"Hmph."
"You two are really something."
That certainly includes...
Looking at the two energetic individuals, Uchiha Nan smiled.
right!
This is exactly how it should be!!
You two are always sighing and complaining while doing research. When are you ever going to improve your research efficiency?
I need to get you two excited!
"Junior, I want to be in charge!"
Uchiha Nan had just finished speaking.
Izuna Uchiha couldn't wait to start recommending himself.
Such an opportunity is simply once in a lifetime!
Damn it!
He only lost one move due to carelessness before he died!
I've been tormented by this inherently evil, Senju- armed old devil ever since!
I have to get my revenge!
"Hmph, Uchiha Nan, I think you should find someone with extensive research experience to be the head of Root!"
"Give me 50 billion taels of silver, and I'll conquer this project within two years. I'll grant you a pair of Tenseigan!"
Tobirama Senju started to exert his influence, not only specifying the funding requirements but also revealing the exact timeframe for the project's completion, which prompted Uchiha Nan to nod in approval.
Don't push them.
All they know is to slack off.
50 billion taels
That's an astronomical sum.
However, this money has to be spent.
Once the Tenseigan is created, no amount of money is too much to bear!
And it's just a mere 50 billion taels.
Konoha has plenty of money!
Uchiha Nan couldn't help but smile, just about to say something.
"Junior, give me 30 billion taels of silver, and I will conquer this project within a year. In return, I will grant you a pair of Tenseigan."
Oh? There are experts too?
Uchiha Nan quickly turned his gaze to Izuna Uchiha.
But before Uchiha Nan could speak, Tobirama Senju spoke up again:
" Uchiha Nan, give me 10 billion ryo, and I'll conquer this project within six months. In return, I'll give you a pair of Tenseigan!"
"Junior, give me 5 billion taels of silver, and I'll conquer this project within three months. In return, I'll grant you a pair of Tenseigan!"
" Uchiha Nan, give me 3 billion ryo, and I'll conquer this project within a month. I'll give you a pair of Tenseigan!"
"Junior."
" Uchiha Nan."
"You defeated opponent, do you really want to compete with me for this position?"
"Gold? You dare not deserve it!"
"Fart!"
"I'm not afraid of you when it comes to one-on-one combat, but when it comes to scientific research, I'm far superior!"
"Enough!!"
Uchiha Nan roared, interrupting the argument Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha. At first, what they were saying was normal, but later it was purely a battle of egos. These two Old man really never give me a moment's peace!
"What do you take the Tenseigan Project for?"
Is this child's play?
"Ten billion taels, in twenty days!"
"How could either of you utter such boastful words!"
Faced with Uchiha Nan's questioning, Tobirama Senju Izuna Uchiha suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.
I was just too excited and couldn't control myself for a moment.
Ten billion taels of funding
They can't even afford the experimental supplies for the Tenseigan Project.
"It was Izuna Uchiha! He was the one who just said that!"
Tobirama Senju skillfully began shifting the blame.
"Hey, Tobirama Senju, didn't you just say, 'Three billion ryo, in a month'? If you can create the Tenseigan with just that little money and that little time, Tobirama Senju, I'll acknowledge you as the head of Root!"
Izuna Uchiha immediately opened his mouth to retaliate.
We're all equally bad, and you're still trying to stir up trouble for me at this point!
Do you really think I'm afraid of you?
"A defeated opponent. So, do you think you can do it?"
"Shut up, all of you!!"
Uchiha Nan glared fiercely at the two of them.
Still arguing, still arguing!!
This is never going to end.
"Call"
Uchiha Nan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Then he looked at Tobirama Senju.
" Tobirama, are you sure you can create the Tenseigan for me within two years for just 50 billion ryo?"
Uchiha Nan Tobirama Senju had initially stated and inquired about them.
These conditions sound reasonable.
Tobirama Senju's eyes darted around, a guilty conscience pounding in his chest. He regretted saying "a few more years" earlier.
To be honest.
Tobirama Senju wasn't entirely confident about the conditions he had previously stated.
Scientific research, you know.
Sometimes a flash of inspiration can speed up the process considerably, while other times a poor state of mind can slow it down considerably.
Anyway, I'll first give Uchiha Nan a promise, then make him the head of Root, and then put Izuna Uchiha under my command.
As for whether the pie in his own eyes can be realized...
Let's talk about it in two years!
