Compared to the battlefield in Kumogakure, the situation in the Land of Rain had suddenly become eerily quiet.
In the past few days, the ninjas from the major villages had not launched any attacks. They seemed to be observing…
Observing the changes on the battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools!!
Until finally, the four villages would join forces to launch a full-scale assault on Konoha.
As for the Land of Whirlpools' defensive line…
"The last batch!" Uzumaki Jun stretched lazily and looked at Uzumaki Hibiki, asking, "Do you want me to send you to the Land of Whirlpools first?"
In any case, he wouldn't be leaving with the airship.
It was simply too slow—a round trip would take four or five days. He wasn't in the mood for a leisurely sky tour, and besides…
He already knew the Light-Weight Rock Technique, so he could fly anytime he wanted!!
"No need," Uzumaki Hibiki shook his head and said, "I'll go with the airship. If anything unexpected happens, I can help!"
"If that's the case…" Uzumaki Jun nodded helplessly. Everyone was so motivated…
Except for him…
He was like a salted fish!!
"Notify me if anything comes up!" Uzumaki Jun said. "I'll head back to the Land of Whirlpools first."
Then, he immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Land of Whirlpools.
Currently, the Land of Whirlpools was also bustling with construction efforts. The only issue was the insufficient chakra reserves, which made it impossible to build a chakra power station to supply electricity to the entire country. For now, only streetlights and government offices had electricity.
"If there's really no other way, we'll have to resort to hydroelectric power stations."
The problem was that the Land of Whirlpools lacked suitable water resources for building hydroelectric stations.
"Oh? Why are you here?" Just as Uzumaki Jun returned to his office, he noticed the androgynous figure in front of him and asked curiously, "Has the branch company started operating smoothly?"
Had they already recruited people in just a few days?
"Not yet," Zetsu shook his head and said, "Following your suggestion, I started with the common people. Since it's wartime now, I've been slowly working among the refugees."
To be honest, this method was quite effective. There were always people in the ninja world who longed for peace, so quite a few rogue ninjas had already joined.
"Oh?" Uzumaki Jun looked at Zetsu curiously and asked, "I haven't even asked about your organization's name yet."
He was really curious. The methods he had taught Zetsu for overthrowing the ninja world's system might snowball in a few years and pose a threat to other nations in the ninja world!
"The Rabbit Goddess Cult," Zetsu said calmly. "A goddess who brings hope and peace to the ninja world!"
"..."
This name…
Uzumaki Jun didn't even know how to react. Truly a filial son of a thousand years!!
He was really going all out for Kaguya!
But…
Aren't you afraid of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra wandering around the ninja world noticing something?
"What a great name. By the way, why did you come looking for me?" Uzumaki Jun decided it was best to play dumb. Otherwise, if Zetsu realized he already knew his goals, something unexpected might happen.
"Lord Madara wants to see you," Zetsu said, nodding in satisfaction after hearing Uzumaki Jun's praise.
Of course, Mother's name sounded good!!
Hearing Zetsu's words, Uzumaki Jun froze for a moment and asked, "Now?"
Why would Boss Madara, who should be sleeping right now, want to see him?
Was he planning something again?
"Yes," Zetsu nodded. "It's best to go now. After all, you shouldn't keep Lord Madara waiting."
"Alright," Uzumaki Jun thought for a moment and nodded. "Then I'll trouble you to guide me again."
Right now, he wasn't afraid of anyone. He might as well go see what the boss had planned.
...
Land of Whirlpools…
Research Institute.
"This is truly amazing!!" The Great Elder, along with a group of researchers, stared at Samehada and said, "What kind of creature is this? It can actually absorb chakra?"
And…
It's picky!!
The researchers nearby also nodded and discussed among themselves, "This… unique method might give us some inspiration."
"Oh?" The Great Elder walked over and asked curiously, "I remember the Sky Ninja Village also had a way to absorb others' chakra."
"And it was forced absorption!"
"Yes, Great Elder," a researcher from the Sky Ninja Village stepped forward and said, "The Sky Ninja Village's Ugō Fortress and the artificial tailed beast project used this technology."
"But in the end…" Another researcher shook his head with a bitter smile. They had just made some progress when the Sky Ninja Village was destroyed.
"It's fine," the Great Elder narrowed his eyes and said to them, "Researching in the Land of Whirlpools is the same."
What bold words!!
Even artificial tailed beasts? If they hadn't been destroyed by Konoha, they would've been wiped out by other villages sooner or later.
Tailed beasts…
Were not something ordinary people could possess!
"I remember all the data was brought here," the Great Elder said cheerfully. "Perhaps this Samehada can give us some help?"
"Yes!!"
...
Cave.
"You're here?" Madara opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the red-haired boy in front of him. "I'll have to trouble you."
"Are we leaving now?" Uzumaki Jun nodded helplessly. On his way back, he had heard from Zetsu and Tobi that Boss Madara was tired of staying in the cave and wanted to go out for a walk.
Probably because the living conditions in the cave were poor, the food was bad, and the lack of sunlight for long periods had given Boss Madara osteoporosis. He wanted to go out and sunbathe before returning.
As for why he needed Uzumaki Jun to come?
It was because Boss Madara was now so frail he could barely walk steadily and couldn't move around for long. Thus, he needed Uzumaki Jun's Flying Thunder God Technique to take him outside. And…
With the war raging everywhere outside, if he wasn't careful, this true "equal to the God of Shinobi" Madara might end up dead at the hands of some third-rate ninja.
After all, even Uzumaki Mito, known for her longevity, was now confined to her bed, waiting for Hashirama to come for her, let alone Madara…
Without Hashirama's cells and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Madara would've died long ago.
"Where to first?" Uzumaki Jun frowned and asked. "It's chaos everywhere outside right now!"
Since he was playing the role of a ride-hailing service, he might as well be professional about it.
Consider it respecting the elderly…
"Let's go to the Land of Whirlpools first," Madara said with a sigh, narrowing his eyes. "It's been so many years since I last visited the Land of Whirlpools."
"Let's see how it's changed."
"..."
Going to the Land of Whirlpools?
Can I refuse??
Suddenly having a big boss visit the Land of Whirlpools made Uzumaki Jun feel a bit nervous!!
But…
Would the ideology of the Land of Whirlpools be able to change Boss Madara's mindset?
Uzumaki Jun narrowed his eyes.
It sounded interesting. Coincidentally, the Land of Whirlpools was short on taijutsu teachers, and Boss Madara's taijutsu was exceptionally strong. He could have him teach taijutsu at the academy. Given his advanced age, he'd only need to teach two-hour classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. As for the rest of the time…
He could just rest and recuperate!!
"Alright," Uzumaki Jun said with a smile.
