Back home, after confirming that no one was watching, Uchiha Sho took out a scroll from the semi-heavenly Yin Release space.

"untie!"

With his hands on the scroll, Uchiha Sho let out a soft shout.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by a puff of white smoke, a corpse appeared on the scroll.

It was the corpse of the White Zetsu clone who was responsible for tracking Ichiraku Otsutsuki.

However, due to the effects of the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands and the Kusanagi Sword, the White Zetsu's corpse was torn to pieces.

The so-called "corpse" now looks like nothing more than clumps of white tissue.

Uchiha Eiji's three tomoe in his dark eyes spun rapidly and quickly connected, transforming his eyes into the blood-red, jade-like Mangekyou Sharingan.

In the vision of his Mangekyou Sharingan, even though the corpse of this White Zetsu clone had turned into clumps of white tissue, there were still traces of chakra remaining in front of it.

As expected of a product fused with first-generation cells, its vitality is truly astonishing!

Having confirmed that the White Zetsu clone contained what he wanted, Uchiha Eiji resealed it back into the scroll.

He put away the scroll, slowly walked out of the door, and the power of Yin Escape spread, distorting the surrounding space, and he disappeared from the spot.

It stands high in the sky like a ghost, overlooking the entire village of Konoha.

Right now, his top priority is to rebuild a laboratory and resource library that belongs to him as soon as possible.

Given safety concerns, the choice of this location is of paramount importance.

He carefully considered the layout of the village as he observed it.

The lab can't be too far from home; traveling back and forth is too much trouble.

The location also needs to be well hidden, at least enough to avoid detection by ordinary sensory ninjas.

With few suitable places available, he turned his attention to the forest outside the village.

Outside of Konoha Village, there are forests everywhere, but not all of these forests are unclaimed.

It was only after he took charge of the security department that he learned that the territories of the Nara, Inuzuka, and Aburame ninja clans were located near these forests.

The forests near their clan's territory were often fenced off as their respective clan's sphere of influence, used for things like cultivating herbs or raising ninja beasts and insects...

It's no wonder that ordinary ninjas couldn't compete with these clans' years of accumulated experience.

But that's normal!

Why should someone else's descendants be on the same starting line as you, given the efforts of several generations?

I wouldn't be able to accept it either.

The reason why the Chinese people were so fraught with tension in their past lives was largely due to this kind of family mentality.

Nobody wants their child to lose at the starting line!

He certainly wouldn't choose to locate the laboratory near the territory of these ninja clans, as that would make it easy to be discovered.

But now, where around Konoha is there still a place that hasn't been fenced off?

Uchiha Eboshi's gaze swept over the forest above the village, finally settling on the "Forest of Death" located in a corner of the village.

His eyes lit up immediately.

The "Forest of Death" does not belong to any ninja clan; it is the village's ninja training ground.

Back then, he, Mighty Mountain, and Hinata Rin frequently went there to "mooch" off others. Their healthy development wouldn't have been possible without the "friendly sponsorship" of the Death Forest.

In the Forest of Death, it is usually genin and chunin who are active, and jonin almost never go there.

If the laboratory is placed inside, the possibility of exposure is not high, provided the location is properly arranged.

Suddenly, he realized that his thinking hadn't quite shifted yet.

Who is he now? The Konoha Police Chief.

They could simply let the Security Department use the guise of training to set up a few plots of land there and directly assign Security Department ninjas to guard them.

Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed on the pretext of trying to steal Konoha's secrets.

Learn from Danzo, become Danzo, and transcend Danzo!

I love it when someone uses their position for personal gain!

Konoha's new "roots"—the Security Department, that's what I'm talking about.

Chapter 65, Crossing the River by Feeling Danzo

The more Uchiha Xiang thought about it, the more promising it seemed.

I'm sorry, Danzo!

It felt so good to cross the river by touching Danzo!

I'm sorry, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Since you can tolerate Danzo, I believe you wouldn't mind tolerating another guard unit as well.

He smiled and decided to investigate in person immediately.

Upon arriving at the Forest of Death, he activated his Sharingan and surveyed his surroundings.

Soon, his attention was focused on a small corner at the edge of the Death Forest, because that place could actually block the vision of his Sharingan.

I recalled the secret files of the Security Department, which seemed to be a node in the Konoha Barrier.

