"As Hokage, I must consider the bigger picture, so I hope Izuna understands."
Uchiha Nan made his stance clear.
For the sake of Konoha, his bottom line is very flexible.
Tobirama Senju can create more value for Konoha, then I can only ask Izuna Uchiha to sacrifice a little bit.
"I see."
Izuna Uchiha looked at Uchiha Nan and nodded.
He was the former second-in-command of the Uchiha, but in reality, the leader.
He could understand Uchiha Nan's actions.
For the long-term benefit of the family, it is acceptable to sacrifice some people.
He had made similar choices before; in order to carry out his employer's orders, he would send his people on missions that were certain to result in death.
But I understand as I understand, and I hate it as I hate it!
After all, it's me who's sacrificing myself now!
What utter nonsense about prioritizing the overall situation!
I'm not part of the big picture!
Izuna Uchiha still deeply disliked Uchiha Nan's actions, wishing he could punch Uchiha Nan in the face and teach him a lesson about respecting one's seniors.
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
Izuna Uchiha decided to swallow his anger for now, and wait for the right opportunity to exact revenge.
Then, Izuna Uchiha turned his attention to Tobirama Senju.
The inherently evil Tobirama Senju is still there, gloating and laughing!!
"Does it mean that as long as I make a greater contribution than Tobirama Senju!"
"I can also gain control of Tobirama Senju's body, and do whatever I want!"
Izuna Uchiha turned all his anger towards Tobirama Senju.
After his own death, his elder brother suffered so much injustice, was ostracized by Tobirama Senju, lost the opportunity to become the Second Hokage, later defected from Konoha to become an Avenger, and was eventually killed.
Ultimately, it's all Tobirama Senju's fault!
Besides his elder brother's grudge, he also had his own grudge.
This hatred and resentment will never end!
I must thoroughly investigate and clean everything up!
Uchiha Nan remained silent after hearing this, only glancing indifferently at Izuna Uchiha.
Tobirama Senju stood to the side, gloating, ready to watch the two annoying Uchiha dogs fight it out.
Unexpectedly, Izuna Uchiha turned his attention to himself.
He even wanted to surpass himself in his most prized research field, which made Tobirama Senju burst into laughter.
They immediately began mocking Izuna Uchiha.
"Hmph, defeated opponent!"
"What do you know about scientific research? Can you even spell the word 'scientific research'? And you dare to spout nonsense here!"
"Shut up. I just disdain researching those weird experiments. Do you think I can't do it?"
"I have Sharingan!!"
" Sharingan? Who opened the Sharingan and got killed by me with a single strike?"
"Scientific research requires a brain. Do you even have a brain?"
"You and Madara Uchiha are both just brutes, utterly worthless!!!"
"Go to hell!!"
Izuna Uchiha and Tobirama Senju started arguing again, but because Uchiha Nan was nearby, they wisely refrained from resorting to violence.
It's just a relentless attempt to belittle the other party.
Unfortunately, Izuna Uchiha was consistently at a disadvantage, after all, he was a Tobirama Senju opponent of Izuna Uchiha.
So tragic
He was so humiliated by Tobirama Senju's insults that he couldn't even lift his head.
Seeing that the two showed no intention of fighting, Uchiha Nan did not interrupt their verbal battle, but stood aside with interest, watching their "war."
At the same time, a question couldn't help but pop into his mind—did Izuna Uchiha actually have any talent for scientific research?
According to the settings
Izuna Uchiha and Tobirama Senju were both the eldest brother's right-hand men on their respective sides, both were strategists, and their talents and intelligence should be roughly equal.
However, the Uchiha relies heavily on the Sharingan; most Ninjutsu and Taijutsu can be learned with just a glance using the Sharingan.
Izuna Uchiha, on the other hand, awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, mastered two powerful eye techniques, and even possessed the Susanoo.
Why waste time and effort on scientific research and experimentation to study all sorts of forbidden techniques to improve combat power?
Although Tobirama Senju also came from the old-school bloodline clan, the Senju Clan, he was still no match for the Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan. He had to find another way, "taking shortcuts" in Ninjutsu, developing all sorts of techniques to enhance his combat power.
perhaps
Was Izuna Uchiha Tobirama Senju, a scientific genius?
" Tobirama, since Izuna wants to contribute to Konoha and make a name for himself in scientific research, you should support him!"
