Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Don't you see the sign over there?"

After just a moment of hesitation, Senju Tobirama quickly adjusted himself and fastened his belt. He turned around and looked at Uchiha Madara, whose eyes were red with anger. He pointed to a place not far away with a normal expression.
Uchiha Madara looked in the direction pointed by Senju Tobirama and saw a brand new sign. With his better eyesight, he could see two big letters at a glance:

【W.C】

ヽ(#`Д)┌┛〃

"It was clearly just inserted!"

Uchiha Madara kicked the toilet sign that had just been produced in the morning away. The veins on his forehead were about to burst with blood. The soil under the sign was so fresh that it must be someone's work.

"indeed so."

Unexpectedly, Senju Tobirama admitted it openly, which caught Uchiha Madara off guard. With his eyes blazing, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists until they made a creaking sound.
"How do you want to die?"

"Wait, let me finish what I have to say first."

Senju Tobirama raised his hand, and the serious expression on his face did not seem fake.

"I caught you in the act, what else do you have to say?"

"As the pillar tourism project of Konoha Village, the Valley of the End has always been the focus of development and protection of the village. Many tourists have previously complained that the basic facilities here are not up to par, so I drafted several drafts for infrastructure, and this toilet is one of them."

"You think I'd believe it?"

Seeing what Senju Tobirama said in a serious tone, Uchiha Madara was so angry that he almost passed out. "Just to piss on my head, you white-haired guy really knows how to talk nonsense."

"Here I have a development project signed and sealed by my eldest brother."

I saw Senju Tobirama slowly took out a stack of red-headed documents from his body, rummaged through them for a while, pulled out one of them and threw it to Uchiha Madara who was gritting his teeth.

"This"

It was indeed the handwriting of Hashirama Senju, and the project was exactly the planning list for the new public toilet in the Valley of the End.

"I don't lie to fools~"

"and many more!"

Uchiha Madara suddenly discovered the blind spot, pointed at the public toilet specifications written on the document, and asked loudly,
"Why are the specifications of your public toilet different from those in the documents?"

The document indicated that it was a spacious and bright modern public toilet with complete water supply and drainage, but what was before him was clearly an open-air dry toilet.

"Alas, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Konoha's finances are tight, so we have to make the public toilet sign first. As for the main structure, we need to wait for the funds to arrive."

"So that's how it is, I was wrong about you, wait!"

Senju Tobirama shook his head in confusion. His distressed look almost fooled Uchiha Madara. Fortunately, his eldest cousin was also a high-ranking figure and knew about Konoha's financial problems. He immediately threw the documents in his hand away.
"There's so much money in Konoha's accounts, and you tell me the money to repair the public toilets won't be available in time?"

"tsk"

With a curled mouth, Senju Tobirama secretly clicked his tongue, and his expression became somewhat erratic.
“The current approval process is rather cumbersome, and it is normal for funding to be delayed occasionally.”

Spouting such nonsense that no one would believe it, Senju Tobirama cursed the shipping company he had invested in on his own initiative.

It was clearly agreed that the investment would be recovered in three years and take off in five years, but more than ten years have passed. Apart from the first wave of dividends, all he has seen are the tea and cakes sent during festivals.

"Hmph~ When Hasila Ma gets better, I will definitely check the accounts with him to see if Konoha has any red-eyed, white-haired rats."

Uchiha Madara seemed to have sensed Senju Tobirama's guilty conscience. He did not expect that this trip would have an unexpected gain. He finally caught the white-haired man's braid. So he picked up the documents and put them away. He planned to go back and check the whereabouts of the funds since the village was built after this matter was over.

As for the fact that Tobirama Senju urinated on the head of his statue, Uchiha Madara naturally would not let it go like that. Once this guy's corruption was discovered, he would definitely make him lick this place clean.

"As expected, he is an evil Uchiha by nature. Just his eyes make me feel uncomfortable."

He didn't understand why Uchiha Madara suddenly gave up on pursuing his behavior of venting his anger on his statue's head, and instead looked at him with a strange look in his eyes. The expression in his eyes made Senju Tobirama feel a little terrified.

The conflict between the two ended temporarily, and the atmosphere fell into silence. Uchiha Madara disliked the strong smell above his head, so he jumped onto the head of Senju Hashirama opposite him, while Senju Tobirama folded his hands across his chest, stood still, admiring his own results.

"Sorry we're late!"

As the agreed time approached, six figures rushed out of the jungle not far away. The leader, Sarutobi Hiruzen, saw the two people standing on top of the statue, and without hesitation, he landed directly in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Meet the Secretary!"

Danzo Shimura naturally followed closely behind, not only landing in front of Tobirama Senju, but also kneeling on one knee in a very formal manner, respectfully saluting his teacher, with a smug smile on his face, but the damp ground made him feel doubtful.
Uh. Why are my palms and knees so cold? It didn’t rain last night.
Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En and Akimichi Norifu also came in front of Senju Tobirama, but the three of them who did not serve in the Anbu were not as servile as Danzo, and just stood there and saluted.

"Ah."

