Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Qing Shui nodded and slowly said:

"From a positioning standpoint, you're best suited to be a surprise attack, but you're still too weak right now; you need to get stronger..."

Seven-colored chakra swirled in Qing Shui's hand, which he slowly grasped in Ye Cang's hand, and said softly, "Make eye contact with me."

Ye Cang's heart skipped a beat, but she still obediently raised her head.

In the blink of an eye, Qingshui's chakra entered Yekura's body.

When one becomes an existence at the level of Asura or Indra, chakra becomes a kind of external avatar, capable of attaching itself to the body of living beings and subtly changing their thoughts and ways of doing things...

And once one reaches the level of Bloodline Limit and Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the uses of chakra become even more limitless.

Even after being struck by Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones and losing the power of the Ten-Tails, the former Jinchuriki, Obito Uchiha, was still able to grant Kakashi the power of the Perfect Susanoo with both Kamui abilities in the original timeline...

"You just need to understand the general situation regarding the Otsutsuki clan. I've given you a portion of my power; your existence is crucial to the entire ninja world..."

Ye Cang felt the power surging within his body, his gaze fixed firmly on Qing Shui.

"I can hardly predict what will happen next. Who will win—Isshiki, the Sage of Six Paths, or me? But for me, and for Kaguya, we need to be believed by everyone..."

"The power of the Goddess of the Rabbit largely stems from the beliefs held in people's hearts..."

Qingshui said slowly:

"At crucial moments, you need to use the power I give you to awaken those genjutsu ninjas who have fallen victim to the first technique, and to rouse the powerful predecessors of Tobirama Senju's Edo Tensei, freeing them from the Sage of Six Paths' control..."

"Tell everyone that the Sage of Six Paths is the mastermind hiding in the Pure Land, and that Isshiki and Kaguya are also involved..."

"While letting everyone know the truth, for the sake of the ninja world's survival, please believe that Kaguya and I will win!"

Qing Shui said this.

Ye Cang nodded emphatically: "I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

Although she didn't think that the unity of the people could have any significance in a battle at the level of an Otsutsuki...

But since Qingshui made this request, it must have some meaning behind it!

Ye Cang understood her own position; completing the task Qing Shui assigned her was already the greatest success...

You could say that Pakura is a chosen one among ninjas, and her personality is like a Sunagakure version of Sakumo Hatake.

"Remember to hide yourself, Ye Cang..." Qing Shui's figure disappeared.

Inside Qing Shui's body, Kaguya hesitated, wanting to speak but unable to...

Judging from the arrangements made for Yekura, Kaguya was able to deduce that Aoisui's purpose was to awaken Gaia's consciousness.

A ninja who was overlooked by Isshiki and the Sage of Six Paths was chosen as a surprise weapon to reveal the "truth" to the ninja world, making their understanding of the situation clearer and rekindling their fighting spirit...

But the problem is.

The truth that Qingshui told us isn't the truth!

If she were just trying to fool Aokiji, Kaguya would be confident... but putting on an act in front of Isshiki and the Sage of Rokudo would be quite a challenge for Kaguya, who's not very good with words...

If this gets exposed, then everything is over!

"I am not Kaguya Otsutsuki, who collects chakra; I am the goddess of the ninja world, the Rabbit Goddess..."

Kaguya took a deep breath and repeatedly hypnotized herself in her mind: "I am here to protect, not to destroy!"

Not only that.

Kaguya was still imagining how she should react if she really fought the Sage of Six Paths and Isshiki, while Yekura shouted out the so-called truth from the sidelines...

Just thinking about it made Kaguya, who wasn't good at this kind of thing, sweat profusely...

But for Qingshui's trust!

Kaguya overcame her fear and thought through her words again and again…

Qingshui didn't think too much about it.

Is Yekura important?

It has some effect, but it's not that important.

Yekura was just a side pawn. The fact that she was used to pull Kaguya out of Yomotsu Hirasaka is already a glorious accomplishment for a nobody who isn't even a Kage-level character.

Even without her, Aozumi believed that with Tobirama Senju's intellect, he would have been able to deduce the truth...

Moreover.

Even if Tobirama Senju had a mishap, wouldn't there still be Izuna Uchiha?

Qingshui believes.

Under his performance, his old partner Tobirama Senju, and Izuna Uchiha, the stranger he knew best...

With the combined efforts of the two great ninja strategists, they will surely be able to deduce the truth that Qing Shui was deceived and tricked by Kaguya!

And there's also Black Zetsu.

He didn't hesitate to give away the precious chakra that Kaguya had left him to Black Zetsu, who was sent to Obito Uchiha...

This made Qingshui ponder.

If Obito Uchiha sacrificed his life to save Black Zetsu, then who would it choose between Kaguya and Obito Uchiha?

