"No, Xiangjiu is a civilian from Land of Whirlpools. He fled here all the way. After arriving at Kusagakure, he was discovered by Grass Ninja that chakra can have a healing effect, and he has been imprisoned ever since."
"Your Excellency is willing to save our mother and daughter, Xiangjiu is grateful." Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu's voice was low and calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"Xiangjiu knows that there is no free lunch in this world. If you are willing to save me, you must be interested in something in Xiangjiu."
Uzumaki Kagu looked directly at Uchiha Jun, with an almost crazy determination burning in those dim eyes.
"Xiangjiu's only use is the chakra in his body."
"The ninjas of Kusagakure said that Xiangjiu's chakra has a healing effect, and one bite can restore injuries. So these years, they have always regarded Xiangjiu as..."
"If you don't mind me, Xiangjiu can continue to serve you like Kusagakure, as long as... you can make Xiangjiu eat well."
She paused and glanced at Karin Uzumaki beside her unconsciously, her voice becoming softer and firmer.
'Only when you are full can you produce more chakra, and you can survive... until Karin grows up.'
Uchiha Jun did not answer immediately.
He quietly looked at the woman in front of him, at her emaciated body, at the scars all over her body, and at her eyes that were clearly desperate.
But she still burned the last bit of her Life Force eyes for her daughter.
He has seen many miserable people.
In this Shinobi World, misery is never a rare thing.
"You misunderstood."
"I'm not interested in your little chakra, but I'm interested in your Uzumaki Clan's potential."
Uchiha Jun directly threw a scroll and landed in front of the Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu, "Take a look at this first."
Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu reached out and took the scroll.
When you unfold it, you will see that it is densely filled with theoretical knowledge about Medical Ninjutsu, as well as a set of evaluation forms for testing ninja medical talents.
"This is...Medical Ninjutsu's test question?"
As a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, Uzumaki Kagu has had a natural affinity for medical knowledge since childhood.
It's just that during the years of Kusagakure, she never had any chance to come into contact with formal Medical Ninjutsu knowledge, so she could only instinctively use chakra to help people heal.
But now, the content on the scroll in front of her is like a key, opening up her memories and talents that have been hidden for many years.
Her eyes quickly scanned the words on the scroll, her speed became faster and faster, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Those obscure medical theories seemed to come alive in her eyes, and knowledge points automatically connected and collided in her mind, bursting out inspiration that even surprised her.
"This... theory about cell activation, if combined with the Uzumaki Clan and Yang Release Chakra, the therapeutic effect should be increased by more than three times."
"And this, regarding the nerve repair technique, we can actually learn from the patterns of Sealing Jutsu to construct..."
Uzumaki Kagu heard Uchiha Jun's words and realized the significance of the future, in order to show his "investment" potential.
He is also frantically squeezing out every ounce of his potential.
Uchiha Jun's eyes flashed with surprise.
He originally thought that Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu had a good memory at best and could memorize the test questions.
But I didn't expect that not only could she answer questions fluently, but she could also draw inferences and come up with some interesting ideas.
"Very good." Uchiha Jun showed a satisfied smile, "It seems that you have good potential. From now on, you will officially join my organization."
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Jun took out a benefits form and an organization introduction booklet written by Kakuzu himself, and handed them over.
"With a monthly salary of one million taels, including food and accommodation, and a separate residence, you have only one mission - to become a qualified medical ninja in the plan."
"The salary and benefits will increase accordingly according to your progress rate."
"One... one million taels?"
Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu's eyes widened, and he froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
She had imagined that someone would come to save her, but she had never imagined that the person who came to save her would offer her such conditions.
One million taels a month, even Kusagakure's 'Jonin' may not be able to earn this amount in a month.
After all, Shinobi World's tasks are almost monopolized by Five Great Ninja Villages. Even Takigakure cannot achieve circulation through the task industry.
Not to mention those on the roadside like Kusagakure. On weekdays, at best, they are just mercenaries hired to act as cannon fodder.
Moreover, what the young man in front of me said was not "selling oneself", but "training".
This means she is not a tool, but a talent?!
"You... are you not afraid that I will waste your money?" Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu's voice trembled a little, "I'm just a... a waste who has been used as a blood pack for several years..."
"It is no shame to be born in humble circumstances."
Uchiha Jun interrupted her, "Besides, the test I just conducted has proven your talent."
"There are still a few potential stocks like you in my organization. When the time comes, I can let Karin play with them."
