"Ryoko, you did a good job on this trip to Iwagakure. When we return to Konoha, you will serve as my deputy."
Chiba patted the perceptive ninja next to him on the shoulder and said approvingly.
Ryoka Yamanaka is an ordinary member of a branch family of the Yamanaka clan. She is just an unknown nobody. Because she looks and has a similar figure to Ino Yamanaka, she was kept by Chiba's side.
Now it seems that this woman is quite capable; she's not just a pretty face.
"Thank you for your promotion, Lord Chiba. Ryoka will continue to work hard!"
Ryoko Yamazaka showed a look of surprise, and the other subordinates also looked at Ryoko with envious eyes.
Damn it, they've done their fair share of flattery, how come Liangxiang beat them to it?
This woman is likely to be highly valued by Lord Chiba from now on!
"Alright, seniors, we have won a great victory and reaped a rich harvest this time. I will take 20%, and you can distribute the remaining 80% of the profits among yourselves."
Chiba smiled and bowed to the heads of several major clans around him, then took out a list and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku's usually stern face was now grinning like a husky.
In the past, the Uchiha clan was excluded from the power center of Konoha, but now that Chiba is backing him up, who will dare to underestimate Uchiha Fugaku?
"Chief Fugaku, don't just enjoy it yourself, show it to us too."
"That's right. It just so happens that the head of Nara is here too. Why don't you ask him to help us plan things out and distribute the resources reasonably?"
Several clan leaders eagerly gathered around, and their breathing became rapid when they saw the densely packed assets on the list.
Following Hiruzen Sarutobi, they went hungry for three days straight, but now that they're with the new Hokage, they can finally have some soup and meat!
Even if the few of them present divided the wealth that Iwagakure had accumulated over the years equally, it would still be a considerable sum, equivalent to their family's income for decades!
"The heads of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans must be regretting it to the core right now."
The head of the Hyuga clan murmured with a sigh, and the heads of the other clans nodded in agreement.
Because these two clans had previously openly supported Hiruzen Sarutobi, they have now been excluded from the new circle by Chiba, and thus have no chance of receiving any of the spoils.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness I'm good at changing my stance according to the wind, unlike those two stubborn fools!" The Hyuga clan leader thought to himself with satisfaction.
"Judging by the time, Orochimaru and Kakuzu should be almost done by now."
After handling the important matters in Iwagakure, Chiba entrusted the remaining trivial matters to his two future advisors, Yamanaka Ryoka and Nara Shikaku, while he himself used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the Land of Earth.
……
Somewhere in the Land of Rice Fields, Chiba appeared beside Orochimaru using the Flying Thunder God Technique, looking at him with an inquiring gaze.
"Chiba-kun, Orochimaru has lived up to your expectations. Here is the Two-Tails chakra you requested."
Orochimaru understood, took out a sealing scroll from his robes, and handed it to Chiba with a smile.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work. Let's go back to Konoha together!"
Chiba took the scroll and put it away, then placed a hand on Orochimaru's shoulder and teleported him directly back to the laboratory at Konoha's Root headquarters.
Bang!
Upon seeing the return of his true self, Orochimaru's clone vanished into smoke, returning to his original self with his memories intact.
"Oh? As expected of Lord Tobirama, you've made quite a bit of progress while my main body was away!"
After reading the memories transmitted by the clone, Orochimaru showed a surprised expression and couldn't help but admire it.
"Huh, that's natural."
Tobirama Senju gave a haughty snort and accepted Orochimaru's praise without hesitation.
Tobirama Senju was a genius, but unfortunately his older brother was a fool who had no vision.
He invented so many amazing ninjutsu techniques specifically designed for the Uchiha clan, but they were all thrown into his older brother's favorites folder to gather dust!
"However, the time was too short, and this is all I can do."
Tobirama Senju shook his head and said, "If I were to reincarnate using the high-quality offerings brought back by Chiba, my strength might be able to approach my peak state, but my elder brother would at most retain about half of his strength from his previous life."
"Is that so?" Chiba fell into thought after hearing Tobirama Senju's words.
"Even Madara Uchiha might not be able to recover to his peak condition. I am capable of fighting on my own, and now with the Senju brothers by my side, there shouldn't be any problem."
……
After leaving the laboratory to Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru and encouraging them to keep up the good work, Chiba went to the place he had arranged to meet Kakuzu.
pat.
Kakuzu had obviously been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing Chiba, he immediately threw an unconscious middle-aged man in front of Chiba.
"Good grief, I asked you to collect the Seven-Tails' chakra, and you just kidnapped the Seven-Tails' Jinchuriki? You're really something else!"
Chiba clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected of a professional, he did a great job!
