Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"If he knew you controlled the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he would kill you immediately."

"Remember, protect the Gedo Mazo. Only Madara-sama and the other executor can control it. You must not let Furukawa Osamu devour this power."

To make a lasting impression on Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha even showed the scene of himself being swallowed by the Rasenshuriken at the end:

"Do you see that? That's his power."

"He clearly had the ability to save you, to save everything you cared about, but in the end he chose to ignore your pain and secretly plotted to use my power."

"Your suffering, the suffering of the Konoha ninjas, all the suffering in the ninja world are caused by him."

“Furukawa Osamu is just like Senju Tobirama; he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Remember, this is his true nature. You need to proceed according to plan.”

"Now that you're in the shadows, you can kill him as soon as you see the right opportunity..."

Madara Uchiha's words left Obito bewildered; he hadn't expected that Osamu Furukawa was the "mastermind."

Recalling his time at the Ninja Academy, Obito clutched his forehead in anguish, realizing that everything in reality was indeed an illusion.

Having reached his physical limit, Madara Uchiha could only dispel the genjutsu. He slumped against the stone chair, panting heavily, relying entirely on his extraordinary willpower to persevere.

“Obito, I will continue to guide you in the application of Susanoo for the next period of time.”

"Once you can unleash the third stage of Susanoo, you won't have to worry about his Sage Mode."

"With these Mangekyou Sharingan, you are qualified to inherit my name!"

Painful memories resurfaced in his mind. Obito Uchiha recalled Rin and Kakashi's misfortunes, and his special chakra was secreted again, causing his eye power to deepen.

"Ah! Rin, Kakashi, you should have lived happily ever after!"

Madara Uchiha seemed to see through Obito's thoughts, a slight smile curving his lips, hidden by his long white hair. The kind-hearted Uchiha, once plunged into darkness, would unleash unprecedented power.

"Hashirama, did you see that?"

"Your will will soon dissipate. Let us meet again in the next world!"

Kakashi was very happy during this time. His father's advice helped him resolve his inner conflicts. He was no longer busy with missions and spent more time taking care of Rin Nohara. He found a new direction in his life.

During lunch break, at the dumpling shop, Might Guy noticed that Kakashi wanted to immediately issue a "Youth Challenge," but then he noticed that his opponent was holding onto Rin Nohara, and his spirits faltered.

"I feel like Kakashi has become a different person! A real man should train quietly..."

Kurenai Yuhi, sitting across the table, was being charmed by Kakashi and Guy's sweetness when she heard Might Guy complain. She immediately retorted irritably:

"What's wrong with being in a relationship, Kai? You'll never find a girlfriend if you keep going like this!"

Might Guy was speechless. Seeing Kakashi always with his partner made him feel a little uncomfortable. He ate the tricolor dumplings in large bites and turned to complain to Furukawa Osamu:

"Xiu, it seems that from now on, only we can have a youth showdown!"

"Recently, my father and I developed a secret technique that can perfectly counter water-style ninjutsu!"

Mitarashi Anko was happily eating dumplings when she heard Might Guy trying to take Furukawa Osamu away. She immediately puffed out her cheeks and loudly declared her ownership:

"Senior, you're going to cultivate with me!"

"Red Bean, don't be so willful. You should humbly learn from your seniors. Although Kai's clothes are a bit strange, he's very strong!"

Furukawa Osamu gently patted Ako's head, and the latter immediately blushed slightly and lowered her head, glancing sideways at Yuhi Kurenai. The girl secretly felt smug:

"Don't even think about getting close to your senior!"

"How's Uncle Dai doing lately? I haven't seen him in ages."

Upon hearing Furukawa Osamu's question, Might Guy immediately chuckled and gave himself a thumbs-up in response:

"With my help, Dad doesn't have to work so hard anymore. Now he spends most of his time studying secret techniques and occasionally accompanies me on missions!"

It's common for father-son duos to work together in Konoha. Might Guy and his son have become quite well-known among their clients in the past year due to their high mission completion rate.

"Master Xiu!"

"Is Lord Xiu having lunch here too?"

"Master Xiu, would you like to join us? We could listen to your guidance..."

The Jonin had just finished submitting their missions when they bumped into Osamu Furukawa in the tea town, and they all squeezed into the shop to greet him.

Everyone fondly remembers the days when Osamu Furukawa was the team leader, and Orochimaru would only shout "Charge!"...

