Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 168: The Complete Yin-Yang Release, A New Theatrical Version
"Bagua·Kongzhang!"

"Death!"

A series of rumbling and thumping sounds echoed along the steep mountain road.

A kimono-clad girl, just over 1.4 meters tall, was seen fighting a group of ronin wielding samurai swords and dressed in kimonos.

With a casual wave of her slender hand, a swirling mass of air roared out.

Or, with a flash, a fist lands on the enemy's stomach, and a shockwave from the burst of chakra erupts from behind the enemy.

Immediately, the enemy became a blur, flying dozens of meters away, or crashing into the mountainside and dying on the spot.

In just a few rounds, the loli girl annihilated the bandit gang of more than a dozen ronin, making them pay the price for judging by appearance.

"Onii-chan, how did I do?"

Having easily dealt with the enemies blocking her way, Hanabi immediately approached Izayoi, smiling with a boastful expression.

Izayoi patted Hanabi's head and praised her generously, "That's how you should be decisive when dealing with enemies. Hanabi, you did a great job."

"whee……"

Hanabi immediately laughed happily, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

The client standing next to him also flattered him, saying, "As expected of Lord Izayoi, even your disciple is so outstanding."

The client is still in a daze.

Unexpectedly, what was just an ordinary C-rank escort mission turned out to be the strongest person recognized by the five great ninja villages.

Paying the price of a C-level mission to hire a super-powerful fighter, even stronger than the Five Kage, as your henchmen gives you an overwhelming sense of security.

Unless Madara Uchiha, the leader of Akatsuki, and Toneri Otsutsuki come as robbers, who can kill him?
"You flatter me. Let's continue on our way."

"Yes!"

The convoy continued its journey.

Hanabi created a shadow clone to activate her Byakugan and observe the surroundings, while her main body entered a train carriage.

As one of the four super-standard combat forces, Izayoi is an ace fighter who can become the Sixth Hokage at any time without accumulating missions. Of course, he will not work for clients like before.

If it weren't for training her sister-in-law, the incredibly wealthy Izayoi wouldn't even bother going out to do missions.

Even when I go out on missions, I won't compromise myself.

For example, for tiring escort missions like this, Izayoi would always prepare a carriage for herself.

He enjoyed himself inside the carriage, while Hanabi worked outside.

The client naturally had no complaints about this.

Paying this price to have the strongest ninja from the five great ninja villages take action is already an incredible honor; how could I dare to make any demands?

Moreover, they also have the second young lady of the Hyuga clan's main family, who serves as their telescope; they've really struck gold.

Let alone Izayoi enjoying herself, even if Hanabi reported that there were enemies ahead and Izayoi demanded to continue advancing so that Hanabi could practice on the enemies, they wouldn't dare to object in any way.

The bandit gang we just encountered is the best example.

After witnessing Hanabi's capabilities, the client was completely reassured.

Even though Hanabi only created a shadow clone to deal with them, the client wasn't nervous at all.

Inside the spacious and luxuriously decorated carriage, Izayoi lay on her side on a Simmons mattress made of chakra beads, intently reading her diary.

This diary is entirely written in ancient script, translated into Cantonese. It is a complete Yin-Yang Release technique personally left to future generations by Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

Let alone people in this world, even in Izayoi's previous life, not many people could understand this diary.

It's much more useful than the codes and passwords in this world.

This complete Yin-Yang Escape manual does not contain the method for creating the Seeking the Way Jade, the method for creating spatial channels, or even the method for creating an artificial sun.

Only a more detailed foundation of Yin-Yang Release, along with the knowledge of Otsutsuki Hamura, and possibly the understanding and experimental results of the two brothers who communicated with the Sage of Six Paths, are available.

Izayoi was completely engrossed in watching it.

This knowledge was passed down to Madara Uchiha, who awakened the Rinnegan. Given his mastery of Yin-Yang Release, he could probably only understand a small part of it.

However, for Izayoi, who possesses the chakra rosary and has mastered the power of creation, this is simply an alternative version of 'Gato's Treasure'. It came at the perfect time and was of immense help to him.

