"That makes sense."
Tobirama and the others looked at the Divine Tree with complicated expressions before nodding in agreement.
Something this terrifying had no place remaining in the Ninja World.
Likewise, it wasn't suitable to exist in the Pirate world either.
Both of these worlds were already considered part of Kaito's domain, so he naturally didn't want them to be drained of their essence by the Divine Tree.
Without hesitation, Kaito waved his hand and stored the Divine Tree sapling in the Space Gate, setting specific restrictions on it.
He worried that if left unchecked, the Divine Tree might have adverse effects even within the Space Gate.
He planned to conduct further research and experiments later.
"Alright! Everything here is settled. We can head back now!" After finishing everything, Kaito addressed the group.
"Agreed!" Everyone nodded.
Without waiting for them to act, Kaito directly teleported everyone to the Land of Rain, Amegakure.
Their next task was to help Uchiha Madara take over Amegakure and the entire Land of Rain while establishing the Akatsuki Organization.
For those present, this was a simple matter.
Using the Sharingan's genjutsu, they easily controlled key individuals, allowing them to take over Amegakure and the Land of Rain without resistance.
After that, Uchiha Izuna and the others left, returning to the family base.
As for Amegakure, Madara remained to solidify their control and establish the Akatsuki Organization.
At the same time, he began teaching Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko.
To speed up the process and improve their loyalty, Kaito left a shadow clone to personally guide the three.

Ten days later, at the research division…
Kushina, Mikoto, Uchiha Izuna, Uzumaki Mito, Tsunade, and several other high-ranking Konoha members gathered.
All of them were contract holders.
Non-contract holders weren't even allowed to know about the core secrets of the research division.
"Kushina, are you sure you're ready?"
Kaito held a syringe in his hand, smiling as he asked her.
"Yeah! Do it! I can't wait to get my own Sharingan! Hehe!"
Kushina eagerly stepped forward, rolled up her sleeve, and exposed her arm for the injection.
Kaito didn't waste words. He immediately inserted the syringe and injected the Uchiha Bloodline Serum into Kushina's body.
"Let's move to the space gate. It'll be safer there, and we can monitor the changes more thoroughly."
With a thought, Kaito transported everyone to the research sector within the Space Gate.
He then placed his hand on Kushina's shoulder, using his spiritual power and Space authority to carefully observe every change occurring in her body.
Although the serum had already been tested on death row prisoners over ten times, proving it had no side effects, Kaito still felt concerned when it came to Kushina.
Mikoto, Mito, Tsunade, and Naori were equally anxious.
All eyes were locked on Kushina.
"Kushina, how do you feel?" Mikoto asked nervously.
"Nothing bad. I just feel a warm current spreading through my body, transforming each of my cells."
"Also, my brain, my eyes, and the areas around them feel a little itchy. I can sense that some nerve connections are forming in my brain."
"My eyeballs are also undergoing some kind of change."
"Obviously, these must be the modifications caused by acquiring the Uchiha bloodline!"
"Honestly, I thought the process would be painful, but it actually feels kinda nice! Hehe!"
Kushina giggled as she described her experience.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Vegapunk couldn't help but laugh aloud.
"You underestimate us! If we couldn't even eliminate the pain caused by a simple serum injection, could we still call ourselves top-tier scientists?"
"We've already developed various bloodline serums. Removing discomfort during injection is a trivial matter!"
"Actually, this is more than just a simple enhancement. This can be considered a genetic upgrade for those of the Ninja World."
"If no issues arise after further observation, I'd recommend you inject a dose of Senju Bloodline Serum and another dose of Uzumaki Bloodline Serum as well."
Kushina was startled. "I understand the Senju Bloodline Serum, but why would I need an Uzumaki Bloodline Serum? I'm already from the Uzumaki Clan. Isn't that redundant?"
Uzumaki Mito also spoke up. "That's what I was thinking too, Vegapunk. What's the reason?"
"It's quite simple."
Vegapunk nodded and explained, "While studying the bloodline limits of the various ninja clans, I discovered something."
"Uchiha bloodline genes, despite varying in purity, can be enhanced through training."
"That's why different Uchiha members awaken the Sharingan at different levels."
"However, they can develop and refine their bloodline, evolving their Sharingan step by step."
"Once an Uchiha awakens the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the differences in their bloodline purity become almost negligible."
"But for bloodlines like the Uzumaki and Senju Clans, which focus on bodily enhancements, it's a different story."
"Although you can refine your bloodline through training in techniques like life force cultivation and spiritual refinement, it takes too long!"
"Instead of spending years slowly optimizing your bloodline, wouldn't it be easier to directly inject a compatible bloodline serum and instantly perfect it?"
Kushina hesitated. "So you're saying my Uzumaki bloodline isn't at its full potential, and injecting this serum would enhance it?"
"Exactly!"
Vegapunk nodded confidently. "From what I've observed, your Adamantine Sealing Chains are your strongest ability, right?"
"Yeah, but…"
Kushina suddenly smiled. "Actually, I unlocked my Adamantine Sealing Chains two years ago through my own training."
"It happened naturally, thanks to life force techniques."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Vegapunk nodded thoughtfully. "That's great! But I still recommend injecting the Uzumaki Bloodline Serum."
"My analysis suggests that your innate potential still isn't fully realized. The serum will help you reach the true peak of your bloodline."
