Uchiha Kakuzan was certainly aware of Hinata's talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen her as the subject for copying the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit. He hadn't expected Tsunade to have discovered it too, so he feigned ignorance and asked:

"Oh? Hinata is very talented?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's question, Tsunade thought of Hinata's previous treatment and couldn't help but angrily say:

"Hinata's talent is certainly high, but she was almost ruined by that idiot Hiashi Hyuga. If I hadn't noticed early, her talent would have been wasted in a few more years. The Hyuga clan is also corrupt now; they almost ruined Hinata's talent because of their corrupt rules."

You must understand, in the world of ninjas, strength is the foundation of everything. Only when you are strong will others respect you. The title of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha was earned through sheer strength, fought tooth and nail. And all those famous ninjas, which one didn't rise to prominence through countless battles, large and small?

Chapter 257 Yugito at a loss

Chapter 257 Yukito's Helplessness

Tsunade paused, then continued...

"The Hyuga clan nowadays has too many rules, more than your Uchiha clan and our Senju clan. They really can't distinguish between what's important and what's not."

Seeing that Tsunade was truly angry, Uchiha Kakuyama quickly comforted her.

"Tsunade, don't be angry. The Hyuga clan is an old and established family, so it's not appropriate for us to interfere. As long as Hinata's talent isn't wasted, that's fine."

Upon hearing Qiu Shan-jun's words, Tsunade glanced at Hinata, who was already standing there with her head down, and her expression softened.

"It's just that Hinata is too kind. Otherwise, with her talent, as long as she could grow up, she would definitely be a Kage-level powerhouse, or even reach the level of the Hyuga Tennin of their Hyuga clan."

Seeing Tsunade's attitude, Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Hinata wouldn't suffer any losses with her, so he felt relieved. He then sat down in his usual seat without saying a word. Shizune, who was next to him, set out the tableware for him. Uchiha Kakuzan didn't stand on ceremony and happily joined in the lunch activities at Tsunade's house.

Hinata, standing nearby, was somewhat bewildered by what she saw. Seeing how Qiu Shan treated her like family, she began to wonder if this was actually her teacher Tsunade's house.

Seeing Hinata's expression, Shizune, who was standing nearby, used the excuse she had prepared beforehand and whispered in her ear...

"Lord Qiushan and Lady Tsunade are close friends, the kind who would die for each other. When Lady Tsunade returned to the village to inherit the position of Hokage, it was Lord Qiushan who went to pick her up. Moreover, Lord Qiushan is not only the head of the Uchiha clan now, but also holds the position of leader of the Anbu, and is directly responsible to Lady Tsunade."

Hinata suddenly understood after hearing her senior sister Shizune's explanation. Although she didn't quite understand these things yet, she knew that Qiushan-kun was the head of the Uchiha clan, and the Anbu was the direct force of her master, the Fifth Hokage. Since Qiushan-kun was the leader of the Anbu, he should be the most trusted subordinate of her master, one of her master's own people. It was only natural that he was invited to have a meal here.

Actually, Hinata doesn't have much contact with Tsunade right now. The reason she often has to come to Tsunade for lessons and to check in is to help her take care of her health in a timely manner. As for the task of giving her lessons, Shizune's level is already sufficient to handle it.

After sleeping at Tsunade's house and enjoying a good meal, Uchiha Kakuzan was fully recovered. After saying goodbye to Tsunade and Hinata, he left Tsunade's house. After all, there was a little tail following her around now, so he couldn't be too intimate with her. In addition, he had just obtained the complete version of the Lightning Release Armor from the Raikage, and he couldn't wait to try it out.

After leaving Tsunade's house, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't rush back to his dimension. Instead, he went to Ichiraku Ramen, spoke a few words with Ayame, and then ordered a bowl of ramen to go. Only then did he enter his dimension in a secluded corner. After all, there was a Two-Tails Jinchuriki locked up in his dimension, and he couldn't let her starve to death.

Having rested overnight, Yugito had adjusted to the state of having no chakra. When Uchiha Kakuyama entered, she stood up from her room and looked at the man in front of her with a wary expression.

Before Uchiha Kakuzan could speak, Yugito said, "Is Konoha preparing to go to war with our Kumogakure? How dare you kidnap me from the village."

Uchiha Kakuzan was surprised that Yugito had already discovered his identity. He looked at her with surprise and asked in confusion, "Why do you think I'm from Konoha?"

Whether it was last night or now, Uchiha Kakuzan did not carry any markings. On the contrary, when he disguised himself yesterday, he was wearing Iwagakure clothing.

Yugito, aware of her current state, relaxed, crossed her arms, and looked at Uchiha Kakuzando with a sarcastic expression.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan, and space-time ninjutsu, aren't these enough?"

