Uchiha Nan: Tobirama Senju, How Could I Possibly Be Prejudiced Against the Uchiha?

I can't think about it anymore. Thinking about such terrifying things so late at night will probably give me nightmares. Back then Uchiha Nan was transported alone to the world of Hokage, a world with an extremely high mortality rate. He started with the classic story of losing both his parents, began carrying out missions at the age of six or seven, and killed someone for the first time a few months after starting his mission.

During the battle, warm drops of blood suddenly splattered on his face. The dying man's eyes finally lost their light, filled with resentment and despair in that instant. Uchiha Nan still can't forget that scene.

Even though the situation is bad now, it's still much better than when I first transmigrated here.

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it.

Distracted by the system task, Uchiha Nan lost interest in strolling the streets with Chiyo and returned directly to the Uchiha clan compound after saying goodbye to Chiyo.

Tobirama, your beloved Third Hokage is back!

Upon returning to the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Nan immediately went to the underground laboratory to visit Tobirama Senju, wanting to learn about the latest progress of Tobirama Senju's experiments, such as the Hashirama Cells experiment that Uchiha Nan had been paying close attention to.

Since Madara Uchiha might be coming to Konoha, Uchiha Nan needs to prepare early and strengthen his own power as much as possible, just in case. In case a battle breaks out, he might have a chance to escape—or rather, a strategic retreat.

"Lord Hokage... cough"

Upon entering the laboratory, Orochimaru greeted him with a deathly expression.

He truly looked like he was about to die, his complexion ashen, with dark circles under his eyes so thick they were frightening, yet his spirits were unusually high. Uchiha Nan was immensely gratified.

The problem is that Orochimaru works so hard that he dies young before he's fully developed, which would be a huge loss.

"Orochimaru, have you been skipping meals again lately? Have you been pulling all-nighters a few times? You need to go to bed on time."

Uchiha Nan kept nagging like an old woman.

"Don't worry, Lord Hokage. The Second Hokage specially prepared a nutritional supplement for me that can completely replace my daily meals. Eating is such a waste of time; now I can just have an injection."

"I've been getting plenty of sleep lately, consistently sleeping four hours a day. I've specifically calculated that four hours of sleep a day is more than enough for my nerve cells to rest; sleeping more would just be a waste of time. I should be focusing my precious time on experiments."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his expression was slightly smug. This time, he was very well prepared. Last time, because he was not enthusiastic about eating and often stayed up all night to work on experiments with Tobirama Senju, he was forced to go home and rest by Uchiha Nan.

During the New Year holiday, Uchiha Nan did not allow Orochimaru to set foot in the laboratory even once.

Orochimaru was extremely worried. Not being allowed to conduct experiments or make progress made him feel like he was sitting on Orochimaru at home, extremely uncomfortable.

During the New Year holiday, that idiot Jiraiya was always by my side, constantly asking where Jiraiya 'd been. Could I just casually tell anyone that I'd been taken in as a disciple by the Second Hokage Second Hokage was learning from him? (Smug face~)

Tsunade is Jiraiya talking about Tsunade, but he can't utter a single honest word when they meet. What's the point of having a woman Tsunade if Jiraiya never win her over? Experiments are much more interesting.

Good, good, good! You're something else Orochimaru!

You're a born beast!

Uchiha Nan was immediately awestruck, raising his index finger and waving it several times at Orochimaru, revealing a clear and innocent smile. (Ip Man smiles~)

"Orochimaru, never mind. Just know your limits. Go play somewhere else. I need to talk to the Second about something."

Orochimaru has already prepared so thoroughly, squeezing his time to the limit and still managing to get everything done so well. If you keep rambling on and on, you'll really become a busybody.

Let Orochimaru do as he pleases. Even if I intervened and changed the course of his life, who can say for sure about the world's corrective power? Maybe Orochimaru will still live to see Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, just like in the original story.

"Oh"

Orochimaru obediently walked to a corner of the laboratory, leaving Uchiha Nan and Tobirama Senju a private space for their conversation.

Tobirama, have you missed me lately?

Uchiha Nan patted Tobirama Senju the shoulder as he was engrossed in his work.

Tobirama Senju glanced at Uchiha Nan, then spat on the ground, his lips twitching slightly.

"Gun"

Uchiha Nan had a basic understanding of lip reading and immediately grasped Tobirama Senju's meaning.

Hey!