Once Izayoi has thoroughly mastered this diary, not only will his Yin-Yang Release skills skyrocket, but his chakra rosary abilities will also be greatly enhanced.

At that time, he will be confident that he can create the Seeking the Way Jewel and spatial passages, or even... the Sage of Six Paths Mode.

Izayoi is already inspired now.

Just then, a voice interrupted Izayoi's immersive reading.

"Onii-chan, what are you looking at?"

A head popped out from under the covers, and Hanabi snuggled into Izayoi's arms, looking at the diary with him.

Seeing the diary filled with text that she could understand some of but mostly couldn't, and whose meaning she couldn't even grasp when put together, Hanabi rolled her eyes so hard they almost turned into mosquito coils. She couldn't help but cover her eyes and say, "Onii-chan, are you deciphering a code? How come some of these characters are understandable to me, but I can't connect them at all?"

Izayoi didn't answer, but pinched Hanabi's cheek and laughed, "Why are you running in here instead of protecting the client?"

"Hehe... Just let the shadow clone protect the client, anyway, no one can escape my eye roll." Hanabi said with a smile, "I was worried that Onii-chan would be lonely, so I came in to chat with you."

"unnecessary."

Izayoi pulled back the covers, patted her sister-in-law's bottom, and scolded, "Going out of the village on missions is to train your vigilance and wilderness survival skills. If you don't experience it firsthand, how will you adapt to the wilderness-type exams when the Chunin Exams come around? Go out and protect the client!"

"Onii-chan is so annoying!" Hanabi pouted, but obediently went out.

My sister-in-law is precocious and knows how to read people's faces.

Especially Izayoi, who always doted on her, became even more dignified than her father when he got serious.

Although Izayoi never scolded her, Hanabi could sense the slight reprimand in his words.

Whenever this happens, my sister-in-law will obediently listen and never whine or throw a tantrum.

Despite doing so, Izayoi will eventually give in to her.

But Hanabi didn't want to disappoint Izayoi.

She was not only Izayoi's sister-in-law and darling, but also Izayoi's only disciple.

We absolutely cannot let Izayoi down!

So, Hanabi released her shadow clone and diligently carried out her mission, though she mostly used her Byakugan to spy on Izayoi.

Hinata no longer has the voyeuristic tendencies of the original work, but her sister-in-law has picked up the habit.

……

Two months later.

For the past two months, the ninja world has remained calm, still in a strange state of peace under the deterrence of four super-powerful forces.

Surprisingly, the most active organization was the Akatsuki, which had previously kept a very low profile.

After removing their mysterious masks, Akatsuki has become the most famous organization in the ninja world. Backed by Madara Uchiha and Nagato, their status is no less than that of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and their deterrent power is even stronger than that of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Even if your side has bounty hunters, they'll be killed by Kakuzu.

The people of the five great ninja villages could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

Even though they knew their main base was in Amegakure, not a single person dared to attack.

Therefore, the five Kage could only issue orders that if they encountered the Akatsuki, they could abandon the mission and return to the village without being punished.

All members of the Akatsuki organization enjoyed the same treatment as Minato Namikaze, and their fame was unparalleled for a time.

With the return of Nagato and Konan, the number of tourists visiting Amegakure has gradually increased.

Many intelligent people have realized that the ninja world today is unlikely to see a repeat of the final battle of the past.

The fact that they were able to fight before was due to the exceptional strength of the ninja world, consisting only of Toneri Otsutsuki and Nagato.

Currently, Amegakure occupies two of them, while Otsutsuki Toneri and Izayoi are separated.

Otsutsuki Toneri is no longer able to take over Amegakure on his own.

If he and Izayoi join forces to attack Amegakure, then Konoha will definitely join in.

There will definitely be a big commotion at that time.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, this balance should remain for a long time.

In addition, the reconstruction of Amegakure Village requires materials, and the vacant space is an excellent location.

Countless businessmen risked their lives to invest in Amegakure, and then actively promoted it. In addition, Amegakure was the safest place at the moment, and no innocent people died in the last final battle, so it quickly became one of the most prosperous and bustling villages in the ninja world.

