Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 57: Subduing Kabuto Yakushi, Finding Myself, and Preparing to Fuse with Hashirama's Cel

The pharmacist clutched his head, his face contorted in pain, feeling as if his skull was about to split open.

He growled in a low voice, "Why? I already agreed to your demands, so why are you still attacking me?"

"Now, it's my turn to interrogate you, isn't it?" Shen Yue said calmly, arms crossed and leaning against the wall.

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi finally understood that the ten-year-old Uchiha boy before him was indeed a ruthless figure comparable to Sasori and Orochimaru.

He immediately bowed his head and apologized: "I lost my composure, please forgive me, Lord Shenyue."

"Good to know. Let's go, come with me to the interrogation room!" Shingetsu led Yakushi Kabuto to the top-secret interrogation room.

It was a very secluded and safe place, and no one could hear their conversation.

Then, Shingetsu carefully inquired about various pieces of information.

Kabuto Yakushi revealed everything he knew, but he still reserved some of his own speculations and uncertainties regarding the specific details of Orochimaru and Danzo's cooperation.

"Orochimaru and Danzo are teaming up again?"

Shen Yue calmly analyzed, "Before Orochimaru defected, he was secretly cooperating with Danzo. Now that Orochimaru has left Akatsuki, it's not surprising that he's joining forces with Danzo again. Moreover, they both crave the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju—Danzo wants to fuse with Hashirama's cells to obtain Wood Release and a vast amount of chakra, while Orochimaru is filled with a desire to study the life force and special properties contained in the First Hokage's cells."

"Two guys who both covet the Sharingan and Hashirama cells have teamed up!"

"I never expected him to be so perceptive!" Kabuto Yakushi was deeply impressed when he heard that Shingetsu could analyze Orochimaru and Danzo's purpose in cooperating so accurately based on the limited information he had provided.

However, he continued, "Lord Shingetsu's analysis is correct. But the Wood Release cells in the First Hokage's body are very unique. Although their power is astonishing, they are an anomaly. Even within the Senju clan, known for their strong physiques, no one has been able to inherit the Wood Release bloodline limit since the First Hokage. When others have Hashirama's cells implanted, they either die from a strong rejection reaction that turns their entire bodies into wood, or even if they temporarily control it, they will be devoured by the cells and die a gruesome death once their strength or vitality is insufficient to support it. Lord Orochimaru and Danzo have been researching for so many years, but they still haven't been able to completely overcome this problem."

"And what about you?" Kamizuki asked Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto shook his head.

"Is that so!" Upon hearing this, Shen Yue thought of the clump of active cell tissue that he had specially cut off from White Zetsu—it was a special Hashirama cell that Madara Uchiha had personally cultivated using the Gedo Mazo. The Wood Release power it contained was purer and relatively stable, which was perfect for him to safely and completely fuse with.

However, before that, Kamizuki was still worried that there might be a problem, so he planned to recruit Kabuto Yakushi and have him study Hashirama's cells.

Now it seems...

It's unlikely that Yakushi Kabuto could figure it out.

Furthermore, we cannot fully trust Kabuto Yakushi at the moment, so we cannot entrust him with such a precious item for research.

With this in mind, Shenyue decided not to delay any longer.

He left the Konoha Police Force's cell with Kabuto Yakushi.

"I wonder what Lord Shingetsu plans to do with me next?" As Kabuto was being led by Shingetsu to a secluded spot outside Konoha Village, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Could Shingetsu be planning to silence him and then destroy the evidence?

"Did you think I was going to destroy your body and cover it up?" Shingetsu seemed to see through Yakushi Kabuto's worries.

"Lord Shingetsu is joking. If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't need to go to such lengths." Kabuto Yakushi recalled the terrifying strength Shingetsu displayed that night, easily manipulating him. He knew that if Shingetsu really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

"What do you think of this place?" Shenyue said, pointing to an open space ahead.

"It's quiet here, with few people around, perfect for a secret base!" Kabuto Yakushi said truthfully.

This place is a remote part of Konoha, and even the Konoha police rarely come here.

"From now on, you'll stay here and create a research base, then conduct your research diligently!"

"As for money, that's not a problem. I'll give you plenty of money!" Shen Yue suddenly said.

"What did you say? You're going to give me a research base?" Kabuto Yakushi's eyes widened instantly, looking at Shingetsu with disbelief.

"What, you don't like it?" Shingetsu's eyes flickered as he looked at Yakushi Kabuto.

"No... I really like it, let me calm down!" Kabuto Yakushi's mind was still a bit foggy.

Shenyue was just torturing him with various methods.

Now, suddenly, they want to build him an experimental base, and he's a little taken aback.

Are all Uchiha clan members' brain circuits so unique and unconventional?

"Yakushi Kabuto, do you hate this world?" Kamui's topic instantly shifted again.

Hearing what Shingetsu said.

The doctor was filled with confusion.

"Hate?" From the time he could remember, he was adopted by Yakushi Nonou. Everything he did was for Yakushi Nonou and the children in the orphanage. For them, he was willing to risk his life for Danzo.

But fate played a cruel trick, and in the end, it was he who killed Yakushi Nonou with his own hands.

And Yakushi Nonou no longer recognized him.

This was incredibly ironic for Kabuto Yakushi.

He completely lost himself.

This time, Kabuto Yakushi did not give an answer, but remained silent.

"Then you love this world?" Seeing his reaction, Shen Yue's blood-red Sharingan seemed to see through his soul.

"Love?" Kabuto's eyes were even more confused.

His love was buried along with the day he personally killed Yakushi Nonou.

"Your ties to this world were severed long ago by your own hands!"

"Unknown home, unknown destination, lost self!" Shen Yue's tone was calm, but his words pierced the heart of the medicine master.

"Then may I ask, Lord Shingetsu, do you have a way?" For the first time in his life, Kabuto Yakushi felt an urgent urge to know the answer to something.

"Don't look at me, I don't have any either!" Shen Yue shook her head.

"Even you don't have an answer?" Yakushi Kabuto was somewhat shocked, followed by frustration.

"You'll have to find the answer yourself, but I can tell you that my Uchiha clan has a secret technique that allows one to see their true self!"

"As long as you serve me faithfully, I will help you find your true self!"

"Really?" Upon hearing Shingetsu's words, Kabuto's dim eyes instantly lit up.

"You can't imagine the power of the Uchiha!" Shingetsu didn't rush to prove himself.

"In that case, Lord Shingetsu, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to serve you and strive to make you stronger!" Kabuto Yakushi clenched his fists, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

"Very good!" The moment Shen Yue nodded, his figure vanished instantly.

He has already used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave!
