Tanzō sighed ruefully in his heart.
However, upon hearing Tanzō's words, The Third Hokage's expression immediately turned cold. Glaring coldly at Tanzō, he demanded, "Tanzō! Am I spoiling you? Don't my orders carry any weight anymore?"
"You saw her attitude just now. She's been unhappy with both of us for a long time. Who knows what kind of ideas she'll implant in Uchiha Gen?"
"Besides, she can't possibly control an Uchiha."
Upon hearing this, Tanzō angrily thumped his walking stick on the floor in frustration and said, "Exactly because Uchiha Gen is so talented, Tsunade shouldn't be allowed to teach him."
"What a shame. The Wood Release experiment has never succeeded. Otherwise, if I had Wood Release at my disposal and the Mangekyo Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye) in my eyes, neither Madara Uchiha nor The First Hokage would be a match for me. The future ninja world would surely bow at my feet."
The more talented Uchiha Gen was, the less Tanzō wanted to let this opportunity slip away.
"Maybe this Uchiha Gen has a shot at awakening the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye). And when that happens... heh heh! Won't his eyes be mine?"
"Do I really need to spell it out for you?"
He was extremely eager for the power of the Uchiha clan.
If he had a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye), he believed he wouldn't be any worse than Madara Uchiha.
"Uchiha Gen is my grand - disciple. I'm ordering you not to touch him. Otherwise, don't blame me for being harsh! Humph!"
He knew exactly what Tanzō had in mind.
If he really handed the person over to Tanzō, he might end up being used against him in the future.
Tanzō thought maliciously to himself.
Truly old loves!
Their shameless looks are about the same.
"You..."
Hearing The Third Hokage's direct interrogation, Tanzō's face immediately turned pale. A cold glint flickered in his eyes and then vanished. Heavily thumping his walking stick on the floor, he stormed off, saying, "Hiruzen, you're gonna regret this!"
After saying that, he just slammed the door behind him and left.
On his way out,
He couldn't help but sneer. He thought to himself, "Hiruzen, do you really think that just because you stop me from doing anything, I won't?"
"No way!"
"The more you do this, the more set I am on getting Uchiha Gen."
"Don't worry. I'll definitely brainwash him into a top - notch tool and weapon. And when the time comes, I'll make sure he comes after you first. Humph!"
At the Hokage's office,
"This Tanzō is getting more and more arrogant. It seems I've got to find a way to rein in his power and limit the growth of ROOT,"
The Third Hokage thought with a gloomy face.
...
In a flash, three months passed.
During this time, The Third Hokage specifically came to see Uchiha Gen a few times.
Every time, he would pull Uchiha Gen aside for a few hours to talk, attempting to instill in Uchiha Gen the so-called Will of Fire.
Of course, Uchiha Gen listened with a pleasant look, acting really admiring of The Third Hokage.
This made The Third Hokage really happy.
As for what he was really thinking, only he knew.
Of course, all this caught Tsunade's eye, and she didn't say much.
After all, The Third Hokage had always been her teacher.
Moreover, she knew only too well how smart Uchiha Gen, this little scamp, was.
Her own teacher actually wanted to brainwash and hoodwink Gen?
It was simply like casting pearls before swine, wishful thinking.
This kid had a higher perspective on things than everyone in Konoha.
His values and thoughts were already extremely mature. How could they be swayed by The Third Hokage's paltry means?
Don't end up being misled and confounded by Gen instead.
Then she...
Hehe! By then, she probably would only gloat and laugh at her own teacher, right?
This kind of relationship between a kind teacher and a filial disciple was just like this.
One day, in Tsunade's office,
"You don't need to come to the Ninja Hospital so often recently. Go and practice on your own!"
"It seems you haven't practiced much ninjutsu yet, have you?"
"Here... Take this. Inside is the cultivation method of my signature Gitai technique, Strength of a Hundred Styles. Take it and learn by yourself! If you have any questions, just come and ask me!"
"Go quickly!"
Tsunade waved her hand impatiently at Gen, shooing him away.
