In a space hidden by a barrier, a massive laboratory stood tall.
Glowing liquids, flowing pipes, and numerous children's figures floated within the liquids inside gigantic cultivation devices.
Outside the cultivation room, in the monitoring area, several figures were busy at work.
A white-haired old man with orange glasses observed the scene inside and the data on the monitoring screens.
"Jigen, among these test subjects, two embryos are highly compatible with the data, but progress is not yet complete. There should be other reactions that require time to manifest."
A researcher in a white coat said to the old man, manipulating the data to project it above, presenting it bit by bit.
"Hmm, continue monitoring. We cannot disappoint Jigen."
Amado said, his eyes filled with the wisdom of a scientist. He took out the most popular brand of cigarette in the Ninja World from his pocket, lit it, and began to smoke.
Wisps of smoke rose in the laboratory, yet no one dared to say anything.
In this laboratory, Amado was the only person Jigen trusted most.
"Has anything major happened in the Ninja World recently?"
Amado asked about current events in the Ninja World.
Because the Ninja World had been changing rapidly in recent years, with various research technologies being developed, he paid special attention to the current development of technology in the Ninja World.
This would make his research more effective.
And only then could his daughter be perfectly resurrected.
However, he didn't know that in this world, there were many Ninjutsu that could perfectly resurrect people, but he lacked the corresponding intelligence.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have trusted Jigen.
The white-coated researcher said, "The tech company we are following hasn't released any new research announcements recently, but a major event has indeed occurred in the Ninja World: the hero of the Ninja World, the Three-Star Glory Ninja, Satoru, had both his son and daughter hold their weddings together. The event was unprecedentedly grand, even larger than Uzumaki Naruto's wedding."
As the person responsible for communication between the laboratory, the Kara, and the outside world, he was aware of these things.
"In addition, Boro has successively established the Great Stone Pillar Religion in the weak areas of the Ninja Alliance, preparing for resource collection and future development. It has already achieved certain results."
Upon hearing this, Amado's cigarette paused slightly.
"Satoru, he is a tricky fellow. Jigen wants to complete the vessel's reincarnation and plant the god tree to retrieve the god tree fruit. This is likely an obstacle that cannot be overlooked."
Only by eating the god tree fruit, as Jigen said, could they achieve their own wishes.
Among these, three individuals and the Five Great Ninja Villages were insurmountable obstacles.
Currently, the power of the Kara made any confrontation impossible.
Perhaps when Scientific Ninja Tools became more advanced, they could use their power to contend with the Five Great Ninja Villages.
"How is the Scientific Ninja Tools research at other experimental bases progressing?"
Amado asked again.
As for that fellow Boro, he wasn't surprised by his achievements.
The white-coated researcher replied, "Currently, the Kara has infiltrated various elder councils of the Five Great Nations. Most of the laboratories in various countries also have our people. The reports on various achievements are very encouraging. Perhaps soon, Scientific Ninja Tools useful for the 'vessel' can be researched."
Although the Kara had only just begun to develop in recent years, the time was not long.
But relying on Amado's wisdom and Jigen's power, they had already infiltrated multiple major country laboratories.
Even the core laboratories of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Their goal was to use the resources of various countries to develop better Scientific Ninja Tools, and finally, all Scientific Ninja Tools would be aggregated within the Kara for comprehensive development to unleash the strongest scientific power.
This was the strategy of Jigen and Amado.
Currently, they were no match for the Five Great Nations, so they could only resort to such unconventional methods.
"Very good. Be careful not to be discovered by the Ninja Alliance, otherwise, our arrangements might all be for naught."
Amado said.
"Yes, Jigen."
The white-coated researcher then exited the laboratory.
Leaving Amado in thought.
A wedding, huh? If his daughter hadn't died, she would probably be marrying some handsome boy by now.
A large smoke ring was exhaled from his mouth.
He hoped Jigen wouldn't disappoint him.
If he couldn't fulfill his wish, then he shouldn't blame him... Under the cherry blossoms.
Under the fireworks.
A pineapple-haired boy and a double-bunned girl, a boy and a girl.
On either side, they held hands with another pineapple-haired boy.
"I told you, Mom and Dad, I'm two years old now, not a little kid. You don't need to hold my hand, I can walk by myself."
Nara Shikadai sighed, seeing a chessboard on a table in the distance with an unfinished game. He wanted to go play.
The home of this legendary Ninja was indeed large.
And it was amazing; along the way, he had already seen many rarely used facilities, seemingly designed for children to play with, placed along the path.
From time to time, he would see aunts cleaning and wiping places that had gotten dirty.
Shikadai couldn't imagine someone's home being as large as walking through the Nara Clan's deer farm.
And there were many things that attracted adults as well.
"What did you say? This is love, you're not allowed to let go of my hand!" Temari said fiercely, also threatening Shikamaru not to speak.
Shikamaru awkwardly scratched his head.
What love? When could they not express love? She just wanted to show off her child in front of people she knew.
A family holding hands and walking at a wedding was also a beautiful thing.
Plus, due to busy work over the years, he hadn't seen his companions for a long time.
"Isn't Grandpa coming? He seemed to have watched Satoru grow up, right?"
Shikadai asked.
"He, Inoichi, and Choza arrived early. They're helping to host some things at the wedding!"
Shikamaru said.
He envied his father so much. He was already retired, spending his days drinking tea and playing shogi, occasionally attending a junior's wedding and helping out. It was too comfortable.
When could he end this life?
Thinking of Naruto's foolish head, Shikamaru could only sigh. He still had to work!
"Then, Dad, what was your wedding like?" Shikadai asked.
"That was definitely romantic, absolutely better than Satoru's," Temari said.
She was the princess of the Hidden Sand Village, marrying into the Nara Clan; both were prominent families.
Satoru was just an ordinary commoner.
Although he held an honorable title.
He was still a commoner.
He certainly couldn't compare to the family's heritage.
Shikadai: "Really? I found this place to be much bigger than our home. Even the wedding venue can't compare, right?"
Slap!
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head.
"You're ignorant. Don't make such comparisons next time, understand?" Temari realized it was true.
But she still patted Shikadai.
Shikamaru didn't dare to say a word beside them.
