"Since you're here, why don't you go help Mikoto with the cooking, grab something to eat together, and then head back?"
Upon hearing Lord Qiushan's words, Bai's eyes flashed with surprise. After respectfully bowing to Li Xuan, he walked towards Uchiha Mikoto beside him.
"Good day, Madam!"
After arriving next to Uchiha Mikoto, Haku greeted her respectfully.
Mikoto Uchiha and Haku have known each other for several years. Looking at the obedient-looking Haku in front of her, she smiled and said:
"Bai, you're doing well too. This place is almost done. Could you help me open the coconuts over there and chill them?"
In Uchiha Mikoto's opinion, Haku was very suitable to be a maid, both in terms of personality and appearance. However, for some reason, Haku, who was always very well-behaved, insisted on being Qiushan-kun's subordinate. Only when she had free time after completing her missions would she come to Qiushan-kun's side to work as a part-time maid. This puzzled Uchiha Mikoto.

Chapter 404 Uchiha Mikoto's Worries
Upon hearing Mikoto Uchiha's instructions, a gentle smile appeared on Haku's face, and he said tenderly:
"Yes, Madam."
As he spoke, Bai walked over to the pile of coconuts next to him. These coconuts were picked by Kushina when she was bored, and they were just what she needed.
Speaking of which, besides Uchiha Kakuzan, Haku admires Uchiha Mikoto the most, because she feels that this mistress is a gentle person at heart, and it is very comfortable to be with her.
Mikoto Uchiha also loves dialogue, and the two can be considered to have similar interests.
Just then, Zabuza finally arrived. After giving Haku a blank glance, Zabuza stood before Uchiha Kagakuyama, knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his left shoulder, bowed slightly, and said respectfully:
“Master, Zabuza has lived up to expectations and completed the mission you assigned. Now, Kakuzu and Hidan of Akatsuki have left the Land of Waves and should not be returning.”
Upon hearing Zabuza's words, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded approvingly and said with great satisfaction:
"Very good, Zabuza, you have not let me down."
Upon hearing Lord Qiushan's words, Zabuza spoke with even greater respect:
"My master's will is Zabuza's direction. It is my honor to be able to complete the task assigned to me by my master."
Upon hearing Zabuza's words, Uchiha Kakuzan waved his hand and said:
"In that case, as my subordinate and weapon, the stronger you are, the more missions you can accomplish for me. Since you are skilled in Water Release, I will bestow upon you the Second Hokage's Water Release ninjutsu and insights, so that your strength can become even greater."
Zabuza never expected that Lord Kyuuyama would bestow the Second Hokage's Water Release technique upon him. In Zabuza's heart, Lord Kyuuyama would always be number one, and the second most important thing was to improve his own strength, which is almost the common wish of all ninjas.
Zabuza was, after all, a very experienced veteran ninja, and of course he knew how terrifying the Second Hokage was. Apart from the forbidden techniques he invented, his most powerful ninjutsu was Water Release. Obtaining his Water Release techniques was the dream of every Water Release ninja.
Therefore, after Zabuza accepted the ninjutsu scroll handed to him by Lord Uchiha Okayama with trembling hands, he respectfully bowed to Uchiha Okayama, his head almost touching the ground.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama also offered encouragement:
"Zabuza, I hope you will become even stronger in the future, and when the time is right, you can follow in my footsteps and build a new world."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Zabuza was terrified, his eyes widening in that instant.
Finally, the master is about to make his move!!! To build a new world!!!
However, Zabuza said nothing, suppressing his excitement, and respectfully said:
"Yes, Master. Zabuza will certainly not let you down."
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and said:
"In that case, you may leave. I know you're uncomfortable here."
Uchiha Kakuzan did not force Zabuza to stay. This place was full of his women, and they were all dressed rather scantily. Given Zabuza's respect for him, keeping him here would only be torture for him.
Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his master's words. He had noticed the two mistresses as he approached the island and knew that his master was on vacation. Not wanting to disturb them, he agreed and respectfully bowed to Uchiha Kakuyama, then bowed to Uchiha Mikoto and Kushina from a distance before leaving.
At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto walked over and handed Li Xuan a sizzling, oily grilled fish, saying in a gentle tone:
"Qiu Shan Jun, please try my freshly grilled fish. I added some special spices this time, it should taste good."
Upon hearing Mikoto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan accepted the grilled fish with a smile, kissed Mikoto on the cheek, and then began to taste it.
