Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

I spent the whole afternoon drawing those lousy cards!

Are you selling sweet potatoes here at night?

Rinnegan, Rinnegan!!!

Have you forgotten the time you were brutally beaten by Hashirama Senju? The important matter of peace in the ninja world still awaits you!

Black Zetsu was internally roaring. Even though he sat atop the clouds, watching the turmoil of the ninja world for a thousand years, his mentality had already exploded. Black Zetsu really wanted to rush out and slap that old guy Uchiha Madara twice, so that he would hurry back to his underground cave and activate his Rinnegan.

He knew that Indra's descendants would become erratic once they awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but Black Zetsu didn't expect Madara Uchiha to be this erratic. Could he have gotten Alzheimer's from staying in the underground cave for so long?

No way.

Black Zetsu possessed a thousand years of experience and had seen more than one or two of Indra's reincarnations, but he still couldn't understand Madara Uchiha's current thoughts. Such a promising talent couldn't be ruined. After waiting for a thousand years, they finally found such a promising talent, a Uchiha who combined the traits of Indra and Ashura. He could be considered a once-in-a-millennium find.

What if Madara Uchiha wastes his time and really gets Alzheimer's? If he doesn't awaken the Rinnegan, then Black Zetsu will have to wait another thousand years. Mom, I miss you so much.

A child without a mother is like a blade of grass; it has been a blade of grass for a thousand years. When will it be able to become a treasure with a mother?

but! !! !!

There was nothing they could do but wait like this. Black Zetsu felt a deep sorrow in his heart. His body had not inherited his mother's powerful strength at all, and he could only hide in the dark and sunless shadows and try his best to guide Uchiha Madara.

But Black Zetsu did everything it was supposed to do. Everything was going perfectly. So why did Madara Uchiha suddenly go crazy? How could Madara Uchiha come to Konoha to sell sweet potatoes?

Black Zetsu fell into deep thought, his mind constantly muttering to himself.

"Sir, you'll have a place to stay after you close up shop, right?"

Ito Sousuke counted the roasted sweet potatoes in the oven; there were only a few left. He'd sold them faster than usual today. "The old man must have a place to stay, right?"

Yes, some...some.

Madara Uchiha sat on a small stool, eating a roasted sweet potato, and mumbled a reply to Sosuke Ito: "I just don't have money to stay in a hotel. Can't I sleep in the trees or in the open?"

"That's good"

Ito Sousuke was relieved. Now he could only provide Uchiha Madara with a few roasted sweet potatoes. He could go back to the dormitory provided by the school that night, or go back to stay with his mother. He couldn't let Uchiha Madara stay at either place.

Madara Uchiha sped up and finished the remaining roasted sweet potato in just a few bites.

"Kid, I'll draw the whole set of those cards."

Madara Uchiha was still resentful that he hadn't been able to successfully draw his card to show off, which greatly angered him. He was determined to regain his lost face!

"Forget it, old man. This gacha game isn't for poor people like us. If you don't have money, don't bother."

"I have money!!"

Madara Uchiha subconsciously touched his pocket and found he still had the same few coins. But this didn't stop Madara Uchiha from being stubborn. He said that mere material possessions were no problem for him. He could make millions of taels of silver whenever he wanted!

"Alright alright."

Seeing Madara Uchiha's stubbornness, Ito Sousuke gave up arguing with him. The old man was a stubborn and boastful person.

Evening

laboratory

That very night, Uchiha Nan sent a group of young men from the Uchiha clan to Senju Tobirama. The moment the young men saw Senju Tobirama, their eyes widened in astonishment.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, is still alive?

Has he been hiding within the Uchiha clan all along?

Uchiha Nan skillfully used an excuse to fool Orochimaru to persuade them.

Although they verbally believed it, their expressions betrayed their true feelings towards Tobirama Senju's attitude towards the Uchiha clan. How could they not know?

But the truth doesn't matter. Nobody cares that Uchiha Nan is now the Third Hokage of Konoha; as for the former Second Hokage, that's irrelevant!

