what he did, Tsunade had already expected it and wasn't overly surprised.
"I support you," Tsunade leaned on his shoulder. "No matter what you do."
"Hey, don't make it sound like I'm gonna take you to do something bad."
Haruki patted her cheek. "Besides, what we're gonna do involves the bright future of millions of people."
Looking at his high - spirited appearance, Tsunade couldn't help but kiss him.
She had a fondness for Haruki's ungrounded confidence and seemingly unattainable ideals.
At this moment, she inexplicably felt like a moth flying towards Haruki, the blazing candle.
