Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Zabuza watched this scene in silence.

Kisame joined Aoshui because he couldn't find his place in the world and was struggling with his inner turmoil.

Kaguya Kimijiro's loyalty stemmed from a personality change caused by being severely beaten, coupled with the purity of the Seisui Shikotsumyaku (Blue Water Corpse Bone Pulse).

Mei Terumi witnessed the Lava Release and Boil Release techniques of the Aoshui family and also had some unique ideas.

These three represent a portion of the current Kirigakure ninja's thoughts. They believe that Aoshizuki's strength, fighting style, and personal charisma are a good fit for Kirigakure, and they sincerely want to join his ranks.

However, like Zabuza, he also harbored doubts.

After all, no matter how gently Qing Shui defeats them, her inner guard will never be lowered for a moment; this is a normal state of mind...

What exactly does this man want them to do?

We can't just kill half of Kirigakure, then feed them well and ask for nothing in return, can we?

This is so nerve-wracking and unsettling.

Even if Qing Shui were to wave his hand now and tell them to become the suicide squad on the front lines of Konoha, it wouldn't matter.

Since they were all prisoners of war, they deserved this kind of treatment.

But in this situation, the ninjas, led by Zabuza, vaguely felt like piglets being kept in a sty, destined to be devoured one day, yet they had no idea what Aozumi would do…

It's a very conflicted feeling.

In general, they were hoping that Qingshui would make some excessive demands so that they would behave themselves – “Great benefactor Qingshui, please let us do some hard work, otherwise we won’t feel at ease eating your food!”

But today…

When Aoshui asked to see the two tailed beasts, Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, are they going to plunder Kirigakure's war resources and take them to Konoha?

In this way, Wuyin could be considered to have made some contribution to Qingshui. Although as the defeated party, this was Qingshui's spoils of war, at least he could sleep more soundly after returning to his spacious and bright home at night.

Zabuza knew that even if Aoshui was special, Kirigakure had to have value if it wanted to survive!

This is the cruel world of ninjas.

Qingshui didn't care about the twisted thoughts of some of the Kirigakure ninja, because when working under him, Qingshui's principle was always to give them a better ending than in the original timeline, but he would also abandon this principle if necessary...

This was all taught by Tobirama Senju. After all, the Will of Fire can be flexible, and principles can naturally be flexible as well.

"Let's start with the Three-Tails..."

Qingshui waved his hand, signaling the Mist Ninja to retreat.

Kisame and Kaguya Kimijiro exchanged a glance, both seeing the resentment and hesitation in each other's eyes.

They're shadow guards!

They should at least serve some purpose, right? But reality told them that Qing Shui, the Water Shadow, really didn't need their protection...

Several people stepped back.

A flash of red light appeared in Qing Shui's eyes. He casually clasped his hands together and whispered to Senju Tobirama:

"Tobirama, lend me some of your power. My chakra is mixed with the power of that eye, and every time I attack, it accelerates its erosion of my body."

Tobirama Senju nodded vigorously: "Use it as you please, Aoshui."

After saying that, Tobirama Senju added with considerable dissatisfaction, "I didn't restrict you at all! Just take it and use it yourself. Being so polite with me is really annoying..."

Qing Shui smiled slightly.

Does this old man think he's very familiar with me?

Perhaps, we are actually quite familiar with each other...

In an instant, azure chakra enveloped the blue water, and the entire calm lake began to erupt in chaos!

Like a volcanic eruption, countless thick waterspouts roared out from the depths of the lake, lifting a gray-black iron turtle more than a hundred meters long, which let out a sharp roar!

This is the Three-Tailed Beast, a giant turtle-shaped tailed beast.

"Humans, humans!" the three-tailed beast roared sharply, its iron-like shell gleaming with a metallic light, looking extremely fierce, its small eyes filled with venomous resentment.

The three-tailed turtle struggled in the waterspout. It was a turtle that was good at swimming, but it was unable to control itself in the raging waves.

The next moment, the waterspouts gathered together and transformed into a giant resembling blue water.

As if the water of the entire lake had been gathered together, the water giant picked up the three-tailed creature with the ease that an ordinary person would carry a durian, without any effort whatsoever.

The Mist Ninja behind Aokiji watched this scene numbly, as did the village ninjas who hadn't come to the scene...

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the water giant, Qing Shui.

This…

This is what you call water escape...

This is the true Water Shadow of the Hidden Mist!

According to data from the Hidden Mist Heart, the loyalty of these ninjas is rapidly increasing…

Qing Shui smiled slightly to himself.

There is a very interesting question: What is the most beautiful thing in the world?

Some people like fuller figures, some like more graceful figures, and some like something more unique. In short, XP is about freedom.

But there is a kind of beauty that most people, especially ninjas, will definitely like—that is the beauty of strength!

When something possesses sufficient strength, even the most heinous and hideous things will always possess a strange kind of beauty…

Moreover, Qingshui is not a villain, but the first Mizukage of the new Kirigakure!

The water giant grabbed the three-tailed creature with one hand and punched the valley above the lake with the other, sending rocks flying everywhere!

