Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Orochimaru began forming hand seals, and a massive chain, even thicker than Kushina's, emerged from his body. Jiraiya was utterly shocked; he hadn't expected Orochimaru to be involved in sealing techniques as well.

Orochimaru's current body was created using Hashirama's cells. Although it's only a semi-finished product, its former owner was Hashirama Senju, so Orochimaru is quite powerful.

Orochimaru obtained the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques only after investigating Danzo's Root organization. He couldn't learn them before, but after using White Zetsu as test subjects, Orochimaru was able to train in the sealing techniques. However, each body can only be used once; after use, the body becomes an ordinary body, and one can only live as an ordinary person for the rest of their life. Therefore, Shisui summoned Orochimaru's clones, and whenever Orochimaru used a sealing technique, he would immediately switch to a different body.

"It's you again, you ant."

When Kurama saw that Orochimaru had also used a sealing technique, and that Orochimaru was even more powerful than Kushina, Kurama was completely unable to resist. Kurama had thought that this time, it would be free and could roam the ninja world with impunity. However, it did not expect that in the current ninja world, there was no Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, but instead Orochimaru, a ninja who was specifically designed to counter it. It was truly an ill-fated moment!

Orochimaru dragged Kurama's body toward Kushina's location. Although Kurama was unwilling, things did not go according to its will.

"Lord Hokage, please wait a moment."

Just as the Nine-Tails was about to be sealed into Kushina's body, Kushina shouted.

Immediately, everyone present turned their attention to Kushina, wanting to know why he stopped Orochimaru.

"Minato, go and bring the child over."

Given Minato's speed, it wouldn't have taken more than five seconds for him to appear next to Kushina, holding a blond baby.

"I plan to divide the Nine-Tails into two parts, sealing one part into my body and the other part into my son's body."

Everyone present looked on in disbelief. They hadn't expected Kushina to have such an idea; she was a Jinchūriki, essentially using her own body as a prison, destined to live her entire life with a Tailed Beast. The advantage, however, was a constant source of chakra, allowing her to utilize the Tailed Beast's power in battle and increasing her survival rate. It was a trade-off, a win-win situation.

Have you two thought it through?

Orochimaru, as the Hokage, confirmed one last time that separating the tailed beasts would reduce the danger posed by Kurama (the Nine-Tails). If there were another rampage, Kurama's strength would not be as great as it is now, making it much easier to deal with.

After exchanging a glance, Kushina and Minato, the couple, instantly reached a tacit understanding and nodded.

Seeing their attitude, Orochimaru knew what to do. With a rapid series of hand seals, a phantom of a Shinigami appeared behind him. The Shinigami drew its sword from its mouth and slashed directly at the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails' soul was instantly split in two; one half returned to Kushina's body, and the other half entered the infant's body.

Shisui immediately pried open the mouths of Orochimaru's clones. After releasing his ninjutsu, Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and a snake with the exact same face as Orochimaru emerged. It slithered into the clone's mouth, and the life force of the Orochimaru who had released the ninjutsu was taken away by the Shinigami.

"The gears of fate continue to turn. I never expected Kushina to make such a choice. She's so willing to sacrifice herself to protect her young child!"

Tonight's drama was a real treat for Carrot, and in the end, Shinjiro's actions earned Carrot's admiration. It seems that her carefree attitude was just a facade.

After watching the play and taking a bath, Carrot dried himself off and went to bed. He wasn't worried about the horn running away, because the horn was a clever man.

Chapter 115 A Different Kind of Opponent

The next morning, Carrot got up for breakfast, but someone else was already there.

Good morning, Kakuzu.

After greeting everyone, Carrot grabbed a rice ball from the table and swallowed it one by one.

"That's me..."

Kakuzu hadn't finished speaking, but seeing Carrot eating like a starving ghost, he stopped talking.

"Boss, give me another 50 servings like this."

Carrot shouted at the boss.

The owner knew that a big customer had arrived, so he served the food much faster.

Carrot was in the best mood when he was eating; the joy of enjoying delicious food was the beginning of his happy mood, especially when someone was treating him.

"Kakuzu, please settle the bill."

After swallowing the last bite of food, Carrot said to Kakuzu.

Kakuzu was like a wronged wife, reluctantly paying the bill. Asking Kakuzu to spend money was like cutting his own flesh with a knife. But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If you don't have the power, you can only have money. This fully illustrates Kakuzu's current predicament.

