Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 296 Konoha or Mount Myōboku

Just as I was about to go home, I was caught by that treacherous Sage of Six Paths.

They actually hid their chakra in Jiraiya's body and accumulated so much chakra.

Uchiha Yoichi recalled the scene just now. He would never have believed that the Sage of Six Paths could possess chakra in the ninja world that was no less than Kaguya's. Without the help of Mount Myōboku, he would never have believed it even if he were beaten to death.

That chakra was many times, even ten times, greater than that of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

After Kaguya Otsutsuki used Amanokinaka to transfer the group out, she had used up a lot of chakra, which made her frown slightly. Chakra was her life. Although Yoichi Uchiha had promised to deal with the Otsutsuki clan, she was still a little uncomfortable with wasting so much chakra.

"Master Yoichi."

"Yoichi-kun!"

"The Fifth Generation"

Upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi return, everyone gathered around him. They had all been very worried about him, as he was the soul of the village.

The unification of the ninja world and the reform of the village were all achieved under the command of Uchiha Yoichi, which led to the development of the village to its current scale.

"It's alright, Rimi. You and Kurenai represent the Hokage Building and lead the security team to appease the village. After that, come find me at the Hokage Building. The rest of you, come back to the Hokage Building with me. We'll talk about it there."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he saw Orochimaru was also there, so he gestured to him as well; when it came to the Otsutsuki, Orochimaru had a say, and he didn't know what research results Orochimaru had obtained from Urashiki.

Before returning, Uchiha Yoichi saw the hundreds-of-meters-deep crater caused by the Truth-Seeking Ball explosion in front of the village, so he immediately raised his hand and used Earth Release to fill it in. Then he used Wood Release to make the destroyed trees grow back.

That Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo guy, he's found another damn excuse.

After returning, Uchiha Yoichi recounted the events in his large office; he started with the Infinite Tsukuyomi and recounted how these things came together one after another.

After everyone heard the story, even Uchiha Yoichi's bedmate, Tsunade, and Mikoto Mina were quite shocked, their faces showing expressions of astonishment.

They had no idea that so much had happened in less than a day.

Almost everyone in the office glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki discreetly. They never expected that this seemingly cold and beautiful woman was actually the goddess of the rabbit from a thousand years ago, and also an alien.

He is still the guardian of the Fifth Hokage, so the matter of him using genjutsu to control the entire ninja world before can no longer be investigated.

However, since the Infinite Tsukuyomi issue had been resolved without any significant loss, the incident involving Kaguya Otsutsuki only shocked them briefly, after which they began to worry about the other members of the Otsutsuki clan.

If even the mythical goddess of the Rabbit could be afraid, how strong must those Otsutsuki enemies be?

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju asked, "Fifth Hokage, wasn't the one who tried to seize the Nine-Tails and my elder brother's chakra last time also from the Otsutsuki clan?"

"Yes, his name is Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, but he's probably the weakest of the Ōtsutsuki. Although he's still alive, he's been sealed in Orochimaru's laboratory."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yang mention Orochimaru, everyone turned to look at him simultaneously.

Orochimaru also spoke up, saying, "The research is progressing quite smoothly. This guy seems to be able to adapt to various bloodline limits. Based on the current research results, it could allow Konoha to produce a new batch of bloodline limit ninjas."

Although Urashiki lost his most important Rinnegan, he was still an Otsutsuki who had eaten the fruit of the God Tree, making him a very important treasure.

Even though Orochimaru's research time was short, he still gained a lot; by fusing Otsutsuki Urashiki's gene cells with other bloodline cells, he could perfectly transplant them into another ordinary person, giving him a bloodline limit immediately.

Moreover, it is a perfect bloodline limit. Take Haku's Ice Release as an example. Even an ordinary person, after inheriting Ice Release, would not lose in power to the Yuki clan of Kirigakure.

However, today was not Orochimaru's research results report meeting; he only briefly mentioned the situation of Otsutsuki Urashiki, so Uchiha Yoichi told him to stop.

"According to the information provided by Kaguya, in addition to Urashiki, there are also Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Otsutsuki Isshiki hiding in the ninja world. I will have the Anbu organize the information and distribute it later."

Uchiha Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "However, when searching for Ichishiki, we should try to remain hidden. This guy has lived for over a thousand years. If we disturb him, he might just change his body and continue to hide."