If the situation could continue like this, it would undoubtedly be the peaceful world that Nagato envisioned.

But whether it was him, the Akatsuki members, the five great ninja villages, or even the high-ranking officials of small countries, they all realized that this peace, like the period of the reign of the God of Shinobi, was very short-lived.

During the era of the God of Shinobi, people only dared to wage war after Hashirama Senju died.

A war that rewrites the map could break out at any moment.

After returning Amegakure to Nagato and Konan, Madara Uchiha and his wood clones began searching the world for ancient ruins.

To this end, Madara Uchiha read a large number of archaeologists' memories, learned various ancient scripts, and excavated countless large tombs.

In comparison, Kabuto Yakushi in the original work was much more restrained.

Neither Black Zetsu nor the White Zetsu clones created by Infinite Tsukuyomi knew what Madara Uchiha was looking for.

But Black Zetsu felt increasingly uneasy.

Because he was being watched so closely by Madara Uchiha's wood clone.

Wood clones are independent entities similar to White Zetsu clones. They can transmit information in real time and do not report fatigue back to the main body. The only difference between them and White Zetsu clones is that they automatically dissipate when chakra is exhausted.

As long as someone absorbs the chakra in time, this weakness will be eliminated, and the user will even possess combat power many times stronger than a White Zetsu clone.

Therefore, Black Zetsu fused with Madara Uchiha for the entire two months, without taking any rest at all.

Furthermore, when Madara Uchiha led Black Zetsu to the great tomb and ruins, he wouldn't do anything himself. Instead, he would transmit information to his main body in real time, instructing him to come and excavate the tomb or conduct archaeological work. As a result, Black Zetsu had no idea what Madara Uchiha had been doing for the past two months.

He also dared not break free from Madara Uchiha's wood clone.

Otherwise, as the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will, his actions would be tantamount to betrayal, and Madara Uchiha would not only deepen his suspicions about him, but might even take action against him at any time.

At this moment, Black Zetsu felt immense regret.

If he had known, he wouldn't have needed to use Yin-Yang Release: Spirit Possession to imply to Madara that he was Madara's will.

He should, like Afei, define himself as a mutated White Zetsu.

In this way, even if Madara Uchiha suspects him, he won't be in such a passive position.

……

The Land of Demons, a desolate and uninhabited outskirts.

For some unknown reason, the sky over this area is always covered by dark clouds, and a chilly wind blows.

Just like the Rain Country, where it rains all year round.

Hidden beneath the rocky mountains is an ancient temple, bearing the marks of time and history.

In this remote, eerie area, a group of soldiers armed with cold weapons and bows and arrows guard the temple from top to bottom.

Even though this was a desolate wilderness, these soldiers did not relax at all; instead, they all had solemn expressions, which showed just how important the temple they were guarding was.

Just then, these soldiers, who had undergone professional training and whose combat skills were among the best of ordinary people, suddenly became dazed.

Immediately, their eyelids trembled slightly, their brains felt incredibly heavy, and they eventually collapsed one by one.

A figure emerged from the shadows ahead of them.

"Is this right here?"

Madara Uchiha stared at the temple before him with his Rinnegan, muttering, "Such strange energy fluctuations and seals, quite different from those other temples."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha instantly appeared inside the temple.

Before them was an altar radiating white light, the light like a barrier, inside which was a huge shrine, sealed off by a stone door covered with talismans.

Within Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, these talismans contain special energy, a kind of seal that even he himself was unaware of.

Through the information transmitted by his wood clone, Madara Uchiha knew that these talismans were seals left by a shrine maiden unique to the Land of Demons, containing the shrine maiden's power.

"It doesn't look like chakra, but it's somewhat similar to natural energy, yet it's neither natural energy nor Sage Chakra..." Madara Uchiha clicked his tongue in amazement. "I never expected that this little-known country would possess such a unique profession and energy. It seems this trip wasn't in vain!"

