Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 380 Planting the Divine Tree
"The Ten-Tails' chakra was divided into nine parts by the Sage of Six Paths, and its remaining withered body became the 'Gedo Mazo'."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Even after all the tailed beast chakra was extracted, the Gedo Mazo still possessed considerable vitality and even gave birth to the "Geido Power".

No one in the entire ninja world has ever dealt with the Ten-Tails at its true peak.

Kaguya ambushed Isshiki Otsutsuki before eating the Chakra Fruit. She only consumed the fruit when Isshiki was dragging half of his body and hiding in the ninja world.

After that, she dispersed her power, which led to the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki.

After that, the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki relied on their innate power and the "Sage Techniques" they learned to fight Kaguya Otsutsuki. That battle ended with Kaguya Otsutsuki being sealed away.

Although the Sage of Six Paths later also became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, he soon dispersed them as well.

Then, in the Fourth Shinobi World War a thousand years later in the original work, Obito also created the Ten-Tails by collecting some of the tailed beasts' chakra and stuffing it into the "Gedo Mazo".

But that's not complete; all nine tailed beasts are still outside.

Even the Nine-Tails' chakra was only a small amount, because Naruto had only been half a Nine-Tails before that. When Minato Namikaze and the other half of the Nine-Tails were released, two more Nine-Tails appeared on the field.

In other words, if it were a complete Ten-Tails, there would only be one Ten-Tails among all the tailed beasts on the entire battlefield.

Without the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, Naruto would have a hard time defeating the Ten-Tails, relying only on the chakra given to him by the Sage of Six Paths and the Yin-Yang Release technique.

"How strong would the complete Ten-Tails be, having absorbed all its scattered chakra?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Only the Sage of Six Paths has ever achieved this, but he chose to relinquish that power.

In other words, even the Sage of Six Paths was afraid of this power and feared the emergence of a second mother.

Therefore, the conditions for becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki are extremely demanding, requiring both a vessel to hold the chakra and nine different Tailed Beast chakra.

In the end, one still needs the immense power of the "Rinnegan" to suppress the tailed beasts.

For example, Obito was unable to fully master the power of the "Rinnegan". As the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he was also incomplete. His clothes were still inseparable from his flesh, and his face was covered with undifferentiated scales. He even went berserk and lost control several times.

Madara's control over Six Paths was perfect; the chakra formed a robe, and there was never any sign of it going out of control.

Unfortunately, just as he gathered the Rinnegan in both eyes and restored himself to his strongest state, Black Zetsu ripped out his heart.

"A branch of the Divine Tree obtained from Takigakure Village, and a section of the 'Gedo Mazo'."

Kiyoshi then took out the corresponding materials and placed them on the ground.

The Divine Tree actually exists in many places in the ninja world.

However, most of them are buried very deep and scattered very thinly, making them difficult to find.

For example, the 100,000 White Zetsu created by Obito through the "Gedo Mazo" are an extension of an incredibly huge divine tree in the underground cavern.

These sacred trees provided nourishment for the White Zetsu, continuously creating them.

"God's Advent of the Tree World" is a technique that can only be performed by ninjas who possess the "Bloodline Limit".

This technique is also a ninjutsu that complements "Infinite Tsukuyomi".

"Infinite Tsukuyomi" plunged the world into an illusion, into an eternal dream.

"The Advent of the Divine Tree World" involves the Divine Tree releasing vines that cover the entire ninja world, entangling and absorbing the chakra of individuals exposed to moonlight, ultimately transforming them into White Zetsu.

The final battle could cover the entire globe in a short time, so it's impossible for a divine tree to grow in an instant.

Rather, these branches were buried in the earth long ago, extending out in response to the "birth of the divine tree realm," binding the creatures on the surface.

Kaguya once used this technique on this planet, leaving behind a corresponding trace.

Otherwise, it would take much longer.

"Sasuke can use Susanoo to become a vessel for the chakra of the nine tailed beasts; I can do that too."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Sasuke received chakra from the Sage of Six Paths, which enhanced his strength in every aspect.

