It turns out to be someone from the Uchiha Clan?
The old man slowly raised his head and spoke dissatisfiedly with a hoarse voice like sandpaper, "White Zetsu, is this the person you brought? What's the use of him?"
White Zetsu immediately changed back to his white form and stepped forward with a smile, "Lord Madara, this person's name is Hiruko. He is developing a very interesting technique, I think it will definitely be helpful to your plan.
In the future, maybe we can let him deal with that Uchiha Sen."
"Madara? Madara Uchiha?!"
Hiruko was shocked. This name that only existed in legends made his breathing stop for a moment.
White Zetsu continued to confuse, "His Chimera Technique is very interesting. Once developed, it can theoretically seize other people's Kekkei Genkai.
Isn't this very similar to your ability? When the time comes, prepare more powerful materials for him, and the success rate of assassinating Uchiha Sen will be much higher."
Seeing that Madara Uchiha had no objection, White Zetsu turned to Hiruko and said, "Lord Madara will help you complete that technique. In return, you will witness the birth of a dreamlike world, a perfect world without any disputes and pain!"
"Not interested." Hiruko interrupted him coldly, with fanatical and paranoid eyes, "I just want to complete my technique!
Then, trample those so-called geniuses underfoot one by one! I'm fed up with their indifferent looks!"
Madara Uchiha didn't even look at him, but waved his hand impatiently and said casually, "Try it with Hashirama Cells and see what you can learn. It's a pity that it's not a member of Uchiha's tribe - but there are enough chess pieces, so it's not enough to make this move."
After receiving permission, White Zetsu immediately excitedly took Hiruko towards the deep laboratory.
He didn't notice at all that in Hiruko's lowered eyes, there was a flash of resentment and hatred that was exactly the same as jealousy towards geniuses.
It's this look again - it's this condescending, disregarding look again! Just wait, when my technique is completed, you, a dying old man, will also become my collection!
It has been more than a month since I started fighting against Konoha High Command.
During this period, Sen made drastic changes to the tribe's territory, not only introducing new water sources, but even following Konoha Hospital's example, establishing a dedicated medical department for the Uchiha Clan.
He knew very well that if civil strife broke out again, medical care and logistics would be the key to victory or defeat. The village could no longer control its lifeline.
On this day, Sen was playing with Uchiha Hikari in the countryside. A Anbu was brought to him under the surveillance of other tribesmen.
Sen waved his hand and signaled the tribesmen to step back. "Okay, I'm just a messenger, there's no need to be so nervous.
Tell me what's going on."
The Anbu Ninja quietly breathed a sigh of relief under the mask and said in a deep voice, "Master Sen. Since the war is completely over, Land of Water sent an envoy to discuss post-war compensation matters."
Sen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Compensation? Shouldn't this matter be brought to Hokage? Third is finally dead, do you need me to take charge of the overall situation?"
One sentence almost caused Anbu to choke and suffer internal injuries.
He calmed down and then said with difficulty, "The other party----name me, wants to see you. Lord Hokage, I can't refuse."
"Captain, this must be a scam!" the guard next to him immediately warned vigilantly.
Sen also had a doubt in his heart.
It stands to reason that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not dead yet, so it is not his turn to come forward in such a diplomatic situation.
Could it be that the fact that he fell out with Hokage has spread to other ninja villages?
"When will we meet?"
"Two days later, in the Hokage office building."
Sen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thought instantly formed in his mind, "In such a hurry? It seems that you really can't shirk it, so you came to me. See you, yes. But the location has to be decided by us."
"This——"Anbu Ninja's brows under the mask frowned tightly. This was no longer a tone of discussion, but an unquestionable order.
"I---- can only tell Lord Hokage truthfully."
"Go ahead. Tell him to meet you at our station."
Watching Anbu leave, Uchiha Hikaru immediately stepped forward and said eagerly, "Sir Sen, this is probably Sarutobi Hiruzen's poisonous plan! There is no need for us to contact them!
According to intelligence, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito also has little time left, and this is likely to be their final counterattack!"
"Yes, Captain, now we should put stability first and caution first!" Other guards also persuaded.
"Okay, I have an idea."
Sen waved his hand, ignored everyone's dissuasion, and took a big step towards the outside of the station. "I will go to the village and see the situation for myself."
Seeing that they could no longer persuade them, everyone could only look at each other, disperse silently, and follow in the dark for protection.
Walking on the streets of Konoha, Sen can clearly feel that the atmosphere of the village has changed.
When many ninjas saw him, they had complex emotions in their eyes, including awe, envy, and unconcealable fear.
After all, this is a man who dared to challenge even Hokage head-on, and eventually forced him to retreat.
During this period, naturally many neutral ninjas came forward to say hello and respectfully called "Captain Sen".
Preserving oneself wisely in the struggle between giants is the survival rule of most ninjas.
Sen did not pretend to be aloof. He nodded to everyone who said hello and continued walking in the village.
Unknowingly, he found himself parked in front of the gate of a slightly depressed mansion named Hatake clan.
Thinking of Hatake Sakumo, whom he had not seen for a long time, his heart moved and he walked straight in.
The imagined interrogation and obstruction did not happen. Sen looked around and found that the residence of Hatake clan was completely different from the prosperous Uchiha Clan Compound today.
The streets were a bit rundown, and most of the tribesmen didn't even recognize him as a man of great influence.
The shops on both sides were empty, the vendors were drinking weakly, there were only a few pedestrians, and the atmosphere was deserted.
Sen asked passers-by for directions and soon arrived at the door of Hatake Sakumo's house.
"Dong dong."
When Hatake Sakumo saw Sen outside the door, he frowned at first. Then he glanced at the looming Uchiha guard in the distance and Anbu further away, and his brows twisted into a "Sichuan" shape.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Sen, Sen, why is it you again? Last time you came to the stronghold, we ran into Tailed Beast's rampage;
Once you come this time, when you leave, Anbu will probably have to hold me for questioning for a long time."
Sen also laughed when he heard this, "Senior Sakumo, do you think you don't welcome me?"
"You kid----" Sakumo rolled his eyes at him angrily, but turned sideways to welcome him in.
Sakumo's home is not big, but it is well organized and spotless, very much in the style of himself and his son Kakashi.
As soon as he entered the door, Sen saw that little silver-white figure.
Sen took a closer look and found that Kakashi, only two years old, could already read simple picture stories.
Although the story in the picture is not complicated, it is generally viewed by children aged four or five.
"Kakashi, you can read at such a young age? What a little genius."
Kakashi turned around and looked at Sen curiously with his big black eyes. When he saw the serious look from his father, he obediently uttered a few words in a sweet voice. "Senior----good."
At this time, Sen was really shocked. He pointed at Kakashi and sighed to Sakumo, "Is he so sensible at this age? He also takes the initiative to say hello?"
Seeing Sakumo nodding, Sen squatted down with interest, looked at little Kakashi, and asked softly, "Little Kakashi, are you learning these things at such a young age because you want to be a great ninja in the future?"
Kakashi nodded, but still couldn't speak clearly, "Mom----I want medical expenses. I----I want to be a powerful----
The killer!"
Sen chuckled, "I am a ninja, not a killer!"
"Cut."
Kakashi Don't turn your head and continue reading, "Don't disturb me—interrupt my study!"
