By the end of October, the "stubborn elements" of the Uchiha Police Force had fallen silent.
Most people do not support them, and the village leadership ignores their voices.
Ordinary ninjas, busy with missions and enjoying their ninja life, don't care about the "persecution by the former Hokage." What does the Second Hokage's affair have to do with the Fourth Hokage?
The "followers of Madara Uchiha " only stirred up a minor disturbance at the end of the relocation; the era of great integration could not be stopped, and the old stubbornness had completely become obsolete.
The weather was slightly cool. Inside the Hokage Building, Tsunade was also drinking a warm cup of tea. Since that night when she "reconciled" with her disciple, the two had resumed their close relationship.
Looking at the documents sent by Konoha Hospital, Tsunade carefully examined them and exclaimed in surprise, "The revenue from medicines is so much?!"
"I didn't expect this special medicine to be so popular. Some businessmen are even seeking distributorships. If this continues, our revenue will be good for the next few years."
Shu Furukawa had already reviewed the relevant documents. This seemingly ordinary cold medicine was more effective than others on the market, and the revenue was within his expectations. "It can be further optimized in the future. By replacing some mutated herbs, we can even develop a special medicine for daimyo."
"This should increase profits. As long as the medicine is effective, raising the price is not a problem."
Tsunade looked through the drug's development process with great interest, and noticing the unknown herbs, she immediately called over Shu Furukawa to introduce them to her.
Compared to the Hokage's political affairs, the development of these drugs was clearly more interesting. Tsunade would occasionally make notes on the paper, and when she turned to talk to others, the smile on her face became more and more frequent.
Around noon, Shizune brought the two of them a bento box she had prepared, but after pushing open the door to the room, she couldn't help but stand still and blink.
Tsunade and Shu Furukawa huddled together, discussing something in hushed tones.
"Is it on Shizune? We're just having lunch together, let me see if your cooking has improved?"
Tsunade and then told Shizune to stop. She quickly returned to her previous state, stroking her chin and rattling off a bunch of pharmacological reactions that the girl couldn't understand.
Shu Furukawa responded quickly, Tsunade, after a moment of contemplation, immediately broke into a bright smile. Shizune stared blankly at her teacher's fair face, subconsciously murmuring, "Teacher, you're getting more and more beautiful lately!"
Tsunade's smile faded upon hearing Shizune's words. She flicked the girl's forehead, feigning annoyance, and replied, "Ninjas are judged by their strength! Especially women; to gain respect, they must possess strength far surpassing that of male ninjas."
"Don't worry too much about appearances; a ninja's goal is to defeat all opponents with a single punch!"
Shizune nodded, but then, noticing the bright red color on Tsunade, the girl whispered enviously, "Teacher's hands are so beautiful. This color just doesn't suit me at all..."
Noticing Shu Furukawa's gaze, Tsunade subconsciously clenched her fist to hide the movement of her fingers, tapped Shizune's forehead again, and earnestly instructed, "Don't focus on these things! It's not time to relax yet. You need to ask Osamu for more advice, at least don't fall too far behind in Medical Ninjutsu!"
"Alright, let's have lunch together. Let me try your cooking..."
Shu Furukawa smiled and responded to Tsunade's greeting, eating the lovingly prepared Shizune box while praising it and pondering in his heart. "The subtle influence of spirits on personality? Konan seems to have a similar situation."
Over the years, he has been so focused on Collection energy that Shu Furukawa has not yet fully grasped the mutated Spirit Transformation Technique.
In the future, he will also help Tsunade master Senjutsu Chakra; this derivative ability seems to be a good thing.
In the evening, at the gate of Konoha Hospital, Minato Namikaze and Kushina appeared hand in hand, chatting intimately as they walked, completely unaware of Kakashi not far away.
" Minato-sensei, it's been so long since the mission ended!"
Kakashi bowed slightly in greeting. Minato, hearing the familiar voice, scratched his head awkwardly and apologized, "Sorry, Kakashi, I didn't see you here."
"I've had some household chores lately, but I might reduce my workload towards the end of the year."
The two have been teaming up frequently these past few months, and under Minato's guidance, Kakashi has made considerable progress.
"Is the teacher here for a medical check-up?"
"Haha, Kakashi, at your age you should read less of Jiraiya- sensei's books."
Minato Namikaze chuckled dryly, his face slightly flushed. After trying for a long time, Kushina became a little impatient, so the two of them went to the hospital for a check-up together and took the opportunity to get some fresh air.
Upon seeing her husband's expression, Kushina immediately grabbed his arm and said aggressively, "Those books were all given to Kakashi by you, weren't they! Jiraiya- sensei, really..."
" Kakashi, bring Rin over this weekend, and we can try out this guy's new dish together!"
After his wife wrapped her arms around him, Minato revealed a slightly silly smile and extended an invitation, completely losing his cold demeanor from battle.
Kakashi smiled and agreed. Watching the two walk away hand in hand, so intimately, he couldn't help but think of his friend again, " Obito, you must really like this kind of life!"
"It seems that Minato-sensei is about to become a father; the next generation of children can grow up in a peaceful environment."
The happier and more wonderful life is, the more Kakashi will think of Obito.