"Where are we going now?"

Kakuzu, who had been walking aimlessly with Carrot for a while, couldn't help but ask.

Have you ever heard of God?

"God, those are just characters in a storybook."

Kakuzu didn't believe Carrot's words at all; he just thought Carrot was making fun of him.

"In your eyes, they are just characters in a storybook, but to me, they are formidable opponents."

"You...you want to kill a god?"

Kakuzu stared at Carrot in disbelief. He knew Carrot wouldn't lie to him like that, because it was the confidence of a strong person who disdained to lie. This was what Kakuzu couldn't understand—the stories passed down in those novels really did have real-life counterparts.

"No, no, they are not gods. They are just people whose power has reached a level that is beyond human comprehension, which is why they are given the title of gods."

Carrot's eyes were bright as he spoke, clearly eager to test his skills against his opponents.

Kakuzu found Carrot's expression very familiar, because he had the same expression when looking at money. Knowing he had been tricked, Kakuzu began to regret it, regretting why he was so good at making money, which had made the guy in front of him take a liking to him.

Although Carrot was far stronger than Kakuzu, Kakuzu didn't believe Carrot could handle those "gods." Kakuzu had already started thinking about his options.

What should we do about them?

This was the question that puzzled Kakuzu the most, since those gods had not appeared for a long time, to the point that people only knew their names but not their whereabouts.

"Didn't we find it?"

"Well, where is it?"

Every corner of their faces was full of questions.

"It's up there."

Carrot pointed to the sky. Then, in a blinding flash of light, a rift tore open in mid-air.

"What... what's going on?"

Kakuzu's worldview collapsed at that moment.

Carrot grabbed Kakuzu by the back of his collar, and the two slowly began to rise into the air.

"Who dares to disturb my slumber?"

Just as Carrot and Kakuzu entered a secret realm, a deep voice echoed in their minds. The crack in mid-air slowly healed.

"The person who killed you."

Carrot replied as soon as they landed.

Without many words, a life-or-death battle erupted between the two sides, a scene that Kakuzu would never forget. It was completely beyond his imagination; he felt like a small boat adrift on a stormy sea, seemingly on the verge of capsizing and dying at any moment. Now, he was caught between two forces, with no room for resistance and could only endure.

"puff."

Kakuzu coughed up blood and immediately fainted. Carrot glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

"It's better to faint, because the pain will be much less when you're dizzy."

"what."

Carrot began to raise his ki, causing the entire space to tremble. Yellow ki enveloped Carrot's body. It had been many years since he had a proper fight; there were simply no opponents. How could Saiyans grow stronger so quickly without experiencing battle?

"Humans, we live in harmony and do not interfere with each other. There is no need for us to fight to the death."

This is a humanoid deity that lives by relying on human faith; the more believers there are, the stronger it becomes.

"I just want to have a good fight, that's all I need."

Seeing that Carrot showed no sign of stopping, the god's expression turned serious. In all his years of life, this was the first time someone had been able to come here, and such a powerful one at that.

To avoid overestimating himself, the god unleashed his most powerful abilities and engaged Carrot in battle.

"Boom, boom."

The two moved at an extremely fast speed, and the sounds of their clashes were exceptionally loud.

"Boom."

Carrot was knocked down with a single blow, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a deep crater.

Shen Zhi's expression grew even more grave; he knew that the attack had caused no damage to the man before him. Just as he had expected.

"Hahaha, this painful feeling of nostalgia."

After the dust settled, I, Carrot, slowly rose into the air, saying as I ascended.

"Human, you have the right to say your name."

The gods abandoned their usual aloof attitude and chose to engage in dialogue on an equal footing. Strength is always how others treat you, and Carrot perfectly exemplified this.

"My name is Carrot. Remember this name."

After saying that, the aura around Carrot became even larger than before, and its speed also increased significantly. Its opponents couldn't react at all and became Carrot's punching bag.

Carrot kicked the god directly in the head, sending the god crashing headfirst into the ground.

"boom."

It was like a cannonball exploding.

The team of God struggled to their feet, their bodies appearing somewhat dimmer than before.

"I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you're already giving up. Your strength is dissipating too quickly."

Carrot said with great regret.

"Did you see it?"
