Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 150 Uchiha Nan: Lady Mito, you don't want anything to happen to your son, do you?

A dark shadow fled frantically from underground. Black Zetsu ran at the fastest speed he had ever ever seen. He escaped from the laboratory to the outskirts of the Uchiha clan, and then fled Konoha. He finally stopped dozens of miles away from Konoha.

A viscous liquid seeped from the ground, gradually coalescing into a human shape. Black Zetsu was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the direction of Konoha.

That's terrifying!

I almost got trapped in the lab!

Black Zetsu hadn't experienced such a perilous situation in nearly a thousand years. His existence was unknown to anyone, and he possessed superb concealment skills, allowing him to evade the Sage of Six Paths. Yet, he almost met his end here.

Ultimately, he had been living a life of ease for too long. His vigilance had waned. Black Zetsu reflected in his heart, who could have imagined that a laboratory would have such a powerful sealing technique and sensory barrier set up?

But the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

Black Zetsu was very satisfied with the results of this reckless operation.

Madara Uchiha has a successor!

The Third Hokage of Konoha is secretly researching Hashirama's cells and seems to have made a breakthrough. According to intelligence, Uchiha Kusunoki has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and now his goal of obtaining Ashura's reincarnation's chakra is becoming increasingly clear—Uchiha Kusunoki wants to awaken the Rinnegan!

Uchiha Nan must have already seen that stone tablet in the Uchiha clan's territory. Will he carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan?

Black Zetsu pondered to himself, realizing that over the years, he had been following Madara Uchiha, neglecting to pay attention to the Uchiha clan, especially to the suddenly appearing Madara Uchiha. Madara didn't seem like Madara at all; Black Zetsu had watched him grow up, knowing his life experiences, personality, hobbies, and ideals intimately. Madara had matured step by step, becoming the person Black Zetsu had hoped for, only to grow up crooked, becoming even more treacherous than in his adolescence—heartbreaking!

Uchiha Nan remained hidden for sixteen years, only revealing his true potential after Tobirama Senju's death. Furthermore, Black Zetsu's attention was always focused on Uchiha Madara, and he was almost always by Madara's side before Madara's rebellious old age.

This resulted in Black Zetsu knowing absolutely nothing about Uchiha Nan.

Black Zetsu hates things that are beyond his control the most.

However, Madara Uchiha has become rebellious in his old age, spending his days doing odd jobs in factories and gambling in shops. He has completely forgotten about the Eye of the Moon plan. In order to rescue his mother, he must find a replacement to take over Madara Uchiha's job.

So far, it seems that there are no better options for the Uchiha clan besides Uchiha Nan, so Uchiha Nan can be listed as a candidate for observation.

After some thought, Black Zetsu decided that he could follow Uchiha Nan for the foreseeable future. He needed to fully understand everything about Uchiha Nan and then gradually guide him toward the Eye of the Moon plan.

Uchiha Tomita felt the new power within his body. This wonderful feeling was so intoxicating that his strength had finally made another qualitative leap!

The Uchiha's greatest strength is the Sharingan. Each advancement of the Sharingan will cause the Uchiha's strength to increase dramatically. However, the three-tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyou Sharingan are an insurmountable barrier, stopping the Uchiha from reaching level 9.99.

To successfully awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, one must endure the extreme pain of darkness—witnessing the death of one's closest loved one. This absurd method of awakening the Sharingan is sure to elicit much criticism, and each Uchiha's constitution is different.

When Obito Uchiha witnessed the tragic death of his lover, he transformed his Sharingan from the two-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan. When Sasuke Uchiha saw his parents killed and his entire clan slaughtered, he angrily awakened his single-tomoe Sharingan.

Tomita Uchiha has had his three-tomoe Sharingan for a long time, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will have a happy family and a fulfilling life. He has no chance of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. If he wants to further improve his strength, he can only train his chakra nature day after day and master stronger ninjutsu, but the upper limit is still not enough. Ultimately, he cannot compare to the Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Moreover, around the age of thirty, the rate at which a person's physical functions age will be faster than the rate at which you cultivate and become stronger. Once the peak period is over, all that remains is a gradual decline in strength.

But now, Uchiha Tomita feels that his body is full of the vitality of his youth.

"Hey, don't laugh like that in front of me. Hurry up and lie down on the lab table. I need to test your body data."

Just as Uchiha Tomita was about to laugh, Senju Tobirama interrupted the spellcasting, telling Uchiha Tomita to quickly lie down on the experimental table, as he needed to collect Uchiha Tomita's experimental data.