Uchiha Nan decided to try his luck with a couple of shots, even if it seemed risky, because he was sure he wouldn't lose out!
"Hey, Uchiha Nan!"
"You actually believe what Izuna Uchiha said?"
"He understands scientific research; he has the necessary knowledge; he knows."
Tobirama Senju rattled off a long list of technical terms, some of which were even invented by Tobirama Senju, much like reciting a menu.
Uchiha Nan couldn't understand it, and neither could Izuna Uchiha.
"Enough!"
" Izuna- sama doesn't know how, you can teach him."
"Are you scared?"
"I'm afraid that once Izuna learns it, his research level will surpass yours."
Uchiha Nan tried to be clever by directly asking Tobirama Senju to teach Izuna Uchiha, but that was definitely not going to work.
The best approach is still to use reverse psychology.
"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of him?"
"Teaching an idiot is a huge waste of time. I could mercifully teach him, but aren't you worried that he'll slow down my research progress?"
"If the research progress slows down and the submitted research results don't meet the requirements, you'll start nagging me again."
Are you responsible for this?
Tobirama Senju saw through Uchiha Nan's little trick at a glance and started talking about the research progress that Uchiha Nan kept mentioning.
"Hmm"
Uchiha Nan felt somewhat helpless, not because he was worried about the progress of the research.
Instead, if he agreed to take responsibility, Tobirama Senju would have another reason to secretly hide his research results, and might even turn around and shift all the blame onto him.
"Young man, you have to believe me!"
"I'm no less capable than Tobirama Senju; anything he can do, I can do too."
Seeing Izuna Uchiha hesitate, Uchiha Nan immediately stood up to speak for him.
"No, I'll take the responsibility. Let's try it out for two months first."
"For the past two months, Izuna Uchiha has been learning from you, so I can consider reducing your performance evaluation."
"Of course. You must teach Izuna Uchiha with all your heart, just like you taught Orochimaru, without holding back anything."
Uchiha Nan decided to take a gamble, hoping that Izuna Uchiha wouldn't let him down.
"Hmph, making me teach an idiot is a waste of my time."
Seeing Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan felt a pang of regret; he should have just refused earlier.
Why would he be willing to teach Izuna Uchiha the knowledge he had painstakingly discovered and accumulated bit by bit?
Knowledge is extremely valuable in the Ninja world!
But since things have come to this point...
If you refuse now and then try to back out, Uchiha Nan will definitely accuse you of being a coward.
However, Tobirama Senju did not take Izuna Uchiha seriously.
It's utterly delusional for a mere brute who only knows how to use the Sharingan to think he can defeat me in the field of scientific research.
However, it's not without its advantages.
"Also, you defeated opponent, now that you're following me to learn, shouldn't you call me 'teacher'?"
Tobirama Senju walked up to Izuna Uchiha with a smug look on his face and spoke in a very arrogant tone.
"You're delusional!"
"Hmph, I only wanted to use you as a stepping stone. You don't even deserve to be my teacher."
"You?"
"If Uchiha Nan hadn't begged me, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be my grand-disciple. You're just a defeated opponent!!!"
"."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
Uchiha Nan stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
These two old bastards can argue endlessly once they start.
" Izuna, I will prepare a new body for you in a moment."
"Then I will teach you the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. You should be able to create close to three digits of clones, just like Tobirama Senju."
"For the next two months, you will be following Tobirama Senju, learning without a moment's rest. You cannot waste a single second."
Izuna Uchiha listened, he sensed something was amiss.
Dozens of clones?
Studying non-stop for 24 hours a day, without any time to rest?
"Junior, although I haven't learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, I do know the Shadow Clone Technique. I remember that abusing this technique can cause physical problems, right?"
"I know, it's easy to overwork and suddenly die, but you're already dead, what are you afraid of?"
Uchiha Nan said this as a matter of course.
That seems to make some sense.
No, that makes absolutely no sense!!
This is clearly an attempt to treat me like a beast of burden!!
"You don't even have a moment to rest?"
Can't you sleep?
"Shouldn't learning involve a balance of work and rest?"
Uchiha Nan was about to speak.
Tobirama Senju spoke up from the side, his tone somewhat gloating.
"Sleep?"
What do dead people sleep for?
"This is a complete waste of time!"