After so long apart, the two have grown so distant. All I did was treat Tobirama Senju like Tobirama Senju and even made a movie that subtly criticized him. Given the relationship between Uchiha Nan and Tobirama Senju, isn't this the least I can do?

"Tobirama, I feel like you're starting to disrespect me again. You don't want that either."

"Stop, Lord Hokage- sama! Get to the point!"

Seeing that Uchiha Nan quickly interrupted the spellcasting. He knew that he would not fare well if Tobirama Senju with that shameless bastard Uchiha Nan.

That's more like it.

Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction, and took out an electric tricycle and three boxes of Amoxicillin from the system's inventory.

"This is a little gift for you. Please work hard lately to get these two items mass-produced as quickly as possible!"

Tobirama Senju carefully examined the electric tricycle. Its simple and unadorned design was specifically for transporting goods. After fiddling with it for a while, he found it quite interesting. Some of the technologies involved were indeed worth studying, and it would be quite helpful for Uchiha Nan's ongoing research into trains.

What is this?

Tobirama Senju looked at the three boxes of Amoxicillin on the table. The writing on the boxes was strange; some he recognized, and some he didn't.

"A highly effective medicine whose ingredients can effectively kill bacteria, and it has an extraordinary effect on bacterial infections and inflammation."

"Tobirama, you should be well aware of the importance of this medicine to the entire Ninja world; calling it a miracle drug for saving lives wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Tobirama Senju nodded in deep agreement.

During the war, a large number of low-ranking ninjas died from complications such as bacterial infections, inflammation, and abscesses caused by injuries.

Konoha's Medical Ninja are pitifully few, and Medical Ninjutsu is firmly controlled by the ninja clans. Learning it comes at a price. Due to various factors such as funding, time, and resources, it is impossible to train Medical Ninja on a large scale. Sometimes, they can only watch helplessly as injured ninjas die, which is something they can't do.

If even ninjas are treated this way, then the common people, who are as insignificant as weeds, are even more so.

"Where did you get such good stuff, and this car too?"

Tobirama Senju pondered the origin of the things before him; these things clearly could not have been invented by Uchiha Nan.

"Hmph."

Uchiha Nan smiled; of course, it was extracted from the system.

"Never mind, I'll handle it."

Seeing Uchiha Nan Tobirama Senju Byakugan this bastard wouldn't tell him the truth. Anyway, it was good for Konoha, so Tobirama Senju didn't care what the truth was.

"Is there anything else? If not, don't get in my way and disturb my work."

Tobirama Senju bluntly ordered Uchiha Nan to leave, as he was extremely displeased by Tobirama Senju scathing remarks he received during the last movie screening.

"Of course there are other things to do. How's the progress on the Hashirama Cells? One prisoner after another is dying in the Konoha dungeon; it's time for you to produce some results."

Uchiha Nan's expression turned serious; this concerned his life and fortune, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

"Everything is progressing smoothly. The preparation of the Hashirama Cells solution is in its final stages. Now, all that's needed is for the Uchiha clan members to cooperate with the experiment."

As Tobirama Senju spoke, he walked to a wall, pressed a mechanism, and the wall opened, revealing a hidden laboratory.

Hashirama Senju's body was preserved in a jar of green solution, the crown jewel of Tobirama Senju's underground laboratory, something that couldn't be sold even if the entire laboratory were sold together.

The other jars contained experimental subjects, their appearances bizarre and inhuman, their expressions distorted, their bodies resembling tree trunks. They died horribly, but their deaths were worthy; they contributed to the peace of the Ninja world. Their contributions in death far outweighed their contributions in life.

"The latest Hashirama Cells solution is the most valuable research result I have obtained during this period."

Tobirama Senju picked up a bottle of solution from the lab bench and stared at it with fascination. The light green bottle reflected the laboratory lights, making it appear exceptionally dazzling.

Can I get the injection now?

Uchiha Nan's expression revealed anticipation; if he used this tube, he might even gain a complete Sage Body and Wood Release.

"Sure, but there are risks. Ordinary ninjas still have a considerable mortality rate. For the sake of testing data, all the captured ninjas you sent died."

The mortality rate for Uchiha ninjas should be much lower, but the dosage still needs to be adjusted.

Tobirama Senju enthusiastically explained the principles and the next steps in the experiment. Uchiha Nan, out of respect, could only patiently listen to Tobirama Senju speaking.

