Chapter 350 - 348 Danzo Shimura said earnestly

Danzo Shimura said earnestly. The meticulous Uchiha Hikaji didn't notice the schadenfreude in his eyes; looking at the documents on the desk, he swallowed hard, and cold sweat began to flow.

Although Danzo Shimura didn't really want people from the Uchiha Clan to enter the Konoha high-ranking officials, the feeling of having someone share the workload was simply too great!

Once Uchiha Hikaji became familiar with the work, he could push even more work onto him!

Danzo Shimura even began to imagine his life after retirement. Whoever wants this lousy position of Assistant Hokage can have it!

Why does it feel like... he's very happy?

Uchiha Hikaji looked at the briskly walking Danzo Shimura and thought he might have sensed wrongly.

On the first day, Uchiha Hikaji spent his time processing documents and reports...

On the second day, Uchiha Hikaji was still processing documents and reports...

The third day...

The fourth day...

Why is there so much work?!

Uchiha Hikaji was starting to find the documents and reports on his desk unbearable.

To do the job of Assistant Hokage well, he had specifically chosen Uchiha Fugaku—who was talented, capable, and quite prestigious among the younger generation—to succeed him as the captain of the Uchiha Military Police Force, so he could devote himself entirely to his work...

As a result, after all these days, the documents and reports showed no sign of decreasing!

His arm was sore from all the stamping!

Uchiha Hikaji felt he had been tricked. If he had known the work of the Assistant Hokage was this troublesome, he wouldn't have taken it no matter what!

Land of Wind, Hidden Sand Village.

The operation led by the Third Kazekage almost caused a disaster. Now, there was an irreparable rift between Sunagakure, the Land of Rain, and the Baishe Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

The Third Kazekage felt he was to blame and wanted to resign from his position as Kazekage, but unfortunately, there was no one in the Hidden Sand Village who could succeed him. He had to continue as the Kazekage as a sinner of the Hidden Sand Village.

Chiyo, who had been locked in prison, was released. She walked down the street with a numb expression. The war was over, but her home was gone forever; she had lost her last family members.

Sunagakure's act of tearing up the alliance treaty would surely infuriate Konoha. She couldn't even see Akagitsune and the others for the last time, nor her young grandson.

Chiyo looked up. A gust of wind blew, kicking up yellow sand everywhere. Her figure walking through the sand appeared exceptionally desolate and lonely.

Chiyo returned home after a long time, and it wasn't hard to see that someone had been cleaning the house.

Was it Ebizo?

Chiyo sighed. Just then, a puppet bird landed on the windowsill, its movements agile as it pecked at the window, making a thumping sound.

This is...

Chiyo's eyes widened, a flash of surprise appearing in them as she recognized it as Akagitsune and Eryu's contact puppet bird!

She hurriedly opened the window, and the puppet bird landed in her hand. She pressed a mechanism on the bird's belly, and a small slip of paper fell into her hand. There were very few words on the slip, but they caused a ripple in her heart, which had been like stagnant water.

"That's great... that's really great..."

Tears dripped onto the paper. Chiyo gripped the slip tightly; she had thought she would never have the chance to see Akagitsune, Eryu, and Sasori again in this lifetime.

Soon, Chiyo learned that Akagitsune and Eryu had given up their status as Suna Ninjas to join Konoha and become Konoha Ninjas.

To this, she didn't show a hint of anger. Even when the Third Kazekage asked her what she thought, she remained silent and didn't say a word.

Even if the people around her were looking at her with strange eyes, she wouldn't say a single bad thing about Akagitsune and Eryu. In this matter, it was Sunagakure that owed their family.

It wasn't that they had failed Sunagakure!

Island Experimental Base

In the Laboratory, Si looked at the deep red liquid in the test tube in her hand. This was a serum made from her modified Hashirama cells, and this dosage was something only Uchiha Madara, as the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, could withstand. Any other member of the Uchiha Clan might not be able to bear it.

If injected into the body recklessly, the final result would be the Hashirama cells taking root and sprouting within that person's body, bursting out as if they had been hit by the Cutting Technique.

"Si, you really want to extend Madara's life? I have to remind you that extending Madara's life will have very serious consequences. He won't easily give up on the Eye of the Moon Plan, and you know what kind of consequences that plan will cause."

Black Zetsu emerged from the ground, once again advising Si to give up on extending Uchiha Madara's life.

It really wanted to use Si's hand to get rid of Uchiha Madara, but no matter what it said, Si didn't change her mind.

"Black Zetsu, this is already the 23rd time. I'll answer you one last time: I will not break my promise. I have few virtues, but one of the few is that I keep my word. Once I've decided on something, I will definitely see it through."

Si plugged the test tube with a cork and put it into a cold storage box for preservation.

"I know you're worried that the old geezer will affect our plan to save the Rabbit Goddess, but I have a different view from you. I don't think he'll be an obstacle."

Si waved her hand and urged, "Go call the old geezer in. If the research progress is any slower, that old geezer might have already died in that big rat hole."

"I understand. Don't forget our plan, Si."

Black Zetsu returned to the ground helplessly.

Mountain Graveyard

Uchiha Madara's body was aging day by day; he couldn't even drive his beloved fiery red car around anymore.

Now, that fiery red car was parked in the hands of the Gedo Statue, and he stared at it every day.

"Madara, I'm back."

Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"How is it?"

Uchiha Madara asked. He didn't hold much hope; how could researching Hashirama cells be completed overnight?

"Si told you to go to her Laboratory. The modification of the Hashirama cells is complete."

Zetsu replied.

"Zetsu, take me there."

Uchiha Madara used the scythe connected to the chain at the end of his Uchiha War Fan as a cane to stand up.

Just devour Madara like this...

Black Zetsu had the thought of killing Uchiha Madara, but after hesitating, it gave up. Based on Si's research progress, she would soon be able to separate Mother from the Gedo Statue; there was no need to do anything extra at a time like this.
