Yakushi Kabuto

Shiyu knew that every village had its advantages. After military reforms, Iwagakure's military strength had become very strong, and the previous Iwagakure underground forces had given Shiyu a lot of headaches.

Now that Shiyu has his own village, he naturally wants to establish some elite troops as well.

If the underground gold exchange offices established throughout the entire Shinobi World are now the eyes and ears of the Twilight Organization, then the elite force that Shiyu is about to establish will be the Twilight Organization's right and left hands, and its most lethal force.

Such a force, if it only trains within the clan, will never grow to any significant size. Therefore Shiyu sincerely decided to build a ninja training base.

Shiyu looked at Masamune and said, "This training base will first have a large shuriken and Kunai throwing range, and also Explosive Tag throwing training. I hope Shisui and Itachi will be the instructors for these areas."

"Next, the training base also has an arena where all of you, whether you're high-ranking ninja or Genin, can compete in 1v1 and multi-vs-multi modes. This will greatly help improve your strength."

Shiyu then said, "I will also establish multiple training grounds and shelters in the Shinobi Village, and popularize some awareness and rules of prevention."

Shiyu's idea could be said to have considered every aspect, and even Masamune eventually nodded in admiration.

"Lord Shiyu, your considerations are indeed more comprehensive than mine, and I sincerely admire you." The establishment of the training ground would naturally benefit the village's development, and the conversation at the Konoha Military Police Force concluded there.

Next Shiyu went to the inspection department, whose head was naturally Gray Fang, also known as Hatake Sanyu.

"Lord Shiyu, you've arrived. I knew you'd be coming to patrol." As a member of the surveillance unit, Gray Fang naturally had the support of the Intelligence Department and already knew of Shiyu's arrival.

"Grey Fang teacher, it's been so long! I often think back to when you taught me swordsmanship." Shiyu also thought of the past as soon as they met.

"The past is the past. Now that you've become Shinobi Kage, no one in the entire Shinobi World can surpass you," Grey Fang said.

"What progress has the supervisory department made in the past few months?" It was essential for Shiyu to inquire about the work of his subordinates.

"Recently, a large number of wandering ninjas and missing-nin have entered our village. Our main task is to track, monitor, and screen them. Currently, more than 80% of the ninjas have passed our most basic screening, while the rest have been rejected due to issues with their character and abilities."

Shiyu nodded and said, "What you did is perfectly reasonable. After all, our village can't support useless people. Are there any strange movements from the original ninja?"

Gray Fang thought for a moment and then said, "Of course there are, but personally, I think the strangest person is Orochimaru from the science department. His behavior is very unusual and somewhat incomprehensible."

"If things are normal, he wouldn't be Orochimaru. After all, he's a scientific madman. Don't worry, I'll pay him a visit soon. I'm also curious to know what he's been up to lately," Shiyu said.

"That's great. I have a feeling Orochimaru has been plotting something lately." Gray Fang's reminder made Shiyu even more curious about Orochimaru.

Immediately afterward Shiyu arrived at the science department, and Orochimaru seemed to have anticipated Shiyu's arrival.

"You're here? I bet Grey Fang already told you about me, right?" Orochimaru smiled faintly, actually admitting it directly.

"That's right. Have you been acting strangely lately? Why? You need to explain yourself clearly," Shiyu said.

"Of course, there are two things that have happened recently," Orochimaru then said. "Come out."

Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from Orochimaru's science laboratory.

"Lord Shiyu! Lord Orochimaru!" said a young ninja with light-colored hair and round glasses.

"Is this child named Dou?" Shiyu asked with a smile.

"You're really amazing, as expected of Shiyu. I haven't even mentioned his name yet, and you already know it?" Orochimaru was also somewhat surprised.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Dou De's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Shiyu took in everything.

"Kabuto is a child I found in Konoha. He's a man with considerable espionage skills. He's recently made contact with a member of Akatsuki Organization," Orochimaru revealed his plan.

"Kabuto, is that so?" Shiyu asked Kabuto for his thoughts, and Kabuto replied calmly, "Yes, Lord Shiyu."

"Okay, Orochimaru, you did a good job on this. What's the other thing?" Shiyu asked again.

Orochimaru said, "Based on your suggestions, I've made some improvements to the Impure World Reincarnation, and now it's almost perfectly usable."

Shiyu praised with some surprise, "Not bad! Orochimaru! But being more than perfect isn't enough. I want absolute perfection, flawless. After all, this is crucial for the future war, and I will ensure that all departments of the Shinobi Village cooperate with you."

"Furthermore, before you begin research on Cursed Seal transformation, androids, and various Forbidden Jutsu, please submit an application to me promptly, and I will support you without reservation."

"You can continue your research, but I strongly oppose human experimentation. If it's discovered, I will make you disappear from this world," Shiyu warned.

"I understand. This will slow down the research considerably," Orochimaru said truthfully.

"For the sake of the village, for the sake of the Shinobi World, I can allow you to conduct experiments on monkeys and apes first. In the final step, I will also find some people who are about to die to voluntarily cooperate with your research." Shiyu is a person with a humanitarian spirit, but also has his own bottom line.

Then Shiyu looked at Kabuto and asked, "Kabuto, when do you plan to infiltrate Akatsuki?"

Kabuto replied, "Lord Shiyu, I'm available anytime. However, I'm just one of his subordinates. I pretended to be under his control to gradually gain his trust."

"I see. If I'm not mistaken, that person is the Scorpion of the Red Sand, right? I didn't expect that he actually managed to escape the Tengai Shinsei last time?" Shiyu smiled faintly.

Even though Kabuto appeared calm on the surface, he still wore a stunned expression.

"Lord Shiyu, do you possess the ability to foresee the future?"

Shiyu then shook his head and said, "No, you can think of it as me having the largest intelligence network in the entire Shinobi World. I know everything."

"Is this... is this real?" Kabuto was somewhat incredulous; the person before him seemed to possess even more terrifying strength and status than Orochimaru.

Shiyu smiled faintly and said, "Of course. For example, the orphanage, Yakushi Nonō, and what Orochimaru said to you."

"I know everything."