Senju Tobirama nodded lightly, but he did not hide the provocation in the corner of his eyes when he glanced at Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara naturally saw it, and his face turned pale instantly.

"I've met the patriarch!"

Fortunately, there was still a family member. Uchiha Kagami, who didn't want to see his family head being ignored, chose to land in front of Uchiha Madara, who had a cold face, and imitated Danzo, bowing respectfully.

"Well, get up."

Fortunately, with the support of Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Madara's expression eased a little and he nodded to this sensible cousin.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off now."

Senju Tobirama brought five disciples to Uchiha Madara. He first looked at the kind-hearted Uchiha Kagami with a gratified look, and then spoke,
"As for the content of the mission, we'll talk as we go."

"Teacher, let me help you carry your luggage~"

Shimura Danzo saw that Tobirama Senju was carrying a small school bag on his back, so he went up to him and tried to take it, but he dodged it.
"No need, I am not that old yet."

Senju Tobirama, with a tense expression, looked at Shimura Danzo's big hand and said with a refusal,
He saw clearly that Danzo was kneeling on the original "Water Style" that he had just performed.

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, he hit the horse's leg by flattering him. Shimura Danzo withdrew his hand in disappointment and turned to speculate why Senju Tobirama was looking at him with a little disgust in his eyes.

"Destination: Rain Country."

Senju Tobirama turned around, confirmed the previously planned route, and whispered to several disciples.

Eight figures were running through the jungle at a very fast speed. The one running in the front was the expressionless Uchiha Madara, while the others following closely behind him were staying close to Senju Tobirama, listening to him explain the ins and outs of this mission.

From the time Uchiha Madara received the invitation to the Knight's Battle, until Senju Hashirama suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma, Senju Tobirama simply integrated the information and repeated it to several disciples.

".Our main task is to supervise Uchiha Madara in the battle and prevent him from causing any trouble."

Although Senju Tobirama said that he was supervising Uchiha Madara, the main purpose of his trip was to worry that knights from other villages would bring reinforcements. After all, the invitation letter did not explicitly state that knights were not allowed to bring supply support teams.

At that time, if the other parties unite and rely on a strong support team to provide supplies to exhaust Uchiha Madara to death, wouldn't Senju Hashirama be finished as well?

"Got it! We will keep a close eye on him!" Danzo nodded fiercely and took the lead in patting his chest to make a promise.

"Teacher, the clan leader can still distinguish right from wrong~"

Uchiha Kagami, who was familiar with Uchiha Madara's personality, couldn't help but speak up to defend his family patriarch. Upon hearing this, Senju Tobirama nodded secretly in his heart, and looked at the other party with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

They both have curly hair, so why are their personalities so different?

Uchiha Gin: A-choo!
"Humph! Just don't hold me back."

Uchiha Madara heard the people behind him discussing him, and he snorted coldly and said without turning his head,
"Teacher, will the Tailed Beast Knights from other villages really participate?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Senju Tobirama's explanation in silence, his frowning brows never relaxed for a moment. After thinking for a while, he asked a more practical question.

"I have received intelligence that the Tailed Beast Knights from other villages are already on their way to the competition venue."

Although time was tight, Tobirama Senju, who never turned a blind eye, bought the latest news about the Tailed Beast Knights from several other villages at a high price from a reliable intelligence dealer overnight. He learned that they had already set off a few days ago, and Konoha was the slowest one.

"But why was the venue chosen to be in the Rain Country?"

Utatane Koharu raised her hand. She was very curious about the location of this competition. Why was it in the less famous Rain Country?
"The Rain Country is adjacent to several major countries and is an extremely important strategic location. I'm afraid the initiator of this competition is not just organizing a competition."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was well versed in conspiracy theories at a young age, analyzed the theories seriously and made his arguments convincingly.

"That's what I thought too!"

Danzo, who was still racking his brains to think about this problem, immediately gave a +1.
"No, that was explained in the invitation."

Recalling the contents of the invitation letter, Senju Tobirama shook his head with a strange look on his face.
"He said that rainy days are more suitable for knights"

Rain Country

There was a drizzle in the gray sky. Since the founding of this country, the continuous rain has never stopped, so it is named the Rain Country.

Due to the influence of the year-round rainy season, this country has countless inland lakes of all sizes, which further compresses the already tight living space. Ordinary people have no choice but to leave their homes, so that the population has been in a state of negative growth all year round.

But even under such difficult conditions, there is still a makeshift team of local ninjas in the Rain Country. These guys who call themselves Rain Ninjas have established a ninja village called the Hidden Rain Village in this forgotten place abandoned by God.

Although the strength of these Rain Ninjas is not that strong, they are good at thinking. After years of hard work, they have come up with some cool things, such as the famous assassination technique.

However, the Hidden Mist Village has been appealing about its copyright in this regard. After all, the moves used by these Rain Ninjas look very Hidden Mist Village-style.

Relying on their decent assassination skills, the Hidden Rain Village was able to barely take on some odd tasks, so that they would not disband on the spot and become an unknown ninja that everyone hated.