Uchiha Nan instructed the Uchiha boys to keep this a secret, and to be on the safe side, he also placed the "Tongue Twister Seal" on them.

The reason for summoning the Uchiha clan members this time was for an experimental project that could benefit the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Uchiha Nan briefly explained the experiment with Hashirama cells to them. If the Uchiha clan obtained the powerful regenerative abilities and vast chakra of Hashirama cells, they could enhance the Sharingan's power and even use Hashirama Senju's Wood Release. Of course, this experiment was risky, and there was a slight possibility of death.

Then the Uchiha clan members collectively went wild. Could there really be such a good thing in the world?

Our Uchiha clan is going to steal the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju! As for the risks of the experiment mentioned by Uchiha Nan later on, they selectively ignored them.

That was the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, comparable to the power of Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan. An endless sea of ​​trees that blots out the sky, giants hundreds of meters tall. An unparalleled power!

So what if acquiring this level of power is a little life-threatening?

I don't care, I don't care. If he dies, so be it. The atmosphere within the Uchiha clan has always been one of respecting strength.

Several cunning Uchiha clan members secretly approached Uchiha Nan, the clan leader. Could the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, really be so kind?

Why not ask the Senju clan for such a good opportunity to help the Uchiha clan steal the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?

Is he being imprisoned here by the clan leader? The outside is heavily guarded by Uchiha clan members. So far, besides the Uchiha clan members, only that kid named Orochimaru has been able to get in.

It's hard not to make people misunderstand!

Cough cough cough. Why are you speaking such blunt truths!

Uchiha Nan flicked each of them on the head to shut them up. Didn't they see how ugly Senju Tobirama's face was? He was spitting on the ground with such a vile expression. His manners were extremely low. Orochimaru had to do the cleaning.

"These Uchiha are inherently evil!"

"Ah!"

Seeing the group of jubilant Uchiha, Tobirama Senju was annoyed. His elder brother's power was about to be stolen by the Uchiha clan. The Senju clan was the first to arrive, and many of them died. All the valuable experience and data they gained were going to benefit these Uchiha. It was so annoying... He really wanted to give them a big dose of medicine and send them to meet the Sage of Six Paths.

However, Tobirama Senju still maintained his rationality, and he registered the information of the Uchiha group with a displeased expression: height, weight, age, Sharingan tomoe, and chakra level.

Uchiha Nan wisely refrained from interfering with Tobirama Senju's work and went directly to Orochimaru, asking if he had learned the Summoning Jutsu, hoping against hope. Perhaps Orochimaru was also a chosen summoner of Ryuchi Cave, and he could just try his luck and summon back to Ryuchi Cave.

Orochimaru shook his head, but his gaze kept drifting towards the Uchiha clan, making Uchiha Nan a little uneasy. Surely Orochimaru wouldn't be interested in the Uchiha's body at this moment? "What are you looking at, Orochimaru?"

"That experiment should be very interesting; we can use the Hokage's clansmen as experimental subjects."

Orochimaru's eyes were filled with longing. What kind of experiment could possibly warrant such a fuss from the Hokage and the Second Hokage, even bringing in the Uchiha clan for experiments? He really wanted to do it himself.

Thank goodness, they just wanted to use the Uchiha clan for experiments. But wait, this won't do!

"Orochimaru, you should focus your attention on how to improve Konoha's productivity. These kinds of experiments are only accessible to that old man Tobirama Senju... uh... the Second Hokage... You're not at that level yet."

Uchiha Nan tried to teach him earnestly, but it was no use. Orochimaru's eyes kept glancing in that direction, so Uchiha Nan gave up, as long as Orochimaru didn't go too far.

Orochimaru never experienced war in his life, nor was he harmed by his vengeful disciple Nawaki. He was just an innocent child, only a little curious. Uchiha Nan didn't plan to let Orochimaru run around outside the village; he could just focus on his experiments every day. However, his ideological education never stopped.

