Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 282 Kaguya's Deal

"What about that guy's information? Black Zetsu!"

"We haven't found them yet. Enemies with space-time abilities are hard to find, Lord Madara. Even White Zetsu clones can't be tracked."

After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he cursed Madara Uchiha in his heart. He was too busy hiding to even let this foolish reincarnation of Indra send him up. Fortunately, the Ten-Tails was about to be gathered, and he would soon be able to revive his mother.

Madara Uchiha said, "Don't forget this guy. Before I unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi, I definitely need to eliminate any unstable factors."

"Don't worry, Lord Madara."

After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he told Madara Uchiha where the Four-Tails and Five-Tails had been resurrected. It is possible that the Hidden Cloud Village has already sent the Eight-Tails there, intending to have the Eight-Tails persuade the two tailed beasts when they are resurrected.

The information gathered by Bai Zetsu's clones was very comprehensive. One clone pretended to be a servant at Huang Tu's house during the day, while the other clone lurked and eavesdropped on their conversations at night.

Huang Tu happened to be a survivor of the Third Shinobi World War in the Land of Rice Fields. He recounted his experiences fighting alongside the Four-Tails and Five-Tails against the Eight-Tails. He said that if the Eight-Tails hadn't had a life-saving ability, it might be resurrected alongside the Four-Tails and Five-Tails right now.

It was precisely because of the Eight-Tails' connection that Iwagakure agreed to let the Eight-Tails persuade the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, whose power was indispensable in this war.

The bottom line for Iwagakure is to borrow the power of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. As long as they win this war, the current Jinchuriki can release the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails before they die. In other words, the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails can serve as Jinchuriki for one term.

If the Four-Tails and Five-Tails don't even agree to this bottom line, then Iwagakure will have no choice but to take tough measures.

On the other side, Konoha Village.

After Tsunade woke up, she went to take care of things early in the morning. As for Uchiha Yoko, Tsunade simply handed her over to her father, Uchiha Yoichi, to take care of for the day.

Before Uchiha Yoichi could react, Tsunade's shadow clone disappeared, leaving Uchiha Yoichi with no choice but to spend time with his daughter.

Fortunately, he wasn't really interested in village affairs. Uchiha Yoichi originally wanted to become Hokage for two reasons: first, to marry Tsunade, and second, to live a life of enjoyment and, incidentally, to reshape the ninja world into his own shape.

The first two points have been met, and the last point is in progress, and he doesn't need to worry about it all the time.

While playing with his daughter, Uchiha Yoichi thought to himself that after conquering Kirigakure, he planned to select the Sixth Hokage.

However, before electing the Sixth Hokage, he still had to deal with the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire; the next Hokage would most likely be chosen from Shisui and Nawaki. Kakashi had no idea about it, but he would definitely be ranked ahead of Shisui.

Although Nawaki's strength is slightly inferior to Shisui's, he has been training in Wood Release with Hashirama Senju recently, and he must have made considerable progress by now.

However, neither of them has much courage. If the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire were entrusted to them, they would most likely end up making a mess of things.

While playing with his daughter, Uchiha Yoichi also opened his ability panel. He hadn't found any good trade options last night, so he'd take another look today.

"I hope to obtain one of the top twelve different flames, in return for six grade eight five-colored pills."

"I hope to find a way to resolve the wedge issue, and in return, I will express my gratitude."

"I hope to obtain a method to resolve the calamity-inducing poison, in return for a meticulously compiled medical book."

"I hope to obtain the power of Yin and Yang to break the seal and reward myself with a bloodline ability."

Uchiha Yoichi suddenly saw the request for a trade between Yin and Yang powers. Everything he had seen before was beyond his capabilities, but this was something he could accomplish.

He happens to possess both Yin and Yang powers, and the only way to seal both of these powers is through the Six Paths: Earth Explosion Star.

"Needing both Yin and Yang power... Could this request be from Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Yoichi sealed Kaguya's consciousness, her body became the Gedo Mazo, and her chakra was divided into nine parts.

The most important step for her to be fully resurrected is to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to release her consciousness. Otherwise, even if she gathers all nine tailed beasts to revive the Ten-Tails, she will only have a little bit of her consciousness.