Seeing that several familiar Chunin were also about to join in the fun, Furukawa Osamu had no choice but to get up, pay the bill, apologize to his classmates, and leave surrounded by the group.

"Phew, Xiu's here, Kai, don't you feel any pressure? Are you really that oblivious?"

Genma Shiranui leaned on the table, took a breath, and tilted his head to ask his companion a question. Might Guy stroked his chin, his thick eyebrows twitching, and replied seriously:

"Xiu has indeed become stronger. Only by opening the Gate of Shock might we have a chance to defeat him."

"As expected, my 'youth' wasn't enough. Damn it, how could Kakashi fall in love?"

Genma Shiranui, with a bamboo skewer in his mouth and dead fish eyes, finally understood why Might Guy could keep getting stronger; this guy probably only had youth and training on his mind.

In early February, under Orochimaru's relentless attacks, the Cloud Village ninja also developed a sense of war-weariness.

The morale of the two sides was not on the same level. Ever since the news of Furukawa Osamu killing the Mizukage spread, the Konoha ninjas were like they had been injected with chicken blood, and were full of enthusiasm for the war again.

As evening fell, Tsunade returned to the courtyard after a day's work. Thinking about Shizune and her recent conversations, her steps grew slower and slower.

"Teacher, are you too tired?"

"The war will be over soon, and things will definitely be much easier after you take office. I've talked to Shisui recently, and the Uchiha clan is preparing a gift for you."

As he spoke, Furukawa Osamu pulled Tsunade into the room.

"Repair...me..."

Tsunade stopped talking when she saw the respect in the eyes of the disciple who had accepted the coat.

Looking at the furniture and decorations in the room, and then at Furukawa Osamu in the kitchen talking about interesting things in the village, Tsunade felt a fleeting sense of guilt, and took a deep breath:

"I'm just overthinking things."

Chapter 122 Tobirama Senju's "Will"?

In mid-February of Konoha Year 50, Iwagakure announced that it would no longer send ninja troops to the front lines, and the local war officially came to an end at this moment.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was surprised that Onoki had made a decision so quickly. He initially wanted to praise him, but after seeing the relevant information, he could only sigh with his pipe in his mouth.

"What a face-saving old man!"

After the Five Kage Summit, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, completely broke with Onoki. Upon returning to the village, he didn't even stay in the valley anymore and decided to travel alone.

This decision shattered the war dreams of Onoki and some of the Iwagakure ninja. Everyone had been hoping that Roshi would be sent to restrain Minato Namikaze, but instead, their own Jinchuriki chose to leave.

Not only that, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, also had some complaints about the village, as the village had not properly implemented the compensation for the sacrificed ninja.

Iwagakure is facing economic problems and is on the verge of collapse. Even their assigned missions are being devoured by Konoha ninja.

In order not to affect the reputation and prestige of the Iwagakure ninja, Onoki did not mention "losing the war". Instead, he announced in a high-profile manner that Iwagakure had won the victory in the Land of Grass!

The withdrawal of the ninja forces was only because a peace agreement was signed at the Five Kage Summit; the Iwagakure ninja did this for the greater good.

While frontline battles have indeed disappeared, it is foreseeable that there will be more and more verbal battles between Iwagakure ninjas and Konoha ninjas in the future.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, redefined the "victorious nation," and the face-conscious old man managed to "win back a point" in the public opinion arena.

-

After the Konoha ninjas who withdrew from the front lines of the Land of Grass returned to the village, celebrations were held one after another. Without the interference of the Iwagakure ninjas, everyone could focus on processing the commissions from the Land of Wind.

In the next few years, as long as they are willing to work hard, their mission income will definitely increase, which makes the commoner ninja very satisfied.

The ninja clans in the village are also eager to expand their businesses. In the past, Sunagakure would not have allowed them to do business in the Land of Wind, but now that most of the market has been opened, the ninja clans are considering expanding their market operations.

Although the Land of Wind is barren, it has its own specialties, and even ordinary trade can be profitable.

In this atmosphere, the village's commercial street is even more bustling than before the war, and the number of customers in the commercial districts within the Land of Fire is also increasing, which makes the daimyo very satisfied.

Konoha Hospital recently received another grant, which, in addition to updating some equipment, will be used more for the cultivation of mother plants for mutated herbs.

The Three-Colored Pill played a significant role during the war, and the medicine proved its value through its actual performance!

