Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

"Next, we need to get a Sage Mode!"

He has Wood Release but not Sage Mode, and he is not even half as strong as Hashirama.

Hashirama's strength lies in the perfect fusion of Wood Release, Sage Physique, Ashura Chakra and Sage Mode, none of which can be missing.

On the other hand, he currently only has the Wood Release and Sage physique, and the gap is obvious.

I took a look at the Sage Mode in the mall. It was quite expensive. Even with a 20% discount, I still didn’t have enough gold coins.

He only has 100,000 left now.

[Sage Mode: Price: 15 gold coins (12 gold coins after % discount)]

[After purchasing the Sage Mode, you will be able to quickly enter the Sage state in any place containing natural energy, comprehensively improve your abilities, covering various fields such as Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Illusion, and you can also master powerful Sage techniques. ]

"That's all for today..."

Shinomiya Yutsuki glanced at the introduction of Sage Mode reluctantly, then closed the page.

Just at this moment, a low hum was heard beside him, and Sasuke finally woke up slowly.

"You're awake. The operation was a great success. You're a girl now."

Shigong Youyue looked at him with a smile on her face.

Sasuke, who had just woken up, was still in a daze. When he heard these words, he was struck by lightning and instantly woke up. He subconsciously touched his body and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guy!"

Sasuke was furious. How could this guy be so naughty to make such a joke!

"Haha, don't mind it, Sasuke. You know, you are the only surviving son of the Uchiha family. The future of the entire family rests on your shoulders."

"Oh yeah, and Itachi, you two brothers have a tough task ahead of you."

Sasuke moved his body expressionlessly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Is this your home? Do you live here?"

Sasuke looked around, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

In fact, this place is not bad, but for a strong man like Sigong Youyue, it does seem a bit shabby and does not quite suit his status.

"Don't compare me with you, the eldest son of the Uchiha family. I am poor as hell."

"You are also short of money?"

"Not really, but I just like the comfort here and I'm too lazy to move."

As they were talking, the sound of a door being pushed open interrupted their conversation, and Yamanaka Ino walked into the room gracefully, carrying a lunch box.

She was slightly surprised to see two people in the room, then nodded to Sasuke as a greeting.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Ino put the lunch box on the table: "Since the lights in your kitchen are still off, I knew you must have forgotten to eat again, so I brought you some food. Eat it while it's hot."

Youyue smiled brightly: "So thoughtful? If I could marry her, I'm afraid I'd enjoy endless happiness for the rest of my life."

“I think my hopes are pretty high.”

"Screw you."

"It's left over at home, and I'm going to throw it away anyway, so I might as well give it to you at a discount."

Ino rolled her eyes at him and began taking out dishes from the food box one by one.

The color is attractive and it is steaming hot. It is clearly freshly baked and I am still eating it.

"Okay, okay, I'll obey your command."

"Sasuke, would you like some too?" Shinomiya Yutsuki invited him as he picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

Sasuke's eyes wandered between the two of them, and finally he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of relationship are you two?"

"no!"

"Yes."

Yuzuki and Ino said the same thing in unison, but their answers were very different.

Sasuke: "..."

"Okay, I really don't understand the development of this plot anymore. Forget it, whatever. I'm too lazy to think about it."

Sasuke rubbed his brows, stood up and walked to the window.

"Sasuke, you really don't want to eat something?"

Sasuke shook his head, jumped handsomely, and disappeared into the night.

After Sasuke left, Ino sat next to Yutsuki, and while he was wolfing down his food, she secretly twisted Yutsuki's waist.

Her cheeks blushed slightly: "Why do you say that?"

Shigong Youyue blinked. This twist was nothing to his immortal body, but he still exaggerated his expression of pain.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just...Sasuke asked us if we were in that kind of relationship, why did you nod?"

"I'm an honest person, so of course I'll seek truth from facts. By the way, why is your face so red? Did someone touch your head while wearing a three-piece suit?"

At this moment, Ino was like a bomb about to explode, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about again..."

"you……"

Before Ino could ask a rapid-fire series of questions, Youyue had already quickly picked up a chicken leg and blocked her mouth.

"Mmmmm..." Her eyes suddenly widened.

"It seems that only delicious food can keep you quiet for a while."

......................................................

In the vast land of the Rain Country, towering water towers stand out particularly eye-catching. Each one is an excellent location to climb up and look far into the distance and enjoy the scenery of the country.

At this moment, the masked man was standing alone on the top of a water tower, silently. He had been standing here for two hours.

Soon, a clumsy White Zetsu slowly climbed up the cold steel support, and when he finally reached the top of the tower, he was already panting from exhaustion.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow silently invaded White Zetsu's body. The black color spread rapidly, swallowing White Zetsu into a mixture of black and white. It was obvious that Black Zetsu had taken the dominant position.

"What's wrong with you?" Black Zetsu couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and finally asked.

Ever since the masked man came back from going out, he has looked like this, standing alone on the top of the tower, letting the cold wind blow on him, immersed in an indescribable emotion.

To put it simply, it's emo.

Black Zetsu watched him from below for two hours, his head almost blown dizzy by the wind. He wanted to get closer but was restricted by the Mayfly Technique, which allowed him to only sneak through the ground. He had no way to deal with the steel-structured water tower, so he had to use White Zetsu's body to possess it again and find out what was going on.

However, Black Zetsu's question received no response, and the masked man remained silent, which made Black Zetsu anxious.

He knew nothing about the masked man's situation, but his plan to save his mother depended entirely on this man. Without his help, his ambition to collect the tailed beasts would be nothing but a pipe dream.

"Ban, cheer up and think about our blueprint. There is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome."

"Once the Moon Eye Project is realized, the world will become perfect and all your troubles will vanish."

The name from Hei Zetsu seemed to touch something. The masked man was slightly stunned, and the name "Ban" caused ripples in his heart.

That’s right, he is now playing the legendary figure - Uchiha Madara, not the deceased Uchiha Obito.

In his thoughts, Nohara Rin's gentle smile, Kakashi's resolute back, and all the things that happened to Obito when he was young, everything flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, but in the end they were all replaced by the ideal world of the Moon Eye described by Uchiha Madara.

That peaceful and beautiful future world.

It seemed as if in an instant, all the confusion and the past disappeared like floating clouds, and the masked man's determination became firmer than ever before.

"You're right." There was a hint of relief in his voice.

"It's good that you can think this way. Stop imagining it. Our actions are about to open a new chapter."

Seeing the masked man regain his confidence, Black Zetsu forced a smile on his clearly defined face, although it was distorted and ugly.

Driven by curiosity, Black Zetsu couldn't help but want to find out how badly the masked man had suffered that caused such a huge emotional fluctuation.

"Where have you been during the day? With your strength, who else could have frustrated you like this?"

The masked man raised his head slightly. It started to drizzle in the sky without him knowing when. However, in this rainy country, such weather had long been commonplace.

The raindrops gradually became heavier, hitting the mask and sliding down his cheeks, making it difficult to tell whether they were tears or just rain.

"I am fine."

"It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