Faced with Tobirama Senju's hesitation, Uchiha Nan was running out of patience.
Is this old man just making empty promises to himself from the start?
What a born evil Senju Demon!
Tobirama Senju sensed Uchiha Nan's impatience and glanced discreetly at Uchiha Izumi, who was eagerly trying to seize an opportunity!
At this point, decisiveness is essential!
then
Tobirama Senju said decisively, "I can!"
"Really?"
" Tobirama, if you keep making empty promises, the consequences will be severe."
Uchiha Nan stared intently at Tobirama Senju. If this old man dared to make empty promises, he would make him understand the true meaning of the Lord Hokage's wrath!
Leave it to me.
Tobirama Senju remained expressionless and readily agreed.
"I... I... I'm a junior, but I can do it too! I'm no worse than Tobirama Senju!"
Izuna Uchiha quickly interjected.
He didn't actually know if he could create the Tenseigan within two years using only 50 billion ryo, but he was no less capable than Tobirama Senju in his lifetime!
I absolutely cannot let Tobirama Senju outdo me!
Uchiha Nan glanced at Tobirama Senju Izuna Uchiha; the two were truly at odds.
Neither of them are easy to deal with!
They really never give me a moment's peace.
I need to come up with a reasonable way to make these two guys work for me without worry.
After a moment of contemplation
Uchiha Nan spoke up, "Then let's adopt the two-person leadership approach for now."
"For the first two months, you two will take turns being the leader. In the third month, we'll compare the project progress during your respective months as leader. Whoever's project progresses faster and makes greater strides will be the leader for the rest of the year. I'll be the referee."
I have a problem!
"Explain!"
"It's difficult to make a specific evaluation of who is making faster or greater progress in a research project, especially since you're a layman, making it even harder for you to make a fair judgment."
Adhering to the rigor of a scientific researcher, Tobirama Senju began to question Uchiha Nan.
You're just a worthless client who only cares about taking money; you know nothing about scientific research!
So what do you want to do?
Uchiha Nan glanced at Tobirama Senju, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction.
This old man actually looks down on me?
"I propose that Orochimaru be the referee!"
I reject your proposal!
Uchiha Nan rejected Tobirama Senju's suggestion without even thinking.
That old bastard was definitely up to no good!
He's just daydreaming.
Orochimaru was your last disciple!
" Tobirama, your abacus beads have already hit my face. If your research progress is neck and neck after a month, and I can't tell who's better, then just keep taking turns being in charge, isn't that enough?"
Tobirama Senju hesitated, but then gave up trying to persist.
The suggestion I just made...
He was just taking a chance, hoping for the best, in case Uchiha Nan suddenly had a brain fart and let Orochimaru be the referee.
I've made a huge profit!
"Then it's decided."
Seeing that neither of them objected anymore, Uchiha Nan finalized the plan.
"Who among you wants to be the person in charge for the first month?"
"Me!" x2
"You two are really something."
Uchiha Nan covered his face, having already anticipated this situation.
In reality, whether it's Tobirama Senju or Izuna Uchiha, the outcome would be the same regardless of who takes the lead in the first month; it will be their turn in the second month anyway.
These two are truly beyond saving!
All he could think about was tormenting the other person.
Who cares about the second month?
You have to enjoy yourself first!!
Let's decide by drawing lots.
Uchiha Nan found two pieces of paper and wrote "one" and "two" on each. They agreed that whoever drew "one" would be the dealer for the first month, and whoever drew "two" would be the dealer for the second month.
The rules have been clearly stated.
Two papers, take one.
Tobirama Senju Izuna Uchiha each picked up a piece of paper and eagerly looked at the numbers on the back.
"Hey, I won!"
"I'm the first person to be the dealer in the first month!!"
Izuna Uchiha immediately started shouting and celebrating his "victory," Tobirama Senju looked utterly devastated, his face instantly darkening. This month...
" Tobirama, I'll really enjoy this first month."
Izuna Uchiha revealed a sinister smile, glancing at Tobirama Senju beside him, and said through gritted teeth.
He had been waiting for this day for a very long time!
If you have a grudge, complain about it; if you have a grudge, seek revenge!
"Tch, you think I'm afraid of you?"
"I'll be in charge in the second month. Then, everything you've done to me will be returned to you in full, and doubled!"