Reaching out and placing his hand on the stone door, Madara Uchiha attempted to use the power of the Preta Path to absorb the power of the priestess within the talisman.

The next second, Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly.

There was no failure. The Hungry Ghost Path can absorb any energy-based power, including natural energy.

The reason Madara Uchiha's expression changed was because the components of this priestess's power felt somewhat familiar to him.

“A power similar to Yin-Yang Release… It seems we’ve found the right place this time.” Madara Uchiha grinned slightly, then pulled hard with his gravity-transformed hand.

The two doors of the stone gate opened automatically, revealing a dark purple energy body that filled the space.

This energy body, as if possessing its own consciousness, was about to fly out of the shrine and rush towards Uchiha Madara, as if it wanted to seep into Uchiha Madara's body and take over his body.

But the next second, the energy body stopped and trembled slightly, as if it were afraid.

"It's actually a materialized energy entity, quite similar to a tailed beast." Madara Uchiha saw through the nature of this energy entity at a glance and said indifferently, "Since it's a materialized energy entity, you should be able to speak, right?"

The energy body was still trembling slightly, as if it was hesitating whether to take a gamble and seize Uchiha Madara's body.

But it quickly abandoned the idea.

Then a voice, seemingly echoing and filled with apprehension, came from within the energy body.

Why do you have the Rinnegan?

"You also know about the Rinnegan?" Madara Uchiha suddenly became interested. "If my information is correct, you were sealed away by the previous priestess many years ago, right? Could it be that you have been able to spy on the outside world during this time?"

"What do you mean by spying on the outside world?"

The energy entity uttered a questioning voice: "The Rinnegan, isn't that the eye of a sage?"

"You've seen the Sage of Six Paths?" A glint flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.

"of course."

The energy entity immediately emitted an arrogant voice: "I am a demon, an existence from ancient times, immortal and indestructible. If you are willing to merge with me, you will gain the ability to be immortal!"

Looking at the greed that was barely concealed in his second sentence, and whether he was simply naive or foolish, Madara Uchiha was skeptical. He then asked, "Do you know Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

"Who is Kaguya Otsutsuki?" the demon asked in confusion.

"The mother of the Sage of Six Paths".

"The Sage of Six Paths actually has a name?" The voice of the demon was full of surprise.

"..."

Madara Uchiha was speechless, then changed his approach: "Do you know about the Goddess of the Rabbit?"

"How do you know about the Goddess of the Rabbit?!" Wangliang was even more surprised.

Madara Uchiha's eyes narrowed instantly. "So, the Goddess of the Rabbit really exists?"

"Of course, who in ancient times didn't know about the Goddess of the Rabbit who quelled wars on earth and shone like the rising sun?" Wangliang first showed off his knowledge, then asked with some doubt, "But that woman... In my memory, there is very little information about the Goddess of the Rabbit. I don't know how she disappeared, or how the ninja world entered the era of the Sage of Six Paths' Ninja Sect."

Madara Uchiha didn't notice anything amiss because his face looked extremely pale.

The Goddess of the Rabbit (卯の女神) is a real person!
In other words, even if the images that Otsutsuki Toneri showed him were exaggerated, they were still only partially true.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is the true progenitor of chakra!

The Sage of Six Paths is the son of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Those ancient secrets are very likely true, and Otsutsuki Toneri wouldn't bother to hide them.

Infinite Tsukuyomi is very likely the technique used to create White Zetsu!
Does that mean Black Zetsu is really Kaguya Otsutsuki's third son?
He was just a pawn of Black Zetsu?
Why did Black Zetsu tamper with the stone tablet to guide him to awaken the Rinnegan?
What exactly is their purpose?

No... we can't draw conclusions right away.

This only confirms that Kaguya Otsutsuki truly exists; the images that Toneri Otsutsuki showed him still contain many logical flaws.

Then, Madara Uchiha looked at Moryo and asked, "Do you know where the Goddess of the Rabbit lives, or the country she resides in?"

"If I remember correctly, it seems to be... a place called the Land of Ancestors, right?" Wangliang still didn't hide anything, but he wasn't so sure.