Good things come to those who wait. At least we've seen a glimmer of hope. Let's just wait a little longer Uchiha Nan comforted himself.

"Now I need the Uchiha's cooperation in the experiment. Without your experimental data, it would be far too difficult to complete the Hashirama Cells solution I envision. Even if we increased the number of captured ninjas several times over, it still wouldn't be enough."

Tobirama Senju looked at Uchiha Nan, a sense of anticipation creeping into his heart. He knew all too well how transformative Hashirama Cells solution would be for the entire Ninja world.

Ordinary ninjas will become geniuses in people's eyes, and ordinary people without ninja talent will be transformed and given the opportunity to train in Chakra. Top-tier ninjas will make leaps and bounds as if they have been given wings!

Although achieving all of this is still a long way off, the most crucial step is almost complete, and all that remains is to gradually overcome the remaining obstacles.

Mass production of qualified Hashirama Cells solutions is indeed a major challenge. The culture of Hashirama Cells, Uchiha cells, and ocular power, along with the auxiliary reagents for preparing the Hashirama Cells solutions—all these factors combined make the price prohibitively high.

However, Tobirama Senju believed that there was always a way to solve all of this.

The future of the Ninja world will ultimately belong to Konoha; it's such a waste that Uchiha Nan got off easy.

I did all the dirty and hard work, while Uchiha Nan took all the glory and honor. I'm so angry!

Uchiha Nan thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"I need your assurances regarding safety and convenience. It's not that I don't trust you, Tobirama, it's just your prejudice against the Uchiha."

Uchiha Nan didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was clear: Tobirama Senju wanted to settle personal scores, killing a few Uchiha would be too easy for him.

"What do you take me for? I am the Second Hokage of Konoha! How could I possibly harm my own comrades in the village!"

Tobirama Senju's face darkened; he really wanted to punch Uchiha Nan, never expecting that Uchiha Nan wouldn't trust him in this matter.

All he did was oust Uchiha Madara Uchiha, establish the Uchiha Military Police Force to guard against the Uchiha, and invent a few Ninjutsu to deal with Uchiha. Aside from these things, what else has he done to wrong the Uchiha?

"Alright, alright, I believe you. I am the Clan Head of the Uchiha clan, and the lives of my clan members are at stake. Concern leads to confusion, concern leads to confusion, hahaha."

Uchiha Nan laughed it off, saying he was just asking casually. Although Tobirama Senju despised the Uchiha, he shouldn't have stooped to that level.

"However, there's something I need to warn you about beforehand: Hashirama Cells are very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Even now, I don't fully understand the underlying mechanisms; it involves a level I can't comprehend yet."

"To be honest, I even doubt whether my older brother and I were born to the same parents. Can my older brother's body even be considered human?"

Tobirama Senju's tone was tinged with regret; the difference between people was greater than the difference between pigs.

"Even if your Uchiha has a certain natural compatibility with Hashirama Cells, considering the dangers of Hashirama Cells, I can only do my best to minimize the risks. If unforeseen circumstances arise that lead to casualties, you must understand."

"This is a great yet extremely risky experiment. Casualties among the Uchiha may be unavoidable. Don't come after me then."

Tobirama Senju spoke with great enthusiasm, giving Uchiha Nan a heads-up beforehand.

If the experiment goes wrong and some Uchiha clansmen are killed, Uchiha Nan might keep causing trouble for him.

"I see."

Uchiha Nan nodded. Sometimes, accidents during experiments are indeed unavoidable. If there were any casualties among the Uchiha, Uchiha Nan could only mourn for them and give them a proper burial.

I will take care of your wife and children, so you need not worry.

Uchiha Nan will take good care of his entire family.

"Write down your personnel requirements for me later, and I'll arrange for them to be sent over in a few days."

Uchiha Nan agreed to Tobirama Senju's request, Tobirama Senju visibly became happy. The fact that the experiment could achieve a further breakthrough was one of the few things that could make him happy.

"Tobirama, I've come here today for another extremely important matter, one that concerns the safety of Konoha, and even the entire Ninja world."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Nan decided to reveal some of the deepest secrets of the Ninja world to Tobirama Senju. Madara Uchiha was putting too much pressure on himself, and the feeling of keeping it bottled up inside was too unbearable if he didn't vent it.

Among all the people in Konoha, only Tobirama Senju is the most suitable to confide in, and also has the ability to offer advice and strategies.