Mikoto Uchiha watched Uchiha Kazuyama devour his grilled fish, her eyes filled with happiness. Then, glancing at Kushina not far away, who was preparing coconuts with Haku, she hesitated for a moment, then said with some concern:
"Kyuu-kun, I'm already very happy as I am now. My biggest wish is to raise Yuta and Kana to adulthood, and then grow old with you, Kyuu-kun. That would be enough for me. But, but..."
Mikoto Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then said:
"But Qiushan-kun, do we really want to create a new world? Won't that cause another war in the ninja world? Although I know that with Qiushan-kun's strength, even if Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were resurrected, they wouldn't be your match, I'm still a little worried."
Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Mikoto to worry about these things. After a slight pause, he put down the grilled fish he was holding, pulled Mikoto into his arms, and left a fish-flavored kiss on her forehead before comforting her:
"Don't worry, Mikoto-nee, I won't risk my life. I remember telling you that a war would break out in the ninja world in a few years, and that's when I acted. We both know that as long as the ninja world isn't unified, the war won't stop."
Furthermore, in the near future, powerful enemies will come to this place. I am doing this to welcome their arrival, so that we can leave Yuta and Kana with a peaceful and stable world.
Mikoto Uchiha knew that her man had his own plans, so she nestled in Uchiha Okayama's arms and obediently nodded, saying:
"Then you must be careful and never put yourself in danger. If something really happens to you, I will definitely go with you."
Uchiha Kakuzan stroked Mikoto's soft hair, nodded, and said:
"Don't worry, Mikoto. With such a beauty like you waiting for me, of course I wouldn't risk my life."
Just then, Kushina, who was not far away, saw Haku use Ice Release to freeze the already opened coconut juice and shouted:
"Wow, it really can turn into ice! Is this Ice Release? That's amazing!!"
Uchiha Kazuyama and Mikoto were both drawn to Kushina's loud shouting. Seeing the exaggerated expression on her face, Uchiha Kazuyama couldn't help but laugh:
"Mikoto-nee, you should learn from Kushina. Look how happy she is all the time!!"
Chapter 405 Kakashi's Self-Deprecation
Chapter 405 Kakashi's Self-Deprecation
Seeing Kushina shouting and yelling, Mikoto Uchiha smiled knowingly and said:
"Kushina's personality has always been like this, and sometimes I envy her."
Upon hearing Mikoto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan gently pinched her delicate nose and said with a smile:
"The gentle Mikoto is the most charming. Mikoto, don't belittle yourself."
Upon hearing Qiushan-kun's approval, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes sparkled, as if they contained the entire starry sky.
Just as Uchiha Kazuyama was about to do something, looking at the charming Mikoto, he suddenly heard Kushina calling out from not far away:
"Qiu Shan, Meiqin, come quick! Bai has already prepared the cold drinks."
Hearing Kushina's words, Uchiha Kakuyama was slightly taken aback. He shook his head helplessly, then looked at Mikoto's pretty face so close to his own, gave it a big kiss, and then stood up and pulled Mikoto along towards Kushina.
Uchiha Mikoto naturally understood what Qiu Shan-jun meant, secretly smiled, then quietly traced her finger across Qiu Shan-jun's palm and whispered:
"Lord Qiu, I have nothing to do tonight."
Hearing Mikoto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan's heart skipped a beat. Although he and Mikoto could be considered an old married couple, sometimes he still couldn't control himself.
Therefore, after hearing what Mikoto said, Uchiha Kakuzan squeezed her hand slightly tighter to show that he understood.
Just as Uchiha Kakuzan arrived, hand in hand with Mikoto, Haku stood up, holding two coconuts he had prepared beforehand, and presented them to them.
"Master, Madam, the coconut juice has been chilled, please enjoy."
Uchiha Kakuyama and Mikoto took the coconuts from Haku's hands, with Mikoto smiling and saying:
"Thank you for your hard work, Bai."
Upon hearing Mikoto's words, Bai hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
At this moment, Kushina was eating grilled fish in one hand and coconut in the other. After hearing Mikoto's words, she still had fish in her mouth and mumbled:
"Sister Mikoto, don't be so polite. Bai is one of us. It won't be long before he's calling you 'sister'."
Upon hearing Kushina's words, before Mikoto could say anything, a large blush immediately appeared on the white face beside her. She had been following Uchiha Kakuyama for many years and naturally understood what Kushina meant.
Mikoto glanced at Qiushan-kun beside her, and seeing that he didn't react, she smiled and said:
"This kind of thing cannot be forced; it naturally depends on what Qiu Shanjun and Bai want."
When Uchiha Kakuzan heard what Mikoto said, he just laughed it off. It's better to let things take their course. Anyway, as his maid, Haku will basically be by his side for the rest of her life.