The entire village of Konoha is protected by a barrier, and because each node of the Konoha barrier is inscribed with a large number of barrier techniques, ordinary reconnaissance methods are interfered with to varying degrees there.

The barrier maintenance team, specifically the first shift, should be responsible for maintaining the barrier nodes in this area.

Recalling the records of the members of the first team in the barrier in the secret files.

Their class has one special jonin and three chunin, and there doesn't seem to be any sensory ninja among them.

As the head of Konoha's security force, Uchiha Sho has the right to access the files of all ordinary Jonin and Genin of Konoha.

After all, reaching the Jonin level means one has entered the upper-middle ranks of Konoha and is a pillar figure in the various clans.

At the time, Uchiha Sho only glanced at it casually, so he wasn't sure if any of the four members of Team 1 had hidden sensory talents.

However, what is his current status? He's the Minister of the Konoha Police Department.

After selecting several suitable locations in the Forest of Death, Uchiha Xiang used his authority as the head of the security department to learn about the situation of the barrier teams near those locations, avoiding the areas where several sensory ninjas were responsible.

Subsequently, the cautious Uchiha Sō arranged for Igaku to set up "training grounds" for the members of the security department in several areas he had designated.

The laboratory he ultimately chose was located right in one of these training grounds.

It was located in a dense forest in a corner of the "Death Forest," a very remote area that happened to be within the influence range of the barrier node.

This results in a certain degree of deviation in the perception of sensory ninjas when they approach this area within the village, as their perception is affected by the nearby barrier nodes.

Outside the village, the sensory abilities of sensory-type ninjas are directly blocked by the barrier.

The barrier team, in particular, does not have any sensory-type ninjas.

This place can be described as one of the many blind spots in the village's perception system.

Even if the Third Hokage suddenly felt like "understanding the people's conditions," he couldn't see clearly.

After selecting the location, Uchiha Sho did not delay and immediately began construction.

He personally selected a group of reserve junior ninja from the garrison and led them to several training areas in the Death Forest under the guise of practical combat assessment.

On the ground, the reserve genin of the Konoha Police Department were conducting assessments.

In secret, he left only a shadow clone in place to make the judgment.

The main body has arrived at a location more than ten meters underground in the selected area of ​​the laboratory.

His plan involved a massive amount of work on the laboratory.

It took Uchiha Sō and his shadow clones a whole week to barely complete the main framework of the laboratory.

The laboratory's ground entrance is located in a hole in the root of a towering tree.

It contains specially designed traps that will detonate explosive tags hidden inside if someone accidentally enters.

The ground entrance was completely destroyed.

The underground passage was also sealed with several hidden sealing techniques by Uchiha Sō.

Once someone breaks in, the sealing spell will be activated, and hundreds of explosive tags hidden throughout the underground tunnel will detonate simultaneously, destroying the entire tunnel.

After passing through the underground tunnel, you will reach the main part of the laboratory.

Uchiha Sho created a special shadow clone containing the Ten-Tails' chakra, and from then on, he was in charge of the laboratory's security.

And it can be used as a coordinate when a powerful enemy breaks in, to summon Uchiha Samurai.

In case Uchiha Zō is in a special condition, he is also responsible for taking away some important experimental subjects and destroying experimental traces.

Throughout the construction process, in order to maintain secrecy, Uchiha Sō personally used part of the Yin Release space that had been transformed into a cave heaven to transfer all the sand, gravel, and soil excavated from underground to a remote, desolate mountain.

Therefore, the ground above the laboratory remained completely unchanged, and even the person most familiar with the place would not notice anything amiss.

After completing the main construction of the laboratory, Uchiha Sō moved all the experimental equipment he had purchased at great expense into the laboratory.

Large medical laboratory benches, high-precision microscopes, large cell culture chambers, large nutrient tanks, large cold storage facilities, etc.

These were all specially ordered by him from the Land of Snow by Gaucho, and they became important "members" of his new laboratory.

After placing the instruments in their appropriate positions, Uchiha took out his notebook and began to write and draw.

"Tsk tsk, if it weren't for making a fortune during the Third Shinobi World War, I really wouldn't have been able to afford all these things. The total cost of all the instruments, big and small, was nearly three billion."

"Many thanks to the five great nations for their sponsorship!"

Scientific research has always been a major consumer activity; producing research results requires a significant investment of money.

This is true throughout history and across the world.

Otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't have needed to cooperate with Danzo.

Even if he were one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, he simply couldn't handle it.