Replacing the wedge with a wedge that perfectly matches the full power of Isshiki Otsutsuki is not easy, but replacing it with a vessel that does not use the power of Otsutsuki is something Isshiki can do.

Forced into a corner, he could easily hide as an ordinary person for decades; at that time, Konoha would be helpless against him unless they thoroughly investigated everyone in the entire ninja world.

"In that case, we'll have to send in the elite of the ANBU and the security forces to gather information; ordinary ninjas would likely be detected by the enemy."

Sakumo Hatake stroked his chin and said, "It would be better to establish a dedicated intelligence unit, just like Root did before."

"Well said, Fourth Hokage. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi was overjoyed and quickly passed the matter on to Hatake Sakumo.

"Me? Wait a minute, Fifth Generation, I think..."

"The Fourth Hokage, who once served in the Anbu, is the most suitable candidate. I will have Kakashi help you. It's settled then."

Uchiha Yoichi didn't give Hatake Sakumo a chance to object at all, and directly used a series of moves to leave the matter to Hatake Sakumo.

He also mentioned Kakashi, giving Sakumo Hatake no chance to object.

"Now that this matter is decided, let's talk about something else, Fifth Boss."

Tobirama Senju also secretly lent a hand, and both generations of Hokage entrusted the task of forming elite intelligence ninjas to Sakumo Hatake, effectively sealing the deal.

"Has the matter of the Sage of Six Paths been resolved? What about that Jiraiya guy back then? What was going on with him?"

Upon hearing Jiraiya's name, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been keeping a low profile, perked up his ears. He was still unaware of what had happened, but how did Jiraiya end up with the Sage of Six Paths?

Uchiha Yoichi summoned an ANBU member and ordered him to bring Jiraiya from the Konoha hospital. He had saved Jiraiya's life earlier, and he should be awake by now.

Before anyone could wait long, a dejected-looking Jiraiya was brought over by the Anbu.

"The Fifth Generation"

Jiraiya looked around at everyone in the room and then spoke. He saw that most of them looked puzzled and confused, while Tobirama Senju was scrutinizing him, and Tsunade looked disgusted with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

That look deeply hurt Jiraiya, and he felt extremely sad.

Uchiha Yoichi asked calmly, "Jiraiya, do you remember what just happened?"

"Remember, remember a little."

Jiraiya touched his chest where the hole had been pierced through him; the memory was particularly vivid in his mind. As the Sage of Six Paths' chakra was absorbed, he slowly regained consciousness.

"It wasn't under my control at the time, Fifth Generation."

"I know, but you should understand now that the ambush I suffered is closely related to Mount Myōboku behind you, and may even have been orchestrated by Mount Myōboku."

After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, some people in the room who did not know what had happened, such as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku, showed shock and confusion on their faces, not understanding what had just happened.

Uchiha Yoichi continued, "Mount Myōboku must be wiped out, not a single toad will be spared. But now I want to know, Jiraiya, are you a Konoha ninja, or a contractor of Mount Myōboku!"

"Wait, wait a minute. The Fifth Hokage might not necessarily be related to Mount Myōboku. They're just sacred shrines for summoning spirits, and they haven't been involved in the ninja world for nearly a thousand years."

"Not involved in the affairs of the ninja world? What's this about the Child of Prophecy? A mere toad can fool you completely, and you even used the excuse of going on a mission to find the Child of Prophecy. Since when have toads been able to control the fate of humanity?"

Uchiha Yoichi's words made Jiraiya lower his head, but he was very unwilling. After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, he raised his head to explain.

But Uchiha Yoichi interrupted him directly, saying, "This is not a discussion, but a notification. I know better than you whether Mount Myōboku has made a move. Since you attacked me, you must bear the consequences."

If you're unwilling to contribute to the destruction of Mount Myōboku, then you shouldn't be a Konoha ninja anymore.

This was an ultimatum, and Jiraiya was terribly flustered upon hearing it; he simply couldn't decide on this choice.

He grew up in Konoha, and he was also the one who earned his Sannin status there. His teachers and comrades are also from Konoha, and most of his memories are from there.

However, without Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya would have remained a bottom-tier student, no matter how much he trained, he could never catch up to Orochimaru. It was Mount Myōboku that gave him power, allowing him to catch up with Orochimaru, become one of the Legendary Sannin, and even take on several disciples.

