380. Chapter 372: Kamui Space Bug, Something That Shouldn't Appear

"Didn't you see the sign over there?"

Only stunned for a moment, Senju Tobirama quickly adjusted, turned around, looked at Uchiha Madara, whose eyes were scarlet with anger, and pointed to not far away with a normal expression.

Uchiha Madara followed the direction Senju Tobirama pointed and saw a brand-new sign. With his good eyesight, he saw two large letters at a glance,

【W·C】

ヽ(#`Д)┌┛〃

"This was clearly just stuck in!"

Uchiha Madara kicked away the toilet sign that had just come out of the factory this morning. The soil turned up under the sign was so new; it was definitely someone's handiwork.

"Indeed."

Not expecting Senju Tobirama to admit it so generously, Uchiha Madara was caught off guard. His eyes sprayed fire, he gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists until they creaked.

"How do you want to die?"

"Wait, let me finish."

Senju Tobirama raised a hand, his serious expression not looking fake.

"Caught you in the act, what else do you have to argue about?"

"The Valley of the End, as a pillar tourism project of Konoha Village, has always been a key development and protection target of the village. Before, many tourists reflected that the basic supporting facilities here couldn't keep up, so I drafted several basic facility proposals. This toilet is one of them."

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Seeing Senju Tobirama speaking in a logical way, Uchiha Madara was so angry he almost fainted. To stand on my head and pee, you white-haired guy really know how to talk nonsense.

"I have the development project book signed and stamped by Big Brother here."

Senju Tobirama took out a stack of red-headed documents from his body unhurriedly, searched for a while, pulled out one, and threw it to Uchiha Madara, who was gnashing his teeth.

"This..."

It was indeed Senju Hashirama's handwriting, and the project was exactly the planning list for the new public toilet in the Valley of the End.

"I don't lie to fools~"

"Wait!"

Uchiha Madara suddenly found a blind spot, pointed to the public toilet specifications written on the document, and questioned loudly,

"Why are your public toilet specifications different from those in the document?"

The document marked it as a modern public toilet that is spacious, bright, and has smooth water supply and drainage, while the one in front of him was clearly an open-air dry toilet.

"Sigh... a clever woman can't cook without rice. Konoha's finances are tight, so I had to make the public toilet sign first. As for the main body, I have to wait for the funds to be in place..."

"So that's how it is. Then I

Senju Tobirama shook his head with a look of confusion. That pained and heartbroken expression almost fooled Uchiha Madara, but fortunately, his cousin was also a high-level official who knew about Konoha's financial issues, so he immediately tossed the document in his hand aside.

"There is so much money in Konoha's accounts, yet you're telling me the funds for repairing public toilets couldn't be allocated in time?"

"Tsk."

With a curl of his lip, Senju Tobirama gave a soft, dismissive tsk, his expression becoming somewhat shifty.

"The current approval process is quite cumbersome; occasional funding delays are normal."

Spouting lies that even a ghost wouldn't believe, Senju Tobirama cursed inwardly at the shipping company he had invested in on his own authority.

It was clearly promised that he would break even in three years and take off in five. Over a decade had passed, and aside from the first dividend, the only things he had seen were the tea and pastries sent during the holidays.

"Hmph~ Once Haxi Lama recovers, I must join forces with him to audit the accounts and see if Konoha is harboring some red-eyed, white-haired rat."

Uchiha Madara seemed to have sensed Senju Tobirama's guilty conscience. He hadn't expected such an unexpected harvest from this trip, which finally allowed him to catch this white-haired guy's pigtail. He picked up the document, put it away, and prepared to thoroughly check the flow of funds since the village's founding once this matter was over.

As for Senju Tobirama peeing on his statue's head, Uchiha Madara naturally couldn't let that slide either. Once he finished investigating this guy's corruption, he would definitely make him lick it clean.

"Truly the naturally evil Uchiha; just their gaze makes me feel uncomfortable."

