Naruto Uzumaki's eyes lit up, and he practically bounced in front of Jiraiya!
"Pervy Sage! I'm on board with this! From today on, you're my disciple!!! Wait, no, no! From today on, you're my master!!!"
Right after saying that, Naruto's eyes rolled mischievously as he started muttering to himself.
"If I become Pervy Sage's disciple… Dad would be my senior brother. But if I take Pervy Sage as my disciple, wouldn't that make Dad my grand-disciple?! That sounds way more exciting! Jackpot!!!"
Naruto's self-talk left everyone around him floored…
After some back-and-forth, Jiraiya finally took Naruto as his disciple, and Naruto happily became Minato Namikaze's junior brother.
The two exchanged glances, both letting out a creepy "hehehe" laugh…
Just then, a knock came at the Hokage's office door.
Knock, knock, knock…
"Lord Hokage!"
The visitor was an Anbu ninja, someone Hirofumi Ito recognized—a female ninja from the original series named Yugao Uzuki.
Her skills weren't top-tier, but her looks were definitely a cut above…
And her boyfriend was no small fry!
Because her boyfriend was the true protagonist of Naruto: Shippuden!
The sickly Hayate Gekko…
"Yugao, what's up?"
"Lord Hokage, the head of the Research Department, Lord Orochimaru, needs you for something. A lot of the seniors are already there!"
"Got it. You're dismissed."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Hirofumi knew what Orochimaru wanted. It was about research on the Sharingan and the cells of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
Back in the summoning space, Madara had proposed an idea: transplanting his chakra into Hashirama to see if it could awaken the Rinnegan.
Now that Konoha was stable, Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru had started this research…
Meanwhile, Izuna Uchiha had retrieved an armful of Sharingan from Danzō, including one Mangekyo Sharingan!
The armful of three-tomoe Sharingan was kept for research, while the Mangekyo was given to Shisui Uchiha.
(Please remember the website ①⓪①ⓚⓐⓝ.ⓒⓞⓜ for the fastest chapter updates)
After all, that Mangekyo originally belonged to Shisui. He fused it with his current Mangekyo, and now one of his eyes had become an Eternal Mangekyo!
As for the other Mangekyo, Hirofumi knew it was with Itachi Uchiha.
And Itachi likely had the Mangekyo Sharingan of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha from before their deaths…
As for the Mangekyo Sharingan, Hirofumi had wondered if he could use the system's power to infinitely duplicate them!
Take Shisui, for example. He currently had a Mangekyo Sharingan, and his original Mangekyo still existed in the shinobi world.
So, what if they gouged out Shisui's current Sharingan, killed him, and then revived him with 50 million ryo?
Could they keep duplicating Mangekyo that way?!
That was Hirofumi's earlier idea…
But after Hiruzen Sarutobi's second death, Hiro)|^
System: Hirofumi realized the idea wouldn't work. People revived by the system turned into soul flames upon death, and their Sharingan would vanish along with them…
The system was likely preventing him from exploiting such a bug!
But Hirofumi had another idea—Danzō! The guy had a ton of Sharingan on him. If they revived Danzō and took his Sharingan without killing him, would those eyes remain?!
I'm a genius!!
Just as Hirofumi was about to head to Orochimaru's Research Department, the Hokage's office door swung open again…
"Lord Hokage!"
Another Anbu ninja walked in, and Hirofumi sighed. He really couldn't catch a break in the Hokage Tower!
"What's the matter?!"
"Lord Hokage… it's like this. A bunch of merchants and tycoons issued mission requests to the village. They got robbed, with losses totaling billions of ryo!
But none of those missions have been completed…
Those merchants have been hounding us about it! What should we do, Lord Hokage?!"
Hirofumi knew exactly who'd stolen that money—Big Yellow and Little Black, the duo! And that money was already in his pocket, no way he was giving it back!
Still, he felt a headache coming on. If these missions went unfulfilled, it'd be bad for Konoha's reputation. People might start thinking the village couldn't handle missions and turn to other villages instead!
Just then, the office door opened again…
Orochimaru strolled in with a sly grin.
"Lord Hokage, you're quite the busy man! The Research Department's been waiting for you forever, so I, the department head, had to come fetch you myself!"
Hirofumi threw up his hands helplessly…
"It's not that I don't want to go! I was just about to head over when this came up!"
After hearing the situation, Orochimaru licked his face with his tongue, letting out a creepy "hehehe" laugh…
"Lord Hokage, no need to worry about this one. I've got an idea!"
"Oh? Orochimaru-senpai, you've got an idea?!"
Orochimaru's grin grew even more sinister as he flicked his tongue…
"Of course! Hehehehe…
Minato and Fugaku filled me in on the details, and I've come up with a way to handle it!"
"What's the plan?!" Hirofumi asked, genuinely curious.
Honestly, he thought Orochimaru was a true genius!
The guy was always coming up with new ideas out of nowhere!
Truly Konoha's idea king!
With a mastermind like this, how could he fail?!
