Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 148 Tobirama Senju: Lord Uchiha Kusunoki, there are too many people here, let's go to the inner room to talk!

After about half a month of hard work, Uchiha Tomita led his ANBU members to work overtime to investigate the Senju clan.

The vanished prisoners in the death row, the ninjas captured by the enemy village, the large-scale research equipment purchased, the essential experimental materials, and the accountant who helped Senju Momoma falsify accounts.

These clues, left behind, were thoroughly investigated by the Anbu, leaving nothing to hide. After confirming the identity of a high-ranking Senju member who knew the truth, Uchiha Tomita secretly led a team to arrest him and throw him into the Anbu's dungeon.

Incidentally, mental illusions are exceptionally useful for extracting information through torture, especially when enhanced by the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. The Senju high-ranking officials, who were determined to take responsibility for Senju Momoma, quickly sold him out completely.

Even the location of the secret laboratory that Tobirama Senju left behind within the Senju clan has been determined.

Uchiha Nan looked at the series of evidence in his hand, as well as the signed and sealed testimonies. It was a pity that there were no physical evidences. The experimental subjects that had turned into trees had been burned to ashes, but that was enough.

It's time to tell Tobirama Senju about this surprise!

Uchiha Clan Land

Uchiha Tomita followed Uchiha Nan to the entrance of the laboratory. This place had long been designated as a forbidden area by Uchiha Nan, and no one was allowed to enter except for authorized personnel. Uchiha clansmen were patrolling and guarding the area.

I'm getting a little excited about meeting the second generation soon!

With mixed feelings, Uchiha Tomita followed Uchiha Nan into the laboratory. Once inside, all he could see were Senju Tobirama!

My God!

The entire basement was very large, with dozens of Tobirama Senju conducting scientific research on different experimental tables.

Inside the outermost laboratory, sparks flew from welding and engines roared. An unknown, dark yellow solution was poured into a green solution from a test tube, and with a bang, an explosion occurred. The test tube shattered, and one clone vanished as smoke, while another clone immediately took over.

Uchiha Kusunoki assigned Tobirama Senju a wide variety of research tasks, some of which were particularly dangerous. For example, there was the experiment on specially made gunpowder, which involved saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, and a little sugar. Such experiments could only be conducted in a laboratory with special sealing techniques.

Uchiha Tomita stared blankly at the scene in the laboratory. Uchiha Nan, however, was already used to it and led Uchiha Tomita directly to a room further inside. As soon as they closed the door, the noise outside immediately disappeared; the soundproofing here was excellent.

Inside, there are also more than a dozen Tobirama Senju working on experimental projects in the laboratory.

"Lord Tobirama used the Shadow Clone Technique to create so many clones, but once the technique is dispelled, all the fatigue will return to his original body."

Uchiha Tomita was amazed by the number of clones Tobirama Senju could create. If he dared to abuse the clone technique like that, his body would be ruined in just a few days.

"It's alright. Tobirama is already dead. Don't worry about his body. Even if it's shattered, it will recover."

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique is truly magnificent!"

"Tobirama Senju was a genius, a great man!"

Uchiha Nan spared no effort in praising the ninjutsu invented by Senju Tobirama—the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Yeah yeah"

"The Hokage is truly insightful!"

Uchiha Tomita was secretly delighted. He had heard of the forbidden technique, Edo Tensei. Tobirama Senju had used this technique during the First Shinobi World War, which allowed him to manipulate Edo Tensei ninjas and stuff them with explosive tags to make them suicide trucks.

This forbidden technique desecrates the souls of the dead; truly, karma prevails, and Tobirama Senju himself has suffered the consequences.

Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita exchanged a knowing glance, then burst into laughter.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you laughing at, Uchiha Nan?!"

Tobirama Senju's true form emerged. Although he didn't know why Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita were suddenly laughing, he instinctively sensed that they were mocking him.

"Oh, and Uchiha Tomita too, what brings you here?"

"Second Generation Lord, it's been a long time!"

Uchiha Tomita saw Tobirama Senju walking over and politely greeted him.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Tobirama Senju responded reluctantly.

Uchiha Tomita is here too, so annoying.

Damn it!

I think I know what those two inherently evil Uchiha were laughing about just now.

I really want to punch those two bastards to death!

Tobirama Senju looked displeased and turned to look at Uchiha Nan:

"Uchiha Kusunoki, you haven't come over for the past two weeks. What brings you here today?"