"You will become familiar with it in the future."
"Yes, sir!"
Land of Iron, Sky Fortress.
Uchiha Jun waved his hand and smoothly placed Uzumaki Clan mother and daughter Xiangjiu, who were wrapped in chakra, onto the deck of Sky Fortress.
There is still some distance between Land of Grass and Land of Iron. Let the two of them walk all the way, and they don't know whether they will reach the Year of the Monkey or the Horse.
Uchiha Jun also directly enters Sage Transformation, releasing chakra and taking people to heaven.
"This is my base, Sky Fortress, you will live here from now on."
Uchiha Jun took the two of them to the gene bank of the fortress without any explanation.
It was a huge room with densely packed glass containers on the walls, which contained liquid samples of various colors.
Each container is labeled with the source and characteristics of the gene.
"I need genetic samples from you and your daughter to supplement my gene pool."
Uchiha Jun took out two special sampling needles and said, "Don't worry, it won't have any impact on your body."
Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu nodded without hesitation.
--There is no reason why a person who is willing to spend a million or two monthly salary to train her would harm her.
After the sampling was completed, Uchiha Jun first asked Chino to take Uzumaki Karin to leave and arrange a place to live, while he took Uzumaki Kagu to the deeper laboratory - the culture tank.
They were rows of huge glass jars filled with emerald-green nutrient solution, and some embryonic tissues could be faintly seen slowly squirming in the liquid.
"These are..." Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu covered her mouth subconsciously.
"Human experiments, you will be exposed to these in the future, so get used to it in advance."
Uchiha Jun said calmly, raising his hand to look for the scroll used to train Uzumaki Kagu from the bookshelf.
He is not a philanthropist, and the high rewards he pays to recruit his subordinates are not for charity.
When Uzumaki Kagu is trained, he will naturally work with Yakushi Nonō as an assistant to assist Uchiha Jun and Orochimaru in their human experiments.
"Yes!"
Hearing what Uchiha Jun said, Uzumaki Kagu was a little scared, but he still agreed.
I just hope that Uchiha Jun will not conduct human experiments on their mother and daughter.
"Don't worry." Uchiha Jun seemed to have read through her thoughts and turned around with a gentle smile, "I have always been generous to my partners. As long as you don't betray me, I won't treat you badly."
"Yes... yes!"
Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu nodded vigorously, feeling an unprecedented sense of belonging in his heart.
At the same time, in an underground cave thousands of miles away.
"Who... are you?"
Watching Uchiha Jun leave, Obito Uchiha turned his attention to the old Madara Uchiha.
His eyes were not as relaxed as before, only fearful.
"I, Madara Uchiha."
Uchiha Jun turned around, revealing a wrinkled but still majestic face.
A deep and dangerous light shone in those scarlet Sharingan.
"Uchiha Clan... Madara?" Obito Uchiha's voice became sharp due to shock, "No way! Madara is already dead!"
"Dead?" Madara Uchiha sneered, "Who told you that I am dead?"
Madara Uchiha walked slowly to Obito Uchiha and looked at this miserable young man who had just crawled back from the edge of death not long ago and was tortured by Uchiha Jun.
"Your current body was reshaped by me using Hashirama Cells. The reason why you are still alive is because I think you are still useful."
"You... why did you save me?"
"Because this world needs to be changed."
Madara Uchiha's voice became deep and seductive.
Then, he began to tell Eye of the Moon Plan to Obito, and Infinite Tsukuyomi, about a dream in which there is no war, no pain, and everyone can be happy.
Obito Uchiha could remain rational at first, but as Madara Uchiha told the story, his eyes gradually became blurred.
"Kakashi... Lin... If this world is really as painful as you said, then there is nothing wrong with creating a beautiful dream..."
"You finally understand." Madara Uchiha nodded with satisfaction.
"Well... but before taking action, I need to know some information."
"Huh?"
"Who is that Masked Man just now!"
Faced with Obito Uchiha's inquiry, Madara Uchiha was not surprised, but explained the 'personality' provided by Uchiha Jun to Obito Uchiha.
As for explaining the true identity of Uchiha Jun, Madara Uchiha has no plans to do so yet.
After all, with the strength Uchiha Jun has shown so far, if Obito Uchiha really gets something, Madara Uchiha really can't protect Obito Uchiha.
It's better to let Obito Uchiha be a fool and know nothing.
You can survive at least, right?
"... The masked man is--Uchiha Setsuna."
