Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nono had already arrived at the Uchiha clan grounds two days ago.
On the way, Rengoku had already told him about Orochimaru's existence, and also mentioned that Kabuto would later be assigned to assist Orochimaru.
As for Guren by Orochimaru's side, she had already been sent back to the Sound Ninja Village by Orochimaru.
Guren was very strong; with her holding down the Sound Ninja Village, it was more than enough.
Also, a group of Uchiha personnel had already arrived at the Sound Ninja Village.
They could quickly help the Sound Ninja Village snatch missions from surrounding countries.
After all, the Uchiha clan was already the number one prestigious family in the ninja world, and now there were even faint rumors that Uchiha Rengoku was the strongest man in the ninja world.
Everyone was eager for Uchiha to take their missions.
Even though small ninja villages didn't offer high profits, it was still better than nothing.
On Orochimaru's side, the laboratory layout had already been initially planned.
Now Rengoku also wanted to build a hospital inside the Uchiha clan grounds.
He directly included Orochimaru's laboratory within it.
With a hospital present, many experiments would also be much more convenient.
After all, in this world there were plenty of people with broken limbs and in poverty. Many were willing to test drugs, willing to be researched.
Nono had brought everyone from the orphanage, completely relocating them into the Uchiha clan grounds.
Now her daily treatments had already begun.
Though the orphanage children were young, when it came to bandaging, applying medicine, and IV drips, they were skilled.
Uchiha Izumi and the few clan members who knew medical ninjutsu were also assigned to Nono for unified training.
The Uchiha now finally had people who could use medical ninjutsu.
At least many injured clan members didn't have to force themselves to endure anymore.

Gaara had a long, long dream. In the dream, there was no always-noisy Shukaku the One-Tail. In the dream, he saw the woman who had held him. That woman's face was unclear, but Gaara still felt that woman loved him.
'Love?'
'Love?'
'Impossible, no one in this world loves me at all!'
Gaara suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce light flashing across them.
But as he opened his eyes, he just discovered that he was lying on a hospital bed, with no one around.
There was an IV needle inserted in his arm.
Gaara was shocked.
'How could this be?'
He had always been protected by sand, never injured.
This kind of IV drip was also a first for him.
'This is the feeling of pain?'
Gaara didn't feel much pain, just a swelling sensation.
And the feeling of IV fluid entering was also a first experience for him.
Creak!
The door opened. A boy wearing round glasses walked in from outside the door.
"Oh, you're awake. Looks like I don't need to change the nutrient solution," Orochimaru was still preparing things on his end, and Kabuto had been assigned by Rengoku to take care of Gaara.
Gaara had already slept for eight full days. If Orochimaru hadn't said he was fine, Rengoku would've already slapped him awake with two blows.
But sleep was one thing, if they hadn't intervened, Gaara might have starved to death.
So they had directly administered nutrient injections.
Gaara watched Kabuto approach to remove the needle with vigilance.
He waved his hand, but there was no reaction from sand.
Gaara was somewhat dazed, 'Where is my sand?'
Kabuto smiled, directly stopped the IV drip, and pulled out the needle.
"Hold this," Saying this, he took a cotton swab and pressed it on Gaara's needle puncture.
Gaara hesitated slightly and held the cotton swab to press on his hand.
He had never done this kind of thing before. But his mind right now felt unprecedentedly at ease, and he couldn't hear Shukaku's voice at all. His own bloodthirstiness had greatly diminished.
"Lord Rengoku told me that once you woke up, I should take you to see him."
Gaara looked confused, "Who is that?"
Kabuto pointed at Gaara's stomach, "The one who sealed the tailed beast for you."
Gaara's expression trembled, 'Shukaku has been sealed, which is why there is no voice?'
———
When Kabuto took Gaara to find Rengoku....
Rengoku was sitting in the clan leader's office, which was Fugaku's house.
"Rengoku, once the hospital is built, we'll also build you a large mansion. From now on, these matters will be handled from your own home," The speaker was Great Elder Kairen. Although he had long wanted Rengoku to take over the clan leader's position,
Rengoku was still somewhat young. He had originally planned to let Fugaku retire in one or two more years.
Unexpectedly, Rengoku directly gave them a huge surprise this time.
He beat up the Kumogakure's Jinchuriki and Raikage so badly they were searching the ground for their teeth.
With such terrifying battle records as a foundation, the clan members' worship of Rengoku had reached an unparalleled level.
It could be said this was the best time to assume the clan leader's position.
Now, everyone was explaining the clan leader responsibilities to Rengoku.
Rengoku, along with Fugaku, the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were all present.
Hearing Kairen's words, Rengoku waved his hand, "No need for now."
"Since everyone has no objection to me becoming clan leader, I'll talk about the plans for our Uchiha clan moving forward."
Fugaku and the elders all sat upright. After all, this was Rengoku's first speech as clan leader.
"As for the eye techniques of me and Fugaku, you all probably know a bit."
"We can continuously peer into the future of things that have not yet happened."
"So, Fugaku and I have both seen that we will encounter very powerful enemies in the future."
"Enemies strong enough that we can't resist with our current strength."
"All of our clan members must now work hard to train, striving to not become cannon fodder in the future."
The elders looked at each other, not knowing what Rengoku was talking about.
"Rengoku, can you be more specific?"
Rengoku activated the Mangekyo Sharingan.
In an instant, everyone's world began to distort, and Rengoku dragged everyone into a genjutsu at that moment.
"This is the future ten years from now."
Immediately below began the broadcast of scenes from the Fourth Great Ninja War, with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path crazily reaping lives.
Fugaku's expression was shaken. Rengoku was right, they could peer into the future through their eye techniques.
But even if his eye power was a flash, it shouldn't be able to peer ten years ahead.
It seemed Rengoku's Mangekyo was different from his own, but he didn't say anything about it.
While standing in the air with everyone, he explained what Uchiha Madara's conspiracy was.
And that the Fourth Great Ninja War would definitely happen in the future.
Rengoku didn't let everyone watch for long and directly deactivated the eye technique. After all, this all consumed eye power.
After Fugaku and the elders woke from the illusion, their faces still carried astonishment and surprise.
"You don't need to ask too much now, since the future has too many variables."
"In short, we must accumulate and enhance our strength as much as possible."
"As for affairs, whatever you elders were previously responsible for, nothing changes."
"Fugaku, whatever you used to do, continue doing it now."
"In the ninja academy, I'll also try to train more capable individuals."