Not understanding why Uchiha Madara had suddenly given up on pursuing his act of venting anger on the statue's head, and was instead looking at him with a strange, peculiar expression, Senju Tobirama felt a faint sense of dread from the look in his eyes.

The conflict between the two ended temporarily, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence. Uchiha Madara, disgusted by the strong stench on his head, leaped over to the top of Senju Hashirama's head opposite him, while Senju Tobirama stood still with his arms crossed, admiring his handiwork.

"Sorry, we're late!"

As the appointed time approached, six figures sped out from the nearby forest. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the leader, saw the two standing on the statue's head and, without hesitation, landed directly in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Greetings, Lord Branch Secretary!"

Shimura Danzo naturally followed closely behind. Not only did he land in front of Senju Tobirama, but being quite cunning, he also performed a very formal single-knee kneel, bowing respectfully to his teacher. A smug smile appeared on his lowered face, but the damp ground made him feel suspicious.

Huh? Why are my palms and knees feeling cold? It didn't rain last night, did it?

Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Akimichi Torifu also landed before Senju Tobirama, but the three who did not serve in the Anbu were not as sycophantic as Danzo and simply stood there to salute.

"Hmm."

Senju Tobirama nodded faintly, but the provocative look in his eyes as he glanced at Uchiha Madara was undisguised.

Uchiha Madara naturally saw it, and his face instantly turned livid.

"Greetings, Lord Clan Leader!"

Fortunately, there was one of his own. Uchiha Kagami, unwilling to see his clan leader left in an awkward silence, chose to land in front of the cold-faced Uchiha Madara and, imitating Danzo, bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, rise."

It was a good thing Uchiha Kagami was there to support him; Uchiha Madara's expression softened slightly, and he nodded at this sensible grand-nephew.

"Since everyone is here, let's set off now."

Senju Tobirama landed in front of Uchiha Madara with his five disciples. He first looked at the pure-natured Uchiha Kagami with a gratified gaze, then spoke.

"As for the mission details, we'll discuss them on the way."

"Teacher, let me help you carry your luggage~"

Seeing the small backpack on Senju Tobirama's back, Shimura Danzo, being very observant, stepped forward and reached out to take it, only to be dodged by the other party.

"No need, I am not yet that old."

Senju Tobirama, with a tense face, looked at Shimura Danzo's large hand and refused with a polite but firm tone.

He had seen it clearly: Danzo had knelt right on the authentic "Water Style" he had just performed.

"Yes."

Not expecting his flattery to backfire, Shimura Danzo withdrew his hand in embarrassment and began to wonder why Senju Tobirama was looking at him with slight disgust.

"Target: Land of Rain."

Senju Tobirama turned around, confirmed the previously planned route, and spoke in a low voice to his disciples.

Eight figures were shuttling through the jungle at high speed. Running at the very front was the expressionless Uchiha Madara, while those following closely behind stayed near Senju Tobirama, listening to him explain the ins and outs of this mission.

From Uchiha Madara receiving the invitation to the Knight Battle, to Senju Hashirama suddenly falling ill and lapsing into a coma, Senju Tobirama briefly integrated the intelligence and repeated it to his disciples.

"... And our main task is to supervise Uchiha Madara's battle and ensure he doesn't cause any trouble."

Although Senju Tobirama said he was supervising Uchiha Madara, his main purpose for this trip was the worry that knights from other villages might bring reinforcements. After all, the invitation did not explicitly state that knights could not bring support teams.

If the other side joined forces and used a powerful support team to provide supplies, wearing Uchiha Madara down to death, wouldn't Senju Hashirama be finished as well?

"Understood! We will definitely keep a close eye on him!"

Danzo nodded fiercely, taking the lead in patting his chest to guarantee it.

"Teacher, Lord Clan Leader can still distinguish right from wrong when it comes to major issues~"

Uchiha Kagami, who was familiar with Uchiha Madara's personality, couldn't help but speak up to defend his clan leader. Senju Tobirama nodded inwardly upon hearing this, and the look he gave the other party held a bit more appreciation.