Many ninja villages have come to purchase them. The village leaders are still discussing whether to open up sales, but Konoha has not imposed any restrictions on some low-end herbs.

...

In the intensive care unit, Osamu Furukawa routinely checked on the wounded, who volunteered to try the medication.

Will my emotions suddenly fluctuate drastically in the next three days?

"The new drug can theoretically improve your concentration. Unlike the Three-Colored Pill, which has a time-limited boost, this drug aims to allow ninjas to control their emotions."

"After examination, your aftereffects have begun to lessen."

The young Chunin who had overdosed on the Three-Colored Pill nodded repeatedly upon hearing these words. He hadn't experienced any more emotional breakdowns after having nightmares in the past week.

"I feel much better, Master Xiu!"

"It's really great that Lord Shu and the Fourth Hokage still remember us ordinary ninjas who experienced the war."

The square-faced young man shed tears as he spoke, describing those days when he would have emotional breakdowns in his dreams as a nightmare.

Furukawa Osamu nodded. This drug was originally developed for Uchiha Shisui, whose eye power was increasing at an increasingly rapid pace, and whose emotional fluctuations were becoming more and more intense.

Ultimately, the solution was to use medication to counteract the water stasis, and so far, it has been very effective, allowing me to maintain rational thinking most of the time.

"Rest assured and you will be discharged from the hospital in a week at most. If you recover quickly enough, you will be able to get rid of your dependence on this drug in a month at most."

The young chunin was moved to tears again upon hearing Furukawa Osamu's explanation; he was finally going to return to a normal life.

"Master Xiu..."

"I am truly grateful to Master Xiu for his treatment."

"Without Lord Xiu, I might have died on the battlefield long ago."

"Lord Xiu, please feel free to examine my body!"

Osamu Furukawa solemnly refused a married female ninja, showing great respect for those who volunteered to test the drug.

During his lunch break, when Furukawa returned to his office, he found Tsunade fast asleep again, sprawled on her documents. He could only approach her and gently remind her:

"Teacher, there's a meeting with the Uchiha clan this afternoon, so I can't sleep anymore."

After being nudged, Tsunade groggily woke up. Seeing Furukawa Osamu, she realized she had overslept and tried to appear nonchalant, quickly replying:

"I understand, Xiu, you can arrange it."

"I seem to be overexerting my body by practicing the Hundred Healings Seal lately, and I always feel drowsy!"

"The further you go, the more chakra you need. No wonder the Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest is so difficult to master. Normal chakra is enough to push me to my limit."

Recently, after training together every night, Tsunade's body has been extremely craving Sage Chakra. She has to control that feeling of dissatisfaction, which consumes a lot of her energy.

"It's okay, teacher. You can come to me anytime if you're not feeling well."

"Don't worry about my Sage Chakra."

Upon hearing Furukawa Osamu's response, Tsunade instinctively turned her head. She had avoided prolonged training precisely because she was worried about potential problems. Now, she changed the subject again:

"It was rare for work to be relatively quiet, but these past few days I've had to deal with trade issues again."

"Clan Chief Fugaku doesn't need to push himself so hard. I remember that the rate of Uchiha awakening their Sharingan has been rising in the last two years. It's really tough on him."

Furukawa Osamu nodded in agreement. Although he had taken a lot of medicine, Uchiha Fugaku had indeed lived up to the expectations of the Uchiha clan. The lives of the clan members were getting better and better, and the clan's strength was growing stronger.

"Teacher, work hard! I'll take care of dinner!"

Tsunade felt a little embarrassed thinking about how she was being taken care of by her disciple, but she didn't want to refuse, so she could only hum in a barely audible voice.

Watching Furukawa Osamu's departing figure and the specially made bento box on the table, Tsunade pushed aside her chaotic thoughts and began to enjoy the exquisite food, continuing to comfort herself:

"There's a copy for Jingyin too; Xiu didn't make it specifically for me."

In the afternoon, at the training grounds on the east side near the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Shisui practiced shuriken throwing while introducing the recent events of the clan meeting:

"Senior, some people in the clan seem to be worried about the Third Hokage's actions before he steps down."

"I don't know much about the previous turmoil. What exactly is Tobirama Senju's will?"

Furukawa Osamu was somewhat speechless. The Uchiha seemed to be overly sensitive; even at this point, they were still afraid of being "purged."
