Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Yekura was the ninja chosen by Aomine.

“Do you know why I proposed a peace treaty? As I said, I am not someone who is hindered by righteousness and titles. If I wanted to invade, I wouldn’t care about these things.”

Qing Shui sighed softly:

"At that time, I had already discovered the secret of the Otsutsuki clan and found that the Sage of Six Paths, who had once destroyed the ninja world, was on the verge of revival. I planned to seal him away with my own body."

"But you guys make me uneasy... If I lead Konoha to show weakness and you still sign a peace treaty, it proves that I don't need to suffer your betrayal on the way to sealing the demon, so naturally I won't start a war."

"But you... have disappointed me greatly."

Ye Cang's eyes widened suddenly: "You...you actually thought that!"

"But why don't you tell the whole ninja world the truth? If the Otsutsuki clan really exists!"

Qingshui smiled and said, "Do you think... given the mindset of the village leaders, they would believe it?"

Ye Cang took a deep breath and nodded:

"Indeed, if you hadn't already become a legendary ninja, I would also think you've gone mad, actually talking about the Sage of Six Paths and the Otsutsuki!"

Qing Shui nodded:

"Therefore, to prevent you from breaking the seal after I disappear, I have no choice but to eliminate the warmongers within the Allied Shinobi Forces..."

"At that time, I thought that if you interfered with my sealing of the Sage of Six Paths, you would release a demon that would be able to destroy the entire ninja world. The fact that other hidden villages broke the peace agreement also left me with no other options in a short period of time."

Qing Shui sighed helplessly:

"This is a difficult task... I'm not entirely confident I can seal the Sage of Six Paths. I also need to be careful with my actions, preserving a seed of embers so that if I fail, the ninja world might still have a chance to resist..."

"This is also what you're asking: why didn't I just wipe out the entire Allied Shinobi Forces...?"

“In my eyes, you are like rebellious children. I need to punish you, but I can’t kill you… Although your greed and madness have made me somewhat disappointed in humanity on many nights.”

"But in the end, I still chose to save the ninja world."

"Did you understand what I said, Ye Cang..." Qing Shui said softly.

Ye Cang was stunned.

After a long while, the Sunagakure wielder slowly nodded, looking at Aokiji with an extremely complex expression:

"So, you're not a demon from the ninja world..."

"But rather, a savior."

Chapter 242 Shoulder the responsibility of telling the world the truth, Yecang

Operation Qingshui Rescue is now in effect!

"Savior?"

Qing Shui chuckled and shook his head: "That's too much praise... I'm not here to save the world, I'm only here to save those close to me..."

"It's just an attempt to keep the ninja world alive, by the way."

Yecang remained silent.

Is this really the case?

If Uchiha Aokizu wanted to escape the disaster brought by the Otsutsuki...

With his talent and Konoha's resources, is it really necessary for him to risk his life? For him, living a peaceful life in a remote corner shouldn't be difficult.

Shocked, Ye Cang pieced together the logic of the situation and tentatively asked, "So... what's your situation now?"

"Now that you have emerged from the seal, have you defeated the evil Sage of Six Paths?"

"And... who is that Otsutsuki you mentioned who controls several hidden villages?"

Yekura strained her brain, even though she was a seasoned Jonin and a strong contender for the Fourth Kazekage title…

But within those few short minutes...

The values, sense of belonging, and impressions built up over nearly thirty years, along with the battlefield where tens of thousands died, were all instantly destroyed and disintegrated, reconstructed into an extremely abstract situation.

After being betrayed by ninjas from the same village, Yekura met the demon of the ninja world, Uchiha Aoshui, and had to change her own perception to tell herself that Aoshui was not a demon but a savior.

She's about to short-circuit!

"No... The Sage of Six Paths is hiding in the Pure Land. I originally intended to seal him, but I ended up sealing the Otsutsuki clan, whom I had previously pledged to protect, inside my body..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared in Qing Shui's eyes: "Is this considered friendly fire? Her name is Kaguya. She was erased from existence by the Sage of Six Paths and was revered as the Goddess of the Rabbit in ancient times."

Ye Cang blinked, and for some reason, she noticed the awkwardness that naturally appeared on Qing Shui's face...

I'm increasingly convinced that everything about the Otsutsuki clan is real.

It also felt like Qing Shui, this aloof demon or savior, had gained a touch more humanity...

So, it turns out that Qing Shui wasn't infallible after all?

He makes mistakes just like an ordinary person, and he even accidentally injures friendly forces like a low-ranking ninja...

Seeing the complex yet relieved look in Ye Cang's eyes, Qing Shui, unusually, turned his head and whispered:

"You need to know... the stories of the Sage of Six Paths and those Otsutsuki clans were pieced together from the Uchiha stone tablet and the scriptures of the Three Sacred Lands. It was already quite an achievement to be able to reconstruct the general outline..."