The six-tailed creature hidden among them was now exposed to everyone's view.

Judging from its timid and hesitant appearance, this once extremely dangerous tailed beast is also very panicked.

Even monsters fear those even more monstrous than themselves…

The water giant displayed agility completely disproportionate to its size, easily dodging the large amount of corrosive liquid spewed out by the six-tailed creature, and scooped up the slug-like monster in its hand.

The two monsters that Wuyin couldn't handle were almost taken down by Qingshui in just a few blinks of an eye.

The water giant placed the three-tailed and six-tailed beasts in front of Qingshui and stood behind them like a security guard.

A turtle and a slug, two tailed beasts, stared at the blue water before them, their expressions even more grim than when they were being beaten by the water giant.

As the split forms of the Ten-Tails, they are inherently extremely resistant to merging into one, because that would mean their own annihilation.

Therefore, they are even more wary of the Otsutsuki, who are superior to the Ten-Tails. They have inherited some of the Ten-Tails' memories, but their allegiance is opposite.

The three-tailed and six-tailed creatures suddenly sprang up, and despite the water giants guarding them, they still chose to fight Qing Shui to the death...

This man looks so much like Otsutsuki!

If we can ambush and kill him, that would be the best outcome!

Even if he were killed by the Hidden Mist ninjas later, such a death would be acceptable, since he could be resurrected.

The Three-Tails and Six-Tails, who hadn't been brutally beaten, carried out their audacious plans...

What they didn't know was that if the Nine-Tailed Fox were here, seeing Qing Shui's wide-open door, the fox would only be more vigilant, thinking that this guy was maliciously fishing, rather than truly losing his guard.

"Watch out, Lord Aoshui!" Kisame, Kaguya Kimijiro, and the others rushed forward and stood in front of Aoshui.

Qing Shui didn't move, but simply raised his plain three-tomoe Sharingan and glanced at the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails. These two monsters, who were trying to fight to the death, were frozen in place like two wax figures!

The Sharingan is effective against tailed beasts, and Aoshui's eyes are a fusion of the ocular powers of too many Uchiha...

"Don't be nervous, everyone."

[Sensing a strong sense of fear towards its host, the Three-Tails has been bound as a target!]

[Sensing a strong sense of fear towards its host, the Six-Tails has been bound as a target!]

Qing Shui coughed lightly and walked towards the Three-Tails and Six-Tails, subtly absorbing some of the tailed beasts' chakra.

【Shark Guardian】: Your ninjutsu and melee attacks have the effect of absorbing chakra.

Aoshui's special talent, derived from Kisame, gives his ordinary eye techniques the ability to steal chakra.

At this point, Qingshui possessed the chakra of the Three, Four, Five, Six, and Nine-Tails, with the One, Two, Seven, and Eight-Tails remaining unacquired.

"To put up a fight with Kaguya, we need a full range of Tailed Beast chakra types, but the quantity can't be too much..."

"Even the Sage of Six Paths had to break free from the state of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. These tailed beasts are essentially Kaguya's vassals. If they were all gathered into her body without warning, it would cause problems."

Qing Shui pondered to himself, "When I can control Kaguya, it won't take much effort to retrieve these tailed beasts."

Just like Madara Uchiha after his resurrection in the original timeline, he devoured all nine tailed beasts in one go with the Gedo Mazo. He only needed to glare at them with his Rinnegan. Meanwhile, Nagato and Obito, who were not strong enough, dragged on with the ninja world for twenty years, but in reality, it was of little use.

It's nothing more than a monkey show...

"Seisui, the chakra of the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails has appeared in your body!" Tobirama Senju frowned, glaring at the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan within him, and spoke in a deep voice.

It's impossible for Qing Shui to absorb the chakra of the tailed beasts, because that would only accelerate the erosion of his physical body...

"Tobirama, stop staring at those eyes. I actively absorbed them; I used my eye power to extract their essence."

Aokiji spoke wearily, "Have you forgotten? I've willingly extracted chakra from the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, and even the Nine-Tails..."

"Why did you do this, Aozumi?" Tobirama Senju asked, puzzled.

"According to the Uchiha Stone Tablet, restoring the Ten-Tails requires the combined power of all nine tailed beasts..."

Qing Shui said softly:

"Although I can't absorb all nine tailed beasts into my body, I can make them incomplete. That way, I can strengthen the seal, since neither you nor I can predict how the ninja world will change in the future..."

"Even if the Uchiha stone tablet is dealt with, how can we know if the Sage of Six Paths has other lies to deceive the world?"

“Taking away some of the tailed beasts’ chakra is better than letting those tailed beasts, which are related to the Sage of Six Paths’ resurrection, continue to operate in the ninja world intact… I don’t know if this will work, but in any case, while I can still do something for this world, I’ll try my best to do it.”

Tobirama Senju slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain where Aomine could not see him.

Why…

Why couldn't he, with his unparalleled intellect in the ninja world, come up with a way to save Aozumi?

"Kisame, Kaguya Kimijiro, come here..."