Obito Uchiha was stunned. "Uchiha Setsuna? That old-fashioned old antique?! Impossible! How could it be him..."
After hearing Madara Uchiha's explanation, Obito Uchiha couldn't believe it.
After all, in his impression, Uchiha Setsuna is a reclusive old-fashioned man with an unsmiling face all day long.
How could he be the same person as Masked Man, who just made fun of his own crotch and had an extremely bad personality?
"No." Madara Uchiha shook his head, "He is indeed Uchiha Setsuna, but he is not the original Uchiha Setsuna."
"What does it mean?"
"Uchiha Setsuna lost the fight with Uchiha Jun. Uchiha Jun hit him with a soul-related pupil technique, causing his soul to be distorted."
"Now Uchiha Setsuna, although the body is still the same body, the inner consciousness has become completely different."
"Uchiha Jun?!" Obito Uchiha frowned, "Did he also awaken Mangekyō Sharingan?!..."
"That's right." Madara Uchiha explained, "His Mangekyo pupil technique is very special. According to the information provided by Uchiha Setsuna, his pupil technique seems to be able to swallow the Sharingan of his tribe to strengthen himself."
"The reason why he was able to rise rapidly in a short period of time was because of this terrifying pupil technique."
"Swallow...Sharingan?!" Obito Uchiha took a breath of cold air.
Kamui has seen so many wheelchairs, but he never thought there are masters. This Mangekyo is indeed Mangekyo, each one is more powerful than the last!
It seems that we need to be more careful in the future.
"That's right." Madara Uchiha's expression became solemn, "So, you must be careful about him. If you let him know that you are still alive and have the power of Hashirama Cells, he will definitely attack you without hesitation."
"Then what should I do?"
"Don't reveal your identity for the time being." Madara Uchiha said, "Your task now is to learn Yin-Yang Release from me and master the power of Hashirama Cells."
"When the time is right, you can go to Amegakure as 'Madara Uchiha'."
"Uchiha Setsuna..." Obito Uchiha murmured and repeated the name, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
"This... this is too outrageous..." Obito Uchiha couldn't help complaining, "That Lao Deng was playing dirty jokes on me a few days ago, how could it be him?"
"Learn Yin-Yang Release first." Madara Uchiha stretched out his right hand, and a black substance condensed in his palm. "This is a brand-new power system, and it is also the key to your future fight against Uchiha Setsuna and Nagato."
"Got it."
Obito Uchiha nodded, and the anxiety in his heart was gradually replaced by an indescribable excitement.
Uchiha Setsuna, Nagato, Rinnegan, Eye of the Moon Plan...
He vaguely felt that a storm sweeping the entire Shinobi World was quietly brewing.
And he will become the core eye of this storm!
One week later, Sky Fortress, medical laboratory.
Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu stood in front of an experimental table, his hands covered with emerald green chakra light, injecting Life Force into a withered plant.
Her movements are precise and elegant, and every chakra release point is just right, as if she was born for Medical Ninjutsu.
"Not bad." Uchiha Jun stood aside and nodded with satisfaction, "In just one week, you have mastered the basic principles of Mystical Palm Technique. It seems that your talent is higher than I thought."
"This is all grown up by adults." Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu said respectfully.
After a week of getting along, she has completely accepted this boy who is more than ten years younger than her as the leader.
Not only because of his unfathomable strength, but also because of his unique leadership charm - he never treats people as tools, but treats everyone as a valuable asset that requires long-term investment.
Let them feel alive and hopeful!
"No need to be modest." Uchiha Jun waved his hand, "Your talent is real, but talent alone is not enough. You need systematic training."
He took out a thick scroll from his arms and handed it over.
"This is Medical Ninjutsu's advanced road map compiled by Orochimaru, as well as his experimental notes over the years. You can refer to the above content and combine it with your own Vortex Clan physique to find a path that suits you best."
Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu took the scroll, flipped through a few pages at random, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"This... this is..."
"Orochimaru combines some of Tsunade's technology and knowledge." Uchiha Jun said lightly, "It's that... medical master? It seems to be the title."
"Anyway, you just need to know that Tsunade's medical treatment is good."
"Okay, I'm optimistic about you. When you pass this assessment, your salary will be increased to three million taels per month. In addition, I will arrange a mentor for you."
"Bah bang bang."
Uchiha Jun clapped his hands, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and a woman wearing a white coat and glasses walked in.
