"Hey, this weather... is a bit chilly, huh! What's wrong with you as a supervisor, no sense of awareness at all? Aren't you going to hurry up and fan the manager?"

"..."

"What's that attitude? What kind of attitude is that! Don't you see the water cup on the manager's desk is empty? Why don't you go and get some water?"

"..."

"Managers get tired too! Come on, give this manager a shoulder massage! Hahaha!"

"..."

Hearing that arrogant laugh, Senju Tobirama was so furious his face turned green. If his eyes could cast Genjutsu and kill, he'd probably have taken Uchiha Madara down with him by now!

Unexpectedly, what a turn of events!

There would be a day he'd be the one serving tea and water to this Uchiha Madara.

You know!

You know!

He never made Uchiha Madara fetch foot-washing water or give him shoulder massages!

Evil Uchiha Madara!

But there was nothing he could do.

Right now, Orochimaru had given this guy higher authority than him.

So under the constraints of Impure World Reincarnation [Employee Version 007], he could only obediently follow orders!

Tobirama's face was ashen, but his hands couldn't help pressing down on Uchiha Madara's shoulders.

[Damn that evil Orochimaru! Not only does he eat human ashes, he even turned his Impure World Reincarnation into this evil forbidden jutsu! Sure enough... these two evil bastards mustn't be allowed to run wild any longer!]

However—

"Mmm, mmm~ Harder, harder! Didn't you eat? Why are you so weak?"

"I didn't eat!"

"Oho~ So now you've learned to talk back! Tsk—" A sharp inhale of breath. "Why are you pressing so hard? Softer, softer! Comrade Tobirama, do you have some kind of opinion about your superior?! As a subordinate, when higher-ups ask you to do something, you lose your temper? Do you still want your paycheck or not?"

"..."

Ignore him!

Just ignore him!

This guy's clearly doing this on purpose!

Tobirama took a deep breath.

After all, an Impure World Reincarnation body doesn't even feel pain!

But—

"What? You're ignoring your superior while he's talking now?"

Uchiha Madara kept grumbling and scolding: "I'm seriously questioning your work ethics! Supervisor Tobirama! If you want to work, then work! If not, get out! Our factory doesn't need someone like you! A second-rate person like you, can't do anything right, takes no responsibility, lazing around every day—do you think you'd even get a job out there? You'll starve to death eventually!"

"You've gone too far, Uchiha Madara!" Tobirama's face darkened. "Let's be clear, I just asked you to pour a cup of tea!"

Seriously.

He was never as hateful as this guy!

Then—

"Exactly~" Beside them, Senju Hashirama let out a helpless sigh. He looked at Uchiha Madara and hesitated before saying, "How about... Madara, let's just forget it. We're all from the same village. Today I'll pick the long-range ninja when we play games! I'll play support! At worst..." He gritted his teeth, "I'll secretly top up 648 for you sometime later! As an apology from Tobirama!"

However—

"Hmph! Childish!" Uchiha Madara sneered disdainfully, glancing indifferently at Hashirama. "I'm not as childish as you! It's all meaningless nonsense."

For the record—

Before he even died, computers were already a thing. A mere video game? He couldn't care less.

But looking at Hashirama's smiley face, he pursed his lips and turned away, expressionless. "Hurry up! Still haven't gone to get my water?"

As the words dropped—

"..."

Tobirama's eyelid twitched. Saying nothing, face dark as ever, he turned and walked toward the water station.

This evil bastard... this humiliation of recent days... I, Senju Tobirama, will remember it all!

He casually grabbed a cup, spat into it a few times, then smirked coldly and poured a little water into it. "Drink my saliva, Uchiha Madara!"

And that Orochimaru too...

He actually is working with this Uchiha Madara!

Doesn't he worry about resentment festering on him?

After all—

This Uchiha Madara isn't even that useful anymore. He's not even as valuable as Big Brother now!

So, Senju Tobirama was extremely puzzled inside—why would Orochimaru let Uchiha Madara have the upper hand over him?

What exactly did Uchiha Madara give to make Orochimaru agree?

Or could it be... was there some secret between these two evil bastards?!

Thinking back to how Orochimaru had been holed up in the lab this whole time, never coming out—

Could it be... related to this?

Senju Tobirama's eyes grew uncertain and cloudy, but in the end, he still sighed, held the cup, and got ready to leave.

[Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west...]

Sooner or later, the humiliation he suffered today—he, Senju Tobirama, would repay it a hundredfold!

However.

Suddenly.

Seeing Orochimaru finally emerging from the lab, Senju Tobirama's eyelid twitched. He said lightly, "Orochimaru~"

With that, Orochimaru paused briefly, then revealed that usual smiling expression. "Second Hokage-sama~"

Looks like... these past days haven't been easy for the Second Hokage~

But, with Impure World Reincarnation restricting them, he didn't care at all!

No matter how angry these guys got deep down, it's not like they could kill him—what was there to be afraid of?

Of course, Senju Tobirama was still quite useful. Thanks to him, the recent experiment had succeeded so quickly. So after thinking it over, he decided he should at least appease Tobirama a bit.

"Sorry~" Orochimaru sighed with a touch of sentiment, shaking his head. "I didn't have much of a choice. What he offered was really..."

Before he could finish—

"I have no interest in hearing about your deal with Uchiha Madara!" Tobirama impatiently waved his hand. "A guy who would betray the village for a billion—how much credibility could he possibly have?"

"..."

Is this joke ever going to be over?!

Who betrayed the village over a measly billion?! That's insulting!

But before Orochimaru could speak again—

"In that case... how about I make another deal with you?" Senju Tobirama looked at Orochimaru meaningfully. "You greedy bastard, I know that if I don't offer something in return, you'll never agree to what I ask."

"Haha, Second Hokage-sama, you must be joking!"

"So, have you thought it over?"

"What kind of deal does Second Hokage-sama wish to make?"

"The Sharingan! All the data on the Sharingan! And the Mangekyo as well! How about it? I know you're researching the bloodlines of the Uchiha and Senju clans. Believe me... as someone who's fought the Uchiha for so long, I understand the Sharingan even better than they do!"

With those words, Orochimaru's eyelid twitched, and he even felt a little moved inside. [I didn't expect to get this kind of bonus.]

Immediately, his eyes narrowed again, and he looked at Tobirama with a smiling expression. "Actually, I've always been on your side, Second Hokage-sama, truly! For a talent like you, I hold great respect!"

"Enough with the meaningless words! So?!"

"Deal accepted!"

Hearing Tobirama's apparent impatience, Orochimaru didn't waste more breath. He nodded lightly, smiled slightly, and said, "Next, I'll put some restraints on Uchiha Madara. I'll make sure he stops making you do these things. I believe he'll be very happ—"

He hadn't even finished saying "happy" when—

"That's not what I want!"

Tobirama calmly shook his head.

Then, the corners of his mouth lifted into a sinister grin, his face showing a creepy smile, his eyes glinting strangely, and his expression gradually turning twisted.

"General Manager! I want the position of General Manager! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west... I'll make that evil Uchiha Madara understand the rules of the workplace! Just a junior? I'll make sure he understands! Hahaha! Evil Uchiha Madara!"

When he finished—

Orochimaru: ...

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

These two ridiculous guys... what the hell are they even doing?!

He suddenly realized—

Things seemed to be starting to get a bit weird...
