Knock knock—
A light knock came at the door, and Victor, who was taking a nap at his desk, groggily opened his eyes.
"Strange, where did this person come from at this time?"
He was sleeping soundly, probably because he was too busy.
The sun outside the window dipped below the horizon, revealing a sliver of scorching red sunlight. The sky was rather dim, creating a sense of oppression.
"Who is it?" Victor asked instinctively.
"Amado sent us," the person outside said.
Amado? Victor was surprised for a while before he remembered that he had indeed asked him for help, but he didn't expect that someone would come to help so quickly!
As expected of a veteran of the Kara organization, they are reliable!
"Come in." Victor straightened his clothes slightly.
Clang.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and several young children walked in. Victor was not too surprised to see this, since Amado's androids were mostly children.
"Hello, senior. I'm Boruto, Kara's new Inner member." Boruto stepped forward and greeted him.
"Hehehe." Victor couldn't help but burst into laughter. He hadn't expected that Amado would finally create a polite... android.
"I am Victor, no need for further introduction, right?"
"As Amado has already introduced, he said that you manage all of Kara's finances and are an indispensable member of the organization."
"Hahahaha." Victor laughed even more smugly.
He thought to himself: Could Amado be revealing some other information to him? For example, he is still very important to the organization as a senior member.
"And what about the location of the Tailed Beasts?" Victor asked.
"That's right. We've already scouted the area before we came. My ability is range perception," Boruto said earnestly.
"Really? That's great." Victor seemed quite excited.
Now, not only is the mission accomplished, but the source of the Tailed Beasts is also known.
After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but adopt the airs of a senio, and asked in a deep, composed voice, "Where exactly is it located?"
"Land of Wind," Boruto replied.
"Really? What about the other Tailed Beasts?"
"Three Chakra aggregates have been detected within the Land of Wind, and it is initially suspected that three Tailed Beasts may be hiding there."
"Three?" Victor's mind raced instantly. "Are you sure?"
Boruto nodded naturally, as if it were the truth, "I'm sure."
"I see." Victor stroked his chin, a bold plan slowly forming in his mind.
The sky grew even darker, and strangely, the huge company had no lights on, nor were there any people moving around inside; it was a somber and gloomy place.
"What's wrong, Victor-senpai?" Yue Feng asked, puzzled.
He appeared very reserved.
Victor couldn't help but smile as he looked at the group of children; this was how a junior should behave.
"Here's the thing, after thinking for a moment, I've decided that we should go ahead and pave the way for the organization to ensure the intelligence is accurate."
Victor addressed the three of them with the demeanor of an elder.
"Alright, the rest of us only recently awakened, and we're not very skilled at developing our abilities, so there might be some deviations!"
Boruto said to Victor with a grin, a hint of cunning flashing in his innocent big eyes.
Victor nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the scenery outside the window and said to the three younger colleagues, "We'll set off tomorrow. You can rest at the company tonight."
"Thank you, senior." The three expressed their gratitude.
Seeing them yawn wearily, Victor immediately guessed that it must have taken them quite a while to get here, considering it hadn't been long since he spoke to Amado.
"After you go out, there's a corridor. Go straight and then turn left to reach the rest area, where there are sofas," Victor said.
"Yes." The three bowed and thanked him, then left the office.
According to the surveillance footage, the three followed Victor's instructions and entered the rest area. Upon seeing the comfortable and soft sofa, they immediately lay down and quickly closed their eyes...
Victor thought to himself: This time the android seems to be exceptionally human. Could it be an ordinary child who has been directly modified?
Given Jigen's nature, he will definitely start to realize his ambitions after his resurrection. We, Inner member,s may seem glamorous, but in reality, we are just tools to him.
Victor isn't stupid; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone back to the company to slack off while everyone else was working hard.
However, if I don't make some contribution to the organization now, I'm afraid I'll be directly eliminated, since only the dead can keep secrets.
Orochimaru & Kabuto: Who told you dead people can't talk? (The one who knows everything)
Victor then stared at the monitor screen for a while to make sure the children were asleep before starting to walk away.
Behind the office, hidden in the dark wall, is a secret door leading to an elevator that slowly descends after the floor is selected.
The door opened, revealing a tangled network of tree roots and intertwined branches. The God Tree's reddish-purple flowers were in bud, and upon closer inspection, one could see many humans dressed in work clothes hanging from the tree roots.
They looked like mummies, or like fruit hanging from tree roots, except their expressions were blank and their eyes revealed fear.
"My great God Tree, if you need more Chakra, I will soon be able to provide it to you. Don't disappoint me then!"
Victor stood on the high observation deck, his eyes burning with fervor as he gazed at a corner of the God Tree, as if it were the world's greatest treasure.
"Wow!!! What is this?" Sarada asked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary God Tree. My father mentioned it in a conversation," Yue Feng said.
"Ridiculous. How could the God Tree be replicated so easily?" Boruto said with disdain.
"Have you ever seen a real God Tree?" Yue Feng asked.
"I've met it before, and I'll probably see it again soon," Boruto said casually.
"Hiss..." Yue Feng gasped.
"Let's go. It will take some time before the God Tree blooms, even though it doesn't have any effect."
"Um."
...
A night of silence, the next morning,
As the sun rises, a slanting ray of light through the clouds cuts through the darkness like a sharp sword, illuminating the world with warmth and hope.
After a night's rest, the three in the lounge looked radiant, as if they had inexhaustible energy and were eager to get started.
Victor couldn't help but sigh: Youth is wonderful. When I gain immortality, will I also experience this fleeting youth?
"Target: Land of Wind!" Victor shouted excitedly.
"You seem to be in a good mood," Boruto said.
"Of course! How can we be lazy and slack off when it's our first time leading a junior on a mission!"
As Victor spoke, he led the group into the company premises.
Seeing that the road didn't lead out of the company, Yue Feng asked curiously, "Senior, where are we going?"
"You'll see when you follow me." Victor, who was leading the way, laughed heartily, his tone adding a touch of mystery.
"Why is there no one else in your company, senior?"
"Oh. They're on holiday. I'm a very humane boss," Victor said. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be the organization's number one investor."
"I see, you're amazing, senior!" Yue Feng exclaimed in admiration.
Victor was pleased with the shining eyes of his juniors and led them to another, slightly brighter underground space.