"And the Hashirama cell solution, when exactly will the Senju clan be able to use it? If you keep avoiding me and drag this out, I'm really going to go on strike."

Tobirama Senju's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his tone revealing a threat: if Uchiha Nan dared to utter a single "no" today, he would immediately quit.

A strike is necessary!

Let's teach that bastard Uchiha Nan a lesson!

They even dared to bring Uchiha Tomita along to mock me!

A petty person has gained power!

Oh. The Second Hokage, who was once so arrogant, said the most defiant and threatening thing: strike?

Uchiha Tomita suddenly felt that this world was so absurd!

"Pfft!"

Uchiha Tomita couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Excuse me, Tobirama-sama. I just remembered something that makes me happy. Um, we made red bean soup at home today, and it tasted really good!"

"Don't think that just because you're Uchiha Nan's lackey now, I can't handle you!!"

This clumsy excuse obviously wouldn't convince Tobirama Senju. That evil Uchiha Tomita must be secretly laughing at himself, thinking, "If I can't beat Uchiha Nan, I can at least beat you, Uchiha Tomita."

Tobirama Senju's hands were already forming hand seals without his even realizing it!

"Alright, alright, don't be so rude. Tomita didn't mean it. I've tried his red bean soup, and it really is delicious. It makes you smile involuntarily."

"Yes, yes, Tobirama-sama, I really didn't laugh at you. Um... the red bean soup was really delicious."

"Fine!! Let's put this matter aside for now. You need to give me an explanation for the intercolumnar cell solution!"

Tobirama Senju barely suppressed his anger; that bastard Uchiha Nan was clearly on Tomita Uchiha's side.

I'm facing two opponents alone, which puts me at a disadvantage, so I'll hold back for now!

"I have come up with a perfect solution that can both conceal the underground laboratory and allow the Hashirama cell solution to appear in Konoha under a plausible pretext."

"I've been busy with this lately."

"Oh? Is that so?"

What was the perfect reason that Tobirama Senju was half-convinced?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

According to his plan, revealing Hashirama's cell solution in Konoha would inevitably lead to the discovery that his elder brother's body had been used by the Uchiha clan for human experimentation, thus stealing the power belonging to the Senju clan.

The Senju clan, having learned all this, will certainly not let it go and will definitely dig deeper into the matter.

Perhaps this opportunity will allow the Senju clan to become aware of their existence!

Your Second Hokage is being imprisoned by the evil Uchiha clan!

"Of course!"

"Tomita, show the information you've gathered to our Lord Tobirama."

"Yes, Hokage!"

Uchiha Tomita pulled out a file folder containing evidence of Senju Momoma's ability to reactivate Hashirama's cells.

"What is this?"

Tobirama Senju took the file bag, opened it, and began to read it carefully. At first, he didn't think much of it, but the more he read, the uglier his expression became.

broken!

The Senju clan's house has been robbed!

In Konoha, no one knew the terrifying corrosiveness of Hashirama cells better than Tobirama Senju. Without the Uchiha's power to suppress it, it would have been impossible for the Hashirama cell experiment to succeed.

"Tobirama, we're really lucky. Momoma Senju has given us a perfect excuse."

Before Tobirama Senju could even finish reading the evidence, Nan Uchiha couldn't wait to speak, his tone mocking, which made Tobirama Senju's face turn bright red.

"The Hashirama cell experiment is far too dangerous. I completely sealed it away within the Senju clan. How could Momoma be so foolish and delusional as to restart it!"

"What an idiot!"

Senju Tobirama was immediately enraged and began to curse and swear, furious at Momoma Senju's lack of ambition. He kept belittling Momoma Senju in his words.

Concern can cloud judgment; after all, this experiment could kill many people.

"That's because Hashirama Senju's aura is too bright. As the son of the god of shinobi, he has been the object of your high hopes since childhood."

"The entire Senju clan—no, you could say the entire Hidden Leaf Village—is hoping that Momoma Senju will inherit Hashirama Senju's power and become the second God of Shinobi."

"But unfortunately, Senju Momoma did not inherit the First Hokage's power. He did not inherit any of the vast amount of chakra or the Wood Release abilities."

"He's probably not had a good time these past few years."

Uchiha Nan could understand the pressure Senju Momoma was under. Bearing the expectations of the entire Senju clan, yet failing to grow into the Senju clan's ideal, one can only imagine the sense of frustration he felt.

