Amado had not come up with any particularly impressive new inventions for a long time. The villagers assumed that he had gained both fame and fortune, so he had decided to stop.
Who would have thought that, after several quiet years, he would unveil another new creation?

Torikaze was in a good mood, so he allowed Obito to join them.

Orochimaru and Hiruko stepped forward. The two had now become exceptionally outstanding scientists in Konoha, their status second only to Amado's.
