The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 314 Preparing a Gift for Madara

After his "advanced training" in Konoha, An's mastery of Wood Release cell transplantation techniques reached its pinnacle, becoming a state of consummate skill.

Now, using his own Wood Release cells to perform surgery on Shin is even easier.

A few hours later, Shin was successfully taken off the operating table and became a Wood Release ninja.

An took out all the Wood Release scrolls in his hand and handed them to Xin, instructing him, "You can study these Wood Release ninjutsu a little; you don't need to spend too much time on them."

"The reason the First Hokage was so strong was because he was Hashirama Senju, not because of his Wood Release."

"The reason I gave you Wood Release is to increase your vitality and chakra reserves, and to prevent your Mangekyou Sharingan from going blind prematurely."

"Our Uchiha clan's foundation still lies in the Sharingan; everything else merely plays a supporting role."

"You need to understand the primary and secondary points here, don't get them mixed up."

"Clan leader, please rest assured." Shin patted his chest and assured them, "I am a proud Uchiha, of course I don't care about Wood Release or anything like that, I will definitely not go astray."

An was relieved and stopped disturbing Xin's studies and research, then went out again.

Now that the Hidden Cloud Village has surrendered, they certainly won't be making a comeback anytime soon. The Land of Rice Fields is now completely safe.

Upon receiving this news, the villagers were immediately relieved, and businesses such as taverns and shops in the village returned to normal.

Although their own ninja village was taken over by Orochimaru, a rogue ninja, fortunately, this rogue ninja was extremely powerful and was able to repel an enemy from one of the Five Great Nations.

In these chaotic times, nothing is more appealing than safety.

The level of communication in the ninja world varies considerably, but real-time communication is not impossible if one is willing to put in the effort.

News of the previous battle had reached the ears of many organizations, and many merchants were also tempted, sending caravans to the Land of Fields.

An didn't bother with any of that, just wandered around like a tourist, eating delicious food, petting cats, and enjoying a rare period of leisure.

But such days did not last long. One day, as he was holding Tachibana Maru and basking in the sun, the space around him suddenly fluctuated, and Obito's figure emerged from the alternate dimension.

"Master, we've found the place."

Obito obediently lowered his head and reported in a very docile manner.

"Great!" An immediately perked up, sitting up abruptly. "Does Jue know about this yet?"

"The White Zetsu who was acting with him should have already reported the news to him."

"They didn't suspect you over there, did they?"

"No, White Zetsu will only think that I've been hiding in the other dimension—with Rin."

"We'd better hurry!"

An immediately created a wooden clone, tossed the Tachibana Maru in his arms into the clone's arms, leaving the clone there, while his real body fluctuated and entered the alternate dimension with Obito.

He and Obito couldn't let White Zetsu follow them on what they were doing.

The two quickly left the Sound Village, escaping the White Zetsu's surveillance. They then traveled at a rapid pace, soon leaving the Land of Rice Fields, passing through the Land of Hot Springs, and arriving at the seaside.

"Master, we need to travel by boat from now on."

"By boat? The Shell organization's base is overseas?"

"To be precise, it's somewhere among the islands at sea. It's a no-man's-land, completely lawless, but teeming with rebels and rife with black market transactions. With enough money, you can get anything there."

An then realized what was going on.

"No wonder the people in the ninja world have never known anything about them."

The two immediately disguised themselves using transformation magic, hired a boat, and sailed for a while under Obito's guidance, eventually arriving at an archipelago.

I randomly picked a spot to get off the boat and wade onto the island.

As soon as An arrived on the island, he noticed that many unfriendly eyes were staring at him from the vicinity.

"Tsk!" An frowned unhappily, really wanting to gouge out these guys' eyes.

But considering that he was here to do something bad and couldn't reveal his identity, he ignored these people and simply nodded to Obito, asking him to lead the way.

Obito led An straight ahead and arrived near a manor on the island.

"It's right here."

"On the surface, it is a black market exchange with a history of over a hundred years. It has a prestigious reputation and unfathomable strength, so it is trusted by many rogue ninjas on the island."

"But after careful investigation, it was discovered that the mastermind behind this exchange was a guy named Cixian."

"The staff at the exchange have changed many times, but the leader has never changed, and nobody knows that..."

The leader's exact age was unknown, but his face remained perpetually youthful.

"Many ninjas say in private that the leader possesses the art of immortality that allows people to stay young forever."

"It's not that no one is secretly plotting against him, but everyone who entered the manor has not reappeared."

"Over time, people only dared to talk about these things as topics of conversation."

An waved his hand, interrupting Obito's report.

"I don't care about any of that. All I need to know is that this is Jigen's base in the ninja world."

"The true lair of the 'Shell Organization' should be in another dimension. After this place is destroyed, you will continue to secretly follow Jigen, find the location of that other dimension, and then report back to me."

"I understand," Obito replied, bowing his head.

After giving Obito some instructions, An left him outside and infiltrated the manor himself.

Jigen is very strong, but most of his subordinates in this manor are just ordinary bloodline ninjas.

These subordinates are somewhat useful to ordinary infiltrating ninjas, but for a master like An, ordinary bloodline ninjas simply cannot detect An's whereabouts.

Ann easily infiltrated the manor, but he did not act rashly; instead, he waited patiently.

Not long after, an arrogant voice rang out outside the manor.

"Ci-hsien, get out here!"

Madara Uchiha has arrived!

An knows Black Zetsu very well. Given how much he values ​​the Sage of Six Paths, if he can't persuade An to take action, he will definitely try to trick Madara, the most powerful henchman, into coming over.

Given Madara Uchiha's arrogance, he would never do bad things in secret like An.

Even if the enemy is the Sage of Six Paths, he will not be afraid in the slightest and will only confront him head-on.

Sure enough, Madara came knocking on our door.

With the aid of ninjutsu, Madara's voice rolled like thunder, instantly spreading to every corner of the island.

At this point, An got up with a grin and headed towards the most heavily guarded secret vault in the manor.

He wanted to leave a small gift for Ban there.
