A child's loud wail instantly echoed across the entire gathering.
Uchiha Yato hadn't played any tricks—the candies he gave the children weren't defective in any way. So why were the children crying?
It was because these candies were special products from the system.The purpose is to randomly grant the person who eats it a certain emotion.
Unfortunately, the first candy this child ate brought sadness and sorrow.
But right now, no one would care about that. They would only focus on the last sentence spoken by Uchiha Yato.
"This was provided by the Third Kazekage!"
This immediately left the Third Kazekage at a loss for words.
In his heart, he thought, "Just destroy me already, I'm exhausted!"
Over these three months, the Third Kazekage had fully experienced what Sarutobi Hiruzen had gone through.
What it meant to be outmatched in both strength and cunning.
And Uchiha Yato had ten thousand ways to make you wish you were dead.
Meanwhile, our Sasori didn't linger. He knew very well that Uchiha Yato was giving him a chance to win over the people's hearts.
Uchiha Yato had even specially prepared milk, normal candies, and another type of candy that could keep the children happy for all of them.
This could be considered Uchiha Yato's way of making it up to the children.
The scene shifts back to the Hidden Leaf exchange group.
At this very moment, Uchiha Yato also received a response from his clone.
Seeing Uchiha Yato suddenly start laughing beside him, Hyuga Hizashi asked,
"Have you taken care of everything?"
Uchiha Yato replied, "OK, all done. There shouldn't be any other major issues this time."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Tom Cat gave Uchiha Yato a strange look.
Recognizing the meaning behind that look, Uchiha Yato made up an excuse and left first.
Once the two reached a secluded corner, Uchiha Yato asked what was going on.
Tom Cat said, "That doll you gave out earlier suddenly sent a message. Should we answer it?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Yato thought for a moment before remembering what it was about.
After his final battle with Uchiha Madara, he had left Madara a telephone doll, essentially allowing the two of them to stay in contact.
Uchiha Yato nodded, signaling for Tom Cat to bring out the telephone doll.
He held it up to his ear, curious about what Uchiha Madara wanted to say.
But the first words that came through completely stunned him.
"Uchiha Yato, you heartless bastard."
"I, Uchiha Madara, ******…"
(A lengthy tirade of expletives omitted—feel free to imagine it.)
Uchiha Yato had never expected Uchiha Madara to have such a shrewish, street-brawling side.
But then again, considering the location the Instant Teleportation Gate had sent him to, it wasn't entirely unreasonable.
After skipping over the barrage of curses, Uchiha Yato finally heard what he was waiting for.
The gist was simple.
Uchiha Madara wanted more of Uchiha Yato's medicine.
After taking it, Madara could genuinely feel his vitality being replenished, which filled him with even greater hope.
After some thought, Uchiha Yato decided to call him back.
After all, it was normal for an old man to have a temper. Uchiha Yato was a magnanimous person—how could he possibly nitpick with Uchiha Madara?
As soon as he heard Madara's voice, Uchiha Yato opened with:
"Amunos!"
Uchiha Madara, hearing this, had no idea what it meant.Uchiha Yato also took the opportunity to play dumb, saying, "No, no, just some local dialects I picked up from the Hidden Sand Village."
"No need to know so much, so let's talk about some other serious matters."
Uchiha Madara said, "So, what kind of medicine do you still have on hand? I need these drugs. What do you want in return?"
Uchiha Yato was actually pondering this question as well.
Truth be told, there wasn't much he particularly wanted. What could Uchiha Madara possibly offer him?
After some deliberation, he decided to get a little more experimental material for Orochimaru.
Uchiha Yato said, "How about giving me two White Zetsu bodies that are unconscious but have extremely high cellular activity?"
Hearing Uchiha Yato's words, Uchiha Madara also considered the feasibility of this request.
And what was Uchiha Yato's true purpose?
After a brief moment of thought, Uchiha Madara turned to Black Zetsu beside him and asked, "So, what's your take on this? Speak up, and let's discuss it."
Ever since Uchiha Yato had dropped hints—both overt and covert—during his last visit, Uchiha Madara had already begun to harbor suspicions about Black Zetsu's identity.
For a powerful and intelligent man like Uchiha Madara, the greatest paranoia was trust.
It could be said that, apart from Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara scrutinized the identities of everyone else.
Since Uchiha Yato's last visit, Black Zetsu had hardly had a single good day.
Last time, Uchiha Yato had given Black Zetsu a hard time.
Later, Uchiha Madara had suddenly traveled thousands of miles away, and it was only through Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's floating technique that he was brought back.
Otherwise, whether Uchiha Madara could have walked back on his own two feet was anyone's guess.
At this moment, no one spared a glance at Shimura Danzo, who was huddled in the corner.
The current pecking order in Uchiha Madara's little group was simple.
Uchiha Madara could bully Black Zetsu at will, Black Zetsu could bully Shimura Danzo at will, and the more intelligent White Zetsu could also bully Shimura Danzo.
It could be said that Shimura Danzo's life under Uchiha Madara was quite miserable.
Back to the main topic.
Black Zetsu replied, "Previously, Uchiha Yato discussed Wood Release with Orochimaru of the Hidden Leaf."
"From the current situation, the likelihood of Tsunade awakening Wood Release is very high, and she has already achieved some initial small successes."
At this point, Black Zetsu decided to stick to the truth.
"So, personally, I think it's still related to Wood Release. Uchiha Yato probably hopes to awaken another part of the power within his body as well."
Hearing this answer, Uchiha Madara pondered it carefully and found it plausible.
He quickly responded to Uchiha Yato, saying, "The White Zetsu bodies aren't a problem, but I have one condition."
Uchiha Yato was somewhat curious about this sudden condition.
Uchiha Madara continued, "If you develop a method to universally use Wood Release, you must tell me!"
Uchiha Yato smiled and said, "Absolutely no problem. When the time comes, I hope Lord Uchiha Madara will take a look at the Uchiha Clan Grounds."
"The newborns there are quite interesting now—I guarantee they won't disgrace our ancestors."
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara was relatively pleased.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, Uchiha Yato's actions had been beneficial to the entire Uchiha Clan.
With that, the two ended their conversation.Next, Tom Cat directly left the group to deliver items to Uchiha Madara and receive something in return. Meanwhile, Uchiha Yato was also rushing back on his way.
Two days later, the main contingent of the Hidden Leaf exchange group departed from the border of the Land of Wind.
As they walked through a dense forest, they suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Halt, you up ahead! Hand over your supplies or die!"