"Sir Jun." Yakushi Nonō bowed respectfully.
"Who is this?" Uzumaki Clan Xiangjiu asked curiously.
"Her name is Yakushi Nonō, she is my medical ninja at Root." Uchiha Jun introduced, "From now on, she will be your partner. The two of you will be responsible for the construction of the medical force and personnel training."
Uchiha Jun explained, "Her research on Medical Ninjutsu is one of the best in the entire Shinobi World. With her help, you will grow much faster."
"Thank you, sir." Yakushi Nonō smiled modestly.
"Let's talk." Uchiha Jun waved his hand, "I'm going to see what's going on in the training pool."
After saying that, he turned and left the laboratory.
It is not easy to take time out of your busy schedule to bring Uzumaki Clan to Xiangjiang for a long time. If it were not for the heavy burden of the next experiment and the need for more researchers, Uchiha Jun really would not have ended up personally.
The culture tank is located on the bottom floor of the fortress. It is a huge underground space with dozens of huge glass jars inlaid on the four walls, filled with emerald green nutrient solution.
Uchiha Jun walked to the central console and tapped his fingers rapidly on the virtual keyboard.
Soon, a huge holographic screen appeared in front of him, showing the inside of each culture tank.
"Completeness of genetic sample collection: 87%."
"Embryo development progress: 23%."
"Estimated mass production time of Mangekyo: 5 days."
Looking at the data jumping on the screen, Uchiha Jun's mouth curved with a hint of satisfaction.
"Yes, everything is going according to plan."
"Jun-sama."
An assistant wearing a white research coat came forward, holding a data panel in his hand, and bowed slightly to Uchiha Jun.
"The meridian systems of all clones have been adjusted to the optimal fusion state, and the chakra circuits have been calibrated. Masters Lord Orochimaru and Hiruko are already waiting for you in the main laboratory."
Uchiha Jun took the panel, slender fingers quickly slid across the screen, and his eyes scanned the strings of data.
Number of animals cultivated: twelve.
Meridian fusion degree: average 97.3%.
Chakra circuit stability: Excellent.
Uchiha Jun nodded with satisfaction.
These twelve clones are the important cornerstones of his future plans.
"I know, tell Orochimaru and I'll be there right away."
"Yes."
After the assistant stepped back, Uchiha Jun glanced at the culture tank below again, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
In this Shinobi World, power is everything.
And what he wants is not only his own power, but also a power system that can change the entire Shinobi World pattern!
Uchiha Jun turned and left, the sound of footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
The main laboratory is on the third underground floor of the base, which is deeper and more secret than the training room.
Uchiha Jun As you walk down the spiral staircase, you can feel that the air is becoming more and more humid and the temperature is getting higher and higher.
There was a dim lamp embedded every few meters on the wall, making his shadow very long.
When he opened the door to the laboratory, a strong smell of blood and chemicals hit his face.
Orochimaru is standing in front of the experimental table, holding a test tube filled with purple liquid in his hand, shaking it gently under the light.
His golden vertical pupils shone brightly in the dim light, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.
"Junjun, you are here."
Orochimaru put down the test tube and turned around with that iconic smile on his face, which was both flattering and dangerous.
"I've seen the cultivation of clones, and it's very good."
Uchiha Jun walked to the experimental table, picked up a test tube and looked at it, "You are indeed good at this."
"Hehehe... It's my honor to receive your praise."
Orochimaru licked his lips, "However, compared to those half-finished clones, I think today's plan is more interesting!!"
"Bah bang bang!"
Orochimaru clapped his hands.
On the wall of the laboratory, a secret door slowly opened, revealing another room at the back.
In the center of that room, there was a person standing.
In other words, a person who is waiting.
Hiruko stood in the center of the room, his hands trembling slightly.
Not out of fear, but out of excitement.
He has been waiting for this day for too long.
From the time he was at Konoha, he knew the gap between himself and Sannin.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade--these three people are like three mountains, pressing on his head, so that he can only live in their shadow forever.
He is not talented enough, does not have Kekkei Genkai, and does not have a strong family background. His only advantage is that he works harder than others!
But in this world where talent determines everything, hard work is often the least valuable bargaining chip!
So he began to study forbidden arts.
Chimera Technique--This forbidden technique that can rob others Kekkei Genkai is the crystallization of his lifelong efforts.
As long as he can complete this technique, he will be able to obtain a variety of Kekkei Genkai in one fell swoop and become one of the top experts.
