Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha!

Uchiha Nan eyed Senju Tobirama with greedy intent, much like an old farmer admiring crops ready for harvest.

What is the most valuable asset in the ninja world?

Talent, of course!

Why can Tsunade live happily despite owing so much money? Because she possesses core technology—extremely powerful medical ninjutsu.

For every penny she owes, her creditors aren't too aggressive. After all, who can afford to lose access to a healer when they or their loved ones fall seriously ill? As long as Tsunade is around, it's like having an extra life!

The major benefactors behind the gambling houses actually hope Tsunade owes more. The greater her debt, the more favors they can extract from her.

As for the debt itself, it's just extended over time. Tsunade will repay it eventually, but they only have one life.

The Senju Tobirama before him was even more valuable than Tsunade, having created all the most powerful forbidden techniques in the ninja world.

The Yondaime's famous Flying Thunder God Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation that sparked the Fourth Ninja War, and Uzumaki Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Moreover, Tobirama's main role had been Hokage, and he invented these forbidden techniques in his spare time. Uchiha Nan intended to confine Tobirama within the Uchiha clan and make him focus on scientific research daily.

"What do you want to do?!"

Senju Tobirama sensed Uchiha Nan's intense gaze, instinctively feeling a sense of malice, as if Uchiha Nan intended to exploit him.

"What do I want to do?"

"Master Tobirama, you're my prisoner now. I control your body; naturally, I can do whatever I want."

"Hey hey hey."

Uchiha Nan flashed a wild grin.

"I'm warning you, don't try anything foolish!"

Senju Tobirama felt a twinge of panic. He seemed to recall a similar situation when he used prisoners for scientific research experiments.

But did Uchiha Nan even understand what scientific research was?

The Uchiha clan's talent always seemed focused on combat!

"Master Tobirama, you should comply."

"After all, everything I'm doing is for Konoha."

"Stop with the cryptic words. Just tell me what you want!"

Senju Tobirama couldn't stand the cryptic hints from Uchiha Nan and urged him to be direct.

"Of course, I want you to work for me, dedicating all your energy to scientific research."

"Honestly, Tobirama-sama, every day you spent as Hokage was a waste of your talents. Someone like you should be engaged in scientific research daily, or it's a loss to the entire ninja world!"

Uchiha Nan praised Tobirama's scientific research abilities, considering his role as Hokage a waste of his potential.

If Tobirama had devoted even a little time to improving productivity, technology trees like steel, food, and electricity would have been advanced long ago.

A ninjutsu miracle like Impure World Reincarnation was just a minor feat for Tobirama!

"Do you really think so?"

Tobirama's eyes lit up at Uchiha Nan's unabashed praise, feeding his vanity.

He actually felt a sense of camaraderie with Uchiha Nan.

It was unfortunate that the person who appreciated his scientific research and experiments the most was an Uchiha. The Senju clan members expected him to boost the clan's power, focusing only on the position of the Third Hokage. Even his elder brother urged him to abandon those strange experiments and focus on Konoha's development.

Every time he invented a powerful forbidden technique, his brother asked first if it was water release. If not, he would immediately record it in the book of seals, restricting its distribution.

It seemed unreasonable to claim these forbidden techniques were so powerful and harmful they couldn't benefit Konoha's ninjas.

"Of course, Tobirama-sama, you're the number one scientist in the ninja world!"

"Especially when you invented techniques to counter the Uchiha clan, driving them to a dead end."

"The Sharingan's insight and illusion abilities prompted you to invent the Dark Walking Technique. The Sharingan sees through clone techniques, so you invented the Shadow Clone."

"Activating the Mangekyo Sharingan summons Susanoo, so you created the Impure World Reincarnation and the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags for attrition warfare!"

"Your unparalleled scientific research ability lets you adapt as Uchiha's strength grows. Who in this ninja world can oppose you?"

Uchiha Nan used examples to illustrate his point.

He discovered from the Book of Seals that Tobirama constantly updated his research, inventing ninjutsu to counter Uchiha's strengths at each stage.

When it came to dealing with Uchiha, no one in the ninja world was more professional than Tobirama. However, this expertise was unsettling for Uchiha Nan as an Uchiha. Tobirama's future profession needed to change!

"Um..."

Tobirama's newfound appreciation for Uchiha Nan vanished immediately; the praise was tinged with sarcasm. Tobirama couldn't discern whether Uchiha Nan was praising or mocking him.

"Hmph, I'll take it as a compliment."

Tobirama snorted coldly, contemplating his options.

If he merely assisted the Uchiha brat with scientific research experiments, he might cooperate.

If Uchiha Nan's bet meant he would occasionally resurrect Tobirama to witness Konoha under his rule, Tobirama's escape plans would be delayed.

However, by continuing to assist Uchiha Nan with research, Tobirama could remain in the world indefinitely. As long as he existed through reincarnation, he would have opportunities to escape.

Moreover, his research would ultimately enhance Konoha's strength, making cooperation with Uchiha Nan a win-win.

Many experiments remained unfinished in his lifetime. Tobirama missed his days at the lab bench.

Previously, he was either too poor or too busy with Konoha's affairs to conduct experiments.

Pure and rational scientific research was far more engaging than fighting. He could treat it as a vacation.

However, he couldn't agree too easily with the Uchiha brat.

He needed to negotiate terms; he wouldn't work for free!

"You want me to do scientific research for you?"

"Let me tell you, I'm the Second Hokage. I've invented countless ninjutsu in my life, not to mention you've usurped Konoha's Hokage position—we're mortal enemies."

"So if you want me to work for you, my salary will be very expensive!"