Tobirama Senju appeared tough and unyielding, never backing down in a verbal exchange, but inwardly he was beginning to feel fear and trepidation.
The inherently evil Izuna Uchiha will definitely find all sorts of ways to torment himself this January.
"Snort!"
Izuna Uchiha scoffed dismissively, completely unconcerned about Tobirama Senju's threat. He didn't believe that Tobirama would be at peace with him if he were the first to be in Tobirama Senju!
They'll definitely find all sorts of ways to torment themselves!
It's just mutual torment!
Let's go!
I'm going to enjoy myself first anyway!
"Junior, hurry up and give me Tobirama Senju's body access."
Izuna Uchiha looked at Uchiha Nan and said impatiently.
"Hmm, I think you should just forget about it."
Uchiha Nan wanted to say a few words to try and get them to get along peacefully, but before he could even utter a word, he realized it would be a waste of breath.
Let them torture each other.
As long as the research project progresses on schedule, that's fine.
I'm sure I won't lose out either way.
Uchiha Nan took out an armband from the sealing scroll, wrote the words " Root Leader" on it, and then began to Hand Seals, transferring some of the two people's body control to the armband. As long as they were in this laboratory, wearing this armband would give them control over the other's Impure World Reincarnation body.
"For you."
Izuna Uchiha took the armband and eagerly put it on his shoulder. The moment he put it on, he could feel that he could control Tobirama Senju's body.
" Tobirama Senju, stand at attention!"
Izuna Uchiha shouted.
Tobirama Senju stood up straight.
" Izuna Uchiha, what do you want to do!"
Tobirama Senju felt his body slip out of control and immediately began to curse.
This inherently evil Izuna Uchiha!
"From now on, call me Izuna!"
"Yes, Izuna!!"
Tobirama Senju immediately agreed.
But in my heart
Tobirama Senju was itching to use his Flying Thunder God Slash Izuna Uchiha into eight pieces.
Uchiha Nan looked at Tobirama Senju straight, and felt a pang of pity in his heart.
cough cough cough Okay, actually I'm quite happy.
Such a scene is truly rare to see.
It's such a pity.
I didn't bring my camera today, otherwise I would definitely have taken a couple of photos to remember the occasion.
" Uchiha Nan, say something!"
"You're just going to watch him torment me like this!"
Tobirama Senju looked at Uchiha Nan and began shouting loudly, trying to seek help from outside the arena.
Uchiha Nan, help!!
" Tobirama, there's nothing I can do."
"That's the rule, and the three of us agreed to it!"
" Tobirama Senju, you can't just start following the rules when you're in control."
"Besides, it's only a month. Just be patient, it'll pass quickly, and you'll be in charge again in the second month."
Uchiha Nan suppressed the urge to smirk and spoke earnestly.
As the referee, even if Tobirama Senju has always been his driving force, he cannot show favoritism or cheat; otherwise, how can he uphold justice in the future?
"Well said, junior!!"
Izuna Uchiha chimed in from the side.
That inherently evil Senju devil with a thousand hands can't even handle a little bit of fun! I'm going to punish him severely later!!
Uchiha Nan glanced at Izuna Uchiha, then said, " Izuna Uchiha, you'll be in charge for the first month, overseeing all matters related to Root. I'm not going to get involved in your feud with Tobirama Senju, just don't slow down my Tenseigan plan."
"Don't worry, junior, I know what I'm doing."
Izuna Uchiha nodded; he certainly wouldn't slow down the project's progress!
Every day, Tobirama Senju's clones can do the work; as for his main body... hehe.
How much would the absence of a single component slow down a project's progress?
Looking at Uchiha Nan, who was engrossed in his own world, Izuna Uchiha sighed inwardly. It was obvious that Izuna Uchiha hadn't listened to a word he said.
never mind
Let them torture each other.
Uchiha Nan was too lazy to care anymore.
Let's give Tobirama Senju some face; I'm leaving now.
I won't stand here and watch him suffer.
then
Uchiha Nan turned and left the underground laboratory.
They hadn't gone far when, in the hallway between the rooms, Uchiha Nan heard sounds coming from inside.
"Say it! Say you're a stinking Senju!"
"Squat down!"
"Tell me, isn't the Uchiha's Sharingan amazing!"
"Now you're behaving yourself, right? Use your Flying Thunder God again!"
"That's not good enough! This is just the beginning!"
