Chapter 367, Generation 3: I don't covet power and wealth; I'm simply trying to stabilize
It's not right to kill a pregnant woman every time she breastfeeds.
Moreover, there is no human habitation for miles around in the sea, so we should catch a female shark.
Do fish lay eggs or spawn?
It seems to be for laying eggs; whales probably wouldn't be a suitable animal either.
What am I thinking? Why do I only think about things in the sea when I get to the beach, instead of mammals on land?
Humans are mammals, after all!
The crying probably gave him a headache, and he was also confused by the child.
How could those mothers find these humans so adorable? They're practically demons reincarnated...
However, in the end, Obito Uchiha looked at the meatball in his hand and still couldn't bring himself to throw it into the sea to feed the sharks.
After a long time, Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth, activated the Kamui dimension, and began traveling to various places.
He first caught a nursing mother cat, but it didn't work, and Naruto spat it out in disgust; then he caught a female dog, and Naruto drank from it twice before starting to cry again; finally, he even caught a female deer, and Naruto did drink from it, but then he vomited it out and continued to cry.
Obito is really on the verge of a breakdown.
Finally, on a whim, he took a can of milk powder from a high-end store in Taki no Kami.
The milk powder was beautifully packaged, with "Taki no Kuni Premium Infant Formula Milk Powder" printed on the can, and the price tag clearly stated: 50,000 taels.
Obito stared at the number, his lips twitching involuntarily.
Expensive, really too expensive.
Why is Takinoko's milk powder so expensive? Is there gold in it?
No, actually it contains all the trace elements the human body needs, and in the perfect proportions.
Don't ask why it's so perfect; the answer is that the breast milk is all-natural, with zero additives, and the raw materials are mysterious and special.
But after Naruto drank it, he miraculously became quiet.
The little girl sucked on the bottle with her mouth, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she looked completely satisfied.
"..." Obito looked at the finally calm baby in his arms, his feelings extremely complicated. "You really are picky about food."
A can of milk powder costs 50,000 taels, enough for only five days. After a rough calculation, his expression behind the mask darkened completely.
"Never mind," Obito muttered to himself helplessly, "I'm going to train you to be the strongest weapon, so naturally I won't skimp on your food."
He took out all his savings and went to get ten more cans.
After Naruto finished drinking his milk, he let out a burp and then gave Obito a toothless smile.
That smile was innocent and pure, and her bright blue eyes sparkled like two stars.
Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment. This brat actually smiled at me. He'll be crying one day.
However, immediately afterward, a warm liquid was poured onto his clothes.
Naruto Uchiha actually peed, and he peed all over him, but he just laughed even harder.
"..."
Obito closed his eyes and took a deep, deep breath.
"If I didn't need to keep you alive to deal with Konoha, I would throw you into the sea right now."
He gritted his teeth and began to change his clothes.
After a long while, Obito Uchiha suddenly realized: he clearly possessed the abilities of intangibility and teleportation, so why did he have to pay? Why couldn't he just take it?
He's so stupid! He's basically doing business with no risk at all!
Besides, this wretched world already owes him something, so what's wrong with stealing a little something?
He not only wanted to steal, but also to destroy this place, to destroy the facade of peace and prosperity before them, and to uncover the cruel truth they were unwilling to face.
"Little one, starting today, I'll teach you your first lesson."
Obito looked at the baby in his arms, his voice turning cold, "From now on, whatever you want, just take it by force. There's no need to pay. Only power matters."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eye sockets rotated slightly, and he took all the milk powder in the warehouse into his alternate dimension.
See how easy it is? Those ordinary people didn't even notice.
The Fourth Hokage's funeral was held three days later.
It was raining that day, and the leaden clouds hung low, as if the heavens were weeping for Konoha.
The entire village was shrouded in grief and unease, the streets were filled with mourners, and black and white mourning banners hung on every utility pole.
The Third Hokage stood on the rooftop of the Hokage's office building, gazing at the silent crowd below.
Several more wrinkles appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with undisguised weariness and aging.
Danzo stood not far behind him, with the Root members staying close by.
His face remained calm and expressionless, but his eyes held an barely suppressed anticipation.
The Fourth Hokage is dead, and the position of Hokage is vacant.
Even if we follow the order, shouldn't it be his turn by now?
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was already very old, and even he himself admitted that his physical strength was not as good as before.
Among the younger generation, there are no capable candidates to shoulder this important responsibility.
Danzo Shimura had been waiting for this opportunity for decades.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped to the front of the stage, ready to announce the final decision, Danzo's lips subtly curled into a smile.
Then, the Third Hokage slowly spoke: "I hereby announce that I will return to the village to temporarily assume the position of Hokage until the village is restored to peace and a suitable successor is found."
The audience was initially silent, then erupted in deafening cheers.
"Sandaime! Sandaime! Sandaime!"
The villagers called out that familiar name, and hope rekindled in their eyes.
In times of crisis, they need a familiar face, someone who can give them a sense of security.
Danzo Shimura's smile froze on his face instantly.
Why? Why you again? Are you so greedy for power?
Hiruzen, you know perfectly well what I want, so why won't you give me the Hokage position!
Anger spread from his heart to his internal organs, scorching everything; jealousy drove him almost mad, yet his face remained calm, only his expression shifted from anticipation to gloom.
He stopped listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's long-winded explanations; to him, they were all nonsense and utterly repulsive.
"Let's go." He whispered to the Root members behind him, then turned and left the venue.
The applause and cheers from the surrounding crowd were extremely jarring, and the smiles on their faces were even more blinding.
Why? Why you again?
"Hiruzen...you've blocked my path once again..." Danzo's voice was so low that only he could hear it, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "You've blocked my path once again."
Then, his figure disappeared into the rain, taking his thirty years of resentment and bitterness back underground, into the darkness.
Just as he belonged to the underground, to the darkness, like a rat in a sewer, only daring to do shady things in the shadows.
"Hiruzen, don't blame me for being ruthless this time, you've gone too far!" Shimura Danzo sat in his underground base, his voice icy. "I'm going to take action and eliminate the Hokage!"