Although Kiyoshi did not receive chakra from the Sage of Six Paths, he possessed his own independently developed "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation" and chakra control abilities that surpassed S-rank.

Kiyoshi can even perform microscopic manipulations at the cellular level.

"First, combine these two parts together."

Kiyoshi clapped his hands together and entered "Perfect Sage Mode".

If Naruto and Jiraiya were here, they probably wouldn't be able to enter "Sage Mode".

Because "Sage Mode" requires absorbing natural energy, there isn't much natural energy here.

Qing Si could sense that the area was extremely sparse, and the natural energy approaching was also very scarce.

Unless you're like Naruto, who uses shadow clones to accumulate natural energy beforehand and refine it into "Sage Chakra" to use as a power bank.

Kiyoshi, of course, didn't need to go through such trouble. His "immortal arts" also combined the power of the curse seal, which allowed him to accumulate natural energy in his body for a long time.

A robe formed of golden light was draped over Kiyoshi's body. Kiyoshi took the half-section of the divine tree branch and several other branches from the ground in his hands and infused them with "Sage Chakra".

Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!

Soon, the wood began to wriggle like flowing liquid, gradually showing a tendency to entangle together.

Kiyoshi's "Sage Art: Inorganic Rebirth" is more complete than Yakushi Kabuto's, and he is also a "perfect Sage Mode".

It is something that cannot be compared to ordinary "immortal arts".

Therefore, Kiyoshi managed to fuse these two similar substances with great difficulty.

These two are essentially one; one is the original version, and the other is the Divine Tree version.

"All right."

Ten minutes later, Kiyoshi had a piece of brown wood in his hand.

Bang bang bang!
Kiyoshi retrieved the nine portions of tailed beast chakra sealed in the scroll, and then used a sealing technique to seal all of the tailed beast chakra inside.

Kiyoshi doesn't know the "Sealing Technique: Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon," but he does know the "Four Symbols Seal" of the Uzumaki clan.

If the caster is talented enough, they can also use a double "Four Symbols Seal" to become the "Eight Trigrams Seal".

This move was something Minato Namikaze figured out on his own.

However, after a long period of study, Kiyoshi also learned this sealing technique.

Black swirling patterns appeared on the brown branches, emitting wisps of white smoke.

The next moment, the tailed beast chakra changed under Kiyoshi's guidance.

The brown branches were constantly wriggling and expanding, extending outwards like flesh and blood.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a round monster appeared in front of Kiyoshi.

It has jagged, spiky barbs on its back, and ten rough, wooden tails hanging down behind it. It looks at Kiyoshi with its scarlet "Six-Tomoe Rinnegan".

boom!
The juvenile Ten-Tails emitted a vibration.

A strong wind blew past Qing Si, making his black hair fly backward and his robes flutter loudly.

"It's even smaller than the one in Boruto."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

This is what is known as the "divine tree seedling," which is the juvenile form of the Ten-Tails.

Generally speaking, the juvenile Ten-Tails has the size of an ordinary tailed beast.

When it evolves to the next stage, it will grow protrusions on its back that resemble bamboo shoots.

Its size will rapidly expand to hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters.

The juvenile Ten-Tails in front of Kiyoshi was only about one-third the size of an ordinary tailed beast.

"Roar!"

The Ten-Tails roared wildly without any reason.

It sensed the immense chakra contained within Kiyoshi and, following its instincts, opened its gaping maw, intending to swallow Kiyoshi whole.

"It's not good to move the seedlings so much."

Black chakra appeared behind Kiyoshi, instantly enveloping him.

Ribs, skeleton, then wrapped with meridians, and covered with a thick layer of armor.

Susanoo!

Kiyoshi pressed down on the juvenile Ten-Tails with one hand, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light, revealing the pattern of his kaleidoscope.

Bang!
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, causing it to tremble.

"We still have to suppress them."

White bones emerged from the palms of Kiyoshi's hands and continued to grow.