The entire ninja world knows that the Sharingan belongs to the Uchiha clan, who were originally members of Konoha. Konoha's Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, achieved brilliant victories on the battlefield using the space-time ninjutsu—the Flying Thunder God Technique. One of his rules was that if a mission involved encountering the Yellow Flash—Minato Namikaze—the mission could be abandoned without punishment.

Therefore, Yugito accidentally identified Uchiha Kakuyama's identity based on these two points.

When faced with Yugito's words, Uchiha Kakuzan was at a loss for words. Although his space-time ninjutsu and the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique were two different things, it was still quite a task to explain to her.

Seeing that the man in front of him remained silent, Yugito continued:

"I advise you to release me immediately. Although you are clever to move me to an island, you have underestimated the determination and methods of the Raikage. Even if you move me to a faraway place, he will definitely find me."

Uchiha Kakuzan, after hearing Yugito's advice, came to his senses and said with some disdain, "The Raikage's methods? Is it the Iron Seal on your body, which is derived from the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique and has a backup plan that can pinpoint your location, or is it that space-time ninjutsu from your Kumogakure village—the Heavenly Delivery Technique?"

Every time Uchiha Kakuyama spoke, Yugito's body stiffened. After he finished speaking, Yugito didn't know what to say and stood there feeling helpless. This was because what the man in front of him said were top secrets of Kumogakure. Not to mention that they had been leaked, even among the people of Kumogakure, very few knew this information, and without exception, they were all high-ranking members of Kumogakure.

The Iron Seal is the sealing technique used by the Jinchuriki to seal the Tailed Beasts. She only knew it was the Iron Seal, but didn't know it originated from the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. However, since the person in front of her spoke with such certainty, it must be true; she just didn't know it herself.

Not many people know about the Heavenly Transfer Technique, because it belongs to the space-time ninjutsu of Mabui from the Hidden Cloud Village. It is mainly used for teleporting items. Although there are not many restrictions, apart from the powerful physique of the Fourth Raikage, most people cannot withstand the pressure of using it for teleportation.

Seeing the stiff Yugito, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his words had impressed her, and she would be able to listen to what he said next.

Chapter 258 Illusion and the Future

Chapter 258 Illusion and the Future

Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at Yugito, who was already stunned by him, and then increased the dosage. Ignoring her expression, he went straight to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and, to her surprise, teleported her to the highest point of the island.

Uchiha Kakuyama released her shoulder and said leisurely.

“You’re wrong about one thing. This isn’t an overseas island, but my own space. Yukito, welcome to my space.”

Yugito was initially wondering what this person wanted to do with her.

But then I heard him say these things.

Yugito was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and looked around at his surroundings.

This is a very large island, large enough to form a small country, but Yukito paid no attention to that and instead looked at the vast sea around him.

In her view, there was only the sea, and no trace of other islands or continents, which was very suspicious.

Then, Yugito raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky was very blue and cloudless, which was very pleasing to the eye. However, what made Yugito's pupils contract sharply was that there was no sun in the sky. Although the light was bright, there was no source of light.

Yugito seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable, looking back and forth in different directions, muttering to himself:

"No sun, no islands, no birds—where am I?"

Seeing Yugito's reaction, Uchiha Kakuzan said, "Now you believe me, right? This is indeed my space. Only with my permission can one enter this space."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito suddenly looked at him, as if asking him a question, or perhaps asking herself:

"Are you a god?"

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Yugito with some surprise upon hearing her words, wondering what she was thinking. He remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky, where the oppressive aura emanating from above was becoming increasingly pronounced.

Uchiha Kakuzan sighed and shook his head:

"I am not a god, at most I am his successor."

When Yugito heard Uchiha Kakuzan's words, he subconsciously thought that he was referring to this huge space, but he didn't know that he meant something else.

Yugito calmed down and looked at the distant sea, saying:

"Who are you? Can you tell me?"

Uchiha Kakuyama raised an eyebrow, knowing that Yugito intended to communicate with him, and looked at her and said...

"Now, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Okayama, the head of the Uchiha clan, and also the leader of the Konoha Anbu. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Yugito."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito smiled slightly. Just as she had expected, the identity of the man before her was pretty much as she had guessed.

However, Yugito continued, "Then, Mr. Okayama, what is your purpose in kidnapping me? I believe that Mr. Okayama is also a person who understands the big picture. If the news of your kidnapping of me from Kumogakure comes to the attention of our village's Raikage, he will definitely launch a war against Konoha without hesitation."

Upon hearing Yugito's question, Uchiha Kakuzan frowned in slight distress and hesitated before replying, "How can I explain this to you in a way that you can understand and believe me? Oh, I've got it."

Then, Uchiha Kakuyama activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, looked at the somewhat nervous Yugito, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want you to see some things."

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan used his eye technique on Yugito.