It's so annoying how the Uchiha clan goes crazy the moment they gain even a little power. Madara Uchiha was like that, Nanami Uchiha was like that, Tomita Uchiha was like that, and...

Tobirama Senju rattled off a string of names as if they were his own treasures.

This is a family tradition of the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Nan doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. If you're always smiling, good luck will naturally come. You Senju clan members don't smile, does that mean you don't like it?

Therefore, Uchiha Nan decisively retorted:

"The Uchiha clan still has something to laugh about, while the Senju clan still needs the Uchiha clan to laugh."

Tobirama Senju's expression immediately fell apart, turning into a stern face.

Silence is Cambridge at night.

Tobirama Senju rolled his eyes at Nanami Uchiha and stopped talking. Momoma Senju was such a wimp; Nanami Uchiha had caught him red-handed, and he had to swallow his pride. This really needed the Uchiha's help.

This time, I'll hold back for now. Tobirama Senju has almost no face left in front of Uchiha Nan, but it's not without its benefits.

Saving face is like a boulder falling down a hillside; the more you give it up, the more comfortable you feel.

I am a barbarian!

Of course, Uchiha Nan didn't want Tobirama Senju to evolve to this point; a tough, unyielding version of Tobirama Senju would be really hard to manipulate.

While Tobirama Senju silently measured Tomita Uchiha's physical data, Nan Uchiha took the initiative to start talking.

Uchiha Nan planned to raid Senju Momoma's laboratory tomorrow, but considering the need to minimize the impact, simply barging in seemed unlikely. The laboratory's defenses were undoubtedly very tight, and if Senju Momoma denied everything, things could escalate.

"Go to Mito for help; she can cover for you."

"Great idea!"

Uchiha Nan nodded. This was indeed a good idea. Uzumaki Mito had a high prestige in the Senju clan. When Senju Tobirama died, Uzumaki Mito could even temporarily issue orders within the Senju clan.

next day

Hokage's Office

Uchiha Nan sat in his office chair, working on a pile of documents on his desk. It was a tedious and boring job, but as the Hokage, it was unavoidable.

Uchiha Nan grumbled as he processed the documents. Soon, the office door was pushed open, revealing a head of brilliant red hair. Uzumaki Mito was so old, yet her hair was so well-maintained.

Mito Uzumaki didn't stand on ceremony at all, plopping down on the sofa and saying:

"Uchiha Kusunoki, what do you want with me?"

"I think you should call me—Lord Hokage."

At first, Mito Uzumaki did not realize the seriousness of the situation, but after seeing Uchiha Nan's serious expression, she immediately sat up from the sofa.

"Take a look at this document."

Uchiha Nan pulled a file folder from the drawer and handed it to Uzumaki Mito. Uzumaki Mito had a bad feeling and nervously accepted the file folder.

"Investigation Report on Momoma Senju's Restart of Hashirama Cell Experiments"

The top line of text made Mito Uzumaki frown.

Intercolumn cell experiment?

After reading all the investigation reports, Mito Uzumaki felt cold all over, her face was pale, and she sat on the sofa for a long time, unable to recover.

Human experiments using Hashirama's body... What exactly did Tobirama do behind my back all those years ago? And now his own son has started again?

"Mito, what do you think should be done about this?"

Uchiha Nan's voice snapped Uzumaki Mito out of her daze.

"Hokage-sama!"

Mito Uzumaki finally addressed Uchiha Kusunoki as "Hokage-sama" with genuine sincerity. Uchiha Kusunoki felt a surge of satisfaction, but still maintained a serious expression.

By using Momoma Senju's resumption of Hashirama's cell experiments, Uchiha Nan could only gain a verbal victory from Tobirama Senju, but from Mito Uzumaki, he could gain far more.

"Momoma acted impulsively in this matter."

Mito Uzumaki began to plead for Momoma Senju, her eyes misty with tears, her attitude sincere, and her tone humble.

"A moment of confusion? I don't think so. This was premeditated. The two patriarchs of the Senju clan secretly exhumed the remains of the first patriarch and conducted human experiments on him."

Uchiha Nan said in a serious tone, his inner joy reaching its peak, but he still restrained himself and did not utter that classic Cowboy's line.

"Madam, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your son, would you?"

Uchiha Nan felt that he was just a little lacking in morals, but not so unrestrained as to be.

"What's done is done, I don't want to hear about it, I need a solution."

"This incident has had a very bad impact!"

"So, Hokage-sama, what do you want?"