It was really because she had been almost exhausted by Gen!
She had witnessed with her own eyes how Gen surpassed her step by step in Mystical Palm Technique within just three months, achieving something even better than the master.
She used to consider herself a genius.
But in front of Gen, she felt as dumb as a donkey.
She really couldn't teach this disciple anymore. It was so bloody frustrating and demoralizing.
"Teacher, don't you want me anymore?"
Gen looked at Tsunade pitifully and said.
"Eww... Aren't you gross? I've got goosebumps all over!"
Tsunade's hair stood on end immediately, and she quickly rubbed her hands.
Then, she reached out irritably, pinched both sides of Gen's cheeks, pulled them and scowled: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're cute! Do you think I don't know how mature you are in your thoughts?"
This kid couldn't be regarded as an ordinary child of the same age at all.
"Un... So unjust, teacher!"
Gen directly raised his hands in surrender.
And looked at Tsunade resentfully.
What's wrong with her? Why does she always keep pinching his face? Doesn't he have any dignity?
"Heh!"
Tsunade sneered, then suddenly hugged Gen tightly in her arms and ruffled his hair roughly a few times, making it a mess.
Then, without hesitation, she pushed Gen away with one hand and waved: "Scram!"
"Heartless woman!"
Gen left such a sentence fiercely and quickly slipped out.
Tsunade found it really funny: "This kid!"
What the hell "heartless woman".
She was his teacher, for crying out loud!
It's as if she had done something terrible to him.
.....
Gen walked towards the Uchiha Clan Land from the Ninja Hospital.
"I've mastered all Mystical Palm Techniques and can use them proficiently. After that, I just need to spend some time cultivating them all to the peak;"
"I don't need to come to the Ninja Hospital so often for now. I can just bring back the unread books and read them slowly."
Gen thought as he walked.
"Besides, ninjutsu cultivation, development, and the in-depth development of Gitai techniques should also be put on the agenda."
Recently, he had been deeply immersed in the study of Mystical Palm Technique, medical knowledge, and hands-on surgical practice.
It was really exhausting, but he did learn a whole lot.
This finally enabled him to complete the establishment of the medical system in the ninja world.
In the future, as long as he adds some book materials and herbal medicine information, it'll be almost done.
In this way, when he studies bloodlines, ninjutsu, Gitai, etc. in the future, he won't encounter too many obstacles in terms of medical knowledge.
Conducting experiments will also become much simpler.
Consequently, his control over Chakra has also seen a qualitative improvement.
"I didn't expect that the teacher actually gave me Strength of a Hundred Technique directly. This is something worthy of in-depth research and expansion," he thought.
"I should be able to build a more complete combat system based on this. By then, I'll surely give the teacher a big surprise," Uchiha Gen thought cheerfully.
Before he knew it, Uchiha Gen had arrived at a more secluded area.
Suddenly, Uchiha Gen casually glanced at the forests on both sides in front.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, four ninjas sprang out from the forests on both sides and directly surrounded Uchiha Gen, blocking his way in all directions.
The one leading them stared at Uchiha Gen with an emotionless voice and cold eyes, and said in an imperative tone, "Uchiha Gen, come with us. Lord Tanzō requests your presence!"

Meanwhile, they all had an air of confidence, as if Uchiha Gen was already in their pocket.
They didn't consider Tsunade's thoughts at all, let alone Uchiha Gen's thoughts.
Tanzō had never concealed his ambitions.
Moreover, as previously mentioned, Uchiha Gen was crucial to his plan to control the Uchiha clan. He would never compromise.
"Hiruzen, you're being muddle-headed!"
In his opinion, Tanzō's eagerness to completely wipe out the Uchiha clan is too extreme and despicable.
Wouldn't it be better to bring them under his control?
These two guys never seem to consider Uchiha Gen's own opinion.
"Only by handing the person over to me, letting him join ROOT, and allowing me to train and brainwash him. I swear, I'll brainwash him into a die-hard loyal to Konoha and us," he said.
"Hiruzen, you have to listen to me this time!"