"..."
Chiba was originally planning to leave with the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, but he noticed that Kakuzu had not turned away and was staring at him with his turtle-like eyes.
Chiba immediately understood that Kakuzu was waiting for the "bounty" for this job.
"Kakuzu, you must have heard that I have conquered Iwagakure and amassed a large fortune."
After a moment of contemplation, Chiba began to make promises: "I am now planning to use this money to establish an organization independent of Konoha, called 'Akatsuki,' and you will be in charge of managing Akatsuki's finances."
"Yes, Chief."
Kakuzu was very satisfied with Chiba's promise; the Akatsuki's treasurer position sounded like a lucrative job.
"I wonder what Kakuzu will think when he finds out that the Akatsuki is full of kids."
Chiba silently thought as he watched Kakuzu's departing figure.
……
With only two months left, Chiba brought the remaining power of the tailed beasts to the underground palace to avoid arousing suspicion from Madara Uchiha.
"Senior Madara, as agreed, I have retrieved the remaining three tailed beast powers, and I can now heal you."
Chiba did not bring the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. He waved the three sealing scrolls in his hand and said with a smile.
"Alright, Chiba, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
Madara Uchiha was overjoyed and stood up from the stone chair. Decades had passed, and he had finally waited for this day!
Chiba is also full of expectations.
Although Madara Uchiha is old and frail now, he has essentially obtained the power of all things in the universe, which means he has reached the threshold of the Six Paths level.
If he can heal the other person, the reward he receives will certainly be commensurate with Madara's strength.
"Senior Madara, let's not delay, let's begin."
"it is good!"
The two equally eager individuals hit it off immediately. Uchiha Madara formed hand seals, and the Gedo Mazo behind him slowly began to move.
"Unseal the seal, Chiba."
Madara Uchiha spoke with some difficulty.
Even though he lost the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha still had the power of all things in the universe remaining in his body. He could still easily control the Gedo Mazo and seal a small amount of tailed beast chakra.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Chiba accepted the six scrolls handed to him by Black Zetsu, lined up the nine scrolls in a row, and unsealed them one by one. The frenzied energy instantly filled the entire underground palace.
Chapter 120 Kaleidoscope, Permanent Overlord Body!
"Uhhhhhhhhhh!"
Madara Uchiha let out a low growl with difficulty, his facial features straining as he strained, clearly indicating that controlling the Gedo Mazo without the Rinnegan was a significant burden for him.
"What a pity. If it weren't for the reward, if we had summoned the Senju brothers now, we might have actually been able to destroy Uchiha Madara."
Chiba shook his head inwardly and began to seal the power of the tailed beasts one by one, cooperating with Madara.
Click!Click!Click!
After Madara Uchiha exerted tremendous effort, the Gedo Mazo's enormous mouth slowly opened, releasing a faint "attracting chakra" to draw in the equally faint power of the tailed beasts not far away.
After trying for a long time, Madara still couldn't draw the power of the tailed beast. Helpless, he could only look at Chiba beside him and say.
"Chiba, come help me!"
"it is good."
Following Madara Uchiha's instructions, Chiba landed on one of the Gedo Mazo's fingers, relieving some of the pressure on Madara.
call out!call out!call out!
The "attracting chakra" technique became more solid, and the power of the tailed beasts successfully entered the mouth of the Gedo Mazo.
After absorbing the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, the Gedo Mazo closed its mouth again, and its huge body slowly trembled as it began to synthesize the power of the Ten-Tails.
"Hmm~"
Soon, a purer and higher quality life force began to flow into Ban's body, and Ban couldn't help but groan in comfort.
"Senior Madara, let me heal you!"
Seeing this, Chiba's eyes lit up. He had gone to great lengths to collect the power of the tailed beasts, all for this moment!
Swish!
Chiba leaped down from the Gedo Mazo and landed beside Madara Uchiha, placing his hands on Madara's body to begin treating him.
zizizi~~
Chiba injected his chakra into Madara's body and manipulated the power of the Ten-Tails flowing from the Gedo Mazo to perform medical ninjutsu, stimulating the activity of Madara's cells.
Each time the Ten-Tails' power was manipulated to circulate within Madara's body, a fraction of the remaining power would be transferred to Madara's own body.
"That brat actually stole the power of the Ten-Tails 'right in front of me.' Hmph, whatever, I'll just consider it a favor I'm giving him."
Madara Uchiha glanced at Chiba, too lazy to break ties with him over the power of the Ten-Tails, since he still needed Chiba's help.
Madara Uchiha's physical condition was very poor. Even with the power of the Ten-Tails to repair it, it would undoubtedly be a huge undertaking to restore his decaying body to life.
