Chapter 338 Lying

The next day, early in the morning.

After Ino quietly returned, she quickly got busy in the kitchen. Although the night's impact had left her exhausted and she didn't even have the strength to walk, she took a recovery pill before returning home and was fully recovered.

While cooking, Ino unconsciously touched her face. Now, even without any skincare products, her skin was very smooth and tender, not much different from when she was eighteen. This was all because Uchiha Yoichi had forcibly fed her that Rejuvenation Pill.

Although Ino Yamanaka was troubled about how to explain the change in her appearance to Sakura and the others, she felt a greater sense of joy in her heart.

"That guy cares about me so much~ Hehe~~"

While making breakfast, Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but smile. If anyone else saw her like this, they would definitely say that she was deeply in love.

"Mom, is breakfast ready?"

Ino's words brought her back to her senses, and she quickly turned the spatula over and said, "It'll be ready soon, go wait at the table."

After regaining her composure and focusing on preparing the meal, Yamanaka Ino asked Inojin with concern, "Inojin, have you been studying hard at the ninja academy lately?"

"It's alright, but the Hokage's son just started school, and it seems quite a few people in his class dislike him, which is understandable given that he did such a dangerous thing."

While eating bread with bacon, Yamanaka Inojin casually remarked, "But that guy doesn't seem to care much about what other people think."

"Boruto, huh? Heh, he looks a bit like Naruto when he was a kid."

"The Seventh Generation?"

Ino smiled and said, "Yes, Naruto used to do things that attracted attention quite often, but he meant no harm. You'll see once you get to know him."

"Eh, is that so? But..."

Inojin looked at Ino's face and then asked, "Mom, you look great today. Hmm... there's something about you that I can't quite put my finger on, but you look really good."

"Yes, really? Hehe, maybe I slept very well last night."

Ino blushed as soon as she finished speaking. She hadn't slept well at all last night, having been dominated by the bull-like Uchiha Yangyi for most of the night. If she hadn't taken a secret pill before returning, she wouldn't have been able to get up.

"Mom has something to do today and might be home a little late tonight, but she'll make dinner for you in advance."

Ino Yamanaka gave him some instructions, and then, not long after Inojin went to school, she also went out and headed towards the Hokage Building.

Last night I promised to tell Naruto the prophecy for Uchiha Yang, and Ino also thought it was quite important, so I set off very early.

After arriving at the Hokage's office and finding the busy Naruto, Yamanaka Ino began to explain her background.

"What? A prophecy!?"

Naruto's face paled with shock upon hearing this. He then exchanged a glance with Shikamaru beside him and continued, "Ino, although I know he's an Onmyoji, judging from the disasters and treasures appearing in this other world..."

"It's a bit hard to believe!"

Nara Shikamaru, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "Ino, he himself said he was an Onmyoji. We are skeptical about this. Also, what is his purpose? Why would he tell you and the village about this?"

"You don't even doubt his identity? Apart from Onmyoji, even Lady Tsunade couldn't make those secret medicines. Isn't his identity obvious?"

Yamanaka Ino countered, feeling a little unhappy when she heard Naruto and Shikamaru suspect Uchiha Yoichi.

As for why he told her, Ino believed that Uchiha Yoichi was not lying to her, and that he told her because he was afraid that she would be hurt in this disaster.

Nara Shikamaru still disagreed, saying, "We can't completely trust him. He suddenly came to Konoha, and his abilities are quite unique. We need more information unless we can prove his identity in another way."

Ino Yamanaka asked, "What method?"

Nara Shikamaru glanced at Naruto, and then Naruto said, "The sage of Mount Myōboku understands Onmyoji. I hope to talk to him and work with the sage of Mount Myōboku."

"I'll go ask him then, but Naruto, I don't think he's lying."

Yamanaka Ino then shared her final thoughts before leaving the Hokage's office.

After she left, Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but say, "That Ino guy seems to really trust that pharmacy owner."

"Haha, it might be true. Anyway, let's confirm that guy's identity first. If he really is an Onmyoji, then we need to take the prophecy seriously."

Naruto Uzumaki chuckled, then said with a slightly serious expression, "I only found out recently that Mount Myōboku has a close relationship with Onmyoji. Whether that person is a real Onmyoji or not, the sages of Mount Myōboku will tell us."

Nara Shikamaru asked, "Did you tell the sages of Mount Myōboku?"

"Ah! I forgot!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto covered his head and quickly said, "Luckily, it's not too late to say it now. Hopefully, Fukasaku isn't using the Sage's Summoning Jutsu!"

Bang.

A puff of smoke appeared, followed by a white-bearded toad on Naruto's table. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn't carrying a bowl.

"Naruto, what can I do for you?"

"I do need your help with something, Master Fukasaku."

Naruto Uzumaki spoke up, "Regarding the matter of the Onmyoji who came to Konoha, although we've already asked you about it, we still have some doubts about his identity, so we'd like to ask you for help in verifying it."

Nara Shikamaru added from the side, "Especially since that guy talked about prophecies today, saying that in the near future, monsters or disasters from another world will appear in the ninja world, bringing treasures and opportunities."