"Pupil Technique - Illusion - Fleeting Space"

In the illusion, Uchiha Kakuzan showed Yugito the process of being captured by the Akatsuki, having her tailed beast extracted, and her tragic death. Of course, since Uchiha Kakuzan didn't know much about these processes, he incorporated some of the battle between Pain and Naruto Uzumaki into the story. The process wasn't important; what mattered was the result. The result was that she died tragically at Hidan's hands, and the Two-Tails was extracted.

After Uchiha Kakuzan and Yugito emerged from the illusion, Yugito stood there blankly, unable to accept what had happened. She hadn't expected to die so tragically, and that her companion, the Two-Tails, would be extracted and imprisoned inside that giant statue.

After waiting for a while, Yugito seemed to have recovered, rolled her eyes, and turned to look at Uchiha Kakuyama.

"Is all of this true? Do you possess the ability to foresee the future?"

Looking at Yugito, whose face had turned pale, Uchiha Kakuyama slowly nodded and said:

"This is the power of my Mangekyou Sharingan. It only allows me to see fragments of the future, not to know everything that will happen in the future. These things are all real, so I kidnapped you to prevent you from being killed by the Akatsuki in the future."

If you don't believe me, you can ask the Two-Tails inside your body. Although I severed the chakra between you, it doesn't stop you from communicating.

And it's not just you. In the future, the Akatsuki organization plans to collect all the Tailed Beasts, seemingly to revive something and control the world. In the fragments I've seen, the Akatsuki has already collected the One-Tailed to the Seven-Tailed Beasts. As for the fate of the Eight-Tailed and Nine-Tailed Beasts, that's unclear.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito immediately closed his eyes to verify them, seemingly to communicate with the Two-Tails.

Upon entering the consciousness space with her eyes closed, Yukito couldn't wait to call out, "Yukito, Yukito, come out quickly, I need to talk to you."

As Yugito called out, a gigantic cat appeared before her, its entire body covered in blue chakra flames. Looking at her, it said with a hint of annoyance, "Yugito, I already told you, my name is Matatabi, Matatabi, don't call me Little Matatabi anymore."

Yugito didn't have time to worry about any of that. When he saw Two-Tails appear, he hurriedly said in a flustered manner, "I just talked to that Uchiha clan member. He told me some things. Can you confirm if it's true?"

Then, Yugito recounted everything she had seen in the illusion to Nio in detail.

The Two-Tails is over a thousand years old, and when it first gained consciousness, it spent some time with the Sage of Six Paths along with the other tailed beasts. Therefore, it knows some of the secrets of the ninja world.

Upon hearing what Yugito said, it realized that what the Uchiha person said might be true. After thinking for a while, it said, "Yugito, tell me clearly what that statue looks like, and describe it in detail."

Chapter 259 Ten-Tailed Shell

Chapter 259 The Ten-Tailed Shell

Upon hearing Yugito's description, Futau Matatabi sensed something was amiss and gave the order...

"Yukito, tell me what that giant sculpture looks like, describe it in detail."

Seeing that the two-tailed creature looked serious, Yugito knew the gravity of the situation and described in detail the appearance of the sculpture she had seen in the illusion.

After listening to Yugito's words, the appearance of the sculpture she described felt increasingly familiar to the two-tailed dog, until finally, it overlapped with a certain image in its heart.

At that moment, even the Two-Tails couldn't help but exclaim, "Ten-Tails, Ten-Tails, that's the Ten-Tails' husk!"

Yugito was somewhat taken aback by the Two-Tails' exclamation. The Ten-Tails? When did a Ten-Tails appear?

Two-Tailed Cat seemed to be shocked as well, and after a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice:

"This Uchiha clan member is likely telling the truth, otherwise, he wouldn't know about such ancient things."

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan has always been mysterious, possessing many incredible abilities. I never imagined it would actually have the ability to see into the future."

Upon hearing the Two-Tails' words, Yugito felt as if a kitten was scratching at his heart. He frowned in slight distress and asked, "Two-Tails, what is the Ten-Tails? Is it a tailed beast that has never been born?"

Upon hearing Yugito's words, the Two-Tails also fell into reminiscence. After a while, it said, "The Ten-Tails actually existed, but it was so long ago that you haven't heard of it."

"Don't even mention you. I feel that in the entire ninja world, those who know about the Ten-Tails are extremely rare."

Yugito, also curious, looked at the two-tailed beast in front of him and asked, "Too far? How far?"

The two-tailed cat looked down at Yugito again, then lazily lay down, flicked its two tails, and said to Yugito, "Hmm, it must be at least a thousand years old."

Yugito was stunned when he heard what the Two-Tailed Fox said. In this era, let alone thousands of years, even hundreds of years would be five or six generations.

Thousands of years ago? Things from thousands of years ago have long been consigned to the dustbin of history and could never have survived.