Each one was only half the size of a wrist when it first came out, and then it kept growing until it was as thick as a thigh.

Whoosh whoosh!
Kiyoshi shot all of these bones out.

To the young Ten-Tails, these bones were like tiny needles.

The "heretical power" attached to it pinned all ten of its tails to the earth.

To be on the safe side, Qing Si fired out a large number of bone clubs, with at least ten bone clubs stuck in each tail.

"call……"

Kiyoshi's face even showed black patterns from using the "Hundred Healings Seal," which also consumed a lot of his chakra.

"It's just a flaw within a flaw, yet it's still so difficult to seal away."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Even if he were to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki now, he would still be the weakest Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Moreover, Kiyoshi cannot become a Jinchūriki. At most, he can temporarily borrow the chakra of the Tailed Beasts, like Sasuke, to strengthen Susanoo.

To become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, one needs the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".

Only this technique can integrate the Ten-Tails into the user's body, making it a vessel for the Ten-Tails and altering the level of life.

This is currently the only way to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. Obito and Madara became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki one after another by using the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".

However, the "Six Paths and Ten Tail Coffin Seal" also has its pitfalls.

The Book of Formations records that one can put all ten tailed beasts into one's own body to obtain that power.

In the final "Original Sphere Space", Kaguya was struck by Naruto's "Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken".

The tailed beasts inside Naruto responded to him, almost collapsing, and rushed to escape from Kaguya's body.

There, there lived a monster unlike any of the nine tailed beasts.

A white rabbit with eyes on its forehead resembling the "Rinne Sharingan"!

When all the tailed beasts were separated, only the rabbit remained attached.

In other words, it is very likely that Black Zetsu also left a backup plan on the "Six Paths Ten Tail Coffin Seal".

Kiyoshi didn't think Madara Uchiha could have developed the technique that could make someone a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, since he had never even seen the Ten-Tails.

It's highly likely that Black Zetsu guided Madara to discover this technique, and Madara then passed it on to Obito.

"We still need the Otsutsuki as a sacrifice."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, hovering in the air, looking down at the roaring Ten-Tails juvenile form beneath his feet.

For the Ten-Tails to become a divine tree, a special condition needs to be met: the sacrifice of an Otsutsuki.

Therefore, after choosing a life-bearing planet, the Otsutsuki clan always operated in pairs.

Kaguya Otsutsuki and Ichishiki Otsutsuki form one pair, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki form another pair.

One of them was sacrificed and eaten, causing the juvenile Ten-Tails to transform into the Divine Tree.

One is responsible for protecting the growth of the sacred tree, preventing it from being stolen or attacked by other creatures, until it successfully bears the "Chakra Fruit".

Of course, the Otsutsuki who is eaten will not die completely.

They all prepare a vessel for themselves beforehand and use the "Wedge" for reincarnation. Currently, the real Otsutsuki are all very strong, and Momoshiki and Kinshiki are still on their way to Earth from outer space.

The options available to the Qing company are limited.

"It's time to go to the moon."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

The Otsutsuki clan on the moon rarely intermarries with humans on Earth, thus maintaining a relatively pure bloodline, and even adopting the Otsutsuki surname.

However, they refer to the real Ōtsutsuki clan as "people from heaven".

"The Otsutsuki Toneri and his son will probably come to Earth to see Hinata."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Hinata's Byakugan purity now likely surpasses that of the original work.

Otsutsuki Toneri inherited the "will of their ancestors," which is to misinterpret Otsutsuki Hamura's last words and intend to destroy the failed world created by the Sage of Six Paths and start a new century and humanity.

On this journey, Otsutsuki Toneri will become the progenitor of humankind, so his father wants to find him a wife with extremely high Byakugan purity.

The official novel of Naruto: The Last mentions that Toneri and his father went to the Hyuga clan to select targets.

Therefore, more than ten years from now, Otsutsuki Toneri will want to abduct Hinata as his wife.

