The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 427 Makoto Awakens

Muye Village

Uchiha clan territory, hospital.

Drop...drop...drop...

Mayumi had a very long dream, with countless images flashing through his mind.

Fragmented and chaotic, these images ultimately culminated in the scene of his daughter Yumi being murdered.

"Yumi!" Mayumi suddenly opened her eyes.

But he found himself lying in the hospital.

"Father! You're awake!" The voice from beside her made Mayumi's pupils shrink sharply.

He turned his head stiffly and found that it was Yumi who had "died in front of him".

"Yumi!"

Mayumi tried to get out of bed, but he was too weak and almost rolled off.

Yumi quickly pressed down on Mayumi: "Father, I'm here. You're badly injured, don't move around."

Mayumi held her daughter's hand tightly, then looked her up and down and found that her daughter was fine.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What...what's wrong with me?..."

Mayumi found that apart from her language system being fine, her body was completely stiff, sore, and weak.

Yumi patted Mayumi's hand: "Father, have you forgotten? You went on a secret mission?"

"However, you are injured. The chieftain said it will take three to four months for you to wake up."

"It has been more than three months since you were injured."

"Three months?" Mayumi's memories were only slowly returning, and she remembered that she was going to do a secret mission.

However, she lost her memory midway through, and when she woke up later, her clan had been invaded by the Sand Village.

Sand Village invasion? Rock Village invasion?

Mayumi immediately realized that there was something wrong with her memory.

He raised his hands and saw that there were no wounds on either of them.

"Father, you don't know, while you were unconscious, our clan leader had already taken over as the Fifth Hokage."

Before Mayumi could even sort out his thoughts, his daughter, Yumi, gave him a huge surprise.

"What?! The clan leader became Hokage?! When did that happen?"

Yumi's face also showed the same pride: "Just a month ago."

"Our clan leader drove that parasite Hiruzen Sarutobi out of Konoha, and the other elders then elected our clan leader as Hokage."

"Oh dear! I can't talk to you anymore. I need to go report to Elder Fugaku and then go home to tell my mother."

Yu Mei excitedly said a few words before remembering that she had a mission.

"Elder Fugaku told you not to tell anyone about the secret mission before you see him. He will come and explain it to you."

With that, Yumi left the room.

Only Mayumi was left to slowly digest all of this.

A secret mission? Memory problems? The Mangekyou Sharingan!?

Mayumi's eyes darted around, and the three magatama transformed into three interlocking circles.

Mayumi stretched out a hand, and a part of Susanoo immediately appeared on it.

Could it be...?

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Mayumi immediately retracted Susanoo.

Click.

When the door opened, it wasn't Fugaku who arrived.

It's Itachi, and...

"Shisui!?" Mayumi was dumbfounded.

My first thought was that I was under a spell.

But it's clear that this isn't an illusion.

"Mayumi-senpai, it's been a long time."

Shisui gave a gentle smile.

In fact, Shisui had seen Mayumi before, but when he knocked Mayumi down, Mayumi didn't even look at him.

"Is it really you!?" When Shisui walked to the bedside, Mayumi pulled Shisui up and down to look him over.

Shisui was a rare mild-mannered Uchiha, and a child prodigy.

At just over ten years old, his strength was comparable to that of Mayumi and her generation.

The two sides had naturally dealt with each other before, and their relationship was fairly good.

Later, after Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength far surpassed that of these seniors who were half a generation older than him.

However, Shisui later died, and everything vanished like smoke.

Shisui smiled gently: "Congratulations, Mayumi-senpai."

"You are the only one who successfully completed this special mission."

Mayumi pondered, "So, this is what the chance to advance to the Mangekyou Sharingan means?"

Itachi replied, "Not everyone has this opportunity. You almost failed, Mayumi-senpai."

"So, Mayumi-senpai, please remember to keep this a secret."

Mayumi gave a wry smile: "No wonder I lost consciousness without any reaction; you must have done it."

Itachi nodded: "This is all the clan leader's idea."

Mayumi wasn't one to be sentimental; he simply sighed, "What's the deal with Shisui then?"

"That's another matter, and it's a secret for now."

Mayumi paused for a moment, then said, "Tell me about what's been happening lately."

……

Orochimaru's laboratory.

After Qianyao returned, he came here immediately to have his blood drawn for testing.

Orochimaru is currently looking at various data on the screen.

"That's enough. You now have enough Karin cells stored in your body."

"There is no longer any rejection reaction."

Just as Orochimaru was speaking, Kabuto Yakushi walked in.

"Lord Hokage, Mayumi has woken up."

Qian Yao nodded slightly. Zhen Gong had slept for quite a long time. Indeed, a slight difference in aptitude makes a world of difference.

Whether it's Shisui, Itachi, or Oriyu, it all happened naturally.

Mayumi's soul strength was just a little bit lacking before she almost died.

"I see, you go down."

Kabuto Yakushi is now excellent in every aspect, and Orochimaru has entrusted him with the entire responsibility for the project of improving Sage Mode.

Normally, they wouldn't come to report, but Mayumi's matter was very important, so they made a special trip.

Because of Mayumi's situation, Chiyo thought of Yakumo and Kato Dan's recent study of spirit transformation techniques.

"How is Yakumo's learning from Kato Dan going?"

Orochimaru was quite satisfied with Yakumo as his test subject:

“Ido has more potential than Kato Dan, and he will be a great help when he grows up.”

"However, Yakumo is still young and needs time to develop. You don't need to worry about it."

"Go and bring Karin over first. We can start the cell experiments now."

Qian Yao pondered for a moment: "How long will cell fusion take? Will I fall into a coma?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and twirled it around, a playful look on his face: "I'm not sure about that; the fusion time varies from person to person."

"Besides, you're the first test subject in this experiment, so I don't know if you'll fall into a coma."

"What, is there something you're worried about?"

Qianyao waved his hand and said, "No, I thought about it. This time I was injured, and Konoha has no one to lead the way."

"If I need a long recovery period and cannot appear, we need to make additional arrangements."

Orochimaru nodded: "That's fine then, how do you want to arrange it?"

Qianyao brought out the prepared statement he had already prepared: "I have made preparations for Yunyin."

"Now that Yugito has died on the way, Kumogakure will definitely not let this go."

"Although Sunagakure and Iwagakure have already retreated, they will definitely take advantage of the chaos when the demons arrive..."
