Outside the Hidden Leaf Village.
Not long after, Obito returned.
"Black Zetsu, let's go," Obito said calmly.
"Alright," Black Zetsu nodded. Then, turning to the White Zetsu behind him, he added, "We're leaving the Land of Fire for now. Make sure to take good care of the money at the base. That money is crucial. We're going to use it to buy weapons at the border market."
"I understand, Lord Black Zetsu!" Ah Fei replied enthusiastically.
Black Zetsu nodded again and then departed with Obito.
Ah Fei watched the two figures disappear into the distance, falling into a deep, contemplative silence.
"I wonder if that boss can tell me what it feels like to poop…" he mumbled to himself.
"Everyone speaks so highly of that boss. I bet he'll know! He must understand the meaning of defecation!"
Excited by the possibility, Ah Fei immediately set off to find Peter's shop, which was rumored to be somewhere along the border of the Land of Fire.

Land of Fire – Border Area
Peter lay lazily in a reclining chair, staring blankly at the sky. It had been two days since Nagato and the others had left, and not a single customer had shown up since.
With a bored yawn, he muttered, "At this rate, how long is it going to take before I make real money?"
The items in his shop were exorbitantly priced—even he couldn't afford most of them. Without money, he couldn't upgrade his strength, and without strength, he dared not leave the store. The ninja world was just too dangerous for someone like him, who had no fighting ability whatsoever.
So, all Peter could do was remain in his shop, waiting for some semblance of plot progression.
"I really don't know where the story is heading anymore…" he murmured.
Just then, outside the shop—
Ah Fei appeared at the door, peering at the store with a curious expression. "Is this the place Master Jue told me about?"
He had searched the border all night long, and at last, he had found it.
"I wonder… Can this boss really tell me what it means to defecate?" Ah Fei said, stepping inside with hope in his eyes.
"Boss!" he called out loudly.
Peter was startled by the sudden shout. He jumped out of his seat and looked toward the entrance, only to see a White Zetsu bouncing into the store.
As soon as Peter laid eyes on the goofy figure, he instantly recognized the oddball.
Among the thousands of White Zetsu created by Uchiha Madara, Ah Fei was an exceptional one.
A fecal research expert… a prosthetic wholesaler… a soul-possessed lunatic…
Peter forced a smile. "Hello, how can I help you?"
"Boss, do you know what it feels like to poop?" Ah Fei asked, rushing up to him with shining eyes, full of anticipation.
Peter was dumbfounded. Of all the things he had imagined Ah Fei would ask, this was definitely not on the list.
He opened his mouth, closed it, then opened it again—but no words came out. How exactly was one supposed to explain the feeling of needing to poop?
Seeing Peter's stunned expression, Ah Fei looked disappointed.
"So you don't know either, Boss…" he sighed and slowly turned toward the door.
Just as he was about to leave, Peter called out to him, "Wait! It's not that I don't know. It's just hard to describe with words. But if you want… I can make you poop yourself."
"Are you serious?!" Ah Fei's entire body trembled with excitement. He immediately grabbed Peter's shoulders, shaking them with joy. "Really, Boss?!"
Peter smiled and nodded. "I can install internal organs into your body—ones compatible with your physiology. That way, you'll be able to experience defecation like a normal human being."
Ah Fei leapt up with joy. "Hahaha! I can poop too! This is the best day of my life!"
"Please, Boss, install them now! I really want to take a dump!"
As a White Zetsu, his dream had always been to poop like a human. And now, it was finally within reach.
"Of course," Peter replied, "but since your body is unique, we need to cultivate custom internal organs specifically for you. The whole process will cost 50 million taels. Do you have that kind of money?"
Ah Fei was stunned by the number. Fifty million?
If he didn't have the money, did that mean he'd never know what it felt like to take a dump?
He was clearly discouraged—until he remembered something.
"Wait! Lord Jue left a huge stash of money at the base! I can use that! This is for a noble cause!"
Suddenly beaming, Ah Fei said, "Boss, don't worry! I have the money—I'll go get it right now!"
With that, he dashed out of the store, shouting excitedly, "Ahahaha! I'm going to know what the urge to poop feels like!"
Peter watched him disappear into the distance and scratched his head.
"Do White Zetsu actually care about making money?" he wondered aloud. "Where in the world did he even get that much cash?"

Black Zetsu's Secret Base
"Ah Fei, what are you planning to do with all that money?" a curious White Zetsu asked.
Hearing the question, the other White Zetsu gathered around as well, their faces full of interest.
"I'm going to use it to transform my body so I can poop!" Ah Fei said excitedly.
The others stared at him in disbelief.
"Is that even possible?" one of them asked.
"Absolutely! It only costs 50 million taels!" Ah Fei replied with conviction. "If you guys want, we can all do it together! Imagine how great it'd be to poop in unison!"
The White Zetsu were clearly tempted. They exchanged glances, desire growing in their eyes.
"But... isn't that money supposed to be for Lord Black Zetsu?" one asked nervously.
"What are you worried about?" Ah Fei said with a sly grin. "We'll just say the money mysteriously vanished. Lord Black Zetsu is so busy—he'll never notice!"
"That's… actually a great idea!"
Without hesitation, the White Zetsu rushed to grab the money. Stacks of cash that once filled half the base were quickly reduced by one-third.

Back at the Border Store
"Boss! I'm back!" Ah Fei yelled from outside.
Peter blinked. "That was fast…"
He stepped to the door, only to nearly fall backward in shock.
There were at least a dozen White Zetsu standing outside. Each one was wrapped in piles of cash like living treasure chests.
"What the hell—is this a bank robbery?!"
"Boss, we all want to poop!" Ah Fei shouted.
After realizing what was going on, Peter immediately grinned. He stepped aside and said warmly, "Come in, come in, all of you!"
A dozen White Zetsu flooded into the shop like a tidal wave of chaos and anticipation.
"Boss, hurry up! We can't wait any longer!" Ah Fei urged.
Peter nodded eagerly. He hadn't expected to land such a huge deal—twelve customers at once meant a whopping 600 million taels!
Once the payment was made, Peter quickly activated twelve transformation devices and had the White Zetsu lie down inside.
Not long after, the transformation process was complete.
The Zetsu examined their bodies curiously, trying to sense any changes.
"Boss, I still don't feel the urge to poop…" Ah Fei said, a little confused.
"That's because you haven't eaten anything yet," Peter explained. "Once you eat, the food will go into your new stomach, get digested, and eventually become poop."
"Ohhh, that makes sense!" Ah Fei nodded furiously.
Without waiting another second, he bolted out of the shop in search of food.
The other White Zetsu weren't far behind.
Watching them run off like children on a sugar high, Peter suddenly remembered something important. He rushed to the doorway and yelled,
"Don't urinate or defecate anywhere!"
But he wasn't sure if any of them heard him…