"Fifth Hokage, I cannot attack Mount Myōboku! There must be some misunderstanding, Fifth Hokage, please..."

At this point, Jiraiya suddenly recalled the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, which said that a person would lead a large number of giant snakes from Ryūchi Cave to destroy Mount Myōboku. It turned out that it really was Uchiha Yōichi.

He had suspected it many times before, but considering that Uchiha Yoichi had no grudge against Mount Myōboku and had no motive for doing so, he assumed it was the contractor from Ryūchi Cave long afterward. He never expected it would be because of today's events.

"Fifth Hokage, please give me a chance. I will definitely find out the truth."

"Shisui, have the sealing team seal Jiraiya's chakra and announce that there will be no more Jiraiya ninjas in the village."

Uchiha Yoichi had no intention of wasting words with Jiraiya. He guessed that Jiraiya might be blindly loyal to Mount Myōboku, so he was too lazy to listen to him continue rambling.

"The Fifth Generation"

Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to persuade him, but was shut down by a single sentence: "Third Hokage, if Jiraiya is willing to stand on the village's side, I can take back what I said before."

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew his disciple Jiraiya well. Of the three disciples, Jiraiya had the most resolute character and would never go back on his decisions. It would be too difficult to get him to change his mind and go after Mount Myōboku.

"Come with me, Jiraiya."

Uchiha Shisui came to Jiraiya's side and said that after learning that Jiraiya was involved in the ambush of the Yang clan chief, his previous respect for him had disappeared.

Moreover, he didn't even stand on the village's side. This kind of ninja is not worthy of Uchiha Shisui's respect at all.

Jiraiya obediently followed Uchiha Shisui and left. Even if he had just woken up, or even in his prime, he might not have been a match for Uchiha Shisui, especially since all the strong people in the village were here.

Only someone who's dizzy would think of running away.

After Jiraiya was subdued, Uchiha Yoichi spoke up, saying, "Before Kaguya's resurrection, the one who collected the Tailed Beasts in the ninja world was Uchiha Madara. However, Uchiha Madara is no longer capable. First Hokage, it's up to you to decide how to deal with Uchiha Madara. I'll have the Anbu take you there later."

The events involving Uchiha Madara, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, and a whole host of other matters need to be dealt with. Uchiha Yoichi estimates that Onoki is dead, or at least practically crippled.

Apart from Konoha's Nine-Tails and Two-Tails, all the other tailed beasts have been absorbed into Kaguya's body. After a while, the consciousness of those tailed beasts will be completely gone.

Even if they were to separate again, they would be a new generation of tailed beasts, but Uchiha Yoichi would never do such a thing.

There were many things to do next, but settling Kaguya Otsutsuki in was quite simple; she could stay near the Uchiha Yang family for the time being.

Everything else could wait. After making some temporary arrangements, Uchiha Yoichi dismissed everyone in the office.

Seeing that he was alright, Mina, Mikoto, Tsunade, and the others left. If they wanted to ask questions, they could wait until evening. This was the busiest time for Uchiha Yoichi, and they knew what was important.

After everyone left, Uchiha Yoichi asked, "Kurenai, is Snake Princess still in the village?"

After thinking for a moment, Kurenai Yuhi replied, "I just saw Princess Tashin. I don't know if the other two are here. Should I have the Anbu bring them here, Yoichi-sensei?"

"Have the Anbu summon Princess Takoto and Princess Takitsu, and use the Summoning Jutsu!"

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he pricked his fingertip, stained it with a little blood, and then used the Summoning Jutsu.

Bang!

A puff of smoke appeared, and then a blue-haired loli snake appeared on Uchiha Yoichi's table.

Before Uchiha Yang could speak, the blue-haired loli Snake crossed her arms and snorted, "Something must have happened to make you think of summoning me. You never contact me unless something's wrong."

"Isn't this a normal psychic relationship? Why are you so angry?"

Uchiha Yoichi then shook his head and said, "After the other two arrive, I have something to tell you. By the way, how often do the giant snakes in Ryuchi Cave feed these days? I'm asking about all the giant snakes."

"Feeding. The normal Ryuchi Cave serpent only needs to eat once every ten days. Those that have developed intelligence eat more. The three of us can go decades without eating."

Princess Ichikishima counted on her fingers, then looked up and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Remember to go back and inform everyone that from now on, all the giant snakes in Ryuchi Cave should avoid eating for at least a month!"