And if Kaguya were to witness Black Zetsu betraying her because of Obito Uchiha…

What would Kaguya be feeling?

Just thinking about these events that haven't happened yet, Qing Shui felt as if she could hear the melodious and crisp sound of gold coins falling to the ground.

"It's time to go, Kaguya..."

Qingshui said softly, "According to my senses, the Allied Shinobi Forces have already marched towards the Land of Water..."

"The Allied Shinobi Forces, which I have crippled, will never have the confidence to declare war again. There is only one reason behind this abnormality."

Kaguya nodded in agreement, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Qingshui, if we really have to fight, I will lend you all my power..."

"However, don't underestimate the Sage of Six Paths and Isshiki. One has been cultivating for a thousand years, and the other is the legitimate head of the clan. Their full power, even without the Ten-Tails, is something I don't really have much confidence in..."

"You've done so much for the ninja world. As long as you live, the ninja world will not perish! Do you... understand what I mean? This isn't cowardice, it's for the final victory..."

A hint of surprise flashed through Qing Shui's mind.

Does this mean I've been staying here a long time?

For some reason, Qing Shui felt that Kaguya's ability to lie through her teeth had improved considerably...

"I understand, Kaguya..."

Qingshui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to lead you to victory, not to your death."

Kaguya felt a little more at ease.

Qingshui's promises always gave Kaguya a sense of security she had never experienced before, just like those extremely difficult combat techniques. As long as Qingshui taught her, Kaguya would definitely be able to learn them...

------

A few days later.

Tobirama Senju, along with all the elite ninjas from Kirigakure and Konoha, arrived at the sealed sea surface of the Blue Water. Through the thick seawater, he gazed at the black coffin that he could not actually see.

Rescue of Qingshui Project…

Coming soon!

Chapter 243 Enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile; the Senju and Uchiha...

A fateful showdown!

The Konoha ninja standing behind Tobirama Senju.

Leading the group were Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki, a pair of legendary ninjas from the Warring States period.

The second row includes Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake, Kakuzu, Hiruko, Hizashi Hyuga, and the Eighth Hokage Uchiha…

These are Kage-level or near-Kage-level combatants.

There were also Might Guy and Shisui, three "weaklings" who, in Tobirama Senju's eyes, had some ability but were actually not supposed to be there.

These two people…

One is Qingshui's younger brother, and the other is Qingshui's old caretaker.

Having spent so long inside the body of Aozumi, Tobirama Senju had developed some feelings for the two of them.

So even though I knew they weren't capable enough, I could understand their desire to do something for Qingshui, so I let them come along.

Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina, although they applied to participate in this operation along with Tobirama Senju, were ordered to remain stationed in Konoha due to their connection with Mount Myōboku.

If Tobirama Senju hadn't been in such a hurry and unable to deal with Jiraiya, the leader of Konoha from Mount Myōboku would have been in big trouble!

The Second Hokage, who wasn't exactly known for his magnanimity, remembered...

It was the rumor of the prophesied child of Mount Myōboku that added a lot of pressure to Sei-sui, which could very well cause Sei-sui's mental tension to accelerate the Sage of Six Paths' erosion!

This is a grave sin, an unforgivable sin!

And hidden in the mist.

Tobirama Senju streamlined his forces, selecting only Kisame and Kaguya Kimijiro, the two Jinchuriki whose Tailed Beasts had explicitly agreed to contribute, while the rest remained stationed in place.

When the Sage of Six Paths is the hypothetical enemy, the number of people becomes meaningless.

The physical differences between ordinary Jonin and Genin are not significant; they're not even qualified to be cannon fodder...

"Gentlemen, let me reiterate the plan..."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath: "I have a soul connection with Aoshui, and with Mito's enhancement of my perception, I can find the Blackwater Nine Dragon Coffin in the seabed when I unleash my full Sage Mode."

"Big brother, Tsuna, please transfer the chakra that everyone is giving me to me. I need to quickly use Sage Art: Water Release to pull Qingshui's coffin out of the seabed, and then we'll prepare to open it."

Tobirama Senju said in a deep voice, "After opening the coffin, I will go and communicate with Aoshui first... Even if the Sage of Six Paths were to possess Aoshui, I would definitely be able to detect the anomaly!"

"If anything goes wrong, I will use the Heavenly Rock Guardian Shield formed by all my eye power to protect Qing Shui's soul and body... to help him break free from the Sage of Six Paths' control as much as possible!"

Tobirama Senju tapped Shisui: "Kid, don't be stingy with your eye power, and don't worry that your eye technique burning my potential will affect my life force. Unleash your full power to enhance my strength."

Shisui nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Second Hokage!"
