"In that case, before it's successfully built, let the Anbu and Security Team jointly oversee it. There can't be any mistakes."
"Hmm, that's what I planned too. Moreover, the manufacturing process is already established, we just need to follow it."
Uchiha Yoichi then talked to Hatake Sakumo about the matters on the Moon. Although there's no Tenseigan energy left there, the energy transmission equipment is perfectly intact and can be redeveloped.
Listening to this, Hatake Sakumo was still in shock. He thought Uchiha Yoichi had been resting all this time, not realizing that he had actually accomplished something remarkable.
"I still need to continue going to the Moon, so the matters in the village are up to you for now, Senior Sakumo."
"...Alright, the matters there are quite important. By the way..."
Hatake Sakumo suddenly remembered he had something to say: "The Anbu discovered that the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud Ninjas seem to have intentions of forming an alliance. Nara Shikaku also sent a message back, indicating that the Hidden Rain Village might be involved too."
"Hidden Rain Village... How's the Oasis plan in the Sate Region going?"
Uchiha Yoichi asked, contemplating the idea of sending Senju Tobirama to the Hidden Rain Village. This way, Senju Tobirama and Nara Shikaku could address the Hidden Rain Ninjas, while Konan and her reassembled Akatsuki Organization could win over the people's hearts, leaving only the powerless nobles of the Land of Rain.
Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Urashiki has gone into hiding. Though he lacks the Six Paths power, his spatial abilities are quite troublesome.
Moreover, he's now targeting the First Hokage. With his spatial abilities, if not careful, he could actually succeed. Therefore, Senju Tobirama stayed back for the sake of his brother.
Otherwise, after the hardliners in the Hidden Sand Village were dealt with, there would have been no threat of rebellion. The remaining task would be to eliminate the nobles of the Land of Wind.
Hatake Sakumo thought for a moment and said, "The Oasis plan has been executed about sixty to seventy percent, next is routine maintenance, so it's okay to pause it."
With Senju Hashirama's Wood Release and a Chakra-based Ninjutsu, he could create a vast forest. Even though the Land of Wind is mostly desert, over such a long period, it was enough for him to create many oasis.
Yesterday, a report from the Sate Region stated that the Oasis plan was nearing completion, and preparations were underway to reorganize the ninja forces and invade and annex the remaining Land of Wind.
Currently, Konoha occupies only two border towns and a Hidden Sand Village in the Sate Region. The remaining three oasis settlement towns were all built by Konoha itself.
Although half of the Land of Wind's territory has been occupied, most of it is desert.
Fortunately, with Senju Hashirama present, more than half of those deserts have now turned into oases. The next step is to change the climate of the Land of Wind after conquering the Land of Rain.
"Let the First and Second Hokage go to the Land of Rain, and also have the Anbu deliver this shuriken to the Second Hokage. Once they encounter that Otsutsuki enemy, activate the sealing technique on it."
"The Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but over such a long distance..."
"Don't worry, I'll be able to sense it."
It's just crossing over one country. Once Uchiha Yoichi senses his Chakra, he would immediately use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to get there.
After instructing on some other matters, Hatake Sakumo finally left, but soon he summoned a squad leader from the Anbu and the Security Team.
Uchiha Yoichi instructed them to select three teams from the Anbu and Security Team, a total of twenty-four ninjas, to be in charge of the Tenseigan Energy Tower's modification project. Nobody in the village should hinder this plan.
Following the order, the squad leaders from the Anbu and Security Team responded in unison.
————————————
"Third Tsuchikage, it's finally nice to meet you."
Victor chuckled and said, "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm the president of the Tanigawa Medical Corporation from the Land of Valleys, and have always hoped to collaborate with the Third Tsuchikage. If it wasn't for Lord Daimyo's introduction, it wouldn't have been so easy to meet the Third Tsuchikage...."
Kitsuchi, standing by, felt something strange upon seeing Victor. The man's height reminded him of his own father.
However, the Land of Valleys... seems to be an insignificant small country. What kind of good medical company could they have there?
"Let's skip the small talk. If it's about purchasing medical supplies, I don't think you'd go through such lengths, even reaching out to Lord Daimyo; but since the Daimyo has intervened, we'll include you in the Hidden Rock Village's medical supplies procurement."
Onoki stated bluntly. He was quite busy, without much time for idle chat with a small country businessman, even if the businessman had connections to the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.
"Thank you, Third Tsuchikage. Our medical products won't disappoint you. However, I'm not here for that reason, but for another matter...."
Glancing around, Victor continued, "This isn't the right place to discuss, could the Third Tsuchikage possibly step outside with me?"
"Alright, if it's not something important, I need to get back to work."
Onoki said with his hands clasped behind his back, then left with Kitsuchi.
After reaching an open area, Victor showcased the purpose of his visit, a self-operating mechanical modified person.
This development was due to assistance from someone else. Although Victor didn't know that individual's background, the person's elegant mannerisms and ability to provide various advanced technologies immediately won Victor over.
It's thanks to that person's help that Victor was able to elevate his medical company to become the top medical company in the Land of Valleys and establish connections with the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.
This time, Victor came to the Hidden Rock Village hoping to acquire their Kekkeitota, intending to research and produce even stronger modified humans. Before coming, he consulted that individual, who neither opposed nor supported the idea, showing a tacit approval, prompting Victor to make the decision to come to the Hidden Rock Village.
After demonstrating the modified human's capabilities, Victor looked at Onoki with a triumphant expression. It was the strongest modified human he could currently create, with destructive power slightly exceeding that of a Chunin, albeit less agile than one.
However, Victor was confident in creating even stronger modified humans, as long as he secured more resources and technologies, he even desired to seize everything that person had.
"So, Third Tsuchikage, this is the modified human I brought...."
As Victor was introducing to Onoki, a silhouette appeared in the sky above—it was Otsutsuki Urashiki passing by.
Using his Byakugan to observe the activity below, Otsutsuki Urashiki grew intrigued: "Isn't that Otsutsuki modification technology? How did it end up in this guy's hands.... If it's not something left by Kaguya, then it must be from that Isshiki fellow?"
After facing setbacks consecutively in this world, Otsutsuki Urashiki was feeling quite vexed. He did not immediately go to Konoha to seek the fox, opting first to gather intelligence.
However, upon arriving at the Hidden Rock Village, he received an unexpected surprise.
How could a native this weak possess Otsutsuki modification technology?
So, Urashiki took an interest and concealed himself following Victor. Concealing his presence from Victor was exceedingly easy, especially since Victor was just an ordinary person then, not having undergone any modifications himself.
On the third day of tailing Victor, Otsutsuki Urashiki finally had his moment.
Using his Byakugan, Urashiki observed Victor heading into a basement, then opening a computer, soon revealing the image of another person on the screen, and Victor began conversing with this individual.
"Is this guy Isshiki?"
Otsutsuki Urashiki knew Kaguya had already been sealed and had lost her Chakra, and during this period, Momoshiki and Jinshi hadn't arrived yet, leaving only Kaguya's superior, Otsutsuki Isshiki.
Following which, Urashiki chose not to continue tailing them. These individuals communicated over a range beyond his Byakugan's perception, and he couldn't locate where the person on the computer screen was.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!
A spatial portal suddenly opened behind Victor, and Otsutsuki Urashiki emerged from it; as he did so, he saw the shock on the face of the individual on the screen.
And thus, Otsutsuki Urashiki chuckled, grabbing Victor by the neck, and greeted Jigen: "Seems you know me, could you be Senior Isshiki?"
