"There's no other information for now!"

"Is that so?"

Hanzo of the Salamander closed the intelligence report and was silent for a moment.

His aged body and shattered ambition made even the former "half-god of the Ninja World" start to fear newcomers.

Or perhaps...

No one was unafraid of those legendary eyes!

He worried that everything he currently possessed would shatter like foam, and that he, the "half-god of the Ninja World," would ultimately be killed by a child.

How ridiculous!

Therefore, the chaotic Land of Rain needed its "half-god of the Ninja World" the most, and he, the "half-god of the Ninja World," also needed the chaotic Land of Rain the most.

This was also why he had been watching from the sidelines for the past few years, ignoring the internal conflicts. As long as no other shinobi entered... he would be the "half-god of the Ninja World" of the Land of Rain.

After an unknown amount of time.

Hanzo of the Salamander raised his head, recalling a secret letter from some time ago.

When the time was right.

He would solve the Land of Rain's troubles for him, but those legendary eyes had to be handed over to him.

Actually, it didn't matter. What legendary eyes? For Hanzo of the Salamander now, such things were irrelevant.

He pondered for a moment, then looked up and said indifferently to his trusted subordinate beside him, "Have there been any messages from that side recently?"

"No! Leader!" A shinobi from the Hidden Rain Village shook his head, but after a moment of hesitation, he added, "It's just..."

"Just what?" Hanzo of the Salamander frowned unhappily.

"That..." The Hidden Rain shinobi hesitated, still unsure how to phrase it, but he still took out a bounty poster from his ninja bag and respectfully placed it on Hanzo of the Salamander's desk. He said, "This is a recent black market bounty poster. I heard... it's still going up."

"???"

Why was an old man being handed a bounty poster out of nowhere?

Hanzo of the Salamander was stunned for a moment and looked down at the bounty poster.

[Bounty]: Danzō Shimura [Strength]: xxx [Specialized Ninjutsu]: xxx [Evaluation]: This is an extremely powerful shinobi. [Bounty Amount]: 350 million Ryo (Ranked first on the bounty list)

Above was a portrait of Danzou with a stern face, arms crossed.

"..."

Hanzo of the Salamander's eyelids twitched.

He fell silent.

He was... quietly looking at the bounty poster on the desk.

After a series of checks, Uchiha Fuyou also put on his merchant clothes.

"Overuse of the Sharingan does indeed put a strain on the body," Kana said as she recorded the data. After a thorough examination, she stated seriously, "My chakra can also recover this part of the loss, but I don't know if it can recover in severe cases, so Lord Fuyou must also be careful."

"Understood!" Lord Fuyou said as he finished dressing, wiped his mouth, and nodded. "What about the evolution of the Sharingan?"

He couldn't possibly have thought of it the way he did at first, right?

If that were the case... would he have to raise a beloved friend, a sibling?

In fact, he deeply revered Lord Third and Lord Danzou, who silently guarded Konoha from the shadows.

Moreover, a large part of the Mangekyo's ability awakening was related to inner desires and beliefs.

Originally, his belief was to become the new god of the Ninja World, but after becoming wealthy... Uchiha Fuyou found himself losing direction.

He had no dreams.

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong, Lord Fuyou?" Kana looked at Uchiha Fuyou curiously, but seeing Fuyou's expression, which seemed fine, her soft, sweet voice held a hint of embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I haven't found a solution yet."

"It's fine."

If Plan A didn't work, he had Plan B!

Uchiha Fuyou said casually, then stretched his bones. "Every time I absorb Kana's chakra, I feel much more comfortable all over."

As he spoke, Kana nodded seriously. "This is also Kana's discovery."

Speaking of which, she took out a stack of waveform graphs.

"The unique chakra produced by the Sharingan seems to have merged with my own, making it no longer so cold. Of course... it felt like it vanished in an instant."

"..."

I don't understand.

But it's probably the fusion of Yin and Yang release chakra~

Thinking about how his energetic second nephew was still full of vigor after absorbing so much, Uchiha Fuyou didn't mind anymore.

It's just that if Hashirama could evolve Sasuke and Madara's eyes into Rinnegan, he wondered if Naruto could too?

Uchiha Fuyou did a quick check. "My body hasn't changed in any other way, but... I feel much more energetic."

As for that graph... he couldn't understand it at all. With the system on him, business profits were directly presented as results, simple and clear.

"Is that so?" Kana pondered for a moment, then smiled gently again. "Perhaps it's a good thing? I'll continue to research it."

"Thank you for your trouble."

"No, Kana is more grateful to Lord Fuyou."

At that time.

It was thanks to Fuyou that she was able to come here and see her clansmen.

Kana seemed to recall something and frowned. "Nagato's Rinnegan is somewhat similar to the Sharingan. I wonder what the legendary final evolution of the Sharingan – the Mangekyo – is like."

"..."

It's a single system.

For example, Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki all share the same ancestor.

Of course, Fuyou didn't explain.

After Kana gently drew some blood and collected tissue samples, the two returned upstairs.

At this moment.

Yahiko was the only one in the house.

Nagato had already gone out to dig tunnels, and Konan... had gone to make Explosive Tags.

What diligent young people~

He asked Yahiko, who was seriously handling affairs.

Yahiko was startled, looked up, and frowned. "Rest time? Rest when you're tired or when it's dark. As for holidays, there are none, because there are too many things to deal with, and we're short-handed."

Due to war and climate, the Land of Rain already had few people, let alone shinobi.

Furthermore, they currently occupied such a small area, so there were even fewer people. Of course, the future was bright; he, Yahiko, always believed that.

Seeing Fuyou suddenly clutching his chest, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Brother Fuyou?"

"Nothing~"

It was just a sudden twinge of conscience.

His conscience was still intact!

He wasn't a qualified capitalist yet.

Uchiha Fuyou sighed with emotion. "Thanks to you, Yahiko!"

"No! It's thanks to Brother Fuyou's guidance!"

"I've only done some insignificant things."

Just made a little bit of money.

Uchiha Fuyou pondered for a moment. "War is coming. Although it's only small-scale warfare now, it will become more intense in the future. So, Yahiko, you need to prepare defenses. Don't go out if you don't have to. Let's just lay low."

"War, huh~" Yahiko sighed with emotion, as if recalling something, a hint of sadness appearing in his eyes. "Another war sweeping across the entire Ninja World?"

"Mm."

"...Nagato, Konan, and I will protect this place." Yahiko was startled and nodded seriously. "Brother Fuyou, please rest assured!"

"Protecting yourself is most important," Fuyou said, patting Yahiko's shoulder. "Accumulate some Explosive Tags during this time. Also, if you can buy them outside, buy them! If you don't have to fight, don't fight. Just use Explosive Tags to bombard them!"

"Like this... Brother Fuyou, that's a huge loss!" What shinobi fought like that?

However.

Fuyou, being wealthy and overbearing, patted Yahiko's shoulder. "It's okay, spend it freely!"

Don't worry, the chain yakiniku restaurant is about to launch!