Given enough time, Madara Uchiha will definitely digest the power of the Ten-Tails, and even the ability of Amenominaka will become Madara Uchiha's ability.

"Give it a try."

After some deliberation, Uchiha Yoichi made this decision. Ultimately, strength dictates his thoughts. He no longer needed to fear Kaguya. If he wished, he could kill all his enemies within a year, even with some hard work.

However, he was too tired. Uchiha felt that he was already so strong, so why did he still have to work so hard for others?

After making the decision, Yin and Yang powers appeared in Uchiha Yoichi's hands. He then clasped his hands together and used the Six Paths Technique: Planetary Devastation Release. Suddenly, the power in his hands disappeared.

Because he agreed to the deal, the Power Wheel directly drained his power.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yoichi felt something was wrong, so he carried Yoko outside and looked up at the moon. He suddenly realized that the moon was unusually bright today, and it was very clear even in daylight.

However, it seemed that few others noticed, and Uchiha Yangyi went back after a while.

As soon as he returned to the house, he suddenly felt a change in his body, as if he had suddenly gained an extra ability.

Uchiha Yoichi stretched out his hand, and then a piece of gray bone slowly grew from his palm. This piece of bone was full of decaying and destructive power, making Uchiha Yoichi himself feel very powerful.

If such a short bone were to strike him, he would probably have to consume half of the remaining life energy in his body to counteract that decaying power.

"Ya ya ya"

When Uchiha Yoko saw the bones on Uchiha Yoichi's hand, she reached out to touch them.

But Uchiha Yoichi quickly stopped him: "You can't touch the All-Killing Ash Bones, it's too dangerous."

After saying that, he put the ash bones of the common killer back.

Uchiha Yoichi was quite surprised to gain this ability, but it did enhance his strength. Although Uchiha Yoichi had mastered Yin-Yang Release, Six Paths Sage Technique, and the Rinnegan with six tomoe.

However, he has not yet mastered the Bloodline Limit. It seems to be a special move that can only be activated by absorbing the Divine Tree. His Rinnegan absorbs the power of Indra and Ashura, which is theoretically also the power of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

To unlock one's own bloodline limit, one must absorb a Ten-Tails.

Uchiha Yoichi was eyeing the Ten-Tails of Otsutsuki Isshiki, the Ten-Tails that Uchiha Madara had collected, and Kaguya's will was too much; while Otsutsuki Isshiki's Ten-Tails had not been absorbed by anyone yet, making it perfect for him.

Afterwards, Uchiha Yoichi took Yoko home. He wanted to try out the ability of All-Killing Ash Bones, so he asked Mina to take care of Yoko.

After bringing Yoko back to the Uchiha clan's home, Mina's first reaction upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi was surprise, but she quickly took him in her arms.

"Yoichi is really a womanizer. Besides Lady Tsunade, there must be others too."

While teasing Yoko, Mina said to Uchiha Yoichi with a hint of resentment, referring to Yugito. She added that the girl was almost mature, and perhaps one day her belly would grow bigger and bigger.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yang gave an awkward smile and then made an excuse to leave.

There's also Kushina and Konan. Kushina might be exposed later, and Konan should just stick to being a secretary/assistant. But he already has enough children, so it's better to be more careful in the future.

Konoha, on the other side.

As the war against the nobles of the Land of Wind drew to a close, Jiraiya applied to return to his village.

He wasn't the type of person who could manage, so his usefulness diminished considerably after the war ended. After receiving Jiraiya's application, Yekura handed it over directly to the village, and Jiraiya was allowed to end his mission and return to the village within two days.

After returning, Jiraiya frequently visited Minato's house. He also learned about the near-attack on Kushina and was very glad that the enemy had not succeeded, otherwise, who knows what bad things the enemy who obtained the power of the Nine-Tails might have done.

At this time, Minato Namikaze was teaching Naruto. He originally wanted to teach Naruto the Rasengan, but found that Naruto was too young, so he could only accompany Naruto in other training.

As for training in the Rasengan, that can only be left for Naruto to ask Jiraiya for help when he grows up.

"Dad, take this!"

On the training ground, Naruto was incredibly fast, almost as fast as the Body Flicker Technique, and appeared directly to Minato Namikaze's left, launching a barrage of punches and kicks.

