Encounter

But considering that even Naruto had not been born yet, it was questionable how old Deidara could be. So Kenichi Amamiya temporarily gave up on the idea of seeking out Deidara to recruit talent.

Besides, when it came to gathering talented people...

Kenichi Amamiya thought of a child he had once glimpsed by chance. The child seemed to be working for Danzo and looked somewhat like Kabuto.

Kenichi Amamiya shook his head. Even if it really was Kabuto, Danzo had already taken an interest in him. He probably could not get him anytime soon, so he could only take things one step at a time.

"How are the experiment records?" Orochimaru's voice interrupted Kenichi Amamiya's thoughts. He hurriedly handed the experiment notebook in his hands to Orochimaru.

Only after his teacher finished reading it and nodded in satisfaction did Kenichi Amamiya breathe a small sigh of relief. Then he followed his teacher out of the Test Base.

The Hidden Leaf Village was relatively peaceful at the moment. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had already demonstrated his strength in the previous war, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had yet to grow old and frail.

It could be said that the Hidden Leaf Village currently possessed considerable combat power. Even the Raikage of Kumogakure had shown no hostile intentions toward Konoha.

"But being targeted by Obito seems even worse, doesn't it?" Kenichi Amamiya rubbed his chin. Hot-blooded young people like that were always the biggest headache.

If Obito had been willing to communicate privately and understand the situation, perhaps the plot of the Ninja World would have turned out differently.

And whenever Kenichi Amamiya thought of Obito's eye with Kamui, he felt rather envious. That was Kamui—a powerful ocular technique. More importantly, it was incredibly convenient!

The Kamui Dimension seemed quite spacious. If he could obtain Kamui, would he not be able to build a completely independent laboratory of his own? And it would be very safe as well.

Unfortunately, the Sharingan's ocular techniques were born from the strongest desire an Uchiha Clan member felt when they were stimulated, so they could not be precisely controlled.

And frankly speaking, Kenichi Amamiya was not all that certain whether he could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan himself.

"Obito's eye is a Mangekyo and possesses Kamui, while Kakashi's eye also has Kamui. In theory, studying either of their eyes should produce the same results." Kenichi Amamiya casually bought two skewers of Dango and took a bite.

Dango tasted quite good.

But just as he was about to eat the other skewer, Kenichi Amamiya sensed an intense gaze. He could not help turning his head to look. Ninjas were quite sensitive to being watched.

And with that look, Kenichi Amamiya saw a little brat staring longingly at the Dango in his hand.

A little brat from the Uchiha Clan. The emblem on his clothes was highly recognizable.

"...Want some?" Kenichi Amamiya asked the Uchiha child before him. There were no shortage of young ninjas these days. The boy looked quite well-behaved, though Kenichi Amamiya did not know who he had come out with.

The boy nodded instinctively, then hurriedly shook his head. Kenichi Amamiya did not know whether to laugh or cry. So did he want to eat it or not?

Still, Kenichi Amamiya handed over the Dango in his hand. After hesitating for a while, the boy accepted it and shyly said thank you.

"Itachi, why did you run off to a place like this?" An anxious voice rang out. Then an Uchiha Clan Ninja landed beside the Little Boy and glanced at Kenichi Amamiya.

Kenichi Amamiya still wore the expression of someone teasing a child, but inwardly, he was rather surprised.

This child was actually Itachi Uchiha, the man who had orchestrated the Clan Annihilation Night and the person Sasuke had hated for a long time.

Itachi Uchiha would be very powerful in the future, but he was still just a child now. What caught Kenichi Amamiya's attention even more was the Uchiha before him.

Shisui Uchiha.

A Genius ninja, but in Kenichi Amamiya's view, Shisui Uchiha's most formidable asset was still his Mangekyō Sharingan. Kotoamatsukami was simply absurd as a genjutsu.

If that thing's cooldown was very short, Shisui Uchiha could probably have truly achieved peace in the Ninja World.

"I saw him staring at the Dango in my hand, so I gave him a skewer." Kenichi Amamiya explained with a smile. Although he knew that the man before him was Shisui Uchiha, Kenichi Amamiya was not particularly worried.

There was no way Shisui Uchiha would use Kotoamatsukami on him, even if he suddenly lost his mind. Besides, he did not look very old. Whether he had even awakened the Mangekyo was still a question.

"Thank you." Shisui Uchiha was very polite, but he did not lower his guard. After taking Itachi away, he used his own methods to check it. Only after confirming there was no poison did he relax somewhat.

Kenichi Amamiya did not have much of a reaction to running into Shisui Uchiha and Itachi. After all, Konoha was very peaceful now, and after the Fourth took office, the Uchiha Clan's circumstances had eased somewhat.

Minato Namikaze was also wary of the Uchiha Clan, but he was not like Danzo, who wanted them gone as quickly as possible.

Shisui was rather unfortunate, though. A powerful genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami should have been used on Danzo. It was not necessary to make Danzo immediately become utterly loyal to the Uchiha Clan; even making him adopt a friendly attitude toward them would have been enough.

Then the Uchiha Clan would not have been forced to the point of rebellion, nor would they have been isolated by the entire village and ultimately annihilated.

"Kotoamatsukami... Tsk, tsk. I really want it." Kenichi Amamiya licked his lips. Kotoamatsukami was too powerful, practically a strategic-level weapon. Used well, it could even change the situation of The Entire World.

Kenichi Amamiya shook his head. Those thoughts were still far too unrealistic. What he needed to do now was develop slowly, then dominate the Ninja World, and finally take down the Otsutsuki Clan.

He would study These Guys' spaceship technology and other sciences. Then the entire Ninja World could undergo an enormous transformation.

If everything went smoothly, Naruto's son would not need to struggle to become fuel. Kenichi Amamiya himself could turn the Otsutsuki Clan into fuel for the Ninja World.

Of course, for now, he still had to take things one bite at a time.

After finishing dinner and stopping by the bookstore to see whether Icha Icha Paradise had been released, Kenichi Amamiya went to find his teacher.

He wanted to try using Impure World Reincarnation to summon the First. Having his teacher there as a safeguard would naturally be best.

Once he confirmed that he could dismiss the First's Impure World Reincarnation at any time, he could begin his study plan.

I was banned before, and I have no idea why...