After the two get married, they will live in a room called "Reincarnation Room" and sleep with other species until the Earth is destroyed, at which point they will use the "Reincarnation Eye" to revive the Earth's environment.

Then, the two of them can work together to create the peaceful world they envision.

Yes, that's a classic reason.

Many major villains in the ninja world believe themselves to be saviors, and that their own ideas are the true path to salvation.

"This is a good opportunity to see what secrets the giant 'Ten-Rebirth Eye' on the moon holds."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

He was curious whether it was possible to send a laser beam directly from the moon to bombard a designated target.

In the original work, a member of the Otsutsuki clan's branch family used all the Byakugan of the branch family members to fuse into a giant purple "Tenseigan".

It looks like a purple spherical stone. When activated, it emits light and gathers chakra to fire a thick purple chakra laser at the enemy.

The purple chakra laser was so powerful that it annihilated the remaining members of the Otsutsuki clan.

If it can be remotely controlled and can be aimed precisely, it should be a weapon even more powerful than the "Chakra Cannon" developed by the Hidden Cloud Village in the future.

Kiyoshi didn't think that the giant Tenseigan was that simple, since the blue Tenseigan alone could split the moon in two.

Moreover, there are two "Tensekai eyes" on it.

There is also a yellow one, which is also a "Tensekai eye" formed by the fusion of countless pairs of white eyes, and its power is enough to move the moon.

Furthermore, it was cursed so that only those with Hamura blood could touch it, or their chakra would be drained.

In terms of destructive power alone, the Tenseigan is indeed stronger than the Rinnegan.

A single "Silver Wheel Rebirth Explosion" can shatter one side of the moon, while a "Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion" can split the moon in two.

The abilities of the "Rinnegan" are more geared towards supporting combat. For example, the basic abilities "Chibaku Tensei" and "Bansho Ten'in" are both sealing and control abilities, and most of the awakened eye techniques are also supportive.

Sasuke's "Amenotejikara," Madara's "Limbo: Border Jail," and even the dojutsu of Urashiki and Momoshiki are all support-oriented.

"You'll stay here for now, Ten-Tails."

Kiyoshi didn't look at the juvenile Ten-Tails again, and left directly.

The eyes of the juvenile Ten-Tails are merely similar in shape to the "Six-Tomoe Rinnegan"; it cannot use any eye techniques.

Such an enormous eye is also unsuitable for transplantation.

Otherwise, Madara wouldn't have needed to be so obsessed with finding his ordinary "Rinnegan," but instead would have tried to transplant the Ten-Tails' own eye.

"Roar!"

On the desolate wasteland, only the roar of the Ten-Tails' juvenile form could be heard.

It tried desperately to break free from the white bone rod pinning it down, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't move.

hoo hoo hoo!
The air currents generated by the sound continuously swept across this barren land, creating ripples in concentric circles.

Unfortunately, these material things could not affect the blue flames floating above, which were the souls that had been captured by Death.

……

Kiyoshi, who emerged from the alternate dimension, returned to Iwagakure Village.

It is late at night.

Pushing open the window, a solitary moon hangs in the night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars.

Today was his first day in Iwagakure. After leaving the orphanage, he used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to quickly travel with the two women.

He finally arrived at Iwagakure in the morning and spent the morning discussing trade matters with the village's leaders. At noon, he proposed a sparring match with Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

In the afternoon, they arrived at a duel arena used by Iwagakure for the Chunin Exams, and many people from Iwagakure came to watch the battle.

Afterwards, Kiyoshi had dinner with Onoki and other high-ranking members of Iwagakure before arriving at the guest room. Finally, Kiyoshi went into the alternate dimension.

Now they're back.

"Hey, Hokage of Konoha, what's your opinion on art?"

A child appeared outside the window. He used some basic chakra refining techniques to gather the refined chakra at the soles of his feet, preventing himself from falling.

"You must be Deidara."

Kiyoshi looked at the blond child in front of him. His hair was naturally loose, with a short braid tied at the end.

"You know me, huh?"