Uchiha Nan nodded in deep agreement.
As expected!
Under the influence of my noble moral character, Tobirama Senju's enlightenment has been elevated to a higher level.
"Shut up!!"
"Can you study continuously for 24 hours a day?"
Seeing Tobirama Senju's gloating expression, Izuna Uchiha instinctively assumed that Tobirama Senju was plotting against him again.
"Hmph, defeated opponent, this is my life: dozens of clones, working non-stop 24 hours a day."
"Of course, this will also be part of your life from now on."
Tobirama Senju's expression became complicated, and he even seemed about to cry.
Izuna Uchiha glanced at Tobirama Senju, then at Uchiha Nan.
I was shocked by Tobirama Senju's intense working hours in just a moment.
I feel like I've fallen into a huge pit.
But to back down at this point.
What about what I just said?
Am I the clown?
" Izuna, I have high hopes for you!"
" Tobirama Senju had a Disciple named Orochimaru. Although he was exceptionally talented, he was still limited by the fact that he was a living person and needed to sleep and rest. He also couldn't use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to speed up his learning."
"Therefore, his progress has been somewhat slow. He studied under Tobirama Senju for several years before he was able to stand on his own."
"But you're different. You have nearly a hundred clones, allowing you to study 24/7. If your talent is no less than Tobirama Senju's, you'll likely achieve great things in scientific research in a very short time!"
Uchiha Nan looked at Izuna Uchiha and expressed his expectations for him. If Izuna Uchiha was truly a research genius like Tobirama Senju, then he would have hit the jackpot!
Two nuclear-powered donkeys working for themselves—the number of scientific research achievements would skyrocket!
Double the happiness!!
Moreover, these two nuclear-powered donkeys have a grudge against each other, and with just a little trickery, I can make them both engage in a crazy infighting.
Until they were rolled up to death, no, they were already dead!
It's impossible to kill it with a roll!!
" Izuna, you won't disappoint me, will you?"
Uchiha Nan looked at Izuna Uchiha sincerely, and then spoke slowly.
"Mmm."
Don't worry, junior, I won't let you down!
Izuna Uchiha swallowed hard, his throat tightening, and finally he could only nod helplessly.
The path you choose, you have to keep going, even if it hurts.
Tobirama Senju was still watching from the sidelines!
I absolutely cannot let him look down on me.
"Excellent, Izuna!!"
"Then I wish you success!"
Uchiha Nan nodded and began to sculpt a new body for Izuna Uchiha.
certainly
Just like he did with Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Nan Izuna Uchiha a whole host of instructions.
They even added a specific order prohibiting the use of force in the laboratory.
To prevent Izuna Uchiha from secretly escaping the laboratory and causing some terrible trouble.
Uchiha Nan also secretly pulled Tobirama Senju aside.
The plan was for Tobirama Senju to keep an eye on Izuna Uchiha.
" Tobirama, I'm also entrusting you with the task of guarding Izuna Uchiha. Since he'll be following you around 24/7 to learn from you, this task is perfect for you."
"Hmph, you really know how to order me around."
"I can't even escape, let alone a mere Izuna Uchiha."
"Being cautious is the best policy."
"If you had been more careful back then, you wouldn't have been ambushed by Kinkaku Ginkaku."
Shut up! Don't bring up things you shouldn't talk about!
Tobirama Senju was somewhat exasperated. Why was Uchiha Nan still harping on his dark past?
That damned Kumogakure! If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have ended up in this state today!!
Tobirama Senju muttered to himself.
"I'm doing this so you can reflect on your mistakes; never let your guard down."
"Don't forget, Madara Uchiha is still living a leisurely life in Konoha. What if Madara sees Izuna Uchiha Madara Uchiha Konoha?"
"The consequences would be absolutely terrifying."
Uchiha Nan emphasized the existence of Madara Uchiha; this old man would be furious if he saw Izuna Uchiha being Impure World Reincarnation Edo Tensei.
If one's own beloved younger brother's soul is being toyed with after death, he will surely go berserk and attack people.
Uchiha Nan didn't want to be chased and hacked down by the Susanoo over Great Buddha.
"I see."
Don't worry.
Tobirama Senju nodded, after all, it involved the safety of Konoha.
Although he pretended not to care, Tobirama Senju certainly wouldn't let his guard down.