After listening to Naruto and Shikamaru's words, Fukasaku fell into deep thought, and then slowly said, "Prophecy is indeed a kind of Yin-Yang technique, but it is one of the most difficult Yin-Yang techniques. Only the Great Master of Mount Myōboku knows it."

As for Onmyoji, I don't know them either. Onmyoji had already disappeared by the time I was born; the Ninja Clan was in charge of the ninja world at that time.

Nara Shikamaru, a thought flashing through his mind, asked, "So, the Onmyoji's identity might be fake?"

"Not necessarily. It might really be an Onmyoji. Let me meet him first, after all, it's been too long."

Fukasaku shook his head and said that when he was born, Onmyoji had disappeared from the ninja world for hundreds of years. Although there were still records of Onmyojutsu on Mount Myōboku, he had never practiced it.

How to verify the identity of an Onmyoji? It doesn't know either, it can only take a look first.

Naruto Uzumaki spoke up, "If it's true, then it concerns the entire ninja world. Shikamaru, call Sakura and the others over as well."

Nara Shikamaru nodded and said, "I understand."

Soon, Ino Yamanaka brought Yoichi Uchiha to the Hokage's office, along with Sakura, Tsunade, Kakashi, and others, who were also called over by Shikamaru.

If that's true, then we should listen to the opinions of the previous two Hokage.

"Welcome, Yoichi-kun. I am Naruto Uzumaki, the Hokage of Konoha."

Upon meeting Uchiha Yoichi, Uzumaki Naruto smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to the others. This is Fukasaku, the sage of Mount Myōboku, my assistant Nara Shikamaru, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and the Sixth Paths Hokage Kakashi Hatake."

After introducing everyone in the room, Naruto Uzumaki turned to Yoichi Uchiha.

"Yoichi, an Onmyoji who travels everywhere."

Uchiha Yoichi said with a smile, then looked at Fukasaku, the toad from Mount Myōboku, who had died at his hands in his world.

Before anyone else could speak, Fukasaku asked first, "Onmyoji have been extinct for over a thousand years, and this is the first time I've ever seen one."

"They didn't disappear; they just felt there was no need for them to show up. Besides, I know about your Mount Myōboku and the Ten's family's contracted beasts."

After Uchiha Yangyi finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and drew some runes in the air, which quickly formed a Yin-Yang incantation.

"The Kagura family and the Amahori family are on good terms, so I know a bit about the Amahori family's Yin-Yang incantations, such as this 'Hurry, hurry, as the law commands'."

Most of the people in the room were quite surprised to see Uchiha Yoichi draw the Yin-Yang incantation in the void without having any chakra in his body.

The most shocked was the hermit of Mount Myōboku. Upon seeing the Yin-Yang incantation before him, he immediately recalled an incantation in the cave containing the library of Mount Myōboku that was exactly the same as the one before him, except that he did not know what the incantation represented.

But this is enough to prove the identity of the person in front of us; he is undoubtedly an Onmyoji.

Sensing Naruto's gaze, Fukasaku nodded with certainty. Aside from the Great Lord, only Fukasaku and Shima had ever been to the library cave of Mount Myōboku. This person could draw this incantation, so his identity was definitely legitimate, and he even knew the origins of Mount Myōboku in a single sentence.

After confirming Uchiha Yoichi's identity, Naruto's expression turned slightly serious, and he asked, "I'm sorry, I doubted your identity, but what Ino told me was too shocking. Could you please tell me in more detail now?"

"Of course, I can. In fact, my ability to 'predict' is quite limited, but as long as I successfully predict the future, what I see will not be wrong."

Uchiha Yang smiled and then explained the possibilities brought about by [Divine Punishment and Blessing].

Everyone else listened very attentively, but Sakura was a little distracted. She had just heard that it was related to Ino, and she suddenly felt a little curious. How did Ino relay the prophecy of Boss Yoichi?

Moreover, Sakura couldn't help but look at Ino. She suddenly felt that Ino looked exceptionally good today. Both her skin and appearance were like those of a teenage girl.

"This is the prophecy I saw: the collision of two timelines will cause the opening of interdimensional gates from time to time. These interdimensional gates may not appear at all, or they may reveal extremely terrifying beasts, or even natural disasters."

Uchiha Yang said, "As for those in the room who don't understand anything, let them lie as they please."

"Um, I have a question," Kakashi asked, "Why do powerful monsters sometimes appear alongside treasures? Is there any connection between the two?"

Uchiha Yoichi glanced at Kakashi and then said, "That might be the treasure they were guarding, which came along with the strange beasts. Or it could be a coincidence. In any case, that's what I saw in the scene."

Naruto Uzumaki asked, "So, when is the earliest you can expect what you've said to happen?"

"At the earliest, it will be the next second; at the latest, it will be three days later. As for where it will appear, I have no idea."

Uchiha Yoichi shrugged and said, "It could be in the distant deep sea, or it could be in Konoha Village. I can't predict where it will appear."
