In the early morning, Uchiha Yuzuru stretched, feeling refreshed as he walked out of the room.
Behind him, Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, and Karura covered their mouths, their eyes filled with resentment.
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Kushina couldn't help but say, "Yuzuru, why don't you go see Konan? She hasn't been on a mission lately."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru raised his eyebrows, looking at Uzumaki Kushina with some surprise, "Kushina, what do you mean by that?"
Uzumaki Kushina snorted lightly, impatiently saying, "Understand it however you like. In any case, the three of us need a good rest for a while."
After speaking, she pulled Uchiha Mikoto and Karura and closed the door.
They weren't afraid of hardship, but experiencing hardship every day would make anyone lose their appetite.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru rubbed his nose.
Even though he had lived two lives, this was the first time he had heard such a request.
Indeed, one must be strong oneself to forge iron.
After leaving the courtyard, Uchiha Yuzuru first went to the research institute, then made his way to the outside of the Uchiha Clan Estate.
Konan's house was not far from the Uchiha Clan Estate, a two-story villa.
"Konan."
Uchiha Yuzuru called out, and soon Konan excitedly ran out.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru, Konan smiled, "Yuzuru, why do you have time to come here today?"
Uchiha Yuzuru walked inside as he explained, "Didn't we say last time that the special paper I gave you could be made into exploding tags?"
"Today I brought some samples over; let's research them together."
"Alright."
Konan naturally took Uchiha Yuzuru's hand and walked into the room with him.
Uchiha Yuzuru took out the exploding tags he had prepared in advance and said to Konan, "If we use these exploding tags as the basic Materials for Paper Release secret techniques, it can effectively compensate for the weakness of Paper Release's low attack power."
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's idea, Konan hesitated, "These special papers do greatly improve me, but won't the cost be a bit too high?"
The amount of paper needed to perform Paper Release secret techniques was not small. If these special exploding tags were used instead of ordinary paper, the required funds would probably be unimaginable.
Hearing Konan's concern, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems."
"Just like when we reformed the Land of Lightning, if we run out of money, we'll just make Konoha pay a bit."
Hearing this, Konan couldn't help but chuckle, "You're treating Konoha like an ATM. You can't shear a sheep forever; eventually, it'll be bald."
"It's fine, I have a Plan B."
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's confident look, Konan asked curiously, "What Plan B?"
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and whispered, "I know a person who is a good earner, known as the strongest ox... cough... the strongest worker."
"I'll have him work for you then, and you won't have to worry about money anymore."
After listening to Uchiha Yuzuru's explanation, Konan couldn't help but feel touched, "Yuzuru, you're so good to me."
Seeing Konan's cool and alluring face, Uchiha Yuzuru reached out a finger and hooked her chin, "I can be even better to you. Do you want to try?"
Looking at Uchiha Yuzuru's undisguised gaze, Konan looked away, "Wh-whatever..."
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for time doth fly.
He had spent so much effort on Konan; if he couldn't get some returns, wouldn't he truly become a simp?

"Konan! Konan!"
Nagato stood excitedly at Konan's door.
After this period of effort, he had finally successfully mastered all the basic abilities of the Rinnegan, so he couldn't wait to share his joy with Konan.
On the second floor, Konan poked her head out the window, "Nagato, wait a moment."
After a while, Konan opened the door from inside and asked Nagato, "Nagato, is there something you suddenly came for?"
Nagato said excitedly, "Konan, I have now completely mastered the power of the Rinnegan. Shall we celebrate together today?"
Hearing this, Konan tucked her hair behind her ear and turned to look behind her.
Just as Nagato was wondering, Uchiha Yuzuru walked out, "Nagato, you don't mind inviting one more person, do you?"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru, Nagato was stunned for a moment.
He wasn't a child who knew nothing, so he naturally noticed the unusual relationship between Uchiha Yuzuru and Konan.
Immediately, he nodded stiffly, "Of course, Yuzuru."
Konan smiled, "Then I'll go get ready first."
Seeing the slight blush remaining on Konan's cheeks, Nagato secretly sighed.
Yahiko, I couldn't revive you immediately; I hope you don't blame me... After Konan left, Uchiha Yuzuru looked at the dazed Nagato and slowly said, "Nagato, you now have sufficiently powerful strength. Do you have any plans?"
Nagato snapped out of it and said softly, "I only want to fulfill Yahiko's wish; everything else is up to you."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and patted Nagato's shoulder, "Then come back to Hidden Rain Village with me."
Nagato was startled, asking in confusion, "Return to Hidden Rain Village?"
"Kill Hanzou, take control of Hidden Rain Village, and then control the entire Land of Rain," Uchiha Yuzuru explained, "Our first step to unifying the Ninja World is to take control of all the small countries."
"But..." Nagato frowned, "Even if we're going to unify small countries, shouldn't we start with the countries bordering the Land of Lightning first?"
Uchiha Yuzuru said indifferently, "Hanzou killed all the members of your Akatsuki Organization back then. Now that you have power, go get your revenge. Keeping such things bottled up is not good for your health."
"I'll be with you."
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Nagato felt a little moved.
If, influenced by Yahiko, he had once admired Hanzou, then after Hanzou killed his Akatsuki comrades, he hated him just as much.
It was just that everything he had now was given by Uchiha Yuzuru, so Nagato could only suppress the hatred in his heart.
But Nagato never expected that Uchiha Yuzuru would be willing to make such a decision for him.
To allow him to seek revenge, he chose to act against the Land of Rain prematurely.
One must know that the Land of Rain and the Land of Lightning were far apart, and attacking the Land of Rain now would not benefit Uchiha Yuzuru's plan.
Konan was right; Uchiha Yuzuru was indeed a very different person... While the two were talking, Konan had already dressed up and walked out.
She affectionately took Uchiha Yuzuru's arm and smiled at Nagato, "Shall we go?"
This time, Nagato also smiled, "Okay, today I'm treating you to a barbecue feast."
With Uchiha Yuzuru accompanying him, plus his current strength.
Even Hanzou, who held the title of "Demigod," would surely only have one path: death!
