'Collecting Tailed Beast chakra?'
From Madara's words, Obito felt a faint sense of urgency.
He suddenly asked a question, "Madara, how much time do you have left?"
Madara looked at Obito and said slowly, "Less than a month."
'Only less than a month?'
Obito was silent for a moment.
After a while, he said, "In the future, have you considered resurrection?"
Madara shook his head, "In the future, if you've already made the ninja world better, what's the point of resurrecting a dead person?"
"If it's still this riddled and broken world, why would I bother to look at it again?"
"Unless you encounter an unstoppable enemy, like Kaguya Otsutsuki escaping from the moon, otherwise don't disturb me."
Obito understood Madara's meaning, but still couldn't help but mock, "If the enemy is someone on the level of Kaguya Otsutsuki, what use is resurrecting you?"
Madara crossed his arms and looked at Obito with dissatisfaction, "Have you seen me in my prime?"
Obito's mocking expression became more obvious, "I have indeed seen it, in all kinds of forms."
"Madara, I have to mention, your prime was really miserable. Either paralyzed from a kick, or cut in half, and in the end, your heart was dug out."
"Couldn't hold up at all."
Madara suddenly found himself speechless, because Obito came from the future and he really couldn't refute that.
In the end, he could only huff arrogantly and dropped the topic.
Afterward, he took Obito to Akatsuki's storage room.
The old man guarding the storage room, whose heart wasn't great, immediately came forward when he saw Madara arriving.
Lately, Madara had become something like his god of wealth. Every time he took goods out, a huge sum of money came in.
"Leader Madara, here to pick up goods again today?"
Madara nodded and said, "Kakuzu, send another chakra converter to Hanzo. Also, bring him an Akatsuki uniform."
Thinking for a moment, Madara looked at his own rainbow-colored nail polish and added, "Let him choose a polish too. He must wear it."
Kakuzu was stunned, "Hanzo has also joined us? Then the money..."
Madara snorted, "He joined Akatsuki, but Akatsuki is Akatsuki, and the Land of Rain is the Land of Rain. He's buying on behalf of the Land of Rain. Not a single coin less. Fixed price, 100 million ryo."
Kakuzu was overjoyed, "Alrighty, I'll get on it immediately."
With that, Kakuzu went into the warehouse to pick out a uniform and supplies.
Taking advantage of Kakuzu's absence, Madara immediately pulled open the drawer of the seat Kakuzu had just been sitting in, took out two sealing scrolls, handed one to Obito, and tucked one into his own chest.
Obito was startled, "This is..."
Madara looked in the direction Kakuzu had gone and said nervously, "Take it quickly. This is the profit split from selling chakra converters. Yours is the share for Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails jinchuriki."
"Mine is for Sara. I'll bring it to her later when I go to negotiate business with Sunagakure."
Obito realized, "So it's a profit split, definitely should be shared."
After speaking, he also nervously glanced in the direction Kakuzu had gone and quickly stuffed the sealing scroll into his own chest.
The two acted as if nothing happened, sneaking away…
Kakuzu was still in the warehouse packing chakra converters into sealing scrolls, humming a little tune as he worked, "100 million ryo, 100 million ryo."
He suddenly felt one of his hearts tighten, and he stopped, puzzled, "Strange, am I really getting old? I actually started having heart palpitations?"
———
In Konoha Village, as the ninjas who had won the Battle of Kikyo Mountain returned, the villagers began to celebrate.
One person had become completely famous, Konoha's Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato.
Now everywhere, people could be heard calling Namikaze Minato's name.
Minato had become Konoha's recognized great hero, having ended a war that should have been tragic all by himself.
Many marriageable-age girls started taking an interest in Namikaze Minato.
What girl doesn't dream of love? Especially for a handsome and gentle guy like Minato.
Unfortunately, upon inquiry, they were struck by a thunderbolt, Jonin Minato was already married at a young age.
It was said his wife had a fierce temper, known as the Red-Hot Habanero, and could eat people.
Left with no choice, the girls could only extinguish their inappropriate thoughts, sighing in their hearts: 'Good men must be fought over, hesitate and someone else will snatch them first...'
Along with Namikaze Minato's fame, the other members of Team Seven also gained recognition.
Konoha's genius ninja, Kakashi Hatake, who graduated at five, became chunin at six, and was promoted to jonin before turning eleven, had his name brought up again.
Everyone believed that for the Yellow Flash to achieve such major results, the genius Kakashi Hatake must have played a big supporting role.
Besides him, the reputation of the purple-robed angel Rin was even louder than Kakashi's. After all, many ninjas who fought in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain survived thanks to Rin's healing, and they were deeply grateful to her.
Through their stories, Rin was now considered no less than her teacher, one of the Sannin, Tsunade.
In comparison, the other team member, Uchiha Obito, seemed rather ordinary. Although the villagers respected him, their enthusiasm was obviously less.
Strolling along Konoha's bustling snack street, Rin looked at Obito beside her and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, "Obito, they all say you're just there to make up the numbers."
Obito wasn't about to argue with the ignorant villagers, and held Rin's small hand, "As long as you don't think I'm just making up the numbers, that's enough."
Rin's face turned slightly red. She looked at Obito, her eyes sparkling, "Obito, do you remember what you promised me?"
Obito pretended to be dumb, "What, I don't remember?"
Rin gave a small huff and lightly punched Obito with her little fist, "Obito, you promised that this time, you'd come meet my parents."
"I've already visited your grandmother several times, and you still don't want to come to my house once."
Obito's gaze dodged. So strange, he could keep a calm face and talk confidently in front of Uchiha Madara, yet just thinking about meeting Rin's parents made his heart race.
But since he already promised Rin, he still took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Rin, I'll come to your house, but you have to cover for me."
Rin chuckled, "My parents won't eat people. We'll go over a bit later. They'll definitely be happy to see you."
Obito began to fret, "Rin, should we buy some gifts?"
Rin smiled and shook her head, "No need. Just having you come is enough."
Even though she said that, Obito and Rin still went shopping, carefully picking out various gifts.
After all, they had just received payment for several S-rank missions, and the Uchiha also gave Obito a large sum. Their wallets were stuffed, they weren't short on money at all and could spend freely.
The two strolled and played as they shopped, soon filling their hands with large and small bags.
On the way back, they saw two familiar figures.
Anko and Shisui were walking side by side. At this moment, Shisui was already wearing a Konoha forehead protector.
Rin threw all the gifts into Obito's arms and ran over to greet them, "Anko, Shisui, what a coincidence!"
Anko and Shisui looked at Rin, but didn't seem in high spirits. They both hung their heads and sighed.
Rin was puzzled, "What's wrong with you two? Isn't this supposed to be the happiest time? Why the gloomy faces?"