"Among them, the Sage of Six Paths also insidiously erased Kaguya's existence..."

Ye Cang looked at Qing Shui, who was quietly comforting him, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Is this Uchiha guy that good-looking?

It's even kind of cute!

Although Aokiji was renowned throughout the ninja world, as a ninja from another village, almost no one had ever seriously examined his face…

I only know his general appearance and build.

As for why…

Of course, no one dared to meet Qing Shui's gaze!

If you were to look up at Qing Shui on the battlefield, and that person's gaze were to fall upon you, wouldn't that be tantamount to being dead?

But now, Qing Shui, in this posture, is just like a friendly boy next door who wanted to help others but accidentally made a mistake, his sunny disposition carrying a hint of sincere grievance...

"I understand, I understand..."

Yekura chuckled softly to herself, "I'm not saying you handled it wrong, esteemed Demon Lord of the Ninja World..."

"I'm just... I've never seen you like this before, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

Qing Shui shook his head helplessly.

Meanwhile, Kaguya, inside Aozumi's body, was looking at Yekura with a very dangerous gaze.

What happened to this woman?

Kaguya disliked the way Yekura looked at Aoshui intensely. Having just assumed the role of the goddess of the ninja world, the Rabbit Goddess, she was now acting like the progenitor of chakra…

Even if it's about saving the ninja world, one more ninja wouldn't make a difference, right?

Why don't we just get rid of this ninja with the weird look in his eyes!

But Kaguya only thought about it. To avoid giving Aokiji a bad impression of her, the Rabbit Goddess gave Yekura a few deep looks, carefully memorizing her features and chakra aura, before silently thinking to herself:

"There is ample time!"

"Let's leave those side stories aside... Pakura, as I mentioned before, the Sage of Six Paths stole Kaguya's title as the protector of the ninja world, wrote a false history, and made himself a revered sage, but in reality, he was hiding in the Pure Land..."

"And this pure land is precisely the most crucial and vital point."

Qingshui said in a deep voice, "I originally sought out the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, as an accomplice... His soul left the Pure Land earlier, before I was noticed by the Sage of Six Paths, so he shouldn't have had any of the Sage of Six Paths' hidden tricks on him..."

"But he then used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, after I sealed myself... Tobirama Senju's intentions were good; he wanted to summon the powerful figures of the past to help me suppress the Sage of Six Paths, but he didn't know that the Pure Land was the Sage of Six Paths' stronghold."

"If I were to join forces with Tobirama Senju and the others now, those impure bodies that have returned from the Pure Land might become the tools by which the Sage of Six Paths carries his power, devouring Kaguya within me and ultimately becoming an unstoppable, world-destroying, complete form!"

Yekura straightened her expression with a serious expression.

This is also something she wanted to ask…

Why doesn't Qingshui join forces with the strong warriors of Konoha to fight the Sage of Six Paths together?

It turns out the roots are here!

"And the Otsutsuki who controls the Allied Shinobi Forces, whose name is Isshiki... His goal is also to devour Kaguya, but he is not on the same side as the Sage of Six Paths."

Qingshui said softly, "Given that Kaguya's power is at a disadvantage... the only way I can think of to break this deadlock is to make these two Otsutsuki fight each other in order to devour me and Kaguya..."

"In that case, I might find an opportunity to eliminate both of them in one fell swoop. This would be the last chance for the ninja world to turn the tide."

Yekura took a deep breath.

Is Qingshui a sunny and cheerful boy next door?

Admittedly, Yekura had such feelings when she let go of her fear of death and joked with Aoshui.

But when it comes to real combat, Qing Shui is still the invincible demon of the ninja world!

Even when they were clearly outmatched and under intense scrutiny, they still found a way to break the deadlock…

This time, however, as someone who was presumably an "ally," Yekura finally understood what it felt like to stand on the same side as Aomine...

Yekura thought about it for a long time.

After a moment, Ye Cang said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why you would tell me, an ordinary Jonin who can't do anything, these secrets about ancient sages..."

"But if there is anything I can do, please tell me."

"After all, I am also a member of the ninja world. I can't let you, a demon, do all the work of saving the world by yourself, can I?"

Ye Cang said with a dashing smile.

After some thought, Yekura chose to believe that everything Aomine said was true!

Because Qingshui had no reason or need to lie to her…

Aoshizu is not the cunning Rasa, nor the pedantic high-ranking officials of various villages who scheme against each other, but the new god of the ninja world who ascended to the top of the ninja world at the age of eighteen, and is respected and loved by countless ninjas!

Or perhaps someone with an extremely strong murderous intent, unbound by worldly norms and reputation...

"The reason I chose you is because you were abandoned by Isshiki, rejected by Tobirama Senju, and out of the Sage of Six Paths' sight. You also have your own strength."