"That child..."

Tobirama Senju sighed deeply. Uchiha Nan was right. It was indeed impossible to place all the blame on Momoma Senju.

To become stronger, Momoma Senju trained diligently, hoping to fulfill the expectations of the entire Senju clan. Tobirama Senju witnessed all of this.

But lack of strength is simply lack of strength. The eldest brother is no ordinary person; he is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Did Momoma get injected with Hashirama cells?"

Tobirama Senju was eager to know about Momoma Senju's condition.

"He received the injection, and now he's experiencing side effects in one hand."

"What?!"

Tobirama Senju clutched his head, groaning, "This brat Momoma is such a handful!"

"Alright, stop being sad and think positively. The thing you've always wanted to do—to let the Senju clan also enjoy Hashirama's cell solution—is now a reality."

"Now that we have a suitable scapegoat, the Hashirama cell solution can naturally appear in Konoha."

"What do you mean by that?"

Tobirama Senju's sharp eyes were fixed on Uchiha Nan. He knew that Uchiha Nan was up to no good. He had just been pretending to speak well of Momoma Senju, but now he was stabbing him in the back!

"Momoma Senju. Using the remains of the First Hokage, she began forbidden human experiments."

"The experiment ultimately failed, and the Senju clan suffered heavy losses, with even the Senju clan member nearing death."

"The great Third Hokage... cough cough, that's me, I discovered all of this in time!"

"For the safety of Konoha, he took over all the experiments and, under the Hokage's guidance, successfully developed a mature Hashirama cell solution, incidentally saving Momoma Senju from imminent death."

A perfect script, of course, there are alternative scripts. The one who takes the blame is not necessarily Senju Momoka.

There are bad guys in the Senju clan!

This is all because of the manipulation of bad people. Senju Momoma knew nothing; he was unaware of the situation and was even a victim himself!

As for who the bad guys are, that's up to Uchiha Nan to decide. He can take this opportunity to deal with all the unstable members of the Senju clan.

Intercolumn cell solution can also effectively soothe the Thousand Hands Clan!

Even Momoma Senju had to be grateful to him; Momoma's survival was all thanks to him.

Oh, right, I almost forgot!

And there's Mito Uzumaki!

I saved her son, so I can use this to manipulate Mito Uzumaki and make her work for me for free!

That's killing four birds with one stone!

"You're talking nonsense!!"

"You want to pin all the blame on Senju Momoma!"

"I disagree!!"

With reddened eyes, Tobirama Senju shouted at the top of his lungs, completely disagreeing with Uchiha Nan's "perfect script."

"Tobirama, everything I wrote in the script is true. Tell me, is there any part that isn't true?"

Uchiha Nan chuckled and asked Senju Tobirama a question in return.

Are you even clean yourself?

"The filth you've done not only desecrated my and my brother's graves, but you also had access to the Hashirama cell experiments before Momoma did!"

"Everything I did was for Konoha, and since it wasn't discovered, it's as if I didn't do it at all!"

"You've probably forgotten that the first person to initiate the Hashirama cell experiments was none other than you, the Second Hokage—Tobirama Senju!"

Uchiha Nan revealed a disdainful smile, decisively taking up the banner of "everything for Konoha" and since nothing he had done had been discovered, how could it be taken seriously!

And another thing! Tobirama Senju, you're no better than anyone else; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you the culprit!

"Stop rambling on!"

Tobirama Senju promptly stopped the conversation.

Damn it!

It's definitely not acceptable to put the blame on yourself!

"I don't care what happens, Momoma can't be made to take the blame!"

Senju Momoma is the eldest brother's son. Even if he has done something wrong, I, as his elder, should help him up. I can't just stand by and watch Uchiha Nan—that naturally evil Uchiha brat—put a load of crap on Senju Momoma's head.

"I definitely can't memorize it!"

Uchiha Nan shrugged, indicating that he shouldn't be the one to take the blame.

"There must be a traitor in the Senju clan! He instigated Momoma to do this!"

Senju Tobirama, his mind churning with malice, quickly came up with Uchiha Nan's alternative plan.

"Hiss, Tobirama! You're asking me to frame an innocent person! As the Hokage, I possess high moral standards, and they forbid me from doing such a thing!"

"This is a difficult situation!"

Uchiha Nan looked embarrassed.