Both are curly-haired, so why is there such a difference in character?

Uchiha Gin: Achoo!

"Hmph! Just don't drag me down."

Uchiha Madara heard the group behind him discussing him, immediately let out a cold snort, and said without looking back.

"Teacher, will the Tailed Beast Knights from other villages really participate?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened silently to Senju Tobirama's explanation. His furrowed brows did not relax for a moment. After pondering for a while, he asked a more practical question.

"I have already received intelligence that the Tailed Beast Knights from other villages are already on their way to the competition venue."

Although time was tight, Senju Tobirama, who never played the fool, had purchased the latest news on the Tailed Beast Knights from several other villages at a high price from a reliable intelligence dealer overnight. He learned that they had set off days ago, making Konoha the slowest one.

"But why was the competition venue chosen in the Land of Rain?"

Utatane Koharu raised her hand; she was very curious why the location for this competition was in the obscure Land of Rain.

"The Land of Rain borders several major countries and is an extremely important strategic location. I'm afraid the initiator of this competition isn't just organizing a simple tournament."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was well-versed in conspiracy theories at a young age, analyzed it seriously, speaking in a way that was logical and convincing.

"That's what I thought too!"

Danzo, who was still racking his brains over this question, immediately added a "+1."

"No, the invitation explained this issue."

Recalling the contents of the invitation, Senju Tobirama shook his head with a strange look on his face.

"He said, rainy days and knights go better together."

Land of Rain.

A drizzling rain drifted through the gray sky. Since the day this country was founded, the continuous rain had never ceased, hence it was crowned with the name Land of Rain.

Due to the influence of the year-round rainy season, this country had countless inland lakes of all sizes, which compressed the already scarce living space. Ordinary people had no choice but to leave their homes, resulting in the population being in a state of negative growth year-round.

However, even under such difficult conditions, the Land of Rain had a makeshift troupe set up by local ninjas. These guys, who called themselves Rain Ninjas, established a ninja village called Amegakure in this forgotten land abandoned by the gods.

Although the strength of these Rain Ninjas wasn't very high, they excelled at tinkering. After years of effort, they really did come up with some flashy things, such as their notorious assassination techniques.

However, Kirigakure had been filing complaints about the copyright of this aspect, as the moves these Rain Ninjas used looked very much like Kirigakure's style.

Relying on their passable assassination techniques, Amegakure could barely take on some fragmented missions, preventing them from disbanding on the spot and becoming nameless rogue ninjas that everyone wanted to beat up.

Beside a relatively vast inland lake in the Land of Rain, Uchiha Gin, who had emerged from the void, looked thoughtfully at the boundless lake in front of him. Behind him in the distance were some steel towers under construction.

"Why do I always feel like this place looks familiar?"

Accompanied by a vortex, Uchiha Gin appeared and landed on a stone pillar half-exposed in the water. He scratched his head in confusion, two pinwheels slowly rotating in his scarlet eyes.

"I feel like setting off fireworks in this spot would definitely look great~"

Rubbing his chin and thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gin felt he shouldn't waste any more time on this issue. Several knights had already arrived in the Land of Rain, and he had to quickly create a stage full of style to highlight the legitimacy of the competition.

"Use Wood Style? No, no~"

Since he had chosen this place to build the stage, Uchiha Gin habitually clapped his hands together, just about to perform a grand Earth and Wood technique, when he suddenly remembered that there were his own people among those coming.

Others might not have deep research into Wood Style, but that white-haired guy was different. If he used Wood Style to create things, it would definitely arouse Senju Tobirama's suspicion. So, Uchiha Gin lowered his hands and turned to ponder other methods.

"How about stacking one with gold bricks?"

"No! Too vulgar. This is a high-end match~"

The first vulgar plan was instantly vetoed by Uchiha Gin himself. He relied on strength to gather people for the match; using gold would make him seem insincere.