Mito Uzumaki regained some of her composure. Uchiha Nan had called her to his office alone to give her a heads-up, clearly indicating that he didn't want to escalate the situation. As long as things didn't escalate, there was still room for maneuver, and all that was needed was to pay a small price.

"I don't need much, just these few sheets of paper."

With a smile, Uchiha Nan drafted an agreement covering all aspects of the Senju clan, including their businesses, Konoha company shares, clan secret techniques, and marriage between the two clans. Uchiha Nan wanted to deeply bind the Senju and Uchiha clans together, perhaps so that in the future, the two clans could merge into one and call themselves Otsutsuki.

Of course, that's an artistic way of putting it. There's also a crueler version. Uchiha Nan wanted to turn the Senju clan into a vassal of the Uchiha clan, but such a large clan like the Senju couldn't be swallowed up in one go. It required patience and to eat them up little by little.

"I cannot agree to such harsh conditions!"

"You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

After reading the contents of the agreement, Mito Uzumaki's face showed anger. She knew that Uchiha Nan was not so kind and was full of bad intentions. If this agreement was signed, the Senju clan would be controlled by the Uchiha clan, and it would be almost impossible for them to break free in the future.

Moreover, Uchiha Nan has already secured his position as Hokage, and has managed Konoha to be thriving, a place full of vitality and flourishing life. Most importantly, Uchiha Nan is young, not even twenty years old yet. There is no rule about how old the Hokage must retire at; he can work until he dies.

Good people don't live long, but bad people live for a thousand years. Uchiha Nan was a really bad person.

Who knows how long Konoha will be under Uchiha Nan's control? Once this agreement is signed, the Senju clan will never have another chance to rise again.

"It's okay."

"It's just a pity that Senju Momoma will likely bear a bad reputation and be scorned by the entire Hidden Leaf Village, imprisoned in a dark and sunless dungeon."

"I heard that Momoma also received an injection of Hashirama-sama's cells, and now he's nearing the end of his life. It's pitiful that he can't even live a proper life in his remaining time."

"Perhaps by gathering all the power of Konoha, we can save Momoma Senju's life."

"Madam, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your son, would you?"

Uchiha Nan eventually revealed the root of all evil, but Uchiha Nan was a gentleman who had no interest in Uzumaki Mito, only in the entire Senju clan.

"you!!"

After being threatened by Uchiha Nan, Mito Uzumaki sat on the sofa, her throat choked with emotion, unable to speak. She pondered for a long time before finally making up her mind and looking at Uchiha Nan, she said:

"Can you guarantee you can cure Momoma Senju?"

My son's life is very important. Whether the Senju clan can turn things around in the future can be left to the wisdom of future generations.

"I can guarantee that all of Konoha's resources will be directed toward the Hashirama cell experiment, to unravel the secrets of the Hashirama cells and save Momoma Senju's life."

"Of course, if, unfortunately, it fails, I can guarantee that Momoma Senju will not be punished in any way, and the Hashirama cell experiment will be sealed away by me, and no one will know about it."

Uchiha Nan certainly couldn't guarantee whether he could save Senju Momoma's life. This matter was handled by Senju Tobirama, and although it was practically a done deal, he couldn't make a promise. However, Uchiha Nan could guarantee that Senju Momoma's reputation would be as pure and flawless as his own.

"I can sign, but I can't guarantee whether this agreement will be effective. After all, I am a woman from the Uzumaki clan who married into the Senju clan."

Mito Uzumaki harbored a secret plan, but Nan Uchiha didn't care. As long as Mito Uzumaki signed, he had a way to make the agreement effective.

"That's not your concern. I'll make sure this agreement goes into effect."

Uchiha Nan smiled and handed the pen to Uzumaki Mito, who reluctantly signed her name after taking the pen.

"Very good, Lady Mito, you have made a wise choice. The Senju clan will be grateful to you in the future."

Mito Uzumaki did not respond; her lips moved there.

But Uchiha Nan had a basic understanding of lip reading, and that despicable Uzumaki Mito had actually cursed him, saying, "May you have a son who will never have a penis!"

Believe it or not, I'll try to seduce Tsunade!

"You didn't have a son, your granddaughter did!"

Wait a minute! Wouldn't that lower my seniority by two levels?

This matter needs to be considered carefully; we can't just have everyone sticking to their own opinions.

Uchiha Nan's mind started to wander, but he quickly snapped out of it. After signing the unequal agreement between the Uchiha and Senju clans, he had to clean up Senju Momoma's mess.
