"So, you need to catch those with ill intentions hidden in the shadows, who deliberately concealed information?"
Yuuki nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, that's right!"
Shisui, however, asked with a skeptical look, "Yuuki, you're not lying to me, are you? Even I only found out today that you secretly left Konoha. How could those people know you weren't here?"
Yuuki said with a brilliant smile, "This is part of the plan, Shisui, I wouldn't lie to you!"
Seeing Yuuki's sincere eyes, Shisui believed Yuuki once again.
"Alright then, but I want to participate in this operation too!"
Yuuki naturally wouldn't refuse.
"No problem, Shisui, you are my only friend, and only you still treat me as a friend after I become Hokage. You are the person I trust the most, so how could this operation be without you!"
Shisui also nodded.
"Yuuki, please sit for a while. I'll go tidy up your room."
Then, Shisui's figure disappeared.
Watching Shisui's figure vanish instantly, Yuuki's eyes also showed a hint of envy.
Flying Thunder God is really cool!
At the same time, at Yuuki's home.
Natsuri, who had gone to bed early, tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Although she acted as if nothing had happened after leaving, Natsuri was still preoccupied.
After class, she still played and joked with her classmates, but her heart was always burdened with worries.
Yuuki's behavior today made Natsuri mature all at once.
She was about to become a Ninja, and she couldn't be carefree every day anymore. She also needed to do something for this family.
Thinking about how Yuuki seemed like two different people in the afternoon, and how he wouldn't come home even though he had clearly returned to Konoha.
Natsuri made a decision in her heart: as long as she could help her brother, even a deal with the devil was fine.
She turned over and lay flat on the bed.
Her gaze at the ceiling slowly began to focus, eventually becoming exceptionally firm.
Then, Natsuri made no movement, but her eyes, looking at the ceiling, lost focus again.
----------
The next day.
Shisui left for work early in the morning.
As the strongest entertainment mogul in the Ninja World, Shisui's operating hours had become extremely rare, but they weren't nonexistent.
More of his energy was focused on managing his artists.
For example, Shisui was already at the Land of Water headquarters, dealing with various documents.
And Yuuki, who had amassed the vast business alliance formed by the Uchiha Clan, various Ninja Clans of Konoha, the Konoha Military Police Force, and even the entire power of Konoha, was bored stiff!
After a rare sleep-in until ten o'clock, and having prepared and eaten some food, Yuuki used the Transformation Jutsu and headed towards the laboratory.
Not long after, Yuuki arrived in front of a large building.
The laboratory was no longer the small, dilapidated house it once was.
There were quite a few researchers now; after all, there were more and more projects, and it couldn't be compared to the past.
In Yuuki's current disguise, he naturally couldn't enter the laboratory building.
Yuuki closed his eyes and activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Keigetsu, come out and pick me up!"
Keigetsu, who was playing little tricks in a spacious office, suddenly heard Yuuki's voice.
Clan Head?
Although she didn't understand why Yuuki didn't just walk in himself, Keigetsu immediately set off.
When she came out and saw the only unfamiliar person outside the laboratory building, Keigetsu discreetly led Yuuki into the laboratory.
As for why Yuuki used the Transformation Jutsu, Keigetsu had no intention of investigating.
Although as a researcher, she possessed an indispensable curiosity, such matters were clearly not among Keigetsu's points of curiosity.
She led Yuuki to Sasori's location.
Sasori had his own independent laboratory, equipped with various monitoring devices, and surrounded by seals.
Yuuki had never trusted Sasori, after all, Sasori was not a child anymore.
Although Sasori had been very obedient and honest these past few years, what if Sasori was faking it?
Yuuki adopted completely different approaches for different people. For adults like Sasori, he should use methods for adults; the tricks used on children were useless.
Yuuki dispelled his Transformation Jutsu upon entering, and Sasori naturally saw the culprit who now treated him like a prisoner.
Sasori wasn't confined to the laboratory working all day; he could go out whenever he wanted. He had the same salary and holidays as other researchers.
But what was it like to walk around Konoha with a large group of uniformed guards?
After experiencing it a few times, Sasori stopped going out, at most just wandering around inside the laboratory building.
The main thing was that there wasn't much to see in Konoha, even though Konoha had undergone tremendous changes in recent years.
All sorts of unprecedented new and exciting things had appeared in Konoha, things that might not even be seen elsewhere.
But who was Sasori? Most of those strange and novel gadgets were things he had tinkered with himself.
Those circulating in the market were factory-produced and far from comparable to what he crafted by hand in the laboratory.
As for gourmet food and the like, Sasori was completely estranged from it. Walking around Konoha, besides attracting a lot of curious stares, he found nothing else interesting.
Sasori naturally didn't have a good attitude towards Yuuki, saying indifferently, "Isn't this the newly appointed Hokage-sama? Do you have any new missions to assign?"
Yuuki didn't care about Sasori's attitude at all. As long as you're willing to work, you can say whatever you want!
He took out another sealed scroll from his embrace, unsealed it, and pulled out a pile of documents.
He selected one and handed it to Sasori.
"How long will it take to manufacture this instrument?"
Sasori took the blueprint and examined it carefully, becoming more and more surprised as he looked.
This design was simply too exquisite!
After a long while, Sasori put down the blueprint, looked up at Yuuki, and asked, "Who designed this blueprint? What is the purpose of this instrument?"
Yuuki looked at Sasori with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, which immediately angered Sasori.
What kind of look was that?!
Wasn't it the same look he sometimes gave Keigetsu and the other researchers in the laboratory?
There was no difference!
Sasori felt extremely uncomfortable being looked at with such an expression by Yuuki, whom Sasori considered even more idiotic than an idiot.
After all, in Sasori's mind, Yuuki was truly more idiotic than an idiot, much like the disdain all technical personnel have for ignorant clients.
In Yuuki's previous life, in the eyes of most technical personnel, clients were nothing but money.
In Sasori's eyes, Yuuki was nothing but strength.
Ultimately, Sasori realized he had asked two foolish questions.
Yuuki saw Sasori's change and, knowing that he understood his meaning, asked again, "Can you do it? How long will it take?"
"Yes! I don't know!"
Yuuki asked again, "Under my full support?"
Sasori pondered for a moment and replied definitively, "Half a month!"
Yuuki nodded, then used the Transformation Jutsu and left Sasori's laboratory.
Watching the sealed laboratory door close tightly again.
Sasori's eyes showed a subtle change!