He was very fast, and he also used a fully focused breathing technique, making full use of his physical abilities.

However, Naruto's attacks were all blocked by Minato Namikaze. Minato was somewhat surprised, as Naruto was already so strong even before he entered the Ninja Academy.

After exchanging dozens of blows, Minato Namikaze used a Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Naruto, then quickly grabbed Naruto's arms with both hands and subdued him.

"hateful."

After trying to break free, Naruto realized he couldn't, so he hung his head and said weakly, "I lost again!"

Minato Namikaze released Naruto and then said with a smile, "Naruto, your strength has already surprised me. When I was this young, I wasn't as strong as you. Have you received any training in taijutsu?"

"Yeah, I often train in taijutsu with Sasuke and Kimimaro, and my taijutsu is even stronger than Sasuke's, hehe!"

When Naruto mentioned this, he put his hands behind his head and laughed smugly, completely unaware that Sasuke had already learned ninjutsu and swordsmanship. Although his taijutsu was not as good as Naruto's, his overall strength was much greater.

"So, were your martial arts skills taught by the Fifth Hokage?"

"No, Uncle Yang only taught Sasuke and me one breathing technique; Kimimaro taught us the taijutsu."

Naruto shook his head and said that Kimimaro told him that when he and Sasuke could team up to defeat him, they could ask Uncle Yoichi for advice; however, Naruto felt that it was too difficult, as he and Sasuke could not last more than a few moves against Kimimaro.

"Naruto, a ninja's strength isn't just about taijutsu; ninjutsu and other aspects are also very important."

Jiraiya stepped forward with a smile and said to Naruto, "From now on, I'll teach you ninjutsu. I'll make sure you inherit all my strongest ninjutsu."

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell uncontrollably to the ground, groaning unconsciously in pain.

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze quickly went to Jiraiya's side. After sensing with his chakra and finding nothing amiss, he hurriedly said to Naruto, "Naruto, go tell Mom I'm taking Jiraiya-sensei to the hospital."

Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, he felt Jiraiya tug at his sleeve, then lower his head.

"Miao Miao Mt."

After saying those words, Jiraiya completely lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze knew what to do. He immediately used the Summoning Jutsu to summon Gamachu and said to it, "Gamachu, Jiraiya-sensei has encountered a bit of an accident and needs Fukasaku-sensei to take a look. When you get back, immediately have Gamabunta use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon me and Jiraiya-sensei over there."

"Okay, I understand."

Gamachu was still unaware of what was going on, but after hearing Minato Namikaze's words, he quickly dispelled the Reverse Summoning Technique and returned to Mount Myōboku.

Not long after, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya were summoned directly to Mount Myōboku.

Gamabunta, a toad as tall as a small mountain, saw the unconscious Jiraiya and hurriedly asked, "Minato, how did you come back to life? And what happened to Jiraiya?"

"Boss Bunta, this is urgent. I'll talk to you later. I'm going to find Master Fukasaku now."

Minato Namikaze, unaware of Jiraiya's situation, had no interest in chatting with Bunta and carried Jiraiya towards Mount Myōboku.

As for Konoha Village, when Naruto summoned Kushina to the training grounds, he found the place deserted.

So Kushina said to Naruto, "Don't rush, Naruto, you go home first, I'll go to Konoha Hospital to check on things."

------------

"Was that feeling...my mother?"

As Black Zetsu was on its way, it suddenly sensed its mother's will awakening. Shocked, it burrowed out of the ground, having just felt its mother's will.

"Impossible, how could this be without activating Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

However, when Black Zetsu looked up at the moon, it actually sensed its mother's will and was perfectly lucid.

"Ten-Tails: Resurrection"

Black Zetsu only heard a few messages, but that was enough for it to be certain that this was its mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, because it was Kaguya's will separated from hers, so it couldn't possibly be mistaken.

"Although I don't know what happened, it's a good thing. Mother may have broken free from Hamura Hagoromo's seal on her own, so she can slowly regain her power now, hehehe."

Black Zetsu became even more excited after thinking about this and burrowed underground to chase after Madara Uchiha.

If even its mother could break the seal on her own, then it too must work hard, at least to help Madara Uchiha collect all nine tailed beasts as soon as possible.