Knights: Sincere! Very sincere! We love this kind of thing!

"Right~"

Uchiha Gin, who was deep in thought, suddenly remembered a place. There was plenty of ready-made stone material there, which would be perfect for building the stage for the Knight Battle.

No sooner said than done, Uchiha Gin straightened up, the pattern in his eyes shifted, and his whole body was sucked into a vortex, disappearing from the spot.

"Kamui!"

Kamui Dimension.

This different dimension, unique to the Mangekyo, was dark and boundless. But Uchiha Gin had the blessing of the Sharingan and could see through the haze before him. In the seemingly endless Kamui Dimension, what met his eyes were neat, large blocks of stone, which were perfect for use as the foundation for the stage.

"Besides being a garbage dump, your ocular technique isn't entirely useless~"

Uchiha Gin looked at these standing stone materials and grinned. After praising the practicality of the Kamui Dimension, he began to move the stone materials outside. The huge square stone pillars were lifted by him with ease, and after being removed, he just needed to toss them outside.

Rumble~

Rumble~

Just as Uchiha Gin was dismantling happily, a black shadow on a stone pillar in the distance caught his attention. He thought it was the large garbage he had tossed before, but when he walked over to take a look, he almost scared his eyeballs out.

"Am I dreaming?"

Cold sweat covered Uchiha Gin's forehead. Since his debut, he had never felt such shock. Seeing the scene before him, he had a sense of déjà vu of space-time displacement.

In front of Uchiha Gin lay a very peaceful corpse, wearing the black-bottomed red-cloud robe he was extremely familiar with. Looking at the white-haired man who no longer had a trace of life, he rubbed his eyes again.

"This shouldn't be. Did I transmigrate again?"

Nagato Uzumaki, the boss with the strongest sense of oppression in the mid-Naruto era, bar none. Although the main body looked like a prematurely aged little prisoner who had over-masturbated, the Six Paths of Pain he controlled still left a very deep impression on all Naruto fans.

"Wait, let me sort this out. This wouldn't be an NPC spawned by the system for me, would it?"

After a brief moment of confusion, Uchiha Gin immediately thought of the system that didn't play by the rules. Could it be that the brain-dead system defaulted the Kamui Dimension to his backyard, so it directly spawned an NPC? It's just that the luck this time was quite bad, with only a corpse.

"Ding~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was complaining, the familiar system prompt sounded again. He breathed a sigh of relief this time; it seemed it really was the system's doing.

"Detected that the host is in an unstable timeline, system correction starting..."

"Huh?"

It wasn't the prompt content he had imagined. Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion. What did it mean by an unstable timeline? He hadn't been lingering in the Kamui Dimension, and he hadn't encountered such a prompt before.

"Repair successful, repair successful."

Before the brainstorming ended, Uchiha Gin heard the system's follow-up prompts. In his surprised gaze, the peaceful-looking Nagato Uzumaki (corpse limited) began to blur, and in no time, he disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin broke into a cold sweat again. Was this situation telling him that the appearance of Nagato Uzumaki's corpse wasn't intentional by the system, but that this Kamui Dimension had some kind of bug?

"System, system, can you give me an explanation?"

He always felt things weren't that simple. Uchiha Gin tried to communicate with the trash system, but the other party read it and didn't reply, making him feel extremely frustrated.

Early access players have no human rights, right?

The stone materials had been collected, and Uchiha Gin was in no mood to linger. This Kamui Dimension seemed to have a bug; he shouldn't let it treat him as a virus and optimize him away as well.

"Eh? What is this?"

Just as Uchiha Gin turned to leave, a small thing remained where Nagato Uzumaki had just been lying.

Bending down to pick it up, Uchiha Gin was full of confusion. Logically speaking, this thing should have been repaired away too, right?

Looking at the pure white rose made of paper in his hand, Uchiha Gin fell into deep thought. He always felt he should have pretended not to see this thing. Why did his hands itch and he picked it up?