Sometimes, after his resurrection, he would have fantasies that Obito hadn't died either, and that one day he would suddenly appear beside him and foolishly challenge him.
" Kakashi, sorry I'm late!"
"Work was a bit busy today. The Lord Hokage came to inspect, and everyone's morale is high..."
Rin Nohara ran to Kakashi's side, panting, and shared her day. The two naturally intertwined their fingers, which was their daily routine.
"Wow, Lin, that's amazing! I didn't expect the hospital to have changed so much."
"Developing puppets? That was Xiu's idea, wasn't it? Multitasking is too difficult for ordinary ninjas..."
Kakashi responded softly, and as they approached the shopping street, he instinctively tightened his grip on the girl's hand, seemingly worried that she might get lost.
Noticing that many people were looking at the two of them, Rin Nohara blushed slightly; Kakashi's hair color was too eye-catching. " Kakashi, will this kind of life continue forever?"
Sensing the unease in the girl's voice, Kakashi looked at Rin Nohara's profile and replied earnestly, "I will definitely protect this happy life!"
The White Zetsu, hidden among ordinary villagers, witnessed this scene. Although he had seen it many times before, he was still "shocked."
The White Lord Madara, who was killed by Madara, was brought back to life. White Zetsu couldn't imagine what would have happened if Obito had known about this earlier.
After relaying the information back, White Zetsu remembered Black Zetsu's plan and almost burst out laughing. Life was too boring, and they both wanted to see the changes in the next stage of the Executor.
Since arriving in the Land of Water, Obito Uchiha has entered a frenzied killing spree, basically killing Kirigakure Ninja he can find.
This overt malice made Nagato and Konan realize something was wrong; how could this "patriarch" of the Uchiha have a grudge against the Kirigakure Ninja?
Without delving into the motives for the murder, just looking at Madara Uchiha's Dōjutsu, Nagato immediately realized that his opponent was indeed extremely powerful.
Most ninjas cannot resist the long-range ninjutsu that distorts space, and with that convenient displacement, even if the Mizukage himself were to take action, he would not have a good way to deal with Madara Uchiha.
"You won't need to lift a finger after this. I'll use Genjutsu to control the Fourth Mizukage when I find an opportunity."
"Don't worry, there won't be too many battles."
" Kirigakure also has Tailed Beast. Once we control this village, it will become Akatsuki's headquarters, and will provide Amegakure with more missions in the coming years."
After making a brief arrangement, Obito looked at Konan with his scarlet eyes. The girl hesitated slightly before nodding in agreement. "If Kirigakure can peacefully relinquish the commission, then Amegakure will indeed have to express its gratitude to you."
"Even now, our mission has only barely returned to normal. With help, the Amegakure will only get better and better."
Nagato nodded in agreement with the plan and didn't discuss the topic further. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Did the Kirigakure Ninja harm you in the past? Or did you develop this grudge in the last few years?"
"I just wanted to get my rusty body moving!"
Obito realized he had almost given himself away and immediately tried to salvage the situation. Noticing that Konan was also about to ask a question, he simply changed the subject. "If there are any test subjects in Kirigakure that you're interested in, let me know, and I'll help you further complete the Six Paths Technique."
"Once we control the Fourth Mizukage, this village won't say no to us anymore."
"No need to rush, we can wait a few more months. We can wait for the right opportunity to take action and deal with them."
Upon hearing Madara Uchiha's voice, Nagato and Konan both nodded in agreement. In terms of patience, he truly seemed like an "ancestor."
Kirigakure has recently suffered significant "battle losses." Although the Fourth Mizukage announced the end of the policy of the Bloody Mist Village, the huge behavioral inertia generated over the years continues to affect the entire village.
Over the past few months, Mei Terumi, who maintained neutrality, has killed many Kirigakure Ninja.
The girl's Kekkei Genkai is extremely powerful against ordinary ninjas, and many people would only bow their heads and greet her when they saw this powerful figure.
When Mei Terumi returned to her Apartment late at night, she had just taken off her blood-stained coat when Shu Furukawa's spirit spoke up, reminding her. "The time to deal with Suikazan Fuguki is fast approaching. After the Fourth Mizukage is controlled, your and Kisame's actions will attract less attention."
"Control the Fourth Mizukage? Is there anyone else besides you who can do that?"
Mei Terumi asked curiously, but Shu Furukawa didn't explain much, simply giving her a name: " Madara Uchiha."
" Mangekyō Sharingan."
After careful consideration, Mei Terumi's eyes widened. She remembered the familiar name and was about to ask when Shu Furukawa made another arrangement, "Once the Bloody Mist Policy returns, you need to continue creating carnage and gradually eliminate those old guys. Then I will come and help you take control of Kirigakure."
The girl pouted. She knew what Shu Furukawa needed—just killing. She was completely used to it. She continued to take off her clothes, displaying her figure in front of the mirror, and asked with a playful laugh, "You've been spying on me every day. What do you think of my figure?"
Shu Furukawa simply went invisible. There was nothing to comment on about this washboard-like character. He continued recording Mei Terumi's personality changes, "It must be broken. The Mutant Spirit Transformation Technique really needs improvement..."