After finishing his meal with Mikoto and the others on the island, Uchiha Kakuyama didn't linger. He left Haku behind and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to depart.
At this moment, in Tazuna's house in the Land of Waves, Kakashi sat somewhat disheveled in a chair, his face flushed an unnatural red. Beside him, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others were looking at him with some concern. Karin had just given Kakashi a quick check-up and knew that he wasn't in good condition.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru and the other two huddled together, looking at Kakashi with some concern. Their instructor hadn't returned yet, and they were currently in a completely unsupervised state. Therefore, Kakashi, their only Jonin instructor, had become their only support.
Choji put a potato chip in his mouth, glancing at Kakashi not far away as he ate, and said in a low voice:
"Shikamaru, Kakashi-sensei seems a bit off. What should we do?"
Before Shikamaru could speak, Ino tossed her golden ponytail, touched the Flying Thunder God kunai at her waist, and said nonchalantly:
"What does it matter? Even though Teacher Qiushan isn't with us, he'll come right over whenever something happens to us. Even if a powerful enemy invades now, Teacher Qiushan will definitely protect us."
As Ino spoke, she gripped the Flying Thunder God kunai tightly in her hand, her face filled with longing.
Looking at Ino's expression, Shikamaru sighed and said with a hint of helplessness:
“Ino, if you keep rubbing that Flying Thunder God kunai that Master gave us, the spell formula he left on it will be worn away. That way, even if Master wants to come over using the Flying Thunder God technique, he won’t be able to determine the coordinates.”
Hearing Shikamaru's words, Ino was startled and quickly released the kunai she was holding. She carefully tucked it into her waistband as if it were a precious treasure before asking with some confusion:
"Shikamaru, can I really erase this technique? If it were that easy, why didn't you mention that when you gave us the kunai?"
Seeing Ino put the kunai back in, Shikamaru said with a hint of helplessness:
"Of course it's fake. If the technique the teacher used could be broken so easily, then he wouldn't be the number one expert in Konoha Village."
Shikamaru knew very well that the Flying Thunder God kunai, which served as a spatial coordinate, contained the user's chakra in its incantation. Given his teacher's chakra strength, unless he destroyed the kunai, it was impossible to reliably erase the incantation on it.
Upon hearing Shikamaru's words, Ino's face immediately puffed up.
"Shikamaru, you~~"
Just as Ino was about to say something, she turned back and found a familiar figure suddenly appearing beside her, causing her to exclaim in surprise:
"Teacher Qiu Shan!!"
Shikamaru and Choji, who were standing nearby, also noticed that their teacher had returned, and they shouted in unison:
"Teacher Qiu Shan!"
After hearing their shouts, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded to them and walked towards Kakashi.
Upon seeing Uchiha Kagami's arrival, Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin, who were standing next to Kakashi, all shouted:
"Kind uncle!"
"teacher!"
"Uncle Qiushan!"
Upon seeing Uchiha Kakuzan, Kakashi, who was sitting in a chair, also struggled to stand up and said in a somewhat weak voice:
"Lord Qiu Shan."
In response to their greetings, Uchiha Kakuzan simply nodded casually and then said to Kakashi:
"Kakashi, your body hasn't recovered yet, please sit down."
Hearing Lord Qiushan's words, Kakashi gave a self-deprecating laugh and, after sitting down, weakly said:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. In the end, I'm still too weak. Even though I've recently started training again, my strength has only improved to a limited extent. In the end, I still couldn't leave the enemy behind."
Chapter 406 Fusion of the Sharingan
Chapter 406
Hearing Kakashi's self-deprecating remark, Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at him with some surprise, but quickly understood his thoughts and said with a smile:
"Kakashi, it seems you really have high expectations for your own strength. The two you just fought were the immortal duo from Akatsuki. Putting aside that idiot Hidan, just Kakuzu alone has already reached the peak of Kage level."
Even your father, that Kage-level powerhouse known as the White Fang of Konoha, would probably have a hard time fighting Kakuzu.
At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Kakashi's body again, and shook his head with some regret:
"You've wasted too much time, especially during a period when your strength was developing rapidly. It will probably take some effort to catch up."
Hearing Lord Qiushan's words, Kakashi also felt some regret. He had actually come to his senses, but the time he had wasted could not be recovered. In order to improve his strength, he could only work hard.
Seeing Kakashi so dejected, Uchiha Kakuzan felt a pang of sympathy. Kakashi was a staunch supporter of the Hokage lineage and could be considered one of their own.