Madara Uchiha was not satisfied with the answer from the demon, so he raised his hand and released an invisible gravitational force, pulling the dark purple energy body towards him and directly absorbing it into his body.

The next second, Madara Uchiha sensed an incredibly powerful negative energy, somewhat similar to the hatred and negative energy of the Nine-Tails. As expected, both were materialized energy entities.

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly, not because he was affected by the negative energy of the demon, but because he discovered that his Human Path ability was unable to read the demon's memories.

Just like being unable to read the memories of the tailed beasts.

Raising his hand to release the energy body, Madara Uchiha looked at the trembling energy body, which seemed to be in fear, and asked, "Do you know the location of the Land of Ancestors?"

"I...I don't know." The demon uttered in a terrified voice, but still held onto a sliver of hope, saying, "But if you merge with me and take me out, maybe I can help you find that place."

Madara Uchiha did not answer. Instead, he used his Yin-Yang Release ability to create various kinds of characters with his hand and continued to ask, "Among these characters, are there any ancient characters?"

"...These are all of them."

The demon quickly gave its answer, separating out dark purple gas that swirled around several scribbles that resembled patterns.

Seeing that the demon was cooperating so well, Madara Uchiha nodded in satisfaction this time.

Immediately, he closed the stone door of the shrine again and used Yin-Yang Escape to return the power of the priestess he had absorbed to the talisman.

From within the shrine came the pleading voice of a demon: "Please, let me out! I possess an immortal army of ghosts, and I can grant you immortal power, helping you rule this world like the Goddess of the Rabbit!"

"No need, not interested," Madara Uchiha said coldly.

After restoring the seal, Madara Uchiha left the temple, unleashed his Complete Susanoo, and soared into the sky to search for traces of the Land of Ancestors.

However, Madara Uchiha did not notice.

As he flew over a forest, several figures below, whose energy was so weak to him that they were not worth paying any attention to at all, were staring at him.

As the God of Destruction flew across the sky, a young man in a white robe with white hair said with burning eyes, "That energy fluctuation just now was definitely the power bestowed upon us by Lord Huang Quan. We've found that place. Quickly go back and report to Lord Huang Quan."

Before long, while the soldiers were still asleep, five figures arrived at the temple.

"That's right, this is the temple where the demons are sealed."

Because of the power of the demon within her, Yomi easily passed through the barrier and stood before the shrine that Madara Uchiha had resealed, saying with a fanatical expression, "Lord Demon, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

After saying that, Huang Quan placed his hand on the stone door and muttered an incomprehensible incantation.

Soon, the talismans on the stone gate disappeared automatically.

The two doors opened automatically, revealing the dark purple energy body inside once again.

The demon, having broken free of its seal, showed no joy. Instead, it asked with an air of superiority, "Who are you? Why did you awaken me?"

Huang Quan didn't detect Wang Liang's disappointment. Instead, he knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Lord Wang Liang, I am Huang Quan. In the past, I borrowed your power to create the survivors of the Ghost Legion. I have awakened you this time so that we can join forces again and continue the plan to build the Thousand-Year Kingdom."

“Your soul is too weak. If I possess your body, I will disappear within moments of leaving the barrier,” the demon said regretfully. “I haven’t found my 'physical body' yet. Only the soul of the previous person can contain my power.”

"Lord Wangliang, please rest assured, I have modified my body and can barely withstand your possession." Huang Quan stood up, unbuttoned his shirt, and dissected his body, revealing the modifications to Wangliang.

"Hahaha...Very good, it seems today is destined to be my day of escape!"

"My ghostly army, awaken with me!"

The demon's laughter echoed throughout the area, and then a surge of negative energy broke through the seal.

At this time, Madara Uchiha had already been away from the Land of Demons for a long time.

Otherwise, he would definitely sense this enormous negative energy and come back to teach the demon a lesson.

Soon, the ghostly army, possessing immortality and resembling stone men, destroyed the temple and emerged in droves from the ground, quickly plunging the Land of Demons into chaos.