Deidara looked puzzled.

"I heard from Onoki that you often cause trouble in the village."

Qing Si spoke up.

During his conversation with Onoki, he also mentioned Deidara.

Similar to the original story, Deidara is mischievous and wreaks havoc throughout the village.

However, considering his young age and exceptional talent, they continued to tolerate him, and Onoki even considered taking him as his apprentice.

According to the original story, Deidara was forced to leave the village when he was nine years old because he was too willful and crazy.

"Hmph, that's because I was studying art."

Deidara rummaged around on his body and pulled out a small white clay.

"Well done."

Qing Si casually remarked.

He observed that Deidara's palms did not touch his mouth.

Deidara has not yet modified himself.

"Hey, you have a great eye for things."

Upon hearing that someone appreciated his art, Deidara instantly gained confidence.

The opponent is the Hokage of Konoha!
"Does your Konoha have art like mine?"

Deidara asked impatiently.

He came here to find out what art is like in Konoha.

He had never been to Konoha before, so he was quite curious.

"It's somewhat different from your art, isn't it?"

Kiyoshi said.

Konoha has the art of sculpting clay, but no one considers explosions to be art.

"Here you go."

Deidara was overjoyed upon receiving the news and gave the clay figurine he was holding to Kiyoshi.

"Brother Deidara, aren't you afraid of being punished by Grandpa?"

Black Soil spoke up.

There was a figure by the window.

She is the daughter of Huangtu, who is the son of Onoki, so she is Onoki's eldest granddaughter.

When Onoki was mentioned, Deidara shrank back, still somewhat afraid of the old man.

"I understand, Black Earth, but don't tell anyone."

Deidara quickly instructed Kurotsuchi to guard the secret.

Kiyoshi also glanced at Kuroto, who looked even younger.

She looks much older now than when I first met her a few years ago.

"We won't bother you then."

Kurotsuchi politely spoke up and pulled Deidara away.

Deidara followed Kurotsuchi away, telling her not to tell Onoki anything.

Kiyoshi watched the two children leave quietly.

He sensed their approach the moment they got close to Kiyoshi.

"Can clay explode? Unfortunately, it can't yet."

Kiyoshi looked at the clay figurine in his hand; it was Deidara who had sculpted him.

The clay figurine is the appearance of Kiyoshi when he activates the "Eight Gates Formation," with his hair standing on end and his body steaming.

"Soon, Deidara will probably steal the forbidden technique of Iwagakure, 'The Technique of Imbuing Matter with Chakra,' to create explosive clay."

Kiyoshi watched Deidara disappear into the thick darkness of the night, and pondered how he could also obtain this forbidden technique.

The Book of the Dead also records that Deidara's explosive clay technique is based on a combination of the Hidden Stone Technique and his own Earth Release ninjutsu.

He has always used a modified Earth Release ninjutsu, which can also be considered a secret technique.

However, Deidara did not possess the "Explosion" kekkei genkai.

The so-called Explosion Release was just a deceptive strategy devised by Deidara to spread false information. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to be suppressed by Sasuke's elemental attack, using "lightning" to counter "earth" and be completely overwhelmed.

The mouth on his hand is a manifestation of his body being modified using the forbidden technique "Governing Material Chakra Technique".

If "Chakra Flow" is about imbuing the surface of an object with chakra, then "The Technique of Imbuing Matter with Chakra" is about imbuing the interior of an object with chakra.

"You have learned a new term: [Term: The Art of Clay (Blue)]".

[Entry: The Art of Clay (Blue)]

[Requirement fulfilled: Contact Deidara.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: Improves the body's ability to digest soil; increases hand dexterity by 40%.]

【Note: You can advance later. 】

A new entry has appeared on Qing Si's entry panel.

He glanced at it and then turned it off.

A small entry that's better than nothing.

Over the past few years, Qing Si has acquired a considerable number of entries.

There are many kinds: white, green, and blue.

Currently, only purple and gold can attract Qing Si's attention; he will close the other entries after just one glance.