Beside a relatively large inland lake in the Land of Rain, Uchiha Gin, who had emerged from the void, looked thoughtfully at the endless lake in front of him. In the distance behind him were some steel towers that were being built.
"Why do I feel like this place looks familiar?"

Along with a whirlpool, Uchiha Gin emerged from it and landed on a half-exposed stone pillar in the water. He scratched his head in confusion. In his scarlet eyes, two windmills were slowly spinning.
“I think it would be great to have fireworks at this location~”

After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gin felt that he should not continue to waste time on this issue. Now that several knights have arrived at the territory of the Rain Country, he must quickly create a high-end stage to demonstrate the formality of the competition.

"Use Wood Release? No, no, no~"

Since this place was chosen to build the stage, Uchiha Gin clapped his hands as usual, and was about to use a large-scale civil engineering technique when he suddenly remembered that one of the people was one of his own.

Others may not have a deep research on Wood Release, but that white-haired guy is different. If he uses Wood Release to create something, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Senju Tobirama, so Uchiha Gin put down his hand and began to figure out other methods.
"How about building one with gold bricks?"

"No! That's too vulgar. This is a high-end game~"

The first mediocre plan was rejected immediately by Uchiha Gin himself. He relied on his strength to gather people and form a team, and using gold seemed to be insincere.

Knights: Honest! Too honest! We like it!

"That's right~"

Uchiha Gin, who was thinking hard, suddenly remembered a place where there were a lot of ready-made stones, which could be used to build the stage for the knights' battle.

He did it right away. Uchiha Gin stood up and the patterns in his eyes turned. He was sucked into a vortex and disappeared on the spot.

"Kaw!"

Divine space.

This strange space unique to the Kaleidoscope is dark and boundless, but Uchiha Gin has the blessing of the Sharingan and can see through the haze in front of him. The seemingly boundless Kamui space is made of neatly arranged large blocks of stone, which is perfect for the foundation of the stage.

"Besides being a garbage dump, your pupil technique isn't completely useless~"

Uchiha Gin looked at the piles of stones and grinned. After praising the practicality of the Divine Power Space, he began to move the stones outside. The huge square stone pillars were like a piece of cake in his hands. After dismantling them, he only needed to throw them outside.
Rumble~
Rumble~
Just when Uchiha Ginchai was feeling happy, a dark shadow on a stone pillar not far away caught his attention. He thought it was the large piece of garbage he had thrown away before, but when he walked closer and took a look, he almost got his eyes popped out of his head in fright.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Cold sweat covered Uchiha Gin's forehead. He had never felt so terrified since his debut. Seeing the scene in front of him, he had a sense of déjà vu as if he was dislocated in time and space.

In front of Uchiha Gin, there lay a very peaceful corpse, wearing the very familiar black robe with red clouds. Looking at the white-haired man who had no life left, he rubbed his eyes again.
"This shouldn't be the case. I've traveled through time again?"

Uzumaki Nagato is the most oppressive boss in the middle period of Naruto, no doubt about it. Although his real body looks like an aging little jailbird who has played too much, the Six Paths of Pain he controlled still left a deep impression on all Naruto fans.

"Wait, let me think about this, is this an NPC that the system spawned for me?"

After a brief moment of confusion, Uchiha Gin immediately thought of the system that did not play by the rules. Was it possible that the stupid system regarded the Kamui Space as his back garden by default, so it directly spawned an NPC over, but this time his luck was quite bad, and there was only a corpse.

"Ding~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was complaining, the familiar system prompt sound rang again. This time he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was really the system that was causing trouble.
"The host is detected to be in an unstable timeline. System correction begins."

"what?"

The prompt was not what he had imagined. Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion. What did an unstable timeline mean? He had never stayed in the Kamui space and had never encountered this kind of prompt before.

"Repair successful, repair successful"

The brainstorming session had not yet ended when Uchiha Gin heard prompts from the system one after another. In his surprised eyes, the peaceful face of Uzumaki Nagato (corpse only) began to become blurred, and in a moment, he disappeared from the spot.

Uchiha Gin broke out in a cold sweat again when he saw this. Was this situation telling him that the appearance of Uzumaki Nagato's body was not intentional by the system, but some kind of bug in this Kamui space.

"System system, can you give me an explanation?"

Always feeling that things are not that simple, Uchiha Gin tried to communicate with the garbage system, but the other party read the message but didn't reply, which made him very upset.

Players on the advance server don’t have human rights, right?
The stones have been almost collected, and Uchiha Gin is in no mood to stay any longer. It seems that there is a bug in this Shenwei space. Don't be so cruel and optimize it away as if it were a virus.

"Huh? This is it?"

Just as Uchiha Gin turned around to leave, there was a small thing left where Uzumaki Nagato had just been lying.
Bending down to pick it up, Uchiha Gin's eyes were full of confusion. Logically, this thing should also be repaired, right?

Looking at the pure white rose made of paper in his hand, Uchiha Gin fell into deep thought. He felt that he should pretend that he didn't see it. Why did he pick it up?
"Ding~ Obtained a secret technique instruction ticket*1." (End of this chapter)