"Orochimaru, you can't stay in this lab forever. You have to go to school every day. Even though you're very talented, you still have to go through the normal student growth process and build bonds with your comrades."

Uchiha Nan was really worried about Orochimaru and kept entrusting him to Tobirama Senju. Tobirama Senju must have fed Orochimaru quite a bit of his own ideas.

"No, Hokage-sama!"

"I've learned everything taught in school, but only here can I truly master it."

Orochimaru was struck dumb, pleading with Uchiha Nan to show mercy, but Uchiha Nan was adamant that he had to attend school on time and could come over every afternoon after school.

After graduation, I might live here permanently. Orochimaru could only nod helplessly.

Uchiha Nan then taught Orochimaru how to use the Summoning Jutsu, summoning Banji, a huge fat cat, from afar.

"What a fat, strong cat!"

Orochimaru used tactful language. Banji's current physique is indeed not flattering. He's very fat and very muscular. We can't let Banji lie around at home any longer!

"Uchiha Kunan, what are you doing! Ouch!"

"I was just enjoying petting it."

Manji was somewhat dissatisfied with Uchiha Nan's summoning, but Uchiha Nan ignored Manji's complaints and casually assigned him a weight loss task.

Manji raised its paws in protest. Its own summoning ninja had become Hokage, so why couldn't it, as the Hokage's summoning beast, enjoy some of the same pleasures?

However, the protest was ineffective!

"Have you memorized the seal?"

"Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei"

Orochimaru recited the five simple hand seals smoothly, but he still needed some practice to use them effectively.

"Lord Hokage, I am confident that I can perform the Summoning Jutsu tonight!"

Orochimaru spoke with great confidence. Tobirama Senju cared deeply for Orochimaru as his disciple, and disregarded Uchiha Nan's instruction to only teach Orochimaru productive scientific research. "I, Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage of Konoha, do I need your interference in teaching my disciple?"

Tobirama Senju taught him everything: ninjutsu, combat, and scientific research experiments.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction. The Summoning Jutsu is a ninjutsu that requires a certain level of skill from the ninja, including hand seals, chakra reserves, and chakra control. It involves space-time ninjutsu, which is quite rare in the entire ninja world.

Jiraiya, that lecherous brat, apparently trained for a long time in the original story, practicing hand seals while sitting on a treetop, and honing his chakra control by carrying large rocks along cliffs in an attempt to refine more chakra.

"When you go to school tomorrow, remember to bring that brat Jiraiya to my office after school, and remember to teach him this ninjutsu as well."

Orochimaru was still basking in the joy of being personally taught ninjutsu by the Hokage, but the next second his face fell. He had to go to school again tomorrow. How annoying!

"Hokage-sama Jiraiya, what do you want with him?"

Orochimaru asked Uchiha Nan with some curiosity, "What could Jiraiya, that guy whose mind is full of lewd thoughts, possibly have that the Hokage would value?"

"Him... he has quite a talent and is destined to become a strong person. Why ask you so many questions? Just bring him over when the time comes!"

"There are some things that a kid like you can't possibly have access to!"

After finishing speaking, Uchiha Nan gave Orochimaru's head a good pat, finding it quite nice to the touch. Having explained everything to Orochimaru, Uchiha Nan looked at Tobirama Senju, who was still busy at work.

Did Tobirama Senju sign the summoning scroll in Shikkotsu Forest? As Hashirama Senju's younger brother, summoning slugs should have been an easy task for Tobirama.

Whether you have dates or not, just shoot a couple of times!

You won't lose anything by giving it a try!

Following the spirit of "a thief...cough cough, the Hokage never leaves empty-handed," Uchiha Nan headed towards the busy Senju Tobirama.

"Tobirama, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Chapter 127 Tobirama Senju: Is there anyone who wants to stand up against me?

"What? Speak up if you have something to say!!"

Tobirama Senju was wearing a white coat and a mask, and his tone was very impatient. Although Tobirama Senju's face could not be seen, Uchiha Nan was sure that Tobirama Senju's expression must be terrible right now.
