Sanju Amado is one of the few scientists in the Ninja World who can rival Orochimaru, and with Jigen's support, his 'insight' and 'vision' surpass even Orochimaru's.
He could create a cyborg stronger than Jigen, to the point that Jigen felt it was uncontrollable and ordered Boro to destroy it.
However, Boro was also affected by Ada's Divine Technique and did not destroy them; instead, he secretly hid Ada and Demon.
When Jigen learned of this, he did not punish Boro. At that time, he was almost killed by Uchiha Yoichi's Tenseigan Clone. If he hadn't escaped quickly, Otsutsuki Isshiki might have had to reincarnate prematurely, and the tremendous power at that time would have destroyed Jigen's body, ending his life.
Luckily, he escaped, but the price was losing the Ten-tails.
"Bastard...."
After leaving Amado's place, Jigen found it hard to remain calm, or rather, it was Otsutsuki Isshiki inside Jigen.
Since arriving on this planet, nothing had gone smoothly. First, he was betrayed and ambushed by Kaguya, taking him a thousand years to recover his strength. Then, just as he was slowly recovering, the Ten-tails was taken, and he almost had to reincarnate.
Now, the vessel wasn't fully cultivated, and although the Wedge was carved, releasing Otsutsuki Isshiki's power prematurely would force him into reincarnation... At that time, Otsutsuki Isshiki would have to passively accept the Wedge on Kawaki's body slowly thawing, and if any accident midway caused Kawaki's death.
He would truly die!
Considering this, Jigen did not choose to reclaim the Ten-tails right after it was taken; instead, he returned to heal his wounds to prevent uncontrolled entry into the reincarnation stage.
"The Ten-tails must be reclaimed. If those two need the Ten-tails, they should know that to grow it into a Divine Tree requires Otsutsuki as a sacrifice.... Right now, they haven't attacked the Ten-tails prematurely."
Jigen comforted himself alone, but his wounds were too severe at the time, and it took nearly a year to barely repair his body.
Moreover, this body was already in tatters, and if he were to fight again, he would definitely enter reincarnation. So creating more reliable cyborgs was Shell Organization's recent goal.
At the same time, there was also the plan to snatch back Victor from Konoha. Although the artificial Divine Tree wasn't Shell Organization's goal, it was Otsutsuki Isshiki's; he had a long lifespan and could afford to wait.

Sakura, under Sarada's persuasion, decided to go out and relax with Ino.
A two-day, two-night trip, returning on the third day.
Coincidentally, Sarada was also coming back that day, so neither mother nor daughter would be home for those two days.
Once Sakura made up her mind, she quickly went to find Yamanaka Ino and informed her of this news.
"When is it? Well, if it's on that day, then Well Array should be just like Sarada, but I need to talk to Mr. Yoichi…"
"Eh? Mr. Yoichi? Is he also going?"
Sakura, upon hearing this, asked in surprise, covering her mouth. She had just found out, originally thinking it was just a trip for her and Ino.
Yamanaka Ino quickly put her hands together and said, "Sorry, Sakura, this time it was originally agreed to be with Mr. Yoichi. If we don't bring him..."
"Forget it, you all have decided. What else can I say... But this time, am I the extra one, Ino!"
Sakura pretended to be angry and sighed, then couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Ino, when do you plan to get married?"
Yamanaka Ino, a bit embarrassed, said, "...I'm planning to wait until Well Array graduates from the Ninja Academy, but Mr. Yoichi kind of wants to get married now, he's... quite in a hurry."
"Well, it seems he really likes you, can't wait even for a second…"
Sakura shrugged and said, but for some reason, her mind wandered back to those absurd dreams she had been having lately; dreaming of being pinned down by Uchiha Yoichi, wildly colliding...
"Sakura?"
"Ah? What is it?"
Sakura felt a hand waving in front of her and quickly snapped out of it and asked.
Yamanaka Ino shook her head and said, "Nothing, but you really should go out and relax a bit. Lately, you've been zoning out often. Are you too tired?"
"Ah haha.... Maybe a little."
Sakura chuckled awkwardly. She couldn't very well say she had dreamt about Ino's man; it was too embarrassing. Why would she have such dreams?
"Ino, have you been dreaming lately?"
"Dreams? What dreams? I haven't really been dreaming much lately..."
Yamanaka Ino prodded her chin with her finger, recalling that she was often too tired from exercise to dream recently, she blushed a bit and said to Sakura, "Lately, I've been sleeping well, haven't really been dreaming, have you been dreaming a lot, Sakura?"
Sakura forced a smile and said, "A little, often some irrelevant dreams..."
And every time she woke up, the feeling all over her body would be just like in the dream, a tingly numbness below, and her legs a bit weak...
"Are you thinking too much during the day? I've heard thinking too much leads to random dreams at night... Sakura, are you missing Sasuke again?"
Upon seeing Sakura's expression, Yamanaka Ino said confidently, "You must be missing Sasuke. He's too busy, he didn't even come home to visit last time he was in the village, right?"
"Mr. Sasuke must have important things keeping him busy...."
"Alright, let's not talk about him, Sakura, make sure to relax properly on this trip!"
Upon seeing Sakura's expression, Yamanaka Ino changed the topic and started talking with Sakura about other things.
After chatting for a while, the two women, seeing that the time was about right, then each left to go back to their own homes.
At the same time, Temari, having almost fully recovered, left Konoha Hospital with her daughter.
Actually, the day after giving birth, her body fully recovered, but she stayed a few extra days just for Ayako.
After returning to the Nara Family, both Nara Shikadai and Nara Shikamaru immediately gathered around, wanting to see Ayako.
However, Temari remembered Uchiha Yoichi's words very clearly, so using the excuse that Ayako was sleeping, she sent her back to her room, then grabbed Nara Shikamaru and started discussing the naming matter with him.
"Ayako? That's a nice name too, Nara Ayako... not bad, let's go with that."
Nara Shikamaru pondered for a while, felt Temari's chosen name was great, and just as he agreed, Temari spoke up, "Not Nara Ayako, Shikamaru, just Ayako."
Nara Shikamaru immediately widened his eyes in confusion and asked, "Hm? What does this mean? Temari, don't we want the Nara surname?"
"I want Ayako to inherit my Jutsu, and if she has the Nara surname, the elders of your family will start criticizing Ayako's teachings."
Temari bowed her head, filled with lies towards Nara Shikamaru during this time, felt guilty in her heart, but she was already used to it.
"Sorry Shikamaru, please indulge this selfish wish of mine...."
