Chapter 605 The Interesting Little Mouse

As soon as Madara Uchiha spoke, the hall seemed to be affected by him, and suddenly fell silent, with no one daring to speak.

After a while, just as everyone was getting a little impatient, Bai Jue paused for a moment, then let out a cheerful sound.

"Found it, found it, we've found Jiraiya's trail."

Madara Uchiha naturally heard White Zetsu's voice, turned around, and asked succinctly.

"where?"

"We're about to reach Amegakure from the Land of Rain. It seems they're planning to gather intelligence there."

Since Amegakure was originally the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization, it was naturally the place with the most White Zetsu clones.

Moreover, Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki, and others had already betrayed them.

Although the most important Rinnegan was not in their hands, they were still regarded as a thorn in the side by Obito Uchiha and his group, who wished they could get rid of it as soon as possible.

Therefore, Jiraiya's arrival in Amegakure at this time was like walking into a trap.

Upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha did not hesitate. After glancing at the towering Gedo Mazo, he turned and walked outside.

"go!"

The Black and White Zetsu and the others who were behind Uchiha Madara naturally obeyed Uchiha Madara's words, so after exchanging glances, they also followed behind him.

As Madara Uchiha and the others left, the burning light sources here slowly went out, leaving only a silent hall and the faintly glowing Gedo Mazo, as if it had fallen into a period of recuperation in preparation for a future eruption.

Meanwhile, Konoha Village

Medical Department

After Uchiha Kakuzan brought the critically ill Uchiha Itachi to the hospital, the entire medical department descended into chaos.

"Quickly, this person is about to die, Team A, come and save him!"

Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha's dire condition, the medical ninjas from the medical department immediately began their rescue efforts.

After taking Uchiha Itachi away, the leading medical ninja respectfully asked:

"Lord Qiu Shan, how should we treat this person?"

Uchiha Okayama's outstanding medical ninjutsu didn't come from nowhere; it was the result of hard work and training in the medical department, coupled with Tsunade's unreserved guidance, that led to his current achievements.

Therefore, any senior member of the medical department would naturally know Uchiha Okayama's status and medical expertise.

And since Itachi Uchiha was brought here by him, of course he should ask for his opinion.

Upon hearing this person's words, Uchiha Kakuzan sighed slightly and then continued:

"This person's bloodline disease is incurable. His body is on the verge of collapse, and death is only a matter of days. Let him suffer less."

Uchiha Sasuke was also standing nearby, with water droplets constantly dripping from his body, looking quite disheveled.

But Sasuke didn't care about any of that at the moment. After hearing what Teacher Qiushan said, he couldn't help but ask in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Teacher, my brother's injuries..."

Uchiha Kakuzan naturally understood what Sasuke meant, and reached out to gently pat his head, his expression softening slightly.

“Sasuke, I understand what you mean. In fact, if I or your teacher Tsunade had intervened, your brother could have lived a few more days.”

However, his body is now on the verge of collapse, at the cellular level, and the pain is terrifying.

Even the best painkillers cannot completely block out pain.

"Can you really bear to let Itachi die in agony?"

Sasuke understood this principle perfectly well; he had only subconsciously tried to save his brother's life.

So after hearing what Teacher Qiushan said, he was speechless for a moment. His Mangekyou Sharingan appeared automatically, but he could only spin in his eyes in vain.

After comforting Sasuke, Uchiha Kakuyama turned to the cautious medical ninja standing to the side and said:

"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Use the No. 5 potion that Godai and I just developed. That way, we can minimize the pain."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's instructions, the medical ninja quickly replied:

"Yes, Lord Qiu."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly toward the medical room.

Just then, the man seemed to see something and shouted in a very serious tone to someone hiding in a corner:

"Sakura, the medical room is short-staffed. Why are you slacking off here? Come with me and help out."

The person hiding in the corner was Sakura. Although she did not become Tsunade's apprentice, she became a medical ninja by chance.

However, unlike in the original work, although she possesses very precise control over chakra, without Tsunade's careful guidance, she is only at the beginner level in medical ninjutsu, and her overall strength is at the bottom even among Chunin.

Sakura, who was hiding in the corner, was planning to comfort Sasuke later, but she didn't expect to be caught red-handed.

Upon hearing this, he immediately shuddered. After glancing at Sasuke with some reluctance, he ultimately followed the medical ninja and quickly walked into the medical department.

Sakura, being such a minor character, naturally couldn't attract Uchiha Kakuzan's attention, so after glancing at them, he spoke to Sasuke again:

"Sasuke, your most important task right now is to go to Shikkotsu Forest to train in Sage Mode."

It should be noted that Naruto had already entered Mount Myōboku a few days ago to begin his training.

You should also know that Naruto's talent is actually quite good, especially considering his status as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

I believe that once he successfully masters Sage Mode, he'll be able to surpass you.

Sasuke was well aware of his master's blatant provocation.

So after hearing his words, and after a brief silence, she spoke:

"Master, rest assured, after I send my brother off on his final journey, I will go to the Wet Bone Forest to cultivate."

Sasuke paused slightly at this point, but continued:

"Furthermore, I want to transplant my brother's Sharingan first, so that when I'm training in Sage Mode, it won't delay the upgrade of my Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Hearing Sasuke's rational words, Uchiha Kakuzan was slightly taken aback, then patted him on the shoulder and said:

"As long as you have an idea."

At that moment, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to sense something, his eyes automatically transformed into the Rinnegan, and he looked toward a strange place with an amused expression on his face.

"Oh?"

Sasuke naturally noticed the change in Teacher Qiushan and asked, somewhat puzzled:

Teacher, what's wrong?

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Uchiha Kakuzan revealed a strange smile:

"It's nothing, I just found a very interesting little mouse. You wait here for the weasel to wake up, I'll be right back."

As soon as Uchiha Kakuyama finished speaking, he vanished from the spot, leaving Sasuke somewhat bewildered.
